Michael Settles, Becky Kemp
Becky Kemp will marry
Michael Settles in Feb.
Mr. and Mrs. Wainwright Kemp
ot Perry announce the engagement
of the daughter, Rebecca (Becky)
Sheryl, to Michael Settles, of
Warner Robins.
Becky is a 1992 graduate of Perry
High School and is a student at
Macon College. She is employed
by Robins Federal Credit Union in
Warner Robins. She is the grand
daughter of Mrs. Topsy Arnold of
Macon, the late Tully Arnold, the

Wet weather damages
many leafy vegetables
The drippy, dreary weather that
opened the new year was even more
miserable for farmers with fields of
leafy vegetables.
"In cool, dry weather we have
very little disease spread in veg
etable crops-but this weather was
just the opposite," said Danny Gay,
a plant pathologist with the
University of Georgia Extension
Service.
"With 70 degree temperatures and
100 percent humidity, we have
maximum disease pressure on veg
etables," Gay said. "It's especially
tough on any of the cole crops:
kale, cabbage, mustard, turnips and
collards."
Georgia has nearly 18,000 acres
of those crops, grown mostly for
fresh produce markets, and another
10,000 acres of onions, which arc
also hit hard by diseases in persis
tently wet weather.
The weather warmed after
Christmas in Georgia, and through
the first week of January, the
National Weather Service reported
that daily low temperatures never
dipped below 60 in much of South
Georgia, where most of the state's
vegetables arc grown.
The first dozen days of the new
year were nearly all overcast, foggy
and rainy, with the humidity hang
ing around 100 percent.
The state's cabbage crop has been
the hardest hit, Gay said, with black
rot disease threatening widespread
damage.
"The warm, humid weather is
perfect for black rot spread," he
said. "And it's devastating a lot of
growers."
Unfortunately, black rot isn't the
only disease that thrives in wet
conditions.
"The number two problem is
downy mildew, or blue mold,
which spreads fast in wet, moder
ately cool conditions," Gay said.
"1 hat's in all of the cole crops. And
in mustard and turnips, leaf spot is
a real problem."
While unseasonal warm weather
is pan ol the problem Gay said, the
main culprit is the wet part.
"Water is absolutely necessary for
the spread of these diseases," he
said. "These fungi spread by spores,
and die spores have to have free wa
ter-they have to land on a wet spot
on the leaf and remain wet for 12 to
.-4 hours to germinate
If you have a light dew and die
sun comes out and dries it off, die
spores just won't germinate," he
said.
Vegetable growers routinely
spray their crops with fungicides on
a preventative schedule, he said.

Northside High School and is em
ployed by Bassett Furniture. He is
the grandson of Cathy and Ray

Moncree Settles and June Settles.
The wedding is planned for
Saturday, Feb. 13, 2 p.m. at
Shirley Hills Baptist Church in
Warner Robins. Friends of the cou
ple arc invited.
But once the disease gets in there
we really don't have any fungicides
to effectively treat the crop until the
weather improves."
Farmers who were lucky enough
to have sprayed their crops just be
fore the rains started should fare
much better than those who didn't,
he said.
"If they got a spray on the crop
and got it dry before the rains, it
should give them adequate control
for seven to 14 days," he said.

Local book
club holds
meeting on
January 20
The Wednesday Afternoon Book
Club met Jan. 20 at the lovely
home of Mrs. Tommie Hunt with
Mrs. Floy Underwood as co-host
ess. Fourteen members enjoyed
tasty refreshments before President
Carolyn Etheridge opened the meet
ing with a prayer for America and
the new administration on Inaugural
Day.
Hunt read appropriate quotations
giving guideposts for the New
Year.
Mrs. Jo Hunt gave a capable re
view of Anita Bryant’s A New Day,
in the absence of Eloisc Gallcmorc,
who prepared the review. Gallcmorc
was at Emory University Hospital
with her ill husband.
A New Dav is a triumphant story
ol forgiveness, healing and recov
ery, Anita's painful yet victorious
account of picking up the pieces
and putting her life back together.
It's a loving, straightforward story,
but more a rich sourcebook for all
who stiller alienation and misunder
standing.
