Timber Contract*
The surest way to guard
against disappointment and
misunderstanding when you
sell trees from your woods is
to have a written contract,
This contract should be sim
ply an agreement between you
and the timber buyer on what
each of you expects from t h e
other during the cutting opera
tion. Each of you can use it to
refresh your memory occasion
ally on terms of the agreement.
Contracts usually include a
description of the trees to be
sold, the method and time of
payment, a deadline date for
removing trees, and provision
for repairing fences and other .
damages.
Make it your policy to always |
have a written contract when
you sell timber. You will be i
better satisfied with t h e sale,
and the buyer will respect your
businesslike approach.

parasites on livestock cost
Georgia farmers more than
$15,000,000 each year? These
pests irritate animals, suck
blood, ruin hides, cause reduc
ed weight gain and milk pro
duction, and at times may
|cause death.
Horn flies or ticks alone may
suck enough blood from cattle
to cut beef gain by 1/2 pound
per day per head. They also
can cause a 15 to 25 percent i
loss in milk production of dairy 1
I cows.
Infestations of lice, stable
flies, mosquitoes, and house:
'flies may make animals un-i
' thrifty. Screwworms cause an- ;
imals to suffer pain, and if not!
controlled they may eventual
ly kill the animals. Cattle grubs
not only lower beef and milk
production, but they also dam
age hides by cutting holes in
the backs of animals.
You can readily see that ex
ternal parasites cause animals
a great deal of pain and misery,
thus making them weak and
unthrifty — and less profitable.
What can you do about these
pests? First, stop by my office
and obtain a copy of the cir
cular “Control of Insects and
. Ticks on Cattle.” It provides
information on all the recom
. mended insecticides and prac
tices now being used for the
best control of these insect pests
that take away your profits
from cattle.
Cotton Sprayers
Cotton insect sprayers and
I dusters should be'cleaned be
। fore storing them for the win
ter; otherwise they may be
j gummed - up and corroded
J when you try to operate them
| next year.
Dusters should be hosed down
with water, wiped clean, oiled,
I and stored in a dry shed.
Sorayers should be flushed ;
; with water using a small'
amount a detergent. After the
sprayers have been flushed
with water and detergent, flush
them again with fuel oil. Be
sure all of the detergent is
flushed out first.
! Do not use wire in cleaning
the nozzle openings. This could
damage the openings. Clean the
nozzles with fuel oil; then
place them in a sack and tie to
the sprayer. All open ends of
hoses and lines should be
plugged to keep out mice, birds,
bugs, and dirt.
Nematode Questions
Last week we began a series
on answers to questions fre
quently asked about nematodes.
Agricultural scientists estimate
that nematodes get at least
l/10th of everything the far
mer grows. To control nema
todes, it’s to our advantage to
know as much about them as
possible. Perhaps the questions
below are some you may have
concerning nematodes.
Q: How long has it been known
that nematodes cause plant di
seases?
A: It was proven in 1775 that
nematodes caused a disease of
wheat. Root - knot nematode
damage of plants was first pro
ven in 1855.
Q: Do all nematodes cause dam
age to crops?
A: No. Only a few hundred
species feed on plants. Some are
parasitic on animals, insects,
nematodes, etc. Others feed
only on decaying organic mat
ter and are called saprophytic.
Q: Are all crops damaged by
nematodes?
A: As far as studies have
been conducted, all economic
crops are damaged by, or sub
ject to, attack by one or more
kinds of nematodes.
Q: Are nematodes able to
transmit other plant diseases?
A: Yes. It has been proven
that they can transmit virus
diseases. It has been known for
years that they can break the
resistance of a crop which is
resistant to certain wilt organ
isms.
Q: Can soil and root samples
be analyzed for nematodes?
A: Yes. In laboratories nema
todes can be extracted from the
soil and roots through emer
sion, washing, screening, filter
ing, e,c. After they are collect
ed they are identified and
counted under dissecting scopes
and microscopes.
Q: Are there optimum times
for collecting samples for send
ing to laboratories to be check
ed for nematodes?
A: Yes. Generally during the
active period of the crop nema
todes can be found and collect
ed better from soil and root
samples. Under normal labora
tory assay methods root-knot
nematodes are difficult to lo
cate during the dormant periods
or winter months.
In next week’s installment,
questions on the control of ne-
matodes will be answered.

