Newspaper Page TextBrantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, February 23, 1961 Clearing the way for more kilowatts A BRIEF CEREMONY, and the first bulldozer moves in quickly, a thick crust of Georgia soil curling against the big blade. A new electric power plant is begun. This year tiie construction budget of the Georgia Power Company is the largest in its history— s6l million. Why? Everyone is using more electricity— in homes, stores, factories and on the farms. There is plenty of power for them to use, and there is plenty more on the way. For example, construction will be continued on Plant McDonough, a 500,000-kilowatt, steam-electric generating station near At lanta. When completed in 1964, this plant will produce enough electricity to serve about 540,000 homes. Existing power plants are being expanded. New ones are being planned. Construction every year includes many substations and hundreds of miles of transmission and dis tribution lines. It all adds up to the kind of electricity you want — abundant, dependable and at a price lower than ever.

ATlas 3-5144 YOU HOLD IT IN YOUR HAND... WATER WILDLIFEV FOR SALE Seek Competent Help with Taxes Federal income taxpayers of Georgia who seek professional assistance in preparing their 1960 returns should consult only qualified and competent firms or individuals, A. C. Ross, di rector of Internal Revenue for Atlanta District, advised today. Members of the accounting and legal professions usually provide top-notch assistance, Mr. Ross noted. Frequently, taxpayers find business associates in their booking and accounting depart ments, and in banks or other financial institutions are qualifi ed to help them, he pointed out. Mr. Ross suggests that tax payers seeking aassistance of a tax advisor in the preparation of their returns should: 1. Be sure the advisor has a permanent place of business or address. 2. Insist that the refund check be sent to you, except where circumstances require a power of attorney relationship. 3. Beware of those advisors who claim the ability to obtain large refunds, or who ask a per centage of an anticipated refund as a fee; and, 4. Reject those advisors who suggest claiming dependents or deductions to which you are not entitled. 5. Beware of anyone alleging influence over Internal Revenue Service. 6. Don’t rely on alleged pre vious experience with Internal Revenue Service. We fire employees every year; others resign for various reasons. National FFA Week Being Celebrated Georgia’s 17,384 Future Far mers of America, now celebrat ing their National FFA Week, earned almost three million dol lars last year from their super vised farming projects. These young farmers have invested in their individual farming programs $3,395,159. Across the nation the American people are paying tribute to the more than 380,000 FFA members in 9,000 local chapters during National FFA Week, February 18-25. “National FFA Week seeks to focus attention on the work of the Future Farmers today who ■will be the nation’s successful farmers of tomorrow,” points out State FFA President, Don Thompson of Greenville. “We always observe our National Week during the week of the anniversary’ of the birthday of George Washington, whose first love was his farm at Mount Ver non, for there he was one of the first in the nation to practice contour planting, crop rotation, and soil conserving methods.” Throughout the State local chapters are holding special school and civic club programs, FFA father-son banquets, and radio and television shows in observance of FFA week. FFA is the largest farm boy organization in the nation, and Georgia has the third largest membership. Membership i s made up of farm boys who are studying vocational agriculture in high school. The organization’s activities are designed primarily to help develop rural leadership and good citizenship, and to stimulate the boys to better a chievement in their study and work toward successful establish ments in farming. The Future Farmers have as their motto, “Learning to do, Doing to Learn; Earning to live, Living to serve.” As vocational agriculture students in high school, they study the practical, sceintific principles of agricul ture that will enable them to be come good farmers. Each mem ber is required to conduct a farming program at home, under the supervision of his vocational agriculture instructor, thus re ceiving practical experience to supplement his study. The su pervised farming program at home is designed to operate at a profit so that the Future Far mer may expand his farming en terprise as he learns, to the end that he will be successfully e stablished in farming and be come a self-supporting, substan tial citizen. As a result of their supervised farming projects, Georgia Fu ture Farmers own over 25,000 head of swine. They have appro ximately 5.900 dairy and 3,300 beef animals, largely registered breeding stock. They are culti vating over 23.800 acres in corn. 3.000 acres in cotton and 31,000 acres in temporary pasture. Last year FFA members in Georgia set out 3.253.329 pine seedlings. Eager to improve rural farm family living, last year they planted 29.036 shurbs and sodded 6.138,802 square feet of lawns while landscaping their home grounds, 1.174 boys painted their farm homes and 718 painted farm buildings. Researchers Undecided On Tobacco Chemical Washington Research work ers told the use Agriculture Committee Feb. s they b»”" reached no conclusions on whai effect the chemical MH-30 (maleic hydrazide) has on the quality of tobacco. The chemical is used to con trol sucker growth. Chairman Harold D. Cooley, D- N. C., of the committee said it now appears that conclusions will not be available by the time price supports are set for the 1961 to bacco crop. “I, of course, have no idea what perintent information, if any, might become available during the crop year, or what action might be taken,” Cooley said. In an effort to settle a contro versy over the effect of the chem ical upon tobacco quality, chair man Watkins M. Abbitt, D-Va., of the tobacco subcommittee called on the Department of Agriculture last May to engage in early and concentrated research. But some in the tobacco indus uy contend it hurts the quality of the leaf and reduces the accept ability of the tobacco. PIANO CLEARANCE SALE BARGAINS GALORE. Brand New Baldwin Built Spinets $495.
