supplemental education work.
The Commission inaugurated
some forest protection education
work in Taylor twenty year ago,
and before fire lowers or wardens
had been instituted here. The costs
of the work is taken care by about
1,000 landowners, banking and wood
industry groups of both southern

rush, the visiting spokesman stated
while in the Herald office.

Ex-King Cotton
Still A Price
Georgia Cotton acreage for 1960
is estimated by the Georgia Crop
Reporting Service at 695,000 acres,
a two per cent gain over the acre
age planted last year, but a long,
long way below the 1916 acreage of
more than fiye million, largest ever
planted in this state.
Production estimates will not be
available until Aug. 8. With the
high cost of production today, the
farmer needs a high yield of cotton
if he is to make a profit on the
crop. Most Georgia farmers have
learned the value of fertilization
and insect control, and if the sea
sons are good, it may be that cot
ton production this year in Georgia
will climb above the best average
we have so far been able to achieve.
325 pounds of lint, or about three-
quarters of a bale per acre.
County agents continue to urge
applications for boll weevil control
and reports indicate control this
season is going well.
The cotton crop (lint and seed)
in Georgia, last year, according to
Crop Reporting figures, was valued
at more than $93 million, an in
crease over the ‘58 value of about
$70 million.
Though cotton is no longer king in
Georgia and diversification of farm
crops has brought increased income
for farmers, cotton accounted for
slightly more than 25 per cent of
the farm crop income in our state
last year.
Every day, we are told, retailers
in the U. S. invest over $6 million
in newspaper adverising to reach
the more than 106,000,000 people
(12 years and over) who read news
papers daily.
The Barnesville Post Office will
hold open house today( Thursday)
from 2:30 p. m. until 4:00 p. m. The
public is cordially invited to attend
by Col. Homer A. Sappington, post
master.

Life in the farm and rural homes of today is
vastly different from that of just one short genera
tion ago . . . and chiefly responsible for much of
the growth and development of rural areas, and a
better way of life for the people, are the Rural
Electric Systems which were organized to bring
electricity to Member-Owners who could get this
service no other way.
But the blessings of this great program are not
limited to the Members of the Rural Electric
Systems. All Americans live better because of
the higher quality food and fiber, produced eco
nomically with the help of low-cost electricity
available in rural areas . . . and everybody benefits,
directly or indirectly, from the vast market for
goods and services created by this 20th Century
miracle — Rural Electrification!
