Management of Tobacco Plants
Growing Under Plastic Covers
By George A. Loyd
Due to the recent hard freeze
most farmers have found that the
prospects for having enough plants
to set their acreage is poor.
Many however, have resorted
to putting in extra beds, or re
seeding the existing beds and cov
ering them with plastic covers.
This is good in that plants can
be produced within 6 to 8 weeks
if these beds are handled proper
ly.
It could also be detrimental to
the resown beds, when some of
the original plants have surviv
ed.
I am listing the rules for pro
duction of tobacco plants under
plastic covers, and applies speci
fically to plants started under
plastic. Therefore they may not
all be applicable in every case,
but I am sure some of them are
and should be applied, whether
new beds have been sown or exist
ing beds reseeded.
1. Locate bed only on well
drained soil. Low, wet areas are
not suited.
2. Seed no earlier than 60 days
before the plants are wanted for
setting. Complete treatment with
methyl bromide at least 10 days
before seeding.
3. Use no more than one pound
per square yard of a 4-9-3 fertili
zer. Do not use any kind of ma
nure or other organic fertilizers.
4. If well distributed, 1/5 ounce
of seed per 100 square yards is
ample. It is possible that 1/6
ounce would be better, provided
ample moisture is maintained in
the top of the soil.
5. As soon as seed are sown,
water the bed and put the plastic
cover on immediately.
6. Watch the bed closely dur
ing the first two weeks and water
if needed. Check the soil on top
of the bed. Do not let moisture on
the cover deceive you into think
ing that soil moisture is adequate.
7. Do not over-water, Experi
mental evidence indicates that
plants produced under plastic
will require only one-third as
much irrigation as those grown
under cheesecloth. Water in the
morning, especially in cool weath
er.
8. Ventilation will be necessary
on clear days when outside air
temperatures exceed 65 degrees.
Sufficient ventilation can usually
be provided by opening both ends
of the bed. Beds should not be
longer than 25 yards, nor wider
than four yards, with cover be
ing 24-30 inches high on center of
bed, and 12-15 inches at sides.
9. While blue mold may not be
as severe under plastic, it is sug
gested that the same dusting and
spraying schedule be followed as
frequently. When covers are re
moved permanently for harden
ing or pulling plants, be sure to

Official Staking
And Referencing
Offered Farmers
Brantley County farmers can
arrange for official staking and
referencing of their 1966 acreages
of the County Agricultural Stabi
lization and Conservation Com
mittee announced this week.
To get staking and referencing
service, which is being provided
on a cost basis, a farmer must
file a written request with the
County ASCS Office prior to
April 1, 1966, says Mr. Dykes,
Committee Chairman. The rate to
be charged for the service in
Brantley County has been estab
lished at $5 per farm, plus 50
cents per acre, plus $1 for each
field or sub-division in excess of
3, and payment based on this
rate must be made at the time
the request for staking and refer
encing is filed.
“The staking and referencing
is purely optional,” says Mr.
Dykes, “and is offered as a ser
vice to farmers who prefer to
have an official measurement to
use as a planting guide.”
The chairman explains that all
of these acreages in the county
will be measured as soon as pos
sible after crops are planted to
determine compliance with the
programs. When compliance is
checked, the official acreage shall
be the acreage staked and refer
enced if the crop or land use is
limited to the staked and refer
enced area.

GAINS AGAINST CANCER
Are we making gains against
cancer? The American Cancer
Society reports that the Georgia
cancer death rate actually de
creased slightly in 1964 and that
gains in diagnosis and treatment
have helped make possible the
saving of more than 27,000 Geor
gians now alive and cured of can
cer. Early diagnosis and treat
ment is the best hope for cancer
cure. Every adult man and wo
man should have a complete can
cer detection examination once a
year.

Basic Food Needs
Os Family Told
By Miss Brown
By Nancy Brown
Home Economics Teacher
Today’s modern homemaker is
very calorie and nutrition cons
cious when it comes to feeding
her family. She realizes that the
old saying “you are what you
eat” is true to a very great ex
tent.
Your appearance, your behav
ior and your health are all
affected by your diet. Your en
ergy, enthusiasm, and even your
enjoyment of life are influenced
to a great extent by what you
eat.
It is important that the home
maker include in the diet the
following:
Protein-rich foods for building
and repairing body tissues.
(Meats, fish, eggs, milk and milk
products).
Green or yellow vegetables for
frequently essential minerals and
vitamins.
A food rich in vitamin C every
day for healthy blood vessels,
bones, teeth, and gums. (Oranges,
grapefruit, tomatoes).
Whole-grain or enriched breads
and cereals for essential nutrients
and for energy.
Your child’s eating habits are
forming now. Whether or not he
develops satisfactory eating ha
bits depends on your attitudes con
cerning food and nutrition. The
wise mother does not nag her
child into eating more than he
wants. See that he eats a well
balanced diet but forget yester
day’s belief that a fat child was
naturally a healthy one.
The Nahunta FHA Chapter is
sponsoring a “Eat Right for Bet
er Health” campaign and will run
for the next few weeks a series
of articles concerning food and
its influence on one’s health.

