New Corn Club
Formed To Cite
Efficient Growers
Georgia has a new club to recognize
farmers who do a superior job of pro
ducing corn,
This is the Money Maker Club, spon
sored by the Cotton Producers Asso
ciation, according to J. R. Johenson,
head of the Extension agronomy de
partment at the University of Georgia
College of Agriculture, and W. H. Gur
ley, Extension agronomist.
The new club will be conducted by
the Cooperative Extension Service, the
agronomists said.
The Money Maker Club is replacing
the Georgia 1000-Bushel Corn Club
which has recognized thousands of
farmers for making high yields since
it was established in 1955.
Members of the new club will be
limited to farmers who produce an
average of 85 or more bushels of corn
per acre on the entire farm unit. Yield
determination is made on all corn
grown on a farm, Mr. Johnson ex
plained. |
“Georgia has a tremendous market
for corn to meet needs of feed mix
ers and a growing livestock and |
poultry market,” he said. “County |
agents will use the Money Maker!
Club to encourage farmers to grow
high yields per acre for efficient pru-‘
duction.”
Corn fits in as a cash crop to help'j
fulfill goals of the Extension Service, |
according to Charles R. O'Kelley, state
agricultural leader for the Extension
Service. ’
Dollars from corn will assist busi
ness in town, and higher yiclds means!
higher farm income, he added. l

Child Pensions Clarified
By Veterans Director
Atlanta — Georgia Veterans Service
Director Pete Wheeler reports numer
ous inquiries have been made recent
ly about pensions for children of Con
federate veterans. |
Georgia doesn’'t pay a state pension
to children of Confederate veterans,
Wheeler said. |
He added that the only children of
Confederate veterans now drawing
Federal pensions are those who became:
incapable of self-support before reach
ing age 18. |
The amount of Federal pension fori
these children is $73.13 a month plus
$8.13 for any additional eligible child,
the amount to be equally divided inl
that case. !
Children of Confederate veterans who
earlier drew Federal pensions did so
when there was no surviving wic'ow.‘[
They also had to be unmarried, under:
18 or under 21 and enrolled in a rec-i
ognized school for training or educa
tion. |
Wheeler noted that 167 Georgia
widows of Confederate veterans pres
ently receive pensions of sllO a month.
Most of these widows also receive
Federal pensions averaging $65. ‘
The Veterans Service Department
took over the Department of Confed-‘
erate Pensions and Records on the
first of this year and disburses pen-l
sion checks to widows of Con!ederate!
veterans. |
