included: Mrs. T. G. Ritch of
Jesup, Mrs. Molly Highsmith of
Nahunta, Mrs. J. M. Boatright of

ASC Will Check
Records of Cotton
Ginners and Buyers
Ginners and buyers of cotton
must keep accurate records of
all transactions with cotton farm
ers, according to John F. Bradley,
administrative officer for the
Georgia Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation State Commit
tee.
ASC county personnel are now
in the process of instructing cot
ton ginners and buyers on the
records they are required by law
to keep. Later in the year ASC
personnel will check these rec
ords to see that they are being
kept as required. Failure to keep
required records or make re
quired reports to ASC will make
any person engaged in the busi
ness of purchasing cotton liable
for commission of a misdemeanor
and, if convicted under this
charge, they will be subject to a
fine of not more than SSOO for
each offense.
Regulations require that each
ginner shall keep as a part of
his business records, a record
showing with respect to each bale
or each lot of cotton ginned by
him, the date of ginning, the
name of the operator of the farm
on which the cotton was pro
duced, the name of the producer
of the cotton, the name and ad
dress of the person who delivered
the cotton to the gin in those
cases where the ginner has doubt
as to the accuracy of the name
of the farm operator or producer
of the cotton as furnished, the
county and state in which the
farm on which the cotton was
produced is located, the gin bale
number or mark, the serial num
ber of the gin ticket, the gross
of each bale of cotton, and the
kind of bagging and ties used on
each bale, if other than jute.
Buyers of cotton are required
to keep as a part of or in ad
dition to the records .maintained
by him in the conduct of his bus
iness, a record which shows with
respect to each bale of cotton
and each lot of cotton less than a
bale which is purchased by him,
the name and address of the pro
ducer from whom the cotton was
purchased, the date on which the
cotton was purchased, the orig
inal gin bale number or mark or
other information showing the
origin of the cotton, and in the
case of seed cotton purchased, the
number of pounds of seed cotton
and the known or estimated
amount of lint in such seed cot
ton, the number of pounds of
lint cotton in each bale, the
amount of penalty required to be
collected under the regulations
and the amount of penalty col
lected and the serial number of
the marketing card or marketing
certificate or a brief description
of the loan document by which
the cotton was Identified when
marketed
Buyers of cotton nave the re
sponsibility of collecting penalty
from the producer marketing the
cotton if penalty is due. Unless
the cotton is properly identified
to the buyer by means of a mar
keting card, a marketing certifi
cate or a loan document, the buy
er must collect or deduct the pen
alty on all such unidentified cot
ton he purchases.
Mr. Bradley stated that buy
ers and processors can save them
selves “a lot of headaches” if
they keep the required records,
as checks of their records will be
made and they will be required
to bring up to date any incom
plete records and will be liable
for the full penalty on cotton
purchased which is not properly
identified. Buyers may contact
their local ASC county office if
they have any questions on the
required records.

GAME

*
: FISH
By FULTON LOVELL
Director, Georgia Game and Fish Commission
ENJOY YOUR WATER— -
AND DRINK IT, TOO
AN adage almost as old as time itself says “you can’t
have your cake and eat it, too.” Add and subtract a
few words and the same theory will apply to water. Ex-

ing facilities.
What caused this sudden surge of recreational popu
larity ? Some experts feel a creeping lust for outdoor play
is sweeping the nation. Pleasure seekers, be they young
or old, are using Georgia’s lakes and impoundments more
than ever before for water skiing, swimming, camping,
boating and fishing. Many urban families have turned to
lake sites to bask in the sun or fish on weekends.
Big Boost To Economy
The demand for water for recreational use, as well as
industrial and commercial uses, is greater than ever before.
Industries use 60 billion gallons of fresh water every day;
25 trillion gallons are being used by farmers on irrigation
projects; power companies and affiliated groups use a great
deal of our water in providing electricity for homes and
industries. Yet, all of these combined have little effect on
water recreation.
Water sports have increased demand for new boat
ing equipment, fishing tackle and other equipment re
lated to water to such an extent that many merchants
deal exclusively with goods of this nature.
Addition of new reservoirs in Georgia has been a big
boom to small towns as well as large cities. Jim Woodruff
Reservoir, for example, will draw many tourists to com
munities surrounding the lake. This means additional
tourist courts, boat docks and resorts which, in turn, means
more business for merchants.
More reservoirs means that more Georgia fishermen will
be enticed to fish. Increasing number of fishermen will
boost fishing tackle sale and the sale of fishing licenses.
*****
Management Needed
No lake will look after itself. This is a theory proven
many times by Game and Fish Departments all over the
country.
The Georgia Game and Fish Commission is work
ing toward making Georgia lakes the most productive
in the country for fishermen. This long range program
demands the attention of several specialized fish tech
nicians, plus the attention of every fisherman in the
state.
But, aside from managing the fish in our impoundments,
the water must be protected, too.
In 1954, Governor Marvin Griffin appointed a Water
Use and Conservation Committee to study the water prob
lems of the state and how to combat them. Pollution,
utilization of water resources and lake management are
but a thimbleful of the areas the Committee have con
centrated their attention.

cept, you CAN enjoy your water —and

Until recently, the idea of using public
water supplies and reservoirs for recrea
tion was grudgingly agreed to by tech
nicians. However, modern trend is to
ward more water recreation, even on im
poundments where drinking water is
taken. Technicians have swapped their
frowns for smiles since they have dis
covered that recreation does not inter

Forty Years of Mass r^ducti<m
Farm history was made forty years ago when mass P™J»ction
of the Fordson tractor was started. Up to that time
too expensive for wide-scale use. The Fordson, like the Model T
Ford, was built on an assembly line with the economies of mass
production being passed on to farmers. The early Fordson ^“^’y
line at Dearborn, Mich., is contrasted in this picturewith the ^ der “
assembly line at Highland Park, Mich., on which Ford tractors
currently are built. Approximately 2ft million Ford-bmlt tractors
have been produced since the Fordson made its appearance.
