Bi? FROM YOUR CO. EXTENSION OFFICE County Agent PAUL E. THOMPSON, JR... FERTILIZATION “Don’t Guess, Soil Test” For years we’ve been pr eaching that, and it’s still the best way we know to tell how much of what kind of fertil izer to use on which crop. But now we have a new pu blication which we believe will also contribute to the growers knowledge of fertilizer and fr rtilizers Recommendations for Field Crops.” is the title, and it is available free at our of fice. The new leaflet was prep ared by P.J. Bergeaux, one of our Extension agronomista and a specialist in soils and fe rtilizers. In addition to giving fertilizer recommendations for specific field crops, he also gi ves a summary of soil test results from throughout this ar ea. There is a lot more help ful information in “Fertiliz. ater Recommendations for Fi eld Crops.” We believe ev ery farmer in the county will benefit from studying this new publication from the Extension Service. FOREST'S FUTURE What kind of contribut ion will our forests make to the economy in the future? It all depends on management. The U.S. will need a 60 per cent increase in some forest products over the next five ye ars. True, some gains have been made in improving the^-qual ity of our forests in recent years, but more needs tobedo ne. We need to eliminate poor land utilization such as under, stocking and overstocking. In ferior trees and undesirable sp ecies also need to go. Super trees are being dev eloped, but these will not be the answer in themselves. In fact, these trees will need even more intensive management in order to realize their full po tential, and to protect them from the hazards of insects and diseases. There are approximately 200,000 forest landowners in Georgia, some 196 of them in Brantley County, and we’d like to see everyone of them strive for optimum management pro grams. Our office has a we alth of information on forest management. Come by and look it over. We may have someth, ing you will be interested in. PAST TENSE PUZZLER Americans spoke a differ ent language 100 years ago. It was, of course, English, but many of the phrases in com mon use in the 1870’s had meanings that are almost totally foreign to us today. If you doubt this, try translating the following terms. Each one was so readily understood it was used without explanation to describe various types of mer chandise listed in the Mont gomery Ward catalog of 1875.

CLOSETS THAT FIT When you aren’t all dressed up in your best clothes , do you have a good place to keep them? Too small or ill arra. nged clothes closets constitutes a kingsize headache that is hard to live with and which none of the well known remedies will cure. The big pain may be lack of depth, too little space be tween rod and shelf above, in adequate hanging space or too narrow door. Or it may be a combination of these. Closets must be high eno ugh, deep enough and wide en ough to hold clothes without crowding or crushing. Depth should be no less than 24 inches should be no less than 24 inches, inside measurement, but more than 30 inches is unnecessary. The rod should be 63 inches from the floor and there sh ould be three inches between it and the shelf above. Space be tween shelves ahould be eight to ten inches. The rod must be capable of fully supporting the clothes. Wood and one-qua rter inch iron pipe are the two materials used for rods. Every closet should have a light but it need not be any. thing more elaborate than a bare bulb in a porcelain lamp holder with a pull switch. It should be located in the cen ter of a walk in closet and just inside over the door of others. Doors should be wide eno ugh to allow access to every thing in the closet. Louvered doors may help prevent mildew by letting aome heat from the room circulate in the closet. A well-planned closet to fit your clothes is a joy to use. You, your clothes and your ho use share the benefits. Plans may be gotten at my office for closets.

(PRN) — U.S. Senator David H. Gambrell today presented a “Working Man’s Bill of Rights,” consisting of “ten basic common-sense provisions, which express the rights of the working people who support and defend the American system.” In a morning press conference at the Nation’s Capitol, Georgia’s Junior Senator said, “This statement of the rights of average American men and women has been formulated from my experience in listening to disappointed and frustrated citizens on my Listening Tours throughout Georgia and in other parts of the country. America’s working people have expressed their concerns to me in various ways and the Working Man’s Bill of Rights is what I have heard.” Gambrell pointed to the outcome of recent Presidential Primaries as proof that “frustration, alienation, and a feeling of being used and abused in prevalent among the citizens of this country.” He said that his Working Man’s Bill of Rights focuses attention on average Americans and their concerns. He said that he intends to keep that attention focused on the Working Man and his Bill of Rights during the upcoming Senatorial campaign in Georgia. “I will challenge other candidates in the Senate campaign to join me in giving American working people the recognition they deserve,” the Georgia Democrat declared. Senator Gambrell outlined his Working Man’s Bill of Rights as follows: “The American System should guarantee to the working man who supports it the following rights: 1. To have a voice in running the system; 2. To be free of abuse and neglect by those in power; 3. To have others share in supporting the system; Blackshear Sales (©@(®M can’t say no! a^SF IK^rrzz^-^ Ford Pinto Runabout with Sprint Decor Option Group ^K^BjKg^HBHKI^SS^^SB^^SK^SSt^SSSBMP I ^’ ^ggjjF Ford Mustang Sportsßoof with Sprint Decor Option Group .^i, % a_ ^**^4s^' come in and drive a brand-new Sprint.

To be free from brainwashing by the national press. Senator Gambrell said he intended to ask Georgia people for their help in perfecting the statement of their rights and to ask for their suggestions for legislation to vindicate these rights. “Hopefully, this discussion will develop a positive program for the solution of the many problems which have been troubling our country,” he said. “The themes which run through the Working Man’s Bill of Rights are ‘All American.’ They are themes upon which American working people from all sections can agree. They are the themes upon which this great Nation was built and the themes upon which we can rebuild for the future,” he stated.
