Farmers Receive
Early Payments
Farmers who have contribu
ted to stabilizing markets for
food and fiber and to the con
servation of soil and water re
sources by taking part in the
1970 wheat, feed grain, and
cotton programs are receiving
their program payments ear
lier this year than ever before,
according to George Dykes,
Chairman of the Brantley
County Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation (AS
CI Committee.
The first batch of payments
will be made beginning July 6,
1970. Additional payments will
continue to be made as rapidly
KENNETH JOHNS
as fanners ccertify ccompli
ance with program require
ments and as fast as individu
al farm records can be pro
cessed and checks returned to
ASCS county offices for dis
tribution to farmers.
“Because of the excellent co
oneration between farmers and
their local ASCS Office, 50
percent of th“ particioating
producers in Brantley County
will r°ceive their oayments in
July, Mr. Dykes said.
Most ravments should be
comoleted by mid-August, if
farmers who signed up will
^omolete th? necessary certi
fi p ation indicating that they
have comolied with all of the
nrogram provisions.
Farm nrogram payments
help maintain a balance be
tween supnly and demand, the
chairman exnlained. He point
ed out that both farmers and
consumers benefit from this
balance.
“Agricultural productivity
almost doubled in the past 20
years, but farmers’ markets
take only a third of this in
crease”, said Mr. Dykes. This
means we need new markets.
Farm prosanns help us hold
down farm production and
maintain farm income until
new markets are developed
and old ones expanded.”
“Huge surpluses must be a
voided. They are costly in tax
dollars and wasteful of food
and fiber.
“Farm programs help farm
ers make adjustments in their
individual farming operations
that in the long run will re
sult in more farm income
from the marketplace and less
from the public treasury.
Farm programs also make
important contributions to con
servation of natural resources
and help fight pollution. Mr.
Dykes said. Acres that are di
verted out of crop production
under farm programs are put
to conserving uses such as the
growing of prass and trees.
Such practices cons°rve soil
and water, provide habitat for
wildlife and small game, help
present pollution of our
streams from sediment and ag
ricultural chemicals or waste
products, and reduce air pollu
tion caused by blowing dust,
th° chairman expleined.
“Wh°n a farmer takes land
out of production and puts it
to a soil-and-water-conserving
use. he gives up the value of
P"oduction he normally would
have received as income. At
the same time, the farmer pays
taxes on land removed from
production even though that
land produces no crops. Pro
gram payments are designed
to compensate him for these
voluntary contributions to
ward a more stable farm econ
omv and a better environ
ment”, Mr. Dykes said. In re
cent yeads. the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture had ad
vanced partial payments to
farmers during the spring
signup period for the feed
grain program only. The bal
ance of the feed grain pay
ment, and cotton and wheat
payments were generally made
starting in late July and con
tinuing through August and
September, or later, the chair
m°n explained.
“Because of budget res
traints, partial payments
could not be made this year.
However, the department
made a commitment to farm
ers that full payments would
be made as early as possible.
That commitment is now being
fulfilled.”

- A Batch Os Brownies
If the members of your family like cake-like brownies with f
deep chocolate taste, be sure to try Fudge Cake Brownies from
the Borden Kitchen. They are rich and good when made with
•canned sweetened condensed milk, so often used for the making
of fine sweets. Plenty of chopped walnuts, too, add flavor and
crunchiness.
Brownies are good anytime, but they especially hit the spot as
a dessert coupled with a pot of hot coffee. To give variety to the
serving, alternate toppings by using ice cream, mounds of
whipped cream, frosting, or a favorite dessert sauce.
Fudge Cake Brownies
(Makes ti two-inch square brownies)
3 (1-oz.) squares 2 eggs

The program is no longer just

on skills learned, the top awards
go to the boys and girls who
also.show that.they have taught
skills to others and applied them
constructively in their communi

For example, the Between
Meal Snacks girls often do
studies of their family's nutri
tional intake and then learn to
prepare and serve snacks that
include vitamins and minerals
their families don’t eat enough
of. Better Breakfast girls not
only prepare a breakfast, but
must be able to tell what causes
eggs to become tough or explain
the nutritional difference be
tween orange drink and orange

Wheeler Tells of
Deadlines on
Vet Benefits
Atlanta — With more than
2,000 Georgians being separa
ted from military service each
month, State Veterans Direc
tor Pete Wheeler says, “Every
veteran should be aware of the
deadlines which must be met
concerning many benefits a
vailable to veterans.”
Within 10 days following
his discharge, a veteran must
advise the Selective Service
System of his address, either
in person or by mail. A veter
an desiring to return to his
former place of employment
must apply within 90 days of
his discharge in order to retain
his re-employment rights. The
veteran has 120 days after his
discharge in which to convert
his Servicemen’s Group Life
Insurance to a private plan
without being required to
stand an examination.
Advising veterans to be par
ticularly aware of deadlines
regarding certain Veterans Ad
ministration benefits, WheeL
er says,“A veteran has only
one year from the date of a
VA rating notice in which to
obtain GI life insurance be
cause of a service-connected
disability.
“One year is also the time
period allowed a veteran to
file for free dental care for
service-incurred disabilities.”
Wheeler added that free one
time dental care is given to
veterans without regard to ser
vice-connected disabalities if
application is filed within one
year after discharge.
On the subject of VA edu
cational benefits ,Wheeler
says, “A veteran is allowed
eight years to complete his
schooling under the GI Bill.
Veterans in vocational rehabi
litation training generally have
nine years from date of dis
charge. In certain cases of se
vere disabilities, however,
this time may be extended.”
For same veterans interes
ted in GI loans for homes,
time is just about up. Final ex
piration date for veterans of
World War II is July 25, 19-
70. Eligibility for Korean War
veterans expires January 31,
1975. Eligibility for post-Kor
ean and Viet Nam War veter
ans does not begin to expire
until March 3. 1976.
“So far, no time limit has
been set for newly-released
veterans to file for compensa
tion for disease or injury in
curred in service, non-service
conected pensions, VA hospi
tal care, assistance in finding
employment, or conversion of
term insurance,” says Wheel
er. And he urged all veterans
to find out what benefits are
due them by checking with
the nearest Georgia Veterans
Service Office.
EARLY IN THE DAY
Two gardening activities
best achieved early in the day
are watering and spraying for
insect and disease control.
Troy Keeble, horticulturist
with the Cooperative Exten
sion Service, says morning
watering gives , the foliage
time to dry before nightfall.
BLACKBERRY TIME
Blackberry season may be
short but it doesn’t mean you
can’t enjoy this delicate fla
vor year-round. Miss Nelle
Thrash, home economist with
the Cooperative Extension
Service, says you may can,
freeze or make blackberries
into juice, jam, jelly or other
preserved products.

COMPUTER SAVING TIME, MONEY
IN GEORGIA VEHICLE REGISTRATION
ATLANTA —A machine that
reads printed pages of informa
tion directly into a computer is
helping the State Revenue De
partment save time and money
in updating motor vehicle regis
tration files with 1970 auto li
cense tag numbers.
Robert Allen, data processing
director, said the computer
based system will enable the
department to re-register about
2.5 million motor vehicles in
Georgia by July 1.
“In previous years,” Allen
said, “all motor vehicle regis
trations had to be updated with
cards punched manually and
then fed into the computer. Our
files normally were completed
just about the time new license
tags went on sale again.
“This year we anticipate that
we will have our records up
dated months ahead of time and
at a savings of approximately
$45,000 under last year’s cost.”
Allen said the key to the new
system is a device called an
optical page reader, which scans
pre-registration forms of motor
vehicle owners in Georgia’s 159
