Notional Lawn
And Garden Week
Set March 20-26
The contributions of millions
of Americans to the livability of
their environment will be recog
nized during the National Lawn
and Garden Week, which will be
observed for the first time during
the first week of Spring, 1969.
Under the slogan, “Growing with
America,” National Lawn and
Garden Week will open on March
20 and continue through March 26.
Sponsors of the Garden Seed
Industry in America, local seeds
men and shrubbery dealers are
combining to call attention to the
week in Georgia and Newton Co
unty.
Beautification of homes, high
ways, parks and recreation areas
are an important facet in Ameri
can life today. The value and
attractiveness of lawns and areas
near the home enhances the value
of property in the city and country
as well.
Help Offered
To Backyard
Fruit Growers
Are you among the Georgia
home gardeners trying to grow
peaches, apples, plums or pears
in your backyard?
If you are, there is a publi
cation available at your county
Extension agent’s office which
could make a difference in the
amount and quality of fruit you
produce this year.
Entitled “Disease and Insect
Control in Home Orchards,” the
publication is designed to assist
home gardeners with insect and
disease problems. The authors,
Dr. Norman E. McGlohon, pl
ant pathologist, and Dr. Emmett
D. Harris Jr., entomologist, with
the university of Georgia Coope
rative Extension Service, point
out the recommendations they of
fer can make the difference be
tween a good or bad harvest
from your fruit trees.
“If home gardeners follow
closely the spray schedules in
this publication and apply the
sprays thoroughly , their fruit
should be free of serious di
sease and insect damage,” the
authors said. They cautioned
home gardeners to observe all
restrictions and precautions on
pesticide labels when spraying
fruit trees.
Among other things, the publi
cation contains spray schedules
for apples, pears, grapes, peach
es and plums. Additional infor
mation is provided on plum cur
culip control and peach tree borer
control.
U. S. Savings Bonds and-Free
dom Shares are “indestructi
ble”. Every Bond and Share is
registered in the name of the
owner, microfilm copies of that
registration are kept on file,
and any Bond or Share lost,
stolen, mutilated, or destroyed
will be replaced by the Trea
sury.

Atlanta 4-H And
FFA Steer Show
Georgia 4-H Club and FFA
members are going to Atlanta
and they are taking their best
steers with them. They won’t
be downtown with the animals.
However, they will be at the
Southeastern Fairgrounds at
Lakewood Park.
The occasion will be the first
Atlanta State Junior Steer Show.
The event, set for March 30-
April 1, will climax months of
hard work and preparation for
4-H Club and FFA members
raising cattle for show and sale.
The new event follows on the
heels of the Georgia Cattle Show
which was discontinued last year
after a 21-year run in Atlanta.
It will feature a new look in
cattle they put on display. How
ever, quality of the cattle is ex
pected to be as good or better
than that of shows in the past.
According to Elton Dunn, exe
cutive secretary, Future Far
mers of America, and Dr. T. L.
Walton, state 4-H leader with
the University of Georgia Coope
rative Extension Serivce, the old
concept of emphasizing top ani
mals will not be in the spot
light at this show and sale. The
major emphasis will be on the
boys and girls who have worked
with the animals.
“Cattle shows and livestock
events are the tools through which
young people are taught citizen
ship, leadership, integrity and
good sportsmanship,” Dr. Walton
said. Through these events,
young people have an opportunity
to experiment in different areas
of interests and are taught skills
which might point them toward
their life’s work, he continued.
Cattle entries will be weigh
ed and tagged at the Fairgrounds
on Sunday, Mar. 30, between the
