gia, along with 70C other asso
ciates having a total member
ship of some 388,000 farmers,
growers, and ranchers across
tho country, will help In the
job of "speaking up" for U.S,
agriculture dartre 1967,
L, S. Patton, Manager of tho
Gainesville association, re
turned dlls week from a con
ference in Macon, where plans
wore reviewed for the comity
50th Anniversary of the Federal
Land Bank of Columbia* The ob
servance will pay tribute to^A-
merica's Farmers: ProvMors
of Plenty" and it will be parall
eled by similar programs in the
11 other Land Bank districts
throughout the United States
and Puerto Rico.
Highlights of the anniversary
year In the Columbia land bank
district of North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida
will include a district-wide
meeting at Miami, Florida
annual meetings of the 46 local
associations, open house
events, introduction of new land
bank film, and many others.
On a continuing basis through
the year, associations In the
Columbia district will support
a public informational program
calling attention to the contri
butions farmers, growers, and
ranchers are making to help
keep food prices down and pro
duction up,
"Farmers are entitled to an
opportunity to "speak their
piece' for a change,’' Mr. Pat
ton said, '‘especially’ now, when
there is a great deal of talk
about Inflation. The fact Is that
farmers today ore losers, not
winners, In Inflation. They must
pay more for what they buy each
year but they are receiving very
little more for what they sell
than they did 15 years ago."
It U a known fact that on the
average, one farmer today pro
duces food for 33 people com
pared withiSin the early 1950’s
Mr. Patton said, and the key
word for what Is taking place
on farms today Is "efficiency,"
The Land Banks aim to''trans
late" this efficiency into terms
of personal meaning for non-
farm segments of tho U. SI pub
lic, he said.
''All Americans are concern
ed with rising living costs to
day" Mr. Patton continued,
"so tills is the right time to set
a lot of records straight as far
as tho farmer Is involved,
"Consumers should know, for
example, that the farmer re
ceives only about 4 cents for the
wheat ho provides In a 25-eont
pound loaf of white broad; 2,7
cents as his share of a box of
corn flakes retailing for 30
cents; 2G for Uie cotton hi pro
vides In a shirt retailing for
84,39; and that the heavily cap
italized agricultural business
had only a 2.8 per cent return
on Investment last year com
pared with 12*9 per cent for
leading U, 8* corporations,
"As tho farmer-owned Land
Banks hare been a major source
of long-term agricultural cre
dit for the past 50 years," Mr,
Patton concluded, "we feci It Is
a worthy objective of our Gol
den Anniversary observance to
document the true contributions
America’s ftrmors make to the
iho’ "rarld whlUkl llvl, W ln
uie «u» ju nation en

Jackson Electric
loins Celebration
Of Co-Op Month
William S* Welch, general
manager of Jackson Electric
Membership Corporation, an
nounced today that the North
east Georgia rural co-op Is
Joining with coopenUlvM
throughout the nation la the
celebration of October as Co-
Op Month,
'More than 60 million Am
ericans share ownership In the
nation's co-ops/' Welch said.
"Farmers use co-ops to get
feed, fertilizer, chemicals, a«l
to sell their livestock products.
Businessmen also use cooper
atives to serve their special
needs — druggists, grocers*
hardwaremen, clothiers, and
news gathering agencies.
Through co-ops, city, town and
rural people get electricity,
housing, food, health care, cre
dit, Insurance, drugs, and tele
phone service."
The rural electric leader said
that co-ops do a total of S20
billion worth of business a year.
‘ distinctive mark of co
ops Is that they are owned by
those they serve. They are lo
cally -owned, not for profit,
serving members at approxi
mate cost. Directors are elec
ted by the members,each mem
ber having one vote. In cooper
atives, 60 million persons par
ticipate in this country's free
enterprise system," Welch
said.
Governor Carl E, Sanders has
proclaimed October as “Co-Op
Month" In Georgia and has
called upon the citizens of Geor
