said:
Georgia offers many opportun¬
ities to the dairy industry. Mild
climate makes year-round grazing
possible. Water is plentiful and
the soil is good. Markets are avail¬
able, both near home and in the
heavily populated cities of the
East. We are as close to these
great Eastern markets as are the
great dairy states of the Middle
West,
A To me, as a dairy farmer, there
nothing better on earth than a
successful dairy farm . . . Along
with Pijtnam County, Georgia as
a state has moved forward rapid¬
ly in dairy production. The coun¬
try as a whole has the smallest
number of milk cows in 20 years
while the number of cows in Geor¬
gia herds increased 15,000 last
year.
“But there is still room for im¬
provement Georgia dairy farmers
produce less than half of the total
milk equivalent of all dairy prod-
Cocke Probable
Candidate For
Ga. Governor
ATLANTA — (GPS) It appears
a new version of the old game
of “Button, button, who’s got the
button?” is “Candidate, candidate,
who’ll be a candidate in the next
gubernatorial race?” With the
election still more than a year off,
this political guessing game is be¬
ing placed earlier than usual in
Georgia. Main reason: The incum-
ucts consumed and our consump¬
tion is not up to the national
average. It is well to note that
all evaporated and dry milk solids
we use as well as a large pro¬
portion of the butter and cheese
we consume, come from other
states. M
Pointing out that Putnam Coun¬
ty dairy cooperatives and inde¬
pendent dairymen last year pro¬
duced close to $2-million worth of
dairy products, Talmadge said this
is in sharp contrast to the condi¬
tions existing when the boll weevil
attacked this great cotton growing
county in 1922 and virtually de¬
stroyed cotton production, leaving
vast fields which were nearly
worthless because of the erosion
that followed.
■. From an economically strick¬
en community, it has advanced to
the point where this county, for
its size, has the greatest concen
j tration of dairy production of »» any
1 county in the entire nation.
bent, Gov. Herman Talmadge
prohibited by law from
re-election. That means
are sending up their trial balloons
ahead of schedule as they see
possibility of a wide-open race in
1954.
The picture is a long way from
being in focus, but let’s take a
look at it anyway. Who has
projected as a likely candidate?
Lots of them. But in the
it’s been the old guard; those
whose names have been “promin¬
ently mentioned” in just about ev¬
ery pre-campaign season for
past decade or so. Some are men¬
tioned seriously; some not too se¬
riously.
However, just recenty a
and some say a serious — conten¬
der has come to the center of the
stage. He is Dawson’s Erie Cocke,
Jr., former national
of the American Legion, who is
generally recognized as one
Georgia’s best versed young
nessmen on state, national and
ternational affairs. And with to¬
day’s accent on youth in
ment and business many
ers contend he’s “a natural. i <
Cocke was 32 years old last
10. At any rate, his
in Georgia’s political arena is caus¬
ing quite a stir.
News that the young
War II veteran is “seriously
sidering” making the race leaked
out in Washington. Asked to com¬
ment on the report, Cocke would
say no more than “I’m looking in¬
to the matter." But a subsequent
story in his home town newspaper,
The Dawson News, strongly indi¬
cates that he will be a
for governor. The story said

lisher Carl Rountree, “I get

lems which confront our state. He
has a knack of getting along with
people which would be a tremen¬
dous asset in legislative matters.
His brilliant military record is too
well known among Georgians fori
comment here. *
'Earle is no novice at politics.
He as demonstrated that upon
many stages and his youthful en¬
ergy would serve him well in a
campaign. Naturally, Erie Cocke
will be our candidate if he runs
and we believe he will. We hope
in that event, the people will see
fit to elect him. •*
