ATLANTA (PRN)-- One of
the most widely advertised
tourist spots in the South is
Rock City, atop Lookout
Mountain in northwest
Georgia.
Interestingly. Rock City is
not in Tennessee, but is in the
State of Georgia. It is located
a half-mile south of the
Tennessee line and is
responsible for attracting a
half-million visitors each year
into our state to boost our
travel economy.
Rock City is ‘ a place of
great natural beauty and
historical significance, as well
as an attraction for tourists. It
perches atop Lookout
Mountain where the Battle
Above the Clouds was fought
during the War Between the
States. Its nearest neighbor is
the Chickamauga-Chattanooga
National Military Park, and
from Rock City visitors can
get spectacular views of the
battlefields and the north
Georgia countryside.
The rhododendron and
mountain laurel are in bloom
right now as well as many
other varieties of the more
than 400 different species of
flowers and plants to be found
there.
Crop Report
For June
ATLANTA (PRN) --
Georgia: Temperatures in
Georgia during May were a
little cooler than normal and
rainfall was highly varied.
North Georgia stayed wet a
good portion of the month
while some sections of the
southern part of the State
became very dry. Toward the
end of the month, all areas
had received rains and the
crop outlook had improved
considerably Statewide.
Since June 1, crop
conditions have continued to
improve except in local areas.
The cool nighttime
temperatures have contributed
to cotton seedling disease and
has resulted in some acreage
loss, especially in North
Georgia.
Peaches: Georgia’s 1968
peach forecast on June 1 was
placed at 230 million pounds
or 4,600,000 bushels. The
estimate is considerably above
the short crop last year of
148.8 million pounds or
3,000,000 bushels.

United States Summary
Winter wheat prospects
improved 3 percent during
May as timely showers and
cool weather halted
deterioration in previously
very dry areas of the Central
Great Plains. Winter wheat
output is now estimated at a
record high, 2 percent above
last year and 27 percent above
average. Corn and soybean
planting was ahead of normal
in the Western Corn Belt,
about on schedule in the
Southeast, but lagging the
usual pace in the Eastern Corn
Belt and most Southcentral
States. Hay and pasture
prospects were above both a
year earlier and average.
Production of non-citrus fruits
is expected to be above last
year. Production of 1967-68
citrus, harvest of which is
nearing completion is an
estimated 28 percent less than
last season. Output of spring
vegetables is estimated at 4
percent below 1967 but 3
percent above average. Spring
potato production is expected
to be below last year. May
milk production was 2 percent
less than a year earlier and 7
percent below average. Egg
production in May totaled 1
percent less than a year earlier
but 5 percent above average.
Record Winter Wheat Crop
in Prospect: Production of
winter wheat is estimated at a
record-high 1.2 billion bushels.
This is 3 percent above
prospects of a month earlier, 2
percent more than produced
in 1967, and 27 percent above
average.
Winter wheat prospects
improved during May as cool
weather and timely showers
halted deterioration in the
previously very 7 dry portions
of the Central Great Plains.
The rains came too late for a
considerable acreage in far
western Kansas, southeastern
Colorado, the western
Panhandle of Oklahoma, and
extreme northern High Plains
of Texas. However, prospects
on the acreage remaining for
harvest improved materially.
Elsewhere in the Great Plains,
prospects are generally good.
Cool wet weather delayed
maturity but provided
excellent filling conditions. In
the East and South, prospects
remained good to excellent
despite some lodging and
flood damage. Winter wheat in
Idaho was generally in good
condition. A lack of moisture
continued to plague wheat in
Washington and Oregon. Light
showers the last half of May
provided some relief, but
dryland wheat was under
moderate to severe moisture
stress on the first of June.
Peaches: The peach crop is
forecast at 3,788.8 million
pounds, 41 percent above last
year and 8 percent above
average. Excluding California
Clingstone, mostly a canning
crop, production of 1,948.8
million pounds is forecast, 48
percent more than last season
and slightly more than
average.
In the 9 Southern States,
production is expected to
total 896.3 million pounds, 70
percent more than last year
and 29 percent above average.
Only Mississippi, Arkansas,
and Louisiana expect smaller
crops. Increases are largest in
the Carolinas and Georgia.
North Carolina’s harvest
started in late May on early
varieties. In South Carolina,
harvest of early varieties began
in the upper Coastal Plains and
Ridge areas about mid May,
but volume was light through
June 1. In Georgia, a light
movement has been underway
since the second week of May.
Alabama growers started
picking early varieties about
May 22. In Louisiana, harvest
of early varieties started about
May 17. Volume supplies are
expected the first week of
June. In Oklahoma, harvest is
expected to start early in
June. In Texas, picking of
early varieties began in the hill
country and in northeast
Texas in late May. Harvest will
increase in June with late
varieties furnishing supplies
until August.
Milk Production: May milk
production is estimated at
11,283 million pounds, 2
percent less than a year earlier
and 7 percent below the
196 2-66 average for the
month. Daily average
production for May was up 4
percent from April, compared
with a 3 percent seasonal
increase a year earlier. May is
the peak month in milk
production.
Poultry and Eggs: Egg
production during May totaled
6,068 million eggs, a decrease
of 1 percent from a year
earlier but 5 percent above the
1962-66 May average. The

earlier and the May average of
19.69 eggs.

the West North Central, 2
percent in the North Atlantic,

South Central region. Regional
increases were: East North
Central, 2 percent; South
Atlantic, 3 percent; and the
West, 1 percent.
The number of layers on
June 1 totaled 309.1 million, a
slight decrease from a year
earlier but 6 percent above
average. Numbers by regions
increased 4 percent in both
the South Atlantic and West
and 2 percent in the East
North Central regions. The
sharpest decline was 7 percent
in the West North Central
region. Both the North
Atlantic and South Central
regions had decreases of 1
percent.
The rate of lay on June 1
averaged 62.3 eggs per 100
layers compared with 63.2
eggs for both a year earlier and
average. The rate of lay
declined in all regions except
the East North Central which
had a gain of 1 percent.

1 percent, North Atlantic, 2
percent; and West North
Central and West, each 3

Safety Tips
When Pulling
Your Boat
ATLANTA (PRN) -
Planning to pull your boat to
the lake soon for a good time?
Boating attracts more people
all the time, and provides
them with fun and relaxation.
However, when safety
precautions are ignored,
boating can turn into tragedy.
Here are some tips from the
GEORGIA SAFETY
COUNCIL to help you and
your boat get to the lake all in
one piece.
Remember that your
automobile, with the boat
trailer hitched on it, is a lot
harder to maneuver than the
car alone.
Always start slowly and
apply power gradually when
starting to pull the boat.
If you must pass, remember
that your ability to accelerate
is greatly reduced with the
added weight of the boat and
trailer. Also, you’ll need at
least twice the space to get
back in line.
Allow more stopping
distance; and when making a
right turn, allow more room
for the trailer to clear
Before the trip with your
boat, make sure your car and
the trailer are checked for
safety. Take special care to'
check brakes, tires and lights.
