WALKUP SEES LITTLE CHANGE IN FARM PICTURE Agriculture in the 1970’s will be in much the same posi tion it was in during the dec ade of the 60’s, says an out look and market analysis spec ialist with the Cooperative Extension Service. This is true even with the predicted changes through the next decade, adds Thomas B. Walkup, University of Georgia. Os course, he continues, we can expect new innovations and tech nology to continue increas ing efficiency and production. “But the producer will con tinue to be in his familiar po sition of facing rising produc tion cost without much in crease in prices.” Walkup says the thought of farmers being elevated from this position through major changes in policy, price struc ture and marketing system see.ms fairly remote. “It would be incorrect to predict that the farmer will emerge from price cost pessures into a situation of great prosperity in the next decade. “However,” he adds, “ as we progress as a nation the farm producer will benefit al so. but to a lesser extent than other sectors of our economy.” The Extension outlook and market analysis specialist adds, however, that “changes could be quite significant in 1971.” Deadline for News In This Newspaper Is 10 A.

Fungus Disease Os Pine Needles Noted in Area Brunswick, Ga. . . . Many pine trees, throughout South Georgia, have been observed recently with dying needles. Area Forester H. L. Neal Jr., Georgia Forestry Commission, Brunswick, stated that this condition is being primarily caused by several fungus dis eases of the pine needles. This condition or “needle cast,” Neal added, is .most se vere on slash pine. Loblolly, longleaf, pond and shortleaf pines are also affected by the fungi. The Area forester pointed out that needlecast gives a tree a scorched appearance. The infected needles turn brown from the tip toward the base and frequently shed or break off. Because of the poor appearance of infected trees, a close examination should be made before remov ing “dying” trees. Neal emphasized that the damage from needlecast sel dom, if ever, results in tree mortality. The tree will later outgrow the condition with the production of new needles. No control measures are recom mended, Neal added. For assistance with Fores try problems, contact your lo- I cal county forestry unit for I the services of a management : forester. Free!
