Judge Head To
Seek New Term
For Ordinary
Judge G. D. Head, Butts County
Ordinary, announced and qualified
this week as a candidate for re-elec
tion in the primary of March 28. This
is the only announcement for that
office and at this time it is not
known if Judge Head is to have op
position.
First elected in 1932 to succeed
Joel B. Mallet, who was named as
the successor to Judge J. H. Ham,
Judge Head has been re-elected each
succeeding four years and in point
of service is one of the oldest offi
cials in the county. His conduct of
this important office, concerned with
the administration of estates, ap
pointing of guardians and probating
of wills, as well as recording of vital
statistics, has met with the approval
of a majority of the county’s voters.
In his official capacity Judge Head
has been courteous and obliging and
many grand juries have commented
on the neat manner in which his rec
ords are kept.
Judge Head is widely known over
the county and has a large number
of personal and political friends who
will accord him support in the March
primary.
Farms Decrease
In Number But
Gain in Size
Butts county had an average of
102.8 acres per farm with a value of
$4,000 for land and buildings, ac
cording to the latest census. The
county ranked 124th in relation to
the other counties in the state. The
value of buildings and land per acre
was $40.43.
The average farm in Georgia for
1950 was 129.9 acres, according to
fan announcement by Tommy Walton,
University of Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service.
Walton, in quoting from the cen
sus prepared by the U. S. Depart
* ment of Commerce, states that value
of land and biuldings per farm rang
ed from $18,863 in Glynn county to
$832 in Clay. Fifty-three counties
had a per farm value of land and
buildings of over $6,000.
The average farm in Georgia is
growing in number of acres but the
number of farms is decreasing, he
stated. Some 27,706 farms disap
peared from the scene from the per
iod 1945 to 1950.
The counties that ranked at the
top in value of land and buildings
per acre are DeKalb, Muscogee, Clay
ton, Fulton and Cobb in that order.
Walton asserted that the fact that
these counties were largely urban
might tend to have some influence on
the high value. Forty-five counties
in the state had an average of SSO
per acre for land and buildings.
County’s Cotton
Crop Is Larger
Butts county ginned 3,478 bales of
cotton from the 191 pl crop in con
trast to 3,017 bales from the 1950
crop, according to figures released
by the Atlanta office of the US Bu
reau of the Census. The figures rep
resent ginnings through January 16.
Ginnings in counties in this area
and comparisons with 1950 show:
Fayette, 3,275 and 2,611; Henry, 13,-
768 and 8,910; Jasper, 4,397 and 3,-
841; Lamar, 2,271 and 1,643; New
rton, 4,663 and 4,272; Spalding, 3,-
775 and 2,243.
