This type of Vocational Educa
known . Diversifi- _. ...
tion Program as
ed Co-operative Training helps
to bridge the gap between school
and job for many high school
students who do not plan to enter
college.
In the D. C. T. program a stu¬
dent chooses his own occupation
or trade. His school work com¬
bines actual experience on the
j 0 b with regular high school
courses, plus special instructions
related to his chosen field.
Mr. W. M. Hicks of the State
Department of Education in At¬
lanta, was in charge of the State¬
wide D. C. T. program. Mr. Hicks
reported that more than 700 boys
and girls, white and negro, are
preparing for employment in 105
different jobs or trades. A check
of D. C. T. students in recent
years reveals that 86 per cent of
them continue in the same field
of employment after graduation.
In addition to setting the date
and place and program for the
annual Spring Convention, this
planning conference included dis¬
cussions of local D. C. T, pro¬
grams, and provided oportunities
for the co-ordinators and students
represented to pool their ideas,
and plans.
Richard Gunter, D. C. T. Co¬
ordinator from Columbus and
President of the State Co-ordina¬
tors Association, presided over the
adult part of the program. Miss
Jane Crawford, from the Bruns¬
wick High School, and President
of the State Federation of D. C. T.
Clubs, presided over the student
sessions.

Federal Reserve
Bank Forecasts
Atlanta.—Further cuts in pea¬
nut acreage, possibly to half the
1948 planting, were predicted to¬
day by the Federal Reserve Bank
of Atlanta.
Last Wednesday, the Depart¬
ment of Agriculture announced a
20 per cent cut for 1950. The bank
report on the peanut situation was
prepared before that action, but
in expectation of it. As a result,
the bank said:
“There are no other widely
adaptable cash crops that can be
used on a large enough scale to
replace the income that will be
lost by (reductions in the peanut
acreage. If farmers who have

depended upon peanuts for a maj¬
or part of their income are to
avoid a large reduction in total
income, therefore, they must ex¬
pand their other enterprises or
adopt new ones.”
"First of Series"
In its monthly review of South¬
eastern business conditions, the
bank said the 1949 acreage cut
“is apparently only the first of a
series that will eventually reduce
the acreage picked and threshed
by 40 to 50 per cent from the
3,300,000 acres grown in 1948.”
u urged the necessity of giv¬
ing peanut growers more than
one year’s warning of acreage
allotments, so that they can begin
changes which take a long time.
At the same time the bank warn
ed against suggestions that the
Government provide higher sup
port prices than would prevail in
a free market,
“This type of Government
sponsored monopoly in agricul-
ture will apparently be continu¬
ed for crops such as peanuts,”
even though there is considerable
evidence that farm income can¬
not be maintained in this way.”
Cuts Necessary
Acreage cuts will be necessary,
the report said, because of a
leveling out of demand and in¬
creased production by improved
cultivation methods.
Georgia is the nation’s largest
producer of peanuts. The report
said the crop had almost replaced
cotton in Southwest Georgia and
Southwest Alabama, and that cot¬
ton crop limitations would limit
the opportunity for growers to
switch back to the staple.
No firm suggestions for re¬
placement products were made,
but true report said livestock, a
growing Southeastern enterprise,
was not profitable on small farms
and takes several years to de¬
velop.
