FARMERS & CONSUMERS Tommy /rvin, Commissioner Georgia Department of Agriculture Market Bulletin Volume 58 Ernie Morgan A New Dimension For Cattlemen Beef Carcass Data Service is going nationwide after a successful pilot study. The new service is a joint USDA-beef and cattle industry cooperative effort to help cattle producers and feeders obtain an in- sight and a new dimension on the important value determining charac- teristics of the carcasses their cattle produce. Collection of the carcass data will be carried out by the Livestock Divi- sion of the USDA's Agricu- ltural Market- ing Service in response to nu- merous re- I quests. The new I service - Beef Carcass Data Service - will be easy to use and readily available to the livestock and meat industry. How does it work? Specially designed eartags used for official (Our guest columnist this week is Ernie Morgan, in Charge, Market News Branch Georgia, Livestock Division, P. O. Box 86, 220 Federal Building, Thomasville 31792.) identification in this program can be purchased from a cooperating source. The Georgia Cattleman's Association at Macon will be one source beginning in January 1973. Producers and feeders will apply these BRIGHT ORANGE, shield- shaped, serially numbered eartags to those cattle on which they want to obtain carcass information. When the tagged animals are slaughtered in plants served by USDA meat graders, the grader evaluates the quality and yield grade factors from these carcasses on an official Beef Carcass Data form. The form is forwarded to the AMS Carcass Data Center in Washington. The Center will process the form and will forward it back to the issuing association, which in turn, gets it back to the producer who bought the tag. Beef carcass data eartags are available to producers for 50 cents each. A fee of $1.50 is charged for each completed form. Thus, for $2.00 breeders and commercial cattlemen can obtain value-determining characteristics of their cattle. Purchasing an eartag does not guarantee that carcass data will be received. Eartags may be lost or removed during the production, feeding and marketing process. If this should happen, identity is lost and data cannot be collected. However, the minimal cost of eartags plus the fact that the charge for this service is not made until the com- pleted data form is received makes the financial risk of losing eartags negligible. Feedlot operators will receive the (Continued page 8) Wednesday, December 27, 1972 Number 52 U.G. Ag Alumni Announces Meetings Go.

S. Jaycees, will take place March 18-21 in St. Paul Minnesota. Farmers attending the awards congress are those judged the most outstanding from each state, on the basis of agricultural productivity and innovation, and contributions to the community. Any fanner between the ages of 18 and 35 is eligible for the state and national awards. To be eligible, he must be an actual farm operator and derive at least two-thirds of his income from farming. He need not be a Jaycee. For entry information check with your local Jaycee chapter.

THE PINE beetle destroys the Cambium layer, the most important layer where cell division and growth of the pine tree takes place. clean-up of infested areas. Federal ownerships, namely National Forests, are currently carrying out plans to mop up all infestations on their lands. Most industrial forest land is being treated similarly. But this omits the major portion of Georgia's forests. Farmers and private, non- industrial owners have the remaining 70 or more percent. Many of these owners are waiting on some "govern- ment" program to handle this problem for them. At present, there is no such program and none is plan- ned. It's plain to see where the burden lies, so farmers, let's roll up our sleeves and get the job done! Trees attacked by southern pine beetles late last summer or fall may still be harboring the tiny tree killers. They are relatively inactive during winter, but many will survive winter to continue the infestation next spring. Straight Line Winter is the best time to remove all infested trees. These trees should be immediately utilized for sawtimber or pulpwood, if there is a market. Piling and burning all in- Please tell me if pecan leaves can be saved until next year and used as mulch. M. Y., Fort Valley fested trees is the next alternative. All bark on the trunk and bran- ches should be thoroughly burned. Pecan leaves prove to be an exceptable mulch, though caution must be exercised in not layering too heavily. Packed down leaves will prevent water from penetrating down to nourish the tree. **** Would you please identify these beans. They have blooms like other beans but are dark red in color. Are they edible? Mrs. H. J., Woodstock Our seed analyst, Elmo Winstead, says that the bean appears to be the Scarlet Runner bean (PHASEOLUS coccineus). This bean is generally grown for ornamental purposes but it is not considered poisonous if you desire to eat it. **** Can you advise how and when to plant avocado seed? R. O., Americus Avocado seed should be planted as soon as you have used the fruit. Plant in a clay pot filled with 1/3 top soil, 1/3 peat moss and 1/3 sand. Lay seed on its side -just barely cover and water thoroughly. Keep in a warm room with a bright window. Keep close check on soil moisture. Seedling should emerge in 6 to 8 weeks. **** I am eleven years old and am always finding praying mantis egg clusters. Will state laws allow me to sell these egg clusters by mail to Georgia residents? H. M., Marietta There are no restrictions on selling praying mantis in Georgia. Southern Pine Beetle If neither of these is possible or practical, there is a last resort. The cut trees, including all branches, may be sprayed with Lindane or BHC and No. 2 fuel oil. Follow the directions on the container to obtain an 0.5 percent spray. Normally, this will be one part Lindane to 39 parts of No. 2 fuel oil or one part BHC concentrate to 28 parts of fuel oil. Pesticides used improperly can be injurious to man, animals, and plants; so be sure to follow directions and heed the precautions on (Continued page 7) (Continued page 8) Page 2 We Get Letters Dear Editor: If you have space in your paper could you advise your patrons to always list postage or approximate required for their products.

