With spring here, are you plan

it yourself?
If you are, you have some hap

holstery fabrics are getting more
practical all the time. There are
new protective finishes that keep
the light colors fresh and also
keep the colored fabrics bright.
There are also constantly im
proved dyes, and the better man

that they will give the service
promised.
Quality upholstery fabrics cost
the manufacturer more to pro

a bit more to get them. However,
the extra service the fabric will
give will make it less expensive

You may also fold the fabric on
the bias and pull gently to see
if there is very much “give”, or
pull it both crosswise and length
wise to check its firmness.
How .good are the protective
( finishes? First, be sure you un
derstand that these finishes do
not prevent the ftbric from be
coming soiled, but they do make
spot cleaning easier. There are
: two varieties. First, those that
protect the fabric from water
-1 borne stains such as coffee, tea,
1 etc. and allow them to be blotted
up with a tissue. The other fin
ish protects the fabric from both
soil and water stain. The latter
type finish does not allow the
liquid to get down between the
fibers. If it does, it can be floated
up again with water. The key to
getting the most good from the
protective finish is to wipe or
blot the stain immediately. If the
I stain is allowed to remain for sev
‘ eral hours, it is more difficult to
remove and the results will be
less happy for you.
Remember that it is important
to remove dust and dirt from up
holstery fabrics by vacuuming
’ often. All spots should be treated
immediately whether the fabric
has a protective finish or not.

Home Processed Foods
Each day you need certain foods
in your diet. Foods from the four
food groups—milk, meat, vegeta
ble-fruit and bread-cereal should
be included in the daily diet. Will
you produce any of these foods
at home, preserve any of these
foods, or plan to buy the entire
! food supply? This decision de
( pends on many factors. Studies
show your family will probably
be better fed if you produce part
of the food supply. Along with
production, consider the possibil
ity of preserving foods.
Perhaps your first decision will
be to determine the amount of
food needed for the family. Then,
determine which of these foods
can .be produced at home. A
planned food preservation pro
gram can help you feed your
family an adequate diet.
Processed foods offer the home
maker many advantages in help
ing feed the family. They are
convenient, economical, save time
and work, nutritions, clean and
wholesome. Also, they are ready
anytime. They offer a wide choice
of variety of food and are avail
able all seasons.
If you are unable to produce
the foods at home to process, you
might consider buying the fresh
produce to process. We have a
large variety of Georgia pro
duced foods. When these foods
are in season, they are usually
available at a very reasonable
price. Consider, for example,
green beans. These could possi
bly be bought for $2.00 per bush
el. From a bushel, you could can
15-20 quarts or freeze 25-27 one
pound packages. If you bought
these already processed, they
would cost you from $7.00 to
$9.00. If you will check other
foods, I think you will discover
there .is a real savings.
Remember, to process only
quality foods, use the correct
utensils, and follow the latest re
search methods.
Certainly it is a great conven
ience to have a food freezer and
pantry filled with quality pro
cessed foods. With proper plan

SWIMMING, SKIING, ICE SKATING
-ALL IN A DAY’S PLAY
AT BLOOD MOUNTAIN
Skis and ice skates are going to become a permanent part of vaca
tion equipment for Georgians in the future. The reason for this is a new
year-round resort near Blairsville called Blood Mountain Lodge.
The 140-room Lodge has convention facilities, dining room and two
heated pools. The Area Redevelopment Administration has approved
an $838,500 loan to Georgia Mountain Enterprises, the builder, for
financing the $1,290,000 project. Another $129,000 in local funds will
be provided by the Union County Redevelopment Corporation and the
remaining $322,500 will be raised by the sale of stock.
INDIAN LEGENDS
According to tradition, gold
still lies buried in the caves of
Blood Mountain, left there by the
Cherokees before they were forced
westward. The mountain gets its
name from a battle in which the
Cherokees defeated the Creeks for
possession of the north Georgia
highlands, and the streams sup
posedly ran red with blood. Even
before this, Blood Mountain was
the home of the Nunnehi—a race
of spirit people who lived in great
townhouses. A hospitable tribe,
they often sheltered lost hunters
and wanderers in their homes.
Hidden gold and romantic leg
ends aside, Blood Mountain has
much to recommend it as a year
round resort spot. It is situated on
the Union-Lumpkin county line in
an area of splendid natural beauty.
Because of its proximity to other
facilities—the Chattahoochee Na
tional Forest and Vogel State Park
—visitors may enjoy hunting, fish
ing, swimming, boating, comping
and horseback riding. And for the
hardy souls in the mood for a “i r - ■
walk” the Appalachian Tra ; l v. in

