AMENDMENT 19 gives producers of various commodities the right to determine whether they will establish Commissions to assess themselves to conduct research, promotional, and educa tional programs to improve the production and marketing of their products. 2. Past experience indicates that the CONSUMER secures a better product because of the work of COMMISSIONS. 3. This WILL NOT increase taxes or prices. All expenses are paid by the producers. AMENDMENT 19 has to do with the various Commodity Commissions. A Commodity Commission comes into being when the producers of a commodity thru a referendum vote to have a Commission. The primary purpose of a Commodity Commission is to improve the pro duction and marketing of the product with which it is concerned. This means that the Consumer receives at the market a higher quality product. This is done through programs of research, education, and promotion. These pro grams help the producer by reducing the amount of poor quality products going on the market. They help the Consumer by assuring him of a higher quality product. And remember, the producer pays the cost of the Commission by assess ing himself so much per unit of production to defray the costs of the program. The Commissions do not increase taxes or prices since the producer pays the cost. There are now eight Commodity Commissions in Georgia. These deal with peanuts, tobacco, cotton, eggs, milk, sweet potatoes, peaches and apples. AMENDMENT 19 will also provide for producers of other agricultural, forest and fishery products to form Commissions. We would strongly urge that you vote "yes" on AMENDMENT 19 which merely gives the producers of a Commodity the right of self determination. A vote for AMENDMENT 19 does not mean that you are voting for Commis sions, as valuable as they are. It merely means that you are giving the pro ducers of Commodities the right to form Commissions if they so desire. The producers of Apples, Cotton, Eggs, Milk, Peaches, Peanuts, Sweet Potatoes and Tobacco ask that you PLEASE This advertisement paid for by producers of above listed commodities. Where there’s no limit on new industrial development More than 70 percent ox Georgia is woodlands. There’s room for growth. Our whitetail deer, for example, reach 300 pounds and more. Markets grow big in Georgia, too, and so do the industries that serve them. And some of the best guides for plant-site hunting are Georgia Power’s industrial develop ment representatives. They’re career men at this. They either have or can track down the information a prospect needs. Our industrial development men value team work, too. They coordinate their efforts with those of other business concerns, government agencies and chambers of commerce. No wonder pinched-for-space industries are coming to Georgia in record numbers. The horizons are wide here. For industry the land is young and promising. That’s why we urge industrial site-hunters to lift their eyes from crowded confines and to take a look at big buck country.
