Newspaper Page TextMuch woodland is over stocked — Improved fire pro tection has resulted in many thousands of acres of our cut over timberland being re stocked with 2,000 to 5,000 or more pine saplings per acre, whereas, 600 to 800 well dis tributed seedlings provide a fully stocked stand. Many of these overly dense stands stagnate and practical ly stop growth before a few scattered saplings finally a chieve dominance and may require 25, 30 or more years to reach minimum merchan table pulpwood size. A prop erly spaced stand should be ready for the first pulpwood thinninc on most sites within 15 years. The AC 13 Program in Geor gia provides cost sharing to landown~rs at the rate of $lO per acre or not to exceed 70 per cent of the cost of making pre-comm^rcial thinnings in stands such as described a bove. There may be similar provisions in other states, or they may have need to consi der the problem in the future. Advance approval by the County ASC Committee is re quired if cost sharing is to be claimed. Pre-commercial thinning was done by many close ob serving landowners years ago during the “off” winter months but very little has been done in recent years. This job re quires careful planning for ootimum results. Small re nroduction may be thinned by tractor and cross-disking with seme clean up by hand tools, or it may be necessary to use an axe or machete all the way. In this case, it. would be ad visable to mark the best crop NAHUNTA, VARIETY STORE COMPLETE LINE OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND CHILDREN'S WEAR rs f J I .‘/rnjK in ONE OF THESE Fer The Best Deal In G.M.C's Visit s. & s.

L. NEAL, JR. AREA FORESTER AND E. J. RHCDEN COUNTY RANGER trees to be retained in rows 10 to 12 feet apart and not clos er together in the row than six feet, depending on size — the larger the wider. H. L. Neal, Jr., Area Fores try Commission, urges that landowners get a GFC forest er’s advice before attempting this type of work because some stands may already be stagnated to the point that they will not respond in growth to release thinning. These Foresters generally have a number of requests for advice, so contact them as earlv as possible to get help on the marking and be ready to thin during the lay-by sea son. He pointed out further that research has determined that for a given diameter, each 10 per cent rise in the per cent of green crown to total height will result in an average in crease of 35 barrels of gum per crop, of 3- 5 barrels per thousand trees each year. This leads to the recommen dation that landowners with densely stocked stands should make one or more good selec tive pulpwood thinnings pro perly marked in advance of cutting before attempting to cup timber for Naval Stores. This will give the remaining trees room to develop ample crowns needed to “manufac ture” gum. LEAVES t* vou are having problems with your pecan tree leaves, contact your county Exten sion agent.

EXTENSION OFFICE Buying Quality Eggs By Virginia N. Raulerson Co. Extension Home Economist Homemakers can be sure of buying quality eggs since Georgia laws which are en forced say that egg cartons must be labeled with the grade, the size and the date. The grade means the inter ior quality of the egg along with the uniform shell and shape of the egg. The grades are AA, A, B, and C — A is the highest quality that local stores carry. The sizes are: extra large, large, medium, small and pee wee. The size is the weight and grade is the quality. But the quality of the egg for the purpose it is to be used. The grade A egg has a thicker white and a yolk that has a better shape which will hold up for frying and stay in the center for hard cooked. Many local producers sell cracked eggs at a reduced rate. The main concern in using cracked eggs is to be sure that these eggs are cook ed well done. Salmoneli bac teria like eggs and enter the egg through cracks. To pre vent this bacteria from being harmful to people, it must be killed through heat-cooking well done prevents this. The outside color of the egg has nothing to do with the in terior quality. Homemakers, keep the quality of the egg you buy — refrigerate im mediately, keep strong odors. Refrigeration prevents the white from being runny, and the yolk from flattening. Strong odors like onions and cabbage will penetrate through the shell and cause an off . flavor to the egg. Eggs are nature’s prepack- I aged masterpiece of nutri tion.