Straight Line I noticed in your December 6 issue of the Market Bulletin that some counties were quarantined because of Japanese Beetles. I noticed that my county, Habersham County, was not in this. Habersham County, if I am not mistaken is one of the heaviest infected with the beetle of any county in Georgia. On my farm, there is hardly any fruit or vegetable that can be harvested without heavy and regular spraying of Sevin and I wonder if this isn't a health hazard. We have so much money wasted on different government projects that I wonder why we can't get some help on this from the government. I believe if our Commissioner of Agriculture would give it a try, we might get some results. l(, D Clarkesville The list you saw was a list of new counties infested with Japanese Beetles. This did not include counties such as Habersham that have been found previously. There is considerable research being done on Japanese Beetles. At the present, Sevin is the only safe material for their control and it does only a temporary job. The problem is a major one as we are concerned with millions of acres in the Eastern United States. We certainly would have been glad to have taken this matter up with you personally but you failed to include your name and address. "Straight Line" receives such a large volume of mail it is impossible to print every letter received. However, we answer all inquiries that have a name and address with a letter, telephone call, or personal visit. So PLEASE include your name and address. If you do not want your letter printed, just tell us. **** I have a large quantity of old white painted fence palings which I would like to burn in my fireplace. Would these ashes be safe to spread in my small vegetable garden? J. B., Roswell The Department of Agriculture chemist, Harry Johnson, advises against using these ashes in your garden, as they could contain an appreciable amount of lead. Lead is now being restricted in its use in paint, but old paint, especially white, probably contains lead sulfate as an ingredient. Excessive lead in soil can cause trouble to plants in that the phosphates may be made unavailable and therefore restrict plant growth. Also, vegetables and other plants can take up lead from the soil and be passed on to humans. Even though the amount may be small, it will accumulate in the body and many years from now may reach toxic level. We suggest that you dump the ashes where they will do no harm. Page 8 3i (Juniperus virginiana L.) What is green, with bluish cones, a delicious aroma and native to Georgia -- Redcedar! Georgia, however, can not claim it entirely. Redcedar is native to approximately 36 states from Southern Maine to Northern Florida and as far West as Nebraska. It is the most widely distributed conifer of tree size in the Eastern half of the United States. Actually, Redcedar is not really a cedar but a juniper and is known as red juniper, or savin in other parts of the country. The conifer is a medium size tree and the average height is about 40 feet. Obviously Redcedar grows under a number of climatic conditons from subfreezing weather to humid heat. It also grows on a variety of soils ranging from dry rock to swamp. In cedar plantations where the tree is cultivated extensively for its wood, the soil is rich not only in nutrients but earthworm activity far surpasses that found under pine plantations. The soft, light and fragrant wood of the redcedar is durable and used extensively in the manufacture of moth-proof chests, lead pencils pails and furniture. The oil of cedar is used in polishes, medicines and perfumes and is distilled from the leaves and wood. Its use in moth-proof chests results from its immunity to insect damage. There are few insects which can hurt this tree. Oc casionally boring insects will damage the foliage but the tree it self is usually safe. This tree is also a hard-hit casualty of forest fires. It has thin bark and the roots are very near the surface of the ground. Con sequently even a campfire built too close to a redcedar can cause per manent damage.

