The legislation also provides for a reduction in the following year’s allotment for any kind of tobacco if the producer files or aids or acquiesces in the filing of any false report with respect to the acreage of tobacco grown on his farm. In view of this, all growers should be advised to be sure that the performance report er measuring his tobacco acreage has obtained measurements on all areas of tobacco before signing the measurement report. Farm operators will be notified of the planted acreage of tobacco in acres and hundredths of acres and no tolerance will be allowed. For example: Acreage allotment is 2.4, measured 2.42, excess .02. In this case, the farmer will be required to dispose of two full hundredths (.02) of an acre to bring the farm within compli ance. When abnormalities are first noticed in the poultry flock, the grower should send at least three birds showing typical symptoms and a complete flock history to the nearest diagnostic labora tory.

He was grad uated in Agriculture by the Uni versity of Illinois and later spe cialized in marketing and farm management work.

He has a wide understanding of the turpentine field and its far-reaching ramifications. provide more roughage Sid Diamond, assistant dairy man for the University of Geor gia Agricultural Extension Ser vice, says Dairy Herd Improve ment Association records for 1954 indicate that too many Georgia dairymen, particularly among the lower producing herds, are not providing high quality roughage. This forces them to use high-cost concentrates, and the results are higher milk pro duction costs.

The Georgia Forestry Commis sion is making available its per sonnel to assit the local people in determining their forest pest situation. This state committee is simi lar to committees organized in several other Southeastern states where forest lands have been af fected by prolonged drought. The. U. S. Forest Service 1 com pleted a preliminary survey of the South Georgia area early this year. Another survey is planned for the near future to determine what steps may be necessary to combat the forest pest situation. At the present time, South Georgia shows an increase in forest pest damage because of re cent fires. Currently there is no evidence of any increased pest damage to timber in other sec tions of the state. There is no cause for alarm regarding tim ber operations in the state. The state committee is organiz ed to acquaint landowners with means and methods of estimating damage to their forest lands. The entire "operation is a preventive measure and if we experience another prolonged drought dur ing the coming summer, there is a possibility that the forest pest situation will increase in the damage to our southern forest lands.
