Alfalfa Weevil Control
Federal label approval was
recently granted for the use
of heptachlor for alfalfa weevil
control under certain condi
tions.
Limited research has shown
that fall applications of hep
tachlor granules will control
alfalfa weevil adults. W h en
granules were applied 'mt la
ter than October 15, there were
no detectable residues of hep
tachlor in the first cutting of
alfalfa the following spring.
In order to comply with Fed
eral label directions and avoid
residues on alfalfa, heptachlor
must be used according to the
following directions:
1. Rate per acre: 1 pound of
actual heptachlor per acre. Do
not use over 1 pound per acre.
2. Formulation: Granular
only 2-1/2 or 5 percent. Apply
2-1/2 percent at the rate of 40
pounds per acre; 5 percent at
20 pounds per acre. Do not ex
ceed these dosages
3. Method of applications:
Broadcast granules with cyclone
seeder or fertilizer distributor
that can be adjusted to deliver
small amounts accurately. Be
sure to calibrate distributor ac
curately. Thorough coverage of
all areas of the field is impor- :
tant if good weevil control is
expected.
4. Caution: do not exceed one
pound of actual heptachlor per
acre. Do not treat after Octo
ber 15. Do not graze animals
on treated alfalfa fields until
after the first cutting the fol
lowing spring.

Time for a Check Up
There is plenty of time to'
m’ke some wise decisions that
will result in minimizing in
come taxes if you know what
your income and expense situ
ation is.
A preliminary check up on
production expenses and re
ceipts to date and a realistic
estimate of them for the next
four months will place you in
a much better position for tax
savings than if you wait until
the books are closed for the
year.
Tax management and tax fil
ing are entirely different. Es- i
fective tax management re
quires continuous decisions
throughout the year — filing is
an annual mathematical exer
cise.

the cause of serious accidents.
Health and safety experts re
port that hundreds of adults
and children are injured each
year because of power mower
accidents.
The gasoline rotary - type
mower causes most accidents
because the blade whirls at
such a high rate of speed. Care
less operators sometimes lose
parts of their fingers or hands
when they attempt to remove
grass clippings while the en
gine is running. The whirling
blades are not visible and the
operator may not realize the
danger involved.
There is danger from objects
picked up and forced out by the
blades. A four cycle engine,
turning a 20 - inch blade at
3,000 revolutions a minute can
hurl a nail or stone about 170
miles an hour.
Georgia Broiler Production
Georgia broilers brought
growers 1153.000,000 during
1959, representing 303,031,000
broilers sold. This makes Geor
gia the .top broiler producing
state in the nation. Even more
significant is the fact that the
second largest broiler produc
ing state — Arkansas — produc
ed only a little more than half
this number.
This large broiler production
is one reason for the greater
emphasis on feed production in
Georgia. For example, in 1959
broilers and supply flocks con
sumed the equivalent of 45
percent of the state’s corn erop.
It takes an average of two and
one-half pounds of feed to pro
duce a pound of meat.
Gas Tax Refunds
Federal Gas Tax refund
deadline is approaching for
farmers wishing to apply for
this refund. The deadline is
September 30th. State refunds
can be obtained anytime so
Jong as the oldest gas receipt
is not over 12 months old. If I
you have not filed for either of
these, I would suggest that
you investigate the matter.
You might find that you have
a sizeable return due you.
Parents, do you belong to a
neighborhood car pool for tak

