Financial Security Gained By FSA
Family Through Balanced Farming
Hartwell, Ga., Jan. 23.—Truitt
Garner and his wife found their
pot of gold but it wasn’t at the
end of the rainbow. It was at the
end of four years of hard work
during which time every modern
agricultural practice was used to
gain their objective—a home of
their own.
Last year they were taken on the
tenant purchase program of the
Farm Security Administration after
three years on the rehabilitation
program and today they own a 60-
acre farm in the Airline district of
Hart county, plus anew six room
house with electricity and running
water.
Balanced farming and living at
home did the trick. Each year Gar
ner makes ample privisions for food
and feed for family and livestock.
He rotates his crops so that every
four years he will have some soil
building crop on every acre of his
land. Lespedeza and kudzu are
strong favorites of Garner and
coupled with soil conserving prac
tices of meadow and border strip
ping his farm approaches a soil
technician’s dream.
Mrs. Garner is forgetting how the
interior of a grocery store looks,
going in one only for the very few
things they do not raise. In 1940
the Garners sold over $26 worth of
eggs, $l2B of dairy products, $23
of meat, $29 of poultry, $23 of live
stock, and $9 of other farm prod
ucts to bring them a cash income
of $238.
They are beginning this year with
80 chickens and a brooder house of
500 capacity which will be filled

WHAT ADVERTISING COSTS
The advertising expenditure on a
nationally advertised sheet that re
tails for $1.75 is lc.
On a shirt costing $1.95, the ad
vertising expense is 64-100 of lc.
A company selling a nationally
known breakfast food spends 3-10
of lc per 15c package of advertis
ing.
It costs 1-5 of lc to advertise a
well known soap costing 7c a cake.
Out of 10c that the consumer
pays for a package of well-known
brand of crackers, the advertising
expense is less than 1-10 of lc.
The cost of advertising a 12c can
of soup is 36-100 of lc.
When a consumer buys a 5c glass
of what is probably the best known
of all soft drinks, the sum of 1576-
100,000 of lc goes for advertising.
The advertising expenditure on a
loaf of bread costs less than the
wrapper to keep it clean.
If advertising was dispensed with,
costs to consumers would increase,
not decrease. Even if a particular
industry was able to maintain mass
production, its other selling costs
would increase far in excess of its
advertising appropriation. Experi
ence has demonstrated that adver
tising decreases other costs of dis
tribution, particularly costs of per
sonal selling.
