FARMERS & CONSUMERS Georgia Department of Agriculture Tommy Irvin, Commissioner IVI3 rl\6T DUMwUH VOLUME 57 Ray ShifJey Wednesday, January 6, 1971 NUMBER 1 Forestry Serving The Landowner The primary objective of the professional forester is to assist the landowner in improving the yield and quality of his forest. In turn, this will provide the landowner the basis on which he can realize the maximum development and utilization of timber, soil, water and recreation in meeting his needs. The programs of the Georgia Forestry Commission are based on assistance to the private landowner. This assistance is provided by foresters who will make an inthe-woods inspection and an analysis of the owner^s timber and recommendations concerning any of his forest problems. To further assist him, the Forestry Commission will prepare and provide him with a detailed plan for his forest for growing the greatest amount of wood on a sustained basis. Due to the large demand, forest management assistance is limited to (Our guest columnist this week is Ray Shirley, director of the Georgia Forestry Commission, Box 819, Macon, Ga.) four days service for each landowner per fiscal year. Major emphasis is placed on technical assistance to farm and other woodland owners and various conservation interests. This assistance includes the areas of reforestation, prescribed fire, forest management plans, site preparation, marking timber for thinning and harvesting of trees, utilization, timber stand improvement, insect and disease control, forest resource studies and other services to landowners, industry and various groups interested in forest resources. Planting advice is available on what species to plant, seedling care, how to plant and spacing. An effort to further increase the productivity of Georgia's woodlands is made through the Forestry Commission's weed tree control program. In this program cull species are killed to release commercial timber and for reforestation purposes. Utilization personnel are available to assist forest product plants in analyzing procurement, manufacturing and marketing procedures. A year round insect and disease detection network protects woodland owners from widespread epidemics. Through a metro forestry program, urbanites are receiving increased services. The requests involve homeowners wanting shade tree information relating to insects and disease, pruning, fertilization, damages caused by mechanical equipment earth fills and others. A forest education program for tree (Continued on page 8) State Meat Inspector Charles Bolton examines the carcasses in a small meat packing plant in Henry County.

Ga.'s Meat Inspection Program Receives Federal Certification Ag Commissions Commissioner of Agriculture Tommy Irvin announced last week that the red meat inspection program of the State Department of Agriculture has been certifiedby the U. S. Department of Agriculture as being equal to federal meat Hold Referendums inspection. Georgia is one of the first 15 states in the nation to receive this cer- As required by law, the eight Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commissions presently in existance in Georgia must be reballoted by the effected producers prior to April 30, 1971. All commissions have set referendum periods for the reballoting as follows: Peanuts - Jan. 14 thru Feb. 12 Tobacco - Jan. 14 thru Feb. 12 Milk - Jan. 25 thru Feb. 23 Peach - Feb. 15 thru Mar. 16 Sweet Potatoes - Feb. 18 thru Mar. 19 Apples - Mar. 1 thru Mar. 30 Cotton - Mar. 1 thru Mar. 30 The egg referendum period was set for November 16 thru December 15, 1970, and has already been completed and tabulated. The results indicate that the egg producers in Georgia overwhelmingly support the continuation of the Georgia ACC for Eggs for the purpose of promotion, education and research of their commodity with 84% voting in favor of continuing the Marketing Order for eggs. Ballots will be mailed to each producer of the remaining commodities to be marked and returned during the set period. If you are a producer of one of the effected commodities and do not receive a ballot during the first few days of the referendum period, contact the Commodities Promotion Office, Room 324, Agricultural Building, Atlanta, Ga. 30334 and you will be furnished a ballot. The Georgia farmer has in the various commodity commissions, Cotton Program By Ross Bowen State ASC Committee Chairman To participate in the Upland Cotton Set-Aside Program, earn a payment and become eligible for a CCC loan on the entire 1971 cotton production, a producer must sign up and set aside an acreage of cropland from crop production equal to a specified percentage of the base acreage allotment. (The exact percent will be