Dr. Jas. Hightower Jr.
LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Doctor
(Major) James O. High
tower Jr., son of Mr. and
Mrs. James O. Hightower Sr.
of Jonesboro, Ga., helped
evaluate lessons learned in
Vietnam at a special U.S. Air
Force industry life support
conference in Las Vegas,
Nev., Nov. 28-Dec. 1.
More than 600 military
and industrial personnel
from the U.S., Canada and
Great Britain gathered at
the meeting for the purpose
of improving the protective
—or life support—equipment
used by aircrewmen.
Dr. Hightower is an aero
space medical officer work
ing in operational bioastro
nautics with a unit of the
Air Force Systems Command
at Los Angeles Air Force
Station, Calif.
The meeting, one of the
largest in the 17-year series
of such conferences, brought
together of all USAF and in
dustrial agencies that can
advance the protection and
survival of aircrews.
Representatives of more
than 200 companies and
members of the Army, Navy
and Marine Corps joined the
USAF experts to help change
survival needs and ideas
into working equipment and
methods. Flight gear, air
craft environment and
escape systems and survival
equipment for aircrews in
Southeast Asia received ma
jor consideration.
The doctor returned from
a tour of duty in Vietnam in
July 1966.
A 1947 graduate of Jones
boro High School, he re
ceived his B.S. degree in 1954
from the University of Geor

Shrub Planting Success
By CHARLES S. TUCKER
County Agent
Recent rains have in
creased soil moisture to a de
sirable level for planting
trees and shrubs. Gardeners
couldn’t find a better time
to make new plantings.
If we could select a few
major points that determine
success or failure with plant
ings, soil preparation and
proper planting techniques
would rank very high. Ac
tually there are many fac
tors, all of which work to
gether. If we fall down in
one, then we reduce our
chances proportionally.
Soil preparation begins
with cleaning the planting
site of rocks, construction
debris and roots. A thorough
plowing or spading down to
12 inches or more comes
next. As you break the soil,
crush any clods that may
have come up with the
spading or plowing. Look
carefully for any debris that
may have been below the soil
surface.
Most soils need amending
by adding humus or organic
matter. To do this, spread a
layer four to six inches deep

over the planting site. If
your soil is a heavy clay, add
an inch of sand. Be certain
that you mix these materials
thoroughly and uniformly
throughout the depth of
loosened soil. These practices
will increase drainage and
aeration and the soil will be
pleasant to the touch. Plants
can’t help but grow and
thrive when such measures
are followed.
Another important phase
of planting concerns the
depth at which plants are
set. Keep in mind that most
plants need to be set at the
same depth at which they
grew in the nursery. In case
you are planting small
shrubs it may be necessary
to make a mound of soil in
the bottom of the hole; this
is used to regulate depth of
the root system. At this
stage a thorough soaking
with a slow stream of water
is desirable. Fill the hole
two-thirds with soil. Water
again and add more soil
until you have completely
filled the hole. One last
thorough watering will help
eliminate air pockets and
pack the soil. For the first
few weeks keep the soil
moist by thoroughly water
ing at seven-to ten-day in
tervals.
Sounds complicated, doesn’t
it? It really isn’t—just re
quires time and a good
effort.

2 Little
Mice Become
Million
BY DAVE ALMAND
Extension Wildlife Specialist,
University of Georgia College
of Agriculture
Would you believe that, if you
start out with 1,000 earth
worms and 2,000 capsules
(worm eggs) in January, by the
second December you could end
up with 149,127,000 breeding
worms, 805,431,000 total
worms and 298,254 capsules.
Sounds fantastic doesn’t it? Yet,
this could happen by a stroke
of luck.
If that sounds unbelievable,
what about this: Under ideal
conditions, a pair of meadow
mice could increase to a mil
lion in a single year. One buck
deer and five does could become
1,000 in 10 years and five pairs
of rabbits could produce 100
young by fall.
But wait, that’s not all. An
Oklahome wildlife biologist has
come up with a startling and
Interesting study on bobwhite
quail. If these birds could take
out life insurance policies, they
probably couldn’t afford them.
It is estimated the annual pre
mium for a quail would be
$905 on a SI,OOO policy. The
premium figure is based on the
fact that 82 out of every 100
quail will be dead before they
are a year old. Fifteen of the
100 will live 1 1/2 years;
two may live three years; but
only one will live five years.
Here is where we come back
to reality. All wildlife spec
ies, In fact all life, have the
ability to reproduce and most
at a rapid rate. The reason is
obvious. There must be enough
young produced to Insure an
adequate number to survive to
the next breeding season.
But, mother nature has seen
fit not to let all young pro
duced live to the next season.
Thus, it’s impossible in nature
for 1,000 worms to become
hundreds of millions in two
years or for five pairs of rab
bits to increase to 100 by fall.
The balance of nature demands
that this not be the case. Again,
the reasons are obvious. The
rabbits and rats must produce
profusely to feed the hawks,
owls, foxes and bobcats. A few
more are also needed to absorb
the lose of those run over by
automobiles. But even here
most of these are not lost
for the buzzards, crows and
opossums have the opportunity
to fill their stomachs once
again.
Wildlife biologists realize
these cold facts of nature. They
are accepted principles and we
cannot go against them.
But as we’ve pointed out, these
very high numbers are seldom
attained and if attained, they
start dropping immediately.
The phenomena which are re
sponsible for this is what bio
logists term “environmental
resistance.” In brief, this re
presents the difference between
the potential ability (biotic po
tential) of a population to in
crease and the actual observed
performance. Thus, environ
mental resistance, including
broadly such things as preda
tion, unfavorable weather, dis
eases, paraslties and man’s
influence on the environment,
account for the fact that 1,000
worms cannot Increase over
800 million in two years or one
pair of meadow mice to over
a million in one year.
In managing wildlife, particu
larly game species, biologists
attempt to reduce the impact
of environmental resistance
factors so that we can enjoy a
more bountiful supply to hunt,
catch or observe.

tion of 956 million pounds is
