Treat Alfalfa
This Fall for
Hay Next Year
Cooperative Extension Ser
vice entomologists and county
agents throughout Georgia are
reminding alfalfa growers this
week that they should apply
heptachlor this fall if they ex
pect to cut alfalfa hay next
spring.
Heptachlor is used to com
bat the alfalfa weevil, and Dr.
C. R. Jordan, head of the Ex
tension entomology department
at the University of Georgia,
said experience during the past
several years shows that all al
falfa fields must be treated to
control the pest.
“Otherwise,” Dr. Jordan
stated, “hay yields will be re
duced sharply and stands will
be lost.”
He said the best control mea-

Begins when people start to buy out of town and
invest their money away from home.
Financial institutions such as banks and savings
and loan associations no longer have these dollars
available in the form of loans to help people buy
a home or car, improve a home, help a merchant
carry better stock, finance farm machinery or for a
hundred other uses. Business slows down, young
people leave for greener pastures. A town withers,
then dies. It's happening all over America.
Today, nothing ever paid greater dividends or
more handsome returns than loyalty to your
community. Buy at home and save at home. That's
the way to keep our future as it should be, bright.

sure at the present time is a
broadcast application of hept
achlor granules in the fall. Dr.
Jordan called this method
“easy and economical” and
added that it gives near-per
fect protection from weevil
damage the following spring.
He said a correctly applied
treatment this fall should make
the more costly and less ef
fective spring treatments un
necessary.
Recommendations call for
broadcasting 40 pounds of 2
1/2 per cent heptachlor gran
ules per acre between Oct. 1
and Oct. 15. This will give the
desired rate of one pound of
actual heptachlor per acre, Dr.
Jordan explained.
Farmers who are unable to
give their alfalfa fields this
treatment by Oct. 15 should
use 30 pounds of 2 1/2 percent
heptachlor between Oct. 15
and Nov. 15.
Dr. Jordan warned that it
is necessary to observe these
exact dosages and time limi
tations in order to avoid ex
cessive and illegal residues.
The entomologist said the
granules can be broadcast with
a tractor-drawn fertilizer
spreader or with a cyclone
seeder. He urked farmers to
be sure to obtain thorough,
even distribution of the gran
ules over the surface of the
soil. “Skips,” he said, “will re
sult in weevil-damaged alfalfa
and less effective control.”
“What will the parents of
the next generation tell their
kids what they had to do with
out?”

Filling the Gap
Everybody has met the type.
The fellow who couldn’t stand
success -- who pushed his luck
so hard that it ended up push
ing him right back.
No doubt it can happen to
anybody. Something of the sort,
in fact, has happened to all of
us as a nation vigorously seek
ing the goal of better health.
Because of great gains chalk
ed up in the battle against
tuberculosis, many TB hospitals
have closed down in recent
years. Which is all to the good
— until an interesting question
arises:
While getting rid of unneed
ed hospital facilities, have we
tended to throw out the baby
with the bath water? In other
words, have we risked dimin
ishing our supply of the best
tools for preventing, detecting
and treating future TB?
A striking answer came the
other day from Dr. James W.
Raleigh, a leading expert in the
field, who pointed out that
“centers for TB research and
medical education have often
disappeared” with the closing
of the hospitals.
Dr. Raleigh, who is medical
director of the chest specialists’
association known as the
American Thoracic Society,
went on to emphasize the or
ganization’s “great concern”
over the matter. The feeling
isn’t hard to understand when
you realize that more than

