Marketing Procedures to
Be Different This Year
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service officials in
Georgia tobacco-growing counties
have explained marketing card
changes to be in effect during the
sales season which started Wed
nesday.
Most cards have been mailed
to farmers. The cards show how
many pounds a tobacco farmer
will be allowed to sell.
The major change is that mar
keting cards must be taken to the
tobacco auction warehouses at the
time the piles of leaf are weighed
in. Formerly cards were present
ed only at the time the farmer
picked up his check for the sales.
ASCS officials said that more
than one card may be issued to
a farm this year where the oper
ator wishes to sell at more than
one market. If more than one

are limited to the total quota for
the farm.
The marketing card change is
required in order to help farm op
erators and producers who cash
rent tobacco acreage to avoid
placing tobacco in excess of the
poundage quota on the warehouse
floor, officials said.
This will require tobacco ware
housemen to have identification
of tobacco by means of the mar
keting card at the time of weigh
ing in. The warehouse is prohibit
ed from selling tobacco unless
the producer’s marketing card is
left in custody of the warehouse.
ASCS officials said that the
marketing card for most farms
will allow as much as 110 per
cent of the farm poundage quota

price support will be available.
Tobacco marketed in excess of
the assigned quota will be deduct
ed from the farm poundage allot
ment next year. If marketing is
less than the assigned pounds for
this year, the farm quota will be
raised by the amount of the dif
ference next year.
Marketing in excess of the farm
quota may be done automatically
except in the case of marketing
cards issued for farms for which
the farm or tobacco acreage is
rented for cash.
In these cases, the marketing
will be limited to the assigned
number of pounds, unless a writ
ten statement is filed with the
county ASCS office. This state
ment must be filed by the farm
operator, and tenant if other than
the operator, and the farm owner
that they agree to permit market
ings up to but not above 110 per
cent of the farm poundage quota.
IS IT RIPE?
The best indicator of whether
a peach is ripe is the ground
color — not the blush or degree
of redness. Miss Nellie Boyd, Ex
tension home economist — nutri
tion, suggests looking for peaches
with a whitish or yellowish ground
color. Only a few varieties are
red all over, she adds.

BETTER LIVING FOR FAMILIES PROVIDED
Growing Force of Working Wives
And Mothers Find Many Benefits
The working wife and mother,
like her pioneer forebears, is
seeking the best the world has to
offer for her family and herself.
It may not be the easiest way to
live, but it has distinct advan
tages, according to a current re
port.
Findings include that she says
she works for the money mostly,
but also for stimulation and her
main problem is finding time e
nough for everything that must
be done. She’s among 16,000,000
working women, according to the
current issue of Changing Times
magazine.
To survey working wives and
mothers in 35 states the monthly
Kiplinger publication joined with
the Bureau of Laundry and Dry
Cleaning and queried a random
sample of about 600. Asked why
they work, a solid 88% listed a
financial consideration first. The
three most frequent were: to pro
vide better living for the family;
provide for the children’s educa
tion; and, to get out of debt.
Even those working for financial
consideration revealed a second
ary interest when asked in an
other question “why do women
like to work outside the home?”
Replies were heavily weighted
with such comments as “it keeps
them better informed” or “it
keeps them young.”
Although 63% of the wives re
port they are able to get the
necessary tasks done at home
with a feeling of satisfaction and
a minimum of fatigue, they can
didly admit that they don’t have
enough time.
Half of those surveyed think
“schools should place more em
phasis on the dual role of a work
ing wife or mother,” and they
readily say why: “Schools are
unrealistic in educating girls —
most women are trained for one
role or the other, but never both.”
Almost unanimously, they think
girls should be taught time as
part of their education.
Lacking extra hours, how do
they cope? More than half report
that they get help from husbands
and children. In addition, they
use an average of three outside
services apiece. Most common
are dry cleaning and laundry,
home delivery of dairy products,
and beauty parlors.
Despite the lack of enough
hours in the day 67% of the moth
ers told Changing Times they
manage to have some unhurried
time for each child. Although
only 50% have unhurried time for
themselves, they do manage to
read air average of three maga
zines regularly and to participate
in church or community activi
ties.
The majority regard the wife’s
salary as family income, to be
applied where it is needed most
and a high 90%, reports Chang
ing Times, say they are achiev
ing the goals they set when they
went to work.
Dean Says Take
Sales Tax From
Farm Machinery
Senator Roscoe E. Dean, Jr.,
today pledged that he will support
legislation to remove the State
sales tax from the cost of farm
machinery and equipment.
He stated in a speech before
the Farm Equipment Association
meeting in Jekyll Island that
many other states have such an
exemption as this.
Senator Dean said that in the
years to come, farm machinery
and automation will be playing an
increasingly vital role in agricul
ture. “Only through the use of
modern farm machinery can one
family operate the size of farm
best suited to survive. And the
family farm is one characteristic
of Georgia agriculture that we all
seek to preserve.”
He said, “In these days of in
creased centralization of power,
we need to provide our small
farmer with the necessary tools
so that he can stand on his own
two feet and not be dependent
upon anyone.”
The removal of the sales
tax, he said, will allow more
and more independent farm
ers to afford the necessary
farm machinery. (Adv.)
HONEY OF A CROP