Loyd County Agent Egg quality is a lively topic of conversation right now be tween egg processors and egg producers. This is nearly al ways the case when eggs are in ample supply, as they are now. When any commodity is in large supply, the customer becomes more critical of quality. The poultryman’s best de fense against complaints is to make sure he is doing every thing possible to maintain egg quality. Jerry Cox, our Extension poultry marketing specialist, says it doesn’t cost a lot of money to do this. “It just takes a little extra time and a great deal of pride in the product you are produc ing,” he adds. Here are a few of the things Georgia’s better poultrymen , are doing to provide a quali j ty product: First, they are producing clean eggs. They are gathering eggs four times daily (this is 1 particularly important during ‘ warm weather) and if possi- I ble, are washing them immed iately after gathering. They are using a recommended de- J tergent sanitizer, and are I changing the water bath fre | quently — how often depends I on the cleanliness of the eggs. ■ । The eggs are washed at a ; temperature of 110 to 120 de ’ grees and then cooled before ; j oacking. Eggs are Stored in ] the cooler room at tempera , | tures between 45 and 55 de -1 \ grees, with a relative humidi- J ty of 75 to 80 percent. 1 The egg producer does many j other things to see that his I product is attractive, fresh .' and of high quality. These are I just a few of the reasons why 11 eggs are better than ever. ’ Want ads are inexpen '; sive and bring excellent । results. PRESIDENT NIXON LAUDS FARM PRODUCTIVITY RECORD President Nixon recently praised American farmers for providing this country’s peo ple the best food in the world at a lower percentage of fam ily income than is provided for any other couuntry in the world. For this, he said, the Nation owes American agri culture a very great debt. He cited the fact that the a rea of the American economy that has had the greatest growth in productivity is A merican agriculture, and said this has not been adequately reflected in agricultural in come. This report on the President singling out American agri culture for high praise was supplied by Ross P. Bowen, Chairman of the Georgia Ag ricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Commit tee. Bowen said, “I believe not only farmers but others as well will be particularly in- terested in these comments by ) the President. We who help administer farm programs for i the U. S. Department of Agri culture have often reminded our urban friends that Amer- 1 icans are the best fed people in the world at the lowest real ; cost because of the efficiency of American agriculture. It ( is heartening to have the j President state this and other basic facts about agriculture.” j In his remarks, President Nixon referred to the new j Commission on Productivity, ■ with a membership of top leaders representing Ameri can industry, labor, the aca demic community, and agri culture, saying that “A very significant point was made, I not only in the first meeting, j but in the second and third, j On every occasion, it was this: That that area of the Ameri-’ can economy that has had the । greatest growth in productivi- j ty and that has the highest, productivity per man hour, any way you want to rate it,' is American agriculture.” Upon hearing this fact, the President said he checked further and found that “we are the best fed people, but at the lowest cost, the lowest per centage of our income of any ; country in the world. And for that, we are most grateful.” This fact, he said, “Means, that the Nation owes Ameri can agriculture a very great debt, which perhaps has not Heron Girls Defeat Broxton, Boys Lose Sheila Bennett scored first for the Brantley girls as action began last Friday night for the Herons. Carol Addy and Sissy Smith added 4 points each in the first quarter build up a first quarter lead of 10-7. Sissy Smith continued the action by scoring 8 more points before being injured in the second quarter and having to leave the game. The Heron girls had a 21-14 lead at half time. Carol Addy took up where Sissy left off by hitting the basket for 7 points in the third quarter, and pushing the Heron lead to 36-19. The four th quarter saw the Heron sophomores and freshmen get into the action as the Heron girls rolled to a 45-27 victory. Carol Addy had 13 points, Sissy Smith 12.

Others playing includ ed Donna Bell, Debbie Altman, Lou Ann Lee, Diane Shuman, Debra Addy, and Allison Chambless. Evelyn Johnson was high scorer for Broxton with 12 points. Broxton took the opening lead in the night -cap and the Heron boys lead by Benjie Walker, tried to stay in the game but the Horons couldn’t find the range as they fell be hind 15-9 in the first quarter. The second quarter was even worse as the Herons only managed to score 7 points to 29 points scored by Broxton The Heron boys did finally find the range in the third quarter and managed to out score Broxton 20-18 in this quarter. It was too little to< late as the Broxton boys man aged to roll over the Heror bovs by the score of 84-54. Benjie lead the scoring witl 22 noints, and Philip Purdon had 14 points.

