Storing Pecans
People all over Georgia are
busy picking up pecans --about
87 million pounds of ’em, in
feet. This year’s crop is the
third largest on record.
Most commercial growers
know what they’ll do with theirs
— they’ll either sell them or
store them. But I’ve had a lot
of calls recently from people
who have one or two trees in
the backyard. They want to
know the best way to keep their
pecans freshandflavorful.Here
are a few tips which I hope
will help.
No doubt about it, lowered
temperatures help maintain pe
can quality longer. And in
shell pecans can be stored long
er than shelled pecans. The
smaller the pecan meat, the
shorter the storage life.
At 32 to 36 degree Fahren
heit, m-sheli pecans can be
stmed successfully for 18
months. At zero degrees F.,
in~shttil pecans can be stored
successfully for six to ten
years, although we doubt anyone
will want to keep their pecans
that long.
Most people like to go ahead
and shell pecans. This cuts
down on storage space and
makes them readily available
when you want to use them.
Shelled pecan halves will re
main fresh up to 12 months if
stored at 32 to 36 degrees F,
Remember, pecans absorb
odors easily — onions, wood,
ammonia, paint, things like that.
So store pecans separately or
with products which produce
no strong odors.
Os course, storage does not
improve quality. At best, proper
storage only maintains what
ever quality is currently there.
Poultry State
Georgia poultry men produced
more than nine times as many
broilers as Georgians ate last
year. And they produced more
than four and one-half times
as many eggs as were con
sumed in Georgia.
In other words, Georgia ex
ports over 90 percent of its
broilers and over 77 percent
of its eggs. But we are a
deficit state when it comes to
turkey; we go outside Georgia
for about 20 percent of the
turkey meat we consume.
Trees And Noise
Everyday people are dis
covering new uses and values
for trees. Now they’ve found
that you can muffle noise with
them. And with the growing
noise pollution problem, people
are becoming more and more
concerned about what they can
do to screen it out.
our Extension foresters say
trees and shrubs may offer
some help along this line. They
cited research which lias shown
that 100 feet of trees can re
duce noise of 60 to 80 decibles
b about ten percent. With plan
ned plantings using the right
by about ten percent. With plan
ned plantings using the right
combination of trees and
shrubs, the efficiency can be
improved even more.

Sign-Up Set
With No Extension
For 1972 Programs
Sign-up period for the 1972
Feed Grain and Cotton Pro
grams will be January 17, thru
February 25, and there will be
no extension, Gene Harris,
Chairman of the Wheeler Co.
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation (ASC)Committee,
announced.
According to Mr. Harris, the
1972 Feed Grain Program is
designed to achieve a feedgrain
set-aside of at least 38 million
acres, compared with 18.2 mil
lion acres this year.
With new options presented
to farmers for 1972, the Secre
tary of Agriculture must have
set-aside commitments by Feb.
25, to enable him to determine
whether to accept former offers
of optional set aside if signup
is short of the desired 38 mil
lion acres.
To do this, he said, it is
imperative that we have an
early sign-up. Farmers have
from now until Jan. 17, to
make their plans and to signup
within the alloted period.
Mr. Harris indicated It is
necessary to set-aside at least
38 million acres this coming
year to help offset the record
com production of 1971. Also,
he said, the basic goals of the
1972 Feed Grain Program are
to give farmers more oppor
tunity for decision making on
their farms, and to protect
and improve their incomes.
“The 1972 Feed Grain Pro
gram will reduce carryover
stocks, help keep our agri
cultural production in line with
anticipated needs, and will en
courage farmers to put greater
reliance on the marketplace
as the principal source Os farm
income,” he said.

Lt. Gov. Maddox Says Hein And Old
Breed Os Soolhern Governors fllike
The so-called “new breed”
of Southern governors is nothing
more than a “new crop of the
same old breed,” declai-ed Lt.
Gov. Lester G. Maddox in a
speech at the Sweet Potato Fes
tival in Ocilla.
Maddox accused “some of
the big-city, ultraliberal news
media magnates” of “getting
richer every day by feeding
the people a bunch of twisted
propaganda and outright lies
in their monopoly' newspapers
and through their dominant
radio and television stations.”
“It worries me,” he said,
“because if the people aren’t

other promotion, Pipkin said.
“It is designed to help church
leaders stay with the job of
outreach with variety and con
tinuity,” according to Pipkin.
L. J. Newton from the Baptist
Sunday School Board, Nash
ville, Tenn., will be a
conference leader.
Other program leaders in

Wheeler Students Visit Nuclear Plant
Under the direction of their instructors, Mrs. Fran Jarrard and Ralph Hardy, the biology and
chemistry classes of Wheeler County High School visited the Edwin 1. Hatch Nuclear Plant near
Baxley.
The seventy-six students assembled first in the Nuclear Theater where they saw a film on the
Altamaha River, its history and its relationship to the plant. From the theater the students were
conducted through an area of animated, self-operated exhibits on the history of electricity, nuclear
power, and the generation of electricity.
Through a large picture window and closed-circuit television, the students could view the actual
construction of the nuclear plant.
Other attractions included a working model of the plant, the fission room, and the environment
theater.

“You take, fox- example, all

“Well, let me tell you, my

All we’ve got is a new crop of

national news media, for a

nomination and for a host of
other selfish goals since the
South first started liaving
