The Veterans Administration official points out that loans up to SIO,OOO can be guarant eed on a mobile home purchase by a qualified veteran, and up t 0517,500 can be approved if both a lot and mobile home are purchased. VA guarantees up to 30 per cent of the loan on purchases that meet VA specifications, it was noted. The current interest rate on mobile homes is 10.75 per cent. On the lot and permanent improvements, the interest ra te is seven per cent, the same as the current rate for loans on conventional homes. Mobile homes purchased with VA guaranteed loans must be at least 40 feet long and 10 feet wide. Lots must meet VAst andards with regard to location and utilities, Tate explained. Steps for would-be purchasers include: (1) applying to VA for a certificate of eligibility, (2) checking VA minumum specif ications, (3) locating a mobile home that meets these specif ications, (4) settling details for rental or purchase of a site, and (5) applying for a loan through a commercial lender^ Thfei lender will follow thrbugh td' .obtain VA approval, of th® indiL vidual loan.

J/m -— .Jo / Jil If ' T THE ECONOMY Price is what yoti pay for what you get. Throughout the history of the electric industry the trend in the price of electricity has been downward. In the past 10 years, for example, our average price per residen tial kilowatt-hour has dropped almost 16 percent. You know what’s happened to the prices of other goods and services. Value is what you get for what you pay. For two cents worth of electricity you can brew 50 cups of coffee. Or toast 100 slices of bread. Or wash eight loads of clothes. That’s getting your two cents’ worth — and more. Much more. No man can tether time or tide. The economy waxes and wanes. Prices rise and fall. Through the years, ours, too. But electricity remains a value. The biggest bargain in your family budget. By far.

Vets Need To Enroll Early Under Gl Bill Atlanta — “Veterans plan ning to enter college this fall under the Gl Bill should take immediate steps to get their certificates of eligibility,”said Georgia Veterans Service Di rector Pete Wheeler. “While many colleges and universities may have already closed en rollment for the fall term, there are also quite a few which still have vacancies.” Wheeler pointed out that veterans returning to a school they attended previously do not need to get another certi ficate. Veterans changing schools or making a change in their major courses of study, however, must get approval of such changes from the Veterans Administration. Wheeler also is reminding veterans attending summer sessions at Georgia’s colleges and universities to be sure that they return their certifi cates of attendance cards to the VA. These so-called “cert” cards should be returned dur ing the last full month of their period of enrollment. Veterans enrolled under the Gl Bill in training below college level must return their “cert” cards each month in ^dewitt cMtjw wawi nau Full information on all Gl educational benefits may be obtained from any office of the Georgia Department of Veterans Service.

THE FOLKSTON, NAHUNTA AND HOBOKEN, GEORGIA Members Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation INFORMATION FROM YOUR By George A. Loyd County Agent WINTER GRAZING Here it is mid-August and it's still as "blue blazes". Never theless, now's the time to plan winter feed for our cattle. One good way to meet winter feed needs is with winter graz ing. W.H. Sell, one of our E xtension agronomists, reviewed latest practices and recommen dations with me the other day, and I would like to pass them on to cattlemen in Brantley County. He suggests using one and one half to two bushels of rye and 30 to 40 pounds of ryegrass per acre—plus a winter legume. The legume should be either 20 pounds of crimson clover or 10 pounds of amclo clover. Sales prove that this seed mix ture produces best when planted on a well-prepared seedbed in the early fall. WHAT TO EXPECT Test at College of Agriculture Experimentstations have shown that temporary winter grazing will produce about 300 pounds of growth per season on weaned calves. When cattle on this grazing mixture are supplemented with feedssuch as corn silage, citrus pulp or ground snap corn, stock ing rate can be increased to two to three calves per acre. Only about one 500- pound calf per acre is the recommended stock ing rate on unsupple me nted gr azing. Sell also points out that, when the grazing is supplemented, 600 to 800 pounds of animal gain per acre can be expected. The rye-ryegrass-legume mix ture, with intensive grazing, can utilize 100 to 150 pounds, of nitro gen. per acre. ANOTHER POSSIBILITY Additional winter feed can be providedbyse eding ryegrass and clovers —crimson or amclo—on matured bermudagrass. According to Sell, this mix ture should be at the same rate -30 to 40 pounds of ryegrass, plus either 20 pounds of crimson or 10 pounds of amclo. He pointed out that planting should not be done until frost has stopp all Bermuda growth. This system will not provide early grazing. Itwill, however, provide late winter grazing and Bank CO. EXTENSION OFFICE lots of spring grazing. The ryegrass-clover on ber mudagrass should be topdressed with nitrogen in the fall and again in late winter to provide miximum production. Sell also stated thatthis system of overseeding bermudagrass is an excellent method of provid ing forage for a cow-calf pro gram. A VIEW OF THE FOREST BY H. L. NEAL, JR. AREA FORESTER AND E. J. RHODEN COUNTY RANGER Interest rates are high in this country, but they still do not equal those that can be pro duced by fast growing timber. Rates of growth of ten and twelve percent of pine on good sites are not unusual. These high rates of growth can not be maintained with out good forest management. There are a number of things that can be done to increase growth. The most important in this area is thinning. Since many areas were in the Soil Bank Program, early thinning of slash pine(the species plant ed most) is important. Slash pine will stagnate at an early age and will not resume rapid growth if allowed to remain stagnate fortwo or three years. The Georgia Forestry Com mission offers an inspection and marking service to land owners. By boring a few trees, we can determine the rate of growth the trees are making and, if it is too slow, recom mend action that should be taken to speed it up. Most often, this action will be marking the trees to be re moved. Marking is done by shooting two spots of paint on each tree. One spot will be at eye level; the other, at ground level. An estimate of the volume marked will be given after the marking is completed. The charges for this service are 30 cents per cord for pulpwood, and SI.OO per thousand board for sawtimber.
