Teaching Kids About Money
It seems like a broad reach
from a childhood toy to the
basic question of giving or
not giving a money
allowance. But, is it really?
There are countless
opinions on how to teach
children the value and man
agement of money. One
school of thought claims a
youngster can learn only by
earning money; so he’s paid
for household tasks. Though
admirable in theory, this
method isn’t necessarily good
as it can distort the import
ance of money. Also, a child
should share housekeeping
chores without payment
as a responsible family
member. But, can merely
giving an allowance teach him
to handle money? Not al
ways. Some parents provide
an allowance; then let the
child earn extra money by
setting specific “wages” for
“special” chores. Learning
mature money management
depends upon many
considerations.
Most parents agree age 5 or
6 is a good time to begin
teaching the economic facts.
Once a method is decided
upon, parental guidance is
good, but attempting to con
trol his spending is unwise.
Only by using his money in
his own way can he gain
wisdom in handling it. And
you’ll know he’s learnirg

when the youngster (who
usually “can’t wait” to spend
his allowance) shows you his
savings and asks how much
more he needs to buy that
“swell yellow Nylint steel toy
Twister that really twists in
the middle and climbs over
things”. And, by saving, he’s
automatically learned more
about value, plus responsibi
lity in ownership than in a
thousand words from you.
Children are remarkably
responsive to unspoken
attitudes as well as conscious
example. Yet each has a
highly individual reaction.
Thus, the child of spendthrift
parents may become a spend
thrift or cautious and prud
ent due to childhood feelings
of insecurity. A sensible
attitude toward money, like
countless social values, is
probably best derived from a
climate of stability within the
home. If you have confidence
in yourself and your influ
ence, chances are that he,
too, will learn confidence
in himself and his ability to
make decisions as well as
good judgment in handling
money.

Dawn of Agribusiness
The decade of the 1960’s is
fast drawing to a close. One
thing that has ahppened during
the last ten years is a coming
together of farming and farm
businesses. Its all warpped up
in that relatively new word,
“agribusiness.”
Why this closer relationship?
Dr. Tyrus R. Timm, head of
the agricultural economics de
partment at Texas A&M Univer
sity, gave three reasons last
month at Georgia’s first agri
business conference.
the first reason, he said, is
the growing commercialization
of farming. In other words, far
ming itself has become more of
a business.
Second, the increase in in
terest groups—special interest
groups concerned about faming

and farm business. Timm po
inted out that membership in
farm and farm-related organiz
ations in this country is at an
all-time high. This certainly
doesn’t indicate any lessening of
interest in, or importance of,
farming.
The third reason Timm gave
for the closer relationship be
tween farming and business is
government. Government is
going to be involved in farming
from now on, he stated. “There
is nothing as permanent as a
temporary government age
ncy.”
THE MEANING?
What does it mean, this wed
ding for farming and business
into agribusiness? For one
thing, it means a boon to our
economy. Farm income in the
state no longer stands alone.
It is multiplied four to five times
by agribusiness activity.
So our farm income of slightly
more than $1 billion last year
really becomes a $4 tossbillion
contribution to the total eco
nomy. This is what happens as
our agricultural commodities
go through the various proce
ssing steps on the way to the
consumer.
Big as agribusiness is in
Georgia, many people feel we’ve
only begun to scratch the sur
face.
Take peanuts, for example.
Georgia has 38 percent of the
allotted peanut acreage in the
U.S. Yet only 15 percent of
the peanuts produced in the state
are processed here. The rest
are shipped out of Georgia to
provide jobs--and dollars—for
people in other states.
Georgia is also a deficit state
in production of red meat. It
is estimated that, ifweproduced
all the beef and pork we con
sumed, $127 million annually
would be added to our farm
income.
A LONG WAY
Yes, farming and farm bus
iness came a long way during
the decade of the 1960’5. For
the first time (1967) farm
income in the state passed the
$1 billion mark. And this, thanks
to agribusiness activity, is mul
tplied four to five times
tiplied four to five times.
But we still hve a long way to
go. Most experts see continued
growth of agriculture during the
decade of the 1970’5. The next
ten years will be exciting ones.
I am sure every Extension Ser
vice worker in Georgia joins me
in looking forward to the 70’s
and in pledging our continued
efforts to bring further pro
gress and growth to farming
and farm business.