Q. How can I judge the amount
of wallpaper needed for a room?
A. Figure the area of each wall
(height x width) and add these
together. Subtract the area of
doors and windows. Multiply by
1.1 to take care of waste and
matching. You now have the
square feet to be covered in the
room. If the paper you have se
lected comes in double rolls, di
vide by 72; if single roll, divide
by 36. These figures represent
the square feet areas covered by
the different size rolls. If your
answer calls for a fraction of a
roll, you’ll have to buy a roll
to get the fraction you need.
Q. It is all right to name a child
as a beneficiary of life insurance
policy?
A. Naming a youngster as a
beneficiary (or as a contigent
beneficiary) is not unusual. But
keep in mind that there may be a
legal involvement if benefits be
come payable before a child
comes of age. If this occurs, the
life insurance proceeds must be
paid to the child’s guardian for
the benefit of the child. This is
one reason why you should check
carefully before naming a young
child as a life insurance benefi
ciary.
Q. What is a life insurance
"rider?"
A. A rider is an added page or
paragraph which is attached to a
life insurance policy, usually to
provide additional protection. For
example, a rider may provide
special benefits for the family if
the father (as policyholder) be
comes disabled. This may take
the form of income payments, or
may suspend further premium
payments on the policy. Another
type of rider is the familiar
“double indemnity” which dou
bles the protection if the policy
holder loses his life in an acci
dent.

States.
Rep. Tuten to
View Opening
With Interest
WASHINGTON — Congressman
J. Russell Tuten said this week
he will observe the opening of
the 1965 tobacco market season
with great interest.
“Tobacco farmers in Georgia
must receive top prices in order
to survive the unfair application
of the acreage poundage control
program,” Tuten declared.
Congressman Tuten was one of
the leaders in the effort to get
Type 14 tobacco treated separate
ly under the control program.
“It is common knowledge,” he
said, “that Type 14 is in great
demand by the private tobacco
companies and does not contri
bute to the surplus.”
Banks Largest
Lenders to
Ga. Farmers
Georgia banks were serving
farmers with more credit and
other financial services than any
other lenders at the beginning of
this year, according to J. A. Mc-
Duffie, Exec. Vice-President, Peo
ples Bank, Blackshear, who re
presents the Georgia Bankers
Association as Pierce County
Committeeman. During 1964, the
state’s banks maintained their
leadership in agricultural credit
services.
Based on the 24th annual farm
lending summary of the Agricul
tur Committee of The American
Bankers Association, Mr. McDuf
fie reported that at the beginning
of the year, Georgia banks were
helping farmers with $145 million
in loans, 14 per cent more than
a year previous. This total in
cluded s6l million in production
loans and SB4 million in farm
mortgages. At the same time, $47
million in farm loans was held
by life insurance companies; $92
million by the Federal Land
Banks; $56 million by Production
Credit Associations; and sl3 mil
lion in nonreal estate loans plus
s3l million in real estate loans by
the Farmers Home Administra
tion. About 47 per cent of the pro
duction credit extended by lending
institutions to Georgia farmers
came from banks.
Mr. McDuffie said that “bank
ers in Georgia are conscious of
the large capital investments re
quired in agriculture today and
are making a concerted effort
through improved lending pro
gram to meet these changing cre
dit demands of the state’s farm
ers."
The increased use of credit by
farmers, according to Mr. McDuf
fie has been accompanied by a
substantial gain in the total as
sets of farm families. Therefore,
in the aggregate, the equity posi
tion of farmers, contrary to pub
lic opinion, is being maintained
at a satisfactory level. Nationally,
farm families have $193 billion of
their own funds invested in agri
culture. This represents 84 per
cent of the total capital require
ments of farmers.
Mr. McDuffie stressed the im
portance of farmers and banker
working closely together to im
prove farm financial arrange
ments. He reported that 90 per
cent of insured banks through
out the country had agricultural
loans outstanding at the first of
the year, with 92 per cent of the
banks in Georgia extending credit
to farm people.

Keys to Pesticide Safety
Each year most of us use
some kind of pesticide or simi
lar chemical. But if you’re a
farmer, you use far more of
them than most people.
It might be a relatively sim
ple operation, such as a farmer
or his wife spraying their cat
tle for fly control, or a more
difficult operation where a
farmer applies pesticides to his
crops for insect control.
Whatever the operation
there are four keys to chemi
cal safety that should be fol
lowed for safe chemical use,
says the National Safety Coun
cil. Every farm family should
know these keys: labeling, us
ing, storing and disposing.
To begin with, the most im
portant thing to remember is
to read the label. Read every
thing on the label and follow
the instructions to the last
word. Then:
• Use the correct chemical
at the right time for the job
to be done.
°Use the appropriate respi
rator when required. Wear
the prescribed type of clothing
or skin covering as noted on
the label or on special instruc
tions.
’ Be sure to wash your
hands before eating or smok
ing when using chemicals.
• Keep children away from
mixing, dusting or spraying
areas.
’ Seek prompt first aid or

medical attention if a toxic
chemical gets in or on your
body.
Correct storage is the third
step. All chemicals should be
stored in a cabinet, room or
building that can be locked.
To protect children and ani
mals, promptly return to safe
storage unused portions that
you wish to keep.
Finally, disposal of the pesti
cide is important. Never throw
chemical containers or small
leftover amounts in garbage
cans or drums.
Almays dispose of empty
chemical containers immedia
tely. Crush, break and bury
metal or glass chemical con
tainers whenever possible.
