Slash Pine Tree
Seedlings To Be
Offered This Year
High gum yielding slash pine
tree seedlings are being made
available to Georgia landowners
for the first time this year,
announced Ray Shirley, direc
tor, Georgia Forestry Com
mission.
The production of the 942,000
slash pine, selectively grown
for naval stores, represents
another step forward in the
Georgia Forestry Com
mission’s Tree Improvement
Program.
High gum yield trees were
selected in Georgia and Florida
based on the criteria that the
selection must produce twice
the amount of gum than a tree
of the same diameter. The best
first generation trees from
these selections were selected
and cuttings made available to
cooperating agencies. In 1971,
the Georgia Forestry Commis
sion is making available trees,
from the above firstgeneration,
which is classified as second
generation trees from the
original parent tree selection.
These trees were tested and
liave shown a 12 percent volume
growth above average and 50-
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GA. 30411 FRIDAY, AUG. 27, 1971
100 percent more gum produc
tion than average.

lings were grown from certi
fied seed. The certified seed
stock will account for 46 per
cent of the total tree seedling
crop of 50,745,424 trees,
Shirley said. The improved tree
seedlings consist of loblolly
and slash pines.
Approximately 44,627,044
tree seedlings are available
for order by Georgia landown
ers. An additional 6,118,380
tree seedlings are being grown
under contract for industries.
The seed, furnished by industry,
came from theirseedproducing
orchards.
In announcing the availability
of tree seedlings, Shirley re
ported that prices are the same
as last year. Two species, black
locust and baldcypress were
added to the production list.
■ Dropped from the list were
swamp chestnut oak, chestnut
oak and white oak.
The species and cost per
thousand are longleaf, short
leaf, slash and Virginia pines,
$5; improved loblolly and slash
pines and lespedeza, $6; and

50 cents per thousand trees
and 25 cents per five hundred

Cotton Care
By David H. Williams
Cotton growers are making
a special effort during the re
nainder of the current season
to make top yields. Industry
leaders say the cotton is needeo
to avert a shortage which pos
sibly could endanger the crop’s
competitive position.
Fourteen states are partici
pating in the government-indus
try campaign to encourage
maximum production. The pro
gram in Georgia is headed by
L. W. Eberhardt Jr., director
of the Cooperative Exentsion
Service, and Hubert Cheek,
grower from Bowersville.
Major emphasis is being
placed on insect control, late
weed control and proper liar
vesting.
Late-season insect control
is most important. As our Ex
tension entomologists have
pointed out, if insects are al
lowed to build up in late season,
this eliminates the possibility
of making a good middle and
top crop of bolls.

munity and civic unity as well.
First of all, there were minor
steps. For instance, Catholic
groups began promoting total
abstinence in honor of the thirst
of Jesus on the cross. And
other groups of the Christian
brotherhood began to say, “Let
us show some respect toward
the Virgin Mary, simply
because she is the mother of
our Savior.”
But the major thrust for
better understanding and mutual
trust has come from the work
of the Holy Spirit in the world
today. This influence can be
seen in the thorny problem
of authority’ within the church
in our time. Christian leaders
used to consider this as the
major barrier among them
selves. Authority, once viewed
as power, force, management
- over others, is now being re
interpreted to agree with tlie
viewpoint of the early
Christians.
This view is expressed by
Jesus Himself: “You know that
among the pagans their so
called rulers lord it over them,
and their great men make their
authority felt. This is not to
happen among you. No; anyone
who wants to become great
among you must be your
servant, and anyone who wants
to be first among you must be
slave to all. For the Son of
man himself did not come to
be served but to serve, and to
give his life as a ransom for
many.” Mark 10:41-45.
Church authority, then, must
be an authority of service, ser
vice within and toward a com
munity of love. And how did
Christ Jesus exercise this kind
of authority? One example, at
the Lord’s Supper: “Do you
understand what I have done
to you? You call me Master
and Lord, and rightly; so I am.
If I then, the Lord and Master,
have washed your feet, you
should wash each others feet.
I have given you an example
so that you may copy what I
have done to you.” John 13:
12-15.
The Scriptural notion of au
thority of service means being
at the disposal of another.
Therefore, the true Christian
serves Christ as his Lord,
and he serves his fellow men
as brothers. He is at the dis
posal of Christ through open
ness to His Will. He is at the
disposal of others through open
ness to their needs.
Christian Unity can be at
tained in the years ahead, be

Goals For Georgia
Reaches First
Plateau
With the conclusion of the
regional conferences August 12,
the Governor's Goals forGeor
gia Program lias reached its
first plateau.
There have been 61 regional
conferences attended by nearly
13,000 Georgians. To date, al
most 6,000 completed con
ference workbooks have been
turned over to Goals officials
for compilation.
The next step is the com
pletion of the citizen attitude
survey to be conducted during
August and September to gain
even further insight into what
the people think and to assure
ttiat an accurate cross-section
of the people is represented
in the Goals program .
The material compiled from
the regional conferences, the
citizen attitude survey, and the -
letters that the governor re- ■
ceives everyday, will be used
by the co-chairman in each
major area of government to ’
develop issues for the eight
statewide conferences sche
duled for October.
In addition, questions and
comments received during the
eight hour-long ETV programs
this summer will be forwarded
to the co-chairmen. It is esti
mated that over 250,000 Geor
gians watched the programs.
An average of 30 telephone
calls per hour were received
from viewers throughout the
state who called in their com
ments on a toll-free line. The
last program in the series was
aired August 24.
The 17 co-chairmen ap
pointed earlier this year by
Gov. t arter have been planning
for several weeks the October
meetings which will be open to
the public. Some major issues
to be discussed are already
developing.
