Congress rati fied last fall. This agreement establishes re duced quotas for exporting coun tries and restricts the importa tion of coffee which has resulted in an artificial “shortage” of coffee in the United States. Supposedly, this was meant to stabilize the price of coffee in the world market The agree ment supports the price of coffee at 1962 levels, preventing them from going lower, thus > giving economic aid to Brazil and other coffee producers. However, this price support program gives no protection whatever to the American con sumer. They are at the mercy of an international coffee cartel. I OPPOSED THIS agreement and voted against it in the Sen ate, because I felt it would cause coffee prices to go up, and the interests of the American consumer were being placed be low those abroad. There is no coffee shortage, despite what we hear about frost and drought damage to the crop in Brazil. The fact is, as the National Coffee Association points out, there is a world sur plus of coffee which would meet (not prtpartd or prints <U govomtMat oapoato) BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Land of Forest Products, Naval Scores. Tobacco, Livestock. Honey, Hunting, Fishing Brantley Veterans Benefits Totaled *18,448 in '63 Veterans’ benefits boosted the e conomy of Brantley County by $lB,- 443.79 last year, according to F. A. DeLeGal, Manager, of the Waycross office, Georgia Department of Vet erans Service. A breakdown of Veterans Admin istration payments made last year to veterans and their dependents in Brantley County shows: compensa tion and pension. $9,775.00; burial al lowances, $89.99; lump sum and other awards, $8,673.79. The Waycross Office also serves Charlton, Pierce, Clinch, and Ware Counties. Payments in the area ser ved by the Waycross Office totalled $279,172.19, last year, Mr. DeLeGal, said. Throughout Georgia, Veterans Ad minnistration benefits amounted to more than S2OO million last year. This was a SSO million increase over 1952. The big inrrease was due pri marily to the VA home-financing pro gram. “No Veterans Administration ben efit is granted automatically; each must be applied for”, Mr. DeLeGal, 'aid. He advised veterans and their dependents of Brantley County that the Department of Veteran" Service will assist any citizen in filing VA claims, at no fee. The Brantley Coun ty field office is located in the Wel fare Office, and Mr. DeLeGal’s itin erary schedule is the first and third Tuesday morning of each month. Valdosta Division Os Power Company Is Winner of Award The Georgia Power Company’s Valdosta division received the com pany’s Reddy Kilowatt load-building trophy for attaining a greater kilo watt-hour residential sales increase than any other of the company’s di visions during 1963; according to John J. McDonough, company chair man of the board. This is the fourth time the divi sion has won the trophy. C. W. Warner, vice president, Val dosta, received the award from Mr. McDonough at a presentation lunch eon in Atlanta. Under the direction of Mr. War ner, the Valdosta division last year showed an average per customer in crease of 357 kwh use of electricity. about 18 months of normal con sumption. The so-called shortage and resulting increase in prices has been caused by the export and import quota system created by the international agreement which is administered by the International Coffee Council in London. • • « WE HAVE SEEN happen just what those of us who opposed this agreement predicted would happen: The price of coffee has gone up, and for every one-cent rise in the cost, it means about S3O million annually in the in crease in the national consumer market, based on United States’ consumption of coffee of three billion pounds a year. It has been estimated that the wholesale price of coffee has in creased about 14 cents a pound, and this has been reflected in retail, prices in what has been estimated to be a 10-cent in crease. This would amount to some S3OO million a year more the American consumber is pay ing for coffee. This is a form of foreign aid, and it is not coming out of the U. S. Treasury but instead out of the consumers’ pockets. I think it is high time that we started giv ing some thought to our own citi zens, and while we stand willing to do whatever is reasonable and possible to help other coun tries financially, there is such,a thing as self-interest. . We are derelict in our respon sibilities to the American peo ple if we don’t give this more consideration in our dealings abroad. ^9. *44 4^*4- £ Tnjiiriner Phint The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, Feb. 27, 1964 Future Farmers Corn Contest The Nahunta Chapter holds a corn contest each year, in w'hich the win ner is based upon the highest num ber of bushels to an acre.

