Brantley Men
Attend Atlanta
Agri. Meeting
Four Brantley County resi
dents were among over 800
who attended a State-wide
conference of the Agriculture
Stabilization and Conserva
tion Service in Atlanta last
week.
Those attending from here
included George Dykes, Don
ald F. Stevens, Owen Pres
cott, all members of the ASC
County Committee and Dan
H. Jacobs, county office man
ager.
ASCS, a U. S. Department
of Agriculture agency, is re
sponsible for such “action”
farm programs as Allotment
and Marketing Quota, Agricul
tural Conservation Program,
Cropland Adjustment Pro
gram, Feed Grain Program,
Price Support Programs and
Emergency Programs. The
county committee is elected
by their fellow farmers
to make the important
judgment decisions which help
insure that National programs
work at the local level.
Kevnote speaker was Hor
ace D. Godfrev, ASCS Ad
ministrator. He spoke of the
technological change in the
past 20 years, and of problems
presented by these changes.
Mr. Godfrey said, “Technolog
ical change in the last 20 years
exceeds in its implications all
the change that took place in
the 5.000 years preceding
World War Two. And this
change continues to gather
speed.
“Agriculture is no excep
tion to this tremendous
change.
“Twenty years ago, the in
dividual American farmer was
producing enough food and
fiber for himself and 13 oth
ers. Today, he produces e
nough for himself and 39 oth
ers. Triple.”
“In 20 years, crop production
per acre has gone up 50 per
cent, on the average. Livestock
production per breeding unit
has gone up about the same.”
Death Rides
Fast on Streets
And Highways
Slaughter on Georgia highways
and streets continues, with 1452

thousands were injured, some per
manently.
In addition to deaths and in

an economic loss of $261,360,000
this year in damage to cars and to

Drive carefully. Drive defen
sively, which means “watch out
for the other fellow”.
It could happen to you.
