Newspaper Page TextThe Brantley Enter {rise, Nahunta. Georgia, July 22, 1971 INFORMATION FROM YOUR EXTENSION OFFICE CO. By George A. Loyd County Agent Recently a severe outbreak of sleeping sickness among horses has occured in Mexico and Texas, with several cases beingreportedin Louisiana. It is reported that thousands of animals have died from this disease. The disease has also affected several persons and some deaths have been reported as being caused by this disease. The disease is transmitted from one animal to another, and possibly to humans, by mosquitoes and blood sucking type flies. Every year some horses in Brantley County are lost by becoming infected with sleep ing sickness. There is no known cure for this disease, once the animal becomes sick, but a very ef fective vaccination can be given healthy animals to pre vent them taking the disease. All horse owners are urged to have their animals vaccinated unless they have already done s© this year. Also protect family members, especially children, from being bitten bymosquitoes and other blood sucking insects. This can best be done by keeping door and window screens in good repair and by spraying with Insecticides. When children are allowed to be outside in late afternoon and evening, or allowed to play in dark shaded areas where mosquito population is high, they should be protect ed from being bitten by wear ing long-legged and long sleeved garments and use of repellent on face, neck and hands. Some GI Loan Users May Get More Benefits Atlanta — Persons who used their GI loans to pur chase homes before May 7, 1968, may be eligible for additional home loan benefits from the Veterans Admini stration, according to Georgia Veterans Service Director Pete Wheeler. He said, “Many veterans of World War II and the Korean War, including both active duty personnel and retirees who are eligible, have accrued substantial amounts in unused home loan benefits. These are veterans who obtained loans during the years when loan guaranty was considerably lower than it is at the present time.” The current VA loan guar anty maximum is $12,500, or 60 per cent of the amount of the loan, whichever is less. This maximum has been in ef fect since May 7,1968. When the VA began the home loan program after World War 11, the guaranty maximum was $4,000, or 50 per cent of the loan amount. This maximum was increased to 60 per cent or $7,500 in .September 1951 and remained in effect until the current $12,500 figure was set in 1968. _ , “Therefore,” said Wheeler, “any veteran who financed his home with a VA guaranteed loan before May 7,1968, now has a home loan entitlement of either $5,000 or $8,500 available, depending on when he actually received bis loan. Veterans interested in knowing just what entitle ment they may be eligible for should contact any office of the Georgia Department of Veterans Service. Helps Shrink Swelling Os Hemorrhoidal Tissues caused by inflammation Doctors have found a medica tion that in many cases gives prompt, temporary relief from pain and burning itch in hemor rhoidal tissues. Then it actually helps shrink swelling of these tissues caused by inflammation. The answer is Preparation H. No prescription is needed for Preparation H. Ointment or suppositories. By Virginia N. Raulerson Co. Extension Home Economist Homemakers are always In terested in recipes, and es pecially good and different ones. During the early 1950’s the Home Demonstration Clubs (named at this time) publish ed a recipe book containing favorites of the club members. In the July 1971 Issue of the McCall’s magadne, recipes are given of a cooking con test which was announced in the February issue of the mag idne and which they state drew more than 21,000 entries. The third place wiimer in that contest went to a Mrs. Karen Naes of Florissant, Missouri. She said it was handed down in her husband’s family and she called it Mashed Potato Spice Cake. This same recipe was in the Brantley County cookbook and was submitted by Mrs. Mil ton Manning, but Mrs. Man ning said it came from Mrs. Claude D. Smith. Jule Smith said it came to her from North Carolina, and she calls it an Irish Potato Cake. She said her family prefers this cake to fruit cake at Christmas time. We thought our readers would like to have a copy of Jule Smith's recipe. Try it, it is delicious.

The ex amination, according to Exten sion Horticulturist Glenn Taylor, includes a leaf analysis. He says this analysis then guides the grower in applying right amounts of plant food at right times. Leaf analysis is a service of Cooperative Exten sion, and county agents can provide interested persons with the details. ^coloau 5 . P^‘ 1 P There are immediate steps you and your family can take to help control environmental pollution. Amway, a leading in-home sales company marketing home cleaning products, suggests some positive things you can do: - Remain calm since cool heads working for solutions are more effective in solving problems than hot heads spreading hearsay. - Be willing: to pay for adequate sew age treatment. to wait a reasonable time for industry to implement air, water and noise pollu tion controls. to work — what’s worth having is worth working for. Support efforts to improve sewage efficiency and capac ity CONSERVE WATER: A family of four consumes an average of 200 gallons of water a day, without the consumption of industry . - Running dishwashers and clothes washers only when necessary and only at full capacity. - Keep at a minimum the operation of the garbage dis posal. - Water the lawn only m the morning or in the eve ning when it is not immedi ately lost through evapora tion. WATER POLLUTION: Use limited or no-phosphate de tergents in your washing machine. Measure your de tergent according to the manufacturer’s label instruc tions. With many cities en forcing phosphate percent ages in detergents, check that your detergent con forms to local ordinances on phosphorus content. Many ordinances require that de tergents contain no more than 8.7% phosphorus by weight. , SOLID WASTE POLLU TION: Litter is truly a family affair. About 5.3 pounds of waste are dis carded by each person in the U.S. every day. Streets, highways, campsites are lit tered by nice people who LOW COST FIRE INSURANCE To be sure your summer time outings are safe as well as fun, invest in some low cost fire insurance ... a fire extinguisher. It can be a real life saver. Amway, a leading in home sales company, urges you to have a fire extin guisher handy and in good operating condition for all boating, camping, and bar becuing activity ... as well as in your home. Just having an extin guisher readily available reduces panic because it gives a positive directive —a way to fight back.

