REPRESENTATIVES FROM CHATTOOGA STUDY HIGHWAY MAP
Henry Watson (Left), Hugh Henderson Attended Cedartown Meeting
COMPLETION IN 1989?
Summerville To Rome
from front page
However, the DOT hopes to
have rights-of-way from south
of Lagayette to north of
LaFatyette by the end of this
Kear or the LaFayette bypass,
e continued.
Henderson told Boulineau
and Dr. Floyd that Chattooga
County is one of the more
isolated parts of the state and
that it has only two miles of
four-lane highway.
Referring to Dr. Floi;d's use
of statistics earlier in the hear
ing, Henderson said he
understood the professor to
say that the county derives 65
percent of its income from
manufacturing. During the last
two years, he said, it has lost
2,200 jobs and with trucking
companies going to the “pig
gyback” trailers more and
more, Chattooga County will
be “in foul shape’ with only
two-lane roads in trying to at
tract industry. He urged the
four-laning of U.S. 27 to
benefit the county during the
next few years.
I-59 AND I-75
Watson discussed connec
tiné 1-59 in Alabama with [-75
in Georgia, saying a direct con
nection through Northwest
Georgia of t%ose two in
terstates would heg) boost the
area's tourism industry. He
urged that a top priority be
placed on an east-west connec
tor, a view that was echoed by
LaFayette City Manager
David Aldrich.
Such a connector might be
somewhere around the
Chattooga-Walker County line,
Aldrich said, pointing out that
many north-south connectors
are being proposed in the
state's developmental
highways plan, but &w east
west connectors in Northwest
Georgia. Floyd County officials
;fiushed for a route along
ighway 20 or U. S. 411 west
(I)f Rome to connect 1-59 with
-75.
Although U. S. 27 is shown
as fiart of the developmental
highway %roposal. Boulineau
said it 1s being paid for with
federal grimary route money,
rather than state funds. Traf
fic counts are already high
enough to exceed the capacity
of a two-lane highway, he
added.
The average cost of widen
ing an existing route like U. S.
27 is around $6-million per
mile, he continued.
Durindg his presentation,
Dr. Floyd — who is author of
the “two Georgias' concept
that has been repudiated é)y
Gov. Joe Frank Harris — gave
a number of statistics about
the economic status of Nor
thwest Georgia, including
Chattooga County.
INCOME LOW
Chattooga’s per capita in
come as a percentage of the
U. S. average was lower than
any county in the region except
Dade, according to Dr. Floycf‘) S
figures. Chattooga was listed
at 63 percent, compared to 61
percent for Dade.
Perhaps surprisingly, Chat
tooga's farm income was listed
as only .8 (Saercent of its total
earnings. Other area counties
listed included Walker 2.4 per
cent, Floyd .9 percent, and
Dade 4.7 percent.
Chattooga derives 58.1 per-

cent of its total income from
manufacturing, the professor
added, compared to 36.6 per
cent in Flyod, 45.3 percent in
Walker and 34.7 percent in
Dade.
From 1969 to 1979, Chat
tooga lost 160 jobs, he con
tinued. But from 1979 to 1984,
it lost 1,024 jobs, he said.
Annual growth in the
Georgia non-metropolitan
areas grew at an annual reate
of 2.5 percent from 1969 to
1979, he said, but it increased
only 1.3 percent a year from
1979 to 1984, Dr. F}l’oyd said.
Meanwhile, growth in the
metropolitan Atlanta area
jumped from an annual rate of
3.6 percent in the 1969-79
period to 4.1 percent from 1979
to 1984, he added.
TWO GEORGIAS
“I have spoken of the two
Georgias,” he said. ““That's
what we have..."” But Dr.
Floyd warned against sec
tionalism, *‘We've got to work
together as one; we can't work
against each other..."”
Boulineau said the DOT
has based the developmental
roads system proposed by
Gov. Harris and DOT Commis
sioner Tom Moreland based on
traffic count and related needs.
But since the DOT is not ex
pert in the field of economic
development, it had asked Dr.
Floyd to study priorities for
the state in that field.
Asked if his methodology
would tell the DOT where to
Eut the developmental
ighways based on where the
traffic need is now or where it
will promote development, Dr.
Floyd responded, “‘l'm not gon
na tell 'em.” He said it would
be presumtuous of him to tell
state officials, saying such
decisions will be up to political
leaders. But he said the DOT
has only enough money to be
able to take care of current
traffic needs and not enough to
handle all the areas needing
economic development.
“It's definite impediment to
growth if you (Fon‘t have
transportation,” Dr. Floyd
acknowledged, but added that
some areas, even with four-lane
highways, won't grow because
they don't have local leader
ship and ‘‘because they don’t
have anything anybody
wants.”
TAX HIKE?
Part of the hearing tended
toward less than subtle hints
for increasing the state's motor
vehicle fuel tax to finance the
developmental highway
system. Dr. Floyd, when press
ed, estimated it would take
around eight cents more per
gallon plus bond funds to ade
quately finance the highways
program.
Georgia's fuel tax is the
lowest in the Southeast, he
said. ‘“We're way behind."”
Boulineau said Georgia has the
most used interstate system in
the nation behind Texas and
California.
Much of the two-hour plus
hearing was involved with Dr.
Floyd's presentation and
debates among those attending
from several Northwest
Georgia counties over the
routing of various highway
projects.
Polk County Sen. Nathan
Dean said at the end of the pro
gram that not every county or
town will be able to have a
developmental or four-lane
highway and that officials and
residents should get together
and decide what's best for an
area and work to obtain a
specific project.

BLOSSOM END ROT —
TOMATOES
Blossom-end rot on
tomatoes has been widespread
this year, especially on plants
grown in low pH soil and where
soil moisture has not been
uniform.
Blossom-end rot can best be
described as a pl(\{vsiological
disorder associated with low
calcium content in the tomato
fruit. This rot first appears as
a water-soaked area on the
blossom-end of the tomato.
This spot usually enlarges and
becomes sunken, leathery and
brown. Tomato fruit seem to be
more susceptible when it is one
fourth to one-half mature.

CONTROL
1. There is no way to ‘‘cure’
this disorder once the in
dividual tomato fruit hecomes
infected. It is best to é)ick off
infected fruit from the plant.
2. Apply adequate irriga
tion water to prevent drastic
fluctuation in soil moisture.
3. Apply a good mulch
around the tomato plant to
conserve moisture and cool
soil.
4. Apply a calcium chloride
'syray on a 7-10 day schedule.
sually three to four applica
tions will be required to pre
vent a recurrence of this
disorder.
