<CMKtaI Bermuda Grass
In Wheeler County there are
approximately 5,000 acres of
Coastal Bermuda Grass. This year
there will be planted some addi
tional acres.
You have seen the good results
•®f This grass, but it must have
help if it is to emerge into a suc
cessful crop. Good Coastal Ber
muda Grass just doesn’t happen.
It is planned and made to happen.
After growth begins on the new
Coastal Bermuda Grass you shoul
Coastal Bermuda Grass you
should apply 30 pounds of nitro
gen in the row. Then after the
runners have met in the middle,
additional nitrogen should be
broadcast. Os course, you don’t
want to leave out the other ele
ments such as lime, phosphate,
and potash. Follow your soil test
recommendation for these items.

muda Grass or any other grass

Catton Insect Sprayers
You probably don’t have cot
ton old enough to spray for the
tontrnl of insects, but you should
’be thinking and making plans.
Today, let’s think about those
sprayers and see if they are in
running order.
Do not mix nozzles as to size
and make on the SAME machine.

“We try to build what people want. And
they want ALL-ELECTRIC HOMES," |
say the developer and the
builder of Mockin’ Bird Hill.
Charles Mueller and Nathan Mills can
prove their point. The 64 original home
sites in Mockin’ Bird Hill were sold in
three months. Over 100 have been added
and are going fast.
Every house in Mockin’ Bird Hill will be
all-electric. Owners like the idea of clean, i
comfortable electric heat. Proper insula
tion guarantees more warmth in winter,
greater coolness in summer. A 40-gallon
■water heater means plenty of hot water
at all times. And flameless electric cooking
appeals to women.
Mockin’ Bird Hill is a subdivision of
SII,OOO to $16,000 homes, off the South
Freeway, 18 minutes from Atlanta. Pay
ments are as low as $66, and electricity,
including heat, as low as sl9 a month.
"We’re sold on all-electric living because
our customers are,” says Mr. Mills. “Our
next development will be all-electric, too,”
says Mr. Mueller.

- Lawn Weed Control
That lawn of yours is begin
ning to look nice, but you want
’ to keep those ugly weeds from
’ taking over.
’ Today I will give you a few '
1 precautions to undertake when
1 treating your lawn with chemi
■ cals. These chemical applications
: sure beat pulling those weeds by
> hand. 1
' Be sure to follow recommenda
• tions when applying herbicides to ■
avoid damage to susceptible
' plants. Use 2,4-D amine forms or
the low-volatile esters to avoid I
vapor drift onto desirable plants. 1
Always apply herbicides in low 1
wind with plenty of water, and 1
use the sprayer only for apply- *
ing herbicides, once 2,4-D has 5
been applied with it.
May I again urge you to fol- '
low recommendations. Improper 1
use of herbicides will do damage. *

Rock Eagle 4-H Club Center
Have you ever visited the Rock 3
Eagle 4-iH Club Center?
This is quite a place and we 1
in Wheeler County and the state (
of Georgia should be very proud
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY. GEORGIA
of the wonderful facilities avail
able there.
May I urge you to stop there
for a few minutes on your vaca
tion trip this year, if you are
near. It is located in Putnam j
County about five miles north of ।
Eatonton on U.S. 129 and 441. It
is plainly marked so you won’t
have any trouble finding it.
Speaking of visiting Rock Eag
le, last year 43,837 persons at
; tended the 4-H Club center for
I various activities. This brings the
{ total number to 258,308 since the i
building of the facility.
The largest type of groups us-!
i ing the facility last year were 4-(H;
j Club members and their staff and ।
church groups. These groups ac-{
count for about 26,000 attendance. J
Twenty (20) 4-H Club members {
from Wheeler County will soon
be going to Rock Eagle for the
District Pro j e ctt Achievemen
'meeting. I know that we will
! make a good showing and have
several district champions that
will become state champions in
their 4-H Club work.
Radialion From Nuclear Attack
The only way to protect your-I
self from radiation from a nuclear |
explosion is to stay away from it. ■
Radioactivity is nothing new,;
and it can be used to aid man-1
kind. However, when uncontrol-{;
led, as in fallout, it can also kill .
us.
Let's hope it never happens,
but suppose a bomb bursts on
or close to the ground here in
Wheeler County.
The fireball from this nuclear '
bomb draws a great deal of earth {
and debris up into the air. Here .
it will melt and fuse with radio- .
active material from the bomb. ।
This is then called fallout.
This fallout danger comes from ,
gamma rays and beta particles. ,
It takes shielding of a dense ma- j
terial to stop gamma rays, but (
beta particles are not very pene- £
trating so ordinary clothes will J
shield you from them.
If an attack ever comes, shield
yourself from gamma rays by j
taking shelter. Protect your skin t
from beta particles and keep them .
out of food, feed, and water. j
I have more information for ,
you concerning fallout and other
aspects f Civil Defense, so let me j
know if you want this informa- j
tion, j

