A Fert and A Plantation !
By: Charles E. Hooper
In these modern days and
times you have to look long and
hard to find a plantation in the
style of a “Cecil B. DeMille’’
production. However, on the
Isle of Hope out from Savan
nah. Georgia. there is a plan
tation home and grounds “just
like the movies’’. . . but it’s real
and authentic. It’s Wormsloe
Plantation and was so named
because at one time mulberry
trees were planted on the plan
tation for the culture of silk
worms.
In 1733, General Oglethorpe
selected this property as a site
for a garrison. It was strategi
cally situated on the inland wa
terway' leading south to Span
ish territory. The house, over
looking the Isle of Hope River,
still contains marble mantels
and other fine interior detail.
The grounds, carpeted with
large leaf Algerian ivy, are
shaded by lofty oaks which
form a dark setting for t h e
azalea and camellia bushes,
many that grow as tall as young
trees. An oak bordered drive
leads more than a mile from
the arehed entrance gate to
Fort Wimberly. This fort is a
ruined tabby fortification that
was built in 1741 to replace the
earlier wooden structure guard
ing the narrows of the Skida
way River. It was this later
fort, equipped with four brass
cannon, that Mary Jones de
fended from a Spanish and In
dian attack.
Tiie fort was approximately
thirty feet square and in places
the ruined walls stand as high
as eight feet. Although the
tabby walls have been weath
ered for nearly two centuries,
the embrasures through which
Colonist fired are still distinct.
Wormsloe is not only known
for its beautiful manor house,
fort and garden*, but aha for its
unusually fine library. This
early plantation has one of the
finest historical collections in
the state of Georgia. Rare vol
umns. maps, old documents,
manuscript and engravings
form a special collection that
can now be found at the Uni
versity of Georgia Library at
Athens.
This eight hundred aere es
tate contains perhaps the best
Damage to Young
Pines May Be
Caused by Moth
Browning of branch tips of
young pine trees, which has
caused many inquiries by land
and home owners this summer,
is most likely caused by t h e
Nantucket pine tip moth, a for
ester said this week.
This meth seldom causes any
permanent damage. The main
problems caused by its attack
on young pines are reduction
of height growth, the bushy ef
fect caused when damage is
severe and the unattractive ap
pearance of the browned tips,
according to Extension Forester
George D Walker of the Uni
versity of Georgia College of
Agriculture.
To tell whether damage h
caused by the Nantucket t i p
moth, Mr. Walker said, break
open the dead tip. The tip moth
larvae or grub feeds on t h *
inside of the tender shoot. This
feeding usually kills the branch
ends causing browning.
He said that tip moth dam
age is usually most noticeable
in young planted stands er on
yard trees. Loblolly and short
leaf pines are most commonly
attacked. Pines as high as 13
feet are not bothered because
the moth does not fly high
above the ground.
High value or yard trees may
be protected, but no control is
recommended for forest trees
or plantation*, he said spray
applications of BHC or DDT
are recommended for control.
There are several generations
of the moth each year, so zpray
applications must be made
every three or four months
during the growing season.
County agents can give de
tailed recommendations on
spray formulations to use, the
forester suggested.

Children Must Enjoy
Books First
Children can grow up with a
love for books if they are given
those they can enjoy, the Direc
tor of the School of Librarian
ship at Emory University, Mils
Evalene Jackson says.,
“There are many people who
might have been reader* if they
had ever had any experience
with books, in enjoying books.
With children in particular, in
their voluntary readme, their
ability to enjoy is usually con
tingent on their ability to iden
tify with the character*.”
This is the reason Miss Jack
son believes that children as
they grow up ought to have ac
cess to contemporary works as
well as the classic* for their
“pleasure” reading. It is often
difficult for them to identify
with many of the characters in
some older works.

Treat Now to Stop AHalfa
Weevil, Entomologist Advises
Fall treatment of alfalfa
fields by October 15 if possi
ble, to prevent damage by the
alfalfa weevil has become a
necessary part of growing thia
crop.
Dr. C. R Jordan, head of
the Extension entomology de
partment, University of Geor
gia College of Agriculture, said
that experience in the last few
years has shown that farmer*
can expect severe damage every
year by this insect pest unless
they treat their fields in the
fall with heptachlor granules.
This is true of both old and
new stands.
The insect will destroy the
first cutting and often th* sec
ond cutting. The entire stand
will be lost in one or two years
without control measures, he
zaid.
The only alternative to fall
treatment is spraying two or
three times in the spring with
malathion. This treatment is
mor* expensive, more trouble
and less effective than fall
treatment, the entomologist
pointed out.
Research and experience
have shown that the use of
heptachlor strictly in accord
ance with recommendations
will not result in detectable
residues on hay cut th* follow
ing spring.
Dr. Jordan said alfalfa fields
in Georgia should be |r*ated
between October 1 and October
15, if possible, in the following
way:
“Broadcast 40 pounds of 3
1/2 percent heptachlor granul
es per acre, which gives the
desired rate of one pound of
actual heptachlor per acre. If
for some reason the abeve
treatment can not be applied
People Can Become
Outmoded Too!
“If they are not careful, peo
ple can become as outmoded in
a few years as any of *u» tech
nological equipment,” Thoma.i
E. McDonough, director of
physical education it Emory
University says.
“Variety in inieratta i« a
matter of keeping alive,” h«
adds.
As a member of th* National
Youth Fitness Committee of th*
Amateur Athletic Union of th*
U. B, Mr. McDonough u a firm
b*li*ver in keeping fit.
"It’s a matter of habit. W*
should exercise every day a*
