Ga. Traffic Deaths
Continue To Climb,
1952 Figures Show
Traffic accidents and re
sultant deaths on the high
ways continue to form the
basis for a grim story in
Georgia. For example, the
Georgia Department of Pub
lic Safety reports that in
1952 traffic deaths through
out the state totaled 970, an
increase of fourteen over last
year’s 956.
More than 11,500 persons
were injured in these acci
dents. Totaled economic loss
as a result of these highway
mishaps was estimated at
more than $63-million.
It’s a tragic picture, no
matter how you analyze it.
However, in a breakdown
study of the statistics, there’s
a slight ray of encourage
ment. Perhaps it means that
the intensified state - wide
“Operation Safety” campaign
carried on by the Georgia
Citizens Council has reached
more people in the rural sec
tions.
Anyway, the statistics show
that twenty-six fewer per
sons lost their lives in traffic
accidents occurring in Geor
gia’s rural areas last year as
compared with 1951. But in
theurban centers, the record
was worse. There was an in
crease of 40 fatalities' in the
state’s urban areas.

Read, Understand
Policy Clauses,
Cravey Advises
One of the most important
decisions prospective insur
ance policy purchasers in
Georgia could make during
the coming year would be a
determination to read and
understand their contracts,
Insurance Commissioner Zack
Cravey said today.
“We certainly know the
terms under which we de
posit our money in the bank,
Mr. Cravey declared, “Analo
gously, it is just as import
ant to know the terms of our
insurance policies.
“Trouble occurs frequently
because policyholders haven’t
read their policies and don’t
know what their insurance
covers. People buying “20
payment” life insurance con
tracts will probably continue
to think — regardless of all
explanations by the agent to
the contrary—that they have
purchased a 20 year endow
ment plan; or when Aunt
Sally learns she is going to
need a surgical operation and
then goes out and buys an
insurance policy to take care
of the expense, and after
ward learn the company will
not pay because the policy
doesn’t cover pre - existing
health conditions, she’s still
not going to be happy about
it even though she should
have known what to expect
if she had read the policy. Os
course this could not have
happened if all questions on
the application were read
correctly.
“The law and the Insur
ance Commissioner can’t
make people either read or
understand their policies —
either before or after the
purchase. But we do go a
long way to make sure that
the terms of the policy are
fairly stated and that there
is no intended or unintended
deception either as to what

Farm Agent Urges
Good Production
Os Tobaco Beds
Wheeler County farmers
were warned this week by
County Agent M. K. Jackson
to be on the lookout for two
tobacco plant pests, blue
mold and the vegetable wee
vil.
Mr. Jackson said that the
vegetable weevil is reported
to be damaging tobacco in
plant beds in some sections
already and that blue mold
can be expected to appeaT
this week if it follows the
schedule of previous years.
He urged farmers to take the
necessary control measures
now.
“Begin spraying immedi
ately for blue mold as soon
as you hear of blue mold ap
pearing anywhere in the
county if your plants are up
and have reached the four
leaf stage”, he advised. “Two
applications of Fermate spray
or dust before blue mold
strikes the tobacco bed will
give it much bettei’ protec
tion against attack than no
treatment at all”, he contin
ued.
Mr. Jackson suggested in
creasing the strength or the
amount of spray if and when
blue mold appears. He point
ed out that it usually appears
first in one corner of the bed
and recommended treating
these spots with double
strength spray as soon as the
disease is recognized.
Mr. Jackson explained that
the adult vegetable weevil is
a grayish-brown snout beetle
about three-eights of an inch
long with a white or gray
“V” on its back. “Sometimes
this marking is very indis
tinct, however,” he added.
The larvae are light green
grubs with yellow to brown
heads.
Parathon is the most ef
fective insecticide known for
the control of the vegetable
weevil, he declared. A one
percent dust or one-half
pound of 15 percent para
thion wettable powder per 25
gallons of water as a spray
should be used. The one per
cent dust should be applied
at about one pound per 100
square yards of bed. If the
spray is used, apply about
three gallons of the mixture
per 100 square yards. These
dusts and sprays will also
control aphids (lice).
Remember, parathion is ve
ry dangerous if inhaled, swal
lowed or allowed to contact
is covered or not covered.
“My advice to all prospec
tive policyholders is to read
and understand their poli
cies. If they can’t under
stand them themselves then
they should seek the advice
of some friend who does and
in whom they have complete
confidence.”
NUMBER 41
Club Members
To Get Chicks
Ten Wheeler County 4-H
Club members have been
chosen to participate in the
1953 Georgia 4-H Club poul
try chain. This announce
ment was made here this
week by M. K. Jackson, Coun
ty Agent and Esther Godbee,
Home Demonstration Agent.
The ones taking part in
this project are: Eugene Ho
ward, Helena Route 1, G. H.

Thecounty agent said the
4-H’ers, and anyone else from
this county interested in poul
try, will attend a two hour
poultry short course on Feb
ruary 9th. at 2:30 p. m. in
Alamo Methodist Church.
H. W. Bennett, poultryman
of the University of Georgia
Agricultural Extension Ser
vice will conduct the schools,
discussing management, feed
ing and disease control in an
effort to get the youngsters
off on the right foot in their
poultry projects.
“The poultry chain, spon
sored by the Sears Roebuck
Foundation, has been one of
the most popular projects
since it began eight years
ago. This is the 7th, year
that boys and girls rom
Wheeler County have carried
this activity.
Some 1,500 boys and girls
throughout the state will be
active in the. program this
year. The county agent said
that Bennett reported to him
that the program has improv
ed the quality of home poul
try flocks and has contribut
ed to progress in egg product
ion throughout the state. Re
cords show that egg product
ion has increased 14 eggs per
hen since the project was in
itated, and the number of
commerical flocks has more
than tripled.
The local club members
doing the best job with their
birds this year will be chosen
at a county poultry show this
fall. The two best flocks from
this county will compete for
district and state honors in
Macon.
