Political
Announcements
For Representative
TO THE VOTERS OF
BRANTLEY COUNTY:
I hereby announce my candi
dacy for the State House of Rep
resentatives from Brantley Coun
ty, subject to the rules and reg
ulations of the Democratic Pri
mary to be held on September
10th, 1958.
I have lived in what is now
Brantley County all of my life,
I have been a member of your,
school system for 20 years, con
stantly working to have better
educational opportunities for the
children of Brantley County.
You honored me when I was
elected your Representative, and
I have constantly worked for the
progress of Brantley County,
helping secure road contracts,
some of which are under construc
tion, and contracts for the con
struction of other roads will be
let in a few days. I shall contin
ue these efforts, working for the
good of all citizens.
Brantley County now stands on
the threshold of even greater
progress in schools, and roads. I
earnestly solicit the opportunity
to be part of this, by serving as
your Representative in the Gen
eral Assembly of Georgia.
Your vote and active support
in my behalf will be greatly ap
preciated.
Sincerely Yours,
J. Floyd Larkins.
TO THE VOTERS
OF BRANTLEY COUNTY
This is to announce my candi
dacy for Representative from
Brantley County in the election
to be held in September.
For thirty years I have been
connected with the educational
farming and forestry affairs of
our county. This experience gives
me a good understanding of the
problems facing us today. I am
particularly concerned about the
waste and corruption in our
State and Federal governments,
and the constant increase in the
already heavy tax burden being
placed on our shoulders. We are
only kidding ourselves when we
create “authorities” to sell bonds
to enable them to go into all
kinds of activities. Those bonds
are obligations of the state of
Georgia and we will eventually
have to pay them through an
increasing tax load on us.
If you see fit to elect me as
your representative, I shall do
everything within my power to
eliminate corruption in state af
fairs and to stop the rapid in
crease in taxes we are blindly
placing on ourselves and our
children.
I consider it an honor to rep
resent Brantley County in Atlanta
and I shall appreciate your vote
and influence in helping me win
this race.
Yours Sincerely,
E. L. Sears

Flue-Cured Leaf
Is Noted for
Sugar Content
Outstanding among the grades
of tobacco used in the production
of domestic cigarettes is flue
cured tobacco — particularly the
kind grown in South Georgia and
Pierce county. The tobacco is
noted for its high sugar content.
Relatively free from gum, flue
cured tobacco is not heavy and
gummy but is instead of a light
body, of fine texture, and oily.
These factors make South Georgia
grown tobacco a desirable type
to use in the manufacture of cig
arettes.
Cigarette manufactures prefer
bright lemon yellow tobacco, fol
lowed by orange and red. They
also seek mild aromatic qualities.
Tobacco grown in the United
States is divided into 25 types,
of which flue-cured is only one.
Others include fire-cured and air
cured, both used in the produc
tion .of cigarettes.
A small amount of shade-grown
tobacco is produced in Georgia
but only in a small area, as the
culture of the leaf is highly spec
ialized. Cost of raising this type
of tobacco exceeds that of any
other variety.
Flue-cured tobacco production
is centered in Georgia, Virginia,
North and South Carolina, and to
a small extent in Alabama.
July 31 Last Day
To Redeem 1957
Crop Loan Cotton
Farmers have until July 31 to
redeem their 1957-crop loan cot
ton, John F. Bradley, administra
tive officer of the State Agricul
tural Stablization and Conserva
tion Committee, reminded farm
ers today. After the close of busi
ness on that date, Bradley de
clared, all 1957-crop cotton which
is still under loan will be pur
chased by the Commodity Credit
Corporation.
Bradley urged county farmers
to keep informed about local
cotton prices so that each grow
er can determine the best course
for him to follow. Cotton prices
have been running fairly steady,
he said, and the current market
is sufficiently high so that the
better qualities of loan cotton
are worth more than the value
of the loan and charges. Produ
cers should therefore be able to
realize some profit from dispos
ing of such cotton before the
loan matures.
Until the maturity date of the
cotton loan on July 31, producers
have three choices in disposing
of their 1957-crop loan cotton,
Bradley explained. They may
(1) sell their “equity” in the
loan cotton, (2) redeem the cot
ton from the loan and sell the
crop in the open market, or (3)
leave the cotton under loan, and
it will be purchased by CCC.
In recent weeks, redemptions
of the loan cotton throughout the
country have been running about
50,000 bales a week. As of June
20, a total of almost 768,000 bales
had been redeemed, leaving a
bout 2.9 million bales still under
loan.

