How the commodity distribution
program helps Seminole County farm
ers as well as underprivileged fami
lies was pointed out in a report re
leased by Wm. A. Adams, Albany,
Georgia, Area Supervisor for the
Agricultural Marketing Administra
tion.
Over $829.15 worth of commodities
which were distributed to an average
of 24G families in the county during
June, 1942, represent additional farm
markets created by the program, the
report showed.

|| Bn this dark hour of cur
national existence, when
our tradition, our freedom
and our very lives and homes are
being assaulted by a vicious and
deadly enemy, it is time for the
people of our State and our Na
tion to return to the simple faith
of our childhood.
At our mother's knee and in the
Jittle country churches we were
taught that there is a God who
watches over the destinies of
mankind. Though our faith may
\be sorely tried and our hearts
troubled, we were taushi to cih g
to that elemental truth.

form of Government is the finest
the mind of man has ever devised.
<We know that right will triumph,
evil will be uprooted and the
truth prevail, and that the truth
ivill set us free.

Administration did not step in and
buy part of the crop,” Mr. Adams ex
plained.
“The Department of Agriculture
feels that commodities thus obtained
could not be put to better use than in
helping build health and morale a
mong our underprivileged and under
nourished families.
“Foods issued to needy families in
the county are purchased by AMA
and turned over to the State Depart
ment of Public Welfare for distribu

AGENT POINTS OUT
HEAVY LOSSES ON
LOW-GRADE COTTON
County Agent AV. C. Rushing advis
ed Seminole county farmers this week
that picking cotton wet or damp and
improper ginning will reduce profits
three times as much this jrear as in
1941.
He said that last year when a farm
er took his cotton to the gin damp
and the ginner roughed it up so that
it was classed as strict low middling,
or one grade below s middling, the cot
ton sold for only $2.75 a bale less than
middling cotton.
A very damp bale or one that was in
such bad shape that the buyer classed
it two grades below nnddling caused
a loss of only $6.
This year the situation is piuch
more serious, the agept pointed out.
When the cotton is lowered one grade •
from middling now, a loss of $6.75 per |
bale results. Two grades below mid- j
dling this year means a loss of $19.75
per bale.
Mr. Rushing urged farmers to pick
cotton clean, take it to the gin dry,
pnd insist on a good job of ginning in
order tp avoid these losses.
“Frequent rajps or heavy dews of
ten make it difficult co pjck cotton
dry,” he explained. “But usually there I
is enough sunshine to dry cotton in I
tlw field as it is picked if it is spread I
on sheets. Some farmers pay pickers a
premium for clean picked cotton,
“One of the most common causes of
rough ginning is operating the gin
with a tight seed roll.” Mr. Rushing

said. “But ginners who rough up cot
ton enough to lower its grade this
year will cost their customers real
money.”

Cotton Grower To
Receive Indemnity
B. E. Conger, of near Tifton, will be
the first cotton grower east of the
Mississippi river to receive an indem
nity payment for a loss under the cot
ton crop insurance program intro
duced this year, A. M. Thornton, of
Athens, State Cotton Crop Insurance
supervisor revealed this week.
Conger will officially receive his in
demnity certificate in a brief inter
view ceremony to be broadcast over
Station AVSB in Atlanta at 6:30
o’clock Wednesday morning, August
119. The interview will be a feature of
' AVSB’s Dixie Farm Hour.
Indemity payments to other growers
will be made as rapidly as they can be
certified, Thornton said.
Conger’s cotton, insured for 75 per
cent of his normal yield, was destroy
ed by hail in May, just as it attained
a stand.
“Hail”, said Thornton, “is of course
only one of the many hazards against
which cotton crop insurance will pro
tect a grower. Even war-related dam
age has been added to the long list
of natural and unavoidable hazards,
which includes flood, frost, drought,
wind, fire, hail, winter-kill, plant
diseases, and weevil or other insect
damage’'.
In Georgia, 25,241 cotton farms are
insured this year.
CHANGES IN DUCK.
DOVE SEASON TOLD
Except on ducks and <j.oves, Georgia
hunters will not find much change in
regulations on hunting migratory
birds this season, the AVildlife Divi
sion announced.
Rules governing these birds were
established by the Federal government
and the State Division concurs with
the assists in enforcing them,
Wildljfe Director Zack D. Cravey
said duck season has been lengthened
from 60 to 70 days, due to the last
inventory which indicated the nation
al duck population has risen from an
estimated 70,000,000 to an estimated
100,000,000. This good luck, however, 1
is somewhat offset by the curtain-'
ment on doves, which can be hunted
Vitq| electric power has been
provided whenever and wherever
needed by this Company without
interrupting service to commercial
and domestic customers.
Such an enviable record has
been possible only because of the
foresight of the men who began
years ago to build super-power
ways and generating stations to
produce and carry power to any
portions of the area served.
This Company began years ago
building and planning for almost
i only 30 days this season as compared
with 42 last. The Director explained
the dove’s population still is far be
low the normal and that unless hunt
ers are willing to conform to the short
ened season, it will be necessary to
close the season entirely for several
years. The bag limit also has been re
duced, from 12 to 10.
There still is no open season on
woodcocks or ruffed grouse. Hunting
hours run from sunrise to sunset,
whereas it went only until 4 p. m. on
duck, geese and coot last year.
