Auto Inspection Program is Moving
Smoothly Says Director Col. Conner
Now that the hullabaloo over Georgia’s original motor vehicle
inspection law has died away and a revised, modified law' is in ef
fect, the State Patrol is moving expeditiously in carrying out the
program aimed at reducing traffic accidents and deaths throughput
Georgia.
“Much valuable time was lost
during the recent legislative has
sle over details of the program,
but now that the law has been
spelled out we are making consid
erable progress in implementing I
the much-needed law,” Col. H. ]
Lowell Conner, director of the [
Georgia Department of Public ।
Safety, declared. “We call on the [
driving public to help us catch
up for lost time.”
Under the law as it now stands,
there are some important things
to remember, according to Capt.
E. D. Mink, supervisor of the Mot
or Vehicle Inspection Division.
The three m: in ones are:
1. Deadline for having vehicles
Sgt. W. C. McAlum

FORT LEAVENWORTH, KAN.
(AHTNC) — Army Sgt. William ■
C. McAlum, 23. son of Mr. and;
Mrs. H. R. McAlum. Alamo R-2,1
was assigned to the Ist Guard I
Company of the U. S. Disciplin-1
ary Barracks at Fort Leaven- ■
worth, Kan., May 10.
Sergeant McAlum, a confine
ment specialist, entered the Army
in July 1960 and was last assign
ed in Korea.
A 1959 graduate of Wheeler
County High School, Alamo, the
sergeant attended Brewton Park
er Junior College, Mount Vernon.
His wife, Leiloni, lives in Lea

Empires And
The Soil
By CLAYTON GARNER
Down through the centuries
great empires have been built
where good soil existed. But as
the people exploited and ruined
the soil their empires crumbled.
Ruins of ancient cities and civ
ilizations have been found be
neath several feet of sand and |
dust. Soil erosion caused the de
struction of most of these civili
zations. Silt and sand from the
once fertile lands clogged the wa
ter supply canals and ditches. As
the water supply trickled to a
stop, the people moved on and
the dust covered the cities.
Are we good stewards of the
soil? There are many acres of [,
land in this great country of ours
that need some kind of treat
ment to protect it from erosion.
This land that we call ours is .
really not ours, but it is left for
us to see after and protect. The
least we can do is to pass it on
in better condition than when we ■
received it. Let’s not bury cur .
civilization in silt and sand to be ■
dug up centuries later.
Modem Management ,
Methods Important
Farmer Tells PC As
Modern management methods
and the ability of PCAs to meet ,
the changing needs of farmers.,
are two important factors in main- 1
taining effective credit services in j
today’s agriculture, according to i
A. D. Farmer, representative of
I (
the Vidali Production Credit As- I
sociation.
Mr. Farmer has just returned;
from a three-day management de. i
velopmen* institute held in Jack-I
.sonville, Fla., for assistant gener-'
al managers, branch office man-11
agers, and representatives of pro-,'
duction credit associations in :
Florida, Georgia and the two
Carolinas.
Management development for
Production Credit Association of-!
facials is a continuing program
for PCAs to effectively provide
the service required in the chang
ing agriculture picture of today,
which is characterized by farm
unit reorganization and expan
sion, Mr. Farmer pointed out.
Topics emphasized at the insti-,
tute were the true functions of;
controls, accepting delegated re- j
sponsibility, self improvement'
and working with other staff:
members.
The Vidalia Association, of ■
which Mr. Farmer is representa-;
five, has 931 farmer-members and
last year extended $2,044,943.18
in c pital purposes and operating
credit to farmers of the area.
The Vidalia Association makes
short and intermediate-term loans
to farmers in four counties, with
the principal office in Vidalia,
and part-time field offices located
in Reidsville and Alamo. >
inspected, put in safe condition
and approved with a safety wind
shield sticker is October 31, 1965.
2. Motorists have 30 days in
which to have needed repairs
made after taking th e vehicle to
। an inspection station for a check
j up. (The car owner can have the
। work done by anyone he chooses.)
i 3. Safety stickers are valid for
a full year (in some instances a
few days longer) from the date it
I is issued.
“In other words,” Capt. Mink
explained, “the March 31, 1966,
expiration date shown on the front
of the sticker no longer applies.
It is to be disregarded by the ve
hicle owner. The date on the back
of the sticker showing when it
was issued is his expiration date
now. This means that renewals
in future will be spread out over
the year instead of falling on one
date — March 31.
“However, in some instances the
I car owner will have several days
l longer than the exact date shown
[ on the back of the sticker. He will
■ have until the last day of the
i month shown. For example, sup
। pose your sticker is issued under
i date of May 7, 1965. You’ll have
until May 31, 1966, to obtain a
new one. This same formula will
be followed in each month.”
Capt. Mink said 1,561 inspec
tion stations throughout the state
had been approved through the
first week in May. The goal is
2,000 stations. The inspection fee
is $1.25, the same as under the
original bill.
“We are well pleased with the
way the program is now going,”
he said. “But we urge motorists to
have their vehicles checked as
soon as possible — right away.
By doing it well in advance of
the October 31 deadline, they will
avoid a last minute jam-up at in
spection stations.”
Talmadge, Russell To
Recommend New
U. S. Judge Soon
U. S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge
said in Washington that he and
his senior colleague, Sen. Richard
B. Russell, will take “speedy ac
tion” on recommending a succes
sor to retiring Federal District
Judge Boyd Sloan, of Gainesville.
Sen. Talmadge said Judge Sloan
one of the three judges in the!
Northern District of Georgia, in- :
formed him of his intention to:
retire. He said he and Sen. Rus-[
sell will confer about a replace-,
ment as soon as Sen. Russell re-;
turns to Washington.
The Georgia senior senator is
at his home in Winder recuper-.
ating from a prolonged illness.
which has kept him away from
Washington for some time.
The two Georgia senators will
make their recommendation be
fore Judge Sloan vacates th»
bench August 1.
“There will be speedy actios
on our part,” Sen. Talmadge said
“We can agree in a few minutes
but I cannot say what the attor
ney general and the White Housf
will do.”
President Lyndon B. Johnsor
will appoint Judge Sloan’s suc
cessor. The President’s nomina
tions of federal district judgeships
which in the past traditionally has
followed the recommendations o!
senators in the states where i
vacancy occurs, are subject tc
Senate confirmation.

