Nixon’s Welfare Proposal
Too Costly—Gov. Maddox
ATLANTA (GPS) Gov.
Lester Maddox doesn’t think
much of the Nixon adminis
tration’s proposal to revise the
national welfare program. And
he expressed his views on the
issue in no uncertain terms in a
speech to the American Busi
ness Club in Augusta. Said the
governor:
“Look at the burden the
American taxpayer already
bears from an oftentimes
wasteful and inefficient welfare
program. Even our best efforts
to streamline this program and
improve its efficiency will be
an uphill battle against our
booming population.
“Yet, rather than to in
crease welfare’s effectiveness,
the attitude of our national
government over the last two
decades has been to smother
the growing welfare problem
with a mountain of dollars.”
Turning to the present
administration’s approach to
the problem, Gov. Maddox
asserted:
“And now, the United
States House of Representa
tives has passed a radical wel
fare revision proposal, which, if
passed by the Senate, would
make welfare away of life for
tens of millions of Americans
who would rather provide for
themselves-and could.
“It is our duty to provide
for the handicapped, the help
less, and those too old, too
young, or too sick to provide
for themselves. But the present
welfare proposal goes far
beyond that, and if it is imple
mented, I am convinced that
this program would be the
most destructive legislation in
terms of pride, personal initia
tive, and individual accomplish
ment ever to come out of the
U. S. Congress.”
The governor contended
that this proposed program
during the first year would
increase the number of welfare
recipients from 10 million to
some 22 million, and said he
believes it would increase the
number on welfare to more
than 40 million at a cost of
over SSO-billion by 1976.
“All of the additional mil
lions of persons who would be
added to the welfare rolls,
instead of having an incentive
to work, would be given an

Black walnut, which is both
beautiful and useful, is one of
the most beloved of American
trees, as well as a most valuable
commercial species. Besides
producing a wood having a rare
combination of desirable qual
ities, it is the source of nutri
tious nuts that have become a
food product of commercial
value.
Selecting the wrong site to
plant black walnut is a com
mon mistake. Avoid dry,
eroded fields, pastures and
ridgetops, gravelly stream
bottoms, clay soils, claypan
land and poorly drained flats.
For best growth, the soil
should be deep, fertile loam
soil and well drained and have
good water-holding capacity.
Site preparation and weed
control are essential for seed
ling survival and fast growth.
Fields covered with heavy sod
or dense perennial weeds and
grasses should be plowed or
disked before planting. Patches
of dense underbrush can be
removed by cutting it and
spraying the stumps with brush
killer or by spraying brush
killer directly on the foliage.
When planting forest openings,
it is not necessary to remove
the forest litter but if it is
covered with a dense sod, the
sod should be scapled around
each planting spot. When
making openings, be sure to
fell or girdle any trees that may
shade planted walnuts. Never
plant walnut trees near any de
sirable trees that may shade
planted walnuts. Never plant
teed income. And when this
happens, the productive people
of this country, who are
already carrying a heavy load,
would be burdened down with
even heavier taxes in order to
pay the tremendous welfare
bill.”
walnut trees near pines.
Seedlings purchased from
state or private nurseries for
forest planting are graded 1-
year-old trees. Seedlings should
be planted in a hole that is
wide and deep enough to avoid
doubling or twisting the roots.
Walnuts should be at least 20
feet from the edges of openings
to avoid shade and competition
from adjacent trees and 10 feet
apart. Set the trees so that the
root crown is slightly below
the surface of the ground.
When planting seeds, it is
best to collect the walnuts
yourself from local trees. Se
lect your seeds from the best
trees available since the planted
tree will look like the parent
tree. Crack a few nuts before
collecting to insure a good seed
year. The nut, when planted,
should be planted in a hole 2
or 3 inches deep. Scrape soil
into the hole, and press firmly
with your foot to eliminate air
pockets.
The black walnut will be
available for future generations
if we culture the trees as we do
our farm crops and apply new
information and techniques
provided through research.
Researchers are presently
asking landowners that have
superior quality walnut trees to
contact your county forest
ranger. When a superior strain
ot walnut is found and proven,
more landowners will be able
to obtain better planting stock
from these superior classed
trees.
