'Chicken State'
A Good Name
For Georgia
It’s doubtful anyone will
ever get up nerve enough to
suggest naming Georgia “The
Chicken State.” Not if he
thinks about the un
complimentary meaning at
tached to the word “chicken.”
Anyway, Georgia probably has
been “The Peach State” too
long to think about changing
now.
However, the name “Chick
en State” —or “Poultry
State,’” perhaps — would be
very appropriate.
Georgia has led the nation in
broiler production for 17 con
secutive years. Last year
“Peach State” producers grew
out 466,765,000 broilers.
John Earl Strickland to Receive
FFA Star District Farmer Award
F. F. A.’s coveted Star Dis
trict Farmer Award is pre
sented this year to a Future
Farmer from the Patterson
Chapter.
John Earl Strickland, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Strickland
of Mershon, was selected for
the top award in the Second
Vocational District which in
cludes the southeastern fourth
of Georgia. On Oct. 26, the
State Star Farmer will be
named from the' four selected
by the state judges. This is
the highest level of FFA mem
bership in the state.
John Earl lives on a large
farm in Mershon. He is part
of a family of five.
The Patterson Future Farm
er has performed outstanding
work with his crops and live
stock. He has been a member
of the 100 Bushel Corn Club
for five years and last year
produced 206 bushels of corn
And that’s a lot of chicken
— enough, in fact, to bring
cash farm receipts of $l9O,
921,000. Broilers generated
more farm income in 1967 than
any other agricultural com
modity.
Milton Y. Dendy, Exten
sion poultry scientist at the
University of Georgia, says
$190.9 .million is a sizeable
contribution to the state’s
overall economy, in itself. But
when the agribusiness invol
ved in growing and processing
466,765,000 broilers is figur
ed in, then the poultry indus
try really takes on dollars-and
cents significance.
For example, Georgia broi
lers consumed 1,800,000 tons
of feed last year. Mr. Dendy
says about 60 percent of this
was corn and about 25 per
cent was soybean meal. What
it amounted to was 37,749,956
bushels of corn and 19,996,334
bushels of soybeans.
Mr. Dendy converted this
to acres, considered last year’s
average yields (58 bushels of
corn and 24 bushels of soy
beans) and announced that
Georgia broilers ate 650,861
acres of corn and 833,181 a
cres of soybeans in 1967.
That’s an area of 1,494,042
acres — larger than the poul
try producing counties of Hall,
Jackson, Lumpkin, Forsyth,
Dawson, Habersham, White
and Banks combined.
on one acre; this was the sec
ond highest production in the
state. He also works with to
bacco, cotton, pasture and
beef cattle.
John Earl is no amateur in
the show ring and represents
his chapter in many local and
state shows. His host of rib
bons and trophies include one
for the Grand Champion at the
Pierce County Quality Steer
Show and two from the Oke
fenokee Fair.
John Earl has served as Sen
tinel of his chapter, an officer
of the senior class and played
varsity football for four
years.
Other members of the chap
ter receiving the Georgia
Planter Degree this year are:
Herbie Byrd, David Owen
Ritch and Kee Hall.
David Smith,
Reporter.
Blackshear Masonic
Lodge to Celebrate
100th Anniversary
DON'T SHOOT
HAWKS, OWLS
As hunting season rolls a
round, the State Game and
Fish Commission reminded
hunters that it is illegal to
shoot or kill hawks, owls and
similar birds.
Killing of these birds is det
rimental to the overall wild
life community, the Commis
sion pointed out. Hawks and
owls eat primarily rats, mice,
and other pests. Although they
do eat a very small amount
of game birds and animals,
those that fall prey to hawks
and owls are the weak of the
species, because of disease and
lack of food. Removal of the
weakened game species this
way is a part of nature’s plan,
to assure sustaining of the
strong of the species.
The only birds which are
not protected by state law
are crows, blackbirds, starl
ings, sparrows and buzzards.
Game birds, of course, may
be taken; but only during open
seasons.
Killing of hawks, owls, or
any other protected birds can
result in arrest and a fine or
imprisonment. The Game and
Fish Commission’s wildlife
rangers enforce laws protect
ing these birds.
BULB PLANTING
Early fall is the time to
prepare for planting spring
flowering bulbs, says Troy
Keeble, horticulturist with the
University of Georgia Coop
erative Extension Service.
Prepare the entire soil area
rather than just the individual
holes for the bulbs. A sunny,
slightly sloped area is best.

