FARMERS & CONSUMERS Tommy /rv/n, Commissioner Georgia Department of Agriculture Market Bulletin m Volume 63 Ga. Nurserymen Aid Environment The nursery industry has always been considered a part of agriculture, and its product an agricultural commodity. The first Secretary of Agriculture, Norman Jay Coleman, was appointed to that office following his second term as president of the American Association of Nurserymen. Since that time, Secretaries of Agriculture have reaffirmed the important role of the nursery industry and its products to the agricultural industry. It is not unusual for people not familiar with the nursery industry to consider it non-agricultural, and its (Our guest columnist this week is Donald E. McCorkle, President, Georgia Nurserymen's Assn., Inc., 1757 Gordon Hwy., Augusta, Ga. 30904.)___________ products of no particular value to the welfare of the nation. Nothing could be further from the truth. The nursery industry's products account for a wide range of foods, such as all fruit crops. The nursery industry also propagates and sells to farmers as it does to the general public, such food-bearing plants and trees as grapes, strawberries, fruit and nut trees, shelterbelt plantings, and erosion-control shrubs of all kin- ds. Home vegetable gardening is possible only if the consumer purchases seed or small vegetable plants, all of which are products of our industry. Nursery products not used in the production of food are, nonetheless, vital products to the landscaping of homes, businesses, public parks, buildings and highways. Their importance extends far beyond beauty alone, for plant materials are crucial to the preservation of environmental quality and its improvement. The nursery industry has always had its place as an important part of the agricultural community.

Trees Require Watering To Survive Summer Heat Our trees are dying because of the drought. Foliage is wilting, leaves are showing marginal burn and unusual foliage coloration is beginning to show more than two months premature. Generally trees can go through a Fall Army Worms /Iff*))/ |A//|f|tlC Ml Illy Ww I/I I/I W summer with no water in addition to rainfall. This summer is proving to De an exception. Large old trees as * well as younger ones are showing Found In Georgia definite symptoms of drought stress. The first trees to show this drought stress are those planted in poor locations. Trees that have a lot It is the season for Fall Army Worms and scattered outbreaks have been reported in various sections of the state. The worms feed on many crops including corn and all grasses. When abundant, they eat all the food on hand and then crawl in armies into adjoining fields, pastures or gardens. The adult army worm may vary in color from tan or green to almost black and have stripes down the back from head to tail. Watch should be kept of grassy fields for the appearance of the young worms. If an infestation is observed, Sevin, applied according to label directions, will control the of foot or vehicle traffic under their canopy are among the first to be affected. This traffic increases soil compaction and reduces water penetration. Under normal weather conditions the decline of these trees is so gradual as to almost go unnoticed until the tree is practically dead. Lack of adequate soil moisture this summer has hastened the decline of these trees. Around such trees it may be necessary to scratch the soil surface in an effort to break up this hard crust. Where severe compaction has occurred from extended periods of traffic, this procedure may be inadequate and more drastic action pest and curtail damage.

Pages 9 When Columbus first saw pineapples in 1493, he observed them growing near the doorways of native West Indian huts. In the islands this symbolized that strangers were welcome. The Spanish who came to the islands took the custom of pineapples as signs of hospitality back to Spain. From there the custom passed on to England and the English colonists who settled in America built their houses with carved pineapples over the doorways and on the gateposts. The English called the fruit pine apple because it looked like a pine cone. In Spain it was known as pina which meant the same thing. Transporting pineapple to Europe was one of the most arduous tasks explorers undertook. Out of the first shipment, only one pineapple was unspoiled, but this one pineapple was enough to set European gardeners to experimentation under glass in many cases. Pineapples were introduced to the Hawaiian islands in the late 1 700's by a Spanish adventurer. For the next 100 years, pineapples were regarded as weeds but in 1880 an English horticulturist developed methods to grow pineapples commercially and the pineapple industry was born. Pineapples are hardy perennial. They are native to northern South America and grow about knee-high. The grayish stiff leaves are about three feet in length and have spiny tips and prickly edges. They bear lavender blue flowers and belong to the Bromeliad family. House plants can be started by planting the "crown" and giving it full sun and lots of water. Paintin' and Pumpkin Show The 14th annual Paintin' and Pumpkin Arts and Crafts Festival will be held at the Atlanta State Farmer's Market in Forest Park on October 1 and 2.

