You worried about mildew and
moths in the summer months.
Now that those dangers are not
so likely, it's time to worry about
a winter pest—the silverfish. If
you store cottons that are dirty
or if you store starched cottons
you are just issuing an invita
tion to the tiny silverfish to
come and spend the winter in
your closet.
Washing cottons carefully and
storing them without starch are
ways to prevent silverfish. And
here is another thing that will
keep them away from your soon
to be stored summer things—
spray closets, chests or garment
bags with five percent DDT sur
face or residual spray.
As you put summer cottons
away, make an inventory of
what is needed. If there are rips
or tears, mend them now while
you are thinking about it. Take
off any metal ornaments or pins
Row Crops and Pastures
Make Good Combination
A good combination of row
crops and pastures is paying off
for Dennis A. Smith of Terrell
County.
Mr. Smith produces an abun
dance of summer grazing from
Coastal Bermuda. He fertilizes
it with 500 pounds of 4-12-12
fertilizer and 80 pounds of
nitrogen and cuts excess growth
for hay.
This farmer produces more
than a bale of cotton per acre
each year. This year he has
fertilized his Cokers 100A with
850 pounds of 5-10-15 and 60
pounds of nitrogen per acre. He
usually puts on 11 to 12 applica
tions of insecticides to control
cotton pests.
Mr. Smith averaged 80 bushels
of corn per acre last year, pro
ducing some to sell after feeding
his livestock. He does this by
using plenty of fertilizer—4so
pounds of 4-12-12 and 90 pounds
of nitrogen per acre.
Fertilizer, land plaster and
thrips control help Mr. Smith
produce a good crop of peanuts
each year.
All land is limed according to
soil test recommendations and
added that lime and fertilizer
are paying off in high yields
that make for efficient farming.

that might leave rust marks on
the garment.
Whether you store ironed or
unironea cottons is a matter of
choice. If you have plenty of
storage space, you may prefer to
store them unironed. If space is
at a premium at your house, you
may want to iron cottons be
cause ironed and folded clothes
take up less space.
Os course, you will want to
give your best suits and summer
outfits more particular care.
Store them in a garment bag—
hanging. They will keep their
shape much better. If at all pos
sible, store hats in separate
boxes. If you must store several
in one box, be sure it is large
enough so that the hats will not
be crushed. Hats should be
stored with the crown up. Stuff
ing hats with tissue paper helps
keep them in good shape, too.
Don’t Guess
At Value
Os Timber
Many Georgia woodland own
ers are selling timber without
knowing what they have to sell.
Extension Forester George D.
Walker of the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture
drew this conclusion after he
tested hundreds of woodland
owners on their skill at judging
the value of timber.
At a series of forestry meet
ings, the woodland owners were
asked to estimate the value of
an acre of pines. The timber had
been measured beforehand by
Extension foresters and county
agents.
How accurate were most of
the estimates? “About as ac
curate as a two-dollar pistol at
a shooting match!” Mr. Walker
declared.
At one of the meetings, all
guesses were below the actual
value of the timber, with the
average estimate being S3OO be
low the actual value of $495.
At another, 187 woodland
owners and other persons turned
in estimates. Ninety-two percent
missed the actual value by at
least SIOO, and 80 percent were
off at least S2OO per acre.
Nearly all of these guesses
were below the actual value, the
forester emphasized.
“These experiences show why
we advise owners to have their
timber measured by a profes
sional forester before making a
sale,” he said. “In many cases
the cost of having their timber
measured would be the most
profitable investment they could
make.”
meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the
Summerville Recreation Center.
A business session will be held
and all members are urged to
attend, H. F. Ponder, president,
announces.
Stiffer Standards Proposed
For Students Who Wish to
Engage in Sports, Band, Etc.
A Summerville parent Tuesday proposed that the
Chattooga Board of Education pass a rule specifying that
no child will be allowed to participate in extra-curricular
activities unless he maintains a C average in all subjects.
Arch Farrar, Summerville at
torney and father of three chil
dren, made the proposal at the
school board meeting.
The suggestion was tabled for
later discussion.
The board’s present rule is
that no child may participate in
football, band, and other extra
curricular programs unless he is
passing at least three subjects.
This is the Georgia High School
Association suggestion.
Mr. Farrar said he was inter
ested in raising the standards of
education in the county.
“I feel that we owe to the chil
dren of this county the best high
school education we can give
them commensurate with their
needs,” he declared.
“In our county we have only a
very small percentage of stu
dents who go on to college which
means that by far the majority
receive only a high school di
ploma.”
Mr. Farrar said he felt that
activities such as football, bas
ketball, track and all other
sports, bands, cheerleaders, etc.
are a necessary part of high
school life.
“However, they are not the
reason these children are in
school,” he said. “ . . . I feel that
these activities should be a priv
ilege and that a student should
earn the right to participate.”
Mr. Farrar said he felt the
parents of the county would
wholeheartedly support his pro
posal.
Triangle
Center to
Open in Oct,
The Triangle Shopping Center
at Trion is expected to open be
tween October 1-15.
However, the opening — al
ready delayed because of bad
weather — could be further de
layed if there is a siege of rain,
officials said this week.
The huge center, being built
by a group of local investors, is
located in South Trion at the
intersection of the old and new
U.S. 27 routes. Harold Bishop has
been hired to supervise the con
struction with several firms
hired to do various phases of
work.
The Center will house a Hurley
Food Center, a Redford’s 5 and
10, a Riegel Bargain Loft, Hor
ton Pharmacy, Abney’s Depart
ment Store, Glen Hendrix Bar
ber Shop, Joyce’s House of Flow
ers, McWhorter Jewelers, T. L.
Pickle Hardware, Lessie’s Beauty
Shop and possibly the Trion Post
Office.
Trion Department Store, which
has been operated by Riegel Tex
tile Corporation in mid-Trion for
decades, will close when the cen
ter opens. The space will be uti
lized for the manufacturing
phase of Riegel operations and
Riegel’s only venture in the mer
cantile field in Trion will be the
Bargain Loft at Triangle.

GARBAGE TRUCK

three days. Mayor S. A.
Dunson announced this

He urged the cooperation

noting that the substitute

somewhat slower basis than
the regular truck.
Davis Says
Entire West
At Stake
Congressman John Davis said
this week that the thing really
at stake in Berlin is “the free
dom of the entire western
world.”
“The president has taken his
stand at Berlin, exposed as Ber
lin is,” the congressman said.
“He has promised to protect the
freedom of the West Berliners.
But what is really at stake, and
what has been at stake all the
time as the world can now see
clearly, is the freedom of the en
tire western world.”
The Seventh District repre
sentative made the statement in
his weekly newsletter from
Washington.
The Russian decision to re
sume nuclear testing raises some
“awesome considerations,” Rep.
Davis said.
The congressman said he goes
along with the theory that Rus
sia has long been itching to re
sume such tests but that she has
held off up to now in the hope
that she could provoke the
United States into resumption
of tests before she renewed her
own.
“When it appeared that the
United States could not be prod
ded into this action, Russia then
dived head first into a renewed
testing program designed to en
able her to catch up with the
United States in nuclear de
velopment,” he added.
