4-H Club Tree
Appreciation Day
Friday, December 8 will be
4-H Club Tree Appreciation
Day in Georgia. The main
idea is for the 4-H Club mem
bers to distribute one tree each
to all the boys and girls of
school age in the state. Teach
ers and other friends of 4-H
Club members are also parti
cipating in the Tree Apprecia
tion Day, After the school chil
dren and friends receive their
seedling they are to plant it.
Several groups in the state
have endorsed this program.
Two state wide are the Geor
gia Bankers Association and the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federa
tion.
Newton County boys and
girls from the Ist through the
Bth grades will participate in
MIDDLE AGE AND BEYOND
By DR. H. t. COLLIER
usually begin between the ages of 40 and 50 a thorough Chiro
practic examination is advisable.
Certain diseases usually do not appear until later life and
then develop slowly. Hardening of the arteries, chronic kidney
disease, and extreme nervousness may gain headway in the
body before a person is aware that something is wrong. If the
trouble is detected in its early stages, an individual, by follow
ing his Chiropractor's instructions, may be able to continue to
work and to enjoy life for many years to come.
Modern Chiropractors meet the problem of disease of ill
ness through the physical and mechanical approach, rather than
through chemical or drug approach Under modern Chiropractic
the technique is painless. Frail, sick, aged and even infants are
cared for without pain. Its record in the alleviation of suffering,
and restoration of health is most gratifying.
(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 Stereet, Tel. 786—3905, Covington, Georgia.!

Food Prices
Many things go into the re
tail price of food than that re
ceived by the producers. Con
sider what it costs to package
the food item. This is just one
of the factors influencing the
retail price. On some food items
it costs as much to package as
the food costs itself.
Os every 20 dollars spent for
groceries, one dollar and 50
cents to two dollars is spent
just for packaging alone. This
is the average and of course
is lower in some cases and
higher in others.
Remember this. We are not
only buying food, we are buy-
Our body machinery runs night and
day from birth to death. No matter how
perfect it was to begin with or how we
take care of if, certain parts are apt to
show the effects of wear and fear during
middle age and beyond. This is one reason
why an annual examination by a Chiro
practor is particularly important for
fieople over 45. If we know what our
imitations are, we can learn how to adjust
our ways of living in order to avoid over
stepping them.

Animal Characteristics
Heredity and environment
are two factors that influence
every characteristic of a beef
ajiimal. If you are to engage in
a profitable beef animal en
terprise you must know about
each.
Her e d i t a r y characteristics
are those which are transmit
ted from parents to offspring.
Environment is the conditions
surrounding the growth, de
velopment, and performance of
an animal. Weather, feed,
health, the caretaker, and oth
er items come into play here.
Some characteristics can be
easily inherited while others
are rarely inherited.
Remember that you will
make more rapid progress in
improving future generations
if you limit your selection pro
gram to the fewest possible
number of desirable character
istics and make them the high
ly inherited ones.
Lime
Lime is essential to top crop
production. There are several
things that lime will do for
your crops. They are correction
of soil acidity, a source of plant
nutrients, makes other plant
nutrients available, and pro
motes bacterial growth.
The amount of lime to use
on your crops will depend on
several things. They are the
kind of crop, the type of soil,
the acidity of the soil, and the
amount of organic matter.
The only way to find out just
what amount of lime to apply
is by taking a soil test of your
fields. There is a possibility
that you will overlime if you
don’t know the correct amount
to use. Don’t be guessing when
you should be soil testing.

Farm Records
It won’t be too long before
you will be filing those income
tax forms. We hope that you
have been keeping a good set
of records so that you will have
all the information you will
need at your finger-tips.
This is just one good use for
farm records. Other uses in
clude information needed for
Social Security tax require

Another important use of
good farm records is their use
in making decisions that will
improve farm profits. With

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Home Demonstration Group Is
Touring Textile Companies
A group of Georgia home
demonstration agents and spe
cialists of the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service is touring cotton mills
in Thomaston and LaGrange
this week.
The tour started December
5 and will continue through
December 7.
Purpose of the study tour is
to give these Extension work
ers a better understanding of
the relationship between the
raw product, the manufacturer
and the sonsumer. It is sponr
sored by the American Cotton
Manufacturers Institute, Inc.,
and the Georgia Textile Manu
facturers Association, Inc., in
cooperation with textile indus
tries in Thomaston and La-
Grange.
During the three days the
group will see the entire pro
cess of manufacturing cotton
goods from the opening of the
bale to the finished products.
Directing the program is John
T. Wigington, director of the
Division of Technical Service,
ACMI, Clemson, S. C. Also
working with the group is Ri
chard H. Long, Extension cot
ton marketing specialist.
At Thomaston they were to
visit the B. F. Goodrich Tex
tile Products Co. and Thomas
ton Mills. In LaGrange their
host in Callaway Mills Co. The
Callaway Gardens Motel near
Pine Mountain is headquarters
for the entire program.
Accompanying the group are

Newly Found Germs Are
Talked About More and More
(Editor’s Note: This is one
in a series of articles about
your health which will appear
in The Covington News as a
public service feature.)
By The Medical Association
Os Georgia
A lot of new—or rather new
ly identified — germs are
around these days and some of
them have names that will
twist jusb about any tongue.
But don’t let the names scare
you. There are logical expla
nations for them.
Two of the most unusual
names are the Coxsackie and
ECHO —this is the shortened
form of the tongue twister —
viruses. These germs were
found and identified in the
course of research financed by
the March of Dimes which is
sponsored by The National
Foundation. Researchers, learn
ing to grow the polio virus
for study and experimentation,
separates the men from the
boys.
Don’t forget, too, the usage
they have in helping you plan
and acquire financing.
If your records are not as
good as they might be, plan to
start 1962 right by keeping a
good set of farm records.

