Dwight Knight I doubt many of us would spend money and time prepar ing land for a crop and forget to add lime and fertilizer, yet many pond owners are doing exactly that. Old and new pond owners should have their ponds check ed by a qualified Biologist to determine if it should be limed and to help them set up a good fertilization pro gram for their pond. A great majority of the soils in Brant ley county are highly acid and require from one to two tons of agricultural limestone per surface acre. Fertilization of farm ponds in South Georgia should begin in March or when the pond water begins to warm up. A good mineral fertilizer such as 8-8-2 or equivalent may be used. The initial application of fertilizer should begin with 100-200 pounds per surface acre. Wait about one week and, if your pond hasn’t ac quired the characteristic green or brown color, apply another smaller application of fertil izer until this color has been established. Maintain this co lor until cold weather sets in. High fertility of pond wa ters accomplishes three de sirable objectives: (1) In creases fish production and makes it possible to catch more and larger fish, (2) makes possible one standard rate of stocking fish, (3) pre vents the growth of submerged waterweeds. New pond owners need to BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People. Personals Mr. and Mrs. Bennie Harris and son, Dwain Lewis attend ed graduating exercises at Clinton Presbyterian College, Clinton, S. C. on Sunday where their son, Kenneth N.

Wendell Lee of New Or leans visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Lee on Satur day of last week. He was ac companied by Dale Brown and his mother. Children of Mr. and Mrs. Avery Strickland home for Mother’s Day were Dr. and Mrs Wade Strickland and son' and daughter of Augusta; Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Hinesley, At hens; Mr. and Mrs. Jackie Tumlin, Madison, Ga. and Miss Arlene Strickland of St. Si mons Island. Guests of Mr. and Mrs. N W. Hendrix on Sunday were a sister, Mrs. T. D. Clark of Brunswick, her mother, Mrs. Hattie B. Kelly, Atkinson and Mr .and Mrs. Marvin Kel ly and Joan of Waynesville and her children who live near by. Sammy Middleton who has recently had published a rec ord album by him and his Moonglow orchestra is a Brantley county boy. He grad uated from Nahunta High School. His mother is Mrs. Maggie Middleton of Hortense Route 1. He has made his home on St. Simons Island, for a number of years where he has been employed at the Brunswick radio station'. Dubberly and Ham Elected Area Officers Agriculture Teachers Jimmy Dubberly, Vocation al Agriculture teacher at Na hunta High School was elect ed Agriculture Advisor for Southeast Georgia, counties of Brantley, Pierce, Long, Ap pling, Wayne, Glynn and Ba con. Huey Ham, Vocational Ag riculture teacher at Hoboken, was elected to serve as sec retary. These teachers were elected Wednesday at the section meeting of Agriculture Teach ers in Ludowici. They will serve for a two year term. stock their ponds correctly with the right kinds of fish if they are to expect good fish ing quickly and continuously. Some pond owners like to bring home speckle perch (Crappie), Warmouth, Jack and Catfish from the river and add to their ponds. Ex periments at the Auburn Un iversity Fisheries School, show no successful stocking recom mendations on adding fish of these species to a small farm pond. These fish can ruin a good pond in a few short years. The use of the Golden Shiner as live bait in farm ponds is not recommended. This fish will reproduce in fantastic numbers if a pan should happen to get off the hook and will compete with your bass and bluegill bream for food. The Baltimore min now, St. Louis minnow or Missouri minnow are accept able live baits for farm ponds. A good fish pond is like a well managed garden. You must harvest your returns. Fishing a pond is one of the most important practices in good pond management. After your pond has established it self, usually after the second year, it will contain its limit of fish measured in pounds. No more weight can be grown unless you remove fish from your pond. Production will eonal your harvest. If you desire more informa tion on fish nond culture, con sult your soil conservation- dis trict supervisor or your soil conservation technician.

Questions About Eggs Answered For Shoppers Eggs are in plentiful supply this month and retailing at attractive prices, USDA’s Con sumer and Marketing Service reminds southeastern' home makers. This is a good time to enjoy eggs often, and prepared in a variety of ways. Consumers frequently ask questions about eggs. These questions usually arise because of misunderstandings about egg quality or nutritive value. However, most of these ques tions can be answered readily. WHY DO SOME EGGS HAVE CLOUDY WHITES? Cloudy or milky whites are noticeable in freshly laid eggs or eggs which have been oil treated while fresh. The cloudiness indicates that the carbon dioxide naturally ’pre sent in fresh eggs has not yet escaped as a gas through the shell. As this gas escapes, the white becomes cleaner. Fresh eggs are sometimes treated with an odorless, tasteless m/ieral oil to help maintain 1 freshness. This process seals many of the shell pores and slows down the loss of carbon dioxide. ARE EGGS GETTING SMALLER: Consumers some times observe that today’s broken-out eggs seem to be small. They point out that eggs do not cover as large an' area in the frying pan as they once did. These consumers are right. Eggs are not covering as .much area as they once did, but this does not mean that they weigh less. A broken-out high quality egg covers a small area. The thick white is large in amount and stands high and firm a round the yolk. As the egg is stored, the amount of thick white decreases and the egg tends to spread and cover more surface. Egg sizes (large, medium, small) have not changed. Weight classifications have been the same since 1930. We are marketing more large, ex tra-large and jumbo size eggs these days. WHY ARE SOME HARD COOKED EGGS DIFFICULT TO PEEL? Frequently, shells do not peels easily from hard cooked eggs. This condition is related to the freshness of eggs. As eggs are stored, they lose carbon dioxide and be come easier to peel when hard-cooked. The consumer should understand that eggs which will not peel easily when hard-cooked are freshly laid and generally of high quality. Eggs that have been stored for several days will usually peel easily. WHAT ARE THE STRINGY WHITE PIECES IN EGG WHITE? These are perfectly normal components of eggs — the chalazas. The chalaza is the thick, white rope-like ma terial which appears on oppo site sides of the yolk during the formation of the egg. They anchor the yolk in the thick white. Presence of prominent chalazas indicate high quality eggs. As eggs become poorer in quality, the chalazas tend to disappear. However, eggs may have small chalazas and still be of high quality. Some users, mistakenly thinking that chalazas are evi dence of fertile eggs, very di ligently pick them out. This is not necessary, as the chala zas are normal, wholesome parts of the egg white.

