More and More
Georgia Farmers
Using Irrigation
Irrigation 'is rapidly becoming
an important factor in the effi
cient production of farm crops
in Georgia, according to records
of the Agricultural Extension
Service University of Georgia
College of Agriculture.
Some 2,300 Georgia farmers
used irrigation on 75,000 acres
during 1956. They irrigated 18,-
531 acres of pastures, 1,800 acres
of tobacco, 8,500 acres of truck
crops, 6,000 acres of corn, and
1,000 acres of cotton.
Willis Huston, Extension agri
cultural engineer, said today that
this large increase in irrigation
can be attributed to, first, the
dry years of 1954 and '55 and,
second, to farmers’ acceptance of
irrigation as an economical
means of increasing production.
Huston pointed out that irri
gation also is recognized by more
and more farmers Us a valuable
means of protection against crop
failures which is becoming in
creasingly important as the cost
of crop production continues to
rise. Irrigation also helps pro
vide more efficient use of ferti
lizer, land and labor by increas
ing the quantity and quality of
crops produced, Huston said.
“As farmers are being called
on to produce food and fiber for
more and more people each year,
greater utilization of our vast
water resources is becoming of
utmost importance,*’ he declared.
Huston said that in order to
keep farmers up-to-date on the
latest research information on
irrigation Extension conducts re
sult demonstrations in strategic
counties each year to show farm
ers actual results from irrigation.
County agents also distribute in
formation through bulletins, the
press, radio and TV programs,
and give assistance to farmers
with irrigation problems upon
request.

Flue-Cured
Leaf Program
Is Announced
The flue-cured tobacco variety
discount program will continue
in 1958, and farm allotments in
most cases will be the same as
in 1957, George Dykes, chairman
of the Brantley County Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conserva
tion Committee, said.
The national allotment for the
1958 flue-cured tobacco crop is
set at 713,468 acres. Prices for
the 1958 crop of flue-cured to
bacco having quota characteris
tics of any of the seed varieties
designated as Coker 139, Coker
140, and Dixie Bright 244 will
be supported at one-half the sup
port rates for comparable grades
of other varieties.
This is a continuation of the
variety discount program in ef
fect for the 1957 crop. These
varieties have been classified by
scientists as “low to lacking in
flavor and aroma, generally of
light body, and(or currently with
poor acceptance in the trade.”
The chairman urges flue-cured
growers, as a protection against
the planting of mixed or inferior
seed, to get planting seed from
reputable and dependable sourc
es.
Mr. Dykes said that the slight
increase in the 1958 national
flue-cured tobacco allotment re
sulted from allowances for al
lotments to farms which have not
grown flue-cured tobacco during
the past five years, for correc
tions, and for adjusting inequi
ties among individual farm al
lotments.
Growers approved quotas for
the 1956, 1957, and 1958 crops of
flue-cured tobacco in a referen
dum on July 23, 1955. Marketing
quotas have been in effect for
flue-cured tobacco each year
since the enactment of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Act of 1938,
except for the 1939 crop, for
which they were disapproved by
growers. Flue-cured tobacco is
grown in North Carolina, Vir
ginia, Georgia, Florida and Ala
bama.
