Unique Remodeling By Rural Residents
With Products Os Qur “Tree Farms”
Home modernization is by no
means an exclusively urban past
time,
Many rural residents are
working wonders in making over
stables, barns and other utility
buildings into comfortable living
quarters,
In many instances, the trans
formation is accomplished with
end products of the ‘‘tree farm*
harvest,
The South contains more than
42 million acres of ‘‘tree farms”
growing mature and bountiful
crops of Southern Pine, This
species provides many products
which are proving increasingly
useful to ‘‘tree farmers’ and
their neighbors inpractical home
improvements,
For example, modern paneling
patterns and rough sawn siding
offer high resistance to wear and
low maintenance as well as strik=
ing beauty,
According to the Southern Pine
Association, rural residents are
generally handy with tools and
can do most of the work them=
selves with lumber available

TO MY FRIENDS OF NEWTON COUNTY
I WANT TO TAKE THIS MEANS OF THANKING YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE
1 HAVE HAD FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS OF SERVING AS YOUR TAX RECEIVER,
The office of Newton County Tax Receiver was abolished last year by the Georgia
Legislature and the duties of this office were combined with the duties of the Tax
Collector. Under the terms of this legislative act, Newton County will pay to the Tax
Commissioner the sum of twelve hundred dollars per year to hire clerical help to
handle the duties of the office of Tax Receiver,
FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FRIENDSHIP, lAM DEEPLY GRATEFUL, THESE
PAST FOUR YEARS HAVE GIVEN ME A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
NEW FRIENDS AND TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR COUNTY GOVERNMENT,
IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU, AND THOUGH MY TENURE OF
OFFICE HAS EXPIRED, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO BE
VITALLY INTERESTED IN GOOD GOVERNMENT FOR OUR COUNTY AND STATE,
Sincerely,
J. Hugh Steele

from neighboring dealers,
In converting a barn or stable
into living quarters, paneling can
be readily applied to existing in
terior walls or framing, Under
Southern Pine grading standards,
paneling is ‘‘pre-shrunk’” to
moisture content not exceeding
12%. This stablizes size and
increases the retention of fin
ishes.
Rough surfaced siding has
stricking texture interest—an
impression that is further en
hanced by modern exterior
“‘stain’” finishes., The latter
combine pigments and water re=-
pellents, are easy and inexpen=
sive to apply, highly durable
and low maintenance,
The pleasing texture of rough
surfaced siding creates a close
communion between the building
and wooded surroundings,
In some instances, the upper
portion of a barn or stable will
be made into living quarters,
with the lower portion continuing
to serve the function for which
the building was originally de

Seedling Care
Is Important
A high seedling survival rate
is expected by the landowner who
purchases trees, whether it be
for commercial or beautification
purposes,
For the seedlings to grow into
merchantable timber, they must
be managed properly beginning
with planting. Depth, placement
and moisture are factors thatcan
determine whether you have a
timber crop in the future,
Seedlings should be planted
at the correct depth, Longleaf
and slash pines, in sandy soils,
need to be planted one inchdeep=
er than the ground line where
they were grown in the nursery.
Other seedlings should be plant=
ed at the ground line, In plante
ing the roots should be placed
straight down, If possible, the
landowner needs to put his trees
in the ground following a good
soaking rain,
Georgia Forestry Commission
Director Ray Shirley states that
these recommendations will cut
down on mortality that land
owners experience each year
through improper planting,
He added that with the grow=-
ing trend of absentee landowners,
whether caught in the rural-ur
ban movement or living out of
state, more tree planting assist
ance is required,

Prospects Good
For Beef Grower,

Despite unusually heavy sup
plies of beef, including imports,
and the depressed prices which
prevailed in late 1963 and 1964,

long-range prospects for beef

mists of the Georgia Experiment
Station at Griffin who conducted
a research analysis of sources
of beef supplies and factors which
influence prices of cattle,
The University of Georgia re
search economists report that,
except for temporary decreases
in cattle prices due to the cattle
cycle, the longer run outlook is
highly favorable for beefproduc
tion in terms of increasing
volume of about 4 percent per
year at stable prices.
These economists said they ex
pect slightly reduced per capita
supplies of beef and veal plus the
favorable time trend to generate
a rise in cattle prices from 1965
to 1969.
They attribute recent increas=
es in the per capita supply of
beef and veal to the increased
ratio of cattle to calf slaughter
and to increased imports of beef.
