When To Dig Peanuts
When to dig peanuts will
soon be an item of much inter
est to Bryan County peanut
producers. The time of digging
greatly influences peanut
yields.
Each peanut field must be
considered on an individual
basis, because of different cir
cumstances, Peanuts dusted or
sprayed for leafspot control at
recommended intervals through
out the growing season usually
can be dug ten to fourteen days
later than peanuts severely in
fected by leafspot.
A useful guide is to pick off
all pods from several plants
that have been collected from
different areas in the field.
Break pods open to determine
the percentage turning dark
and observe kernel skin color
where time condition will al
low and sprouting is not exces
sive, delay digging until ap
proximately 2/3 (2 out of 3) of
the kernels are a deep pink col
or in Virginia type peanuts, It
is also advisable to check fre
quently the condition of pod
stems as maturity approaches.
If examination shows a weak
ening condition of pod stem,
Virginia type peanuts should be
harvested soon, regardless of
percentage showing pink color.

eligible voters fail to receive a

the need almost faster than we
can keep up.”
The senator was principal
speaker at the dedication of the
new $4-million addition to the
South Fulton Hospital in East
Point, which will provide an
additional 228 beds at the Tri-
City facility.
Sen. Talmadge, who dedicat
ed the original hospital in 1963,
said he had a ‘“vested interest”
in South Fulton Hospital.
“In the past six years, I have
watched it grow into one of the
most important medical facili
ties in the entire metropolitan
Atlanta-Fulton County area,”
he declared in praising the Tri
City Hospital Authority and
the civic and business support
“that made this dream of a
decade ago a reality.”
Since the advent of the Hill-
Burton Act and the hospital
building program in Georgia—
begun during the Talmadge ad
ministration as governor—some
$220-million have been s pent
for hospital construction in the
state, including 98 new hospit

| Reports To Thé People
ATLANTA (PRN) — In
America at present there are
more than 100 million people
who drink aleoholic beverages
and there are over 3 million
heavy, constant drinkers,. and
over 750,000 aleoholies.
Billions of dollars are spent
each year on alcohol in the
United States alone, more
Yhan 8§ Sel ek
spent by
Americans
for their
own health
and medical
care.
Day by
day, week
by week,
and year by
Vear the
consumption of liquor
threatens to eat away the
luster of our gleaming past,
and corrode the brightness of
our future. The creeping
* paralysis <of alcoholism is
sapping our morals, destroying
self-respect and respect for
others, is ruining our homes,
causing deliquency and
contributing to crime in this
country.
In America in the 20th
century more alcoholic
beverages are consumed per
capita in Washington, D.C.
than in any other city.
The “Skid Rows” of our
nation are composed of many
former “men of distinction,”
doomed to become “men of
extinetion.”
The cost can be measured,
not only in the billions we
spend annually for drink, but
in tragic consequences felt by
our whole society.
- Alcoholism is a chronic and
progressive disease of
psychological, and physical
origin, characterized by the
morbid addiction to alcohol,
and often leading to mental
illness and death.
Aleoholism attacks persons
from all walks of life, whose
personality and metabolism
make them peculiarly
- ‘ng-‘*"'«i the disease.
m)el ':‘an' become an
alcoholic at any age. The
_alcobolic is made by the first
" drink, and not the last.
Through the department of
Public Health we have
launched a program to develop
a longrange program for
alcoholism and other drug
addiction. This development

For US. Textiles
Needed-Herman
ATLANTA, (GPS) — U, 8.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, in a
Georgia speech, compared the
nation’s textile trade policies
with “a four-lane super-high
way leading into the United
States” and “a narrow, winding
country road leading practical
ly nowhere for our goods.”
He particularly singled out
as the worst offender Japan,
which he accused of flooding
the American market with low
wage textiles while erecting
barriers apainst products from
the United States and other
countries,
Addressing an institutional
business seminar in Atlanta,
sponsored by Courts and Com
pany, Sen, Talmadge pointed
out that the nation’s textile in
dustry—Georgia’s top employer
—has suffered a trade deficit
every vear since 1957, including
a sl-billion loss last year,
He also noted that textile im
ports accounted for about one
third of the country’s entire
balance of payments deficit in
1968, Sen. Talmadge laid a large
part of the blame on Japanese
trade restrictions,
“Japan has become the sec
ond largest industrial nation in_
the free world, but it shows lit
tle or no inclination to take on
the responsibilities which go
with its position in the family
of nations,” he declared, adding
that “Japan, ‘which benefitted
50 much from our policy of aid
ing less developed countries, is
not willing to share its great
wealth with’ countries which to
day arve still underdeveloped.”
Denouncing Japanese recal
citrance on liberalizing its tex
tile trade policies, the Georgia
senator asserted: by
Sen. Talmadge said Georgia
textile mills provide some 114,
000 jobs with 68,000 in the re
lated apparel industry, and na
tionally almost a million peo
ple ave employed by mills in 42
education and training, giving
technical and financial
assistance to local
communities, coordinating
services, stimulating research
and providing care for patients
in need of intermediate and
long-term hospitalization.
This state-wide program is
under the direction of Dr,
Addison Duval, and promises
to be a major breakthrough in
this field.
Just as we in Georgia are
trying to assist its vietims in
winning the victory over
alcoholism, we are seeking to
put new life and new purpose
into State government in
Georgia.
We have diligently worked
to bring about a cure for the
disease of waste and
inefficiency in government
and we are seeing our state
begin to walk straight and
stoutly down the road of
improved health and clearer
vision with our application of
the therapy of honesty,
efficiency and morality in all
areas.
Together ‘we must find a
cure for the growth of
socialism and communism
which threatens the soul of
America.
We must discover a remedy
for those who are addicled to
welfare--those who can, but
will ‘not work, and who have
become dependent upon
dollars from Washington
rather than upon God and
their own initiative.
I believe that cure and that
remedy can be found in the
old fashioned wonder drug of
patriotism, constitutional
government and the “old time
religion.”
This old time remedy is a
prescription which will restore
states’ rights. private property
rights, local control of
education, law enforcement
and local government, and will
bring back law and order to
America.
.. To. puk;America back on
.the road to reécovery.and save
her from her ills, we must have
volunteer workers ---
Americans from all walks of
life who love their liberty and
are ready to guard and defend
it.
With this mighty army of
patriotic medics we shall be
successful, and future
generations will crown our
efforts with praise and
gratitude.
