RAYONIER MADE THIS AN IMPORTANT CHEMICAL NATURAL RESOURCE.
These drawings were made from two actual ears of com grown last year in Nebraska.
The one on the right was fed a chemical (Rayplex-Zn) developed by Rayonier. The one on the left
wasn't. The chemical is made from tree bark.
The beautiful thing about tree bark (besides the products we turn it into) is that it grows. We farm
about 2 million acres of trees, planting as we cut. And from the bark, we produce among other things,
Rayplex to make farmer’s crops grow faster and better, and Rayflo to make it easier to drill for oil—both
at very sensible prices.
From the wood of the tree we make chemical cellulose that goes into rayon, tire cord, cigaret filters,
plastics and about 6000 other products. In fact, these days about the only part of a tree that Rayonier
doesn't turn into a chemical is the logger’s “Timber!”
And you thought bark was just a wrapping for wood?

SLIGHT INCREASE
IN BROILER OUTPUT
EXPECTED IN 1965
Georgia
Expanded broiler production
and more competition from red
meats and turkeys caused aver
age U. S. prices for live broilers
to drop from 15.2 cents per pound
in 1962 to about 14 cents at the
end of 1964.
Prospects for 1965 appear to of
fer but little encouragement.
That opinion was expressed this
week by Paul C. Bunce, Coopera
tive Extension Service outlook in
formation specialist at the Uni
versity of Georgia, after he had
studied the current production
marketing situation.
Output of broilers is expected
to register only a small increase
this year, he said. Because of
recently increased hatchery ac-
tivity, production will be above
1964 levels in the early part of this
year.
But Mr. Bunce indicated the in
dustry may be able to avoid over
expansion in the first half of 1965.
“During this period,” he explain
ed, “the number of layers produc
ing hatching eggs will be smaller
than a year ago.”
He also said that trying to in
crease output under existing con
ditions would increase costs.
“And in addition,” Mr. Bunce con
tinued, “low broiler prices in the
last quarter of 1964 will dis
courage production in the first
half of 1965.”
The second half of the year may
be another story, however. The
Extension outlook information
specialist pointed out that hatch
ery supply flocks will be re
building by mid-year. Also,
prices in the first half of the year
will tend to encourage expansion.
WHICH MADE
THIS DIFFERENCE.
Competition from turkeys is ex
pected to be stronger in the later
months, too.
Mr. Bunce cited these reasons
in making the prediction that
broiler prices in 1965 are likely
to be lower in the second half of
the year than during the January-
June period.

