VOLUME 43 - NUMBER 47
50-Bushel Record Reached for '65;
Some Predict 400 Bushels in Future
Three hundred to 400 bushels
of corn per acre in Georgia?
We have farmers with visions
of such yields, and many of our
plant breeders and other research
workers are shooting for the same
goals, said W. H. Gurley, Ex
tension Service agronomist at the
University of Georgia.
To think in terms of 400 bush
els, while we are still recogniz
ing 4-H Club members and farm
ers who produce 100 bushels, may
seem a bit far out, Mr. Gurley
admitted. He added, however,
that such a yield is probably no
more of an illusion than a 50-
bushel per acre state average
goal would have been 25 years
ago.
If the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service estimate holds up, the 50-
bushel average was achieved in
1965. This is a record, seven
bushels more than the previous
high of 43 bushels in 1963, and
nearly five times better than any
average Georgia farmers could
come up with prior to 1940. And
Mr. Gurley pointed out that it
is double the 25 bushels in 1957
when Extension launched its first
“What Can Be Done?” program.
“What Can Be Done?” was a
new intensified effort designed to
speed research information from
experiment stations to farms of
the state, and to encourage fast
er and wider adoption of improv
ed practices. The program’s ob
jective was to boost agricultural
income in Georgia by S4OO mil
lion annually by 1965. Substantial
yield increases would be sought
for all crops. The goal for corn:
40 bushels per acre this year.
To help speed progress toward
the goal, the Extension agronomy
department in 1959 began a Mas
ter Corn program which included
a complete package of production
know-how, from land preparation
to harvesting, and intensive train
ing of county agents to increase
their ability to disseminate the
information to farmers. Virtual
ly all educational media — includ
ing result and method demonstra
tions, grower meetings, farm
tours, TV programs, press re
leases, and radio programs —
were used to get the story across.
Counties were literally saturated
with information on how to grow
corn.
That the 40-bushel goal was
reached two years ahead of sche
dule, and then surpassed by ten
bushels, Mr. Gurley believes, is
a tribute to the Georgia farmers
who quickly adopted new approv
ed methods of corn production
based on research.
The Extension Service has ini
tiated another “What Can Be
Done?” program, for 1965-1970,
and the goal for corn five years
hence is 60 bushels. Mr. Gurley is
confident this yield will be ex
ceeded well before 1970. “With
presentday hybrids and techni
ques we can produce much higher
yields,” he said.
While many farmers have al
ready proved this, not enough
growers are taking advantage of
the research information and Ex
tension recommendations avail
able now from county agents, Mr.
Gurley believes. “If present re
search recommendations were ap
plied to each acre of corn, the
state average yield would be a
bove 75 bushels per acre al
ready,” he declared.
There is no question but what
the additional corn is needed in
Georgia. Although this years’ re
cord per acre yield will result
in a total of about 76,750,000 bush
els and put approximately SIOO
million in the pockets of our
farmers, it is still only half of the
state’s com requirements for
livestock and poultry feed. Geor
gia traditionally imports about as
much corn as it produces.
Three hundred to 400-bushel per
acre yields would wipe out the
deficit in a hurry, but this kind
of production, admittedly, is
reserved for some time in the fu
ture. There are, however, several
practices which could be improv
ed to boost Georgia’s com yield
substantially in 1966. Mr. Gurley
listed them as follows:
(1) Fertilizer. The use of fer
tilizer on com has more than
doubled in the past decade. But
the average pounds per acre of
nitrogen, phosphorus, and potas
sium is still too low. In 1964 com
producers used an average of 80
pounds of nitrogen, 50 pounds of
phosphorus, and 60 pounds of pot
ash. Research shows that 120
pounds of nitrogen, 60 pounds of
phosphorus, and 90 pounds at pot-
HOW HIGH THE CORN YIELD?
ash can be used economically.
(2) Lime. Soil acidity is reduc
ing yields on many farms. Many
farmers are losing five to ten
bushels per acre and are not
even aware of a calcium defici
ency in the soil. This problem
can be corrected inexpensively
by applying lime.
(3) Spacing. Plants per acre
have more than doubled, on the
average, in the last ten years.
But there is still a wide variation.
Plant population probably ranges
from less than 8,000 to more than
20,000. Lack of uniformity is the
main problem. Farmers and ma
chinery dealers need to be aware
of correct planter plates; size,
germination, and vigor of seed;
fertilizer placement, and other
practices to obtain a uniform
stand.
(4) Weed Control. Herbicides
offer the greatest potential in re
ducing labor and machinery costs
in corn production. In 1964, how
ever, only 11 percent of the total
corn acreage was treated with
chemicals. Mechanization is a
must in corn production, and
chemical weed control is essen
tial to mechanization.
(5) Water. Georgia generally
has enough rainfall to produce
high yields of corn, but many
times the distribution is critical.
