Control Weeds Around Pastures Agent Advises It is a good pasture manage ment practice to control weeds in fence rows, turn rows, idle field borders and on terraces, County Agent George A. Loyd said this week. These areas are often sources of weeds that contaminate pastures, he explained. He gave the following re commendations for control ling these weeds: Foliage sprays for woody plants and weeds, including mixed brush species, are est ers of 2, 4-D, 2,4, 5-T, or silvex at 2 to 4 pounds per 100 gal lons or water applied as a drenching spray. A mixture of 2, 4-D and 2,4, 5-T is sugges ted for control of mixed brush species, as some are tolerant to one of the herbicides but not to the other. For trees and brush less than six inches in diameter, use esters of 2, 4-D, 2,4, 5-T or mixtures of these herbi cides at 8 to 16 pounds in 100 gallons of diesel oil. Apply this mixture as a diesel spray during either dormant or ac tive growth periods. A gallon of solution is e nough to spray about 100 di ameter inches, which would amount to about 50 two-inch trees. Apply the spray to the en tire basal area of all stems, completely wetting the bark to a height of 6 to 12 inches. Basal treatment is usually more effective than foliage ap plications. In areas where tobacco, or other susceptable plants are grown, extreme care should be used when applying any of the above herbicides. These materials should not be used within several hundred yards of susceptable plants, and should be applied only on still days, or when wind is blowing away from susceptable plants. Sprayers used to apply these herbicides should never be used to spray other crops, especially tobacco, even after it has been cleaned.

Millet Important In Pasture Plans County Agent Says Millet is an excellent permanent pasture supplement for dairy cows and fattening steers, and thus has an important place in Brantley County’s Big M Pasture Program, says County Agent George A. Lo yd- Millet relieves pressure on per manent pastures, especially dur ing droughts, he points out. On good soil, well fertilized mil let is ready for grazing 30 to 40 days after planting. It works well in rotation following winter an nual grazing crops, and may also follow small grain that has been harvested for grain. Both Gahi-1 and Starr millet are strong feeders, and few plants are better able to draw on resi dual soil fertility, the county a gent says. Gahi-1 is a hybrid that starts faster from seed, recovers faster when grazed or mowed and pro duces more growth than other millets. It yields well late in the season. Gahi-1 is leafier than common millet but less leafy than Starr. However, research at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station indi cates that it is equal to Starr in quality and better in overall pro duction when grazed by dairy cows. Starr millet is a variety of Cat tail millet. It has shorter inter nodes and wider leaves, and it matures later than common. It is more drought resistant and will produce more forage than Sudan grass, common millet of Brown top millet. Millet should be planted on land convenient to the bam and live stock quarters, according to the county agent. To produce a good stand, first prepare a good seedbed and fer tilize and lime according to soil test recommendations. General fertilizer recommendations are 5 pounds of 6-12-12 or 5-10-15 and 80 to 100 pounds of actual nitro gen per acre. Split applications of nitrogen usually increase yield and protein content of forage pro duced late in season. Millet should be planted in A pril, May or June in 30-to 36-inch rows, using 10 to 15 pounds of seed per acre. Planting dates should be stag gered so that new plantings come into production throughout the summer. Plantings should be ar ranged so that the soil for the second planting is ready about two to three weeks after the first. County Agent, George A. Loyd advises providing one-half acre of millet per cow or animal unit. He says it is important to use certified seed. When seed are broadcast. 25 to 30 pounds per acre should be us ed. Mrs. Walker Died Wednesday In Jacksonville Mrs. Laura Crews Walker, 65, of Route 1, Nahunta passed away early Wednesday night, April 29, in a Jacksonville, Fla. nursing home where she had been a pa tient for some time. Mrs. Walker was born in Charl ton, now Brantley, county and was the daughter of the late Cage and Delia O’Brien Crews. She receiv ed her education in the schools of that county and had resided in the Hickox community for many years. She is survived by four daugh ters, Mrs. Ernest Williams, Mrs. Louise Johns and Mrs. Waddell Crews, all of Jacksonville, Fla., and Mrs. Hazel Annis of Har mony, Maine; four sons, Lester Walker of Jacksonville, Fla., Clyde Walker of Opelika, Ala., El ton Walker of Baxley, and Morris Walker of Harmony, Maine; one brother, Ben Crews of Nahunta. 29 Grandchildren, 4 great grand children, several nieces, nephews and other relatives also survive. As the Enterprise goes to press, funeral arrangements are incom plete pending the arrival of re latives and full details will be carried in next week’s edition. The Chambless Funeral Home of Nahunta is in charge of arrange ments. Forest Seminars Are Planned for 2 Georgia Areas Agricultural committee chair men of two area planning and development commissions have announced that forestry semi nars will be held in May as a “shot in the arm” for timber, pulpwood, and naval stores in dustries in 14 Georgia counties.

OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Nahunta Senior Class Sponsors Beauty Pageant Pope Duncan Is Speaker at Lions Meeting Dr. Pope A. Duncan, dean of Brunswick College, spoke to the Brantley County Lion’s Club Monday evening. He discussed the develop ment of the new college and its value to this area. He in formed the club that 200 fresh men would be accepted next faU if qualified. He gave as surance that the college credits received there would be valid and transferrable. Dr. Duncan pointed out that the area within a 50 mile ra dius would greatly benefit from the presence of an in stitution of higher education. Students from this area could commute daily. The cost would be well within the means of any student who desired the education. He also said that entrance qualifications would not be as rigid as elsewhere. “Brunswick College is one of the ways Georgia is answer ing the pressing demands for more facilities for students. The pressure of the increased population and growing de mand for college degrees in the labor market makes such an institution necessary," he concluded. Six guests were present at the meeting. Members of the School Board and the 4-H club were present. Sandra Ja cobs presented the club with a check for the swimming pool. 4-H club members had done home projects to raise funds for the pool. Raymond Smith, chairman of the pool committee, report ed that construction on the pool may begin soon. Serve Beef Often For Spring Fare Give beef top billing in planning spring menus, suggests the U. S. Department of Agriculture. USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service points out that plentiful supplies of high quality beef in the Southeast make this meat a wise choice for budget-minded meal planners. Several ideas for tasty servings of beef are suggested by USDA: For a party luncheon that’s both tasty and easy to prepare, serve party hamburgers. Just blend ground beef with cooked rice, then decorate each hamburger with a face, using peanuts, onions, slices of canned ripe olives, or celery, for the decorations. Try potted beef steaks for a flavorful dish that requires only an hour’s cooking. For 6 servings, select 6 individual steaks cut from round or chuck. Dredge steaks in flour and brown slowly in hot fat. Add 1 large onion, sliced; 3 or 5 carrots, sliced; 2 whole clo ves; 2 bay leaves; and 1 cup each catsup and hot water. Sprin kle with salt and pepper, cover tightly, and cook slowly about 1 hour on top of the range. To make use of left-over beef, serve beef rolls. Prepare by grinding up bits of steak or roast and adding gravy and diced onion. Roll the meat in pastry dough, and bake like a jelly roll. Serve with sour cream sauce, canned com, and tossed salad. Smothered beef is a tasty way of using a 3 or 4 pound beef rump roast. To prepare, roll the meat in seasoned flour and brown slowly in heavy dutch oven, using about Vt cup cooking fat. When the meat is browned, add 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1 cup tomato juice, 1 bay leaf, and 2 table-spoons prepared mustard. Cover the pan tightly and sim mer for about 3 hours, or until tender. Serve with parsley buttered noodles. POTENT PLANT FOOD High analysis fertilizers save la bor and thus cost less to apply. They have one main disadvantage, according to P. J. Bergeaux, Co operative Extension Service a gronomist. That is a lack of sul fur. Mr. Bergeaux says this prob lem can be solved, however, by the addition of sulfur to the high analysis fertilizer.
