LOVE OF HOME
AT COLLEGE I struggled
through the pages of Xeno
phon’s Anabasis which tells of
the ten thousand Greeks as mer
cenaries who followed Cyrus to
he heart of Persia in a cam
paign to wrest the throne from
Artaxerxes, his brother. And after
the death of Cyrus in battle, the
remnant of the Greeks fought
their way back through incred
ible hardship and almost innumer
able foes until they reached the
sea that would bear them home.
And the weary Greeks went into
transports of joy. They embraced
one another and wept, crying, the
Sea, the Sea!
Thus the love of home makes
all the world akin. And whether
it be the Scotch in outer trenches
guarding who chose to sing An
nie Laurie, the Englishmen who
asked to die with his face toward
old England, or the Negro who
asked a nurse of the First World
War, “Lady, do you know which
way is Alabama,” and the nurse
inquired of him why he wanted
to know. He said, “I just want
to die with my face toward old
Alabama.” All were filled with
the love of and longing for home.
The American who turned from
the maddening throngs of Paris
and climbed to his garret and
wrote a song that will never die,
sang of Home. An old reading
relates how two great armies lay
facing each other along the Rap
pahanock one night. The bands
struck up, on one side the strains'
of Yankee Doodle filled the air
and back across the stream came
the music of Dixie. And when at
last each band had exhausted its
repertoire and there came a mo
ment of silence, a lone soldier
began to sing “Home, Sweet
Home” and both armies joined.
And on many a soldier’s face
something trickled down and
washed away the powder stain.
So may the love of home unite
us now.

ASCS Announces
Wheal Loan Data
Producers will be able to qualify
for wheat loans and marketing cer
tificates by planting within the
1965 farm allotment, signing up by
closing date, and meeting certain
other provisions of the 1965 wheat
program, W. H. Booth, chairman,
Georgia Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation State Commit
tee, said today.
Growers who want to earn diver
sion payments, he added, will also
need to reduce their wheat acre
age at least 10 per cent below the
allotment and devote those acres
to an approved conserving use.
The loans in Georgia will be
$1.38 per bushel, available on the
farm’s entire wheat production ex
cept any excess wheat. Domestic
certificates will be valued at 75
cents per bushel (on as much as
45 per cent of the allotment’s nor
mal production) and export certi
ficates will be valued at 30 cents
a bushel (on as much as 35 per
cent of the allotment’s normal pro
duction).
The chairman pointed out that
the 1965 wheat program offers
growers a number of options
which were not available in 1964 —
options which provide growers
with opportunities to improve
their wheat income. For instance,
the 1965 program offers an oppor
tunity to growers in high-risk
areas to overplant their wheat al
lotment as insurance against crop
failure and still qualify for certi
ficates and for loans on all but
the “excess” wheat provided the
excess is stored under bond.
Booth listed the following gen
eral steps for participation in qua
lifying for wheat-support loans and
for marketing certificates in 1965:
1. Sign up to take part in the
program. The signup in winter
wheat areas extends from August
24 through October 2.
2. Have an acreage of wheat no
larger than your farm allotment
unless you plan to use the storage
under-bond provisision or the sub
stitution privilege.
3. Keep within the wheat allot
ment or permitted acreage for any
other farm in which you have an
interest. (Excess wheat from other
farms may be stored under bond).
4. Keep within all other allot
ments established for the partici
pating farm. (Feed grains are not
considered allotment crops, but
there is a permitted acreage for
feed grains if you take part in the
feed grain program.)
5. Add to the farm’s conserva
tion base an acreage of cropland
devoted to approved conservation
uses equal to 11.11 per cent of the
farm’s wheat allotment. (There
will be no diversion payment on
this 11.11 per cent acreage. Provi
sion is made for diverting addi
tional acreage for planting.)
6. Meet other overall provisions
of the program, such as preventing
weed growth and not harvesting or
grazing diverted acreage unless ap
proved by the ASC County Com
j mittee.
Growers who are interested in
overplanting wheat and storing the
excess under bond should discuss
this option with the county com
mittee at the time of filing an
application to take part in the
1965 wheat program.

