FERTILIZING PASTURES
Choosing and applying the
right ratio of fertilizers is an
important step in having good
pastures, say agronomists with
the Cooperative Extension
Service. They explain that the
right ratio is just as important
as applying the right amount,
and add that the way to de
termine both of these require
ments is to make a soil test.
The main purpose of thin
ning pines, say Cooperative
Extension Service foresters, is
to give the good trees suffi
cient room to develop and
maintain good crowns.

Choose Good Land for Corn,
Then Prepare It Carefully
By ED HUNT
(County Agent)
Soil is the first step in the Mas
ter Corn Program because the
selection of a good productive soil
is the basic step in growing high
per-acre yields of corn and re
ducing costs of production. In a
detailed study made of 50 corn
fields in the state it was found
that variation in soil was one of
the outstanding factors in limiting
production. Georgia farmers in
the past few years have made a
practice of selecting good aoil for
corn and this has certainly con
tributed to the increases in yields.
Choose Fertile Soil
Farmers participating in the
Master Corn Program this year
should first of all select corn land
that, with proper preparation and
fertilization, will produce at least
60 bushels of corn per acre. This
means that they should choose
loamy soils that are fertile and
which are well drained. Bottom
lands and productive uplands
which meet these conditions are
well adapted to corn production.
Soil suited to corn production
should be well supplied with ni
trogen, phosphorus, potassium and
other plant nutrients. Presence of
organic matter in the soil also is
important.
Break Thoroughly
After a good soil has been se
lected good preparation of it is
necessary. Land for corn should
be thoroughly broken to a depth
of not less than six inches.
If there is a good growth of le
gumes, cover crops, or crop resi
due on the soil selected plowing
should be done early enough for
this materia] to decay before
planting. An application of 30
pounds of nitrogen per acre before
plowing will speed up decomposi
tion of plant residue.
Plow Early
Land with winter legumes
should be plowed when the cover
crop has reached full flower. This
plowing should be done at least
two to three weeks before planting
the com.
If the land is plowed early the
surface should be left rough until
final seedbed preparation. This
will reduce erosion and aid in
holding moisture in the soil.
The application of manure will
improve corn soil and farmers who
have poultry flocks should use the
manure to advantage in corn pro
duction. If manure is used it
should be broadcast and worked
into the soil before planting.
Get Better Stands
Final seedbed preparation
should be accomplished by har
rowing. Rolling may be necessary
to pulverize the soil sufficiently.
The farmer who takes the time
and effort to do a good job of soil
preparation will get a better stand
which requires less cultivation
than he can hope for on poorly
prepared soil.

SOIL MANAGEMENT
Corn yields of 20 to 30 bush
els per acre are not economi
cal in Newton County, accord
ing to Ed Hunt, county agent.
He says that the primary aim
of the Master Com Program
is to correct this situation. Se
lection of good soil for com is
VA Reports New
Home Loon
Requests Down
Appraisal requests for new
Homes were down and exist
ing homes were up in February
from the January totals, the
Veterans Administration re
ported today. VA starts rose
but applications for home loan
guaranty declined.
Appraisal requests for new
dwellings decreased from 489
in January to 373 in February.
Appraisal requests for existing
units increased from 241 in
January to 267 in February,
A. W. Tate, Manager, Veterans
Administration Regional Of
fice, Atlanta, Georgie, said.
VA starts increased from
219 in January to 252 in Feb
ruary, and applications for
home loan guaranty dropped
from 450 in January to 427 in
February.
The seasonally adjusted an
nual rate for VA starts drop
ped from 292 in February. Ap
praisal requests for new units
on a seasonally adjusted an
nual rate basis were 463 in
February compared to 469 in
January, and existing units
were up to 248 from 244 in
January.
L
the first step toward produc
tion of economical yields.
Management of the soil will
determine how much com can
be grown economically, the
county agent continued. Ac
cording to result demonstra
tions conducted in this county
in years past, the only way to
raise 60 bushels or more per
acre is to start witih the soil
and manage it properly.
On fertile, well-drained soil
that is prepared properly,
farmers can grow 60 bushels
of corn per acre for a total
cost of about 75 cents per
bushel, according to the coun
ty agent. This total cost figure
includes costs of land rent, la
bor, fertilizer, seed, one-half
of cover crop cost, if any, and
allows 10 percent for over
head.
The county agent says that
successful corn producers in
the county do a thorough job
of soil preparation before
planting corn. That is, they do
most of the work before plant
ing the crop. He points out that
if this is done the amount of
labor required later is re
duced considerably.
“Turn land and then harrow
into a firm seedbed. That is
the way to grow corn,” he as
serts.
Needy Mothers Should
Have Society's Help
Many of the sociological,
economic and health problems
normally associated with the
poor bear some relationship to
care for mothers and their in
fants.
This is a fact our society
should face Dr. Dan Thompson,
chairman of the department of
gynecology and obstetrics at
Eimory University feels.
“The needy pregnant patient
in our society has the greatest
problems, she is more likely to
be anemic, to have children
very close together and to have
them both early and late in
life. She needs good care very
badly but is less likely to get it
than private patients.
“She is likely to have pre
mature and physically weak
infants, more susceptible to
disease and less able to com
pete later in life,” he says.

Georgia Patrol
Chief Urges Use
Os Safety Belts
ATI.ANTA — Under a bill
passed by the recent Legisla
ture, no “new private passeng
er automobile can be sold to
the general public in Georgia
on and after Jan. 1, 1964, un
less the vehicle is equipped
with two sets of safety belts
for the front seat.
But what about cars present
ly in use and those that will
be sold prior to Jan. 1?
‘They ought to be equipped
with them, too,” declared Col.
H. Lowell Conner, director of
the Georgia Department of
Public Safety, a first believer
in safety belts as a deterrent
to serious injury or death in
case of a traffic accident.
“While the new law does
not become until Jan 1, pres
ent car owners and those who
purchase cars this year would
do well to have seat belts in
stalled. The cost is nominal
and it would be the best in
vestment a motorist could
make for his safety in case of
an accident. We are sure use
of them—and they are no good
on a car unless they are used— ■
will cut down on serious in- j
juries and deaths When aoci- i
dents occur.”
All state patrol cal's are
equipped with safety belts
and patrolmen are under strict
orders to use them at all times,
Col. Conner said.
Georgia's corn record! go back
to 1866. The state's average per ;
acre yield that year was 6 bushels I
per acre.