In addition to the foodstuffs that the industry produces, it is also well recognized that the landscape plant materials produced by the nursery industry have enormous impact. The people of the United States are more environmentally oriented now than at any other time in our nation's history. America's people from youths to senior citizens have attained far greater awareness of the impact of plant materials on our land than ever before. The Georgia Nurserymen's Association is a professional organization of horticulture and landscaping specialists who combine their individual skills, talents and experience to improve, beautify and preserve our environment. THE MARKET BULLETIN Energy Savings Possible For Poultry - Egg Industry The poultry and egg industry claim a pretty good track record when it comes to conserving energy. But economists say there's room for im- provement. Economists claim that saving energy is simply a matter of paying attention to details and making minor adjustments to existing practices. Also keeping good energy use records will help spot trouble areas and check for savings when adjustments are made. Watering (Continued From Page 1) may be called for to break up the surface compaction. It is suggested that one-half or less of the root system should be subjected to this type of treatment in a single year. Do part of the root area one year and another part the next year. This provides some insurance if some roots are injured during this procedure. Trees surrounded by concrete or asphalt are also subjected to more drought stress. Not only do these materials accentuate the heat problems but they act as a sponge taking up available moisture. Supplemental watering is essential for trees in these types of areas this year. Root competition where trees are planted in close proximity can accentuate drought stress. Notice the trees dying along the roadside this summer from drought stress. Dogwoods are just one species of many different trees being affected severely. They are mentioned here because they illustrate those trees that sometimes show unusual leaf coloration due to drought stress. Pink Dogwood especially is showing what seems to be a premature fall color out on the ends of branches. Watering a large tree will take considerable water because the soil under at least 1/3 of the tree canopy will need to be wetted to a depth of 24." This sounds expensive but when compared to the cost of replacing a large tree is actually cheap. What are some of the possible consequences of not watering? Many unwatered trees that will survive the stress will be weakened considerably. This might lead to further injury this winter or to disease attack. Whatever, the risk of not watering is too great. By Dr. Harry Ponder, Extension Horticulturist Among actual production operations, brooding requires vast amounts of energy to heat poultry houses. Producers can however hold the line on some heating costs by locating brooders in the center of houses, using solid brooder guards like sheet metal or corrugated paper, clustering brooders in groups of three of four and by following manufacturers' suggested maintenance on all brooding equipment. Partial house brooding, where a plastic curtain closes off a section of the poultry house for young chicks, can mean an energy savings of up to 25 percent. Installing winterized side curtains on poultry houses can trim fuel use 10 to 15 percent. It also helps to shut off brooder pilot lights as the birds grow older and require less supplemental heat. Poultry house lighting offers another chance to conserve. A system of intermittent lighting such as 8 hours of light, following by 10 hours of dark, 2 hours of light and 4 hours of dark (compared with the traditional 14 hours of light and 10 hours of dark) can shave electricity use by 25 percent. Producers can also burn 25 to 50 percent less electricity by reducing light intensity. Keeping light bulbs clean and adding reflectors will provide maximum light at minimum wattage. An efficient ventilating system is also a must. Lowering ventilation rates will save power and still do the job. Local Extension Service engineers should be able to help determine proper ventilation schedules. Preserving Pork Seminar Planned Home preservation of pork will be the subject of a seminar to be held at Callaway Plantation on December 10. The course is being sponsored by the Wilkes County Agent's office and the University of Georgia Extension Service. The one day course will cover hog killing from the slaughter through the curing of the meat and the preparation of sausage and lard. Registration begins on August 15. Participation limited to 40.
