AAA LISTS 1949
PRICE SUPPORT
TO GRAIN FARMERS
Jackson County’s grain farmers
will be given much needed price
protection this year through the
Commodity Credit Corporation’s
Oat Loan and Wheat Purchase Pro
grams, it was announced this week
by William G. Cutts, PMA Admin
istrative Officer.
The basis loan rate for oats is 81
cents per bushel and the basic pur
chase rate for wheat is $2.16 per
bushel.
Farmers who have acceptable
storage space can store oats on their
own farms and get a loan through
CCC. The storage space must be
approved by the County Commit
tee and any farmer interested in this
program should contact the AAA
Office immediately so that the
structure may be inspected before
grain is placed in it.
Under the Wheat Purchase Pro
gram the farmer must deliver his
wheat to the nearest rail siding as
the wheat is shipped in car lots with
a minimum of 1000 bushels. More
than one farmer may place wheat
in the car to make the minimum
shipment, but the farmers will re
ceive classing and payment on the
average of the entire car.
Oats must be stored for 30 days
after harvest before a sample will
be taken. At that time, the sample
will be forwarded for testing and
the loan made on the basis of that
test. The entire procedure will
probably take approximately three
weeks. Local banks may handle
the loans, in which case the farmer
will have no delay after receiving
a report on the tests.
There will be a service charge of
one cent per bushel with a minimum
fee of $3.00. Interest on the oat
loans will be at the rate of three
percent per annum and the notes
will mature April 30, 1950. If the
farmer has not redeemed the loan
by that date, CCC reserves the right
to take over the grain.
For details on these programs,
contact your AAA Office in Jeffer
son.

JEKYLL ISLAND
BECOMES MECCA
FOR HONEYMOONERS
Jekyll Island State Park is be
coming a honeymoon heaven, ac
cording to Barney Whitaker, who
says that 75 couples have spent their
honeymoons at Jekyll since he
leased the park May 10.
“Because of the situation of the
island and its unlimited spots of
seclusion, it is fast becoming a mec
ca for America’s newlyweds,” Whit
aker said, indicating he thinks
Jekyll may supplant Niagara Falls
in the affections of brides and
grooms.
A record of the honeymooners is
kept, Whitaker said, and every 100th
couple will be his personal guests
for one day and night, and on
that night they will be housed in the
master bedroom of the famous
Rockefeller mansion. Each 100th
couple also will be escorted on a
tour of the island, and given an
aerial view of the Golden Isles, he
added.
The new operator of the park also
said he hopes to have such couples
as his guests again on their first
anniversary.

GEORGIA FARMERS
NEED MORE
LAYING HENS
Georgia, and especially this sec- j
tion of the state, is being given fine ,
publicity for the number of broilers
and fryers grown and marketed
here, but there is a need for the pro
duction of more eggs on Georgia
farms.
I
Of the 566,594 cases of eggs ship-1
ped into Atlanta during the year
1948 by truck and train, only 29,702
cases, or 5.2 percent, came from
Georgia farms. These are not es
timates, they are actual figures as
sembled by the USDA Production
and Marketing Administration of
fice, which is located in Atlanta.
Where did those other 536,892
cases of shipped eggs come from?
They were shipped from 18 dif
ferent states, but from the Middle
West mostly. Illinois, lowa, Mis
souri and Minnesota were responsi
ble for 86 per cent. The remainder
came from Alabama, Indiana, Kan
sas, Kentucky, Maine, Mississippi,
Nebraska, North Carolina, North
Dakota, South Carolin, South Dako
ta, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin.
Georgia may never produce all
the eggs eaten in the State, but
there is no reason why Georgia
farmers should not produce most of
them. More commercial flocks of
from 400 to 3,000 hens are needed.
It has been found a profitable en
terprise in the past and offers big
opportunities for the future.
PUBLIC PAYROLL
CARRIES SIX
MILLION NAMES
According to the Census Bureau,
as of January this year, Federal,
State and local governments em
ployed 6,083,000 persons, with an
aggregate public payroll for the
month of $1,340,000,000. The North
western National Life Insurance
Company calculates that Govern
ment salaries cost the average fam
ily S4OO a year.
The disturbing phase of this
trend is that the number of public
employees is on increase. After
a decline, with the passing of the
war emergency, the number of Fed
eral civilian employees now in
crease at the rate of 200,000 a year.
It was thought that centralized gov
ernment in Washington might re
duce the need for so many state and
local public employees, but they in
crease at the rat of 200,000 a year.
The number of government em
ployees already equals the number
of workers employed in the States
of Massachusetts, Indiana and Texas
combined.
It is easy to foresee that as long
as these millions of employees have
the power to vote they may cease
to be our servants to become our
masters. Apparently, nothing can
be done about it other than a revolt
of the taxpayers. The system will
continue to grow until the tax
ridden people cut off its water.
