SKIPPED BREAKFAST
Surveys show that one-half
of the American people go to
work without an adequate
breakfast. According to Miss
Nellie Boyd, Cooperative Ex
tension Service nutritionist,
breakfast is nutritionally
the most important meal.
It breaks a fast which has last
ed from 10 to 14 hours and
gives the energy needed to do
the morning work.

Brantley Tax Assessors
Report Nears Completion
Senator Dean
Speaks up for
Tobacco Farmer
State Senator Roscoe E.
Dean Jr. of Jesup, chairman
of the Senate Tobacco Sub
committee, said Friday he was
not going to let publicity seek
ing interests of one state sen
ator hurt the Georgia tobacco
farmer or the entire industry.
“If one senator wishes to
get involved in a name call
ing battle with another of
ficial, then let him do it else
where,” he said. “We need un
ity, understanding and cooper
ation' and not fighting.”
The Jesup senator said if the
particular senator had the in
terests of the Georgia tobacco
farmer at heart he would not
engage in a name-calling, pub
licity-seeking battle.
“What we need now is some
solution or solutions and it is
going to take all of us working
to solve these problems,” he
added. “I call on this senator
and everyone else to join me
in helping the farmer.”
“What upsets me is that this
little battle may have over
shadowed what most of us on
the committee were trying to
do,” he stated. “We came up
with some real steps toward
solving these problems and I
am confident that the majority
of our tobacco farmers will
agree with us.”
He listed the recommenda
tion that Georgia growers
from their own marketing as
sociation, using an easily rec
ognized trade name, as one of
the first steps.
“We also want the Commis
sioner of Agriculture to pub
lish a day-by-day sales break
down of the out of state tobac
co sold on Georgia markets
from 1963 through this year’s
season;” he explained.
Other points made bv th* 1
committee were removal of
the so-called tax on tax as it
applies to cigars and cigaret
tes.
The committee also wants
the operating license of each
tobacco warehouse to expire at
the end of each season so that
a tighter check can be kept on
operators.
Sen. Dean said the commit
tee would seek an amendment
prohibiting the unloading of
tobacco on Sunday and en
dorse proposed legislation that
would allow Georgia farmers
to sell and lease acreage allot
ments across county lines.
“One of the principal com
plaints of our growers was the
lack of graders hired from
Georgia,” he added. “We will
recommend that the Tobacco
Stabilization Cooperative hire
as many graders as possible
from the state in which they
are grading.”
Another recommendation
would prevent buyers from
seeing grades before they bid
on a particular pile of tobacco.

Georgia Leads South in
Production of Pulpwood
ATLANTA, GA.—Purchasers of
pulpwood harvested in Georgia
and delivered to pulp and paper
mills in 1966 totaled $125,962,000,
according to a report by H. J.
Malsberger of Atlanta, general
manager of the Southern Pulp
wood Conservation Association.
The total for Georgia last year
was 2 percent greater than the
value reported for 1965, he said,
and marked the nineteenth con
secutive year that the state has
held top place as the South’s lead
ing producer of pulpwood. Mr.
Malsberger stressed that 80 per
cent of this wood is purchased
from farmers and other individ
ual landowners.
The figures are based upon the
results of a 12-state pulpwood
production survey made by U. S.
Forest Service Experiment Sta
tion at Asheville, N. C. and New
Orleans, La., in cooperation with
SPCA.

Brantley County Tax assessors
have almost completed their work
in the county and will send their
report to the State Revenue De
partment in a few days, according
to Raymond D. Smith, one of the
assessors.
The other two assessors are
E. L. Sears and Henry G. Lee.
The assessors’ valuation of one
property has been submitted to
arbitration, Mr. Smith said, and
the arbitrators judgement must be
received before the valuations can
be sent to Atlanta for approval or
rejection.
After the State Revenue De
partment has finally accepted the
assessors schedule of values on
property, the County Commission
ers will then estimate the tax
needs for the year and levy the
tax millage they deem necessary,
with state and county and school
taxes included.
The Board of Education will
set the school tax millage for
school purposes and submit then
request to the County Commission
ers.
Taxes will be levied on a basis
of 40 percent of assessed valuation
of property.
