At the State Future Farmers of America Rally in Macon, the teachers of vocational agriculture
tn Georgia presented a 1961 Ford to Mr. T. G. Walters, who recently retired as State Super
visor of Agricultural Education. This gift was token of appreciation for the outstanding con

(center) are L. E. Norris, LaGrange (left). President of the Georgia Association of Teachers
of Vocational Agriculture, and James H. Morgan, Franklin-Overstreet and Company, Swains
boro, who sold the new car to the teachers.
Georgia farmers will lose
much of their estimated sls
million investment in seed this
fall and winter by buying poor
seed, warns Extension Seed
Marketing Specialist Harvey
Lowery.

Roasting The Turkey
Today’s high quality birds make it easy for even the
inexperienced to have excellent results. If the turkey pur-'
chased carries specific instructions for handling and cook
ing (on the wrapper or insert sheet), follow those recom-.
mendations. True roasting is slow cooking by dry heat on |
a rack in an open pan. And no water, no cover nor searing
is required. Variations of this method also give satisfactory
results. Whatever the method, always complete roasting in
one continuous cooking period.
Follow these simple steps for open-pan, low-heat roast
ing:
1. Have bird completely clean. Rinse with cold water.
Pat dry.
2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. (slow)
3. Rub cavity of bird lightly with salt. Do not salt, if
stuffed.
4. Fill wishbone area (neck) with stuffing, if used.
S. Fasten neck skin to back with skewer.
6. Stuff cavity lightly, if stuffing is used.
7. Push drumsticks under band of skin at tail; or tie
them to tail.
8. Place turkey on rack in roasting pan. Brush skin
with fat. Place in oven.
9. If desired, baste or brush occasionally with pan
drippings — especially any dry areas. Baste quickly
in order not to lose oven heat. When turkey is 2/3
done, cut cord or band of skin at drumsticks.
10. Continue roasting until done. Turkey is done when
meat at thickest part of drumstick feels very soft
when pressed with protected fingers.
This timetable is a guide to the approximate time.

Georgians Now Spending More
On Education, Caldwell Says
State supported higher edu- ,
cation in Georgia is now at the 11
crossroads, according to a spe
cial pamphlet “The Odds Are
Against Us” recently released
by the University System it
was announced today by Dr.
Harmon Caldwell, Chancellor
of the University System. “The
pamphlet was prepared by a
committee made up of presi
dents of the 19 units of the
University System and de
lineates the competitive plight
of the University System,” said
Chancellor Caldwell.
According to the pamphlet,
Georgians are now spending a
greater amount of personal in
come on education than in any
time in Georgia’s history, but
the State still remains well be
low the South and the nation
in amount of per capita income
spent on its University System.
In 1959-60, the nation as a
whole spent $7.88 of its per
capita personal income on high
er education while the South
spent $6.88 and Georgia spent
$6.16.
“The competitive position of
the University System in the
area of faculty salaries is espe
cially in danger because of this,
fact,” the presidents’ commit
tee continued. “The University
System competes with other in
stitutions throughout the South
as well as with industry for
its faculty members. In spite
of the progress in the matter
of faculty salaries over the
past twenty years, the State of
Georgia has barely succeeded
in holding its position among 1
other states with the lowest in 1
paid university faculty mem- >
bers. The average salary of the
faculty members in the State j
of Georgia is almost SI,OOO a ।
year less than the average .
across the nation.
“If Georgia does not take the 1
leadership in raising salaries
of faculty members of the i
University System, the State
stands to lose many of its best
teachers. In addition to more
money for faculty salaries, the I
University System needs a'
higher percentage of tax dol-i
lars to broaden. its services to '
the citizens of the State. An (
investment in higher education
can be compared to an invest
ment in blue-chip stocks: It
will more than make up for its
cost in the increase in per capi
ta income it brings the people
of the State.”
The presidents go on to point
out that six out of ten Geor- I
gia college students now attend
units of the University system.
The System which now has
32,869 students is expected to
have 45,200 by 1964 and over
55,000 by 1969 accord
(iing to research done especially
for this presidents’ commit
tee,” they said. “The four
year college degree is rapidly
becoming standard equipment
for many of the desirable jobs
in Georgia. This is not a fad.
It reflects the fact that jobs
are becoming more skilled, more
more specialized, and more
. specialized, and more technical.
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The State)
People have to be educated to J;
higher levels in order to do ■
their jobs. With this education
they will earn larger incomes. I
But, this demand for more I
college graduates will place an ;
enormous financial burden on
the University System. It must ।
have additional financial sup- .
port now to get ready for this !
increased enrollment.
“Without an increase in col
lege graduates, the State of
Georgia’s recent industrial and
agricultural gains will be
blunted and the per capita in
come will drop. It is axiomatic
that education precedes eco
nomic growth and that the
stronger your educational sys
tems, the higher your per cap
ita income.
j “Georgia now stands eighth
among the twelve southeastern
' states in the amount of person
' al income spent for higher edu-
I cation,” the presidents’ com
mittee continued. “If Georgia
is to compete with the other
states in the country’s fastest

growing, most competitive area,
the state must better this rank

“During the past ten years
the per capita income in Geor
gia has increased by over 50
per cent (1950 - $1,016, 1959 -
$1,553) If the state is to ex
, pect a continuing increase in
income of its citizens, the fi
nancial support of the Univer
sity System must be increased.”
The pamphlet also points out
that, “in addition to furnishing
the State with a majority of its
teachers, scientists, agricultur
alists, foresters, home econo
mists, engineers, industrial and
business administrators, and
scientific technicians, the Uni
versity System also provides
the citizens of Georgia with a
number of important services,
