Urging Chattooga County farmers
to treat their cotton seed before
planting season. Rainy weather
which prevailed, during the cotton
picking season caused cotton seed
to become loaded with seed-borne
diseases.
Unless cotton seed is treated with
Ceresan or some equally effective
material to kill these seed-borne
diseases, stands will be poor next
spring and the average yields will
be down considerably.
When cotton seed is not treated,
seed-borne disease attack and kill
the seed as they begin to sprout.
Germination tests made of several
lots of seed from the 1945 crop
showed 60 per cent germination for
untreated seed and germination of
80 per cent or higher when seed
from the same lot was treated with
Ceresan.”
Delinting will produce almost as
large yield increases as treating,
but combining delinting and seed
treatment will give the largest yield.
Seed not delinted but treated pro
duced 150 to 200 pounds more cot
ton than untreated seed in experi
ments. Delinted and treated seed
produced 200 to 350 pounds more
cotton than undelinted and un
treated seed.
“For maximum yields, there must
be 25,000 to 30,000 cotton plants per
acre.” To obtain this number of
plants the cotton must be planted
in three to three and one-half foot
rows, with cotton spaced six to eight
inches in the drill and two plants
to the hill.
Farmers rarely have more than
80 per cent of a perfect stand when
picking begins. Securing more near
ly perfect stands would increase
per acre yields substantially.
The kind of weather which pre
vails this spring will have much to
do with the increase in percentage
of stands and in yield per acre for
treated as compared with untreat
ed seed. The more unfavorable the
weather conditions at planting
time, the more the increase will
be from treatments.
Treatment of seed not only makes
a better stand possible, but the
treatment increases the health and
vigor of the plants, enabling them
to produce maximum yields. The
cost of treatment is small and the
seed can be treated any time be
tween now and planting time. Geo.
Kling here at Summerville will de
lint and treat your seed to plant
this spring.

FARM BUREAU NEWS
Chattooga County Farm Bureau
held its regular quarterly meeting
last Saturday in the courthouse at
Summerville.
J. P. Agnew, president of the
county chapter, presided. The visi
tors were recognized, and then the
main speaker, Herbert E. Woodruff,
of the state office, was introduced.
Mr. Woodruff talked on the impor
tance of a farm organization and
said we must work together and
present our problems as an organ
ization before we could be heard.
He gave as an example the re
fund that farmers will receive on
tractor-used gasoline. Farmershave
been paying highway tax on gaso
line that was used in tractors on
the farm. This bill was first pre
sented to the general assembly in
1941. At that time Georgia had
only 8,000 Farm Bureau members,
and the bill was given no consid
eration, but this year Georgia has
better than 30,000 Farm Bureau
members and the bill had no oppo
sition.
Mr. Woodruff also gave many
other ways in which we farmers
here in Chattooga County have
benefitted through the work of the
Farm Bureau.
Mr. Agnew called on Will Storey
to say a few words ,after Mr. Wood
ruff had finished. Mr. Storey dis
cussed with the group the need for
a better organization here in the
county, and how we can go about
to improve it- After this the meet
ing adjourned.

LET’S STOP BERNING FOREST CHILDREN
MOTHER NATURE will generously plant the seedlings for our next
crop of pulpwood and sawlogs, but she is helpless to PROTECT
tTHEM FROM FIRE ... That's our job.
We have not taken this job as seriously as we should because
southern forest fires fool us by appearing less serious than they are.
They run along the ground, do little damage to mature timber, but
destroy the seedlings . . . our timber harvest of tomorrow.
Twice as many dollars from the woods would go into the pockets
of Georgians if we could sell the FIFTY PER CENT of our annual
wood growth which burns.
