Set for March Study
ATHENS—Spraying row
crops with pesticides is
becoming more complex by
the day.
There are many different
types of sprayers on the
market today, and there are a
hundred different types of
sprayer setups to accomplish
different jobs in pest control,
said H. B. Goolsby, engineer
with the University of Georgia
Extension Service.
In response to many
requests from county agents,
the Extension engineering
department will conduct four
meetings in March to bring
growers up to date on new
equipment and methods for
applying pesticides to row
crops.
Meetings will be at Midville
March 20, at Claxton March
21, at Douglas March 22 and at
Albany March 23.

Samples are working with
GoOlsby on the programs.
The main purpose is to
inform farmers of the various
methods of applying chemicals
to row crops. “We will do this
in inside sessions using color
slides and featuring our insect,
disease and weed control
specialists,” said Goolsby.
“Then the group will go
outside to see the machinery
and hear from each company
displaying equipment at the
meetings.”
Manufacturers of spray
equipment selling in Georgia
have been invited to
participate.
Goolsby said there is a
growing interest in low volume,
mist blowers and high velocity
sprayers. “We want our farmers
to be well informed about
spraying programs available to
them,” he added.
Alcoholism and its Victims
"The National Council on
Alcoholism is not concerned
with the problem of beverage
alcohol itself. ..We are neit
her "Wet" nor "Dry"...Our
concern iswith a disease call
ed alcoholism and it's victims,
those hapless, suffering hu
man being who are known as
alcoholics."
The Aim: A Perfect Score
In Every Communi l
The affiliate's aim is to in
volve others in the responsib-
ility for conquering alcohol
ism. The work needs to be
shared by all who can and sh
ould take part. Your Council
will have a perfect score in
the Community when..,
PHYSICIANS accept alcohol
ism as a valid medical re-
sponsibilityrequiring routine
diagnosis, adequate treat
ment and preventive servic
es.
LEADING CITIZENS endorse
and support action on alco-
holism as a major health
problem.
EMPLOYERS encourage em
ployees to act on alcohol
ism in the early stages, be
fore job efficiency is lower
ed or job loss threatened.
UNIONS use their counseling
services, health education
and health plans to help
workers avoid loss from al
coholism .
EDUCATORS provide young
people with unbiased inform
ation and free discussion on
alcoholism as a personal
health problem, a family
problem and a Community
problem.
CLERGYMEN help their con-
gregations to understand al
coholism, encouraging al
coholism and their families
to feel they are as much the
concern of the Chruch as any
sick or troubled person.
HOSPITALS AND INSURANCE
PLANS believe alcoholism in
the acute stage should qual
ify a patient for admission;
therefore, accept patients
with the diagnosis of alco-
holism and follow planned
procedures for the manage
ment of the disease.
NURSES help patients and
families to understand that
alcoholism is more than in
toxications it is a vilid dis
ease for professional attent
ion and concern, both in
hospital and at home.
SOCIAL AGENCIES AND PER
SONNEL realize that alcohol
ism is a major responsibility
for social work and social
work and social planning e
fforts.
LEGISLATORS, LAWYERS
AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
PERSONNEL agree that treat
ment for alcoholism is more
effective than punishment,
and work for laws and action
to make the most effective
use of tax funds in dealing
with alcoholism problems.
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
(especially Health Depart
ments) take the same re
sponsibility for alcoholism
as for alcoholism as for other
diseases in protecting and
preserving Community
health.
AN INFORMED PUBLIC has
attitudes of understanding
toward the alcoholic and
takes personal responsibility
for action if the warning
signs or symptions should c
ccure.
Hoboken
Community
Club Met,
The Hoboken Community
Building Club met December
IS, 1971, in the A.B. Baptist
Church.
The meeting was opened
with prayer, by the president,
Deacon Pete Bowens. A
clean-up was discussed. No
definite plans were made.
A film was shown on "Driv
ing and Drugs". Another film
was shown on " A Flair for Gift
Wrapping."
Delicious refreshments were
served by some young people
in the club.
The club members exchang
ed Christmas gifts after the
eating.
There were about twenty
people present.
BROILER COSTS
Good news for broiler
producers! The Crop Reporting
Service says broiler production
costs in the first half of 1972
likely will be down moder
ately. The reason: Feed grain
prices will be well below a year
earlier because of the large
1971 com crop. Also, the
Economic Stabilization
Program is expected to slow
the rise in other production
costs.

