Newspaper Page TextFROM YOUR CO. EXTENSION OFFICE By George A. Loyd County Agent STORAGE OF CARRY-OVER TOBACCO A good many tobacco farm - ers have produced more to bacco than their alloted poundage would permit them to sell this year. It is more economical to save tobacco and sell it on next year's a llotment than to have to go to the expense of producing it again. Mr. Robert L. Miles and Mr. James D. Fountain, to bacco production specialists with the Cooperative Extens ion Service, have provided me with the following re commendations on storing surplus tobacco. They say, "if a few important proced ures are carried out, tobacco can be stored fora year with out reducing the quality to any extent. " This is as foll ows: Tobacco should be st ored in as dry condition as possible. Store tobacco in a reasonably tight storage ho use or room, covering the windows with a tobacco sh eet. The tobacco should not be exposed to the light for a long period of time. Light will change the color of the tobacco. All trash should be removed from the storage area. If pieces of tobacco are on the walls or posts in the storage area, they -should be swept down and removed. The storage area ( floor, walls, and ceiling) should be sprayed with an insect icide. The area should be thoroughly, to the extent that the material will run. Mix 1 pint of premiun-grade 57% malathion emulsifiable concentrate or 2 pounds 25% premium-grade malathion wettable powed in 3 gallons of water. Poles or 2x4's should be placed on the floor with boards over the poles to sup port the tobacco. Place a piece of plastic over the boards, leaving plenty of the plastic free so it can be pulled over the tobacco. After the tobacco has been placed on the plastic that is covering the boards, pull the free plastic over the tobacco completely then place one or two sheets that have been shaken out well over the plastic that is covering the tobacco. The tobacco sh ould be stacked away from the wall so that it can be checked from all sides. Even though all steps are carried out and a good job is done, it is imperative that the tobacco be checked of ten during the year for in sects, moisture, and heat ing. This can be done by pulling hands of tobacco from several areas of the of the stack. If insects are evident, tr eatment should be made immediately. Fumigation is a very economical met - hod to use. However, the area treated should be air tight. If the plastic cover ing the tobacco does not have holes, release two pounds of methyl bromide under the plastic per 1000 cubic feet of area. Growers should be extremely caut ious when using methyl br omide. This material is very dangerous. If the stor age room is fairly tight and practically full of tobacco, it may be easier to fumigate the entire room. This treat mant may be necessary more than one time, so check the tobacco often. Growers sh ould be extremely cautious in handling the chemicals. Your Horn* Newspaper Mikl Reflects the History Os Your County- INFORMATION By Virginia N. Raulerson Co. Extension Home Economist HERE ARE THE FACTS BOTULISM CAN HAPPEN BOTULISM CAN KILL IT CAN BE PREVENTED! In recent months, three news releases concerning botulism food poisoning have been hea rd on radio and television, namely, products manufact ured by Bon Vivant, Inc., vi chyssoise, chicken vegetable soup and a vegetarian veget able soup from the Campbell Soup Company. In both cases, the companies asked that the canned foods concerned be withdrawn from the grocery shelves and all other cans be destroyed. In one case, the Food and Drug Administration took an active part in the re - moval of the canned products as a safety precaution against possible botulism poisoning. The following information is only concerned with botul ism food poisoning as there are other types of food poison ing and food infections which cause people to become ill: Botulism is caused by a rod - shaped, gram positive, spore forming microorganism nam - ed Clostuidum botulinum. This microoganism is widely, distributed in the soil through out the world. The micro organism, itself, is not toxic tha t is produced by the micro under favorable growing con ditions that is toxic. Clostrid- ium botulinum is an anaerabe, that is, it grows in the absence of oxygen. Therefore, a se aled can of food gives an ideal environment for growth. Most all active growing microor ganisms are destroyed at boil ing temperature(2l2°F.) The spores or inactive forms of this microorganism are quite re sistant toheat, cold, dryness, etc. and can live for long periods of time in a dormant state. When the proper enviro nmental conditions