School’s out! This means
vacation time to Mom and
Dad, as well as to the
youngsters. Nearly everyone
has a week or two to get away
from it all during the summer,
and besides that there are
several summer weekends that
will be spent on trips.
Vacations mean different
things to different people, but
a high percentage of Georgians
see this time as the
opportunity to enjoy outdoor
sports, including camping,
fishing and boating Many
people think first of far away
places when they think of
summer vacation .. but those
with budget problems may
decide this is the year to stay
closer to home, forego that
“dream trip” and try to
salvage a good time in their
home state.
Well, the truth of the
matter is you can visit some of
the best vacation land
anywhere right here in
Georgia, do it on a budget,
and on top of that not wear
yourself out with a long trip.
If camping is your thing,
there’s no reason you can’t
stay well within your budget
anywhere in Georgia. There
are plenty of fine camping
spots near good fishing and
boating areas. If you prefer
more comfort, you still should
have no problem finding
motels in most areas.
Hot summer weather brings
to mind two particular types
of vacation sites .. .mountains
and seashore. Georgia has
both. And there is camping
available at both places. The
mountains have abundant
National Forest land with
ample camping, and offer
good trout fishing. You have a
choice of improved campsites,
or anything on down the line
to backpacking into back
country. The Appalachian
Trail is a favorite of the rugged
walking campers.
There’s a fine campground
on Jekyll Island whery you’ll
be on the seashore if that’s
what appeals to your taste.
Here you can swim or surf
do so with this office not later
than the 28th day of June, 1971,
at 5:00 o’clock p.m., Daylight
Saving Time. Any further in
quiries should be addressed to
this office.

Georgia Offers
Much To Vacationers
fish, rent a boat or take your
own, and fish the inland
saltwater or go offshore to, for
example, the Sapelo Reef.
There’s no need to go to other
states.. .Georgia has an
abundance of saltwater
fishing. Mlany fish camps along
the coast have camping
facilities.
These are the two most
obvious directions for the
stay-at-home camper to go,
but if he likes warmwater
lakes, he’s missing a bet. if he
doesn’t consider the large
reservoirs. There are lakes with
good camping, boating and
fishing over almost all of our
state. Giving suggestions of
which to visit would be much
like listing a directory of all
the lakes in the state.
Nearly all of the lakes, of
course, offer anything a boater
may want. AU have good
fishing. And most have good
camping. For example, the
biggest lakes in the state are
built by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers and have an
abundance of good boat
ramps, public use areas, and
camping areas. A suggestion
here would include such lakes
as Hartwell, Walter F. George,
Clark Hili and Seminole. Os
course, Lanier and Allatoona
are popular, but for this
reason are often quite
crowded. These two lakes do
have much to offer.
In the mountains, Lakes
Burton, Blue Ridge, Chatuge
and Nottely can fill the bill
beautifully.
Camping facilities and
public boat ramps are scarce at
most of the other lakes, but
fishing is good. You’ll have to
rely on fish camps for camping
areas and ramps. Good lakes
to consider include Sinclair.
Jackson, and Blackshear.
More details about where
there are fish camps and what
facilities they can supply, may
be obtained by writing the

Commission, Public

Beautification Project
For Wheeler County
The third place winner in
the essay contest - in Beauti

- in Wheeler County during
Earth Week.
By Steve Brewer
The disposal of trash in the
rural areas presents a problem.
Many people simply find an area
off the highway for dumping
their garbage. There is a much
better way to dispose of
garbage.
The forests in Wheeler
County which have not already
been spoiled beyond repair are
rapidly becoming filled with
discarded junk of humans. Many
people try to get away from it
all by going to places which
they think are seldom fre
quented by man. In these in
stances, it is very disconcerting
to stumble on to apile of Catsup
bottles, mayonaise jars, and
sickening egg shells, which
seem to attract every fly of
every description from every
comer of the earth. If some
one with a keen nose has the
wind in his favor, he can smell
this mess a good quarter of a
mile before lie is graced with
its presence.
Garbage can be disposed of
in a much more mannerly
fashion with a simple garbage
pit. This pit should be built to
the individuals particular need.
An average size pit would be 4
feet deep, 3 feet wide, and 10
feet long. Trash could be put
into the pit and burned. The
pit could be screened by mam
moth sunflowers, flowering
quince, boxwoods and other such
tawdy-dawdy that fine people
like to see protruding from
their beautiful yards.
Anything would be better than
scattering the eye-catching
trash all over the County. Some
of us like to see a beautiful
tract of land even though others
prefer to see commercial
enterprises, traffic jams and
white collar workers.
Some things should go un
said but the unsaid speaks for
itself to those who listen.