QUtBOOBS
Bl
ATLANTA (PRN) - My
incoming mailbox at the office
usually manages to stay pretty
full.. .but, as are all other
mailboxes this time of year,
the amount of mail was
swelled lately by Christmas
cards from friends, readers,
industries and all sorts of folks
I run into in this business.
Since these people are good
friends, I read them all. And I
enjoy the beautiful cards. I
would never have guessed how
many Christmas cards bear
photos and drawings of
wildlife.
One particular card caught
my eye, a bit more than the
others. It wasn’t the drawing
of the Canadian geese that
snapped me to special
attention, although it was
attractive, as was the one with
a covey of quail, huddled in
the brush against a cold,
snowy winter’s day.
What got my mind to
turning was the text of this
particular card, from Fred
Bear of Bear Archery
Company. It read:
“At the beginning of the
century sportsmen came to
the rescue of wildlife. Birds
and animals were protected
and managed, but people have
never been managed and so
our wildlife faces a serious
threat.
“Three thousand acres of
wildlife habitat a day are being
taken over for the uses of
man. Future generations may
see wildlife only in zoos and
wonder what happened.”
There’s a good bit of
thought in that. It struck me
that Fred Bear commented
about the lack of management
of people. You know, there’s a
lot of talk these days about
hunting being detrimental to
having an abundance of
wildlife. Those of us who
know conservation know this
is hogwash and the opposite of
truth. It is hard, though, to
convince someone of that if
EXPENSIVE KIDS
How much does it cost to
feed the kids? According to U.
S. Department of Agriculture
estimates, you’ll spend about
$8,300 to feed a girl from
infancy to age 18. For a boy,
the cost is about $8,900.
THE FARM DEBT
Outstanding farm debt in
the United States—now S6O
billion—has increased five times
since 1950. It doubled between
1960 and 1970, and is
expected to double again by
1980. If it does, an additional
S6O billion is going to be
needed in the next ten years
for farm debt.
BY DEAN WOHLGEMUTH
Georgia Game and
Fish Commission
Man Destroyer
Os Wildlife
they’ve made up their minds
against guns and hunting.
Man is the chief destroyer
of wildlife, that’s true. And
this card pointed that out
when it stated that 3,000 acres
of wildlife habitat are being
destroyed each day.
Wildlife can be managed
until we turn red in the face,
but nothing is going to help a
great deal until and unless
there is good habitat.
Each time I make the hour
or so trip to find a place to
hunt, I recall the days as a
teenager when I was hunting
within 100 yards of
home.. .and long for that
kind of freedom. It’s ironic
that at that time I yearned for
days when, as an adult, I could
go where I wanted to and find
more game and more exotic
game.
Not many years ago when I
moved into my present home,
I could wake in the morning
and hear the “bob-bob-white”
whistle of quail. There were
two coveys close by, one on
each side of the house, within
less than a quarter of a mile. I
could see squirrels in the trees
from my window. Doves flew
by every day, by the dozens.
The squirrels were the first
to go, when the trees went.
Soon after, there were houses
where there had been open
fields. It’s rare that I see a
dove now, and I haven’t seen a
quail in three years. These
birds weren’t hunted. They’re
gone because man moved in
and took their home.
There was a pona a
quarter-mile from home, with
bass and bream. Now, it’s a
drained mudhole, with
apartment buildings springing
around it.
Man is the destroyer of
wildlife all right.. .but not
with his guns. He destroys
with tools, machines, building
materials .. .all in the name of
“progress!”

CHEESE TALK FARM NUMBERS
Data on cheese consumption
are usually reported for only
two broad categories—
American and “other.” About
two-thirds of the cheese eaten
in the U. S. is American cheese.
The terms American and
Cheddar are often used inter
changeably. Actually,
American cheese refers to a
general cheese group that
includes Cheddar, Colby and
some lesser-known types.

The number of farms in the
U. S. is projected to drop to 2
million by 1980. And the
number of families who rely
primarily on the farm for their
income will be much smaller
than this. Such farm families
could number only 830,000,
compared with some 1.5
million in 1970. And many
would have substantial
off-farm income, according to
one projection of the
Economic Research Service,