THE MARKET BULLETIN Georgia County Agents Elect New Officers The new president of the Georgia Association of County Agricultural Agents is Kenneth Chambers, second from right, of Cleveland, being congratulated here by outgoing President William Branncn, Sylvania. Bobby Locke, left, Dawson, the new vice president, and Clarence Benton, LaFayette, re-elected secretary-treasurer, look on. GACAA has reorganized to conform to new administrative and district lines of the University of Georgia Extension Service. Directors include: Carl Brack, Carrollton, and Billy Dick, Ft. Valley, for the Central District; Maxwell Smith,.Glennville, and Hinton Harris, Savannah, for the East District; Charles Tucker, Jonesboro, for the Metro District; Elliott Ellis, Madison, and H. O. Cole, Chatsworth, for the North District, and C. D. Spivey and Norman McGlohon, Athens, for the state Extension staff. Don Massey, Athens, not only likes chicken; he knows it, too. First place winner in this year's national 4-H poultry judging con- test in Chicago, he is fed a drum- stick by Carol Shaw of Colquitt, Georgia's Poultry Princess. Don and his teammates Tina Weatherford and Stephanie Noles of Athens and Mickey Milliard of Bowersville won third place in the contest, behind Oklahoma and Nebraska. Don, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Massey, and president last year of the Slate 4-H Council, is the first Georgian ever to win national poultry judging honors. And no Georgia team has ever placed as high as third before. John Callaway, assistant Clarke County agent, University of Georgia Ex- tension Service, is the team's coach.

A New Dimension (Continued from page 1) report in a short period of time after the sale of the animal. However, feeder calf producers may not receive the data for several months afterwards since most cattle are slaughtered at 16 to 24 months of age. Complete data forms will provide owners with: 1. Conformation grade 2. Maturity 3. Degree of marbling 4. Quality grade 5. Fat thickness (tenths of an inch) 6. Ribeye area (square inches) 7. Kidney, pelvic, and heart fat (%) 8. Hot carcass weight 9. Yield grade The detailed carcass data obtained through this program can provide important guidelines for Georgia cattlemen in the production of high quality, meat-type cattle.

Regardless of the alternative selected, it is essential that a thorough clean-up and treatment of all branches and loose bark be carried out. The additional removal of a buffer strip 40 to 70 feet wide around infested trees is recommended by the U. S. Forest Service. This would eliminate nearby trees which may have been attacked, but the beetles' presence had been undetected. Consider this added insurance. In some cases, it may add enough merchantable volume so that a commercial sale may be made. You can never be too sure the clean-up was completely successful. It's recommended that all treated areas be re-examined at two- to three- week intervals. If any additional trees show signs of insect attack, treat them as quickly as possible. The exact reasons why we have periodic build-up of bark beetles are not known; however, it is known that certain stand conditions encourage attacks. Slow growing trees or those with low vigor are attacked first.

Often "the straw that breaks the camel's back" is a tree struck by lightning, blown over by wind, broken by ice, or just accidentally skinned. From ' there, the attack spreads to nearby low vigor trees. Once the bark beetle population has built up, even young thrifty trees can fall prey. With this in mind, a thinning of overstocked stands would reduce the possibility of attack. Older, mature stands should be clear-cut and restocked with young vigorous trees. Yes, it will take some effort and possibly some expense to curb the southern pine beetle advances, but each farmer and our state's economy will all benefit in the long run. Now is the time to start, if an effective restraint is to be accomplished.
