Fusiform Gall Rust
On Pine Trees
The bright orange dust you see
on the swollen trunks and branch- ■
es of slash and loblolly pine trees .
is actually spores, states James
■CasSleman, assistant Fifth Dis
trict management forester. Long-:
leaf pine is resistant and short
leaf pine can be considered im
mune for all practical purposes.
The swelling and resulting;
scores is a disease known as fu^-
form gall rust, Mr. Castleman 1
said. This disease attacks trees of
ill ages from seedlings to ma-’
lure trees.
He pointed out that in the
Spring, the dwellings are covered
with blisters that break and re
lease spores in the form of a
bright orange colored powder,
which is carried by the wind to!
oak leaves. The rust fungus must
pass through a stage of growth
on the leaves of various oak spec-;
iqs before it can reinfect pines. ;
In thinning, the trees with stem
galls should be removed first.
Then, remove trees with branch
galls close to the stem. Mr. Castle
man added that trees with branch
galls that are more than 15 inches

| However, it may be necessary to (
i leave some diseased trees to a-,
■. void opening the stand too much ,
Iby over thinning which may in-'

tions. Branch infections that do;
not invade the stem have little I

He advised that maintaining a

the spread of bfanch swell trigs in -!
; to the trunk. Ir. pruning, do not ’
select crop trees with branch
'swellings less than six inches’
‘ fro mthe stem. During the first
1 ; five years after planting, prune
’ the branches with swellings that
-are less than 15 inches from the
’ stem. This will prevent the spread
Jof the disease into the ste m of
। 1 the tree since the disease usually
! will not spread more than 15
I inches down a branch, he empha-,
I sized. After pruning a branch, the
; resulting trunk wound should be
painted with creosote or asphalt
based paint; a paint which can
be purchased at any feed and seed
■ store. This will prevent insects
fro mattacking the trees.

i CAPITOL
tJk REPORT
By Gov. Carl Sanders
It can be truly said that in to
day’s world, education is the defi
nition for civilization.
In light of this and with regard
to combatting modern education
al problems, the State of Georgia
has moved stronger and harder
and in a shorter preiod of time .
than any other state in the Nation. ■
We have dramatically answer- '
ed the call to use our skills in or- ,
der to bring all public schools in
to the 20th Century, and to pre
pare them for the demands of the
21st Century which is barely more
than three decades away.
During the recently-ended ses-'
sion of the General Assembly, this!
Administration made good its
pledges of total commitment to '
the cause of education, by singing
into law an appropriations budget i
which invests nearly 60 cents out j
of every State dollar in the bet
terment of Georgia’s schools —
an amount unprecedented in all
our history.
Aside from the list of State '
spending for specific programs, 1
such as our Honors Program, I
point up the fact that our retired
teachers received more attention '
during this session than ever be- '
fore by, among other things, hav
ing the age at which they can re
ceive retirements benefits lower
ed from 65 to 63.
For our students determined to '
go on to higher education, we put J
into effect a program of State- 1
backed loans, as well as State
scholarships.
And in the interest of restoring
the original language of Senate 1
Bill 180, the Master Plan for Ed
ucation, the General Assembly
voted to abolish the controversial
200-day ruling for teachers.
In 1962, one of my campaign
pledges to the people of. Georgia
was to raise our taeachers’ sal
aries to the more acceptable na
tional level. This, I am happy to
report, has now become a Geor
gia law.
An effective way to illustrate
the impact of what we have done
thus far, is to take another look
st our comparative national rat
ing.
The 1963 report of the Gover
nor’s Commission to Improve Ed
ucation indicated that Georgia
ranked 50th in the Country' in
the percentage of 9th graders who
received their high school degree
three years later. Now Georgia
ranks 43rd nationally — having
I come a long way from the bot
। tom. yet determined to climb even
i farther.
! Moreover, Georgia now ranks
15th among the states in the per-
' centage increase of high school
i graduates over the previous year
In the percentage of revenue
' support for public schools coming
bom local governments. Georgia
'moved from 44th place in 1963-64
to 42nd rank in 1964-65. And we
have ranked 7th in the Nation in
i both years in the per cent of
' revenue coming from State Gov-'
' ernment.
Finally. Georgia today ranks
: 13th in the Nation in the percent
। age of school-age population ac
j tually enrolled in school, with ;
91.1 per cent of our children now
; enrolled. This far surpasses the
jU. S. average of 86.6 per cent,
and is further dramatic testimony
! to our State’s new spirit of deter- .
mination.
; These figures represent only the ;
i beginning. By the end of these
i next two years, it is expected that
: the acceleration of our tmprove
! ments will double and. in some
I instances, triple in speed. >
I But let us always remember
’ that education itself is not our
goal —for education cannot and
should not be considered an end
in itself. But rather, education is
' a means to an end and a path
| way to our goal of a more pros
i perous and enlightened people.
| and — in turn —a better life and
I a better State.

Flue-Cured Tobacco I
Notices In Mail
Notices of individual flue-cured ।
tobacco acreage allotments and :
poundage quotas under the new
tobacco legislation are now being
mailed to farm operators, J. ,O. ।
Perdue, Chairman, Agricultural ;
Stabilization and Conservation,
Georgia, Wheeler Committee, has
announced.
The notices are sent in advance
o fthe May 4 referendum so that ।
farmers may know before they
vote how the new program would
affect their individual farming ]
operations. The farm allotment or
quota is subject to review — as ;
provided bv the regulations — if
an application for that purpose is .
filed with the appropriate ASC i
county office manager within 15 (
days after the mailing of the no- ;
tices.
The new acreage-poundage pro
gram was authorized by law April ।
16, as a means of (1) getting to- ;
bacco supplies into line with de
mand — thus reducing Govern- ।
ment program costs, C 2) prevent- ;
ing further acreage cuts and (3) ;
improving the quality of the to
bacco crop with resulting better
prices and increased exports.
Under the new program, each
farm will receive an 18 per cent
larger acreage allotment than un
der the present acreage allotment
program, and a marketing quota
in pounds — representing the to
bacco, plus 10 per cent, which may
be marketed penalty-free. Any .
marketings in excess of the farm’s
quota, however, will be deducted '
from the farm’s quota for the fol
lowing year. If less than the
poundage quota for a farm is mar
keted in any year, the difference
will be added to the farm's quota
for the following year. Price sup
port will be available on the
farm’s tobacco up to 110 per cent
of the poundage quota if the har
vested acreage is within the new
acreage allotment.
Since the poundage quota will j
protect against excessive market
ings, each farmer would be able
under the new program to aim at
producing high-quality tobacco
without losing part of his share
of the market to other farmers
who might strive for high per- j
acre yields at the expense of qual- i
ity.
If approved by more than two-j
thirds of the growers voting in I
the special May 4 Referendum
the new acreage-poundage quota
program will go into effect for
the 1965, 1966 and 1967 crops of
flue-cured tobacco. If the new pro
! gram is not approved, the present
• program on an acreage basis —
i approved by growers last Decem
ber — will remain in effect. All;
farmers who engaged in the pro- 1
duction of the 1964 flue-cured to-!
bacco crop are eligible to vote in
the special referendum.
Georgia landowners are now
selling more than 5 million cords
.of pulpwood each year, reports
। Dorsey Dyer of the Extension
Service forestry department. Pulp
mills paid $lO4 million for Gear- i
gia-grown wood last year.
