Getting Seed Tested
Many ot you may plant home
grown seed for certain crops
this year. Having this seed
tested for germination before
it is planted could save you
considerable time and effort
You can have home grown
seed tested free simply by send
ing it to the State Seed Lab
oratory located in the State
Agriculture Building in Atlan
ta.
If you wish to make use of
this testing service, send your
seed to this laboratory now.
Some types of seed such as Pen
sacola Bahia must remain in
the germinators for as long as
28 days. This makes it impos
sible in many cases to furnish
reports on germination and
purity in just a few days.
In sending in a sample of
seed you want tested, be sure
to include your complete name
and address. Surprisingly, this
is often forgotten. Upon re
ceipt of the seed sample at the
State Seed Laboratory, an ack
nowledgement will be sent to
you. If you do not receive this
acknowledgement within 10
days, check with the seed la
boratory.
Fineness of Lime
Many questions are asked by
farmers each year concerning
limestone requirements of their
soils. One frequent question
this past year has concerned
the fineness to which limestone
is nulverized.
The fineness of pulverized
limestone is important because
limestone’s rate of reaction is
largely dependent on the sur
face area of the limestone par
ticles. The finer the particles,
the greater is the amount of
surface exposed to solution.
For quick effects, pulverized
limestone that will pass
through a 100-mesh screen is
desirable This product will
react with the soil during the

Mrs. Richardson's
Sixth Grade
By Vicki Palmer and
Benson Dial. Reporters
On Friday, February 3, Mrs.
Richardson’s room held their
class meeting. We elected our
class officers who are as fol
lows: President, Lee Durden;
Vice-president, Marsha Schell;
Treasurer, Bobby Blalock. Af
ter the election we went into
the auditorium to see a play,
“Sink the Bismarck”, produced
by Mike Pratt. After the play
we came back to our room and
Mrs. Richardson read to us
from “The Secret Garden".
All of the sixth grades are
looking forward to the Valen
tine dance party, to be given
to them by their mothers. We
will dance, play games and
have fun Friday night. Feb
ruary 10, from 7-9:30. Our
first few months of applica
tion.
’ Limestone particles passing
: through a2O - mesh screen and
held on a 100 - mesh screen
! will dissolve and become avail
-1 able within a year or so. Par*
ticles larger than a 20 - mesh

in the soil.
Broiler Meeting
A Broiler Housing Sympo
sium will be held at the Geor
, gia Center for Continuing Edu
cation, Athens, February 22.
This meeting is planned pri
marilv for broiler producers,
but the information presented
will be of such nature that egg
producers can secure consider
able benefit from attending
this meeting. Information will
be basic and applicable to the
market egg enterprise the
same as to broilers.
Outstanding speakers have
been obtained for this meeting.
They will discuss such topics
as insulation and ventilation,
poultry house construction,
brooding systems and other
equipment.
Preparing for Planting
Now is a good time of t h e
year to get planting machinery
in tip-top condition before
planting season.
Planters should be assem
bled and checked for excessive
ly worn parts and then
thoroughly oiled and greased.
Fertilizer hoppers should be
thoroughly cleaned and cov
ered with thin coat of soil un
til ready for use. To determine
if rust is causing gears to bind,
planters can be operated by
hand.
In selecting corn and other
seed for planting, take into
consideration the plates that
are available for the size and
shape of seeds being purchased.
If this preventative main
tenance is taken, it can aid in
smoother operation at planting

Georgia Chicken
To Be Featured
On School Menus
Georgia - produced chicken
will be featured in school
lunchrooms throughout the
state during February as a sa
lute to the state’s broiler in
dustry, which ranks first in the
nation and is the chief source
of farm income in the state.
Chicken is no stranger to
Georgia school lunch menus,
but during February schools
across the state will serve
chicken at least once a week as
a tribute to the state’s broiler
industry, reports Dewey Mc-
Niece, Extension poultryman at
the University of Georgia Col
lege of Agriculture.
“Not only do we hope
through this salute to the Geor
gia broiler industry to acquaint
our school children with the
importance of this industry to
the state and the nation, but
also with the outstanding nu
tritive value of Georgia oro
duced chicken,” says Miss Elea
nor Pryor, school lunch super
visor of the Georgia State
Department of Education.
Mr. McNiece points out that
during 1959 Georgia produced
303,031,000 broilers to lead all
states, and its 1960 output is
again expected to top that
of all states. Broilers, he added,
also have become Georgia’s
chief source of farm income,
with cash receipts in 1959
amounting to $153,000,000 or
21 1/3 percent of the total cash
of $717,810,000 that Georgia
farmers received for their 1959
marketings.
In Georgia, the school lunch
program, too, has grown, and
is now the largest food service
industry in the state, according
to Miss Pryor. During the
1959 - 60 school year, schools
in the state with lunch pro
grams bought $lB million worth
of food from local markets. A
total of 1,775 schools with

TIPS ON GAINING WEIGHT
Persons who want to gain
weight often have trouble
building up their appetite and
capacity for food. Miss Nelle
Boyd, Nutritionist for the Un
iversity of Georgia Extension
Service, says this is to be ex
pected when a person has been
eating little for a long period
of time. Don’t try to eat large
amounts at first, she advises.
Those who need to gain should
start slowly, gradually increas
ing their capacity for food. It
may even be helpful to eat
several small meals a day in
stead of three large ones.