“Trail of Tears”
There’s hardly any place that
will surpass historically inter
esting Unicoi State Park which
sprawls lazily over the Blue
Ridge Mountains of North
Georgia —for sheer beauty
and enjoyment.
In the heart of the once fa
mous Unicoi Gap the park of

do, or r world of restful scenery
and relaxing atmosphere from
just sitting. The modern house
keeping cabins, at old-fashion

detail — except linens. There
are electric lights, but no tele
vision and no telephones to
rudely interrupt your pleasure.

SUNSHINE
Since I am getting a bit
tired of being prodded by my
nice friends and readers, say
ing that they knew I had rest
ed enough, here I come. Yes, I
guess I have been away from
you too long, but my heart still
loves you, and after months I
find my heart beginning to sing
again. Yet, with the world in
such chaos, we wonder if it
might be wiser, to say pray
harder. I find that everyone
must think out what is best
for the future, our youth must
bear and reap the good or bad
we chart for them so . . .To
morrow is coming, yesterday’s
past any change, leaving TO
DAY for us to fill to the best
of our abilities.
Tomorrow? Tomorrow will
never be,
If we should live ten thou
sand years:
Tomorrow is the time no
more we will see,
So live today, make good
each hour as it appears.
Our oromised time is now.
Today—
This we claim as our own,
yet as on wings it flies,
With every heart-beat the
moments say
Live now, think well, do
good, be wise.
Today is the day to stand
life’s test.
Today is the Time to do
our best.
Yes, we must strive, pray
and work, seek the things that
will make our fuure safe and
give freedom.
Lift high your faith with
understanding eyes,
Spread calm upon the
world at strife,
And pray that out of chaos
peace will rise
To an ennobling and a
richer life.
Be still and pray for free
dom’s hour,
Trust on, whatever sorrow
rend the heart,
Rejoice for God’s most gra
cious dower
And seek to do the nobler
part.
Be true for generations yet
unborn.
And nobler, higher
thoughts give birth,
And work that power of
darkness turn to morn,
And Eternal Peace embrace
the earth.

tiers in the area built their
campfires about 1822. A trad
ing post was established, and
Indians traded gold nuggets
and gold dust for the white
man’s wares. It was in this area,
too, that soldiers in 1838 ga
thered the Indians from the
surrounding valleys and high
lands to begin their famous
“Trail of Tears” to the West.
According to legend, the Nacoo
chee Indian Mound enroute to
the park is the ancient Chero
kee town of Guaxale — visited
by DeSoto in 1540 in search of
gold. The Town House stood on
this mound and a sacred fire
burned unceasingly.
Unicoi Park now boasts of a
50-acre lake at the foot of Tray
Mountain: a combination pub
lic bathhouse and pavilion with
concession stand; picnic areas
and beach and an organized
group camp area with facilities
for 100 campers and staff.
Now is a wonder time to
visit Unicoi. Anytime is. But,
now that the sumac and the
dogwood, the maple, the sour
wood and the black gum have
begun to put on fall color, it is
perfectly delightful — even in
spiring. Now the park is getting
restless and changing to its au
tumn costume — as once its
native Indians prepared for a ;
ceremonial dance.
As the weeks roll by, t h e i
color gets brighter, the scene
more varied until it reaches a
climax in late October and;
bursts forth with a masterpiece
of brilliance — as only nature
can provide.
The park is reached by Ga.
17 and 75. For the most scenic
and best route, inquire of your .
neighborhood service station. :