announced later, but it will not be more than 20 percent.) In addition, the conserving base established for the farm must be maintained. Such land must be cropland meeting requirements acceptable to the county committee and no crop can be harvested from such acreage. The set-aside acreage must be put into conserving use. The balance of the cropland acreage can be devoted to upland cotton, wheat, corn or any other crop desired (except that acreage of tobacco, peanuts and extra long staple cotton are limited under those respective programs). Cotton must be planted in order to earn a price support payment. If less than 90 percent of the base acreage allotment is planted, the base acreage allotment for 1972 and subsequent years will be reduced, except if the underplanting is due to drought, flood, or other natural disaster. Wheat and feed grains planted on cotton allot- tification. The certification means that all red meat slaughtering and processing for intra-state sale and consumption is officially inspected by highly trained representatives of the department to insure quality and wholesomeness. To earn certification, Georgia had to have laws, regulations, financing, staffing, and on site inspection ^services equal to -or better than those carried out by federal inspectors in meat plants shipping products across state lines. The state has been working on the development of its meat inspection program since 1967. The program now has 125 trained inspectors and 46 veterinarians around the state to inspect the 210 regular meat plants and the 59 exempt plants. These inspectors and veterinarians condemn meat of questionable, quality primarily due to livestock diseases or because of age or unsanitary quality. State inspectors are trained in federal meat inspection schools in Texas and Nebraska before assuming duties in Georgia meat slaughtering and processing plants. ' State inspectors are now inspecting the slaughter and processing of about a million animals a year, all of which are consumed within the state. The Georgia meat Inspection program provides protection at the farm, in the processing plant, on the consumer's table, and in the consumer's pocketbook. programs in which he may be proud. The commissions are entirely producer supported and controlled and the assessments collected are directed into those areas which the producers themselves feel will be most beneficial. ment will be counted as cotton for allotment retention purposes. Small cotton producers having allotments of 10 acres or less or expected production of 5,000 pounds or less and meeting other eligibility (Continued on page 8) BEFORE MIXING A word of caution to anyone considering mixing two or more spray materials in order to increase the range of pest control. Make sure th& different chemicals are compatible first. 3age 2 We Get Letters Dear Editor: I enjoy the MARKET BULLETIN and since you have been answering questions on plants, flowers, insects, etc., I find it most interesting. Several years ago someone gave me about 12 or 15 sweet potato plants. They had a purple bloom on them, some blooms single and others in a bunch. I have not been able to find out the name of this sweet potato and cannot find anyone who has ever seen or heard of such. The potato was a real sweet one, quite meaty with no stringy parts and made wonderful potato pies. Can you help me? Mrs. A. P. Sheppard 1640 Williamson Road Griffin, Ga. 30223 (Editor's note: Our Entomology Division advises that all sweet potato plants have purple blooms that vary from single to bunch. Weather conditions will effect the blooms on these plants. We suggest that you contact Dr. Hugh Dempsey, Horticulturist with the Experiment Station in Griffin, Ga. and perhaps he will be able to tell you the variety of sweet potatoes you liked so much.) Dear Editor: I wonder if any of your readers would know where I could get a copy of the book MEMOIRS OF GEORGIA, which is supposedly about the life of "Rich Billy Walker". This man was given some land in Georgia by the King of England and the way I can "count back", he was my great, great grandfather. I would very much like to have a copy of this book and I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who might tell me where one might be procured. Mrs. B. B.

HONEY TIPS Honey can replace sugar in a recipe by reducing the amount of liquid 1/4 cup for each cup honey used to replace sugar. Cakes and cookies made with honey are noted for their keeping qualities. Honey absorbs and retains moisture thus retarding the drying out and staling of baked goods. This is of great importance to the homemaker who does her baking in advance. The food value and the flavor of honey is also valuable to the baker.

