Corn Delivered
To CCC to Move
in Export Lines
All of the corn from the 1967
crop produced in five Southeast
ern States and taken over by the
Commodity Credit Corporation
under the price-support program
will be moved into export chan
nels in an orderly manner as it
is delivered from farms, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture has
announced.
Warm humid climate and lack
of adequate storage facilities in
the Region make continued stor
age impractical.
The action is in line with pre
sent USDA policy of keeping
storable stocks of feed grains
owned by CCC off the market, as
announced November 8, 1967.
Since that date, CCC has with
held all sales of its corn other
than that which appeared to be
going out of condition. The corn
taken over by CCC in the South
eastern States will move into ex
port channels and will not be
sold locally as in some prior
years when markets were strong
er. CCC officials said an effort
will be made to offset these ex
ports by acquiring corn in other
producing areas where suitable
storage conditions prevail.
It is estimated that farmers in
North Carolina, Georgih, South
Carolina , Florida and Kentucky
will be delivering the corn to
CCC by August 1.
Georgians Boost
'American Way'
Have you ever heard it said,
“An entire generation of Ameri-
cans is growing up with prac
tically no knowledge of the basic
truths that made our country
great”?
Recognizing the problem one
( group of concerned Georgians
decided to do something about it.
And, from their decision, came a
national award-winning program
, entitled, “The American Way of
Life,” which promotes a better
. understanding of America’s free
enterprise system.
’ Sponsored by the Georgia
. Slate Chamber of Commerce, the
, program is presented each Mon
l day afternoon during the summer
aboard Cleopatra’s Barge on
Mountain Creek Lake at Calla
, 'way Gardens.
r Ed W. Hiles, chairman of the
Georgia Chamber’s American
t Way of Life Committee, said a
growing number of Georgians
, and out-of-state visitors have
, gained a better understanding of
American’s free enterprise sys
tem through the programs.
“The response from visitors
has been tremendous,” declared
Mr. Hiles. “In fact, many per
sons readily admit this is the
only lime anyone ever talked
to them about our ‘American Way
of Life’.”
Mr. Hiles said a number of
prominent Georgians will par
ticipate in the series which
actually is conducted aboard
Cleopatra’s Barge on beautiful
Mountain Creek Luke. Designed
to appeal to all ages, the educa
tion program is given twice each
Monday—with the barge leaving
at 4 or 5 p.m.
Bedecked with American
flags and colorful red, white and
blue bunting, Cleopatra’s Barge
offers an excellent setting for
the “American Way of Life”
program—part of a series for
which the Georgia Chamber has
received six awards from the
Freedoms Foundation, Valley
Forge, Pa.
Future speakers will include
Howard (Bo) Callaway, president
of Callaway Gardens, and
Gerald Burrows, Attorney, San
ders, Hester, Holley, Ashmore
and Boozer, Atlanta.
The June programs featured
commercial artist Morris Ward,
who illustrated a talk, “The
American Way of Life,” given by
Mrs. Mozelle Christian, manager
of the Georgia Chamber’s Edu
cation Department and Travel
Council.
Another highlight of the sum
mer program will be Mr. Hiles’
speech, “What’s Happening to
the Spirit of America,” which
also earned him a Freedoms
Foundation award. His speech
will be presented on several
Mondays in July and August.
The Georgia Chamber distri
butes copies of the Declaration
of Independence and “Your
America” color books and minia
ture flags for the children.

The eontrol of weeds and
grass in pecan groves is a very
important part of n complete pe
can production program. Keep
ing these pests in check is
especially important during the
hot summer months. This is when
the trees lose a lot of water by
transpiration. Also, they are in
the process of filling the nuts
at this time.
Disease control, especially
of scab, is almost impossible
when weeds and grass are grow
ing under the trees. Vegetation
such as small grain, vetch,
clover, Bahia grass and Bermuda
tend to hold the moisture at the
soil level. Humidity remains high
throughout the day, making con
ditions ideal for scab develop
ment. This problem is even more
acute in overcrowded groves.

See your Chevrolet dealer. His year-end
deals, on all his cars, are honestly attractive.
Witness the special savings on popular VB’s
and automatic transmissions fen all big
turists, weeds and grass can be
controlled in several ways.
One method is shallow culti
vation at regular intervals. This
' method, widely used, is possibly
one of the best. Care should be
taken, however, to cultivate
shallow. And cultivations should
never be done during the time
i the trees are maturing the nut
crop.
Many pecan growers rely on
cattle for weed and grass con
trol. This is a good practice,
but not as good us cultivation.
Although grazed, the plants still
remain on the land and compete
with the pecan trees for avail
able water and nutrients.
A third method of weed and
grass control is mowing, with
1 results about the same as graz
ing.
The method used will depend
on the grower’s preference and
situation. The main point to re
member is to control weeds and
grass in pecan groves.

The future holds more change. Rural America is in
a transition. People are learning that they can move
out from town and "live modern," enjoying low-cost
