The case of the
missing housewife
THERE’S a roast cooking to perfection in the
electric range. Ice cream is being made in
the refrigerator. Coffee is percolating. The
children’s play clothes are being washed clean
as new. But there’s no one in the kitchen!
One clue solves the case—electricity. It
works automatically —mother doesn’t have
to stay in her kitchen. Right now, she’s
attending a P.T.A. meeting. And when she
gets home, the dinner will be ready, the
laundry done! She has found the advantage
of full electric housepower.
If inadequate wiring limits the number of
electric servants you can enjoy, ask about
our wiring plan. Learn how we can pay SSO
to S2OO toward helping you wire your home
so you can live better electrically.

Guard Against
Hidden Hunger
With Soil Tests
Do you have areas on your
farm where the crops show no
hunger but where top yields are
seldom obtained?
If. so, you are in need of a
good soil testing program to iso
late and build up such areas, ac
cording to County Agent, M. K.
Jackson.
By following a regular program
of soil testing, you can avoid low
yields and low profits caused by
hidden hunger, he explained this
week.
“Before soil testing reached its
present development,” he said,
“many farmers waited for de
ficiency symptoms to tell them
they were running out of a plant
nutrient — an inefficient, dan
gerous method. When plants
reached this stage, profits had
been declining for some time.”
Most farmers who use soil tests
today are not interested in re
commendations for average pro
duction, the county agent con
tinued. The fact that they use
soil tests indicates they are
above-average farmers, interest
ed in producing top yields of high
quality crops to match the eco
nomic framework in which they
operate.
Such outstanding farmers soon
learn that: (1) It costs more to
produce 31 bushels of corn per
I acre than 60 bushels per acre, (2)
An average fertilizer application
I for corn usually does not provide
1 enough nutrients for 60 bushels
[of corn.
[ To get tep yields, he empha
[ sized, farmers should have their
i soil tested regularly and use suf
! ficient amounts of fertilizer to
; build up and maintain a high
[fertility level in their soils. Such
a method will help adjust ferti
ilizer use to fit the individual sit
; nation.

Cotton Stalk Destruction
How were your boll weevils
’ this year? We hope that your
weevil crop was a complete flop,
and to help you insure good in
; sect control in your cotton field
[next year you should be at. work
ips soon, as har^st is over this
i year.
By this I mean destroying those
[ cotton stalks just as soon as you
: finish picking. If you destroy
those stalks now you will stop
i weevil reproduction and cause
< the weevils to starve or start the
• coming winter in a very bad con
dition.
Another added advantage in
destroying those stalks in the
fall is that the destroyed stalks
will aid in soil conservation and
future preparation.
If this is to be really effective
every cotton farmer in a given
community must practice fall
cottcn stalk destruction.
There are several good ways
to destroy these stalks, but it is
better if they are cut into small
pieces.
If you want information on de
struction of cotton stalks contact
my office.
Beef Prices
I’m sure that, you have heard
or malbe said yourself, why does
steak sell for a dollar a pound
when cattle is selling for 25 cents
a pound?
Examining this closer’ you will
find that nature doesn’t make
many choice cuts or top grades
of beef. According to USDA less
than four percent of a steer is
sirloin steak; only a little more
than half is meat.
Also, the price in the grocery
store includes a lot of other things
besides the price of the animal.
These other things include
freight, labor, packaging, and
risk, just to mention a few.
Marketing costs of beef don’t
move up or down as fast as farm
! prices which explains why a tem
porary drop in cattle prices may
mean only a small drop in prices
at the meat counter.
Screwworms
The alert is still on for screw
worms in Georgia. Inspections
around the clock continue in or
der to locate any infestations.
The inspections will continue
until the first hard freeze occurs
in the state. Referring to inspec
tions let me again encourage you
to conduct inspections of all your
animals, and if you need any
additional information, please let
me know.
Georgia has lost thousands of
dollars in the past due to the
screwworm, so lets hot give it a
chance to get started on a big
scale again.
If you locate screwworm lar
vae, bring in 10 or more to my
office in small bottle of dena
tured alcohol cr clear water and
I will forward to the department,
in charge.
Strontium 90 Can Be
( Removed From Milk
You hear news every day con
cerning fallout and other terms
connected with nuclear weapons.
Here is news that strontium 90
can be removed from milk. By
. this development we are assured
1 of safe milk supplies in the event
of nuclear attack.
This pr cess is now being test
ed in the research center at Belts
ville, Maryland. The equipment
In this test is similar to a very
’ small milk plant, except, that
pipes, or columns, containing
’ chemical beads have been add
’ ed. To remove the strontium, cold
raw milk is treated with dilute
’ citric acid and passed through
3 the columns.
Later the milk is treated with
an alkali to neutralize the acid,
1 then pasteurized and homogen
ized.
1 One important aspect about
this treatment is that the treat
ment does not noticeably change
the flavor cf the milk.
This research needs more re
finement before it will be de
clared an economical means of
removing strontium 90 from
milk. This is the case, however,
in most new findings.

Thought For The Day: i
WHY I AM A CHRISTIAN !
Scriplure: Romans 1:16-17
t “For I am not ashamed of the
- gospel: it is the power of God
' for .salvation to everyone who!
has faith, to the Jew first and
- also to the Greek. For in it the
■ righteousness of God is revealed
f through faith for faith; as it is
i written, “He who through faith
. is righteous shall live.”
Christianity is man’s best hope
for existence and maturation.
Christianity is superior to the
world’s other living religions.
Christianity fulfills its promises
I more completely, more effective
ly, more satisfactorily than any
other faith, including the secular
■ faiths of capitalism, socialism,
fascism, and communism. And
this is all true because of Jesus
of Nazareth, no matter what men
may think of Him—as human
and/or divine.
I do not say this because I am
a Christian or a clergyman; rath
er I am what I am because of
the truth stated above. If I did
not know by personal experience
that faith in Christ brings real
salvation from sin and guilt; if
I did not believe that Christian-