Page 8 What, 91 Sensitive or humble plant -Mimosa pudica, is a member of an immense genus of mostly tropical American herbs, shrubs, and trees of the Pea Family. This variety, Mimosa pudica, is one of the few cultivated here and grown as an annual in flower gardens -easily grown from seed. Being extremely sensitive to the touch, this plant folds up and stays folded for several minutes. You can do this over and over again. Mimosa is from the Greek for mimic, in allusion to the collapse of the leaves of this sensitive plant. On the slightest irritation all the leaflets im mediately fold up face to face and the whole leaf collapses -- if the shock is sufficient all the leaves will do likewise. Much nonsense has been written about the "nerves" of this plant, but the fact remains that its reaction to shock (or cloudy weather) is one of the most remarkable cases of physiological response known in the plant world. Although its chief interest lies in its sensitive leaves, it has round lavender colored flower heads that are very pretty and it makes an excellent plant to be grown under glass. All species of mimosa thrive with the same kind of feeding, watering, etc., as acacias do. Forestry Serves (Continued from page 1) owners, youth groups, civic organizations, garden and women's clubs on all phases of conservation is provided. Other assistance involves state and state-federal programs. The forestry phase of the following agencies' programs are serviced by the Forestry Commission. They are ASCS, ACP, Farmer's Home Administration, Small Watershed, Resource Conservation and Development, Naval Stores Conservation, State owned property and the Georgia Crop Improvement Association's Certified Pine Seed Program. The Soil Conservation Districts are assisted with their forestry plans and programs. The Waycross State Forest, 35,789 acres, is managed for demonstrating the Ijest silvicultural methods for forest product production. Here, the most modern practices and techniques are used. The forest also provides for research, training and recreation. During the past ten years, Forestry Commission and industry personnel have done an outstanding job of holding the average size wildfire to 5.48 acres per fire. This record is even more amazing when you consider that the national average .was 19.23 acres per fire and the average for the 13 southern States, from Virginia to Texas, was 17.59 acres for the same period. The forest fire detection system is based on a network of forest fire lookout towers. Through systematic location, statewide coverage is obtained. The tower detection system is supplemented by the use of light, single engine patrol aircraft. This provides for the positive identification of smokes which prevents the costly use of men and equipment in checking THE MARKET BULLETIN (Straight Line I gathered some chestnuts this fall, the largest I have ever seen, and we have eaten most of them. However, we saved a few for later use and I would like to know if they can be planted. If so, how deep and when? Can they be planted inside and transplanted later? S.H.T., Ringgold Chestnuts can be planted in a pot and later transplanted to the outside. When planting outside, plant 2 to 3 inch* e*s*deep in the spring. Could you tell me the name of the plant leaf enclosed? I found it growing between 2 rocks near a creek and have never seen one like it. I have it growing in a pot in my house and it is a beautiful house plant. Mrs. C.E.L., Douglasville We would love to identify your plant but you forgot to enclose it. However, if you will write us again and send a sample of the plant, we will be happy to tell you what it is. *** What can I do to get Northern Fowl mites off of my hens? I want something that will not affect the eggs. W.L.P., Bowdon We have mailed you a pamphlet on the control of poultry pest including Northern Fowl mites. Your hens should be free of this pest and back on the job by now. *** Please send me a spider pamphlet and a remedy for the "black bugs" that come in after a rain. Miss C. F., Hampton We mailed your spider pamphlet. Our Entomology division advises the use of Diazinon or Chlordane for control of the ' 'black bugs." *** I ordered 3 English walnut trees from a seed and plant company. Two of them died and the other one doesn't look so good. I watered them in dry weather and fertilized all three. Can English walnut trees grow here and how do I go about it? D.L.M., Lavonia English walnut trees are not recommended for this area. However, Carpathain, a strain of the English walnut, is especially recommended for this area and is able to withstand cold w*e*a*ther. I have Chinese artichoke in my orchard that I would like to get rid of. Do you know of any chemical or anything that will kill it? W.E.R., Wayerqss 2, 4-D or any brush killer will get rid of it and is safe for use in your orchard this time of year. *** Is it safe to store pecans in their shells in the freezer at 0 degrees? Will it damage the quality of the nuts? If it is safe, how long will the nuts stay in good condition?

To further enhance their forest protection services, the Forestry Commission, in cooperation with county and local governments, has developed a rural fire defense program. It is under the provisions of the Georgia Operational Survival Plan. Through this program, communities unprotected by organized fire departments, have an opportunity to provide an initial fire suppression service. Established fire departments can reinforce present equipment which will enable them to increase their rural services. The Forestry Commission's Tree Improvement Program was initiated in 1954 with the first improved or "super" tree seedlings being made available to the general public in 1964. This year, 1970, the Commission is producing certified superior or "super" trees. Tests, conducted by the U, S. Forest Service, indicate an average growth increase of 20 percent in yield per year and 10 percent in height growth compared to regular tree seedlings on the same area. A new program of the Forestry Commission's that is being initiated calls for comprehensive planning and long range programs to meet the projected needs. .Wednesday, January 6, 1971 Agricultural Calendar Meetings Jan. 7 - Swine Short Course, Tifton.