The small rectangular green posts are being erected mainly for purposes of identifying each mile of the system, and for administrative reasons. The number will be a real help in determining the lo cation of accidents acurately, and spotting road flaws easily for maintenance crews, for example. Miles are numbered in each county starting in the south and west and going up toward the north and east. The mile number is shown in large numerals at the top of the sign. The smaller number at the bottom of the sign is the state route number of the highway. If two or more state routes are located along the same road, then the mileage shown is that of the lowest route number. The posts are the same type as those used on the Interstate System, but the Interstate miles are numbered continu ously from one state line to another. Highway engineers say the signs can be most useful to the general public if motorists will not spend time trying to figure out the system used for the numbering, but simply use whatever number is on the post nearest the point they are trying to identify.

Weekly Meditation By Rev. J. O. Bramblett, Pastor ■ Blackshear Church of God The Making of Difficult Decisions TEXT ROMANS 12:2: “And be not conformed to the world; but be ye trans formed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and accept able, and perfect, will of God.” Decision determines destiny. None of us can escape life’s inevitable problems which demand a personal answer. The question is, “How do we make a difficult decision?” “How can we know the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God?” Paul’s answer is this: “Be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by re newing of your mind.” In other words, we are to seek “the mind of Christ” in all such matters, that we may both know and do the will of God. Our decisions must be based on what is right, not who is right. Several ways by which SUBSCRIPTION PRICE AND TAX Inside county $2.58 Outside county, in state $4.12 Outside state $4.00 „ The conservation oasis in the center of swamp betweeen Nahurita and Hoboken is not only being rendered fit but ideal for Brantley County children to play and partici pate in activities which have been denied them through the lack of broad Curriculum and sporting activities heretofore found only in the larger city schools. Several months ago, the Brantley County School Board applied to the Satilla River Soil Conservation District for assistance in planning and ap plying the necessary conserva tion measures to make the new school site useable for the various play ground and sport ing activities such as soft ball, baseball, football, tennis, track and field events. Sites were selected for each of these activities after survey ing the soil capabilities and planning the needed conserva tion measures to make selected areas useable for their purpose. A perimeter ditch was sur veyed, staked and constructed along the southern and wes tern boundry of the property. The earth removed from the 1.9 acre oxidation pond was used to fill in the low areas of the campus. A football field and stand ard high school track were designed and laid 6ut. Earth front the oxidation pond was used in the tra?k and football field area to bring it up to grade. This week some 1768 feet of 6-inch hollow tile was laid wider the proposed football field and track to insure pro per drainage of this area. The football fjeld is to be graded into a turtle back playing area which is to be established to *Hft 57 Bermuda Grass after grading, shaping, liming, and fertilizing. Other playground areas will also be planted to this grass. The campus in front of the new school plant will be es tablished to the Cadillac of lawn grasses Emerald Zoysia. The woodland area adjacent to the school and between the school plant and the school principal home will be planted to centerpede grass seed and beautified with native plant ing of wild shrubs. The planning and applica tion of these conservation and beautification measures should make the new Brantley Coun ty High School campus a thing of beauty for the envy of every school system in south Georgia. Bethlehem Cemetery Cleaning Next Thursday The Bethlehem Cemetery will be cleared off Tuesday, May 23, it is announced by T. V. Rhoden. Everyone interest ed in the Bethlehem Cemetery is requested to be present ear ly Tuesday to help clean off the burial grounds. we may gain guidance and divine help in making these difficult decisions are: 1. God guides us through conscience. 2. Reason-, or cominbn sense. 3. Prayer. 4. Revelation of the Holy Scripture. 5. God directs us through circumstances or providences. 6 Christian friends, who have our best interests at heart. 7. Being guided by the Holy Spirit. The Quakers and other de vout Christians interpret this work of the Holy Spirit as “The Inner Light,” “The still small voice within.” The voice differs from conscience in that it decides between right and wrong, whereas the Inner Voice decides between the good and the best. Once a decision has been reached, abide by it. There is no greater source of misery than constant doubt of a de cision-. Let us trust God to see us through when the decision has been made.
