Cultivating Kudzu
Mr. T- A. Brundage, Wilkinson
County Supervisor of the Central
Georgia Soil Conservation District,
calls our attention to a late cultiva
tion of kudzu that was planted last
spring.
He reminds us that kudzu can
spread only by taking root at the
nodes or joints and this can happen
only when the vines are touching the
ground. Vines that climb weeds and
bushes cannot help to establish a
stand
Bushes need to be grubbed out.
Plow the middle so the vines can get
into the soil where the crop planted
between the kudzu will permit. And
where w’eeds have come into the
kudzu row during the recent rains
they should be cut off or pulled up
where plowing cannot get to them

Live In Wilkinson County
By The Side Os
The Road
Most of us in the county- IJill
regard the paved roads rather
incredulously, as if we were ex
pecting them almost any- morn
ing to vanish into dust and clay
under our very noses. And no
wonder. Wilkinson has waited
long, if not patiently, for a hard
surface highway. But good roads
in the county are in part already
and an accomplished fact, and we
will never be without hope that
the program will be completed
in its entirity. It is but natural
that we should heave a sigh of
eternal thankfulness for that
which we actually haw. But we
swap the gullies apd the bogs for
the billboards and the signposts,
not a bad exchange, if it were
necessary. But why should we
have cough syrup, tooth past^,
insect powders, beer and pop ad
vertisement from one end of the
countv to the other? The open
ing up of every highway in the
state has been followed up by an
endless procession of billboard
pasters and fence-post-tackers.
The objection to them obvious.
To say the least they a>e an eye
sore, and in many instan tees a
well placed board fs a great ob
struction to the sight of, the
driver. And there is no evidence
to show that the volume of sales
of a"gasoline pump is propor
tionally great to the number of
its accompanying roadside post
ers
Our problem now is not so diffi
cult In fact it would seem almost
simpie, for we are in this county
as yet fairly free from roadside
litter. Other towns and counties
and even one entire state have
tried to rid themselves of the
nuisance after it became a prob
lem. But once they are placed
they seem very hard to remove.
The few miles in Georgia that
have been cleared of outdoor ad
vertisements are singular in ap
pearance. It is. perhaps, a small
matter, but there is no better
! way ts meet the problem than to
' prevent it.
