Protecting Trees
If you're building a new
home or having work done on
the grounds, you'll want to
take steps to prevent injury
to trees on the lot.
We often pay a high price to
get trees and then by careless
ness and mistreatment injure
the trees so they die.
When construction begins on
the home, it is best to have a
temporary fence built around
the trees you want to keep.
This keeps the trees from in
jury by trucks, bulldozers or
other mechanical equipment.
When hardwood trees such as
oak, maple and elm are in
jured, disease attacks are in
vited. This is particularly true
with some rot diseases.
If the trunks of pine trees
are injured during warm
months, they should be spray
ed with a 1 percent solution of
B-H-C in oil or water. This
prevents beetle attacks. Wounds
of hardwood trees can be help
fully treated by applying a
germicidal dressing such as
o-range shellac.
Screw worms
Georgia farmers are urged
to be on the lookout for any
suspected signs of screw worm
infestations.
The alert was sounded by the
State Department of Agricul
ture after a case of screw
worm was found in Holmes
County, Florida a few days
ago. This was the first case re
ported since the eradication
program was completed a lit
tle over a year ago. The source
of the new infestation is not
known yet, but a new eradi
cation program in that area
has begun.

Pig Crop
Georgia's spring pig crop is
estimated at 1,197,000 head,
according to a Georgia Crop
Reporting Service report.
This number is a 6 percent
decrease from the number far
rowed during the spring of
1960.
Some 171,000 sows farrowed
from December Ist to June Ist
with an average of seven pigs
! per litter—a record high aver
age for Georgia. In 1960, far
rowings amounted to 184,000
sows with an average of 6.9
pigs per litter. Georgia ranked
10th in the nation and ex
ceeded all states outside the

Christmas Trees
Good demand for locally |
grown Christmas trees has re
sulted in a ready market for i
Georgia grown trees, according -
to Extension Forestry Market
ing Specialists.
Most members of the state’s
Christmas Tree Growers Asso
ciation report that their entire
production is already commit
ted for the coming Christmas
season.
This year, for the first time,
many of the better trees pro
duced by Association members
will bear a “Georgia Christ
mas Tree Growers Association’’
identification tag. The tag in
dicates that the tree has been
selected to meet quality stand
ards established by the Asso
ciation.
• • * ♦
Cattle Market
Heavy marketing of fed cat- j
tie during the past six weeks
has kept live prices of cattle
from following the usual up
ward seasonal price trend, ac
cording to Extension Livestock
Marketing Specialists.
This is the reason consumers
have been getting specials and
good buys at the beef counter
recently.
Improvement in the general
economic condition of the
country and seasonal increase
in employment has kept de
mand at a high level so sup
piles have not been too heavy
It now appears there will be
some seasonal decrease in cat
tle slaughter in the weeks
ahead.
Present prospects are for a
fairly normal seasonal price
pattern for all grades of cat
tle during the remainder of
the year. Higher feed prices ap
pear to be a certainty at this
time. Consequently, cattle
feeders will respond by paying
correspondingly less for feed
er cattle this fall.
* ♦ ♦ ♦
Cotton Harvest
In planning for the coming
cotton harvesting and ginning
season, consideration should be
given to the potential effects of
excessive moisture in seed
cotton.

Kedth Laws
Studied As A
Research Project
Georgia’s laws on public health,
from the earliest days of state
hood until the present, went under
study this week for a determina
tion of their effectiveness and
need for changes.
Dr. Philip Weltner, former presi
dent of Oglethorpe University and
long-time educator and lawyer, is
compiling the laws in a research
project for the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Health.
The project, which will continue
throughout 1961, will later be sub
divided into smaller research
groups composed of young 1 a w
yers across the state. Each group
will develop specific areas of the
I laws and work with local health
[ officials in determining necessary
i changes and additional laws, ac
cording to Dr. John Venable, direc
tor of the Department.
Dr. Weltner, who was born in
New York City but considers him
self a “native” of Augusta. Ga.,
where he grew up, graduated from
the University of Georgia in 1907.
He received his LL.B degree from
Columbia University in 1910, and
was admitted to the Georgia bar
the same year. He practiced law
in Atlanta until 1932. except for
a brief period in 1919-20 as the
first Secretary of the Board of
Welfare. (The Board later deve
loped into the present State De
partment of Public Welfare.) He
received his LL.B degree from
Oglethorpe University in 1933.
In 1932, Dr. Weltner became a
regent at large with the University
System of Georgia, and was chan
cellor of the University from 1933
to 1935. He later served during
the early years of World War II
as regional attorney with t h • of
fice of Price Administration.
Dr. Weltner was President of
Oglethorpe University from 1944 to
1953. Since retirement as presi
dent he has been active in com
munity planning in health and
health care. He is a consultant
for the Emily and Ernest W o o d
ruff Foundation. Atlanta, a health,
education, welfare organization.
Most recently he founded and di
! rected research for the Community
! Council of the Atlanta Area, Inc.
’ Dr. Weltner is a member of
’ Phi Delta Phi and Phi Beta
I Kapps fraternities.
