Tobacco Growers
Adjust to Meet
Market Demands
Georgia tobacco growers,
who are said to have begun the
1968 production year with a
feeling of confusion and frus
tration, were praised today by
Charles Roland, an agrono
mist of the University of Geor-.
gia Cooperative Extension Ser
vice, for adjusting their pro
duction procedures so quickly
to meet changes in market
demand.
“Never before,” he said,
“had growers been asked to
change their production prac
tices so quickly.” Because of
their efforts, he added, the
1968 Georgia tobacco crop will
be valued at around $75 mil
lion.
Buying trends for the past
three years point up the
adjustments Georgia farmers
had to make, Mr. Roland said.
Tobacco companies purchased
95 percent of the variegated
leaf grades available in 1965
In 1966 such purchases a
mounted to about 87 percent
but by 1967 purchases of those
grades had declined to 49 per
cent of the amount available.
Georgia tobacco growers had
to take another look at their
production practices, particu
larly in regard to fertilization,
the agronomist explained.
Tobacco fertilization, he
added, is an exacting pro
cedure. “Ten pounds too much
or ten pounds too little of ni
trogen can mean the differ
ence between success and fail
ure. Over - fertilization,” he
said, “was not nearly as evi
dent in 1968 as the year be
fore.
“The key to producing qual
ity tobacco with adequate
yields,” Mr. Roland said, “de
pends largely on the amount
and time of fertilizer uptake
by the plant. High fertilization
rates may increase yields but
delay maturity and produce
poor quality tobacco, especi
ally if moisture is deficient.
Excessive nitrogen at the time
tobacco is supposed to be rio
ening mav result in reddish,
unripe and variegated grades
not now in demand.”

CHILDREN'S DENTAL HEALTH
I’ve seen recent newspaper
articles that say our nation’s
dental health is “deplorable.”
Surely, in our healthy society
this can’t be true, can it? I
know my teeth are in better
condition than my parents’
and I’m certain my children’s
dental health will be better
than mine. Aren’t most people
more concerned about dental
health today?
While I do agree that peo
ple know more about dentis
try and dental health today
than they did, say, at the
turn of the century, I must
also agree that we still have
a long way to go to make our
nation truly dentally healthy.
The American Dental As
sociation has revealed these
startling facts about our
children’s dental health:
—By age two, about 50 per
cent of all children have some
decayed teeth. When the aver
age child enters school, he
has approximately three de
cayed teeth. And, when he
reaches the age of 16, it is
likely that he will have seven
decayed, missing or filled
teeth involving 14 tooth sur
faces.
—Studies indicate that some
50 per cent of the nation’s
children are in need of some
type of orthodontic treatment.
—lnflammation of the gums
—called gingivitis — occurs in
a major portion of the child
population. This disease, if
untreated, will lead to more
serious gum problems in a
dult years.
The greatest reason for this
poor record in children’s den
tal health is simple: about one
half of the children under 15
years of age never have rou
tine dental treatment or brush
their teeth properly, and this
number rises considerably in
rural or low income areas.
Although low income does
not play a significant part in
dental treatment, we also
know that about 40 per cent
of the children in families
with incomes of $4,000 or
more have not received dental
care. So there are other fac
tors, such as lack of motiva
tion and inadequate dental
health education, which ac
count for the poor dental
health of many children —
and adults.
The American Dental As
sociation is keenly aware of
the need for dental care for
all segments of the population,
particularly children, and it
has called for a national pro
gram of children’s dental care.
This program, when fully im
plemented, is expected even
tually to provide dental ser
vice to about 100 million chil
dren.
One of the important fea
tures of the program is that
it will use governmental funds
for the care of children whose
families cannot afford to pay
for care. This will make den
tal services available to many
children who are in desperate

need of treatment. Children
from non-indigent families
will continue to pay for their
own care, either on a personal
basis or through a payment
mechanism such as dental in
surance.
There is no doubt that den
tal care is urgently needed by
children from indigent fami
lies. Project Head Start, a fed
eral program of educational
and medical assistance to
needy pre-school children,
found that two-thirds of these
children had never been to
a dentist. And some 94 per
cent of them had decay —
many of them a good deal of
decay. Remember, these were
pre-school children.
Obviously, if a child’s den
tal health is poor, it is rea
sonable to assume that his a
dult dental health will also
be poor. In fact, his dental
problems will probably multi
ply as he grows older, and he
may lose all his teeth at a
very young age. As I noted
in an earlier article, dentures
are only substitutes for nat
ural dentition. A lifetime of
good dental health requires a
lifetime of proper dental care
—beginning in childhood.
Drought Season
Macon — Georgia’s record
drought season may cause a
severe insect problem in the
26,000,000 acres of forestlands
next year unless researchers
can head off expected infes
tations.
H. Ed Ruark, Director of the
Georgia Forest Research Coun
cil, said the state agency
charged with coordinating all
forest research would ask the
1969 General Assembly to fund
four important research pro
jects dealing with bark beetles.
“The $54,000 we propose
spending on these projects may
be the greatest bargain offer
ed to Georgia taxpayers,”
Director Ruark said this week.
“About six years ago the state
spent approximately $1,000,000
trying to control the Southern
Pine Beetle.”
Director Ruark cited the
severe drought this year as an
almost sure sign of heavy in
sect infestation during the next
12 months. “It is common
knowledge that drought condi
tions weaken the trees and
make them susceptible to at
tack by insects and diseases,”
he added.
Further, he said, landowners
generally are aware that in
sects and diseases take a
heavier toll of forests than
wildfires.
One of the projects in
disease work has already pro
duced the knowledge that the
female insect gives off an odor
attractive to the male. Scien
tists, therefore, are working to
create a synthetic sex attrac
tant that will draw the insects
to a known area where they
may be exterminated.
