SALUTE TO ’ i

MOUNTAIN FARM PRODUCTS r
To the Southerner who enjoys good eating, nothing tantalizes his
taste more than relishes to season foods or syrup poured on homemade ■
biscuits. And chances are that if he has relish or syrup in his kitchen
cabinet right now, it is made by Mountain Farm Products of Atlanta.
This company will celebrate its eighth birthday in June, but despite ~
youth, its success has been phenomenal. During each of the eight years
of existence sales have shown a “handsome increase, to put it in the
words of owner Al Martin. Mountain Farm products are sold in 19
states and handled by nearly every major chain store and food wholesaler. |
Martin traveled in six states before forming his own business. Rather , (
than give up traveling, he had to add an extra 13 states to his itinerary. ,
He still covers the 19 states for the company while son-in-law D. M.
Wright is the “inside man,” managing production.
Martin’s first product was a sorghum-flavored syrup. With S4OO he ।'
went into production of green tomato relish. Business snowballed almost •.
overnight. The inventory was expanded to include hot and mild chow' j i
chow, hot and sweet pepper relish. Corn relish is the newest addition. ;
Os course, the syrup and green pepper relish are still big favorites. All •
products are prepared in small batches and retain that good old-sash- ■
ioned flavor w r e remember from youth.
The business is located on DeKalb Avenue, NE, in Atlanta. Origin
ally its quarters measured approximately 150 square feet. Then, for a J
year and a half, Martin used the building next door. When this became ; <
too small, an adjacent building was purchased. Walls and rooms were I
added to increase floor space to about 4,000 square feet. As a matter of
fact, remodeling of two rooms is going on at present. This will afford
new office space and leave more storage area.
Mountain Farm Products employs 14 Georgians in the actual food (
processing. Mr. Martin, Mr. Wright and a secretary make up the office
staff. We salute this industry as typifying a Georgia
business. -by SARAH CONNER

SCREWWORM THREAT OVER !
No screwworms have been ।
! found in Alabama, Georgia or j
I Florida for more than a month, j
! This means that the Southeastern j
jUnited States is once again free!
;of this costly livestock pest.
Stopping this threat were in- '
Lsecticide applications, sterile-fly I
' releases, cold weather, and ex-1
। cellent cooperation of southeast- ■
! ern livestock owners, veterinar
|ians, and pest control officials.
Restrictions on the movement!
lof animals into Florida from !
Georgia and Alabama have been)
! removed since this threat seems ■
■ to be over.

Releasing Cotton Acreage
i Ail farmers and those inter
' ested in farming need to look'
unto the item of. releasing your j
. unplanted cotton acreage.
If you cannot plant your en
tire cotton allotment you may re
lease your unplanted acreage for
, j someone else in tlje county or
। state to plant. This in no way
Swill effect your next year’s al
; lotment.
J On the other hand if you want
(more cotton acreage than you
! have allotted to you, you may
! check with the local ASCS office
i about getting additional cotton
i acreage.
Georgia lost last year nearly
; 19 million dollars of gross in- i
j come by not planting their en- ’
. ’ tire cotton allotment. If you are j
‘at all interested in Georgia's:
J economy, you are alarmed by;
I this fact.
For more information on dates i
i and rules of cotton allotment re-'
] lease why not contact your local
I ASCS office.
।
i How Accurate Is A Soil Test?
We hope that you have already
| received your recommendations j
i from your soil test for this year’s j
:crop. If you haven’t taken your ;
I test it is wise to get them in just!
S as soon as possible so the infor-'
: mation and recommendations will
i be back in time to do you some !
I good this year.
You may ask just how accurate
! is a soil test. If the soil sample
• sent in is truly representative of
! the farm field, the lime and fer
! tilizer recommendation will cor- j
I rect any soil deficiencies of the ;
nutrients tested.
Soil testing is a valuable tool |
if it is used properly and the re-1
suits followed. For information;
on soil testing, I will be glad to
help you.
Vgetable Transplants
Did you know that many im-,
portant vegetable crops in Geor- i
gia are produced from trans
plants?
Such crops as tomatoes, pepper,
cabbage, collards, celery, brocco
li, onions, and eggplant are us
ually transplanted. You may also,
successfully transplant waterme-1
lon, cantaloupe, and squash if the I
plants are grown in peat pots or|
plant bands.
One large advantage in using j
j transplants for your garden is I
I that you will have a dependable j
supply of plants when you need ■
them. They will be there in your j
own “back yard” so that you will
not have to travel for them. As
you know delay in transplanting 1
often results in delay in har-!
vesting.
Another advantage in growing
your own transplants is that you '
know the plant. You know what'
you planted in the first place,
and so you will know what you
i will transplant.
I
i Food Processing After Attack
I Certainly we hope that this
) country will never be nuclear
! attacked, but the nation’s food
i processing facilities are planning
! now what to do if that day comes.
! With almost any attack pat
! tern, a great many food process
! ing facilities would survive. How
। ever, some are more vulnerable
! than others. For example, most ।
। cane sugar refiners are in port I
j cities, although sugar plants are
. well dispersed.
As soon as transportation could
jbe resumed after an attack, the
। nation could expect to have ade
} quate food, although diet changes
I might be necessary.
These problems as well as oth
! ers are now being worked at so
I that if that day comes, and we
; hope it never will, this country
j will be affected as little as pos
i sible.

