...some time, Georgians have been expecting their Commissioner of Agriculture, Tom Linder, 66, to go after the nomination for governor, since Governor Herman Talmadge cannot succeed himself. Last week Tom began to qualify for the governorship by delivering an oration at the Confederate Memorial Day ceremonies in Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery, where 4,000 Confederate soldiers lie buried.

But in a burlap-covered acre, 995,000 worms survived; 1,610,000 slithered to safety beneath a protective acre of hay. The conservationists recommend a covering of chopped cornstalks or manure, or a quick-growing catch crop, to blanket the worms and tide them through the winter...
