FARMERS DISCUSS
BANGS DISEASE
ERADICATION
«> A group of farmers assembled
themselves at the Nahunta High
School on Tuesday night, Feb. 22 to
learn about the program that has
been set up by the Government to
help us eradicate one of the dread
ed diseases of cattlebangs disease.
Dr. Yeomans, of Waycross, ex
plained to us that our cows can be
tested at no expense to the owner.
Then after they are tested and the
herd is found to be free of the
disease, the young cows can be vac
cinated against it for life. This serum
is free also.
Any cows that might be ‘carriers”
of the disease will be appraised and
if the cows does not bring as much
as the appraisal, the government
will share a third of the loss.
Dr. Yeomans also explained to
us that a cow can be a “carrier”
and not lose her calf. This disease
is called Undulant Fever in people.
Let me urge every cattle owner
in Brantley County to contact Mr.
Moore of Hoboken or me at Na
hunta and let all of us make plans
to use this offer to help us improve
the health of our cattle.
In order to get this work done
it will be best for the farmers in
one section to have their cattle
tested on one day. We would like
to have between 50 and 100 cows
each trip. This does not mean that
they must be in one lot but on farms
that are close.
Your oniy expense will be to sup
ply a shute to hold the cows and
help do the work. If we can help
you, call on us.

OAK GROVE
METHODIST
HOMECOMING
“Home home sweet home”, was the
expression of the large crowd of
people, young and old, as they gath
ered to a little white church, which
is situated about half way between
Hortense and Atkinson in Brantley
county.
This church is known as Oak
Grove Wesleyan Methodist and Rev.
W. L. Snellgrove is the pastor. This
occasion was a Home Coming x>ay
Feb. 20, with a full program and
picnic dinner spread on the church
ground. The good people of the
community had made much prepa
ration and the church and grounds
showed this people had a nnnu. t~
work.
Rev. and Mrs. Snellgrove and
their family are real musicians and
have a well-trameu cmuui v.. .
which made music that was rear
enjoyed. The pastor brought a very
timely message on The First Home
God Instituted For Mankind. At the
close of the morning service the con
gregation was assembled for a group
picture taken at the front of me
church building.
The noon hour was a very plea
sant scene with the long table filled
with friends and loved ones. The
weather was ideal.
At the afternoon program a ru.
ber of the old hymns were sung, as
Mrs. Snellgrove witn an accu-i^.
and Mrs. Iris Smith at the piano ac
compied. Former pastors Rev. H. R.
Gunby of Brunswick and Rev. J.
M. Payne of Ashburn, Ga., spoke
words of appreciation of the present
pastor and the people.
The History of the Church was
given by Mrs. Nellie Long wmeu
proved the present building was
about 55 years old. Although re
pairs and improvements have been
made the original building with the
old church seats is the same built
by the charter members and frien s.
A number of the charter members ,
and former pastors were named. !
Words of appreciation and testi
mony of what this Old Oak Grove
Church had stood for, and what it I
had meant to their lives were ex- I
pressed by a large number both
young and old. Tribute of respect J
were made in honor of many who ,
have already passed to the Heavenly
City. ।
Home Coming Day was voted to
be held each year at this same time.
Special appreciations were .made
by the pastor to Mr. and Mrs.
Strickland, Mrs. Johnnie Campbell, j
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Jacobs and others
who made it possible for all to en
joy this good Home Coming Day.

Penalty Increased
For Over-planting
1955 Tobacco Crop
Public Law 425 which was approv
ed June 22, 1954, amended the
Agricultural Adjustment Act of
1938 to provide that in the case of
flue-cured tobacco the rate of pen
dty on the marketing of excess to-
Macco would be increased from 40
pet cent to 50 per cent of the aver
age market price and would be
come effective July 1, 1955.
The Tobacco Division of the Com
modity Stabilization Service advises
that the legislative history of the
amendment shows clearly that Con
gress intended that the increase in
me rate of penalty become effective
with the 1955 crop of flue-cured
tobacco, and further that the regula
tions wju proviue for the increased
rate of penalty on all flue-cured to
bacco produced in the calendar
year iVaa even tnough uie tooaccu
may be marketed prior to July 1,
1955.
The Tobacco Division also advises
that although the official price of
tobacco from the 1954 crop will not
>e available until the May Crop
xcepor t is issued, preliminary reports
indicate tnat tne average market
price of fiue-cured tobacco during
me 1954 55 marketing year was 52.7
cents per pound.
Therefore, it now appears that the
rate of penalty on the marketing of
excess flue-cured tobacco produced
in the calendar year of 1'955 will be
subject to a penalty of twenty-six
(26) cents per pound. The penalty
on the marketing of excess flue
cured tobacco p’-'-duced in 1954 was
twenty-one (21) ents per pound.
We are sure that this information
will be of interest to all tobacco
। growers, and especially those
that would have excess tobacco as
this is a preliminary report of the
indicated penalty rate for 1955 crop
tobacco.
