Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWO Remedies For lLow Farm Income Discussed In Chapman Phamplet Why is the annual farm income of Tllinois $4,895 and that of Georgia $1,4887 What makes the difference ! These questions have been answered, and suggested remedies have been brought home to Georgia farmers as a result of the Georgia Better Farms Tour throughout the Fast and Midwest, and have been summarized in pam phlet form by Paul W. Chapman, dean of the University of Georgia College of Agriculture.

They visited the major agricultural experi ment stations, colleges, and farms in the area covered, and learned many valuabie lessons that can be applied at home in raiging the state’'s net farin income. Chief differences between Georgia farming and that of the more prosperous states visited were discussed by the grouv and summarized by Dean Chapman under five headings. These are (1) Capital Investment; (2) Work | Distribution; (3) Yields Per Acre and Production Per Animal Unit; (4) TFarmer Organization; and (5) Agricultural Research. Primary Difference One primary difference is in the capital investmenl per rarm.‘ lAverage ‘otal investment, includ ling land and building, livestock, iand equipment, in the states vis ited was $12,925. Georgia’s aver age per farm is $3,806, or one ,fourth the average investment | per farm in the East and Mid west. However, Georgia’s farmers make a higher return on their capital investments in farming than do the farmers of any of these states, but doubling invest ments in land reclamation, pas tures, and livestock might well more than double the farm earn ings. Work distribution, the year round and efficient use of labor, is an important factor mentioned by Dean Chapman. Life farmers of the more prosperous states, all Georgia farmers should bal anc® his crops with livestock pro duction. The typical farmers in the state spends 67 percent of his time with crops and only 16 per cent on livestock, whereas farm ers of Illinois spend 20 percent of their work hours with crops, 46 percent on farm animals, and the « remainder on farm maintenance. Bl TS CROW’S FOR REASONABLE PRICES IN ATHENSER ' DRYER ‘ - §1.39 9 i - WA RS SN y & jiT PAYS TO SHOP AT CROW'S§ , KT $.39 Georgia farmers have a relative ly high income per day, but they do not have enough days employ ment — Livestock give employ ment the year-round. This is im portant in increasing annual in come per farm, or per capita. Farm Efficiency , “Crop yields per acre and pro duction per animal unit consti tute a reliable index to farm ef ficiency,” wrote the Dean in dis cussing another factor. In grow ing corn in Georgia, three acres are requirad to do the work of one in the states visited. Equal inadequacy exists in livestock nroduction. The loweet produe ’tion of milk per cow in the area covered was found in Ohio with 4,940 pounds per year—Georgia's typical cow produces only 3,200 pounds per year, To prosper, such differences in yields must be re duced. Farmer organization is indica tive of the interest farmers are taking in solving their own prob lems. Illinois, for example, has 125,000 Farm Bureau members— Georgia has 56,629 and the goal for 1948 has been set at 80,000. Great progress has been made in the state since 1941, however, when there were only 1,313 mem bers. ‘ A final difference is in agri cultural research. Large sums are spent for research in the East and Midwest — three mil lions annually in Illincis and Pennsylvania, and more than one million in Ohio. Fortunately, Georgians are becoming increas ingly interested in agricultural research, and larger sums of state money are being allocated. As recently as 1940-41, the Geor gia State Experiment Station re ceived only $40,000 in state ifunds. Last year a sum approxi mately ten times as large was Lmade available to the agricultu ral units of ithe University Sys tem. In Georgia’s changing agri culture there are many new problems which require study. Funds invested in such research by the state will pay handsome dividends in higher incomes for farmers in the state. Summing up, Dean Chapman observed that the main differen ces discussed deal with the busi ness aspects of farm manage ment. “The need for a campaign centered raound THE BUSINESS OF FARMING,” stated the Dean, “is the number one lesson learn ’ed from the Georgia Better Farms Tours.” l SRR C R A W‘}% j R H NlnCCaioct e { ELMO ' CLEANSINGCREAM .. .. .. .. .. 51.5 EYE LASH CURLERS & TWEEZERS KURLASH, $1.50 value .. .. .. ..

I 2nd Annual Editor's ® Institute Closes Here BY LAMAR CLIFTON | The Second Annual Industrial Editors Institute came to ,u close yesterday, the concluding session heing a luncheon at the Georgian Hotel at 1:30. Sl e ' Miss Mary Singleton, Atlanta, editor, Georgia Power Company, was named president of the South ern Industrial Eaitors’ Association, which sponsors the annual insti tufe in cooperation with the Hen ry W.

