Many farmers are applying
fertilizer to the land in
amounts and kind as deter
mined by soil test to get best
results from their crops.
SPRING is one of the
popular seasons with most
people. Birds, animals and
all forms of wildlife start
moving about making plans
and preparing for summer
and fall.
SOIL EROSION was on
the Increase last week by
TWO inches of rainfall in a
short period of time. JEST
ER’S LAKE was red again
due to large amount of soil
washing from areas not pro
tected by grass or other
types of vegetation. SPRING
rains which come quickly
and deposit many gallons of
water in a few hours on ex
posed lands cause more soil
lost to erosion than slow
rains.
This soil fills stream
channels ca usi n g fertile
bottom lands to flood being
too wet to be established to
cropland or pasture. Guy
Neal of Ellenwood with his
farm located south of Double
Bridges Road has this prob
lem effecting six aqres of
bottoms. S. G. Reeves has
wet land along this same
stream south of Mr. Neal’s
farm. This is only one ex
ample of drainage problems
to be solved. Plans are being
made to lower the water
table and enlarge stream
channels to render this land
usable for growing pasture
grasses profitably.
LAND and WATER are
TWO valuable resources we
can use but NOT ABUSE
without suffering the conse
quences.

Letters to
The Editor
March 10, 1967
Honorable Lester G. Maddox
State Capitol
Atlanta, Georgia
30334
Dear Governor Maddox,
First, we want to con
gratulate you on the fine job
we think you are doing. We
are proud to say you are our
Governor of the State of
Georgia.
We would like to comment
to you as to the way we feel
about college student’s
picketing, marching and
draft card burning. We were
wondering when colleges be
gan giving courses in these
subjects. Are these students
penalized by the college
administration when they
miss classes to participate
in such activities? If ele
mentary or high school stu
dents from anywhere in the
state participated in these
activities, we feel sure that
they would be expelled from
school.
In our opinion, college
students are considered
adults and are allowed the
right to vote, why then, are
they allowed to participate
in such demonstrations,
when they are setting such
poor examples for later gen
erations?
What is the draft status
of these students?
How much of our tax
money is being wasted on
students who should be at
tending classes when they
are walking the streets dem
onstrating?
We were wondering, while
the General Assembly is in
session, if some law could be
passed to stop such dis
graceful acts against the
State of Georgia.
We feel that we have the
Constitutional Right to ask
this to be done.
We think that if a bill
such as this were presented
to the people at the poll that
90 percent of the people
would be in favor of it.
Sincerely yours,
Concerned Taxpayers

Star-spangled security
The millions of Americans who buy U. S. Savings Bonds
know security is a two-way street.
You and your family are only as secure as the country
you live in. When you start saving with U. S. Bonds you
insure your own future and help keep your country strong
at the same time.
Bonds give you a guaranteed rate of interest—3%%
when held to maturity—so you don’t have to worry about
the ups and downs of market trends.
And Savings Bonds aren’t subject to state or local income
taxes, either. If you like, you can defer the federal income
tax until you cash your Bonds.
When you buy your Bonds you can’t help feeling a little
proud. You’re doing your part in strengthening the cause
of freedom.
And that’s the best security in the world.