Farmers Exert Extra Effort
To Produce This Year's Leaf
In a few days the 1958 tobacco
market will open and the chant
of the auctioneer will be heard
throughout the Georgia-Florida
Bright Leaf Belt.
Farmers will be piling trucks
high with bulging burlap sheets
and moving the load to market.
They will see that it is weighed
in and on the floor and will make
plans, if need be. to spend the
day in town on selling day. When
the parade of buyers move down
their row they are certain to be
on hand — it’s important to
catch the eye of the warehouse
men.
This year, like any other year,
the farmer needs top-price for
every basket he sells.
The leaf crop now being har
vested, cured and packed down
for the market that opens on July
29, has been produced under
some of the most difficult cir
cumstances Pierce county grow
ers have experienced.
The difficulty began with the
growing of plants in an extreme
winter season topped off with a
two-inch snow on February 13.
Then came the rains, delaying
plowing, and putting worry
wrinkles on farmers’ brows.
With planting running from two
to three weeks late, farmers
made every effort to find enough
plants to put out their acreage
allotments.
The young struggling plants
once in the open fields, again fac
ed late season cold spells and
too much rain. Replanting was the
rule and not the exception.
As the tiny weeds grew they
were attacked by a variety of
bugs and farmers were kept on
the alert to stop new outbreaks.
With cloudy days and rains fall
ing, dusting and spraying became
a major problem as well as add
ed expense.
Most farmers had planted their
patches on the highest ground
they had, so in spite of the rain
very little was reported as drown
ed. Instead most crops, once
warm weather came, grew off
fast, and were ready for har
vesting in a few weeks.
The introduction of the tobacco
harvester a few years ago and
its increased popularity each year
has helped out with the labor
shortage. Though in some cases
labor has been scarce, most farm
ers by swapping work with their

neighbors, have managed pretty
well.
For numerous farmers the main
harvest problem has been the
fast ripening of the leaf, in many
cases before curing barns could
be made available. The result has
been borrowing barn room from
a neighbor or rushing up the
getting-in-order process.
The saying, “Where there’s a
will there’s away”, certainly
applies to Pierce county tobacco
farmers this year. They managed
to control the insects pretty well,
and in spite of the pnusual
weather conditions and the us
ual number of harvesting head
aches they have made a good to
bacco crop.
When the auctioneer’s chant be
gins on the morning of the 29th
most of the farmer’s leaf prob
lems will be behind him. The
rest will be easy.
He’ll enjoy loading up and
hauling his leaf, .to town. He’ll
be on hand to see that his to
bacco brings the highest possible
price. And he won’t mind wait
ing around for the check after
his baskets are sold.
MAKE-UP FOR EVERY AGE
Miss Avola Whitesell, clothing
specialist, Agricultural Exten
sion Service, says the purpose
of make-up is to enhance the ap
pearance; to accent, change, or
beautify the facial characteris
tics. For the young girl, make-up
should be natural; in the 20’s
and 30’s it should be smartly
sophisticated, and as one grows
older it should be subtle and
flattering.

Child Labor
Rules for
Warehouses
Federal regulations place a
hard hand and fast ban on em
ployment of most children un
der 16 in tobacco warehouses.
Jobs for children under 16, but
not under 14, are restricted to
three warehouse occupations.
These jobs are ticket or tag boy
water boy, and sweeper.
Special regulations prohibit
employment of these younger
children for more than eight
hours daily and 40 hours week
ly when school is not in session.
Stricter hours apply during school
terms. Their employment .must be
confined to hours between 7 a
m. and 7 p. m.
Other activities around tobacco
warehouses can generally be leg
ally performed by those 16 years
old and up. Certain hazardous oc
cupations, however, raise the hir
ing age to at least 18. These in
clude driving or helping oh a
motor vehicle, and operating a
fork-lift truck, each of which has
been found by the Secretary of
Labor to be particularly hazard
ous.
Young persons who are partic
ularly interested in securing
warehouse jobs and whose age
might be in question should bring
along their birth certificate when
they make application.
