Because of the time necessary to assemble information associated with eligibility, many counties were not of program regulations and the completion of the sign-up. The sign-up, originally scheduled to end on January 8, 1999, has been extended and USDA will announce the deadline after publication of the program regulations. USDA will make assistance available on a county-by-county basis in counties where at least a 40 percent grazing Joss occurred for 90 or more consecutive days. Livestock owners can contact -a local USDA Service Center or Farm Service Agency office for more information. Department of Agriculture conducts inspections and tests on animals prior to slaughter as well as during the entire slaughter and processing procedures. Inspections and tests also are performed on the final meat and meat products prior to being shipped from the plant. Inspections are conducted at grocery stores, processing plants and slaughtering facilities to make sure that high standards of sanitation are maintained at each facility, including the outside premises of the property. approved until after sign-up began.

Inspectors also enforce the proper formulation of ingredients and labeling requirements. The Georgia Meat Inspection Program is a cooperative effort,between the Georgia Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This program mandates inspection and enforcement of regulations governing sanitation, slaughter and processing of animals in state licensed establishments. Many inspectors also are certified by USDA to perform federal inspections in federal plants under the Talmadge-Aiken Agreement. "Our cooperation with USDA enables lr!_S to intensify the frequency and quality of our inspections, based upon uniform federal standards,'' said Irvin. "All other meat and poultry processing and slaughter plants in the state are inspected by USDA personnel." In addition to the numerous inspections that are conducted in slaughter and processing plants, samples are routinely collected from randomly-selected carcasses and sent to federal laboratories to detect possible residues such as antibiotics, pesticides, and. hormones. In addition, carcasses with suspected disease abnormalities may be sampled and tested by the state diagnostic labs in Tifton and Athens prior to being released for consumption. The Georgia Department of Agriculture maintains a meat laboratory in Atlanta that randomly tests processed meat and meat products for compliance with requirements for weight, volume, contents, composition, nutrition and wholesomeness. Products also are checked for undesirable elements such as adulterants and bacteria. A state compliance staff within the Meat Inspection Section monitors the state for illegal operations which violate either the State Meat Inspection Act, the Georgia (Continued on Page 8) Notice to Farmers Any Georgia farmer claiming to have unpaid accounts for agricultural products sold. to Foster Farms of Georgia of Bainbridge, Georgia, should immediately contact: Georgia Department of Agriculture, Bonding, 248 Agriculture Building, Capitol Square, Atlanta, Georgia 30334; (404) 656-3725.

Lyon Chamblee 770-458-3939 Page 8 If your camellia blossoms turn brown prematurely, they probably are infected with camellia flower blight. To prevent the disease from spreading, remove infected flowers from the plant and surrounding ground. After the plants have flowered, remove any old mulch from around the plant and replace it with new mulch. If the old mulch material remains, it may harbor the blight and allow it to reinfect new flowers next year. Also, do not add infected flowers or old mulch to your compost pile as you could further spread the disease to new plants when you apply the compost to the soil around them. Plants tend to be hurt more by sudden temperature fluctuations rather than by gradual cooling. If you experience mild temperature during winter for more than a week in your area, watch your plants for signs of growth. When the weather begins to turn cold again, cover vulnerable plants with plastic or another covering, such as an old bedspread or bushel hamper. Such covers create a dead airspace around the plant that provides protection from the cold temperatures. Planting hollies is a great way to add some color to your winter landscape. When you shop for the plants, keep in mind that only female plants will produce fruit and they will do so only when a male holly is nearby for pollination. You can be sure you get female hollies if you purchase only those with berries on them. Some varieties are self-fruiting; ask your nurseryman for details. If you are now ordering flower seeds for your spring garden, be sure you order enough zinnias and nasturtiums. Since zinnias can be planted in spring and again in midsummer, you may want to purchase enough for both seasons. Nasturtiums can be grown in both spring and fall so you may want to place a double order of them as well. Becky Young of Riverdale, Ga., grew this 10-foot sunflower in her back yard. THE MARKET BULLETIN Wednesday January 6,.1999 Recycle Christmas Trees Donations Sought Jackie Cline, 8, and her sister, Jessica, 14, grew this 98-pound watermelon in the garden of their parents, Roger and Lynn Cline, Ball Ground, Ga. The melon measured 45 1/2 inches in circumference. River Birch, sometimes called Red Birch, is a tree that grows along the banks of rivers, ponds and marshes. It is one of 12 birch species that grow southward from the Arctic Circle, and it is the only one that grows naturally at low elevations in the southeastern United States. In the U. S. the River Birch grows as far north as Massachusetts, as far south as Florida, and as far west as Texas. The fact that seeds of River Birch mature earlier in the year than other birch species allows the seeds to get a headstart on germinating in bare, open soil left by receding floodwaters. The River Birch has become popular as a landscape tree because of its distinctive bark and graceful crown. The crown is composed of arching branches that end in slender, reddish-brown twigs that have a fine covering of hairs. This species of birch also is considered to be the most resistant to borers, and it can tolerate drier conditions than other species. A medium-sized tree grows to approximately 70 feet high. Leaves of the River Birch are one and one-half to three inches long and one to two inches wide, and the leaves grow alternately on the stem. Tiny hairs are found on the stem and the underside of the leaves' stout midrib. Bark color can vary, but on young trees it appears thin and pinkish to reddish brown (salmon-pink). As the tree matures, the bark turns gray to black. Birch trees, including the River Birch, produce long catkins (scaly spikes) which contain tiny flowers. The closed male catkins appear. in autumn; the female ones the following spring. Birch nutlets are. small and grow in a cone, and the plentiful seeds are enjoyed by a wide range of songbirds. River Birches transplant well and grow best in moist, slightly acidic soils. The tree also will grow on dry sites, and sites that are flooded for part of the year and dry for the remainder of the year. For the Birds After Christmas, you can move your tree outside and redecorate it for the birds, according to the University of Georgia Extension Service. Anchor the tree in a bucket full of damp sand. Leave on strings of popcorn and cranberries. And add strings of peanuts (in the shell). Hang apples, oranges, leftover breads and cakes - even peanut butter cookies - on the branches. But don't use any foods containing chocolate, which is poisonous to some small animals. For best results, push the edible ornaments well into the free. Things that swing might scare birds. (Continued from Page 1) * Christmas trees are biodegradable. The branches and trunk may be removed and chopped to be used as mulch in your garden. * Branch tips and needles provide aromatic stuffing for sachet. * Sunk into private fish ponds or lakes, trees make excellent refuge and feeding areas for fish. * Living Christmas trees that come with their roots intact can be planted in the yard and enjoyed for years to come. * Use the main stem to bum in the fireplace after removing branches and needles. Meat Processing Regulations (Continued from Page 1) Food Act or the Federal Meat or Poultry Acts. The compliance staff also monitors the state by inspection and sampling of meat and poultry products at warehouses, wholesalers, retailers and restaurants. Product is obtained when violations occur and product may be destroyed to prevent it from reaching the consumer, if necessary. The Department then takes enforcement action against violators. Today's consumers expect food to be wholesome, nutritious and safe to eat. Consumers should realize, however, that alth9ugh the U.S. food supply is the safest in the world, it isn't risk-free, nor will it ever be. Risks exist despite the best efforts of consumers, producers, processors, retailers and government agencies that regulate the food industry. Consumers can be assured that the Georgia Department of Agriculture is working hard each day to reduce possible risks and maintain the highest level of food safety possible.
