Water Is Topic as Conservation
Supervisors Meet at Statesboro
Soil and water conservation
district supervisors from 34
counties .met at Statesboro,
Sept. 13, to discuss the role
of water in Georgia’s future.
Speakers on the program
covered the “waterfront” so to
speak, including water for
towns and industries, pollu
tion, and water for agricul
ture. George C. Martin, vice
president, Georgia Association
of District Supervisors, presid
ed.
Besides district supervisors,
the meeting was attended by
County Commissioners, mem
bers of the General Assembly,
and municipal, state and fed
eral employees.
Keynote speaker was H. P.
Morgan, executive director,
Resources Advisory Board,
Southeast River Basins, At
lanta. Other speakers included
Walter Harrison, Director,
National Association of Elec
tric Membership Cooperatives,
Millen; A. P. Barnett, agricul
tural engineer, Agricultural
Research Service, Watkins
ville, Dean Gregg, hydraulic
engineer, U. S. Department of
Interior, Brunswick; Jim L.

Gillis, Jr., chairman, State Soil
& Water Conservation Com
mittee, Soperton; C. W. Chap
man, state conservationist,
Soil Conservation Service,
Athens, and James C. Lough
ridge, president, GACD, Chats
worth.
In his keynote speech, Mr.
Morgan, inventoried the cur
rent water situation, defined
the water problems in the
state, projected future water
needs, and stated some alter
native roles for Soil Conser
vation Districts to consider in
planning future actions.
Georgia’s water needs are
certain to increase, he told the
Supervisors, and a course must
be charted because we have
been using, misusing, polluting
and generally wasting water
as if there would never be a
tomorrow.
In the future, he continued,
water must be managed with
the understanding that by the
year 2000, just 33 years from
now, Georgia’s water needs
may double. District Supervis
ors can help chart the water
course that must of necessity
be followed by Georgia’s citi
zens, municipalities and in
dustry.
Other speakers on the pro
gram put water use in its pro
per focus. In discussing pollu
tion, Mr. Harrison pointed out
that although Georgia’s
streams are not as polluted as
in other parts of the nation,
it will still take special efforts
by cities, industries, and farm
ers to guarantee a plentiful
supply of usable water. He
reminded Supervisors that one
of their aims should be to aid
in pollution abatement in
streams and lakes.
He concluded his remarks
by declaring that clearing up
pollution is not going to be
easy, cheap or speedy, but it’s
a job that has to be done and
efforts in this field must be
increased.
Mr. Barnett stated that al
though Georgia farmers are
not in a water bind as farmers
are in other parts of the Na
tion; we are approaching a
point in time where they
might be unless they learn
quickly how to trap, conserve,
share, and keep the state’s
water resources unpolluted.
He pointed out that farmers
have the first chance in the
conservation and management
of water. The rain that falls
on the farmlands of the state
either does good or bad, de
pending pretty .much on how
it is handled by the man who
owns the land.
Mr. Gregg explained that
very large quantities of good
quality water are available at
relatively low cost from the
principal artisian aquifer un
derlying the coastal area of
Georgia. He also pointed out
that to minimize potential
problems and to fully utilize
this source, future supplies
should be developed in an
orderly manner based on a
thorough knowledge of the
aquifer system.
In concluding the program,
Vice-President Martin said
that none of the questions
raised or problems outlined at
the meeting can be solved to
day or tomorrow. “But,” he
added, “with the information
that is available from such
organizations as Mr. Morgan’s,
and with the continued help
and support of groups as rep
resented by the speakers on
todays program, as well as
.many other groups, I am confi
dent that we can solve our
water problems before they
become a widespread irrever
sible famine.”
Those from Pierce County
attending the meeting includ

Park. County Supervisor J.

Service technician.

Tobacco Prices by Grades Turned
Lower in 1967 After 5-Year Rise
Prices by grades turned
downward during the 1967
crop season on the Georgia-
Florida flue-cured tobacco
markets after five straight
years of increase. The Federal-
State Market News Service
reports volume of sales and
total money paid out reached
new record high levels. Grow
ers placed the largest amount
under Government loan since
1956. Quality of the tobacco
was lower than in 1966. The
marketing season was the
longest since 1954.
Gross sales (includes re
sales) totaled 224,436,599
pounds for $147,102,601 averag
ing $65.54 per hundred. Pound
age was up 51.5 million, or
30 per cent, over last season
and surpassed the previous
record sold during the 1955
season. Value exceeded the
previous year’s history peak
by $26.2 million. On the other
hand, the general average
showed a sizeable loss of $4.35
from the 1966 crop level. Last
year’s sales amounted to 172,-
935,416 pounds and averaged
$69.89.
Grade averages declined
from quotations of the year
before in a large majority of
cases. Losses ranged from SI.OO
to $12.00 per hundred pounds

but were mainly SI.OO to $5.00.
Unripe and immature grades
of leaf suffered the greatest
setbacks — $5.00 to $12.00.
Low green offerings of both
lugs and primings moved up
$3.00 to $4.00. The remaining
primings and the best qualities
were either unchanged or
showed small gains.
The Stabilization Corpora
tion received 10,956,000
pounds, or 4.9 per cent of
gross sales this year. Only
384,000 pounds — .2 per cent
— went under Government
loan last season. This year’s
receipts were the largest since
1956 when 7.4 per cent was
delivered to the Corporation.
Loan placements were 14.6
per cent in 1955, 8.9 per cent
in 1951, and 14.7 per cent in
1947.
The support level for all
tobacco offered this season in
this belt, regardless of whether
placed under loan or not,
averaged $54.99 per hundred
pounds. The support level in
1966 averaged $57.77.
Marketings consisted of larg
er proportions of low qualities
and nondescript than during
last season and a smaller per
centage of better tobacco.