Although some fine progress is
being made in the initial stages of
the nationwide drive to eradicate
hog cholera, it still remains the
No. 1 enemy of the nation’s hog
raisers.
Two encouraging signs have
been reported. First, about 45 per
cent of the hogs in this country
were vaccinated against hog chol
era in 1961 (an increase over 1960
vaccinations and the highest level
since 1954). Second, by concerted
efforts, we cut our reported chol
era outbreaks an estimated 15
per cent during the year.
CHOLERAj^
KEEP OUT •
„„ ■./>" — f
~H~rg. I
Cholera is still our No. 1
swine killer. All hogs should
be vaccinated.
Vaccination is one of the key j
points in the eradication program, I
but authorities say we must reach j
a vaccination level of at least 75 ■
per cent of the herds if a proper
wall of immunity is to be erected, j
Proper vaccination, of course, is ;
not a routine procedure. There
are many factors which affect
getting good, solid immunity. For
this reason, it is a good plan to ;
have the vaccinating done by a j
veterinarian, who knows the best .
type of vaccine to use, and how to
do the job right. Spring is one of
the peak periods for cholera;
hence, now is a good time to have
vaccinating done.
An improved system of report- ■
ing outbreaks is another part of i
the eradication program. To help I
insure the success of the program, 1
the officials directing it must have
every bit of information, including |
tire total number of outbreaks, ;
source of infection and spread of
the disease.
The producer can make an im- i
portant contribution in this regard |
by reporting every suspicious case \
to a veterinarian, so a diagnosis I
can be made and proper steps '
taken to contain the outbreak.
Hog cholera now costs farmers
an estimated S6O million a year.
If the present intensified eradica
tion program is successful, a ma
jor source of today’s swine losses
win be eliminated.

Short Periods Os
Sleep OK For Head
I Injury Victims
Many people believe that per
|sons who have suffered head in
juries shouldn’t be allowed to
{sleep for some time after the in
jjury. This is a misconception. It
is true that such persons should
{be wakened at regular intervals
just to make sure that they have
n’t become unconscious but it
isn’t necessary to keep them
awake indefinitely.
Keeping a person, especially a
child, awake when he obviously
wants to go to sleep and probably
needs sleep is trying for every
one. A small child will eventually
■ go to sleep from sheer exhaustion
{no matter how much someone
I tries to keep him awake. Pester-!
(ing him to stay awake just makes
{him fretful. It is much better to
{let the child snooze and awaken
{him at intervals. This is true for
adults with head injuries as well.
This doesn’t mean, however,
that one should not seek medical
attention after a head injury if
the situation calls for it. It simply
means that there is no need to
keep the injured person awake
if he wants to go to sleep. Some
times a mother becomes very
worried because her child bumps {
his head, then refuses to stay
awake. If the accident occurs
when the child is sleepy he will 1
still be sleepy after the accident.
Regardless of when the accident
occurs, the child will become
sleepy as his normal bedtime or 1
naptime approaches. Such sleepi- ‘
ness is no cause for alarm.
Vomiting after a head injury is ;
likewise not necessarily a sign of {
serious injury. Empting the stom
ach when anything goes wrong
is one of nature’s normal reac- f
tions. {
From the standpoint of indicat- (
ing serious trouble, dazed behav- ,
ior after a head injury is much {
more significant than sleepiness {
or vomiting. Bleeding from the
ears or nose is anothei- sign call
ing for a careful checkup. In such ‘
cases the patient can be watched
for small changes in normal body !
signs and, if necessary, treatment
can be started.
It should be remembered also :

that seemingly minor injuries can
cause serious damage. Factors
other than the severity of the blow
causing the injury influence the
outcome.
DOC MAG SAYS:
1. It isn’t necessary for a per
son who has injured his head to
be kept awake for a long period
after the injury. However, he
should be awakened at intervals
to make certain that he has not
lapsed into unconsciousness.
2. Unconsciousness, dazed be
havior, bleeding from the ears or
nose, vomiting and sometimes
drowsiness may signal serious
damage from a head injury.
The Veterans Comer
i
Here are authoritative answers j
by the Veterans Administration to |
questions from former service
men and their families:
Q — My husband, a veteran of
World War 11, died recently. Am
I, or are my children, eligible for
a GI home loan?
A— If your husband died of
a service-connected disability and
you have not remarried you are
eligible, but children of deceased
veterans are NOT eligible for GI
loans.
Q — What is the oldest group
of veterans now that Civil War
veterans are all gone?
A— There are 26 surviving
veterans of the Indian Wars and ■
most are in their nineties.
Q — I have a chronic skin dis- {
ease. As a veteran am I entitled I
to treatment at a Veterans Ad
ministration outpatient clinic?
A— To be eligible for VA out
patient care a veteran must have
a service-connected disability or
must be receiving vocational re
habilitation training and needs
treatment to avoid interrupting
his training, or be a veteran of
the Spanish American War. Also,
veterans applying for compensa
tion or pension benefits or for in
surance may have a medical ex
amination at a VA outpatient
clinic as may veterans who are
seeking to determine the need
for hospital care.
PEACH TREES DAMAGED
Many peach trees have been
seriously injured and in many
cases killed by ‘he severe weath
er this past winter. Dr. E. F.
Savage, horticulturist at the Geor
gia Experiment Station, made
that report this week after ex
aming trees in the Fort Valley
area. Dr. Savage feels that the
condition will be more prevalent
as the crop progresses.

within himself, it is useless to

CONSERVATION
By W. E. Vassey
Crop rotations help to control
. nematode in cotton. Fumigation
lasts for only one season and
should be repeated if cotton is
; cropped continuously.
' { Crop rotation — switching from
{ cotton to oats, barley or sorghum,
is a more practical control. Grow
ing crops other than cotton for
; at least three years is long
enough to rid soil of nematodes.
Don’t use broadleaved plants in
rotation because, like cotton they
are nematode hosts.
Mr. Cox of the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service advises that bass
for stocking ponds in Wheeler
County will be here in about two
weeks.
L. C. Mcßae and H. G. Sam
ples have completed a soil and
water conservation plan for their
farms with the Ohoopee River
Soil and Water District.
TAKES EFFORT, BUT . . .
It is not possible to have an
attractive and functional garden
without some effort, say Coop
erative Extension Service land
scape specialists. But there are
many things that can be done
to cut down bothersome jobs that
often take much of the pleasure
out of gardening. One of the most
important steps is to have a de
velopment plan.
