Gov. Talks About
Football To Hall
Touchdown Club
ATLANTA, (GPS) — Gov.
Lester G. Maddox addressed the
South Hall County Touchdown
Club in Gainesville the other
evening. And, appropriately, he
touched on the subject of foot
ball. In a unique reference to
the game, the governor said:
“We have, in football langu
age, made some great yardage
in highway safety, in programs
for our veterans and our handi
capped workers, and we have
fought and gained foot by foot
in penal reform. I have no hesi
tation in saying that Georgia
has won more ground in penal
reform in the past two years
than she ever gained before in
a quarter of a century.
“But, with the budget into
which Georgia will move on
July 1, the rules of the ball
game have been changed, and
Georgia’s government team
goes up against bigger and
rougher problems than ever
with a ten-yard penalty hang
ing over every play even before
it starts.
“Trying to continue our pres
ent rate of progress as a state
with the present budget is go
ing to be like Vince Dooley be
ing forced to send a seven-man
team out against an eleven
fielded by Bear Bryant of Ala
bama.”
In plugging for his tax revi
sion program, which the 1969
General Assembly rejected,
Gov. Maddox told his audience
he appreciated “the support you
have shown my programs in
the past, and I welcome your
suport in this instance as we
join to forge ahead toward a
brighter day for all Georgians.”

which fell in a six hour period
will only happen once in every
50 years.
Benefits of the Mill Creek

run-off of water. Construction
work has started on 14.9 miles
of channels north of Highway
280 by Romie and Co. of Sa

completed on this particular
construction unit in approxi

A card in your pocket
Is smart, don’t knock it.
Although your employer has
the responsibility for filing re
ports with Internal Revenue to
turn in wages for Social Secur
ity and Income Taxes, you have
a responsibility too. You must
be sure you give your employer
the right name and Social Se
curity number — and the best
way to do this is to carry your
card with you and let him see
it. If your wages are reported
with the wrong number, even if
it is only one number off, or
when the name is different
from that on your card, you
may not get credit for your
work. Even worse, some one
else may get credit for it. And
it’s so easy—if you lose your
card, get a replacement. If you
are using a different name than
that shown on your card —no
matter why—make a report to
Social Security, get the records
changed and get a new card
with the right name. There is
no charge for a new card and
you make the contact by mail
(P. O. Box 8367), phone (232-

Quality Hay
In Demand
Quality hay has always sold
well in Georgia, and at the
present time it is selling at a
premium, according to J. R.
Johnson, head of the Coopera
tive Extension Service Agron
omy Department, University of
Georgia.
Last year, Georgia farmers
harvested 781,000 tons of hay
from 435,000 acres which was
worth about $22,649,000.
Bryan County farmers are
located near a good year-round
consumer market for quality
hay.
The way to make quality hay
from coastal bermuda is to take
a soil test and follow the rec
ommendations for lime and fer
tilizer. Top yields of hay are
produced when 300-400 pounds
of actual nitrogen per acre is
applied in a 4-1-2 ratio: That
is 50-100 pounds of phosphate
and 100-200 pounds of potash
in addition to the nitrogen.
Nitrogen should be used in
split applications, starting
early in spring and again after
each cutting of hay. Coastal
bermuda should be cut every
three to four weeks or when
the grass is 12 to 14 inches
high. Leave hay in the swath
to dry and cure quickly for best
quality. It’s best not to graze
the grass that is used for hay.
Weeds can be controlled by wise
use of herbicides and by main
taining high fertility levels in
the soil.
