This Week's Personality
is Burton B Kenimer, Ris¬
. .
ing Fawn merchan and farm¬
er. wha got his first-glimpse of
life in 1903 at Henegar, Ala.
The son of a rural mail car¬
rier. Mr. Kenimer attended the
grammar and high schools of
Flat Rock, Ala., a Methodist
school, and Birmingham South¬
ern College. He was then qual¬
ified to teach in Alabama
schools, which he did for se¬
veral years
In 1926. he married Miss Rho-
newyn Gaines, who was also a
teacher. They ctntinued their
profes ions together in Chat¬
tooga and Walker County
schools.
Being with children was al¬
ways a source of pleasure for
the K nimers and made teach¬
ing an enjoyable experience;
however, always in the back of
their minds lurked the desire
to settle down and make a real
home.
The opp rtunity was given
them when their first child,
.Joye, was born in 1929 A year
later, Mr. Kenimer moved his
family to Fla. Rock, where he
built a home and began farm¬
ing.
During the year 1933, he was
in Hollywood, Florida, helping
with the enlarging of the Ri¬
verside Military Academy. 1935
saw him in Rising Fawn in the
mploy of his cousin, W. H.
Kenimer and R. P. Fricks. (The
store was later taken over by
Mr. Fricks.) ,
Mr. Burton Kenimer then
w rked on both mountains and
up and down the valley with a
rolling s ore” getting acquaint¬
ed with many fine people. He
was forced to retire from this
work due to ill health, so he
built a small store and filling
station at Rising Fawn which
he and his wife operate.
Though the years have come
to them four more children,
Carol, a student at the Univer¬
sity cf Georgia, Don, who at¬
tends Dade High, Sam and
Bob, students at Rising Fawn
Junior High, and a son-in-law,
W. M. Austin, who married
Joyce.
Wha. spare time Mr. Keni¬
mer has is spent across the
creek, on his farm, which he
enjoys improving a little at a
time. The boys also have an
interest in fjbrming, especially
since they are raising a 4-H
steer each.
The Kenimer family resides
in an attractive white, asphalt-
shingled home, which Mr. K.
drew the plans for,, and built
himself.
Gannon Suggests
Tips On Growing
Strong Pullets
“Use good feeds and see that
pullets have plenty,” says Ar¬
thur Gannon, Extension Ser¬
vice poultryman, in giving tips
to thousands of Georgians who
are expected to grow out com¬
mercial laying flocks for the
first time in 1952.
Pullets can be grown to lay¬
ing age in confinement, but it
is better to move them from
the brooder house to range
shelters on pasture at six to 10
weeks of age, Gannon explain¬
ed this week.
Gannon advises placing mash
in feeders in the morning for
birds to eat by 2 P. M. Grains
then should be scattered over
She ground in the afternoon.
“Af.er pullets begin to lay,
move them at once to their
P^manent laying house where
they will be kept in confine-
fment from then on,” the poul-
| speciali5t advises . It may be
desirable to cut down on feed
after the birds galn full body
, weight, he says.
Gannon said that the College
o{ Agriculture Extension Ser-
vice a . Athens has a series of
seven leaflets available on
c;mmerc ial egg production. Co¬
les be obtained {rom lo _
c or from the
Ex ension Service at Athens .