Already thousands of t

annually. There is a growing v
for more accommodations for t
people. Blood Mountain Lodge wi'

pared in a short time. Then, be
ready for meals with practically
no preparation required. Think of
the shopping trips saved, battles
with traffic, and time involved in
being away from home!
Remember, home processed
foods make meal planning, pre
paration, and serving a joy.
"FARM CHATS"
Low Corn Yields Are Too Costly
Wheeler County farmers used
to get by with growing only 10
bushels of corn per acre. But
they can’t do that anymore, ac
cording to County Agent, M. K.
Jackson, because it cost too much ;,
to produce such low yields.
Planting good seed is one;
mighty important step toward i'
producing high yields, he declar- j
ed. Using good seed means plant- J'
ing of recommended hybrids. i ■
In choosing hybrids, be sure to 1
buy seed from a reputable dealer.
The county agent warned farm- '
ers that corn growers who wait i‘
until planting time to buy their j
seed may have to plant second- j
rate hybrids that are not recom
mended. He explained that such '
seed are costly, because they do :
not yield as well as recommended
hybrids and usually are not j
adapted to growing conditions in
this county.
Farmers can’t make money on '
ten - bushel-per - acre corn. The 1
cost is too high. That’s why the 1
county-wide goal for the Master
Corn Program is set at a mini- 1
mum of 60 bushels per acre, he
explained.
Remember, plant a recommend
ed hybrid for optimum yields. '
Don't Try Indian's Way
When Planting Corn Crop '
The Indians were planting corn 1
when the white man came to 1
America. The Indian planted sev
eral kernels in a hill and saved •
seed from one crop for another.
But the Indian made very low
per-acre yields of corn.
Today’s corn grower in Wheel
er County must produce economi
cal per-acre yields in order to
compete successfully with corn
growers in other sections of the
country. Our farmers must use
every means available to increase
important, it may be the catalyst
to develop the 'tourist-recreation
facilities of all north Georgia.
It would be difficult to calculate
the economic and psychological
impact of Blood Mountain Lodge.
Certainly a demand for more goods
and services will be stimulated,
along with the development and
improvement of other attractions.
New jobs and bigger payrolls
would be created, leading to the
overall upgrading of the region's
economy.
Bonnell Akins, president of
Georgia Mountain Enterprises, is
responsible for the development of
Blood Mountain. Georgia Moun
tain Enterprises, which has offices
at 1502 Candler Building, Atlanta,
plans to place its stock on the mar
ket within a week or two. Mr.
Akins hopes many Georgians will
buy shares, thereby becoming
owners of the resort. “After all.”
he states, “people would naturally
spend their vacation at a place in
which they have an interest, and
encourage their friends to do the ।
ame. They would be the best ad
ver V-ement we could possibly have!’

per-acre yields as more bushels
per acre means more corn profit
per acre.
The planting of recommended
hybrids will help Wheeler Coun-■
ty corn growers do this job. These
hybrids will utilize water and
fertilizer efficiently, while hy
brids bred for other areas will
not do this in this county.
Experience proves that a par- j
ticular corn hybrid cannot be I
successfully grown very far from ;
its area of adaption. Hybrids that !
have done well in one location |
have failed to perform satisfac-1
torily when planted only 100 j
miles, either north or south, from’
the original planting site.
For this reason it pays to play i
safe by selecting hybrids that ‘
have proved to be adapted for j
this particular area. Hybrids well
adapted to conditions in this coun
ty are:
Yellow — Coker’s 67, Coker’s
71, Dixie 18, Speight D-4 and
Jackson; White — Coker’s 811
and Pfister 653 W.
Farm Agent Warns Against
Planting Crib Corn Seed
“To be a successful participant i
in Wheeler County’s Master Corn
Progam you must plant good
seed,” County Agent M. K. Jack
son, advised farmers this week.
“Otherwise, you probably won’t
reach the county-wide goal of
’Sixty bushels per acre in ’63’.”
“Whatever you do, do not plant
corn seed from the crib. Hybrid
corn seed must be bought anew
each year. If you plant crib corn
instead of new hybrid seed, you
can expect a decrease in yield of
twenty percent or more.
The County Agent said that de
velopment of hybrid corn is one
of the greatest improvements in
agriculture of the past century.
He added that hybrid corn will
produce at least 20 percent great
er yields than the old fashioned,
open pollinated corn.
