EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
INCOME IN GA.
Atlanta, Ga. — Georgia's 1960 farm
income showed an increase of nine per
cent over the preceding year, the
U. S. Department of Agriculture re
ported last week.
The increase, the report said, was
due to gains in receipts from broilers,
hogs, eggs, cotton, tobacco. and pea
nuts which offset the decline in re
ceipts from cattle, dairy products and
corn,
Total production expenditures were
up slightly as increases in money
spent for livestock, taxes, interest, de
preciation and miscellaneous items
more than offset decreases in expendi
tures so rfeed, seed, fertilizer, hired
labor and repairs and operation.
Georgia’'s total income from live
stock and by-products increased from
$385,806,000 in 1959 to $409,818,000 last
year. The state's income from all crops
was up from $332,004,000 in 41959 to
$371,789,000 in 1960. The total income
rose from $717,810,000 in 1959 to $781,-
607,000 last year.
The state’s farm income showed a
sharp rise for the month of October
but declined in November and Decem
ber. Total October income was $107,-
333.000, up from SBIBII,OOO the pre
vious year. The following month saw
the total decline from $55,816,000 to
$49,965,000 and December recorded a
still further decline, from $45,763,000
10 $44,294,000. \
Farm Bureau Sees $8 l
Million Increase For |
Ga. Peanut Growers
Macon, Ga. — Georgia Farm Bureau
officials, in releasing a statement on
USDA’s -announced peanut support
price for 1961, declared the new sup
port levels would boost peanut grower
income by over $8,000,000 annually inl
Georgia.
Gross sales last year totaled ap-‘
proximately $54 million. Georgia is the
nation’s largest peanut producing state,i
and in 1960 produced 563,500,000 Ibs.,
based on October 1960 Georgia Crop
Reporting estimates. |
Harry L. Brown, Georgia Farm Bu-l
reau President, declared, “I commend '
the Secretary for this action—it will |
mean an added boost to Georgia pea
nut growers of approximately $8
million.” |
“The increase totals $29 per ton in
average price support over last year
with elimination of the deduction,”
he said.
Last year's average announced sup
port price was $2Ol, with $9.00 per
ton deducted from the grade support.
The 1961 minimum support reflects
85% of parity, $221 per ton averages
with elimination of the $9 per ton
deduction. The net boost over last
year will be an average of $29 per
ton to growers,

1961 UPLAND COTTON
PRICE SUPPORT SET
Price support for the 1961 crop of l
upland cotton has been set at a mini
mum level of 33.04 cents per pound,
gross weight, sbasis Middling 1-inch,
at average location.
This represents a moderate increase
of .62 cents per pound above the sup
port price for the same quality of 1960-
crop cotton under the “Choice A” pro
gram, which accounted for most of last
year’s production.
The Department of Agriculture this
=year has also announced a minimum
‘national average supprot of 31.84 centsl
per pound. This reflects 82 percent of
the current parity price. When price|
differentials for the different qualitiesl
‘of cotton are determined later under |
}the support program, the average’l
support price will be converted to a
| Middling 1-inch basis. If this is a high-i
er price than the minimum announced
today for Middling 11-inch cotton, the
price will be increased accordingly.
. Announcing a Middling 1-inch sup
‘lport price in addition to a national
average price will enable farmers to
\more accurately determine the support
| price for the qualities of cotton they
; normally produce.
! USDA has also announced an initial
jrate of support payment of 85 ceits
lper pound for cotton shipped on or
'alter August 1, 1961, when the new
(cotton marketing year begins. The
rate will be subject to change without
! prior notice.

Identifying a Dodge has become 2 problem. Because now
there are two. Compact Dodge Lancer. Full-size Dodge
Dart. There is an obvious difference. Size, iuside and out.
Dart, the lower picture, is the larger. But otherwise they
are very much alike. Both have a unitized, rust-proofed
body. A superb ride called Torsion-Aire. A battery-saving
alternator. And both have optional three-speed push
button automatic transmissions. Another difference is

seek out this beautiful garden spot
fieach year and walk its two miles of
‘woodland paths that follow a little
!winding brook over the many acres of
planted grounds.
' The Trail has been described by
‘many visitors as a little Bellingrath
lGardens. but it is not a formal garden.
IThe beauty of the Garden lies in the
frestful atmosphere it gives as you
‘walk its little winding paths with a
‘blaze of color and the many birds
singing in their native habitat.
The Azalea Trail was started by Mr.
S. D. Coleman and his son, S. D. Cole
man, Jr, as a hobby some 25 years
ago. It is connected with their nur
sery. Throughout the years they have
collected many native plants of rhodo
dendrons, magnolias, dogwoods, native
azaleas and every flowering shrub,
azalea and camellia that grows in this
part of the country and placed them in
