G-P Sends 26 to College

Twenty-six freshmen are attending college this term as the start of four-year scholarships they have been .awarded by the Georgia-Pacific Foundation, according to Marion L. Talmage of Georgia-Pacific.

ooone hundred twelve students have received college grants from Georgia-Pacific since we began this program," Talmadge said. "The scholarships are awarded every year in areas where our company has major manufacturing and tree farming operations."

The G-P scholarships are renewable each year, Talmadge said, depending upon the students' performance. Winners only have to be citizens of the United States and residents of the areas where the company operates major facilities. The dollar amounts of the grants vary, depending upon tuition and other costs, and can be worth up to $4,000. Since 1955, Georgia-Pacific, or its predecessors, has awarded over $300,000 worth of scholarships and the program was expanded this past year.

"The basis for selection of our scholarship recipients is a combination of important qualifications," Talmadge said, "scholastic achievement and intellectual ability, need, character and potential for future contribution."

Plon to Hypo Wcrlnut Growth

An intensive new research program designed to increase the volume 'and quality of walnut in the next I0 to 15 years by accelerating the growth rate of existing immature trees has been announced by the American Walnut Manufacturerso Association. A major feature of the program will be establishment of the Walnut Research Center at Southern lllinois Universitv in Carbondale, Ill.

"This is a critical period for the future supply of American walnut, the nation's moet valued hardwood," AWMA's Donald H. Gott said. "Long famed as the prestige wood for furniture, paneling, millwork, novelties and gunstocks, it is in almost consiantly increasing demand. The supply must be increased as soon as possible to avert a future shortage."

Gott explained that boosting supply by simply increasing the nu4ber of plantations is a long-term proposition requiring 35 to 40 years lor growth.

"But through this new approach," he declared, "we hope to increase the supply appreciably in a relatively short time. If we can speed growth so that a l0-inch diameter tree becomes a 20inch tree in the next l0 years or so, we'll be a long way ahead in providing ample quantities of walnut lumber and veneer. We feel confident we can do this."

Preliminary research, he said, has shown that the growth rate and quality of l0-inch trees can be increased substantially by four basic measures. He outlined the measures as: (l) Pruning, which improves quality, and releasing the trees. (2) Eliminating weeds, grasses and underbrush. (3) Adding fertilizer to the trees. (4) Increasing the amount of water available to trees during Iow rainfall periods.
