FARM WAGES HIGH
Farm wage* rates in 1946 were
over three times the prewar level
and were the highest on record, a
report from the U. S. Department
of Agriculture showed this week.
Rates this year will continue high
but probably will taper off some in
the last part of the year. Farm em-

ployment increased somewhat in
1946 and is expected to increase fur
ther in 1947. For at least the next
year or two, the number of persons
available for farm work will not
change greatly, prices of farm pro
ducts will be somewhat lower than
at present and farm wage rates will
remain relatively high, according to
this report.

I FAJWIfJG CHANGES
Sixty-three percent of the cash
farm incocme in this state in 1925
came from cotton and cotton seed.
In 1945, returns from coctton and
cotton seed made up only 20 per
cent of the State’s total cash farm
income. L. E. Farmer, Extension
Service marketing specialist, at
Athens, says these changes in crop
ping practices and emphasis on live
stock have produced the following
chcanges in Georgia’s farm income
situation: In 1925, cash farm income
from crops was $190,301,000 and
from livestock, $32,568,000. In 1945
cash income from crops was $242,
898,000 and from livestock, slll,-
317,000.
MACHINERY INCREASES
The volume of machcinery, power
and equipment on farms has
ed each year since 1940 and in 1946
was about one-third above the 1935
-39 average, according to a report
from the U. S. Department of Agri
culture. More machinery will be
available in 1947 than during the
past few years, but at prices above
those in 1946. Production o ffarm
machinery for the last six months
of 1946 was about 25 percecnt above
that for the same period of 1945,
and a further increase in product
ion is expectced in 1946-47. The num
ber of tractors in 1946 was more
than double the number in 1935-39
In Georgia, tractor numbers have
increased from 9,000 in 1940 to 24,-
000 in 1945.
FLY CONTROL TIPS
Georgia farm families can help
keep fly populations under control
if the first crop of flies is destroyed
according to H. K? Welch, Jr., Geor
gia Extension Servicec dairyman.
April is a good month to start a fly
killing campaign. Welch said this
week. The following practcices will
aid in controlling flies: (1) Clean up
lots and barns thoroughly. (2) De
stroy breeding places by getting all
manure away from barns and
spreading it on the land. (3) Repair
screens on windows. (4) Use fly
traps around dairy barn. (5) Spray
bams with DDT, following manu
facturer’s recommendations.
TERRACE MAINTENANCE
Terrace maintenance will become
a part of regular farming operation
instead of a special expensive job
if terraced fields are plowed prop
erly. Unless plowing parallels ter
races, the original investment in
terrace construction is lost, the crop
yield is decreased and the value of
the land is reduced materially.
