MORE NOISE THAN SUBSTANCE
If you do something bad, everybody always knows about
it. But, you could go to church every Sunday of your life,
take home stray kittens and help old ladies across the street
(forever and never find yourself a celebrity. The younger
(generation and more particularly the older teen-age section
«f it are in this position. The lunatic fringe, the so-called
“hippies,” the LSD trippers and the troublemakers get all
the publicity. Every adult should remember that this mi
anority of the younger generation is not indicative of the
^ambition, intelligence or solid accomplishment of the vast
majority of young people.
As a publisher, Don Robinson of The American Press ob
■ serves, it might help if publications, “. . . would tell more
about some of the outstanding achievements of young peo
_ple and stop encouraging the mentally unbalanced by giv
•ing them all the limelight.”

Farm Storage
Os Soybeans
By DAVID H. WILLIAMS
What does it cost to store soy
beans on the farm?
Soybeans can be stored on the
farm for about 15 cents per bush
el. This figure includes interest
on the investment, shrinkage in
surance, electricity and other
costs.
Usually, you can count on get
ting the lowest prices for soy
beans around October and No
vember. The prices are highest
in various late spring and sum
mer .months.
The relation of on-farm storage
costs and seasonal price varia
tions indicates substantial returns
to a farm storage operation. In
fact, the price spread in past years
has been around 45 cents a bush
el from October to the late spring
or summer months.
Remember, though, that we are
referring to good quality soy
beans, and if you are not planning
to do a good job of storage on
' your farm, then you might as well
go ahead and put them on the
J market now.
Before placing your soybeans
in farm storage make certain that
you can properly' take care of
them.
My office has additional infor
mation on soybean storage.
Corn For
Poultry Feed
By DAVID H. WILLIAMS
It takes over 64 and 2-3 million
bushels of corn just to feed the
poultry in Georgia.
I am speaking mainly of yellow
corn because it is the largest sing
le ingredient from a volume
standpoint especially in the “high
energy” feeds now being fed to
poultry.
A little more than half of the
corn is used for broilers. To be
exact, 38 and one-half m.llion
bushels are needed just for broil
ers in Georgia.
Laying hens require around 21
million bushels of corn for their
total ration which is around 50
per cent corn.
Replacement pullets consume a
large amount of corn, also. Their
consumption is something like
three and three-fourths million
bushels, and then turkeys need a
little more than one million bush
i els of corn to supply their need
ed ration.
So you see that we in Georgia
| can certainly utilize corn in the
i poultry feeds.
