Census of Agriculture
Many of you have either read
or heard of the 5 year Census of
Agriculture which will be taken
in October and November of this
year.
I realize it is a part of human
nature for us to hesitate about
giving out information about our
affairs. We should be aware, how
ever, that data collected in this
census will be the basis for much
of our agricultural planning, na
tional, state and county wise,
during the next five years. For
this reason I encourage each of
you to cooperate fully with the
census taker.
The information you give can be
used only to get totals for the
county, state, etc. The Act of
Congress providing for the census
prohibits making census informa
tion for individual farms or
farmers available to any tax or
investigating agency.
You may begin now to help
make the census' more accurate
by preparing a list of farm prop-

More About Pecan Production
While attending the State 4-H
Club Council Meeting in Athens
last week, county agents were
given an opportunity to see as
well as hear some of the results
on the pecan fertilization demon
stration located on the Horticul
tural Farm of the University of
Georgia. The demonstration is in
its second year, the variety is |
Stuart.
Trees' in the orchard have been
fertilized using four different
rates of actual nitrogen per tree—
none, 4 lbs, 7 lbs. and 10 lbs. Two
things were very evident—termi
nal growth on the trees increased
as the amount of nitrogen in
creased and the number of nuts ।
per terminal as the length of the I

terminal groyvth increased.
Research workers have known
for a long time that there is a
direct relationship of yield to
; terminal growth. The longer the
' terminal growth—the higher the
: yields. Terminal growth should be
। a minimum of 4 inches and a
i maximum of 8 to 12 inches.
Check the terminal growth of
your trees —if it is less than 4
I inches, more fertilizer, especially
’nitrogen, should be applied next]
February. Large trees should re-j
’ceive at least 10 lbs. of actual ni-l
: trogen—small trees need less.
Your pecan production should
i and will go up if you fertilize
| adequately as well as carry out
i other cultural practices.
Tulips In South Georgia

ment, South Georgians may now
grow tulips. Previously, lack of
enough cold weather in this part
of Georgia has prevented tulip
bulbs from developing as they
should.
Recent research at the Coastal
Plains Experiment Station, Tif
ton, now shows that excellent
tulips can be grown in South
Georgia by giving the bulbs a
cold storage treatment before they
are planted. Pre-cooling in the
home refrigerator will give satis
factory results.
In the research tests pre-cooled
bulbs generally bloomed two to
three weeks earlier than us'ual.
The stems were longer and the
number of bulbs producing flow
ers was greater.
The best time to plant pre
cooled bulbs is from early Decem
ber to early January. That means
the cold storage treatment should
begin between October 1 and No
vember 15. Later storage has
proven unsatisfactory. The bulbs
should be stored at about 4Q de
grees F. After six to eight weeks
of cold storage, take the bulbs out
and plant immediately. In South
Georgia plant the bulbs shallow.
Tulips planted about four inches
deep will have longer stems than;
if planted deeper.
The Wedding of Miss
Ruth Elaine Segall
The wedding of Miss Ruthj
Elaine Segal to Mr. Donald Ivan ;
Singer of Hollywood, Fla. was;
solemnized at the Walton Way?
Temple, Augusta, Sunday the 23rd;
of August. Miss Segal is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max L. i
Segal, for many years residents’
of Glenwood, now of Metter.
The many guests were stirred
as the wedding music began to’
usher in the attendants and espec-i
ially the maid of honor and
bridesmaids, who wore green and
topped with green net hats, carry-'
ing bouquets of flowers. The cli-j
max was reached as the bride
entered dressed in that very beau-:
tiful white traditional wedding
dress, with veil and carrying flow
ers, leaning on the arm of heri
devoted father. Seated close by ’
was her mother filled with emo- 1
tion as the father surrendered his:
daughter to the Divine right of
human love to Mr. Singer who
assisted her up the steps for the ।
ceremony, where her only brother
a part of the wedding party stood, ■

To sit in a Jewish Temple, is i 1
to sit with a people that God made I 1
his covenants with in the long 1
ago; to mingle with a people that ’ 1
hold those covenants sacred and 1
the preparation for this wedding’
was marked by one of the most,'
sacred, THE HOME. There before'
the symbolic door of the taber- I
nacle, that God commanded they!
erect when they found a place to j 1
live and over the door was the;'
always burning light and the
10 Commondments, reminding
them of the Wilderness Journey,
was erected a frame with four
posts, covered with white and dec
orated with chrysanthemums and I
dahlias. This represented the
home. Rabbi Norman Goldburg
met them in this home beginning
the ceremony in a very sacred
way, using a very ancient ques- ■
tion, is it of your own free will
and accord, that you are to take
these vows of marriage? Then
the story of love reaching the
climax in marriage, then the story
of a good and faithful home, the
need for the church to have a
place and just before the final
vows, a silver goblet of water
was handed the Rabbi, this rep
resented the quenching of the
thirst for each other, this sealed '
the vows as each drank from the:
goblet, thus they were to live to-j
gether and drink from the foun- i
tain of love so long as they both
should live. The veil was lifted by i
the maid of honor and forever'
lifted to her lover. After the an-'
nouncement by the Rabbi, that