Putting-you-firsts:
Headlight washers
You push the windshield
washer knob and hold it, and your
headlights come clean.
Fluid is diverted to two jet
nozzles at each light lens. (Outer
lights only on duals.)
The spray removes up to
80% of accumulated dirt.
The feature is standard on
1969 Corvettes. It comes with the
hidden headlights available on
Camaro, Caprice and Kingswood
Estate Wagons. It is available on
all other models except Corvair.
In a moment your rear win
dow will self-defrost.
Because we’ve built onto it
a network of tiny ceramic strips
capable of heating the entire sur
face.
Fog and frost disappear
quickly and quietly. You just flick
a switch.
The heated rear window is
available on the 1969 Caprice
Coupe and Impala Custom Coupe.
Pushbutton tire chains 1
You press a button on the
instrument panel and the rear
tires get a shot of “liquid tire
chain ”

master of the Grand Lodge of
Georgia, who will be introduc
ed by Daniel W. Locklin of

LIME TYPES
Two major types of agricul
tural limestone are sold in
Georgia, according to P. J.
Bergeaux, agronomist with the
University of Georgia Cooper
ative Extension Service. They
are calcitic and dolomitic. The
difference between the two is
the magnesium content. Dolo
mitic has more of it.

(A quick tour of some of the thoughtful new features the 1969 Chevrolets
offer that other cars in Chevrolet’s field don’t.)
Heated glass
You spin your wheels once,
wait a moment, and you’re off—
with traction you wouldn’t be
lieve possible on slick ice, or
packed snow.
Available on all 1969 big
Chevrolets.
Steering wheel lock
When you own a car as de
sirable as the 1969 Chevrolet,
you don’t take chances.
When you leave it, you lock it.
Not just the doors.
You lock the ignition, steer
ing wheel and transmission lever,
too.
Our new lock on the steering
column takes care of all that.
Standard on all 1969 Chev
rolets, Chevelles, Chevy Novas,
Camaros and Corvettes.
Sorry, car thieves.
Power steering plus
The 1969 Caprice, Impala
and Camaro are available with a
new type of power
steering.
Variable-ratio
power steering.
What it
does is give
you faster
steering with
fewer turns of
the wheel.
This could be
just another emblem.
But the man behind this emblem
makes it something special.
A Certified Electric Dealer is a man who cares
about your comfort. And as a specialist in home
heating and cooling, he’s qualified to do some
thing about it.
When you plan to have an electric heating or
cooling system installed, call Georgia Power
Company. We’ll recommend the right Dealer for
the job. A Dealer who’s earned our certification.
He’ll accept full responsibility for the in
stallation. This includes everything from wiring
and insulation to equipment.
And he won’t forget you when the installa
tion is complete. Because his success depends
on your continued satisfaction.
Look for the Certified Electric Dealer emblem.
There’s a good man standing behind it.
BIORBIA PBWCR BBMPAIUY
Variable-ratio power steering
is particularly helpful in short,
full turns.
And parking becomes un
believably easy. You’ll see.
Walk-in wagons
The tailgate swings open like
a door on most of our 1969 station
wagons.
Which in itself is no big deal.
But wait, there’s more.
We’ve built a concealed step
into the rear bumper.
You simply step up, over,
and in.
(The way we build our
wagons, you can do it without
bumping your head, and without
acrobatics.)
Walk into a wagon soon at
your Chevrolet dealer’s.
