Eameless electric heat pump
When the weather’s tender enough for a pale peach
bloom, it’s probably gentle enough for you. And that’s
the weather you can live in, all year, with an electric
heat pump.
In winter’s cold, the heat pump brings bright warmth.
In summer's heat, it brings refreshing cool air.
Just set the the-mostat. Automatically, the heat pump
J v-os your home at that temperature. Morning or eve
i ■. hot weather or cold. If the humidity's high, the heat
pump brings it down. Shuts out most dust and pollen, too.
You can even forget maintenance. We have an eco
nom cal service pan that takes care of all parts and
all labor for 10 years.
When the other seasons seem to linger long, don’t
wi~h the days away till peach-blossom time. Make it
happen. With an electric heat pump.

. . . North and South, the
days grow shorter and sum
mer’s warmth yields to au
tum’s cool comfort. The
trees go from luxurious green
to fall’s colorful splendor.
It requires no vivid imagi
nation to picture Mother Na
ture going about on autum
days with a liberal supply of
paint, with which she colors
the leaves of the trees and
other plants and thereby pro
duces the riot of red, purple,
orange and yellow found in
the woods.
Many people believe that
Jack Frost is responsible for
the color change, but he is
not. Some leaves begin to turn
before there is a frost. The
Indians believe that it was be
cause the celestial hunters had
slain the Great Bear his
blood dripping on the forests
changed many trees to red.
Others were turned to yellow
by the fat spattered out of
the kettle as the hunters cook
ed the meat. In reality, how
ever, change in coloring is the
result of chemical processes
which take place in the tree
as the season changes from
summer to winter.
During the summer the
leaves have served as factories
where most of the foods nec
cessary for the tree’s growth
are manufactured. This food
process takes place in the leaf
in numerous cells containing
'chlorophyll, which gives the
leaf its green color. In the fall
the cool weather causes a
slowing down of the vital pro
cesses, and the chlorophy is
broken up into the various
substances of which it is com
posed. This leaves the cell cav
ities with crystals and oil
globules which present a yel
low coloring. When there is
a great amount of sugar left

in the leaves, the red and pur
ple coloring is predominant.
I As the fall colors appear,
other changes are taking place.
At the point where the stem of
: the leaf is attached to the
! tree, a special layer of cells
develops and gradually serves
the tissues that support the
leaf. At the same time Nature
heals the cut, so that when
the leaf is finally blown off
। by the wind or falls from its
weight, the place where it
| grew on the twig is marked
by a scar.
Through fallen leaves, Na
ture has provided for a fer
tile forest floor. These leaves
contain valuable elements, par
ticullarly calcium and potas
sium, which were originally
part of the soil. Decomposition
of the leaves enriches the top
layers of the soil by returning
part of the elements borrowed
by the tree, and at the same
time provide for an accumula
tion of water absorbing humus.
But if fires are allowed to
run through the forest and
the leaves are burned valu
able fertilizing elements are
changed into oxides by the
heat and may leach out of the
| soil. This causes the soil to
lose their fertility and their
. ability to absorb and hold
J moisture, even though no ap
parent damage is done to the
tree.
Trees go from luxurious
green into fall’s colorful splen
dor. As you travel at this time
of the year, you’ll find an
unsurpassed beauty and splen
dor as Autum is a patchwork
quilt of colors linked together
with the green pines.

AN INDOOR-OUTDOOR SEASON
IN THE SOUTH!
Winter wears many faces in the South.
Consider skiing on firm-packed snow in
the mountains of Tennessee.. tracking
winter game through the woodlands of
Alabama and South Carolina...golf at
famed coastal resorts in Georgia and
Mississippi...fishing, boating and water
skiing in the gentle clime of Florida. And,
anywhere and everywhere in the satisfy
ing South, the contentment of compan
ionship beside a crackling fire.
It’s a pleasant scene. And your friends
in the brewing industry are a part of it all
contributing to the economy through
local payrolls, local purchases and local
taxes... supporting local law enforcement
...encouraging everyone to “Keep
America Beautiful" in every season.

ANIMAL HEALTH

In our travels over the state
last week, it was brought to
our attention that we are be
ginning to slip back into our
old ways of dumping dead
chickens in woods and other
areas instead of disposing of
them properly. This may be
due to an increased loss of
birds to leukosis or other dis
eases. Or it may be because
many of the disposal pits are
now ten years old and full, or
in need of repair.
I wonder how many remem
ber the epidemic of newcastle
disease that occurred back in
late 1959 and ’6O? Birds died
by the thousands and were
dumped in gullies, woods or
roadsides almost anywhere.
I recall many growers can
plaining that their dog had
dragged dead birds up in the
yard or near their own poultry
houses. Shortly afterward their
birds became infected with
newcastle disease. It seemed
the newcastle virus was just in
the air. Os course, we contri
buted greatly to the problem
by improperly disposing of the
birds that died with the dis
ease.
About this time, interest be
came great in disposing of
dead birds properly. Legisla
tion was passed requiring
poultry farm owners to pro
vide adequate facilities for
dead bird disposal. In fact,
each disposal facility on the
poultry farms had. to be in
spected by representatives of
the State Department of Agri
culture. Upon approval, the
farm was given a number.
This number had to be availa
ble before chickens could be
sold or processed.
While the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture has the
responsibility for inspecting
and enforcing regulations con
cerning dead bird disposal, I
think it is a sad commentary
on the industry to have to be
forced to do something that
does so much good for the in
dustry in the first place. I
rather suspect that it is just
human nature to let things
slide. Then when we do have a
problem, where several birds
die and we don’t have adequate
facilities, we just take the easy
way out without too much re
gard for what this could do
to our neighbors or the indus
try itself.
I am sure no one wants an
other epidemic to occur as it
did in 1960, One of the easiest
ways to prevent this reoccur
ence is proper disposal of any
bird that dies—regardless of
the cause. I would like to
suggest that poultry service
men — whether for breeder
flocks or broilers—make it a
personal project to double
check each farm for which
they are responsible and make
sure adequate facilities are
available and in good repair.
Ten years is a long time for
any hole in the ground to
last. Perhaps only a minor re
pair will place some pits in
first class shape again. On
other farms, perhaps new pits
must be dug to provide the
necessary facility.
I personally hate to be
forced to do anything. Per
haps if we “reason together”
with the owners of the farms
whose facilities are not ade
quate, most will be corrected
immediately. Os course, if
enforcement becomes neces
sary, this is the responsibility
of the Georgia Department of
Agriculture.
POLLUTION
Pollution is not a recent
problem. Man has always been
bothered by pollution. You
know even the most beautiful
and colorful sunset is caused
by pollution. Today pollution
is more than a bother. Mem
bers of the 4-H Club care a
bout the effects of pollution.
They care enough to do some
thing about it. They need
your help. Together we can
win the battle.
