1960 Winners
Best 4-H Crops, Recreation Projects
Bailey Joiner
Two Georgia teenagers can
now elaborate on a jaunt to the
“showcase of 4-H" in Chicago
where they attended the National
4-H Club Congress in Chicago as
top award winners in their re
spective 1960 4-H projects.
Bailey Joiner, 18, of Midville,
captured leading laurels in the
state with his field crops project,
while Susan Eddy. 16, of Macon,
was crowned for her recreation
program accomplishments. Both
won all-expense paid trips to
Chicago.
Young Joiner, in 4-H activities
for half of his 18 years, is the
son of Mrs. T. B. Joiner. A fresh
man at Georgia Military College,
and a 1960 graduate of Swains
boro High School, he has used
the family’s 400-acre farm in pur
suit of his 4-H objectives. He is
a member of the Swainsboro
Senior 4-H Club.
His award trip was arranged
by the Arcadian Products Dept.,
Allied Chemical Corp., which
also provided six S4OO scholar
ships on a national scale.
The 4-H field crops program
has been set up to emphasize job
possibilities on the farm and in
related Industries by meeting
people concerned with crops—

people, writers and others.
Susan, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Clifford M. Eddy, has been
in 4-H Club work four years.
She was president of the 4-H
Club at A. L. Miller High School,
where she is a junior. She also
is , resident of the southwest
district 4-H Club Council and the
Bibb county 4-H Council.
Observes Ann D. Rozier, home
demonstration agent: “The Eddy
family is truly a dedicated 4-H
family. All five of the children
have been active 4-H members,
and Mr. and Mrs. Eddy are ex
cellent volunteer 4-H leaders.”
Mrs. Eddy is adviser to two 4-H
Clubs.
Susan was a guest of John
Deere, a newcomer in 4-H proj
ect sponsorship, during her Chi
cago visit.
The recreation program was
established to develop resources
that make wholesome leisure
time opportunities available to
individuals and groups and to
encourage leadership in recre
ational activities.
The National 4-H Congress
was conducted by the Coopera
tive Extension Service, arranged
by the National 4-H Service
Committee, and supported by
some 50 leading business enter
prises and private citizens.
Laundering is both a me
chancial and chemical process.
The chemical reaction lies in
the washing solution loosening
and freeing the soil from the
fabrics. The mechanical pro
cess is the removal of this soil.
The homemaker can help the
washing machine to do a bet
ter job and last longer by fol
lowing some basic points out
lined by Extension Service
Housing and Equipment Speci
alist Doris Oglesby. These are
as follows:
1. Clothes must be sorted
according to color and fabric
as well as the degree of soil.
2. Water will be either soft
or hard. There is no problem
with soft water but something
must be done to hard water to
make it soft.
3. The type of water soften
er and how it is used in im
portant.
4. Selection of the soap or
detergent is also important.
5. Temperature of the water
must be suited to the fabric
and soil.
6. The equipment should al
ways be used correctly, mak
| ing sure you follow manufac
turer’s operating instructions.
Cheap Shrubbery Isn’t Always
A Good Buy
When you are buying orna
mental plants for your land
scaping plan, make sure you’re
getting what you pay for. The
money you spend here could
‘ mean the difference in getting
healthy and diseased plants.
The money you spend for first
1 rate ornamental plants, both
annual and perennial, is the
safest money you can spend.
Dr. Luther Farrar, plant
pathologist on the state staff
of the Agricultural Extension
Service, is particularly inter
ested in homeowners getting
diseased free plants. He says
it’s not always the case, but
very often when special deals
are offered on plants they are
of inferior quality. They might
be varieties not adapted to our
locality. They might not be
certified as having been check
ed for serious diseases. Then,
they may have been out of the
ground so long that they might
not live. These are all mays
and mights but. nevertheless,
could be true and then it’s
money down the drain.
GET SOIL SAMPLES IN
Any more delay in getting
soil samples into the laboratory
now could cost money at har
vest time, declares Extension
Agronomist P. J. Bergeaux at
the University of Georgia Col
lege of Agrilcuture. Mr. Ber
geaux says laboratories are
flooded with samples in Feb
ruary and March, so it may
take longer to get recommen
dations. Get samples in before
the middle of February, he
urges. j