make very sure that each one

Remember this—it takes only
one unsafe driver in any car
pool to endanger the safety of
your child!
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
\ ABUNDANT UTO J
THE POINT OF CONTACT
A huge multitude of people
tlHOßged about Jesus as He
walked along a dusty road.
They pressed m on Him, hang
ing on Hi* every word, watch
ing with amazement as He
healed the sick and afflicted
among them, as He ministered
to the people, meeting then
needs.
Far away from the Master,
at the very fringe of the crowd,
was a little woman, bowed and
bent, looking gaunt and old.
For 12 years she had suffered
from an issue of blood and had
become weak and thin. All her
money Irad been spent trying
to buy new health. She had
tried many physicians, many
cures; but instead of getting
better, the Bible says the was
growing worse.
But she had heard nt Jesus
and of the wonderful works He
was doing. Now, as she fol
lowed Him on the outskirts of
the crowd, listening to His
words, she caught a glimmer of
hope. Suddenly, a glorious truth
burst upon her like the rays of
the sun glistening upon the Sea
of Galilee. The Bible tells u*
that she said to herself, “If I
may but touch tlie hem of His
garment, I shall be whole.” She
established a point of contact
for her healing.
She began to press through
the crowd. She slowly pushed
her way through the jostling
throngs until she was very near
Christ. And with the last effort*
of her ebbing strength, she
reached out and touched the
hem of Christ’s garment And
A PLACE OF REFUGE—
A SUSTAINING POWER
It is not easy to live a Christ
ian life. It is the most chal
lenging, demanding, and at the
same time the most thrilling
and rewarding life I know.
Jesus never promised the dis
ciples a life of ease and com
fort. He challenged them with
a life of work, sacrifice and
service. No one who begins to
march in the Christian army
has been promised a crown of
life without a cross of suffer
ing. You remember the burn
ing words Jesus spoke when
talking to the rich young rul
er; . . Take up the cross, and
follow me.” (Mark 10:21)
Some unknown poet has writ
ten:
God hath not promised
Skies always blue.
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through.
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow.
Peace without pain.
But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the laborer
Light on the way;
Grace for the trial,
Help from above.
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.
Some people expect to much
from God while others expect
too little. I know people who
have lost their faith in God
when things did not go to suit
them. This is the time we need
a strong faith. When the
storms come, we must trust
God and believe in His good
ness in spite of sorrow, suf
fering, and disappointment.
Christianity is not necessarily
a refuge from the storms of
life, rather it is a place to re
new our courage so that we
can stand during the raging
blizzards. I like to think of
Christianity as a sustaining in
fluence in the fears and frus
trations of life, rather than a
shelter from them.
David Livingston gave his
heart to God and found the
most thrilling but, at the same
time, the most difficult and
dangerous existence. He died
on duty after giving 33 years
of his life in the service of
God to the peoples of the jun
gles of Africa. One day Living
ston stood before the students
of Glasgow University deliver
ing the commencement ad
dress. He told them of some
of his experiences in Africa.
Then he asked, "Shall I tell
you what sustained me in my
years of exile life among
strangers whose language I did
not understand?” A hush swept
over the audience as they wait-
in that split second a swr«
of revitalizing, beating power
went through her body and
made her completely well . . .
alter 12 yean of agonizing suf
fering.
How did this happen? Did
the garment of Jesus have some
mystical healing power? No.
Jesu* explained it by turning to
the woman and saying, "Daugh
ter, thy faith hath made thee
whole" (Matthew 9;22).
Then why wa« she healed
when she touched the garment?
I believe that the touching at
Christ’s robe became a signal
for her to release and use licr
faith. When the woman decid
ed to touch Christ’s garment for
her point of contact, she did twe
things: One, she set the tune
for her healing; two, she set the
place for her healing. Then
when she touched Christ’s gar
ment she released her faith and
it touched Christ She received
her healing.
In my ministry, I lay hands
on tlse sick a* a point of con
tact. so that my faith and their*
can be released that the sick
may receive their deliverance.
The laying on of hands sets up
a point of contact for healing.
It sets a time and a place for
deliverance.
Today, if you have a need
from God, establish a point of
contact. Set a time and a place
for it to happen. Perhaps this
newspaper column can be the
instrument to help you release
your faith. Your faith is your
channel to God. Believe now-,
and God will meet your need*.

He continued, “It was this,
*, . . Lo, I am with you always, j
even unto the end of the'
world.’” (Matthew 28:20) .
Livingston did not think of
Christianity as a place of re
fuge. He found in the Christ
ian life the power, strength
and faith to believe in the good
ness of Jesus Christ and to
know that God was with him,
no matter where he worked.
He was among strangers, but
he always had a traveling
companion whose name was
Christ. The Christian life cost
Livingston, Peter, Stephen,
Jesus, and a host of others,

lives for the sake of Christ,

The Land of Trembling Earth
“The Land of Trembling I
Earth” is what the aboriginal
Seminole Indians called that
fantastic watery wilderness that
time forgot—the great Okefe
nokee Swamp. What a perfect- |
ly delightful place to spend the
weekend —or, if you’re a real
lover of nature’s primitive )
beauty—a long vacation!
The Okefenokee Park is on J
U.S. 1 and 23, and eight miles
south of Waycross. It offers a
wildlife sanctuary of incom
parable charm and unforget
table mysterious loveliness.
This vast area, that time'
forgot, is a non-profit develop- '
ment of the forbidden world I
by the U. S. Fish and Wild- I
life Service. It is reserved In I
the natural state for posterity. I
Fishing is permitted—and it is ■
tremendous —but only with ap- i
proved guides.
The Seminoles called it the ;
“Land of Trembling Earth” be- |
cause of the quaking nature of j
its soil. It is the largest pre- i
served fresh-water swampland .
in the United States. Its 700- i
square mile expanse of wilder- i
ness gives rise to the romantie 1
Suwanee and the historic St. i
Marys rivers which flow re
spectively to the Gulf and to ■
the Atlantic.
It embraces vast areas of
fresh water marshes or prai- ’
ries; pure dark water Jakes o' i
breathtaking beauty; forested!
islands, rich in history and j
legend; and impenetrable,)
haunting jungles where men ,
have dared to go and subse
quently been swallowed, That’s
one reason fishing is permit- ■
ted only with approved guides. ।
The Okefenokee ia an un- 1
impaired wildlife sanctuary,
harboring heavy concentration
of bear, bobcats, alligators, ot
ters, aquatic birds and myriad
creatures protected from guns,
traps and the relentless advance
of civilization.
There are senic boat rides
through original Indian water
ways of labyrinthian, lily
spangled swampland, moss-

available to all visitors.
The game fish in the swamp
include the largemouth black
bass, which has attained the
size of 12 pounds and which
the native call “trout”. The
; jackfish is another fighting
specimen, also the warmouth
perch, the stumpknocker —a
delectable pan sish —and num
erous sun fish.
While there are no overnight
! accommodations in the part,
: admirable ones are offered in
‘Waycross and surrounding
areas. Some of the state’s fin
'est motel and hotel facilities
are in Ware County and Way
cross has many fine restaurants,
of which at least a couple are
! outstanding.
I On the western side of the
: swamp is the Stephen Foster
' State Park where outdoor
, cooking facilities are available
and if you go fishing in the
swamp you're sure to catch
your supper.
Ask your neighborhood ser
vice station to mark a map,
showing the best route to take.
You'll enjoy the swamp and
especially the friendly folks of
Ware.
Only a personal visit to the
“Land of Trembling Earth"
reveals fully its romantic and
mysterious charm.