Here are a few corrective steps to take: - Maintain refuse cans in good condition with tight fitting lids. - Take a litter walk - picking up candy wrappers, etc., as you go along. - Equip your car or truck with a litter bag and use it. — Leave picnic grounds and campsites better than you found them. - Bring your own trash bags just in case the camp site containers are full or none provided. Bring trash home if necessary. - Never use highways or open areas for disposal of washing machines, furniture and large items. This is be coming common practice, creating eyesores in our finest recreational areas. AIR POLLUTION: Walk or bicycle instead of driving whenever possible. It’s good for the body as well as the environment. - When you take your car, take a friend. Car pools, public transportation and more efficient management of short trips out of the house cut down on the number of cars in the streets. - Investigate anti-pollu tion devices on new car pur chases. - Don’t burn leaves. Use them for compost. Start a compost pile for disposal of grass cuttings and vegetable wastes. If you must burn trash, use only a properly designed incinerator. NOISE POLLUTION: Noise is being labeled as the “new pollutant” by many author ities including the con cerned medical profession. Doctors are beginning to label noise in the home, factory and outdoors as a major influence increasing tension and related diseases. - Turn down the volume on your entertainment appliances. - Noise-test appliances, toys, etc. before you buy. recommends using the fol lowing checkpoints to assure safety and effective ness: Check the extinguisher’s “BC” rating. “BC” refers to classes of fires: A is for paper or wood; B is oil or gasoline; C is electrical. Dry chemical extin guishers are not rated for “A” because it is possible for paper or wood to re ignite after the “blanket” disperses. Check if the extinguisher is UL (Underwriters’ Lab oratories) or FM (Factory Mutual Laboratory) ap proved. Shade trees are very vul nerable to many harmful or killing agents around our homes. Enviromental changes have been due to man's necessity and wishes. Water, gas and sewer lines destroy a large percentage of our tree roots. Fill dirt, mechanical damage and chemical damage accounts for additional losses. All of these "alternations" around our home can kill trees in one year or can be the reason for a tree dying 10 or 15 years Forest trees have a better enviroment for growth. For ests provide a natural mulch to control water runoff and adds humus to the soil. Yard trees grow in a packed soil and nearly all rain fall drains away without effective per colation. Birds and other forms of wildlife assist by nature's process in preventing and controlling many insects and disease. Shade trees in urban areas do not have this chance. Overuse of chemicals and fertilizers on lawns are some times detrimental to growth. In most instances man is the most dreaded enemy of our forests. Unwise use destroys nature's enviroment. Wise use of our resources main taines life indefinitely. Rain fall for July 1-22, 1971 Nahunta tower 4.94 Hoboken tower 4.27 Waynesville tower 4. 66 How much does a porpoise eat? One ancient myth, still widely believed, is that a porpoise eats its own weight in fish every 24 hours. However, after keeping daily records of food consumption for more than 20 years, Marineland of Florida biologists know that an adult bottlenose porpoise weighing between 350 to 400 pounds will grow fat on 15 to 20 pounds of fish a day. Non-toxic extinguishers using harmless chemicals are especially good for small grease and electrical fires. Selecting an extinguisher that’s resistant to moisture and freezing will work well in unheated areas. Dry chemical fire extin guishers are especially effec tive for stopping oil, paint, grease and gasoline fires where using water would be hazardous. They spray a fine dust at the base of the fire. The chemical, upon contact with the fire, forms a harmless gas which shuts out oxygen and quickly smothers the flames. Fires can be put out in seconds. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ The Snapper Comet Sweeper, dozer, hauler, fertilizer, aerator and mower. p A Snapper Comet riding mower is a mini-lawn service in one tough, compact package. -*• -, > With a few simple attachments, it will sweep, doze, haul, fertilize, aerate-do 4 HP practically anything a bulky, expensive garden tractor will do-at less than half . the price.
