Careful Choice of Farm Set-Aside Acres Advised Brantley County formers en rolled in the feed grain, wheat, or cotton programs are re minded that the acreage set aside under each program should be as productive as the acreage normally used to pro duce the crop. George Dykes, Chairman of the Brantley County Agricul tural Stabilization and Con servation (ASC) Committee, su°gested that producers check with the county ASCS office as son as possible if they have anv doubt about their propos ed set-aside acreage meeting the qualifications. Dykes pointed out that at the time producers come into the county office to certify their set-aside acreage, they must specify precisely where the set-aside acreage is locat ed. After a producer has certi fied, if a mistake is found in ' Vai: l > / ■■ * : J % I ss * liSi One of the goals in the management of our woodlands is to get the .maximum produc tion of a saleable product. At present in many of our forest stands, we are getting maxi mum production but most of it on valueless trees. Even such production is not wasted by some standards, be cause it is protecting the soil and building it up. But such arguments are fruitless from-a -‘andooist of commercial pro duction. The point in view is to take idle or unproductive land and put it into full production. An abandoned field may need only the planting of tree seed lings; whereas, a cut over pine stand may require both thee planting and hardwood control. The needs of each individual tract will be determined by its presnt stand condition two cut over pine stands may need two different approaches in The goal of reaching maxi obtaining full producution. mum production isn’t simply tied in with good forest man agement advice, but has to be considered from the stand ooint of the landowner being able to carry out the recom mendation from the cost point of view. In some cases, it may not be wise to control worth less hardwoods at the present time, due to the cost involved lor the need of doing some other improvement. It isn’t just a matter of in specting a landowner’s forest his set-aside acreage he could lose some or all of his farm program payment. “A farmer who is not quite sure whether his set-aside meets all requirements would be well advised to check with the county ASCS ofice ahead of time. Also, he can request measurement service, which, if followed, will give him a guarantee that he has enough set-aside acreage. Measure ment service is offered by the county ASCS office at cost,” Dykes said. Producers in the voluntary feed grain program for 1971 will set aside a percentage of their land to conserving uses, and will also maintain their farm’s conserving base acre age. On the rest of their acre age they may plant as much feed grain, or any other crop they choose, with the excep tion of quota crops. A VIEW THE FOREST BY H. L. NEAL, JR. AREA FORESTER AND E. J.

Letter To the Editor April 12, 1971 Dear Editor and Publisher: I’ve read a lot lately about teachers everywhere threaten ing to strike if they don’t get a salary raise. This raises a question in my mind, and that is, are the teachers more in terested in a pay raise than they are in the welfare of our children? I have children in school and certainly I want the best for them in the way of a good education. At the same time, I too, am a taxpayer, and my tax dollars, just like everyone else, help to pay our teachers. I believe that I speak for the majority of the taxpayers when I say we cannot pay any more taxes. I also believe if a tax increase of any kind is added to our already 'heavy tax load, we are going to wit ness a taxpayer’s strike. From what I have read in the newspapers concerning the pay scale of teachers, I would say that they are making a good salary. According to the scale, a good number of teach ers have received approxi mately a total $2400 index schedule pay increase in the last six years, and without a tax increase. I am not opposed to them getting a reasonable pay raise, if it can be done without raising taxes. Where do we taxpayers turn for help? It’s pretty obvious that we have to grin and endure it! I hope our Representatives and Senators will look long and hard before they cast a vote in favor of a tax of any kind. There must be a stop ping point. I might also add, another election is only a year away. Name Withheld Crosby Reunion Planned For April 25 The annual reunion of the Crosby families will be held at Laura S. Walker State Park (Ware County, Ga.) on Sunday, April 25, 1971. Picnic shelter No. 600 has been reserved. Registration will begin at 10:00 a. m. and a basket dinner will be served at 12:30 p. m. All friends and relatives are requested to attend. Ethel C. Strickland Secretary MAJOR PRUNING Major pruning of shubs, trees and hedges should be completed before growth be gins in the spring. In South Georgia, this means during early March. In the northern half of the state, pruning the latter part of March is rec ommended. The term “major pruning,” according to Exten sion horticulturists, refers to cutting back misshaped and overgrown plants rather se verely. The job should al ready be done in South Geor gia, and time is running out in North Georgia. White-collar workers will outnumber blue-collar by more than 50 percent in 1980. How ever, 31 million workers will be employed in blue-collar jobs, an increase of more than 2 million over 1970. in the OREMC building. We urger all members to be present. The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, April 22, 1971 BOWL-AWAY BELLES HELD TROPHY LUNCHEON The bowling club known as the “Bowl-Away Belles” held a luncheon at the Goldhouse Restaurant April 15. The Bowl Away Belles are a part of the Thursday Morning Coffee Lea gueu that bowls in Waycross. The league was formed last September and consists of thirty bowlers. The luncheon was held in the Goldhouse Restaurant in Nahunta where trophies were presented to team and indivi dual winners. The first place team winners were Wilsie Robinson, lone Smith, and Daylight Time Is Back That time is here again — Daylight 'Saving Time. This is the third year Geor gians have pushed their clocks up an hour to conform with the federal Uniform Time Act but many people still get the procedure mixed up. There ain’t nothing to it, as the saying goes. Remember, if you will, this simple rule: Spring ahead. Fall back. The law provides that all states of the nation go on Day light Saving Time at 2 a. m. on the last Sunday in April and return to standard time at 2 a. m. on the last Sunday in October. The thing to do is turn your clock up (ahead) one hour be fore retiring tonight. Sunday at 2a. m. EST( it suddenly btcomes 3 a. m. EDT without a loss of a tick or tock.

The chief argument for “fast time” as some people call it, is the make-up of mod ern America. More people live in urban areas than anywhere else and DST gives them addi tional sunlight hours for fam ily togetherness and recreation they would not otherwise have. Many office and industrial workers, particularly in the metropolitan areas, spend hours commuting from home to office and vice versa. The federal law makes DST automatic unless the legisla ture of a state votes specific exemption. This is impracti cal because a state not on day light time becomes, in effect, a time island. So it’s clock changing time. All together, now. Between 1960 and 1969, the total number of weeks that workers spent on vacation in creased almost 50 percent, or from 87 million to 129 .million weeks.
