Outlook Data To Help
Farmers Plan 1956
Programs
More than score of specialists on
the College of Agriculture Exten
sion Service staff have studied the
state and national farm situation
and come up with outlook infor
mation designed to help Georgia
families plan 1956 farm and home
programs.
Presented at six agricultural out
look meetings, one in each Exten
sion district, the information has
been compiled in one report and
is available from county and home
demonstration agents.
W. A. Sutton, associate Exten
sion Service director, said the think
ing of experts in practically every
field of agriculture and home eco
nomics—agronomy, forestry, live
stock, marketing, engineering, home
improvement, nutrition, clothing,
housing, health and others—went
into the report.
The Extension workers point out
that Georgia farmers will enter
1956 with record supplies of most
of their products already in the
markets or in stocks held in gov
ernment price support programs.
“This condition continues to evist,”
the specialists explain, “despite the
partially offsetting effects of in
creased exports and continuing
strong consumer demands.”
They say prices of the major
crops and the incomes of the farm
ers producing these crops are ex
pected to be somewhat lower next
year. They add, however, that the
drop in prices from 1955 to 1956
will probably be less than that
from 1954 to 1955.
Yields of ntajor crops in Georgia
set new records in 1955, and, ac
cording to the report, production
in 1956 should be somewhere near
1955 levels. "But cutbacks in allot
ted crops, continuing high product
ion costs and the possibility of
what lower support prices indicate
that the cost-price squeeze of the
past several years will still be with
us," the report states.
An encouraging feature is the
prospect for continuing strong de
mand for consumer goods in 1956.
The Extension staff members say
this observation is borne out by
such things as increases in con
sumer income, higher consumer
spending, increased exports, govern
ment expenditures, population
growth, and increased consumer
credit.
The report includes outlook in
formation on major commodities
grown in Georgia, and also featur
es a section on the outlook for
family living. Sutton said he hop
ed farm families will attend coun
ty meetings where the information
is discussed, read about in their
newspapers, discuss it with their
county and home demonstration
agent, and otherwise make use of
the material in plahning for farm
and home development in 1956.

MADE YOUR 1956
RESOLUTIONS
There was a time, not many
years ago, when the people of For
syth County, gave some thought
to the resolutions that they would
adopt for the New Year. Unfortu
nately, in this modern age of hurry
worry and hustle the habit has be
come somewhat rare but, neverthe
less, there is much to be gagined
by following the age-old custom of
our ancestors.
It always pays a man, or a wo
man, to take stock of themselves.
Frankly, honestly and privately
look yourself over, make an inven
tory of your assets and liabilities
in connection with a world of other
people.
We know there are blase indi
viduals who poke fun at all those
who seek to improve themselves.
There are likewise many people
who worship money above all other
accomplishments and therefore
base their judgment of everything
upon the basis of material wealth.
Religion teaches us thtat life is
more than material possessions
and that men and women, who ex
pect to live after death, must base
their faith upon spiritual achieve
ments. It is virtually impossible to
make much progress in this direct
ion unless one is willing to estab
lish, deliberately and intelligently,
a set of values for exis|tencev
Important Notice
