Georgia farm families are bus
ily preparing to attend the annual
Farm and Home Week in Athens,
August 7 to 12. Many are plan
ning their farm work so as to have
a free week in which to attend
the meetings at Athens Farm
families from all over the state
gather on the College of Agricul
ture campus at the University of
Georgia to take part in the farm
and home programs, inspect the
college farm, and hear outstanding
farm leaders from various sections
of the country. And while the
farmers and their wives are en
gaged in attending meetings, their
boys and girls will be taking part
in the annual conference of the
state 4-11 club council, which meets
in conjunction with Farm and
Home Week.
Agricultural News Letter, a pub
lication devoted to new develop
ments in agriculture, devotes three
pages of its current issue to “Cot
ton Culture in Georgia,” a recent
bulletin of the Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service. The re
view declares that the bulletin,
prepared by E. C. Westbrook,
Extension cotton specialist, “should
be an invaluable aid to planters
and others concerned with the
growing of this crop." Copies of
“Cotton Culture in Georgia’’ may
be obtained free by interested
farmers from county agents.
Many Georgia ginners are in
stalling cotton driers in their gins,
J. C. Oglesbee, Jr., of Tifton, ag
ricultural engineer for the Geor
gia Extension Service, reports.
As part of a drier survey, Ogles
bee recently inspected cotton gins
at Irwinville, Baxley, Surrency,
Jesup, Screven, Americas, I.a
Grange, Carrollton, and Columbus.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A. Wallace described the recent
transfer of the Rural Electrifica
tion Administration to the Depart
ment of Agriculture as “a step of
the utmost significance both for
the Department and for the Fed
eral electrification program.” “It
holds promise of widening the use
fulness of electric service for
farmers,” Mr, Wallace said, “The
idea that the farmers of this
country are entitled to rural elec
trification now has wide accept
ance. The resources of this De
partment will be thrown behind
the RFA program in order to fur
ther rural electrification, and with
and in part through rural electri
fication, the other farm programs.
Farmers have discovered that elec
tric service can be brought within
reach and they are determined to
get it. It is my intention to pre
serve the gains that have been
made and do everything I can to
insure that Federal rural electri
fication goes forward with
same vigor as under the leader
ship of Mr. Carmody and the
of the REA. We will take elec
trie service to all the farms we
can.”
County Agent H. M. Morris and
citizens of Fannin county are dis
cussing plans for installing a com
munity refrigerator. This is ad
ditional evidence of the keen in
terest being shown in rural elec
trification in that section of the
state. J. L. Calhoun, rural elec
trification specialist for the Geor
gia Agricultural Extension Service,
recently conferred with the agent
and citizens in connection with
the electrification projects in th»
county.
