Seedlings Can
Be Ordered Now,
Robert Lane Says
Robert Lane, Butts County
forest ranger, points out that the
world’s largest population is due
to double by the year 2000 and
the use of wood and paper
products is already zooming as
tronomically. As the population
and standard of living increase, a
corresponding increase in wood
and paper products occurs.
The Southeastern Section of
the l.'nited States and in partic
ular Georgia, Lane stated, has
been referred to by the U. S.
Forestry Service as the Timber
Basket of the Nation due to its
timber growing potential. In
order to meet these heavy de
mands for wood, Ranger Lane
urges all Butts County landown
ers to reappraise their woodlands
to determine if each acre is fully
stocked. Kenneth Purcell, Farm
Forester for this area, is avail
able to assist landowners in de
termining their woodland plant
ing needs. Purcell may be con
tacted by calling the Butts Coun
ty Forestry Unit.

produced tree seedlings constitute
one of the best bargains in Geor
gia today states Ranger Lane. He
disclosed that approximately 35-
of this year’s seedling crop
has been sold. In view of this,
Lane said, landowners need to
place their orders immediately' to
insure the'r obtaining the species
needed for their lands.
Cost of the seedlings range
from $1.50 per thousand for
pines to $25.00 per thousand for
dogwoods and redbud. Seedling
price lists and order blanks may
be found at the Butts County
Forestry Unit. Ranger Lane said
that they may also be obtained
at the ASCS Office, county
agent’s office and SCS Offices

Big Buck Country
Where there’s no limit on
new industrial development
More than 70 percent of Georgia is woodlands.
There’s room for growth. Our whitetail deer, for
example, reach 300 pounds and more.
Markets grow big in Georgia, too, and so do
the industries that serve them.
And some of the best guides for plant-site
hunting are Georgia Power’s industrial develop
ment representatives. They’re career men at
this. They either have or can track down the
information a prospect needs.
Our industrial development men value team
work, too. They coordinate their efforts with
those of other business concerns, government
agencies and chambers of commerce.
No wonder pinched-for-space industries are
coming to Georgia in record numbers. The
horizons are wide here. For industry the land
is young and promising.
That’s why we urge industrial site-hunters
to lift their eyes from crowded confines and to
take a look at big buck country.

On The Farm
Production
Front
BY CARL BRACK
Butts County Agent
they will vote
on several amendments to the
Georgia Constitution.
I would like to call one of
these amendments—Amendment
19—to your attention, because
it concerns products we consume
. . . and the farmers who grow
those products for us.
Amendment 19 has to do with
Agricultural Commodity Commis
sions. At the present time there
are eight of these—for apples,
cotton, eggs, milk, peaches, pea
nuts, sweet potatoes and tobacco.
What Amendment W'oud Do
Passage of Amendment 19 next
week would mean that producers
of these eight commodities could
continue their commissions and
commission programs. In addi
tion, it would give producers of
other products—such as live
stock, timber and seafood—an
opportunity to create new com
missions.
A “Yes” vote on Amendment
19 is not a vote for Agricultural
Commodity Commissions. It mere
ly will give the producers the
right to self determination.
Whether the present commissions
are continued, and whether new
commissions are created, would
be up to the growers of the com
modities in question. A majority
of the producers of a particular
commodity, through a referen
dum, would have to express a de
sire for the commission. Amend
ment 19 would give them the op
portunity to hold such a referen
dum.
Costs Consumer Nothing
Then, if they voted to have a
commission, they would pay for
it themselves. No public tax
money is involved in organizing
or conducting the program of any
Agricultural Commodity Commis-
Vote 7/> on Amendment 19
November sth
/ Amendment 19
What is AMENDMENT 19?
1. AMENDMENT 19 gives producers of various commodities the
right to determine whether they will establish Commissions to
assess themselves to conduct research, promotional, and educa
tional programs to improve the production and marketing of their
products.
2. Past experience indicates that the CONSUMER secures a better
product because of the work of COMMISSIONS.
3. This WILL NOT increase taxes or prices. All expenses are paid by
the producers.
AMENDMENT 19 has to do with the various Commodity Commissions. A
Commodity Commission comes into being when the producers of a commodity
thru a referendum vote to have a Commission.
The primary purpose of a Commodity Commission is to improve the pro
duction and marketing of the product with which it is concerned. This means
that the Consumer receives at the market a higher quality product. This is
done through programs of research, education, and promotion. These pro
grams help the producer by reducing the amount of poor quality products
going on the market. They help the Consumer by assuring him of a higher
quality product.
And remember, the producer pays the cost of the Commission by assess
ing himself so much per unit of production to defray the costs of the program.
The Commissions do not increase taxes or prices since the producer pays the
cost. There are now eight Commodity Commissions in Georgia. These deal
with peanuts, tobacco, cotton, eggs, milk, sweet potatoes, peaches and
apples. AMENDMENT 19 will also provide for producers of other agricultural,
forest and fishery products to form Commissions.
We would strongly urge that you vote "yes" on AMENDMENT 19 which
merely gives the producers of a Commodity the right of self determination.
A vote for AMENDMENT 19 does not mean that you are voting for Commis
sions, as valuable as they are. It merely means that yoy are giving the pro
ducers of Commodities the right to form Commissions it they so desire.
The producers of Apples. Cotton. Eggs, Milk. Peaches, Peanuts,
Sweet Potatoes and Tobacco ask that you PLEASE
VOTE YES
on AMENDMENT 19

sion. Producers of the commodity
pay the entire cost by assessing
themselves a small fee on each
unit of production.
As county agent, I have had
the opportunity to observe the
work of these commissions. Their
primary purpose is to improve
the production and marketing of
the products with which they are
concerned. The commissions do
this through programs of re
search, education and promotion
—all of which the commissions
themselves pay for.
Means Better Quality
One result of these programs
has been better quality food and
fiber products for the consumer.
And I might add, at no extra
cost. In fact, I beleive the com
missions have been responsible
for lower prices in some in
stances. This is because of lower
costs, brought about by increased
efficiency in production and mar
keting. Eggs, for example, are
18.1 percent less expensive to
day than ten years ago.
I believe Amendment 19 will
have a lot to do with future pro
gress of Georgia agriculture. I
would like to see our farmers
given the chance to continue or
organize commodity commissions
if they want to. Especially since
it won’t cost the consumer any
thing.
