J. W. Horne
has been of great value to these
people. Mr. Horne recalls the
early days of Extension work
when sponsors were encouraged
to support projects such as six
five-acre demonstrations started
with Austin Winter Peas to pro
mote soil improvement through
winter cover crops. Pure seed
demonstration plots were carried
out for corn and cotton on many
farms throughout the entire coun
ty in these early years.
Mr. Horne states that “I have
seen the agricultural economy
lead into both urban and industrial
channels which demands much of
an Extension agent’s time. Part
time farming is now encouraged
to balance the trend towards off
the - farm employment brought
about by industrialization, and
the rapidly changing economy.”
He further said that the clien
telle was understanding, in-
terested, and desirous of partici
pating in Extension programs de
signed to promote improved and
up-to-date agricultural methods.
Mr. Horne said further that, “I
feel that I could not have made a
successful start, nor made much
accomplishment, had it not been
for the faithful support of the
Georgia Extension Service, Ex
tension workers, county officials,
business and professional lead
ers, civic organizations and
church groups throughout the en
tire county.”
Mr. Horne is active in local
civic affairs. On many occas
ions he has helped organize and
promote drives for charity. He
is a member of Newton County
Teachers and Educational As
sociation, Friendship Lodge No.
20 F.A.M., and Bethlehem Bap
tist Church where he serves as
Chairman of the Board of Dea
cons. During the war years, he
assisted in the production of
extra food and worked on the
drive to reclaim scrap iron to
aid the war effort.
Newton Countians will miss
the services of J. W, Horne, but
he does plan to maintain a re
sidence here in the county.
NITROGEN FOR PECANS
Three - fourths of the pecan
tree’s nitrogen supply should
have been applied before new
growth began this spring. This
insures proper twig growth, ac
cording to R. L. Livingston, head
of the Extension Service horti
culture department. The re
mainder of the nitrogen may be
applied in June. This will in
sure good leaf retention which
in turn aids in producing quality
nuts.
The use of cotton fiber
dates back 7,000 years.

Georgia Boosts
Its Production
Os Ice Cream
Ice cream production in Geor
gia last year was 15 percent
greater than in 1964, and 21 per
cent greater than the 1959-1963
average.
John L. Williams, Extension
Service dairy marketing spe
cialist at the University of Geor
gia, said the state produced 10,
075,000 gallons in 1965, com
pared to 8,725,000 gallons in’64.
Output during the 1959 - 1963
period averaged 8,301,000 gal
lons annually.
Mr. Williams said the Georgia
increase last year “is quite sign
ificant” because it surpasses the
percentage increase of all other
states except West Virginia.
The nation as a whole produced
752.9 million gallons of ice cream
in 1965—an overall increase of
two percent for the United States.
New York was the No. 1 ice
cream producing state, followed
by Pennsylvania, California, Ill
inois, and Ohio. These five
states, Mr. Williams said, ac
counted for 40 percent of the to
tal U. S. production.
that it is one of the most sought
after positions, and that 4-H
Leaders with the University of
Georgia Extension Service
choose only a small percentage
of those who apply.
For the most part, the Rock
Eagle counselors are college stu
dents and former 4-H members.
The pay they receive for their
summer work is in the form of a
college scholarship. Arthur will
use his scholarship money at the
University of Georgia where he
will major in Veterinary Science,
College of Agriculture.
According to Mr. Hunt, Arthur
was an outstanding 4-H Club
member in Newton County. He
carried out projects in Elect
ricity, Poultry, Safety, Forestry,
Dog Care & Training, Veterinary
Science, Home Improvement,
Landscaping, Gardening, Entom
ology, and Leadership, winning
awards as high as being named
Georgia’s first National Winner
in his Dog Care and Training
project.