Let God Call The Plays In
Your Life
Have you watched any foot
ball games this season? I’m al
ways impressed with the team
work and zeal with which each
player plays. Every man knows
exactly what he is supposed to
do. He knows the team for
which he is playing. If there
seems to be any doubt in a
player’s mind, he is quickly
taken out of the game. He
never aids an opponent by
blocking his teammate or pass
ing to a member of the opoos
ing team. Every man is strugg
ling for a touchdown.
Every church member plays
on a team. This team is also
constantly struggling toward a
goal. The goal is Christlikeness.
There is also an opposing
team. It is being coached by the
devil. He blocks, throws inter
ferences and has been known
to tackle in emergencies. His
greatest weapon is false logic.
It is a respectable play; one
with which we can live and
still be in good standing with
the preacher.
It works something like this:
' The devil says, “You have
* worked hard all week. Why
don’t you go out for a little re
| laxation this Sunday? You
; could sleep a little late and
I then meet the boys for nine
j holes of golf. Just one Sunday
won’t hurt.” Or he may say,
! “Not many pretty Sundays in
j the year. Why don't you go to
! the lake today? Enjoy the boat
and do a little fishing.”
Or, still another approach
he uses is this: “You really don’t
feel like going to church today.
Why don’t you just stay around
the house and rest so you will
feel up to the swift pace of
business on Monday?” I have
even known old Satan to make
one feel obligated to drive
seventy-five miles on Sunday
to see a rich cousin who has a
bad cold and is still undecided
about how she should make her
will.
Another play the devil has
been known to use is the sub
stitute play. You go to the lodge
and the “Do Good and Be
Happy Club”, and you can miss
church because, after all, these
50,000 people in the United
States still come down with
active TB every year, and near
ly 10,000 die of the d ease.
What to do? For the answer.
Dr. Raleigh looks to the more
than 1,100 TB clinics that dot
the American landscape from
coast to coast. These are centers
where former hospital patients
can come for follow-up care,
where tuberculin tests and
chest X-rays are given to find
possible new cases.
If TB is finally to be eradi
cated, Dr. Raleigh says, these
clinics must not only be sup
ported and increased in num
j ber; their usefulness must be
j expanded, he believes, so that
। they can serve as centers for
medical training and clinical
research.

organizations are based on the
Bible, and there isn’t any need
to go to both. The devil is a
pretty good coach, and if you
are not wise, he will have you
playing on his team, and at the
same time waving a banner of
the church. This business of
living the Christian life is a
full-time job. It demands com
plete dedication.
We sat a few Saturdays ago
watching Tech play football,
and one could not help but
notice the display of enthu
siasm by the Freshmen. My
friend remarked, “It’s too bad
the Freshmen can’t get that
much enthusiasm about Latin
or algebra!” I was thinking
about something else. It’s too
bad that some church members
can’t be as determined and per
sistent about the Christian life
as Tech seemed to be about
winning the game.
Be sure the right coach is
giving you signals as you play
the game of life.

FOOD BUYING
By Dr. Mary Gibbs,
Consumer Marketing Specialist
Q. I’ve heard that Irish po
tatoes are a good source of vi
tamin C. Is this true?
A. Although Irish potatoes
do not have as much vitamin
C as some fruits and vegeta
bles, potatoes can make a good
contribution to your daily vi
tamin C quota. This vitamin
C content is affected by stor
age and by processing. Re
search by Idaho Agricultural
Experiment Station showed
that raw potatoes stored from
October to April lost consider
able vitamin C (14.6 mg. per
100 grams). Fresh mashed po
tatoes contain only about half
as much vitamin C as the raw
potatoes. Reconstituted gran
ules had but one-fourth as
much vitamin C in October and
one-fifth as much in April as
did the raw potatoes.
Q. Are fresh cranberries high
in calories? How does the
calorie content compare with
that of cranberry sauces and
relishes?
A. No. One-fourth cup of
fresh cranberries furnishes
only 14 calories. The same
amount of fresh orange and
cranberry relish contains ap
proximately 98 calories. A
fourth cup of sweetened cran
berry sauce contains about 137
calories.
Q. When selecting a fresh
coconut, what things should I
look for? The one I bought last
year was spoiled.
A. Select fresh coconuts
which are heavy and contain
“milk” or liquid. Coconuts
without liquid are spoiled. Be
sure that the “milk” can be
heard or felt to slosh around
in the fresh coconut you buy.
Also, examine the “eyes” or
three soft spots at the top of
the coconut. If these “eyes” are
wet or moldy, the coconut is
unsound.
