Selling Hoge For What
They Are Worth
If you are producing hogs
you should be selling them for
their quality and not for the
average price of hogs.
Most hogs in the state are
being sold according to weight
rather than quality, but this is
not the best method because
all hogs of a certain weight
are not worth the same per
hundred.
The State Barrow Show in
Americus has demonstrated
that some hogs are worth as
much as four dollars more per
hundred live than other hogs
of the same weight.
There are several factors
that make the difference in
value such as dressing percen
tage, natural muscling, back
fat thickness, size of jowl, and
size of head.
The meat type hog is 9 2 per
cent fat, and the fat type hog
is 15.7 per cent fat. If you look
at the actual value there is
$1.76 difference per hundred
weight. These figures are from
the State Barrow Show at
Americus.
It might truly pay you to
look into selling hogs for their
quality rather than the aver
age price of hogs.
Corn’s Nitrogen
Deficiency Signs
A corn plant will tell you if
it doesn’t have enough nitro
gen.
If the tips of the mid-ribs of
lower leaves turn yellow; if
this yellowing moves down to
ward the base of the leaf; if
this yellowing moves out to
ward the leaf’s edges; if final
ly the entire leaf shrivels and
dies; and if leaves higher up
on the stalk die, your corn plant
is suffering from lack of ni
trogen.
To distinguish from dry
weather signs you must notice
that firing due to nitrogen de
ficiency occurs first on the
older leaves. Dry weather signs

Porterdale, were interested to

and graduation from Shorter

SCHOOL NEWS
First Grade
Mrs. Ramsey
There were several people
in our class this year who did
not miss but one day, but we
ended the year with four peo
ple who had perfect attend
ance. They were presented a
certificate on Friday, the clos
ing day of school. They were
Nancy Armstrong. Rita Rut
ledge, Cecil Waldrop, Jr., and
Carol Dobbs.
We are grateful to all the
people who have helped make
our first year of school such a
happy one. About a dozen
mothers sent or brought us
treats the last two weeks of
school. We did enjoy and ap
preciate this. On last Thurs
day we went to our teacher’s
home for lunch. We were seat
ed on the side porch and ter
race where we enjoyed hot
dogs, slaw, potato chips, Coca-
Colas, ice cream and chocolate
cake. We played games in the
back yard. Then we went in
the house and had stories and
sang songs before we walked
back to school. On the way
back to school we enjoyed
chewing gum. We arrived back
at school and found Viva's
mother waiting for us with a
surprise of lemonade.
We have worked real hard
this year and we are ready for
a summer vacation. We talked
about being safe and observ
ing all the safety rules this
summer. We also want to go
to the Newton County Library
and read enough books to re
ceive a reading certificate next
fall.

Forest Fires
The number of forest fires
in 1961 in Georgia increased,
but the acreage burned de
creased.
You can tell by this that the
Georgia Forestry Commission
is doing an excellent job of
controlling the fires that do
break out. However, there are
still too many fires in the
state
Debris burning was listed as
the main cause of the fires last
year. In fact more than one
out of every three woodlands
fires were started in this man
ner. This has been the major
cause for some time, and it is
something that everyone can
do something about.
Winter Feeding of Cattle
With all this hot weather
that we have had this Spring
I know you are not making too
many plans for the Cold winter
months.
But, you should be at least
planning for these upcoming
months of Winter especially if
you will be feeding cattle
through them.
If you are a good cattleman
you will make your plans now
to include an ample supply of
good roughage for this Winter.
This roughage is a necessity
for a brood cow herd, and it
is always good insurance for
long, difficult Winters.
For additional help on
roughage why not contact my
office?
Shrubs Failing to Flower
Many shrubs will not bloom
until they are several years
old. This is especially true if
your shrub is growing at a fast
rate.
If your plant is growing un
der ideal conditions in a good
soil and with proper fertiliza
tion, your plant may not bloom
because of the excessive grow
th.
If your plant is located in
dense shade, it may be delayed
from flowering. This is parti
cularly true with roses and
crape myrtle.
If you have waited a reason
able length of time and your
plant still hasn’t flowered, you
may root-prune it to shock it
into the reproductive cycle.
To do this you cut the outer
roots with a sharp instrument
in a circle around the plant to
a depth of six to eight inches.
This will reduce the growth of
the plant, also.
Better Forest Practices
If you visit your Bank the
week of May 21 you will find
a very descriptive exhibit on
forest management practices.
This exhibit is sponsored by the
Georgia Rankers Association
and the Georgia Forest Indus
tries Committee.
This exhibit will show t h e
six-step forest management
program which is recommended
by the Extension Service.
Check to determine if you are
following the program of pre
vention and control of fires, re
forestation. timber stand im
provement. diversified utiliza
tion, good harvesting practices,
and wise selling practices.
These are the six objectives of
ths six-step forest management
program.
Chemical Cotton Defoliation
It’s too early to defoliate cot
ton. but it’s not too early to
make your plans for this year’s
operation.
Cotton should be defoliated
after the cotton is mature bu*
still in an active growing con
dition. Bolls must be mature
enough so that yields will not
be reduced or the fiber and
seed quality lowered.
You may think that defolia
tion is for the one who plans on
using mechanical harvesters.
. jut benefits may also be de
rived by the grower who plans
to pick his cotton by hand.
Defoliation allows more a i r
movement and sunlight expo
sure which helps reduce boil
rot and fiber or seed deterior
ation. Defoliation also reduces
the insect number and permits
earlier stalk destruction.
For additional information
on chemical cotton defoliation
contact my office.
Storing Woolens
Clean and moth-proof win
ter woolens before storing them
for the summer. Sprav a five
percent DDT solution on walls,
baseboards, floors and other
surfaces of closets to be used
for storage If clothing is stor
ed in a trunk, chest or wooden
box. scatter about a pound of
moth flakes between folds of
clothing, suggest Miss Leonora
Anderson. Extension clothing

Grier Stephenson
Is Charter Member
Davidson Frat.
“In our culture where we
;have been educated to think of
' change and progress as always
good, there are still some things
— perhaps the things of great
est value - that do not change.”
So said Dr. James E. Foy, di
rector of Student Affairs at Au
’ burn University, Auburn, Ala.,
: recently in presenting Davidson
College the 114th charter grant
ed an American higher educa
tional institution by Phi Eta
Sigma, national freshman hon
or society.
“The things Phi Eta Sigma
stand for,” he added, — "Dis •
cipline of mind and body and
good character - no matter
what comes to pass, these at
tributes will always remain
worthwhile.”
He, as grand secretary of the
honor society, presented the
Phi Eta Sigma charter to Dr.
D. Grier Martin, president of
Davidson College following the
induction of 46 Davidson stu
dents into the newly formed
chapter.
"Before Phi Eta Sigma there
were many ways of recogniz
ing poor performance by col
lege freshmen and none for re
cognizing excellence,” Dr. Foy
said.
The society is strictly hon
orary. Its members are chosen
from among college freshmen
