On Farm Program
U. S. Sen. Herman E. Tai-)
madge’s comment on President j
Eisenhower’s message to the bob- -
tail session of Congress is inter
esting and timely, especially be
cause of what he said about the ।
farm program. This is what he ■
had to say:
“The general premise of the
President's message security
with solvency is one with which
the overwhelming majority of
Americans will agree.
“His recommendations for an
expanded military effort with
emphasis upon greater capabili
ties for the Strategic Air Corn
land, modernization of the Army
and acceleration of missile and
Polaris submarine development
are most gratifying. His insist
ence upon maintenance of fiscal
responsibility is to be applauded.
His continued endorsement of;
the discredited Benson farm pol
icies is discouraging, but a de
gree of encouragement Is to be
derived from his admission that
perhaps a “different approach”
toward the solution of farm
problems may be needed. His
proposal for enactment of addi
tional, divisive force legislation
in the field of civil rights is a
deplorable surrender to election
year politics.
"I shall give my wholehearted 1
support to all measures needed
for an adequate defense but :
shall oppose with all the vigor '
of my being any and all pro- ]
posals for subjecting the Ameri- :
can people to the caprices of fed
eral officials and agencies in
the exercise of their constitu
tional rights as free men and

Consider Poultry
Science lor Career,
Students Advised
High school graduates in Geor- :
gia who are interested in con- j
tinuing their education and who
have not chosen their career are
being urged by Georgia Poultry
Federation President A C. Smith,
Jr., of Cumming, to take a good
look at Poultry Science.
Smith, pointing out that poul
try is both a business and a
science, stated that there are
tremendous opportunities in
poultry, particularly In Georgia
which leads the nation in broil
er production and is moving for
ward in other fields.
In poultry there are sound
career opportunities in: Produc
tion, nutrition, management, ac
counting, processing, sales,
teaching, extension work, jour
nalism, research, and many oth
ers.
Smith stated that there are
some scholarships and assist
ance available to qualified stu
dents desiring to enter the fine
Poultry School at the Univer
sity of Georgia. Anyone inter
ested in additional information
is urged to contact Federation
President Smith at Cumming or
Executive Director Abit Massey
at Federation Headquarters at
Gainesville.
Highway Safety
Responsibility
Os Each Driver
Ever since becoming director
of the Georgia Department of
Public Safety 18 months ago. Col.
William P Trotter has constant
ly tried to get through to the
public that the success or fail
ure of a traffic safety program
is largely up to the public itself.
“The attitude of the public
towards traffic violations is a
major factor in the high death
rate on the highways,” he re
peatedly has said in pointing out
that as long as the individual
driver disobeys traffic laws and
breaks them with no thought of
the consequences, deaths and
injuries will result.
“Until public support is given
enforcement of traffic rules,
safety on the highways cannot
be assured," the former law
maker emphasizes. “Public sup
port is the weakest link in the
: program.”
And now it appears the public
1 safety director’s preachment is
getting through to some. For ex
ample. at least one Georgia ed
: itor has taken up the cry for
, public support of and individual
responsibility for public safety.
In commenting on the State
Patrol’s 1960 annual report,
which showed that 990 persons
| were killed and 18,511 others
women
“I am not optimistic about the
passage of a realistic and eliec
j tive farm program this year, but
I shall lend my every effort to
ward seeking at every opportu
nity the enactment of one along
i the lines of the bill I already
have proposed
“It is my hope that this re
cess session of Congress will ap
ply itself sincerely and diligent
ly to its pending business and
leave political issues to the can
didates and the voters.”

Houston Farmer
Gets High Colton
Yields Year By Year
A. E. Harris, of Houston coun-
I ty, is a Georgia farmer who
seems to have the knack and the
know-how to make high cotton
yields year-after-year, according
to D. L. Branyon, Extension cot
ton agronomist at the Univer- .
sity of Georgia.
In each of the past three years
Mr. Harris’ cotton yields have •
qualified him for membership in
the Georgia Bale and a Half
Club. This yield of more than
750 pounds of lint per acre for
three years in succession earned
him a Gold Key membership in
the Club.
In 1959 Mr. Harris made an
average yield of 1,212 pounds of
lint on 73 acres of cotton, one of
the highest per acre yields in the
state.
He planted Coker 100 seed and
followed soil test recommenda
tions by putting down 800 pounds
of 4-12-12 fertilizer at planting
and 300 pounds of 15-0-15 side
dressing soon after the cotton
was chopped. The fields were
limed in 1957.
To keep insects under control,
Mr. Harris made 18 applications
of insecticide.
County Agent George Allmond
says that Mr. Harris follows
closely the cotton production
recommendations of the Exten
sion Service and consistently
makes good yields.

"This is not a pretty picture. ■
It reveals that many of us are I
careless while on our highways.
It lets us know that too many

of our highway manners.
“There is room for a lot of
improvement and it is not going

own safety and the safety of

“The law enforcement officers ’
cannot do the job alone, no mat
ter how many men arc employed

thing boils down to individual
responsibility. There must be an
awakening of the public con
science in the use of our high