The Saturday morning pro gram, featuring four additional addresses in the University of Georgia Chapel, marked the end of the three-day series of events insofar as the intended insiruc tional purposes were concerned. The first address of the morn ing, with cound film_ on “Typog raphy and Layout,” was deliver--1 ed by Howard King, of the Inter type Corporation. ~ In delivering the second Satur day morning speech, James W. Bradley, president, James W. ‘Brad]e_v and Scns, Atlanta, used some of his own enlarged prints in illustrating the preoess o:l “Photography.” ’ The third address, ‘“Opportuni ties in the Trade Paper Field,"‘ was by Richard P. Smith, exe ‘cutive vice-president, W. R. C.i ‘Smith Publications. The final morning address, the last discus sion delivered in the Chapel, was la general presentation by Paul Wooten, president, National Con ference of Business Paper Edi- Itors, Washington. | The Friday niorning session of‘ the Institute got under way with the outstanding editor-business men delivering ideas and facts that are applicable to all phases of business and education. Malcolm M. Bryan, vice-chair man of the Trust Company of Georgia Friday declared that the defense costs of the United States must be met from current money income rather than through crea tion of new money supplies. Speaking at ‘the Friday session Mr. Bryan told the editors that failure to cope with our financial obligations can ‘“explode and de stroy our society as easily and es- THREE SENATORS FAVOR PAY BOOSTS WASHINGTON, Nov, 6 — (AP) — Immediate $5,000-a-year pay raises for members of the Presi dent’s cabinet and some 200 other top government officials were urged today by three Senators. Senator Flanders (R-Vt.) speak ing also for Senators Baldwin (R- Conn.) and O’Conor (D-Md.) told reporters he expects the next Con gress, under Democratic control, to vote the increases. Both President Truman and his unsuccessful Republican opponent, Governor Thomas E. Dewey, have been urging higher salaries to at tract top-flight executives into government service or retain those now there, Flanders made public a bill that would lift the pay for 218 offi cials from the present range of SIO,OOO-$15,000 a year to $15,000- $20,000. | “Our present pay range for these leading appointive officials is a mess,” Flanders said. “In some cases responsible heads of depart ments and agencies are paid less than many of their surbordinates.” As an example many agency heads are limited to SIO,OOO a year while their chief subordinates drew $10,330. Even at the proposed higher pay levels, Flanders said more top flight government executivesl would “be making a financial sa- L REPAIRED @ Watch Crystals @ Watch Repairs @ Dials Refinished @ Diamonds Remounted R EEE fectively as defeat in battle. “No modern government has been able to finance a war by get ting its people to give it enough| money through taxes and loans for the procurement of men and ma-l terials,” he said. As a result, they have resorted to the process of “simply printing paper money.” He said America must meet its present defense costs out of cur rent production and not through the creation of new and additional supplies of money that can ‘“‘ut terly destroy our society.” This will call for “a great deal of char acter in our financial policy,” he added. ; Other speakers sharing the spot light with Mr. Bryan at the Insti tute Friday were C. B. McManus, president of the Georgia Power Company, and David Clark, presi dent of the Clark Publishing Com pany, Charlotte, N. C. Mr. McManus declared the ob iactive of Georgia Power is to*l ,help build a greater Georgia. Fore seeing more industrialization of, the state, he said Georgia Power has spent over 83 million doHars’ this year in expansion projects alone, and will expend over 48 million dollars in this manner next | year. He said that every business has four obligations that it must ful fill. These are its responsibilities to its employees, customers, citi zens of the cornmunity and own ers. Mr. Clark urged Southern states to provide facilities for training their young men in agriculture, engineering, and economics that |equal the facilities for -training teachers, lawyers, and doctors. He said the South is “concentrating solely on bringing more and more new industries to the South while giving little thought to the train ing of young men for the indus tries.” | At Thursday’s opening session |of the Institute, the industrial edi tors heard Carlyle Frazer, chair man of the board of directors of Genuine Parts Co., Atlanta, assert that “it is up to the industrial edi tors to explain and sell our coun try’s economy to the masses.” Last night at a welcoming ban quet, Charles N. Schmidt, assis tant director of advertising of United States Steel, addressed the group with a sound film on “Ef fectiveness of Trade Paper Ad vertising.” crifice in taking responsible posi nons> . A similar measure was rejected by the Senate last session at the time Congress approved a pay in crease chiefly for government workers in the lower salary brack ets. i The three senators are mem bers of the Civil Service Commit tee and Flanders said their propo sal represents two ‘years of study and planning. ! e ) ' The Negeb sector of southern Palestine is desert today but was thickly populated in ancient times.

Marshall Plan, Price Supports WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.— (AP) —SBtrong backing so the Marshall Plan, high support prices for farm products, ,and repeal of the Taft-Hartley law are indicated in a) !Associated Press survey of members of the new Congress, But sentiment runs against giv ing the President standby price control and rationing powers. Almost half of the men and wo men who will make up the 81st Congress expressed their views on major questions. Answers to all or some of the questions were given by 27 sena tors and 235 representatives who will serve in the new Congress. Not all of them would allow their names to be used, and many were undecided on some of the ques tions. Others qualified their an swers. Many said they reserve the right to change their opinions if devel opments between now and the time for actually voting indicate the need for a change. Four Questions The answers came from all over the country and reflected a cross section of Congressional thinking as of today on all four questions. Boiled down, here are the re sults: 1. Do you favor farm support at present levels? 135 Democrats and 53 Republicans said they do, several of them advocating even higher supports than the present 90 per cent of parity. Six Demo crats and 10 Republicans said they are opposed to price supports on basic farm commodities. 17 Demo crats and 27 Republicans were un decided, although some of them said they favor letting support prices drop to 60 per cent of pari ty after 1949 as provided in an Act passed by the 80th Congress. Price Control 1 2. Do you favor giving the President power to fix price con trols and allocations? 93 Demo crats and 4 Republicans said they do. 27 Democrats and 76 Republi cans said they do not. 37 Demo crats and 14 Republicans weren’t willing to comment. 3.
