Why Not Try It?
A recent report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
says, “Serious crime in the United States increased 11 per
went in 1966 when compared with 1965 . . .” Newspapers arej
with crime stories all the way from purse snatching by
children to murder.
Legislation has been introduced in Congress which would'
provide for a $25 million program to combat juvenile crime.
The $25 million would pay for research into untried methods
of controlling and preventing juvenile crime, strengthening
local and state juvenile courts, treatment institutions and cor-
Teetional services, and aiding communities in establishing
new diagnostic and treatment programs for delinquents and
“potential” delinquents.
One simple “untried method” to help correct juvenile de
linquency is never mentioned, probably because is would not
take a large appropriation of money. It could be applied in
iwmes, schools and colleges. Any child old enough to talk
could understand it. It is the simple admonition to “Keep
Your Hands Off Oother People and Other People’s Property.”
Five minute illustrations could be given from the daily
newspapers showing what happens to individuals who fail j
to keep their hands off other people and other peoples prop
erty. Much suffering could be averted by general adherence
to this simple rule of conduct.
Summer Thoughts
The warming sun and the breezes of spring herald the
coming of another summer season. For a large percentage of
our population—our young people—the coming of summer
means just one thing, the end of school. Every student, wheth
er this summer means lazy days at the old swimming hole, a
summer job. baseball in the school yard or the beginning of a
career, should keep in mind one thing about the world around

। him—it is changing more quickly than we can imagine.
Academic training can give an invaluable store of knowl- ':
edge of our history and our heritage, of human relations, ofl
technical matters with concrete commercial value. It can give
preparation to meet the world as it exists on the day of grad
uation. But the day after, the week after, the year after, new
knowledge, new reactions, new circumstances will pile up.
The summer season may mark the end of school days for
three months or for the rest of a person’s life, but it does not'
mark an end to the need for learning and growing in order
to keep up with and contribute to the fast paced world
around us.
So, find the fun of summer, let it bring exhilaration, re
freshment and the perception to find knowledge and under
standing in the blooming of a buttercup and the flame of a
sunrise as well as in the schoolroom, library or laboratory, j
Successful living must be based on a constant enlargement of
all kinds of knowledge.

Soybean Fertilization
By David H. Williams
When soybeans are planted on
j light sandy type soils and when
i not following a previously heavi
! ly fertilized crop you should use
: a fertilizer containing nitrogen
: such as a 5-10-15 analysis.
On soils fairly high in organic
; matter, or when soybeans are fol
; lowing a previously heavily fer
! tilized crop, you should use a zero
: grade nitrogen fertilizer analysis
such as 0-10-20.
As for the amount of fertilizer,
! you should follow your soil test
; information; however, a general
recommendation if your soil is
! high in both phosphorus and po
: tassium is to use a soil mainten
; ance fertilizer application such as
i 200 to 300 pounds of 5-10-15 or
: 0-10-20 fertilizer.
Nitrogen is not recommended
: for soybean production with the
■ exception of the small amount
■ contained in the seedbed fertili

The Cooperative
Extension Service
University of Ga.
By Rebecca M. Walker
After making serveral reports
•to you concerning the service
I units of the University of Geor
'gia. I come to one today which
11 feel I can tell you most about
। It’s the orginization in which I
i serve—The Cooperative Exten
! sion Service of the University’s
j College of Agriculture.
The Extension Service was cre
iated by the Smith-Lever Act in
1914. Since the Experiment Sta
■ tions had already been in opera
tion for many years, there was a
tremendous backlog of valuable
agricultural research information
which needed to be made avail
able to the people.
The Act provided for the U. S.
Department of Agriculture to join
with the states in conducting off
campus educational programs re
lating to agriculture, home eco
nomics, and youtn development.
Two major responsibilities of
the Extension Service are to be
a service arm for the University
and an educational arm for the
USDA. Thus, county agents and
county extension home econo'-
mists are representatives of both
the University and USDA
Specialists in more than 20 sub
ject matter ateas are available to
assist us in planning programs
and carrying out recommended
practices. They are located in
! Athens. Major areas of service
■ within the broad categories of
'work include: agricultural engi-
I neering, agronomy, anima!
science, community and resource
development, dairy science, eeo
' nomics and farm management, en
tomology, forestry, horticulture,
landscape architecture, marketing
and utilization, plant pathology,
poultry science, veterinary medi
cine, food preservation, home
management, housing and equip
ment, home furnishings, nutrition
and youth development, including
the 4-H Club program.
The subject matter specialists
gather the latest research infor
mation from the experiment sta
tions, the USDA and other sources
and make it available to us along
with recommendations.
Speci'F programs aie also car
ried out with resource develop
ment, rural area development and
; rea icoevelopment, including the
work of ire Area Planning; and
Development Commission.
The Extension Service has edu
cational responsibility for the
Rut al Civil Defense program. It
cooperates in many phases of the
Economic Opportunities Act.
A County Program Develop
ment Board in each county helps
develop and guide the Extension
program. A State Extension Ad-1

IN A VERY SHORT time thousands of young Georgian
will be graduating from high schools all across the state. This
is indeed a very important milestone and worthy of note and
commendation.
But it should never be considered the end of one’s education.
The truth is, it is only the beginning of a very long, and often
very difficult road ahead. It is important that young men and
women keep this foremost in their minds as they start their
adult life.
In this complex age the demands of society and the business
world are greater than ever before. Tremendous pressures are on
the individual to know, to do, and to be able to produce. And
those who fail to meet the test will inevitably be left behind.
So make no mistake about it, education and training today
are far more important to economic security and gainful em
ployment than ever before. And it becomes even more vital with
the passing of each year.
• • •
OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE is the fact that education in
America is much more than just a “bread and butter” affair.
Knowledge and learning are assets which enable the individual
to make decisions and to act intelligently on the great problem
and issues of the day.
Our younger citizens need to know and understand the full
meaning of the American way of life and that the freedom and
prosperity which we enjoy in this nation did not come about as
an accident of history.
It is imperative to know why our people have more liberty
and opportunity than any other in the world. It is vital to the
economic security of America to understand the value of the free
enterprise system which has rewarded us with the highest standard
of living in the world,

AS I SEE IT THIS IS just as much a part of American
education as the arts, sciences, and social studies. It probably
falls more in the category of history and appreciation and respect
for the American heritage.
Unfortunately, we sec much evidence today that something
is lacking in this area, and there are manifestations in the streets
and on many campuses, both# high school and college, of the
truth in what Alexander Pope said a long time ago:
“A little learning is a dangerous thing.’’
