FARM CHATS
By M. K. JACKSON
County Agent
Rural Electricity
Electricity is a wonderful
source of light, heat, and power,
but it can also be a terrible dan
ger. Annually, there are about 100
deaths and 5,000 injuries in the
United States resulting from ac
cidents with electricity
It’s just common sense that we
should use electricity safely. But
many farm fires and injuries to
persons are still being caused
from misusing eletrical equipment
or by using equipment that is
defective. On many farms the old
wiring systems are just not ade
quate for the increased use of
electricity.
If you are wondering how safe
ly you are using electricity, here
are a few suggested safety prac
tices to check yourself on.
Do you:
1. Have a main entrance switch
to the electrical system that will
accomodate the anticipated elec
trical load.
2. Have wiring that meets na
tional and local electrical code re
quirements.
3. Have three-prong plug and
three-wire grounded connections
for portable equipment used out
side in the shop, or basement to
guard against electric shock.
4. Check appliances and connec
tion cords that you’re planning to
buy to see that they’re U. L.
(Underwriter’s Laboratory) ap
proved.
5. Use a basket guarded, rubber
handled, trouble-extension light.
6. Have a separate electrical cir
cuit and fuse to the water supply
pump.
7. Han d1 e all farm well
equipment at low elevation to
prevent shock from electric high
lines in yard or at the drive in
highway.
8. Cut off current before work
ing with electric conductions and
unplug electrical appliances be-1
fore inspecting or repairing them.;
9. Use only commercially made, i
U. L. Approved electric fence con- j
trailers.
10. Keep light bulbs of only 60'
watts or under in granary or hay- j
mow and in glass or heat resist-;
ant plastic shields to protect from 1
dust. '
11. Know how to treat victims
of electric shock in cases of emer-;
gency.
12. Keep fire extinguisher ap-|
proved for electrical fires.
13. Teach members of family,
how to use electricity safely.
Non-Pressure Liquid Nitrogen )
Many county farmers are find
ing that non-pressure liquid
nitrogen—usually a solution of
water and ammonium nitrate or
urea and ammonium nitrate —has
a lot of advantages over solid
forms of nitrogen. It can be ap
plied faster than solid materials.
No heavy bags have to be handled.
It is frequently cheaper than solid
forms when compared on a cost
per pound of nitrogen basis. And
when properly applied, liquid ni
trogen is just as effective as solid
sources in promoting plant
growth.
The non-pressure liquid ferti-

। lizer does not lose nitrogen by
। evaporation, and it may be appli
। ed in a number of ways. It can be
I applied in or on top of the soil, by
I adding it to the irrigation water,
i or by overhead irrigation.
There are, however, a few dis
; advantages that farmers should
I consider when thinking of using
' this form of fertilizer. For one,
I it requires special application and
I storage equipment that will usual
j ly require high initial costs.
Also, at low temperatures the
nitrogen materials tend to crystal
lize and settle. The sludge that
1 forms sometimes clogs hose lines
when the fertilizer is applied.
Timber Sales
You don’t make money growing
trees. You make money selling
trees.
No doubt you have heard this
statement before, and it is good
to remember it when deciding to
sell your timber. A little planning
beforehand will not only result
in greater income but will give
you the satisfaction of having
made a good trade.
To trade well and sell wisely,
you should do several things.
First you must make plans for
the next tree crop on the area to
be cut over either by planting
nursery-grown seedlings or by
leaving adequate seed trees. This
is not necessary, however, where
you are only thinning or making
a partial cut.
Next you should determine by
actual measurement the volume
of timber that you have for sel
ling. You may do this yourself
or have it done by a professional
forester.
Then you must estimate value
for your timber. This may be a
bove or below the actual selling
price, but it will guide you in
bargaining with prospective buy
ers.
Finally you will want to out
line your wishes regarding the
sale in a written contract to which
both you and the buyer agree.
These four simple points may
। mean money in the bank on your;
■ next timber sale. Ask for Ex-1
j tension Circular 442, “Tips on I
i Timber Sales,” at your County!
j Agent’s office.

WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE. ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
LEUKEMIA
“Leukemia is one of the most
tragic of all cancers because it
kills 2,000 of our youngsters every
year. But it is also one of the
more hopeful areas of the in
tensive search for a drug, or
drugs, that will cure cancer.”
The Society is currently spend
ing over $1,500,000 per year on
research exploring all phases of
the disease. But this is. not
enough. Scientists in the forefront
of cancer research believe that
important knowledge may come
through more research in leu
kemia, and we want to give the
fullest possible scope to their
great and dedicated talents.
“That’s one of the reasons why
we’re asking for unlimited funds
in our current drive—unlimited
funds to save unlimited lives from
cancer in generations to come.”
Doctors support the theory that
the first of the incurable cancers
to be brought under control may
well be leukemia. Just a dozen
years ago, the leukemic child had
only a few weeks or a few months
to live. Then in 1947 the first
drug was used on a child in Bos
ton, that drug and a number of
others are now in use prolonging
the lives of many leukemic pa
tients for a year or two or three,
and on rare occasions even longer.
Every child or adult who returns
to normal living, even for a little
while, is making a vital contri
bution to saving life from leu
kemia ever after. For that is how
science works.
We mus’t not forget that leu
kemia takes many adult victims
too. We are apt to think of the
disease as a cancer of childhood,
but the adult rate is steadily ris
ing. As with lung cancer, men are
more susceptible to this form of
cancer than are women.
Why does leukemia strike more
males than females, not only
among adults but among chil
dren? Why is the disease a grow
ing menace to adults while the
death rate among children has re
mained unchanged in the past few
years? These are just some of the
questions our men of science are
trying to answer. But as they be
gin to answer some of the ques
tions, they begin to shed light in
the dark of leukemia. They have
not yet learned why the body’s
blood-forming tissues should sud
denly manufacture too many
white blood cells. But they- have
learned how to destroy those ma
lignant white cells with drugs, to
restore the balance of the blood,
for a little while.
“One day, sooner or lat“r, scien
tific research may produce the
drugs that will kill every run
away leukemic cell in the body
of the patient, so that none will
be left to resist the drugs' and
grow again. Or science may un
earth the first cause of the disease
and find means of immunizing all
of us.
We need public support to ex
plore every possible avenue of re
search. I urge all of our good citi
zens here in Wheeler County and
Alamo to give generously to the
American Cancer Society’s offen
sive against all forms of cancer—
including leukemia.

The organ, referred to in
some quarters as the “Queen of
Instruments,” is the largest
wind instrument in the world.
It is believed that organ play
ing originated in Italy in the
16th century, although early
Roman history relates to an
organ of sorts called a “hy
draulus.”
From the classic instrument
of the 17th and 18th centuries
on which Bach, among others,
helped write music history, the
organ has seen numerous phy
sical changes which have car
ried through the movie house
instrument of some three dec
ades ago, the tremendous high
pressure instruments of the
late 19th century and the elec
tronic organ of today.
Speaking of the organ of
today, have you heard the mag

