SEEDING YOUR LAWN
If you have decided to start
or repair your lawn by seeding
rather than by sprigs, Extension
Service specialists point out that
you need to make certain that
you get uniform distribution of the
seed. One method of getting uni
form seeding Is to mix the seed
with small amounts of a carrier
such as topsoil or sand.

I read some figures the other day that
I think will interest you because they mean
so much to the economy of Georgia.
In 1966, $13,397,832 worth of materials
and supplies were purchased from Georgia
suppliers by the Western Electric Com
pany, the manufacturing and supply unit
of Southern Bell and other Bell System
companies.
A total of 695 suppliers in 53 Georgia
cities and towns shared in these purch
ases. Most of the suppliers were small
businesses, accounting for 81 per cent
of the dollar volume.
In addition to the better than sl3 mil
lion purchases, Western Electric added
another $20,904,000 in gross payrolls to
2,820 Georgia employees,. Payments for
major construction in the state amounted
to $1,649,000.
So you see Western Electric means a
lot more to Georgia than just playing an
important role in good telephone service
for the state.
