Jefferson, Jackson County, Georgia 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.

Thursday, June 2, 1949 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.