Soil Stewardship
By M. K. JACKSON
County Agent
This is Soil Stewardship Week
in Georgia, and appropriate time
to pause and give thanks to our
Creator for all our blessings
which spring directly from the
soil. Such blessings are beyond
counting. They include not only
the food we eat, the clothing we
wear, the materials for our homes,
but all the- beauty of field and
forest, garden and grounds.
Since time immemorial man
has felt a strong tug at his heart
toward the land and has longed
to possess it and use it. This
yearning for land and its abun
dance on this continent played a
vital role in the exploration and
development of all lands which
comprise this nation—North and
South as well as West.
As man has cleared land, brok
en it and tilled it, generally, he
and the land have prospered to
gether. Often, however, man has
been guilty of exploiting the land.
Wherever this happened, sooner
or later, society has suffered.
In recent years, men of America
have become more and more a
ware of their responsibilities as
stewards of the land. This has
brought forth practical programs
applying the knowledge and tech
niques of science to soil conserva
tion. More recently the equal need
for water conservation has been
recognized, too.
Soil and water conservation is
the business of the Soil Conser
vation Service working in cooper
ation with other agricultural
agencies. Together these organiza
tions are doing a good job. They
have no monopoly bn this im
portant business, however. Soil
and water conservation is every
body’s job. Every citizen, be he
landowner or not, should recog
nize his vital stake in the con
servation of this nation’s soil and
water resources.
You may feel that you can do
nothing, or little or nothing your
self about saving snil and water.
You can at least recognize the
need for conservation of these
vital necessities of life and give
moral support to those who prac
tice good stewardship of these
gifts from God.
Many Sermons Stress
Soil Stewardship
Christian ministers in Georgia
play an important role in making
Georgia citizens aware of their
responsibilities as stewards of the
soil, E. H. Thomas, soil conserva
tion specialist for the Agricultural
Extension Service, University of
Georgia College of Agriculture,
said today.
By preaching sermons on man’s
share in God’s creation as tillers
and conservers of the soil, minis
ters aid greatly the technical
work done by the agricultural en
gineers and agronomists. From
such sermons men learn the im
portance of the soil to life and
recognize their roles in God’s plan
as stewards of God-Given re
sources such as soil and water.
Again this year, hundreds of
Georgia ministers will be preach
ing such sermons during observ
ance of Soil Stewardship Week,
May 3-10, Thomas said.
“This, of course, is not an un
usual or unnatural thing for min
isters to do,” he continued. “Ser
mons traditionally are based on
scripture and the Bible is filled
with passages on man’s relation
ship to soil, water and the growth
of plants. Jesus, himself lived
close to the soil and he often
spoke of the soil, seed, water,
planting and harvest as essential
elements of life.”
Thomas added that as ministers
begin to prepare their soil stew
ardship sermons they will find
many scriptural passages suitable
for texts. These range from the
story of The Garden of Eden
(Gen. 2:8-15) to the parables of
Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John.
The Rev. M. M. Whittemore of
Forsythe is Chaplain of the Geor
gia Association of Soil Conserva
tion District Supervisors. In a
letter to his fellow ministers, cal
ling their attention to Soil Stew
ardship Week, May 3-10, the Rev.
Mr. Whittemore says:
“Healthy souls are dependent |
upon a healthy concern for all of:
God’s creation. All that belongs ;
to my father is my concern, and I ■
must defend it with the best that i
I have . . . , therefore, it mustl
be everybody’s business and re- j
sponsibility to care for the soil.”

Governor Will Be
500th Tree Farmer
ATLANTA — Gov. S. Ernest
Vandiver will be certified as the
500th Tree Farmer in the State of
Georgia during ceremonies at the
Awards and Recognition Banquet
of the Georgia Forestry Associa
tion on the evening of May 6 in
the Dinkier Plaza Hotel here.
William M. Oettmeier, president
of the Georgia Forestry Associa
tion, announced that the public is
invited to attend the presentation
of the Governor’s Tree Farm cer
tificate.
Governor Vandiver, Ottmeier
said has placed 1,828 acres of his
family-owned tracts of timber
land in the Tree Farm program.
These holdings are in Franklin,
Hart and Rabun Counties, and
have been in the Vandiver family
from two to 40 years.
Back in the 1930’s the Gover
nor’s father planted 71 acres of
pines and from this' modest begin
ning, started raising trees as a
crop. Eventually the entire hold
ing will be in trees, according to
inspecting foresters who inter
viewed Vandiver in January.
Tree Farm No. 500 consists of
736 acres of loblolly shortleaf
pines’, 828 acres of mixed pines
and hardwoods, and 114 acres of
pure hardwoods. In the past six
years Vandiver’s management
practices have included thinning
of 228 acres and control over five
acres of undesirable species.
Harvest cutting from the tracts
have produced five million board
feet in barrel staves as well as
pulpwood. Vandiver has planted
583 acres of pines in the past 15 j
years and plans to plant seedlings ;
on 150 more acres in the next five ■
years. I
