Last year the army worm
caused some trouble in the cot
ton in some areas of the state.
The southwest portion of the
state seemed to have the worst
attack.
There is no way to know what
to expect this year so may I urge
you to be on the lookout for any
insect that seems new to you or
for the beet armyworm if you
know what it looks like. Please
report your findings so that con
trol measures may be taken as
soon as possible.
This insect can damage many
other crops, too, so it is very im
portant that we know where it is
and what it is doing.
The most distinctive char
acteristic of the larvae is a small
blacg spot on each side o f t h e
second body segment behind the
head.
The adults are grayish-brown
with light-gray markings on the
front wings. The hindwings are
whitish with a dark band near
the outer edge.
If you see the larvae or the
moth, contact me for futher in
formation.

COTTON NEEDS WATER
Cotton needs water in a light
manner for the first sixty days
of growth. The demand for
moisture becomes heavy later
when the squares start setting.
This heavy demand for water
continues through the fruiting
penoo. This being the case it is
neces mry for the cotton to have
good moisture from the first
blooms until about three-fourths
of the bolls are mature.
If you have an irrigation sys
tem. you can really control the
moisture for the cotton. Re
search has shown that the ideal
time to irrigate is at night while
the blooms are closed, but. this
is not practical, and research
data has also shown that, good
results were obtained when the
water was applied during the

r HERBICIDE PRECAUTIONS
j AROUND THE HOME
e j There are certain things that
-I you f should consider when you
s! are using herbicides to control
I the weeds around your lawn.
1 1 Know the herbicide and its
- capabilities. Use herbicides that
' are recommended, and at the
rate and method of application
• recommended.
1 Be sure you clean the sprayer
' ; after using. This is next to im
' > possible with 2-4,D, so if you use
Jit make certain that you use
1 another sprayer for another
! herbicide.
■ ’ Speaking of another sprayer,
‘ it is also good if you use differ-
I ent sprayers for herbicides and
1 fungicides.
Again, may I urge you to fol

FOREST INDUSTRY’
Did you know that 69 percent I
! of the area of Georgia is in for- I
That’s true, and 93 percent of [
; the forest acreage is privately
I owned. Os this private acreage,
i farmers own 58 percent. The
average Georgia farm is 52 per- I
; cent woodland, too.
These are just a few facts
I about the forest industry in the
I state.
We may also add that the to
tal raw value ol forest products
; sold by Georgia’s timberland
owners is around 198 million dol
| lars ayear. The forest Industry is
i valued at 978 million dollars a :
year. |
As for ranking, Georgia Is the
i fourth ranking state in the na- j
lion in lumber production, and
; is second in the nation in pulp
wood production Georgia leads
| the South in pulpwood produc
i tion.
| Georgia produces 80 percent
of the nation’s total supply of
^>um "rosin and turpentine.
So you can see that the forests
of tin’ state and of Chattooga
j County are really worth a great I
I deal to the economy, s o why!

Take Education More Seriously,
Talmadge Urges in Atlanta
Georgia’s U. S. Herman E.
Talmadge, a firm believer ini
better education as a means of i
a better life for all Americans, I
has put together what he called
“the winning combination” in
education which he said could
open the door to "unlimited op
portunities and progress.”
Referring to what he said was
“the most critical need of edu
cation today, Sen. Talmadge
told the educators:
“It is the need for well trained
and dedicated classroom teach
ers who will employ their God
given talents to inspire the
young to partake of knowledge,
and alert and interested stu
dents who willingly open their
minds to the wonderful world of
learning, and for parents who
know how to support education
without obstructing and inter-,
ferring with it. This is the win-!
nlng combination.”
He continued; “Too many
men and women ill the class
rbomT today take lea’PWffig ng!
more seriously than” their pupils. [
Too often the classroom is 'ust I
a stepping stone to something j
else, and teaching just a tem
porary job pending matrimony. ;
“If our boys and girls had the!
same mania for books as they I
hysterically expressed recently |
over four shaggy-headed boys
from England, then all of us
could breathe a lot easier about;
their education and their future.!
"If parents would diligently
instruct their children in mat-1
ters that need to be taught in 1
the home and leave teachers
alone to teach that which be- !
longs in the schools, then I!
think we would see a marked [
improvement in both our family
life and educational institutions.,
"Going forward together, there [
are no limits to the progress we !
can make, or the opportunities I
that can be created.”
Turning to financial short
comings of education, Talmadge
declared that "they point to
deficiencies not within the
school prgram itself, but in pub
lic support ”
He urged teachers and school
don't plan to put more time on
your forests so that they will
pay their way and make profit,
I too.