SOIL CONSERVATION
HOUSTON
COUNTY |#L
BY JACK C. MILLER
Our landowners in Houston
county, cooperating with their Oc
mulgee Soil and Water Conserva
tion District, have found that the
use of winter legumes in a well
planned rotation is one of the
best methods of adding fertility
to their soils. They also find that
when properly established, these
winter legumes also reduce soil
erosion and conserve much of the
plant food that becomes available
during the winter and spring
months.
Our conservation farmers know
that fertile soil must not only
contain adequate amounts of phos
phate, potash, calcium and other
minerals, but must have nitrogen
. and organic matter. And they find
. that winter legumes supplied
. abundantly with mineral elements
are well adapted to furnish this
nitrogen and organic matter in
large amounts .... and as an ex
tra bonus they get erosion control,
soil and water conservation, con
trol of plant food leaching, im
proved tilth or physical condition
of the soil and increased yields
of following crops . . . they can’t
lose for winning.
Good growth of winter legumes
.... blue lupine, sweet lupine,
vetch, austrian winter peas, or
crimson clover .... is adding to
their soils the nitrogen equivalent
to 400 to 600 pounds of nitrate of
soda andd the same amount of
organic matter that is contained in
five to six tons of manure per
acre. And another BONUS ....
drought insurance .... the in
creased organic matter in the soil
aids in carrying the cotton, corn,
pender and taters through the
dry seasons. That organic matter,
which becomes soil humus, soaks
up and holds moisture like a blot
ter.
Many of the fellows . . . those
with cattle to feed ... get another
bonus winter feed or grazing.
They may mix in some small grain
or ryegress with the legumes. The
favorite mixtures are ryegress and
crimson clover, or oats and vetch,
or rye and vetch.
W. E. jumped the gun on the
rural recreation deal ... he has
been at it a long time and has
excellent swimming and picnick
ing facilities at his Vinson Valley
Lake. Other conservation prac
tices established on the Vinson
farm include reforestation, wood
land management and pasture es
tablishment. To furnish hay and
grazing for his fine beef herd, Mr.
Vinson has some mighty fine Coas
tal Bermuda grass and Bahia grass
pastures ... he just planted an
other 15 acres in Coastal and plans
to plant more.

FOR GEORGIA CONSUMERS
Q. Why are frozen food proces
sors using tab-tear cartons?
A. Wherever a tight seal was
necessary on a wrapperless fro
zen food carton, opening of the
carton become a problem. The tab
tear devices make opening such
cartons truly convenient. It is not
an addition to the box but a clev
erly cut and worked out part of
the one-piece board.
Q. What frozen foods are packed
In tab-tear cartons?
A. Nearly all areas of frozen
food production except juice con
centrates are being packaged in

these cartons. Two types are being
used—the tab-tear across the top
and the zip-around tab.
Q. Is there a poly-lined paper
carton on the market that can be
heated?
A. Yes, A polyethylene-lined
waxed bucket which can be heated
in the oven up to 350 degrees F.
is now on the market. The bucket
is of heavy duty construction and
has a continuous polythylene lin
ing and a varnish coated exterior.
Q. What are the advantages of
the boil-in-bags?
A. Check to see if the display
cabinet is being held at zero de
grees. Select packages that are not
torn, mashed, dirty or soft. Pack
frozen foods in an insulated bag or
double paper bag at the market.
Card of Thanks
I would like to take this means
of thanking each of my friends
and neighbors for all the gifts,
cards, flowers and visits during
my recent illness. You will always
be remembered.

Take the products home imme
diately and store under refrigera
tion until ready to prepare. All
frozen foods should be held at
zero degrees F. or lower.