Songwriter Ben Light, who
will soon put the finishing I
touches to an album aptly titl- j
ed “The Light Touch” has pen- :
ned a number of songs worthy
of mention. His finest effort,
“Melancholy Baby,” stacks up
today as a standard which '
down through the years has
been one of the biggest sellers |
of all times. However, outside j
of the prestige which has ac- i
crued to Light, the financial
returns have been practically :
nil as far as the composer is
concerned.
Light and Jack Norton com- :
posed the song in 1916 in a
Denver, Colo., saloon. “Melan
choly Baby,” along with four [
other tunes, was peddled to a
small publisher for eating :
money—sloo to be exact. The
so n g’s subsequent earnings I
have been enough to make j
even Ben Light melancholy.

THERE ARE SOUND argu
ments which can be made both
for and against the forthcoming
visit to this country by Russian
Premier Khrushchev.
Since the
Soviet leader
has demon
strated that he
is not well in
formed about
the United
States and the
freedom, pros
perity, deter-
mination and strength of the
American people, it should be to
our definite advantage for him
to have a full opportunity to ob
serve every facet of American life
with his own eyes. On the other
hand, the fact that the Chief Ex
ecutive of our country is having
the Communist dictator as his
official guest likely will have the
decided disadvantage of discour
aging the uncommitted nations
whose support we have courted
and of demoralizing the enslaved
satellite nations whose resistance
to Soviet domination we have
encouraged. Only time can tell
which factor will outweigh the
other.
• • •
THE GREATEST immediate
danger attendant to the visit lies
in assuring Mr. Khrushchev’s per
sonal safety while he is in this
country. There are hundreds of
thousands of persons in the
United States, particularly refu
gees who have been driven from
their homelands by Soviet aggres
sion, who would gladly give their
lives to kill him. The situa
tion is one which poses a security
problem without parallel because
should the Russian Premiei be as
saulted, shot or assassinated while
here there would be grave inter
national complications indeed.
Another problem is posed by the
fact that it is a customary cour
tesy to invite visiting foreign offi
cials to address joint sessions of
(not prepared, or printed at government expense?

Colored News
Viola Powell Smith, 37, colored,
died in Mcßae on August 25 from
complications following an opera
tion.
Viola lived most of her life on
the Hill farm. She was very active
in church work, and at the time
of her death was treasurer of her
church. She was loved and re
spected by both white and colored
for the sterling character she
possessed.
She is survived by her husband,
Parvin “Jug” Smith, county bull
dozer operator; her mother. Mat
Powell; four sisters, Corenlia,
Lettie Clyde, Mattie Mae and
i Ruthie Mae, and six brothers,
: Walter, Wesley, Jimmy Lee, Tan
| ner, Mann and Mose.
Please do not ask for credit
We don’t have enough money,
Congress. Happily, it has been
pretty generally agreed that that
dilemma will be resolved by the
adjournment of Congress in ad
vance of the September 15 arrival
date. If that turns out to be the
case, we of the South will, at
least, reap an indirect advantage
from the visit inasmuch as it will
put time on the side of Southern
Senators and Congressmen in op
posing the enactment of punitive
force legislation in the field of
civil rights.
• • •
WHILE IT GOES without say
ing that it is impossible to arrive
at any meaningful agreement
with conscienceless leaders of a
godless nation which boasts of
violating agreements whenever it
is expedient for it to do so, in
this era of cold war which could
turn hot at any time there is
nothing to be lost by talking. The
alternatives are either to capitu
late or to fight—the former being
unthinkable and the latter too
horrible to contemplate short of
an absolute matter of survival.
One would have to be naive in
the extreme to expect the visit to
have any effect upon the undevi
ating Russian objective of total
conquest of the world to Commu
nism and only a complete idiot
would view it as a reason to relax
our guard. The most for which
we can hope is that the first
hand impressions gained by Mr.
Khrushchev of the will and ca
pacity of the American people
to resist all efforts to conquer
or subvert them will give him and
his cohorts in the Kremlin cause
to stop and think before embark
ing upon any provocative adven
ture which could plunge the world
into a catastrophic conflict which •
could destroy both nations and
civilization with them.