administrators to “stop being
sensitive and defensive “about
their financial needs. “I think
they should let their critics
know exactly where their re
sponsibility lies,” he asserted.
The Senator praised efforts
throughout the Southeast to
concentrate more heavily upon
vocational education. On that
point he said:
“Never before has it been more
important that we send our
young people out into the world
well-trained and fully prepared
to give whatever it asks of them.
“No longer are a strong back
and a willingness to work all
that one needs to find satisfac
tory employment. Technology
and automation are changing
all that, and a premium is
placed upon a high degree of
specialized skill and training.
And for those who don’t have it,
the penalties are great,”

College Costs Climb
About 6% Each Year
The cost of a college educa-|
tion, now running from SI,OOO to
$3,000 a year, is continuing;
upward at the rate of about 5%
to 7% annually, according to
Changing Times, the Kiplinger
Magazine. An article in the cur
rent issue estimates that the
cost of four years of college for
a youngster now in the sixth
grade will range at least be
tween $14,000 and SIB,OOO and
“prqbably much more.’’
For a student headed for col
lege this year, annual costs are
likely to be $2,000 or more, the
magazine points out. At any
well-known private college the
figure might run over $3,000 a *
year. At a state university it
could be as little as SI,OOO.
But by 1965, these costs might;
well run around $2,500 at public!
institutions, $3,500 at private !
colleges; and by 1970, the figures:
could be around $3,600 and
$4,600.
“In the face of those stag
gering figures, will you be able
to afford to send your child to
college?” the magazine asks.
“The answer lies in how early
you begin to prepare and how
thoroughly you explore all the
ways there are of dealing with
the money problem.”
Most families, according to
the article, tend to make these
four mistakes in dealing with
the question of college costs:
they underestimate expenses;
they are unrealistic about their
ability to pay; they give too
little attention to low-cost edu
cation opportunities; they get
started too late.
If, when the time comes, term
bills are a serious problem, the
most convenient way to deal
with them probably will be by
borrowing, the article continues.
Two types of loans—those that
are long-term, low interest and .
usually based on need, and the !
new commercial installment
loans—will help many families
whose funds are insufficient for I

college costs. >
The most popular loans, the
magazine reports, are offered
through colleges under the Na
tional Defense Education Act. I
The maximum loan is SI,OOO a
year, although the average lent!
is SSOO. Both repayment of prin
cipal and the 3% interest begin!
a year after the student leaves;
college, and he has ten years to
pay.
Installment loan plans are
springing up all the time, and
though rates are still somewhat
high, competition is expected to
bring them down. Many colleges
offer installment programs as a
convenience and others may do
so in the future. In the mean
time, a Changing Times, survey
turned up well over 100 banks
and several finance companies
that have educational install
ment plans, and nearly 100
o thers that are considering
them.
Another way suggested by the
magazine to handle college costs
is through a combined term in
surance - prepayment program,
similar to the installment plan
except that the payments begin
before the student enters col
lege, say the spring before, or
much earlier. Thus parents
really are not borrowing, but
budgeting for college. Typical
costs include: $25 entry fee, 50
cent monthly service charge, and
insurance premiums of about
$1 per month per SI,OOO. Total
cost for budgeting $4,000 at the
rate of SI,OOO a year could be
around $250.
“The surest way to be able to
pay for college, of course, is to
put the money aside over the
years, preferably in a secure
place and at a good interest
rate,” the article continues.
Among the plans suggested are!
cash savings accounts, savings ।
bonds and stocks. A monthly de
posit of $27.40 at 4% interest in l
a bank, savings and loan asso- i
ciation or credit union would!
yield $4,000 in ten years. $18.75
per month in U. S. Savings E
bonds would yield $4,461 in 15
years. “Because of their initial
slow growth, bonds should not
be used in a short-term pro
gram.” the magazine cautions.
As for stocks, the article
advises that carefully selected
common stocks or an invest-j
ment trust can be used as part;
of a savings plan. If investments’
are wise and if, when the time;
comes to sell, prices are right,;
they will provide the best pos- j
sible hedge inflation and rising!
education costs. “But stocks are
unpredictable and a poorly con
ceived investment program can
be disastrous. Don’t use stocks,
and particularly mutual funds,
for short-term savings. Don’t ।

Success depends on getting
started early and keeping at it
regularly, the article notes. “A

is to set a specific goal—so much

your child enters college,” then
exercising the necessary will
power to make regular payments
