Ki Farm Picture in Georgia Showed Changes in 1962 Facts and figures from state and ;deral agencies began pouring in iriy this month, bringing Georgia’s 132 agricultural picture into focus, nd while farming remained the ate's largest single business, the iture was not as bright last year the year before. Total farm receipts in 1932, in uding $33.6 million in government lyments, came to $790.6 million >moared to $797.5 million in 1961 Income from farm marketing de ined $13.5 million last year. Live ock sales were up by $12.4 million, t crop sales dropped $26 million 11 told, Georgia farmers marketed ’57 million worth of products in ’62. ompared with $770.5 million in '6l The state's ten major crops ha valve of $337 million, $33 million n’er the figure of a year ago. Lower acreage and weather con ition were cited a 3 the main causes f the lower crop in-ome. Paul C.- :t nee. market information and out :ok specia'ist for the University o r leorgia’s Cooperative Extension Ser ice. pointed out that pecans were o. n in value by $9 million, corn bj 11 million and peanuts by $3 million iay, vegetab'es and oats also wen own. Acreage diverted to soil con erving uses because of parti ipatior n the feed grain program reduced orn by 553,074 acres, sorghum by 1.000 acres. While 1962 brought a temporarj break in the upward trend of Geor pa’s farm income, some develop nents that started as far back a 1920 continued in the same direction ast year. Farm numbers, for example. Dur ng 1962 the number decreased to 100,000. As the number of farms 'ecreased, their size increased \nd so did their value. Last year, according to Mr. Bunce, the per acre /alue of Georgia farms was 7 per ■ent higher than in 1961. Another trend that stayed on the ame course in 1962 was the decline n farm workers. An average of 160,- 00 people were employed on Geor gia farms last year. Os these 115,006 vere operators or family members. Inly 45,000 workers were hired. Sin e 1959, Mr. Bunce pointed out. f amily farm workers have been re luced by 38,000 and hired workers ay 9,000. One increasing item last ear, however, was farm wages Vorkers earned 4 percent more pc. tour in 1932 than in 1961. To increase their productivity and at the same time lower production ■osts, Georgia farmers continued 'heir mechanization pace. Mr. Bunce aid the primary increases were in larvesting machines, feed handling equipment, and conversion from wo-row to four-row planters and ultivators. Evidence that the humped-backed, ack-dragging cotton picker is fast lisappearing from the Georgia farm scene is the fact that 400 new me ■hanical harvesters were purchased a>t year. Mr. Bunce said this re presents an investment of about $4 nillion. Both the number and value of ivestock went up in 1932. Cattle rea died 1.496,(XX) head —and increase of 1 percent. Milk cows declined 2 ■percent to 221,000 head, while beef pattle increased. According to Mr. Bun e, 71 percent of the cows and heifers two years old or over are beef type animals. In 1954 this was true for only 56 percent of the state's cattle. The value of cattle and calves in Georgia increased 3 percent to ?155.584,000 on January 1, 1963. Chicken numbers, not counting commercial broilers increased to 17,- 428,000-causing Georgia to be the Ith ranking state in the nation. Val- ue of chickens increased 14 percen over 1961. Broiler production reached a new record—3s3.6 million head, with a value of $l6B million. Egg production was near the SIOO million mark. 4-H Recreation Ciub to Danes At Festival The Nahunta Knee Knockers 4-H Recreation Club will perform at the Florida Folk Festival Saturday. May 4.

F. B. Cates, Extension horticul turist with the University of Georgia, said the new varieties are the result of continuous breeding work and variety test ing at Georgia and other south eastern experiment stations. Centennial, a new high-yield ing, low-fiber sweet potato, has been added to the recommended list for ’63. “Because of its low fiber,” Cates explained, “it has good acceptance by processors.” He called Centennial “a dual purpose sweet potato” having ac ceptance by both processors and the fresh market. Cates pointed out that the new variety does not have a red skin. He said the standard storage variety, Georgia Red, should be grown for markets which demand a red skinned potato. Carogold is another good yield ing sweet potato that has been added to the recommended list for this year. Cates said this variety is very smooth and has good internal quality, but added that it is not a good plant pro ducer. The horticulturist cautioned growers not to plant their en tire acreage in these two new sweet potato varieties. He point ed out that market channels for new varieties have to be estab lished. He suggested that grow ers try Centennial or Carogold only on a portion of their 1963 sweet potato acreage. Two new Southern pea varie ties being recommended are Pro ducer and Topset. These are the results of continuous variety test ing by Dr. Blake Brantley, hor ticulturist at the Georgia Experi ment Station, Griffin. Producer is a brown seeded semi-crowder that is a very high yielding pea for fresh market production. In Dr. Brantley’s tests it averaged over 6,000 pounds per acre for four years. This was over 2,000 pounds more than the second highest variety. Topset, a cream type pea, is suggested for both fresh market and processing. This variety bears its pods well above the foliage, and thus is suitable for mechanical harvesting. Producer and Topset are two of 13 recommended varieties of Southern peas. Cates said grow ers should contact their county agents for complete information on new or older varieties. A new sweet corn variety is Staygold. Proven to be a super ior yellow variety in tests at the Georgia Experiment Station, it is recommended for middle Georgia. The Marion tomato was added to the list of recommended var ieties in 1962, and this outstand ing variety is adapted to all areas of Georgia. Cates said Marion is similar to Rutgers in fruit shape and foli age, but added that it has sup erior disease resistance and pro duces higher yields. The horticulturist predicted that Marion will replace Rutgers for commercial production in Georgia in the next few years as growers become more fami liar with this tomato. Cucumbers have entered the space age with a new variety called Polaris. Recommended for the coming season, Polaris has fruit and vine growth similar to Ashley. Cates said it has sup erior resistance to downy and powdery mildew and to anthra cnose. He added that Polaris con sistantly out-yielded three other leading cucumber varieties for four years in cooperative trials by southern experiment stations. Cates emphasized that it is always a good practice for grow ers to try new varieties on only a part of their acreage the first year. "Acreage of a new variety can be increased the second year if it performs and sells up to its expectations.” he said. We Do All Kinds of JoS Printing. Let Us Ouote You Prices.
