ROSE TIME IN THE DEEP SOUTH
Thomasville, the beautiful City of Roses, is abloom again
as festival time approaches. This year the Drums and Rosea
motif will set the stage, interweaving the Centennial theme
with the Rose Festival.
Each year Thomasville, noted for its miles of roses and
other flowering shrubs bordering the city streets, bursts into
bloom for an annual influx of 50,000 visitors on Rose Show
Day. Visitors, attracted from every state in the Union, come
expressly to view the biggest and most spectacular flower show
in the southeastern United States, and the biggest rose show
in the East.
The Rose Festival officially opens with a two-mile parade
on Friday morning, April 28. The parade features colorful
floats, marching bands with high-stepping majorettes, and beau
ty queens, including the Rose Queen, her court, entrants in the
“Mies Deep South” contest who represent surrounding towns
and states. Streets and store windows along the parade route
will be gaily festooned with banners and decorated with a pro
fusion of roses and other flowers.
Just before the parade begins, the "Rose Queen" will be
erowned under a canopy of roses.
At the magnificent Rose Show, which is held in the build
ings at the V.A. Domiciliary, another “Queen” is chosen—from
the thousands of individual rose blooms on display. Special
divisions are provided for artistic arrangements, table settings,
exhibits by clubs and commercial enterprises, and junior artistic
arrangements entered by the school children. Flowers in almost
every conceivable variety will be featured in the show. Displays
of paintings, ceramics and related arts will be additional at
tractions.
The flower show will be open to the public at 1 p.m. on
Friday following the parade.
Thomasville, in Southwest Georgia, is located on high
ways 19 from the north, 319 and 19 from the south, 84 from
the east, 27 and 84 from the west. Hospitality awaits you in
every motel, hotel and restaurant.

Ga. Cotton Goods
Output Reported
Georgia ranked third nation
ally in 1960 in the amount of
cotton broadwoven goods pro
duced by textile factories, ac
cording to the U. S. Department
of Commerce.
The state's total production
last year was 1,504,822,000
linear yards of all types of
these goods, ranging from 10,-
964,000 yards of napped fab
rics, blankets and blanketing to
160,352,000 of sheeting and al
lied coarse and medium yarn
fabrics, the report said.
Representing 87 per cent of
the national total, combined
textile mill production in Geor
gia, Alabama, Tennessee, North
Carolina and South Carolina of
cotton broad woven goods was
8,137,800,000 linear yards in
1960, the department figures
showed.
The record of drivers be
tween the ages of 18-25 im
proved during 1960 but they
still were involved in nearly
28 per cent of all fatal acci
dents—twice what their num
bers would warrant.

Study Analyzes Returns, Risks
Grazing and Feeding Beef Steers
How much can I increase my
farm income by adding a steer
grazing and feeding enterprise
to my farm operations
Georgia farmers asking this
question should carefully con
sider a number of economic
factors before building fences
and buying the steers, accord
ing to a recent study by Rob
ert B. Moss and N. D. Mc-
Rainey of the steer grazing
and feeding enterprise at the
Southwest Georgia Branch Ex
periment Station at Plains.
The steer enterprise was
added to the farm management
program at the Southwest sta
tion to (1) use farm resources
more fully, (2) glean fields and
graze forage crops, and (3)
provide an additional source of
farm income.
Analysis of the enterprise at
the Southwest station shows
that the 444 steers grazed and
fed over the five-year period,
1954-58, returned an average
net income of $18.19 per head.
Average returns per dollar of
total cost ranged from a low of
80 cents to a high of $1.25,
thus the enterprise lost money
one year of the five.
Data obtained from this
study indicate that about 55
steers would be required to
realize SI,OOO net income un
der this management system.
Total expenses for an operation
of this scale would amount to
$9,222 annually.
A similar operation which
would pay only the fixed costs
for fences and a hammer mill
would require a minimum of
16 steers and annual cash ex
penses of about $2,600.
Moss and Mcßainey point out
that farmers considering such
an enterprise for their farms
must recognize that the initial
investment in such physical
facilities as fences and a ham
mer mill are high and that
such investment is practically
non-recoverable if the enter
prise is discontinued and not
replaced by a comparable en
terprise.
They also point out that such
an enterprise requires a vast
amount of knowledge regard
ing the buying, feeding and
selling of cattle and that de
pendable labor with close su
pervision is required for suc
cess.
“The price spread between
the purchasing and selling
price per hundredweight and
the weight of the steers pur
chased in relation to the price
spread are highly important
factors in making a profit
from feeding and grazing
steers,” they explain. “With a
wide positive spread between

recorded an all - time high.
The total national product,
for example, went over $500,-
000,000,000 for the first time,
a total of $503,200,000,000,
4.4 per cent higher than 1959.
Industrial production, too,
was at a record high, an in
dex of 108 based on a 1957
base level of 100. Total per
sonal income was for the
first time over $400,000,000,-
000, a total of $404,200,000,-
000. of which $354,200,000,-
000 was ‘disposable income.’

purchasing and selling prices,
it would be more profitable to
purchase heavier weight steers
than if a narrow spread existed.
When a negative spread be
tween purchasing and selling
price existed, the net returns
per steer were also negative in
this study.”

dy is available in Georgia Ag

YOUR BODY AND YOUR CAR
Sy Or. H. E. Collier
In an analogous fashion the human body approximates the
motor car. The nerves of the body carry the "electricty" to
supply the necessary stimuli to different parts of the body. If
there is any interference with normal transmissions of these
impluses, the organ inervated "stalls” until it again receives
its normal quota of impulses.
Hence, just as one has one's car thoroughly overhauled
yearly at least, so it is but common sense to have a mechanic
to look over your body at least once a year. Your body Mechan
ic is your Chiroprator.
(One of a series of articles published in the public interest
to explain and illustrate the practice of scientific Chiropractic,
written by Dr. H. E. Collier whose office is located at 101
E. Conyers St., Tel. 786-3905, Covington, Georgia.)

Even if you bought the most perfect
gasoline and motor oil, your automobik
would stall if through failure of operatioi
of the electric system, the spark plugs dis
not produce the electric spark at the exac
time and point necessary for ignition
Therefore, if your car stalls, your median
ic examines the car not only to see if ga>
and oil are flowing readily, but also K
see if there is anything wrong with the
wiring system. For if the wires are not
just right or if there is a short, the elec
tricity cannot reach the point it should
serve.
