ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
-:- THE COUNTY AGENT -:-
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF
THE TRIPLE A TO
BE EMPHASIZED
Practically all farmers in Georgia
honestly intend to cooperate to the
fullest extent with the A. A. A. pro
gram. Os these intentional coopera
tors, there is a certain percentage
each year who fail to cooperate due
entirely to the lack of knowledge or
failure to understand certain very
important provisions of the A. A. A.
program. A large amount of admin
istrative work and trouble can be
eliminated if every producer in the
county knows the following require
ments of the program:
1. Each work sheet covers a defi
nite and specific area of land which
must meet the definition of a farm
in every respect.
2. Allotments cannot be trans
ferred from one farm to another.
3. All crops planted on a farm
will be checked against the allot
ments issued to that farm regard
less of who plants the crops.
4. All work sheets for 1940 which
cover land that does not meet the
definition of a farm must be recon
stituted.
5. There is no percentage of tol
erance in comparing planted acres
with allotted acres. A farm is
either in compliance by planting
within the allotment or out of com
pliance in excess of the allotment,
even though the extent is only a
fraction of an acre.
6. Each farm on which the acre
age planted to soil depleting crops
is in excess of the total soil deplet
ing acreage allotment or cotton
planted and tobacco harvested, plus j
twenty acres, and on which general
crops and livestock are produced in
1940 for market will have a pre
scribed deduction made from. 1940
agricultural conservation payments,
irrespective of whether the farm is
classed as a commercial or a non
commercial farm.
7. A work sheet should not be
approved for a non-grower allotment
Unless the land covered by the
work sheet meets the definition of a
farm.
8. A farm receiving a new-grow
ing allotment cannot then be com
bined with an old farm unless the
new-grower cotton allotment is can
celled.
9. It is the responsibility of the
farmer to plant within his acreage
allotment and the responsibility of
the A. A. A. to accurately determine
the acreage planted. The only meas
urements that can be accepted by
the A. A, A. are those measurements
PROPERLY MADE by a properly
authorized representative of the
A. A. A.
10. All materials obtained as a
grant of aid under the 1940 pro
gram must be made on the farm
covered by the application under
which the grant must be used in ac
cordance with good farming prac
tices and the specifications for soil
building practices as set forth in
Georgia Handbook and Amendments.
The failure to do so will cause a
double deduction to be made from
1940 agricultural conservation pay
ments. (
11. All soil building practices must
be carried out in accordance with
specifications contained in Georgia
Handbook and Amendments.

13. No 1940 parity payment or
conservation payment, other than a
soil building practice payment, will
be made to any farm which is not
normally operated in 1940.
14. No 1940 parity payment will
be made to any persons in 1940 in
respect to any commodities if:
(a) The acreage planted to such
commodities for harvest in 1940 on
the farm exceeds the acreage allot
ment.
(b) The sum of the acreage of
cotton, tobacco, and wheat on the
farm exceeds the sum of the allot
ments established for such crops
(usual acreage for non-allotment
wheat farms).
(c) Such person’s performance on
the farm which is otherwise eligi
ble for payment has been offset by
the planting of excess acreages of
cotton, tobacco, or wheat or other
farms in which he is interested in
the State.
FARM AGENT URGES
PROPER HANDLING
OF MARKET ANIMALS—
Early county farmers would never
strike or whip another animal going
to market if they would only visit
any packing hbuse and see the dam
age to the meat resulting from im
proper handling, County Agent J. E.
Leger advises in urging great care
in transporting fat cattle to market.
“Fat cattle are apt to bruise very
easily, even more so than* lean
ones,” the agent points out. “Sticks
and whips leave tell-tale marks. In
addition, farmers would do well to
exercise particular care in loading
cattle in order to keep them from
being bruised against gates, corners
of fences, car doors, and other square
or sharp objedts.
Farmers who have fed out beef
cattle this spring would find it prof
itable to go to the packing plant
and see the carcasses of those ani
mals hanging in the cooler, Mr. Le
ger believes. He says they would
then see how their animals look to
the packing companies and the ulti
mate consumer, and would be im
pressed by the serious damage to
some of the steers through rough
handling.
Georgia farmers are now feeding
out as good beef as any in the coun
try, the agent says, and it is up to
the feeder and cattle grower to see
that their fat stock is handled with
“kid gloves” so it will command
top prices.
GARDENS ADD TO HOME
SUPPLY OF FOOD—
County Agent J. E. Leger this
week recommended a home garden
for every farm family as a supple
ment to the food supply, and thus
save money which otherwise would
go for buying vegetables.
“Most people fail to realize the
value of the home garden patch, and
many of those who produce vegeta
bles only have a garden for a few
months out of each year,” he ex
plained. “Gardening on a year
round basis is needed on all farms,
and six to eight vegetables should be
available for use during any time
of the year.
“As for varieties of vegetables, it
is not always wise to discard old
standard varieties for new and un
tried strains. There are new varie-
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
ties, however, appearing from year]
to year that are worthy of trial.”
The agent said that summer gar
dening requires more care and skill
than is usually necessary for the
spring garden. Summer months are
usually hotter and drier, and for
that reason every advantage should
be taken of small streams to irrigate
garden patches, he stated.
“During this season of the year,
there are many insects who do un
told damage to garden crops,” Mr.
Leger pointed out. “Good brands of
rotenone and pyrethrum dusts are
effective to control both chewing
and sucking insects.”
These spray materials which may
be purchased from most any local
dealer should be secured so as to
have them on hand when insects
infest the garden crops, he added.