"FARM CHATS"
By M. K. JACKSON
HORN FLY CONTROL
ON LIVESTOCK
i It is alarming, but it is true [
1! that external parasites on live- j
stock cost Georgians more than’
■ 15 million dollars a year. ;
'' Horn flies or ticks alone may |
Lcut your beef gain by one half)
' pound per day per head. If you j
'! are a dairyman, your loss could
j be 15 to 25 per cent of your milk
- j production.
: [ Let’s see how we can control
: . horn flies.
| For dairy animals you may use ।
'. 5 per cent malathion or 50 per l
' । cent methovychlor as a dust. |
[There are several precautions in;
; using these so make sure you
: know these before using them.
’ | Sprays for dairy animals include
’[synergized pyrethrins oil solu
’ I tion, synergized pyrethrins spray,
.Ciodrin 0.5 per cent, or DDVP
•0.25 per cent plus Ciodrin 1.0:
’ । per cent.
You may also use an oil solu
; tion of Ciodrin 1 per cent.
’ i For beef animals you .may use
las sprays methoxychlor 0.5 per
i cent, toxaphene 0.5 per cent, Co
[Ral 0.25 per cent, Ronnel 0.5 per
J cent, or malathion 0.5 per cent.
। [ Again, there are several precau
[ | tions on using these so make sure
. [you know them.
: Oil solutions for beef animals
may be made from malathion 2
I per cent, Ronnel 1 per cent, DDT
j 5 per cent, toxaphene 5 per cent.
. | methoxychlor 5 per cent, or Cio
[ drin 1 per cent.
I APPLYING COTTON
INSECTICIDES
j I
You must be able to apply in-
I secticides to your cetton in a man
,ner that will be thorough and
i correct.
, Should you use a sprayer or a ;
I duster?
Well, many farmers have chan-1
: ged from dusters to sprayers, be- ■
' cause they have found that under
[ average farm conditions they can
j do a better job with the sprayer.
One advantage of a sprayer is
; that you can work in winds up to
115 miles per hour. A duster should
; never be used in winds over five
' miles per hour.
Because there is less delay due
to wind conditions a farmer can
better stay on schedule with a
•sprayer. This is of prime import-j
; ance in controlling cotton insects. |
[ Another advantage of sprayers j
■ i is that the insecticide cost is low- [
er.
[ Too, the dosage per acre can I
be better controlled when using;
a sprayer.
'SEEDING A LAWN
Have you decided that you are :
going to seed your lawn instead j
■ of sprigging?
i If you have decided to seed. [
? • let’s examine a few points that i
; will help you get a good stand i
5! of grass.
You may distribute the seed by
, hand or with a mechanical seed- j
[ cr. For an even distribution mix !
-a carrier of topsoil or sand with j
j seed. Divide the mixed material j
j ! into two equal parts, and then [
2' sow one part in one direction, and |
- the other part crosswise to the i
- first sowing.
After getting the seed onto the
- ground you will then need to
? cover the seed LIGHTLY. Do this
-by hand raking or by dragging
- with a brush or mat. Large seed
- should be covered one-fourth to
• three-eighths inch deep and small
- seed one-eighth to one-fourth inch.
. After covering you need to firm
- the seeded area bv rolling with
i a light roller or cultipacker.
, 1 Mulching with weed-free straw 1
• or hay will help hold moisture
: and prevent washing.
; Speaking of moisture, keep new
I seedlings moist until well estab
lished. Once the lawn seed have
■ begun to germinate they must not
dry out.
I GOOD FARM PREPAREDNESS
PLANS ARE IMPORTANT
1 A sound and stable agriculture
. is one of America’s greatest sour
ces of strength.
In the .event of an emergency,
the Georgia farmer would be de
pended on to supply the food and
fiber needed to keep the economy
of our state going.
In the event of a nuclear dis
aster, whether accidental or en
emy attack, first provide for your
safety and for that of your family
and neighbors. Then take care of
your livestock, your crops and
your land.
Make your family survival and
your farm preparedness plans
now.
Be ready to resume production
of vital food and fiber after any
emergency. Keep your plans up
to date and be sure all of your
family knows where thej’ are
posted and which tasks will be
the responsibilit.y of each mem
ber of the family.
Intelligent planning will pre
vent panic!
