GREAT PROGRESS
IN CONSERVATION
BY JACK MILLER
Soil Conservationist
Great strides were made in sa
ving Georgia’s soil and water re
sources during 1958, according to
C. W. Chapman, State Conserva
tionist, SCS, Athens, in his annual
report for the year. Adequate pro
gress was made in every phase of
the work and the attitude of the
people toward soil and water con
servation as a widely accepted part I
of modern farming was very signi
ficant, Chapman adds,
t New patterns of land use are \
qbserved in many areas due to
fjarallel terrace arrangement, land
leveling between terrace intervals
and more adequate layout of water,
c isposal areas. These practices per-1
nit more efficient use of modern
machinery.
* Farm ponds continued to be
quilt at a rapid rate with more
farmers realizing that pond sites
must be carefully selected and
care used in building the dam if
the pond is to be successful,
i The watershed program in its |
ejxpansion showed a more wide- j
spread interest throughout the

I “Buyers prefer my I
j ORTHOCIDE treated peaches” {
“I was the first to use ORTHOCIDE in this area and find in my road
side stand that the buyers prefer my ORTHOCIDE treated peaches
over others,” reports Horace E. Settle of Inman, S. C. “Color always
sells better and ORTHOCIDE gives them the color. This increases
my profits.”
Don’t delay — start an ORTHO program today! This report is
just one of hundreds received from leading fruit growers who have found M
■ that ORTHOCIDE (captan) in an ORTHO program has improved color,
f finish and keeping qualities of their fruit. This outstanding fungicide I
ORTHOCIDE (captan) provides exceptionally fine particle sizes, better
sticking and wetting agents. Ask your nearest ORTHO Fieldman how

State. During the year applications
were received for planning assis- 1
tance on 16 additional small water-!
sheds bringing the total to date of
73 applications for help under the
Watershed Protection and Flood
Prevention Act. Already 62 appli
cations have been approved for
planning and 8 authorized for ap
plication of practices, said Chap
man.
During the year a conservation
needs inventory was completed in
91 countries. The inventory for all
counties will he completed by July
I 1 and incorporated in a state and
| national summary by the end of
1959. This material will provide
< basic information on which the
! SCS and the Department of Agri
; culture can better plan for accom
plishing soil and water conserva
tion objectives.
Mulch farming or stubble mulch
ing in the Coastal Area around
Statesboro, Perry, and Tifton areas
is expanding at a rapid rate. This
is the practice of planting soy
beans, cowpeas, or other crops on
! grain stubble without breaking the
land and exposing it to erosion,
i During 1958 there were 436 far
[ mers installing this practice on
1 23,628 acres of land according to
the State Conservationist.

TRACTOR SHIFTS ON-THE-GO
,. ...
Two gerat advantages for tractor operators are to be found in
Ford’s new Select-O-Speed transmission. First is operator convenience.
Using only the small selector lever (shown in insert), the tractor oper
ator can shift to or through any of ten forward and two reverse gears
without stopping and without using a clutch pedal. Second advantage
is the greater efficiency and economy resulting from easy selection
of exactly the right gear for every job. The local Ford tractor and
implement dealer, Chapman-Beatty Tractor Co., invites your inspection
of the Ford Select-O-Speed transmission in gold demonstration
tractor to be on display March 23-28 at their place on U. S. 41 South.
Physical accomplishments in |
1958 that farmers have applied
with technical help from the SCS, 1
working through the soil conserva-1
tion districts include: conservation j
crop rotations, 226,000 acres; pas
ture planting, 142,000 acres; trees
planted, 141,000 acres; farm drain
age, 20,000 acres; farm ponds con
structed, 1,346; terracing, 94 7
miles, and 1900 acres of waterway
development. More than 3,500 far
mers became cooperators with the
soil conservation districts during
the year, bringing the total num
ber to 98,955 in the State’s twenty-1
seven soil conservation districts. 1
There was a substantial increase
in soil mapping. Altogether, soil
surveys have been completed on
more than twenty-seven million
acres in the State, according to
Chapman.
These are just some of the many
conservation accomplishments that
can be measured or observed. In
addition there has been a realiza
tion among the farmers, business
men, agricultural agencies, and
groups that soil and water conser
vation is a matter of public wel-
| fare and mutual concern and to do
the job will require teamwork of
j all, according to Mr. Chapman.
HOW BRIGHT IS YOUR
I CHILD? We’ll be having Dr.

ton on March 24 and 25. He’s the
man who is doing a nation-wide
study of bright children and what’s
being done for them. We have
sent our questionnaires to 198 su
perintendents in Georgia asking
“What’s YOUR school doing for
| the bright child?” Guess how many
i answers we’ve had. I’m ashamed
to tell you. Ask your superinten

WASHING DACRON
If dacron material gets limp af
ter washing the stiffness cannot be
restored, according to Miss Avola
Whitesell, clothing specialist, Ag
, ricultural Extension Service.
, Limpness may be caused by poor
quality yarn, the type of finish
used, the method of washing, or
the bleach used. Always wash such
items according to label instruc
; tions.
In 1945 only one farm housewife
in 16 had a washing machine, but
by 1950 one in three had this con
venience, report engineers for the
Agricultural Extension Service.