Questions and Answers
on the Bible
BY MRS. GLADYS B. JOHNSON
Readers are invited to submit questions they would like dis
cussed to Mrs. Gladys B. Johnson, Blackshear, Ga.
4RE ASH WEDNESDAY AND
THE SEASON OF LENT
MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE
AND HOW DID
THEY ORIGINATE?
Neither Ash Wednesday nor
Lent are found in Scripture as
institutions. Lent is a forty day
fast in preparation for Easter and
Ash Wednesday is the first day of
Lent. The custom of some
churches on Ash Wednesday is to
have the sign of the cross made
on the forehead of the worship
pers with the ashes of the palms
used on Palm Sunday. This cere
mony is an outward sign to show
inward penitence.
The early church after Paul’s
death took over the practice of
fasting from Judaism but they
soon substituted Wednesday and
Friday for the Jewish days in
memory of Christ’s death. Christ
did not condemn fasting in itself
—only hypocritical fasting. In fact,
He practiced it Himself and gave
instructions in Matthew 6:16-18 as
to the way it was to be done.
The Christian was not to make
a show of his fasting — but to
do it in secret for the Father can
see into the secret places of the
heart and will reward openly.
Lent was instituted about the
beginning of the fourth century
during a time of great persecu
tion. At first it consisted of just
40 hours — in memory of Christ’s
stay in the tomb and based on
Matthew 9:15. Later, 40 days was
set as the length of time because
of the experience of our Lord with
Satan in the wilderness tempta
tion. Matthew 4:2. Actual fast
ing has practically disappeared
but Lent is susposed to be a time
of self-denial and a remembrance
of the suffering and death of
Christ.
Certainly if we limit our self
denial to a period of forty days
we have missed the point entirely
of Christ’s admonition as found
in Matthew 16:24 — “If anyone
wants to follow in my footsteps
he must give up all right to him
self, take up his cross and fol
low me.” Our self-denial should
be a denial of SELF and a com
plete surrender to the will of
God.
The observance of Lent is a
matter for each individual to de
cide for himself. Scripture does
not command it and we must be
careful to remember Paul’s warn
ing in Galatians 4:9,10 that we not
become so burdened by the ob
servance of days that we forget
the Lord Himself in our cere
monies and rituals.
Jesus had His seasons of pray
er alone upon the mountain top
as He contemplated the cross
and the suffering which was be
fore Him. What better time could
we find for such meditation as in
the days iust preceding the cele
bration of His death and resur
rection?
Lent could become a time when
material things are put in their
proper place — secondary to
Christ and His Kingdom work. It
could be a time when we gave
ourselves a ‘check up’ to see how
we stood in our Christian life and
to see if perhaps we should make
some adjustments or change our
direction.
It is not enough to resolve to
do better, but we must yield our
lives completely to the One who
said, “For the man who wants to
save his life will lose it; but the
man who loses his life for my
sake will find it. For what good
is it for a man to gain the
whole world at the price of his
owm soul? What could a man of
fer to buy back his soul once he
had lost it?”
Arson Investioators
' 2-Wav Radios
Safetv Fire Commissioner
r ”mes L. Bentley revealed to
day that two-way radios re
cently have been installed in
the automobiles of all Georgia
Arson Investigators.
‘"This action has been taken
to insure the protection of our
men against the many hazards
that are created bv working
with one of society’s most un
predictable and dangerous cri
minals — the arsonist,” Bent
lev said.
The installation of the two
wav radios will enable the
State Arson Investigators, each
of whom serve anoroximately
twenty-five Georgia counties,
to communicate with sheriffs.
GBI agents and other law en
forcement officers ouicklv and
efficiently noon notification of
suspicions fires.
“In 1964. our Arson Division
investigated 434 fires of sus
picious origin involving more
than $9 million in insurance.”
Commissioner Bentlev con
tinued. “The installation of
this system of communication
will greativ increase the effi
ciency of the Division as well
as afford our investigators
greater protection in their
dangerous occupation.”
HOG CHOLERA
STILL POSES
A PROBLEM
Sporadic outbreaks of hog cho
lera still pose a serious problem
to the state’s swine producers.
Dr. Charles N. Dobbins, Jr., head
of the Cooperative Extension Ser
vice veterinary department, Uni
versity of Georgia, warned this
week.
The record for the past three
months has been marred by an
increase in the number of cases,
he said. Most of the recent cases,
Dr. Dobbins continued, are relat
ed to exposed swine not being re
ported, but moved through, trade
channels. He pointed out that this
endangers all the other swine at
the auction markets.
“Due to the present low level of
swine protected by vaccination,
careless movement of unhealthy
swine may lead to an explosive
situation,” the veterinarian de
clared.
Although an indemnity is paid
for hogs lost because of cholera,
responsible swine growers, ac
cording to Dr. Dobbins, find it
advisable to protect their enter
prises by vaccinating all swine
with killed virus vaccines as re
commended by the Georgia State
Department of Agriculture. Swine
moving from auction markets to
the farm are required to be ino-

culated with anti-hog cholera
serum for immediate temporary
immunity.
Dr. Dobbins recommends that
swine growers observe their herds
carefully for signs or symptoms
of cholera. If the disease is sus
pected, it should be reported im
mediately to the local veterinar
ian, county agent, or State De
partment of Agriculture.
The Georgia Hog Cholera Era
dication Program pays indemni
ty for hogs lost to cholera when
the infection has been reported
and confirmed by laboratory tests.
“Under no circumstances,” Dr.
Dobbins emphasized, “should un
healthy swine be moved into
trade channels.”