! defense contact the local Civil
iDefense office or my office.
"Kingdom Builders'
Club" Enlisting
New Members
The South Georgia Methodist
। Conference will attempt to enlist
i 2,900 additional members in its
■ Kingdom Builders’ Club begin
| ning this month.
A resolution was approved last
I June at the South Georgia An
!nual Conference which created a
| “Kingdom Builders’ Club” in the
(conference. This group is respon
■ sible for soliciting funds for
। church extension in South Geor
| gia. Previously several similar
! organizations existed on a district
j basis, but these curtailed opera
jtion when the June resolution
| was adopted.
i Sixty-eight of the conference’s <
I more than 400 ministers have I
ijoined the club while more than!
11,000 laymen have joined. Rev. F. j
J. Bverly, director of the South |
! Georgia Conference Office of j
' Church Extension - Evangelism,!
' voiced concern recently over the j
i small number of ministers who
have joined the group. He said,
: however, that he believes that a
! large number of ministers will
■ be joining this Spring “since they
: have learned more about the
Kingdom Builders’ organization.”
Kingdom Builders’ are asked to
!give $lO each time a new church
■ is begun in the conference. It is
I the policy of the church exten
; sion office to make no more than
’ two “calls” annually to the group
■ though several new congregations
■ may be formed during one year.
; Additional funds for Methodist
i church extension come from two
j additional conference budgets.
EATING AND EXERCISE !
Two keys to sustaining good |
health are disciplined eating and
regular, vigorous exercises
! throughout life. Medical author-
I ities advise adults to keep physi-
I cally fit by spending an hour each
! day in some physical activity,
followed by a few minutes of
j calisthenics, advises Miss Lucile
i Higginbotham, head of the Ex
! tension health department, Uni
i versity of Georgia College of Ag
riculture.
! Quality Christmas trees can be
I grown in Georgia if good cul
. tural practices are followed, says
। Extension Forester B. R. Murray.

TOUR OF THE WEEK
^^***^^_
Georgia Department of Commerce
17 MILES OF PLEASURE
It's always disappointing for a tourist to learn of something Jie
should have seen while on vacation, but just didn’t know about. In
Savannah, the Chamber of Commerce has practically eliminated thia
j travel hazard. Now, there is a well planned and well marked 17
Mile Tour through this quaint Georgia city, designed to take the
visitor to all points of interest and guaranteeing that he misses nothing.
The famous Old Harbor Light pictured below, itself a part of the
17 Mile Tour, has been placed on signs pointing the way and is used as
the tour's symbol. It is easy to pick up the tour at any point. However,
the folks who know, those at the Chamber of Commerce, recommend
you begin at the Chamber’s office on Bay Street. They will be glad to
advise you and furnish helpful brochures. Besides, this building is part :
of the tour. Built in 1886, it once housed the Savannah Cotton and
Naval Stores Exchange.
Before leaving Bay Street, be sure to see the City Hall, the Thomas
Gamble Building and the U. S. Custom House, Georgia’s oldest fed
t erally owned building. A fifteen block drive along Bull Street has
I probably the greatest concentration of places to see. This avenue was
I named for General Oglethorpe’s aide, Colonel William Bull. The lovely
parks and squares on Bull Street, which today lend charm and preserve
much of the original plan of Savannah, were intended as stockades to
protect settlers.
From Forsyth Park the tour swings eastward on Victory Drive, up
River Road (northward), left to Bonaventure Road, Henry Street and
back toward Savannah. All along the way, the familiar signs guide you
and getting lost or “turned around” is impossible.
At the northern end of East Broad Street is Emmet Park and the. ,
Harbor Light. A sharp right swing down a cobblestone ramp takea-.:
you to Factors Walk. Here are the commercial buildings and ware
houses once used by the “factors”, or cotton merchants who dominated
Savannah’s economic life when cotton was king. Further down, another
ramp, cobblestone of course, takes you back to Bay Street and your
point of origin.
No tour of Savannah would be complete without seeing the Telfair
Academy, Savannah Beach, Tybee Lighthouse or Fort Pulaski. But if
your time is limited and you’re the “do-it-yourself” type of tourist, the
17 Mile Tour is for you.