JOSEPH M. MURRAY Is Named STAR Teacher Patrick Wainright and Ruby Johns Are Named STAR Students in Brantley Future of Timber Industry Is Bright, Governor Declares ATLANTA — “We are on the threshold of unpredicted prog ress, not only in the timber in dustry, but in industrial expan sion as well,” Gov. Carl E. San ders told the 25th anniversary meeting of the Southern P u 1 p wood Conservation Association, held recently in Atlanta. Said he: “Since the Southern Pulpwood Conservation Association was founded 25 years ago, the pulp and paper industry has grown at an amazing rate such that today we in the South are producing 59 per cent of the nation’s yearly pulpwood harvest, a single year’s pulpwood purchase now totals $471-million, and the annual val ue of shipments from pulp and paper mills of the South amounts to approximately $2-billion. “This growth has been accura tely termed the “miracle of the forests,’ and it is not going to far to say that bigger and better miracles are on the way. “About the same time that this association was founded, all sorts of experts around the country were preaching a tale of doom for the South’s forest industry. They said that our forests were through as sources of income for our people. “But about that time the South began to produce a new breed of woodsmen who urged programs of fire prevention, reforestration, scientific selection of trees for harvest, and other progressive measures to assure productivity. “These professional foresters sought out the nearly two million private landowners in the region and urged them to plant new trees on idle land and attend carefully to the wise manage ment of existing forests lands. “Pulp and paper mills began to spring up around the South, and it suddenly became profit able to grow trees as a crop. “Today the South leads the entire world in pulpwood pro duction, and our forests are still growing. Today there are 80 mills around the South which employ over 90,000 workers and which pay out to the employees over $550-million. “But through the advanced techniques of forestry which have been sponsored by this as sociation the future will make the present seem like a dim past ... I congratulate you for the progress you have made for your selves and for the entire South.” Pork a Good Choice For February Meats Serve pork often during February, suggests the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Pork has been an important food since ancient times. Historians say that it was eaten by the Egyptians as far back as 3400 B. C. while the Chinese raised hogs for food as ear ly as 2900 B. C. In modem times, pork remains popular, and besides its natural tas te appeal, is an important source of high quality protein, niacin, and iron. USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service says foodshoppers will find generous supplies of pork at stores for February main course fare. A tempting mealtime treat sug gested by USDA is a scalloped pork dish. The recipe, which makes 4 generous servings, calls for 2 cups chopped cooked pork, 3 cups thinly sliced potatoes, 2 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper, 2 table spoons finely chopped onion, 1 can <lO% oz.) condensed cream of celery soup, % cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, % teaspoon pepper, % teaspoon sa vory, and % cup shredded cheese.

OFFICIAL ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTa Nahunta Girls Win 1-8 East Basketball Crown by Trimming Atkinson 58-53 Fertilizer Plays Important Part In Pasture Plan County Agent George A. Loyd pointed out this week that fertilizer plays an important economic role in this county’s Big M Pasture Pro gram. He said it is estimated that dairy farmers can realize their most economical milk production by pro viding 75 to 80 percent of the total feed nutrients required by their milk ing herd with high quality forage. Beef cattle growers can put them selves in the strongest possible eco nomic position by growing most of the total feed nutrients required by their cattle in the form of high qual ity grazing and hay. High per acre yields on pastures are necessary, he asserted, if our farmers are to produce milk and beef at low cost per 100 pounds of total digestible nutrients. In pasture production, usually, the higher the yield per acre is, the lower the cost of feed produced. When pastures are properly limed and fertilized the quality and nutri tive content of grazing will be great ly improved. This will be reflected in increased yields of beef and milk ner animal per acre, for even the cattle can tell the difference be tween good and poor grazing. In pas ture demonstrations, where adequate lime and fertilizer has been applied to certain areas, cattle will graze these areas in preference to unfer tilized areas.

Chapman, State Conser vationist, Soil Conservation Service, Athens. Following the presentation and dis cussion of the proposed work plan, the governing bodies of the four le gal sponsors will consider official ap proval of the proposals. If approved, the plan will be forwarded to^, Wash ington, D. C. for review by various Federal agencies and agricultural committees of the House of Repre sentatives and the U. S. Senate. Turtle River Watershed covers an area of 151,621 acres in Glynn, Brant ley, and Wayne Counties. Approxi mately 245 farms are located in the watershed. The major portion of the area is nearly level in topography. There is a lack of adequate facilities to re move excess water. This condition retards growth and reproduction of the more desirable trees; makes harvesting of timber, pulpwood and gum very difficult during wet sea sons; and damages crops, pastures, and roads in the watershed. The work plan of the proposed pro ject outlines measures which the sponsors feel will correct the long standing water problems and pro vide agricultural water management benefits to the entire area.
