It would seem to us that two very different opinions will be formed by those who , read it. One will be that It Ls quite remarkable that the County is in such fine finan¬ cial shape and has such a large bank balance. Looking at it from the other side, citizens pay in their tax money for service and if serv¬ ices had been performed the bank balance wouldn’t be so large. The report shows road crews were held to a minimum and this winter weather Is showing that the county roads have suffered —- to mention just one se:vicc. Items which we missed un¬ der expenditures would appear to be several 1952 Incurred debts. Bagettes trial in Walker County comes to mind, also payment for furniture which we see in the Health Center, the second Installment pay¬ ment on the Tri-County Hos- ! pital Authority and the Tax Commissioner’s expense ac¬ count are a few we spotted. There .probably is a reason these items were not included. The next quarterly report, published in April, should be of interest to us all.

McMahan Something has begun in Trenton which, should it suc¬ ceed, will be the first of a se¬ ries of projects which will make Trenton a new town— with a new face and a new spirit. Citizens of Trenton will be the first to tell you that there Is a shortage of co-operative spirit, that it seems impossible to get anything done that will make the town THEIR town. All this may be changed in the very near future. The Trenton Community Council is in the process of organiza¬ tion and once It gets started, will be the stepping stone to a better community. I The idea that some of us had upon learning council plans was that those respond¬ ing to this project would be interested in further improve¬ ment, such as clean-up and beautification of the town. | The success of this venture depends on co-operation, Since the churches have su h a strong membership, unifica¬ tion of all denominations with civic organizations toward better lvlng in the community will be necessary if the citizens want to have a town to be proud of, complete with neigh¬ borly spirit.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1953 County Agents Column Newly established pasture usually does best if grazed close enough to keep down na¬ tive weeds and grasses. If it is impractical to graze the area, or if grazing does not control weeds, the area should be mowed as often as necessary The following pasture man¬ agement rules will help in maintaining a desirable pas¬ ture. 1. The pasture should be protected from erosion until it becomes well established. Drainage ditches on lowland hould be kept op‘en so that water can drain freely. The best pasture plants do not thrive on poorly-drained soil. If livestock are allowed to graze on boggy areas, they will injure the plants and soil. 2. The pasture should be cross fenced so that control grazing can be practiced. If the growth of pasture plants gets ahead of the livestock and becomes rank, as it often does on well-fertilized pastures in j the spring and early summer, 1 the excess growth should be mowed for hay or grass silage for fall and winter feeding. These mowings also increase the quality of the grazing and keep the plants in a palatable, vigorous condition. 3. Over-grazing should ne¬ ver be done as it is very inju¬ rious to pasture stands. In planning grazing systems, suf¬ ficient acreage should be de¬ voted to pastures so that over- grazing, especially during cer¬ tain periods of the year, will not be necessary. 4.

Many well established pastures in Georgia have “run out” and have been taken over by undesirable plants because of the lack of maintenance f fertilizer. In general, if a pas¬ ture has been established ac¬ to the recommenda- 1 tions given above, the follow- j fertilization program will supply the plant nutrients re¬ quired 1. On the fescue and fescue mixtures apply 400 to ! 600 pounds of 4-12-12 in late umm.r. Apply 200 pounds of nitrate of soda or equivalent in October. For additional grazing, hay, grass silage or seed production, apply 200 pounds of nitrate soda or equi¬ in February or early month. 2. On Dallis grass, lespedeza and white clover pasture an application of 400 to 600 lbs. of such fertilizer as 0-12-12 be applied annually in the late summer or early fall. the legumes in the mix¬ tures supply some nitrogen, an additional application or around 200 pounds of nitrate of soda or its equivalent should be applied in July if more sum¬ grazing is wanted. On this type pasture, a ton of lime usually required every 3 to 5 years. 3. On the pasture consist¬ ing primarily of Bermuda grass, 400 to 600 pounds of 4-12-12 in the early spring and additional applications ' of ni¬ trogen during the summer as needed will produce good Braz¬ ing from Bermuda. If lespede¬ za is growing with the Bermu¬ da grass, heavy applications of nitrogen increase the growth of the grass and the lespedeza will gradually go out of the mixture. 4. Fertilizer is not only es¬ sential for growth of pasture plants, but also greatly im- proves the quality of the graz¬ from the standpoint of mineral and protein content. It also increases the payabil¬ ity. PUBLIC INVITED TO GARDEN CLUB TEA The public is invited to the Garden Club’s Silver Tea Fe¬ bruary 5 at the home of Mrs. E. A.