Georgia Power
Sets Big '6l
Building Budget
Georgia Power Company
this week announced the great
est construction budget in the
firm’s history— a scheduled
1961 expenditure of $59 1/2
million.
John J. McDonough, presi
dent, also reported Georgia’s
economic expansion for the
next three years will increase
demands for electric power by
more than a billion kilowatt
hours a year. He predicted
similar growth will continue
“beyond the next three-year
period.”
Mr. McDonough said that the
company’s 1961 construction
budget is S2B million larger
than the capital investment of
the 83 new industries which
located in the company’s ser
vice area last year. (The capital
investment figures are based on
industries with more than $50,-
000 of capital outlay and em
ploying at least 10 persons.)
The company will make a
substantial investment in con
tinuing work on the Southern
Electric Generating Company’s
million-Kilowatt steam-elec
tric generating plant near
coal fields at Wilsonville, Ala.
This plant is jointly owned by
the Georgia Power Company
and Alabama Power Company.
The plant’s first two units,
with a generating capacity of
250,000 kilowatts each, went
into service in 1960. In 1961 a
third unit will begin opera
tion. Georgia receives half of
the plant’s output.
One of the company’s top
1961 projects will be continu
ing construction on Plant Mc-
Donough near Atlanta. This
500,000 ki law all project
was started in 1960
and will cost approxi
mately $66 million when com
pleted in 1964. The first unit
is scheduled for completion in
1963 and the second unit in
1964. An estimated $11,750,000
will be spent on this plant in
1961.
The company will spend $4,-
240.000 in 1961 for installing
30.000 kilowatts of new hy
droelectric generating facili
ties at the existing North High
lands dam near Columbus. This
project is scheduled for com
pletion in June, 1962, at a
budgeted cost of $7,600,000.
Work will continue on build
ing 47 miles of 230,000-volt
transmission line from Morrow
to Winder and a 125,000-killo
watt substation at Winder. To
tal cost will be nearly $2,900,-
000, of which approximately
$1,900,000 will be spent in
1951. This line will be extend
ed to the Hartwell dam at a
cost of approximately $2,560,-
000, of which $200,000 will be
spent in 1961.
Approximately $1,325,000
will be spent in 1961 for con
tinuing work on 88 miles of
230,000-volt transmission line
from the Goat Rock plant, near
Columbus, to Bonaire, near
Macon. This project will be
completed in 1952 at a cost of
nearly $3,500,000.
Thirty-eight miles of 110,-
000-volt transmission line are
under construction from Tifton
to Plant Mitchell, near Albany.
Cost will be $1,300,000, of
which $1,100,000 will be spent
in 1961.
Atlanta area substations and
connecting transmission lines
will be built at Bolton. River
dale, Peachtree Street. Spald
ing Drive, Smyrna and Bel
vedere.
Other such facilities will be
cons t r uct e d at Washington.
West Augusta, Columbus and
Macon. Approximately $3,900.-
000 will be spent on these
projects in 1961.

County Agents Column
By Ed Hunt
If you want to protect your
farm’s cotton acreage history,
you must do one of two things:
(1) Plant 75 percent or more
of your 1961 allotment, or (2)
release any acreage you will
not plant to the ASC County
Committee. They can then re
lease it to other farms.
Cotton acreage history de
termines future allotments.
When you release acreage you
do not plan to plant, this ac
reage can be allotted to other
farms. This action will protect
your farm’s future cotton allot
ment base.
Holding on to cotton acreage
which you do not plan to plant
not only affects future allot
ments of your farm, but those
of the county and state as well.
Fertilizer Injury
Use of higher analysis and
greater quantities of fertilizer
in recent years has increased
the danger of fertilizer injury
to freshly planted seed. This
injury can be avoided.
High rates of relatively high
analysis fertilizer can be used
with no danger to seed or
young plants when it is placed
properly in the soil. Fertilizer
should be placed at least two
inches to one side of .the seed
and two inches below.
Fertilizer injury is caused
by a high concentration of
soluble fertilizer salts near the
seed. When the concentration
gets high enough around the
roots of a young plant, the
plant is unable to take water
from the soil. In fact, water is
drawn from the plant. This
sometimes causes a plant to
look like it had been placed
in an oven and dried out.

New Cash Crop
Soybeans have become a
good cash crop on many Geor
gia farms. They can be han
dled with equipment used for
small grain and corn, and they
may be substituted for other
crops now under acreage re
strictions.
Soybeans are adapted to cli
matic and soil conditions sim
ilar to those for corn. They
shouldn’t be planted on poor
soils, eroded clay, and poorly
drained areas.
For best possible results,
plant only certified seed and
prepare the land thoroughly.
If soybeans follow small grain,
the seedbed can be prepared
by thorough disking.
Soybeans should be planted
about corn planting time or
when the ground has become
thoroughly warm. Late April
and May, depending upon the
section of state are good plant
ing dates for soybeans in Geor
gia, but now is not too early
to make your plans.
New Corn Club
The 1000 Bushel Corn Club,
which has received much re
cognition in past years, is be
ing replaced in 1961 with the
“Money Maker Corn Club.”
Any Georgia corn grower
who has produced 85 or more
bushels of corn per acre on an
entire farm unit is eligible for
the Money Maker Corn Club
award. Stop by at my office
for more information.
Strains For Market Eggs
Strains of chicks for market
eggs production are evaluated
by three common ways. The
three are: results on neighbors
farms, standard egg laying
tests, and random sample egg
laying tests.
Results on neighbors farms
may or may not be a good cri
teria to use because of possi
ble differences in environment
and disease conditions. Even
though there may be a differ
ence in conditions, it is still ad
visable to check with your
neighbors concerning strains
that they have used.
Standard egg laying tests
are of little practical value.
Birds in these tests are usually
reared under conditions not
practical on the average farm,
and there is no record of mor
tality until the birds are placed
in the test. It is also possible
that you may not get chicks
