Stores Can Make
Clean-Up a Fire
Prevention Job
Retail stores that are co
operating in our community's
Clean-Up Week campaign are
being asked to instruct their
employees in fire prevention
techniques as part of clean-up
week activities.
The suggestion comes from
the National Board of Fire Un
derwriters which has prepared
a checklist for use in retail
establishments. The 9-point list
stresses both good house-keep
ing and employee education.
This is the list:
1. Be sure all emergency
exits m the store are clearly
marked.
2. See to it that all aisles and
exits are kept free from ob
structions.
3. Empty packing cases, car^
tons and waste materials should
be disposed of promptly as
goods are unpacked.
4 Back rooms and cellars
should be cleared of flamma
ble materials every day.
5. Use only non-flammable
or at least slow-burning ma
terials for store decorations
and keep the decorations away
from electric light bulbs or
other sources of ignition.
fl Employ only qualified
electricians to install new wir
ing or extensions.
Designate Smoking Arens
7, Allow smoking only in
specially designated areas
8 Explain to employees that
panic can cause as many in
juries or deaths as fire itself.
If fire should break out in one
■ section of the store, clerks
। should urge customers to re
mam calm and file outside
, quickly but in an orderly sash-
THE COVINGTON NEWS
High Analysis
Fertilizer Use
Boosted in Ga.
Georgia farmers are making
considerable progress in shift
ing to the use of high analy
sis fertilizers, reports P J.
Bergeaux, Extension Service
agronomist at the University
of Georgia College of Agri
culture.
In 1950, he said, over 600.-
000 tons of low analysis fer
tilizers such as 4-8-6 and 4-8-8
were sold with practically no
high analysis fertilizers such
as 4-12-12 or 5-10-15 being
used. By 1960. however, sale
of 4-8-6 and 4-8-8 had drop
ped to 26.000 tons, and over
800,000 tons of 4-12-12 and
5-10-15 were sold.
“The main reason for this
shift to high analysis fertiliz
ers,” Mr. Bergeaux said, “was
the increased use of soil test
ing to determine fertilizer
needs.” In the ten-year period
from 1950 to 1960 soil sam
ples analyzed increased from
15.000 to 45.000.
One of the many Georgia
farmers who switched to high
analysis fertilizers, the agron
omist reported, was Millard
Braswell, Jackson County. In
1950, his first year on his pre
sent farm. Mr. Braswell ferti
lized his corn with 400 pounds
of 4-8-6 fertilizer and side
dressed it with an additional
40 pounds of nitrogen per
acre. That year he averaged 45
bushels of corn per acre.
Mr. Braswell soon began us
ing higher analysis fertilizers,
switching first to 2-12-12 and
then to 4-12-12 He now bases
his fertilizer use on soil test
results and crop removal fer
tilizer elements. He now aver
ages around 80 bushels of corn
per acre and has averaged as
high as 150 bushels per acre
on a ten-acre field.
9 Give instructions to all
clerks and other employees on
how to handle fire extinguish
ers and other fire emergency
equipment in the store, and to
always call the fire department.

Georgia Ministers
Comment on Soil
Stewardship Week
“We are told of the future
prospects of ‘turning swords
into plowshares.' For what pur
pose? If we continue to burn
out the strength of the land,
and allow water and wind ero
sion to wash away and dig out
the fertile topsoil, plows will
be of no avail. Rev. J. Ray
Dunahoo.
“We do not have the power
to create new worlds, new
oceans, or a new set of our na
tural laws. But our Maker did
give us the ability to create
new ways and means of using
the natural resources to build
a more productive country.’’—
Rev. Sidney R. Crawford.
“Start lining up the hungry
people of the world at your
front door. The line will ex
tend over continent and ocean,
25,000 miles around the world
and back to your front door.
But it doesn’t end there. Pass
ing your home a second time,
it encircles the globe again
and again—twenty-five times
in all. All are hungry, and the
line is growing at the rate of
twenty-five miles per day.’’—
Rev. Ryan Seawright.
‘‘lf we waste and abuse and
neglect these resources so that
future generations suffer for
the lack of them, we may be
sure that when God calls on
us for an accounting of our
stewardship, this neglect will
be called to our attention."—
Rev. A. Ray Adams.
S. L. Welborn, county agent
in Jackson County, has work
ed closely with Mr. Braswell
on developing his fertilizer
program and helping him keep
up with research findings
from the University of Geor
gia Experiment Stations.
