ATHENS, Ga. — A University of Georgia research team has come up with some interesting answers to the question of what’s wrong with business in small Georgia towns and cities. Much of the trouble stems from the attitudes of the mer chants themselves. The Univer sity research team reached this conclusion after an intensive study of the Thomasville retail trade area. The study was planned and con ducted by the University’s Insti tute of Community and Area De velopment and its Bureau of Business Research under the di rection of Dr. Carl T. Eakin, as sociate professor of marketing. The study showed that in Thomasville retail sales have not grown as fast. as those of some of the competing trade centers. Among the reasons given for this are the decline in plantation trade, lack of industrial develop ment, lack of retailer aggressive ness, slow population growth, slow income growth, poor rela tions with farmers, poor attitudes, and defeatism. The reasons are unimportant in themselves, the study points out. They are important only when something can be done a bout them. Among those conditi ons for which there is a remedy are poor relations with farmers, lack of retailer aggressiveness, and poor attitudes. The idea of many farm and county people in the Thomas ville area that the Thomasville merchants do not want them in their stores was found to be with out any basis in fact by the Uni versity researchers, but one which is nonetheless real. “Few people who have this at titude could cite a single incident where they personally had been treated in such a manner in a Thomasville store,” Dr. Eakin writes. “It is an attitude which can be changed.” He suggests retail aggressive ness as a possible solution to this problem as well as to the prob lem of defeatism. “Aggressive retailing can have a great effect on attitudes. A dynamic retailing community can create an atmosphere in an entire community of a moving, aggress ive, dynamic business climate which in turn creates the same attitude on the part of citizens.” The study said retailing could be improved through a better selection of merchandise, a more selective credit program, better use of advertising and promotion facilities, and use of more effe ctive salespeople. “Retailing is much like court ing,” Dr. Eakin points out. “The man who has the most to offer, and gets his message across, and asks most often for the maiden’s hand, is the man who comes a way with the bride.” Atkinson Church Revival Begins Monday Night Reverend Jackson Presley, pas tor of the First Pentecostal Holi ness Church of Waycross, will hold revival services beginning Monday, Nov. 5, in the Atkinson Community Church Building.

Reverend Presley attended Emmanuel College as Franklin Springs, Georgia. He received his B A. Degree in Psychology at Howard College and his M. A Degree at the University of Georgia.

Back in 1955, there was a good chance they came out of cold storage and were produced in another state. This is just part of the story of the growth of the Georgia commercial egg industry in re cent years. Now a lot of the eggs sold in other states come from Georgia hen houses. During this time the industry has grown from the point where Georgia had to import large quantities of eggs to its present status as a large exporter of eggs, according to Extension Poultryman Jerry Cox of the University of Georgia College of Agriculture. In 1955 Georgia brought in “about 20 per cent” of its egg re quirements, the poultryman esti mated. Accurate estimates o f the egg business were difficult even as late as 1955 because many were still produced by small home flocks and sold directly to customers. The percentage of out-of-state eggs that went through regular trade channels was even larger than 20 percent, he said. In 1961 Georgia sold to other states 22 percent of its commer cial egg production, reports by the Georgia Crop Reporting Service indicate. This i s a de cided shift in the way the money spent for this diet staple flows. Another way to show the growth of this business is that in 1955 the state ranking 18th in commercial egg production in the Unit e d States. The 1961 production of 2,400,000,000 eggs ranked fourth among the states and accounted for a gross income of $89,400,000. “A significant characteristic of this growth is that it has been orderly,” Mr. Cox pointed out. “It has come through the devel opment of larger, efficient farm units combined with the devel opment of effective marketing programs. Concentrating on quality production, the state’s commercial production has grown steady despite a declining per capita egg consumption.” Indications are that Georgia commercial egg production will continue to grow, and that Georgia eggs will continue to move into new markets in the country “as long as our producers continue to produce and market a quality product,” he said. 16 Amendments Up for Vote; No Local Contests on Ballot Brantley county voters will go to the polls next Tuesday for the fourth time this year, on this occasion to cast ballots in the 1962 general election. There are 16 constitutional amendments of statewide application to be voted on, but no contested races for public office are on the ballot. Diverted Acres to Be Released from Program Restrictions Beginning Nov. 1, most of the acreage diverted under the 1962 feed grain and wheat programs will be released from program restrictions on grazing, George Dykes, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, has announc ed. The authorization does not ex tend to (1) diverted acreage which is devoted to wildlife food plots, and (2) diverted acreage on which grain or oilseed crops have matured in 1962. The Chairman explained that the grazing restrictions are being relaxed as part of the general effort to keep provisions of farm programs in line with practical farming operations. Many farm ers normally salvage dropped corn ears and other crop resi due by turning livestock onto harvested cropland in the late fall. Since the diverted acreage on many farms is not fenced separately, the program change will permit these farmers to sal vage this feed without being put to unreasonable work time and expense for protective fencing. According to Mr. Dykes, the main objective of the ban against livestock on diverted acres has been to prevent grazing that might partially offset the corn, grain sorghum, and wheat ad justment under the diversion programs. With killing frosts likely by Nov. 1 over the main grain-producing area, the objec tive of the no-grazing ban would be satisfactorily met by that time. I n addition, the important period for protection of the di verted acreages also have passed in most areas, and there is small likelihood that conservation cover would be severely damaged by permitting livestock on this ac reage on or after Nov. 1. PRESERVING SWEET POTATOES Sweet potatoes, now available in quantity, are well suited for canning and freezing for out of-season use. They may also be pureed, says Miss Nelle Thrash, Extension food preservation spe cialist. Best results are obtained by using only sound, quality po tatoes that have been cured for two to four weeks. County home demonstration agents can give details on different ways to pre serve sweet potatoes. Tucker's Hair Stylists Finest Hair Styling Available — Air Conditioned Phone HO 2-2096, Nahunta, Ga.