Just Don't
Feel Right?
Nothing hurts you. You have
no fever. In fact, you have no
symptoms you can really talk
about. But you just don’t feel
right. Doctors call this feeling
“malaise.”
Sometimes the weather can
bring it on. Researchers have
discovered that many people
don’t feel quite well when the
barometric pressure is drop
ping. But they get over it when
the barometer rises once more.
Malaise can be a symptom of
serious trouble, though. It is
often the first warning sign of
many illnesses, from the com
mon cold to hepatitis. It is
particularly marked in that ail
ment of young adults, infecti
ous mononucleosis, when ma
laise persists for weeks.
If malaise hangs around for
more than a day or two, it is
time to go to your doctor. Don’t
feel embarrassed that you can’t
be more definite about what ails
you. Just tell him that you
have a general feeling of ma
laise and how long you’ve had
it.
Sometimes the doctor can’t
spot the underlying cause right
away. Then he will tell you
to wait for a day or two for
came upon other viruses as
well.
One of the virus families
they discovered is called Cox
sackie for the New York town
where the people in whom it
was first found lived. Coxsack
ie cause disease in several dif
ferent forms. But it frequently
causes fever and sore throat.
Doctors call this condition Her
pangina. The first four letters
refer to the “herps” or blisters
that often occur on the palate.
“Angina” refers to the pain.
In its most severe form, ill
ness caused by a Coxsackie
virus is called aseptic mengi
tis, a disease which occasion
ally causes paralysis. The oth
er symptoms—far more com
mon than paralysis—are high
fever, headache, vomiting and
a stiff neck. When the Cox
sackie virus causes paralysis,
physicians can distinguish the
disease it produces from polio
only through laboratory tests.
This virus may also cause a
flu-like disease and acute
pleurisy, sometimes called
“devil’s hand”.
ECHO viruses are sort of I
cousins to polio and Coxsackie
viruses but they can be dis
tinguished from their cousins
in the laboratory. In fact, they
are so unlike polio and Cox- I
sackie viruses that they are
called “orphans”. That’s what I
the “O” is ECHO stands for.
The “E” stands for “enteric” I
which means “intestinal.” The
viruses are found in the intes- I
tinal tract. “C” stands for “cy- I
topathogenic” which means
they cause trouble inside the I
cells. The “H” stands for “hu
man” and means the viruses I
are found in human beings.
ECHO viruses frequently I
cause respiratory illness as well I
as fever and sore throat. Of
tentimes a rash similar to that I
which occurs in measles ac- j
companies these symptoms I
Coxsackie viruses may also I
produce a rash but they do so
much less often than the ECHO
viruses. Like the Coxsackie I
viruses, the ECHOSs may also
cause aseptic meningitis.
Patients with disease caused I
by either Coxsackie or ECHO
viruses are treated for relief of
their symptoms. They are ad
vised to get plenty of rest in I
bed, to eat a light diet, take
aspirin, and drink plenty of
liquids. Antibiotics aren’t ef
fective against these viruses.
They may be used, however, if
a complication secondary in-1
section develops.
Doc MAG Savs:
1. You’ll probably be hear
ing more and more about new
ly identified germs in the fu
ture. Don’t let the unfamiliar
and often long names frighten
you. Learn what they mean
and if they strike you, you’ll
understand more about what
your body’s fighting.
2. Remember that antibiotics
are effective against many dis
eases but not against virus
cau’ed diseases. The Coxsackie
and ECHO germs are viruses.

Feeding separate and differ
ent rations to hens and toms
may well benefit turkey grow
ers. This is indicated by results
of turkey feeding trials con
ducted at the University of
Georgia’s College Experiment
Station at Athens by Research
Poultryman H. L. Fuller and
Extension Poultryman J. H.
Massey.
Pens of turkeys in confine
ment and other pens on range
were fed a protein-vitamin -
mineral concentrate and whole
grains in three different ways:
(1) free-choice, (2) limited -
choice, and (3) as all-mash.
During these trials hens on
all treatments gained about the
same amount. Since hens attain
mature weights at an earlier
age than toms, these poultry
men believe that it should be
practical to reduce the protein
and increase the energy in ra
tions fed the hens much earlier
than in rations fed toms.
Compared to other methods,
free-choice feeding produced
significantly greater weight
gains among all tom turkeys in
the trial and among the hens
grown indoors. Among the hens
on range, the limited - choice
and all - mash fed groups made
the greater gains.
For both hens and toms, feed
efficiency was greatest in the
all-mash fed groups and poorest
in the free-choice groups, both
in confinement and on range.
The uniformity of final body
weight of birds within groups,
a desirable quality in market
turkeys, was better in the lim-1
ited - choice and all-mash fed [
groups for both hens and
toms.
Weight gains by both toms |
and hens were greater on range
than in confinement. This may
have been due to crowded con
ditions in the indoor pens, al
though seven and a half square
feet space was provided each
bird.
more definite symptoms to ap
pear, But other times the doc
tor will find the cause of ma
laise before your illness has
progressed any further. Then
he can treat your ailment be
fore it gets much worse.
Remember, it isn’t normal to
feel not quite well. Give your
doctor a chance to do some
thing about it.
