FARMERS & CONSUMERS Tommy /rv/n, Commissioner Georgia Department of Agriculture Market Bulletin Vol. 69, No. 46 Wednesday, November 16, 1983 Prepare Garden Threat of Nitrate Poisoning Farm and City Interdependent This year, Georgia's Farm-City Week observance will exceed the 1982 participation level. It is estimated that activities will be held in 120 counties to observe this na- tional celebration. Many counties have been making plans for months and some programs have already been held. Farm - City Week is a national program sponsored by the Na- tional Farm-City Week Council to bring' about a better understanding and appreciation of both the rural and urban segments of our society. The program puts into practice a good neighbor policy and encourages cooperation. Georgia's 19 percent growth in population over the past decade is but one example of why both sectors must work closer together. Much of this growth has occurred in the rural areas. (Our guest columnist this week is Dr. Horace Hudson, State Farm-City Week Chairman, Cooperative Extension Service, University of Georgia, Athens 30602). Agriculture is Georgia's largest industry and the state's economy is dependent upon agriculture remaining a viable industry. One goal of Farm-City Week is to spread the word that city and suburban people have as much, or more to gain from a prosperous agriculture as do farmers themselves. Millions of city jobs are created by farmers who buy the products and (Services offered by city people. One out of every five jobs in private enterprise is tied to agriculture. Agriculture requires the services of many to store, transport, process and merchandise the output of the farm. Farm-City Week in Georgia is considered by many to be one of the best Farm-City Week programs in the nation. This year Georgia will be featured throughout the nation on radio public service announcements sponsored by the National Associa- (Continued on Page 12) For Next Spring Prompts Producer Alert in Ga.

While it is tempting to ignore garden clean-up, it can often determine the success of next year's vegetable plot. As soon as your vegetables are harvested or killed by frost, chop up old plants and add them to your compost pile or plow Farm Management Focus of Program Agriculture Department veterinarians said a few cases of nitrate toxicity occur every year, but with the drought conditions ex- perienced this summer, producers should keep an even closer eye on herds fed with hay, peanut hay, (Continued on Page 12) Handicraft Edition The handicraft edition of the MARKET BULLETIN will be published on December 7.

A farm management program will be presented November 30 at the Rural Development Center in Tifton.

Excess nitrate levels develop in plants when they are stressed during the growing season, causing the conversion of nitrate to protein to be inhibited. The nitrate then remains in the plant, sometimes at lethal levels. Symptoms of extreme nitrate poisoning include staggering, labored breathing, diarrhea, convulsions and abortions. Reduced milk production, apprehensiveness and weight loss may indicate low level nitrate poisoning. Producers who suspect nitrate poisoning should contact a veterinarian as soon as possible. UGA Dairy Production Degree There is an antidote for nitrate poisoning but the key to its effectiveness is administering it soon after symptoms become apparent, Offers Various Alternatives (Continued on Page 12) Dairy production is the science which deals with the management of dairy cattle and production of food products. The bachelor of science degree in dairy production, given through the University of Georgia College of Agriculture, offers students three options to pursue: the management, science, or the agribusiness. With a degree in dairy production and a concentration in management, students are prepared to work directly in the feeding, milking, and reproduction phases of milk production. This enables graduates to return to the farm and become directly involved in milk production. The science program prepaTes graduates to enter veterinary or graduate school. Students study chemistry, advanced biology, microbiology, and other physical sciences. Graduates choosing the agribusiness option receive intensive training in economics, accounting, business management, farm management, and agricultural marketing.

Makin' Do Clean your child's favorite stuffed toy with cornstarch. Rub the cornstarch in, let it stand a while, then brush out. Wrap hot fried chicken in aluminum foil if you do not plan to enjoy it right away. Punch holes in the foil to allow steam to escape; this will help keep the chicken from becoming soggy. You can brighten your discolored aluminum pots and pans by boiling apple peelings in them. Clean your brass accessories and candlesticks with a solution of lemon juice and salt. You can prevent tarnishing after you polish by spraying them with a coat of silicone shoe spray. Rather than giving your dog a bath, rub baking soda into his coat and brush it out to deodorize and clean.

Inspection of live fowl in Georgia is limited primarily to persons who own game cocks and exhibit prize poultry, and Irvin urged those persons to be especially cautious and careful about movement of fowl into and out of Georgia. "The experts presume that the disease in Pennsylvania was introduced by migrating water fowl then mutated to the form it is in now," Irvin explained. "We believe we have the normal channels of fowl movement covered to keep this disease away from our flocks, but we need the cooperation of those others who have fowl to keep this virus out of Georgia." Federal officials expect 80 flocks will have been infected by the time the virus, commonly called "Fowl Plague," is brought under control in Pennsylvania. Thirty flocks are known to be infected now with the mutant virus, with 75 percent of them laying flocks and 25 percent broilers. Quarantines have been placed on all Pennsylvania counties with infected flocks. There is no cure for the highly virulent disease and the infected flocks must be destroyed. The use of an autogenous vaccine to combat the virus has been unproven and very likely would be of no value, according to poultry experts. Secretary of Agriculture John Block has declared the situation "an extraordinary" emergency and approximately $12.5 million has been allocated to compensate producers for depopulation of their flocks.

For more information call 656-3698 Page 12 Grandpa's Garden If you placed your geraniums outdoors for the summer, you need to make preparations to preserve them for next year's enjoyment. One alternative is to dig them and place them in a sunny window. Or, some folks overwinter geraniums by digging the plant, gently removing the soil from the roots once it dries, and simply hanging it upside down in a basement or attic where the temperatures will not fall below freezing. You also can place the roots of the plant in a bag filled with damp peat or vermiculite and allow the tops to dry until spring planting. Be sure and harvest your green tomatoes before the first frost. You can place them in the windowsill to ripen or wrap them in newspaper and pack in a cardboard box until they are ready to eat. You may prefer pulling up the entire tomato vine prior to the first frost, shaking off the excess soil, and hanging the plants upside down indoors until the fruit ripens. Shelling walnuts is a dreaded task, but here are a few hints to make the job a little easier. The greenishblack husk must first be removed. The easiest way to do this is to pour the nuts on the ground and drive over them with a car until the husks are knocked off or you can place the nuts in a burlap bag since the husks will stain the concrete. Gather the husked walnuts into a tub and cover with water. Stir the nuts around and change the water two or three times over several days. The bad nuts (those with dried nut meats) will float to the surface and can be discarded. Now place the clean walnuts in a burlap bag and hang in a sunny area to dry. This will take about a week. Crack the walnut shells with a hammer and place the cracked nuts in a paper bag. The next day the nut meats will have shrunk enough to fall out of the shells. Shake the bag well and separate the nuts meat from the shell. fembank Gardens Open to Public Each Sunday during November, visitors to Atlanta's Fernbank greenhouse and botanical gardens will receive a pansy to take home. The greenhouse, located at 765 Clifton Road, is open to the public on Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. Horticulturists also will be on duty to answer any of your gardening questions. For more information, please contact the DeKalb School System's Fernbank Science Center at 378-4311.