W. H. .Sell, one of our Ex
tension agronomists, passed on
these rule-of-thumb tips which
may help.
Com should be harvested
when dry matter content is 30
to 35 percent. Sell points out
that this usually occurs when
com ear development is in the
early dent to dent stage.
Under extremely dry and hot
conditions, when com does not
make an ear, silage should be
harvested when maximum stalk
growth has developed but before
the plants begin to die.
Silage sorghums should be
harvested in the early dough
stage. Other annual summer
plants, such as the millets,
should be harvested in the late
boot stage.
Get Ready
Harvesting and storing equip
ment should be ingood condition
before harvesting starts. The
cutting and storing operation
should be completed as quickly
as possible in order topreserve
the high quality of the forage.
Silage crops should be
chopped from one-fourth to one
half inch in length and packed
thoroughly. „A good job of
packing is necessary toprovide
for adequate fermentation and
to keep down spoilage.
Preservatives?
Com and grain sorghum sil
ages do not need preservatives.
Other plants, however, such as
the millets and other forage
sorghums, should have a
preservative added at the time
of storage.
It’s a good idea to have a
forage analysis made of your
silage before feeding it. This
will give the information needed
in order to prepare a balanced
ration for your dairy or beef
cattle.

War Orphans Are
Urged To Apply
For Educ. Aid
With high school graduation
time approaching, Georgia Vet
erans Service Director Pete
Wheeler this week is reminding
those graduates whoare classi
fied as “war orphans” not to
put off making application for
educational benefits to which
they are entitled. Wheeler says
that some graduates could miss
out on some generous GI Bill
benefits because they don’t know
the eligibility requirements.
“Some children feel ttatthey
do not qualify as ‘war orphans’
because they have one parent
still living,” says Wheeler,
"when actually there are sev
eral circumstances under which
a child may be so classified.
These include: 1. a child of a
veteran who has a total and
permanent service-connected
disability; 2. a child of a vet
eran who died of a service
connected disability; or 3. a
child of a veteran who died of
any cause while rated perman
ently and totally service
connected disabled.
“In addition to these cases,”
says Wheeler, “children of
servicemen listed for more than
90 days as ‘missing-in-action’
or as “prisoners of war’ are
now eligible for the same edu
cational benefits.”
Many young people may be
hesitant about applying because
they have married and no longer
' consider themselves as “chil
dren.” According to Wheeler,
"Eligibility is not affected by
marriage. And this also is true
in the event that the one living
parent, usually the mother, re
marries and tlie children are
legally adopted by tlreir step
flither. These children are still
eligible.”
Generally, any child of a
qualified veteran is eligible for

Os Their Future
Returning to his alma mater
as commencement speaker, U.
S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge
gave the 1971 University of
Georgia graduates some advice
on what the future may hold
for them. Said the senator:
“You, collectively and indivi
dually, will largely determine
how we will turn over this
century' and go into a new one.
Whether we continue progress
already underway, and make
even greater- gains, will be up
young people like you. Tire same
can be said of whether we stand
still, or even IXII backwards.”

Emphasizing that he fully un
derstands that “you have a
mammoth undertaking ahead,”
Talmadge said, “I wish I had a

health, welfare and happiness.
I do not. I wish I could say
you were not going out into a
world filled with problems that
are costly, complex and contro
versial. That would not be
honest.”
On ttat note, the Georgia
senior senator discussed at
length some of the unsolved
major problems of the times,
such as economic disorder and
inflation, pollution, human re
lations, urban crisises, and the
war in Viet Nam.
“This then and much more,”
he declared, “is the legacy
you are about to inherit. You
are not in an altogether enviable

laurels of the gene ration before.

is made. It will continue to be