prevail, this spore will germinate similar to when an egg hat ches and the live active cell is then ready togrowand mul tiply. Proper food and mois ture requirements are necess ary for this germination. Proper processing or heat is required to destroy these spores. It has been reported that it takes 360 minutes at 212° F. to destroy these sp oresand only four minutes at 248° F. which is about 15 pounds retort pressure. Sh ould the canned foods have been properly processed, that is, with the proper time -tern - perature relationship, all of the spores in the canned food would have been destroyed and there would have been no danger of Clostridum bot ulinum poisoning. The toxic produced by this microorgan ism is destroyed by heat. Any canned foods should be heat ed to the boiling point (212° F.) for at least 15 minutes before they are tasted or eat en. Should any of the toxic be present in the food, it will be destroyed by heating. Since 192 5 only 4 deaths have been reported from commer cially canned foods but near ly 700 deaths have occured from botulism contracted th rough the consumption of foods which were canned at home. The following steps that can be used to prevent out breaks of botulism: 1., Use the proper time and temperature requirements for each particular food when processing. 2. Reject all cans of food that are bent or damaged or have swollen tops. 3. Do not taste canned foods before heating them for 15 minutes at 212^ F. 4. Do not eat foods that have been cooked, then held for a long period of time without being re-heated. 5. Avoid raw or pre-cooked foods that have been frozen then held at room temperat ures. It might be said that if a food is properly processed, Clostridium botulinum poi soing will notbe a problem. This is the reason that all of the information from your county Extension office re commends the use of the pressure canner for processing non acid vegetables. The time and temperature re commended will kill all of the botulism spores. No foods should be process ed in the oven or open kettle canning except jellies and other sweets poured boiling hot in jars and sealed im mediately. In addition, to prevent botulism, all vegetables sh ould be thoroughly washed before they are canned or frozen, and everything used in home food preservation work should be clean. The Temple Mound at Kolomoki State Park near Blakely, Georgia, is 56 feet tall, and covers an area the size of a modern football field. (PRN) TOUR GEORGIA BLAKELY (PRN) - The town of Blakely, in southwest Georgia’s Early County, rightly proclaims itself symbolic of the old and the new, tying in the customs and culture of early Georgia with the surging progress of the seventies. And few towns indeed can offer such a wide-ranging contrast of the antique and the contemporary. Just north of Blakely, off U.S. 27, is Kolomoki Mounds State Park, an historic site some six centuries old. Here is the 56-foot high Temple Mound with a base the size of a football field, once the center of an Indian population numbering perhaps 3,000. Archaeologists say that earth for the great mound was painstakingly moved into location via small baskets. From excavations, experts have been able to project a rough outline of local history, which dates back prior to the Kolomoki tribe. Apparently, between 1,000 and 1,200 A.D., the area was an outpost of the Weeden Island Indians, whose villages and mounds stretched southward as far as Tampa, Florida. This National Historical Landmark is also noted as a recreation site, providing camping grounds, a 75-acre lake for boating and fishing, a J R.T.

Then there is the here and now Blakely, where an upcoming celebration will honor a county that leads the nation in the production of peanuts. The Early County Peanut Festival and Fair is scheduled for September 27 through October 2, a week-long happening featuring educational exhibits and fun-filled fairgrounds. Individuals will compete with exhibits ranging from arts and crafts to cooking and sewing. Other events include the naming of a Peanut Queen and a Little Miss Peanut, and a Peanut Cook-Off contest. 01 special interest to Festival visitors is the Wildlife Exhibit staged by the Georgia Game and Fish Commission, a presentation of interest to young people and adults alike. The Festival is sponsored by the American Legion Post No. 11, with the principal aim of promoting Early County’s number one crop: the peanut. Daily hours are 3 to 11 p.m. The Department of Industry and Trade, Tourist Division, says a week of family fun is in store for visitors at the all new Early County Peanut Festival and Fair.
