Best Tim* for Calving
The best time for calving in
Georgia seems to be from Oc
tober through February. This
development was rec• nll y
found in research accumulated
on the Georgia Performance
Testing Program.
Data was collected on 9,158
calves, and this data revealed
that calves dropped from Oc
tober through February were
the heaviest at 205 days of age.
August calves were the light
est at 205 days. To be specific,
all October calves adjusted to
205 days of age weighed 393
pounds, while the August calves
weighed 323 pounds.
Remember that the best time
for the calf crop to drop is
early enough ahead of the
peak grazing season so that the
calf is old enough for himself
snd his mother to benefit the
most when maximum grazing
arrives, and when average tem
peratures are not too extreme.
Calcium and C*tton
The available supply of cal
cium in the soil has an effect
upon the vegetative growth
and fruiting habits of the cot
ton crop.
A low amount of calcium re
sults in the large plants and
few fruit buds. If too much

PROTEIN IN THE DIET
Did you realize that you are
a super package of protein?
Next to water, protein is the
most plentiful substance in the
body. There ar* several dozen
different proteins in th* blood
alone. One of the busiest is
hemoglobin. This complex pro
tein moves oxygen from the
lungs to the tissues and brings
carbon dioxide back from the
tissues to th* lungs. This is one
of the many proteins that help
us live.
Some proteins ar* always
breaking down while others
are being built as replace
ments. This is why the body
must be supplied protein every
day even though we might be
past the growing age.
Me; t, fish, poultry, eggs,
milk, cheese and a few of the
legumes contain good proteins.
Near the top of the list in
terms of nutritive value are the
proteins in milk. Meat is also
high on the scale. It’s a good
idea to have a mixture of pro
teins in the daily diet. This
means that both animal and
vegetable sources of protein
should be included for best
growth and development.
Make it a point to put ade
quate protein foods in the
family diet.

calcium is present in th* soil,
the cutton plant will be small
and will stimulate early and
have abundant fruiting.
A concentration of calcium
near the germinating seed in
creases seedling vigor and
helps reduce th* incidence of
seedling diseases. Research has
also shown that a decrease in
seedling disease losses where
the soil was limed properly
compared to unlimed plots.
Nematodes in Garden
Practically every garden in
this county contains nematodes.
In fact, they are probably the
greatest single caus* of reduced
yield in home gardens.
Why ar* nematodes a prob
lem here’
Most home gardners are not
too familiar with nematodes
and their injury, and so they
do not worry about them. Al
most every vegetable in this
area is susceptible, so you can
see why all the yields in a gar
den may be lowered. One large
reason for nematodes in this
area is that gardens are plant
ed on the same plot year after
year. This allows a rapid build
up when nematodes are not
controlled.
Speaking of controlling nem-
HOUSEFLY ERADICATION
No more houseflies? What a
blessing!
This is not quite the case yet
but a lot of work u going into
projects that may someday
mak* that a tru* statement.
Entomologists report that cer
tain chemical* induce sterility
in houseflies, mosquito*#, th*
Mexican fruit flies and other
insects.
In a preliminary field test on
a small uninhabited Florida Is
land, Agricultural Research
Entomologists almost wip*d
out a population of houseflies
with bait containing a chern
osterilant. At the end of th*
fifth week of th* test, only a
few flies could found and
99-percent of these captured
were sterile. This are* was
soon repopulated, however,
from nearby islands and the
Florida mainland.
The eradication effort does
have bright prospects, how
ever, and maybe they will soon
have these pests out of our
way.
DIETS OF OLDER WOMEN
While we might have lived
by a standard diet for many
years, it doesn’t necessarily
mean that it’s completely ade
quate, say nutritionists. It’s
never too late in life to start
eating better.
Studies have been made in
this area in looking for a clue
to a longer life sipan for every
one. It has been found that old
er women were not eating ade
quate meals. Their diets fre
quently lacked sufficient vi
tamins and minerals.
It was found in one study of
32 women that 41- percent of
the group was not getting
enough calcium, 51-percent
lacked a third of the vitamin
A needed, 65-percent lacked a
third of the needed amounts of
iron, and 37-percent lacked
a third of the B vitamins.
These older women tend to
eat fewer calories as they grew
older. This is good because
people use less energy as they
advance in years. What this
group apparently fails to rea
lize is that the same amount of
nutrients is needed as when
they were younger.
Count your calories on one
hand and the amount of nu
trients too. Both are important.
TO THE CALORIE COUNTER
If a food is thin, watery,
bulky or has lots of fiber or
coarseness, and watery crisp
instead of greasy crisp, it is
relatively low in calories.
However, if a food is thick,
oily or greasy crisp, slick,
smooth or gooey, sweet or
sticky and compact, it is rela
tively high in calories.
How much energy value
would you assign to a choco
late fudge cake, a dish of fresh
strawberries, a brownie or a
cracker?
THIS WEEK'S TIP
Soap, water and the beat of