I think the farmer deserves a fair share of the Nation’s increasing wealth and its increasing pro ductivity, due to the fact that American agriculture is so productive.” At the same time, Mr. Nix on said, “We have problems of hunger in this country, and there are problems of hunger in all countries, rich and poor, around the world. “But, the problems of hun ger in this country are, in terms of magnitude, nothing compared to what the prob lems are in countries that simply do not have the enor mous productivity that we have. “And so, as we look around the world and as we think of the future of the world and what is going to happen, we realize how much American agriculture can contribute.” The President said he refer red not only to export markets but to “the knowledge that !we .are able to share with ' other people which may make a difference in these next 10, I 15, 25 years, a difference as to whether millions of people [ all over the world will grow up without enough to eat at all, or whether they may have j a better chance than they would otherwise have to sur vive.” In the course of his re । marks President Nixon had I high praise for Secretary of । Agriculture Clifford M. Har din, saying that “when I ap , pointed him, I wanted a man । who would speak for the far [ mers and for American agri , culture to the White House rather than the other way a ' round. He has done that. Be j neath that very pleasant and s disarming exterior of his is a very strong and persuasive and determined mind. And in these matters that come be fore us and the high deci : sions that have to be made at the White House with the leg islative leaders, in the Cabi net. on the budget and other matters, I can assure you that agriculture has a very strong advocate.” BY GENE WILEY Glynn Reporter Office Damaged By Fire Bomb Brunswick — Fire caused by what investigators termed a “molotov cocktail” resulted in extensive damages to the building housing a weekly ' newspaper here. The State Fire Marshall’s of fice said the ground floor of the building housing the Glynn Reporter was gutted by flames early yesterday morning. Equipment and rec , ords on the ground floor were destroyed in the blaze, accor j ding to the report. I But Editor-Publisher Bill ■ Williams said .most of the e i equipment used in pub- I lishing the paper was on the i second floor and was not bad | ly damaged. “If they wanted to put us out of business, they did not succeed,” Mr. Williams told a Brunswick newsman and the publisher । said “we will be on the streets ।as usual at the regular time this week.” The investigator for the state fire marshall said it ■ “was definitely a fire bomb ing.” He reported finding one >; molotov cocktail unexploded. • It consisted of a quart bottle ’ containing a liquid believed I, to be gasoline and having a ■' cloth wick, he said. 5■ Three other fire bombs > were believed to have struck - the porch and rear wall of i the building, setting off he j fire about 3 a. m. yesterday. 11 Authorities said Mr. Willi i ams had reportedly received ? three threatening telephone y calls during the past month. The newspaper building was s located near the downtown a e rea of Brunswick at 1608 U y nion St. 1.1 The staff began .moving in e to another building yesterday, s. investigators said. Horticulturists with the Uni versity of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service say that sticky substance on pecan leaves is honeydew. It is se creted by three species of yel low aphids.

Visitors Canter Slated For Hatch Nuc’ear Plant Georgia Power Company has begun construction of a visitors information center at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant being built near Baxley in southeast Georgia. I Completion of the center is scheduled for April. 1971. C. M. Wallace, Jr., power company executive vice presi dent, said the structure will be j on a knoll overlooking the plant ‘site. It will house audience । participation exhibits and ani ' mated presentations to explain the use of nuclear energy as a ! power source and tell of Georgia Power’s environmental protec jtion programs. A color film produced by noted Atlanta writer-director Paul Darcy Boles will be a special at traction. Tentatively titled “Al i tamaha Diary.” the film will tell the story of the nuclear plant and its relationship to the en vironment, particularly the ad jacent Altamaha River. Altamaha River Several of the exhibits will feature the Altamaha and its role in Georgia’s neatly 250- year history. "'The center will combine en tertainment with education. Mr. Wallace said. “This, plus the fact there is already a tremend ous interest in the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, should at tract thousands of visitors each year.” Brantley County Band Boosters Club To Meet There will be a meeting of the Brantley County Band Boosters Club on Thursday, February 4, at 7:30 p. m. in the High School Band room.