Water needs of corn are greatest
during the tasseling and silking
period. Irrigation at this stage
can often mean the difference be
tween a profitable corn crop and
a crop failure.
Library Club
Members Go
To Homerville
The Nahunta Library Club was
excited at they boarded the school
bus driven by Mr. Virgil Rowell,
Thursday morning for the 1965
Student Library Association which
was held at Homerville School.
They found another excited
group at the Hoboken School who
joined them. Thirty-five library
assistants, Mrs. Mary Lou ilib
son and Miss Polly Middleton,
Librarians, Mrs. Cason, and
Mrs. Mable Moody attended.
S. L. A. has as its motto this
year, “Today’s Readers Are To
morrow’s Educators’s.” This was
made real as the program pro
gressed under the leadership of
pretty Gail Cason of Hoboken,
president.
Mr. Lloyd Mims, principal of
Clinch County High School, ex
tended greetings. Miss Nancy
Griner, Clinch County, gave the
welcome. Miss Mary Alice Lee
of Clinch County introduced Mrs.
Sam Fain, Okefenokee Regional
Library, who was the main speak
er of the day.
Mrs. Fern spoke on ”The Im
portance and Rewards of Being a
Librarian.” She ponited out there
is much work involved but that
the rewards are great. She also
told them that the library is no
longer the place for the homely
old maids, but a challenge to
the young.
The group enjoyed band music
during their break.
They were entertained after the
break with numbers from the
Clinch County girls’ trio, and
two special numbers by Coach
Studdard.
Mrs. Moody served on the com
mittee for judging bulletin boards
submitted by the clubs. Charlton
County won first place with
Georgia Authors, Nahunta High
second, with one on “Overall
Good Reading,” and Hoboken
third with one on references.
Several door prizes were given,
with Miss Middleton winning one.
Lunch was served in the ele
ffiientary cafeteria after which
campaign speeches were heard
and elections held. Miss Leeah
Walker, Hoboken was elected sec
retary-treasurer.
The clubs returned home feel
ing they were rewarded for their
work as library assistants and
with a greater determination to
be of better service.

Mrs. Nellie White
Killed When
Hit by Truck
Positive identification of the
body of a Jacksonville, Fla.
woman, who was struck and
fatally injured early Friday
morning, November 19, on U.
S. 301 north of Hortense near
the Wayne-Brantley county
line, was .made by relatives of
the woman late Sunday night,
November 21.
According to investigating
officers, Mrs. Nellie Jones
White, 46, of Jacksonville was
walking along the shoulder of
the road and stepped into the
path of a north bound truck.
The driver of the truck stopp
ed and flagged down a passing
automobile, which happened
to be an ambulance returning
to Jacksonville. The attendants
rendered aid to the victim and
the Chambless ambulance
from Nahunta was summoned,
along with law enforcement
officers.
The victim expired within a
few minutes following the ac
cident, and the body was re
moved to the Chambless Fun
eral home in Nahunta. The
victim carried no identification
and local officers, J. Walter
Crews and Robert Johns, as
sisted by GBI agent H. L.
Lunsford of Brunswick began
an investigation as to the vic
tim’s identity.
A pack of cigarettes found
in the pocket of the victim’s
clothing by Mr. Chambless
provided the only clue as it
bore a Florida cigarette tax
stamp, and from this the offi
cers began their probe as to
the identity of the woman.
Fingerprints were taken and
photographs were sent to the
Jacksonville TV stations and
from this effort results were
obtained. Many phone calls
were received by the local of
ficers and the funeral home
concerning the woman and
positive identification was
made approximately 66 hours
following the accident.
Hundreds passed through
the mortuary and viewed the
body in the attempt to estab
lish identity. The picture that
was shown on TV resulted in
a phone call being made from
Jacksonville to Atlanta with
the resulting identification be
ing made by the family of the
woman.
The woman was identified
as being Mrs. Nellie Rachel
Jones White, 46, of Jackson
ville, Fla. She was born in
Dallas, Ga. and was the daugh
ter of Mrs. Josie Tumlin Jones
of Atlanta and the late Eman
uel Noah Jones. She had been
a resident of Jacksonville for
the past year.
In addition to her mother,
survivors inclued her husband,
James A. White of Jackson
ville, Fla.; two daughters, Mrs.
John Norris, Jr. of Atlanta and
Miss Della Rose White of
Jacksonville; three sisters,
Mrs. Ruth Smith, Mrs. Ruby
Cooper and Mrs. Mary Norris,
all of Atlanta; two brothers.
Wiley M. Jones and Richard
Jones, both of Atlanta.
Four grandchildren, several
nieces, nephews and other rel
atives also survive.
The body was carried to At
lanta early Monday morning
where funeral services were
held.
Interment followed in Mount
Olive Cemetery near Dallas,
Ga.
The Chambless Funeral
Home of Nahunta was in
charge of local arrangements.