Timber and bieeme Tax
If you sold timber during
1961, then take advantage of
capital gains provision when
preparing your income tax.
Os course you must have ade
quate and proper records of
timber expenditures in order to
get full benefits under the tax
law.
You may be paying more tax
on your timber income than
you should legally. Failure to
deduct an allowance for de
pletion is responsible for this.
Make sure you check into
this if you sold timber during
1961.
Byrd Brothers
Continued From Page t
Friday, told the jury Byrd had
struck her and pulled her hair
and had put a shotgun to her
head while they were dating.
“I was scared to go with him
and I was scared not to,” she
said. Dorothy Sue said on the
night Henderson and his 14-
year-old brother were slain
Byrd forced her at gunpoint to
tell tlxe boys to get into his car
at a drive-in theater.
‘‘l done what he told me
’cause I didn’t want to get
killed . . . Who wouldn’t be
scared of him?” she asked in
almost a whisper.
She said Byrd, accompanied
by his brother Richard, told
the boys he was not going to
hurt them.
At the scene of the slaying.
Dorothy Sue said Byrd called
her out of the car, pointed the
gun at her, and asked her if
she had had sexual relations
with the Henderson boys and
Mike Flanagan, who was
wounded seriously in the shoot
ing.
She said she nodded. She said
she laid her head on Richard
Byrd's shoulder and that
Charles slapped her. She said
she then got back into the car
and buried her face in her
hands because “I couldn't
watch him kill nobody.”
After th* shooting Dorothy
Sue said »he felt “like 1 was
gonna faint.” She Mid she later
fainted at Byrd’s home and that
Byrd began slapping her in the
face. She said he tried to em
brace her and “I pushed him
away.”
When she pushed him away,
Dorothy Sue said, Byrd went
into the living room and loaded
his shotgun. When he did this,
Dorothy Sue said, she jumped
off the bed and “hugged his
neck and started loving him.
I thought he was going to kill
me.”
Several weeks before the
shooting, Dorothy Sue said, she
told Byrd of having sexual re
lations with several boys and
Byrd questioned her about
whom she had been going with.
After her testimony, Doro
thy Sue returned to her seat and
spent most of the day biting
her fingernails and staring at
the floor.
Dorothy Sue showed little
emotion except when the jury
was charged by Judge Guess.
Then she buried her face in
her hand* and wept.
Another key defense witness
Friday was Richard Byrd, 15.
He testified that his brother
Charles had a violent nature
and that he once “took off aU
my clothes, threw gas on me
and said he was going to set
me on fire.”
Richard said he begged for
his life and Charles relented
Richard said on the night of the
slaying he sat in the car and
listened to the victims beg for
their lives. According to Rich
ard, the boys said, “Honest, we
didn’t do it”
Richard Byrd said, “I pray
ed to the Lord that he (Charl
es) would not shoot them. I
started to stop him.”
When the shooting started.
Richard said, “I don’t know
why, but I couldn’t move.”
After the shooting, according
to Richard, one of the boys
jumped up and ran away, and
Charles shouted, “Boy, if you’ll
come back, I won’t hurt you.”
He said Charles later told
him and Dorothy Sue, “For
God’s sake, I hope I didn't kill
those boys.”
Richard said Dorethy Sue
later fainted and when she
failed to respond to Charles’
slapping Charles said, “I might
as well go get my gun.”
And, according to Richard,
Dorothy Sue “jumped up and
thev started loving each other.”
Two psychiatrists testified
that Dorothy Sue has an IQ of;
60, which means, they said, \
that she is a moron and has I
the mental capacity of an 8
1/2 year-old child.
Dr. Charles Bell testified I
that the girl was “unstable
emotionally” and “would com
ply with wishes of people
whose favors she wished to
gain.”
He said Dorothy Sue knows

right from wrong.
Dr. Charles Fulghum testi
fied that Dorothy Sue was
“very unintelligent” and ap
peared to be easily frightened
but had “ a very keen sense of
right and wrong.”
Mrs. Ma* Bradford, uster
in-law of Dorothy Sue, said
the girl appeared to be very
frightened of Charles Byrd and
that she once saw Charles
throw a live squirrel on the
girl and throw firecrackers at
her and point a pistol at her.
She said she once saw Byrd
for no reason at all draw a
rifle in the living room of his
house and shoot through the
ceiling.
Mrs. Bradford said Dorothy
Sue once went to a dance and
she asked Dorothy Sue if she
danced with anyone besides
Charles Byrd. She said the girl
replied, “No. I’m not r*ady to
die yet.”
Other neighbors testified
that they had seen Charles
Byrd mistreat the girl and that
she appeared to be very fright
ened of him.
In rebuttal, the defense call
ed the wounded boy, Mike
Flanagan, to the stand and
asked him if he had ever had
sexual relations with Dorothy
Sue. Mike said he had never
had sexual relations with any
one. i

1959 that affirms the right ot
each state to determine voter
qualifications.
Unfortunately, tn our country
many in high office have forgot
ten constitutional principles.
This is particularly true during
election years. Many members
in the Congress have made po
btical careers by misleading th*
so-called minority voters in th*
name of civil rights. Since thia
is an election year, we must
again face the civil rights issue.

THE MAJORITY Leader has
now introduced a bill in th*
Congress that would completely
disregard and vielate the Con
stitution. This potential legis
lation would make a sixth grad*
education sufficient for voting
qualifications throughout th*
country. The Constitution can
be amended only by a vote of
two-thirds of the Congress and
ratified by three-fourths of th*
states. The Executive, Legisla
tive and Judicial Branches all
combined cannot amend th*
Constitution. Yet this bill would
attempt to do so by legislation
alone.
It is inconceivable to me how
anyone could attempt to surpass
Earl Warren’s Supreme Court
in striking down the few re
maining rights of the states.
The members of the Senate who
feel as I do will exercise every
weapon and resource at our com
mand in fighting this unconstitu
tional and vicious piece of pro
posed legislation.