Questions and Answers
on the Bible
BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON
Does Scripture have anything
to say about the Nation of Russia?
We must turn to Genesis 10:1
and 2 to discover how Russia ori
ginally became a nation. After
the destruction of the world by
the Flood there were but 8 living
souls on earth — Noah, his wife
and sons, Shem, Ham and Jap
heth, and their wives.
Verse 2 gives the genealogy of
Japheth — “The sons of Japheth:
Gomer, and Magog, and Madai,
and Javan, and Tubal, and Me
shech, and Tiras.” From these
7 sons of Japheth are descended
the ‘goyim” or Gentiles. This
name has nothing to do with reli
gion, but simply means that they
were non-Jewish. For our purpose
we are interested in but 3 of these
sons, Magog, Tubal and Mescheh.
Ethnologists tell us that the Jap
hethites, after the flood, migrat
ed from Asia Minor to the north,
beyond the Caspian and Black
Seas. They built villages and rais
ed their families in the area of
Rosh, that which we today know
as Russia. From Magog descend
ed the ancient Scythians, or Tar
tars, whose descendants are pre
dominate in modem Russia.
Tubal’s descendants peopled the
region of the Black Sea. Broadly
speaking, Russia is the modem
land of Magag, Tubal and Mes
cheh.
Nowhere in the Bible do we
find these names mentioned a
gain as to their place in prophecy
or in the event that are yet to
take place upon earth? Ezekiel
38, 39.
Space will not permit me to go
into detail, but we believe that
this prophecy of Ezekial against
“Gog, the land of Magog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal” re
fers to the great northern power
of Russia. "Gog” is the prince —
“Magog” his land. “Meschech”
is Moscow — “Tubal” is Tobolsk.
There will be 4 great world
leaders in power just before the
return of the Lord to the earth.
Since Palestine is to be the hub
of the world and is the chief con
cern of all prophecy, these world
powers are known by their geo
graphic relationship to Palestine.
There is the “King of the North,”

The highlight of the awards pre
sentation was reached when Bar
bara Allen and Jack Brooker
were given the second annual a

ing 4-H boy and girl of the 1966
Senior class.

Brand.
Warning Given
On Flying Kites
Words of caution to boys and
girls who fly kites and to their
parents were issued this week by
E. E. Pritchard of Blackshear,
Georgia Power Company Local
Manager, who urged that the six
safety rules of kite flying be fol
lowed closely during coming
weeks.
The Georgia Power official list
ed the following kite flying rules:
1. Don’t fly kites in rainy
weather or thunderstorms.
2. Don’t fly kites near power
lines.
3. If a kite becomes entangled
in power lines, leave it alone. Do
not attempt to get it down.
4. Don’t use metal on kites, kite
strings or kite tails.
5. Instead, use dry cotton string
and dry cloth in the tails.
6. Don’t dash across streets or
highways while kite frying.
“King of the South,” “King of the
West” and the “King of the East.”
Keep in mind that long ago
God promised the land of Pales
tine to the Jewish people. He in
tends to keep that promise. Al
though it seems that Russia and
Communism will engulf the en
tire world, yet God is still in con
trol. He is using them to achieve
His own purposes. Their success
thus far is only by the permissive
will of God.
Shortly after the Church is re
moved from this world, the King
of the West promises the Jewish
people the entire land of Palestine
as their own. This infuriates the
peoples of the East, inchiding the
Arab states so they become the
allies of Russia.
Now Ezekial says that Gog
(Russia) covets the immense
wealth of the land of Palestine
and will call upon her allies that
they might "go up to the land of
unwalled villages.” Unprotected
because the Jews are trusting in
the promise of the Western pow
ers rather than depending upon
God.
The nations of the Western
world protest feebly but Russia is
in command and they seemingly
cannot prevent her attack upon
Palestine. However, they have
reckoned without God. God per
mits Russia to enter Palestine
that He may show to the whole
world that He is God and that not
even the powerful force of Com
munism can withstand His might.
Rusia brings death and destruc
tion to Palestine but God allows
no nation or ism to deny that He
is the one true God so by rain,
hail, lightening and earthquake
He destroys 5/6ths of the armies
of Russia and her allies. Millions
who supported the movement of
Communism are liquidated in an
instant of time by the Divine pow
er of God.
Yes, Russia has a place in pro
phecy and God will allow her and
her atheistic teaching to increase
to the point where she will feel
that she can safely invade Pales
tine. There God will wipe her and
Communism out as He did the
cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Read Ezekial 38 and 39.
