STATEMENT FROM AAA OFFICE
Jackson County farmers will have
the advantage and convenience of
farmyard delivery of 20% Super
phosphate according to an announce
ment by the State office of the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administration.
A contract ha* been awarded to run
to December 1, 1941.
The vendor*’ contract* specify de
livery in not less than five ton truck
loads. Inasmuch as only smalle
quantities of this material may be
desired by most producers, it will be
necessary to group requests to total
this minimum truck load to be de
livered to one of the farmyards in
cluded in the group and the other
farmers may secure their material
from the farm designated.
There i* also a contract for Jack
son County whereby farmers may ob
tain 20% Superphosphate delivered
by rail. The minimum order for
railhead delivery is 30 tons and if
sufficient requests are made from a
community o-r section of the county,
the material may be delivered to any
rail point.
Announcement was also made this
week of a contract awarded to
furnish basic slag. This would be
in 100 pound bags delivered to any
rail point in thirty ton minimum
car lots.
Farmyard delivery of Ground
Limestone is available in 5 ton mini
mum requests. These requests may
be grouped in the same manner as
Superphosphate.
Every co-operating farm covered
by a worksheet has an amount set
up which which can be used in ob
taining materials for soil building
purposes. This figure is determined
by subtracting the cotton allotment
from the tilled acreage and multi-
plying the result by 70c. $1.35 per
acre is added to this for each acre
of commercial orchard.
Materials obtained through the
AAA may be used only for soil build
ing practices and any misuse will be
charged at twice the regular rate of
deduction.

the State Treasury during the last

portant use—yet it represents only
fcr^ —‘■'SLhBPUpSS'— a part of the beer industry’s
<: —'rt total contribution to Georgia’s so
cial and economic welfar*.
. . . Plus City and County Taxes
Attention, Local Taxpayers
This $1,187,352.30 —used solely for buying free school books for
Georgia children—represents state beer excise and state license taxes
only. It includes no part of the beer industry’s property taxes on its
huge investment in land, buildings, plants and equipment—nor does
it include the large sums paid to local governments, city and county,
for licenses. If beer is sold in your city or county, your local tax
officials can give you information as to the amount of this revenue.
. . . Plus 10,000 Jobs for Georgians
A Living for Thousands of Families
Directly employing more than 10,000 persons, and indirectly requir
ing the work of many more, the beer industry is a very large employer
of Georgia labor, furnishes a livelihood to many thousands of families.
. ? . Plus $6,000,000 Annual Payroll
Immense Added Purchasing Power
A half million dollars of salaries and wages flowing every month into
the channels of trade in Georgia helps stabilize purchasing power at
higher levels, increases sales, stimulates every line of business.
. . . Plus Acceptance of Social Responsibility
Vigilant Program of Self-Regulation
The beer industry is not merely an economic factor, an employer, a
taxpayer —it fully recognizes its obligations to the public, its social
responsibility. Through the voluntary Clean Up or Close Up program
launched by this Committee over a year ago, it works closely with law
enforcement officials to eliminate undesirable outlets, to maintain
wholesome conditions wherever beer is sold.
You can help by restricting your patron
age to law-abiding retail beer outlets.
