A Letter From Our Coiigre«*iu«iir t
Capitol Hill,
Washington, D. C.
January 20, 1940.
My Dear Constituents:
We have experienced very cold
and disagreeable weather the past
week with snow and biting wind,
but the House knuckled down to
hard work and finished its con
sideration of the Independent Of
fices Appropriation Act, and pas
sed the same late Thursday after
noon. Of course, the House re
solved itself into the Committee of |
the Whole House on the State of;
the Union, and considered this j
appropriation measure item by
item, line by line. Although the j
membership here is 435, approxi- j
mately double that of our state)
legislature, the rules of procedure j
are simplified and so strict that j
veloped far more here, speed and ample dispatch opportun-j is de- j
yet
ity is afforded the membership for
expression of its views in debate,
Committee work here is most
important, and the long service of j
many of the members has render
ed them experts on the subjects
considered by their respective
committees. This bill which was
considered, debated and passed in
four days included the appropria
tions for the operation of all the |
sundry boards, independent commissions executive and bu- of-1 J
reaus, ]
fices, twenty-nine in number, as
follows: the compensation of the
President and Vice-President, ex
penses of the White House office, j j
the Executive mansion and
grounds, the bureau of the budget,
the American Battle Monuments
commission, Board of Tax Appeals, I

Now on Increase
In spite of unfavorable weather
conditions prevailing over much
0 f the country, retail sales of new
cars and trucks by Chevrolet
dealers in the first 10 days of the
new year totaled 21,998 units, as
against 15,108 in the same period
in 1939, W. E. Holler, general
sales manager, announced. This
represents a gain of 46.5 per cent,
one of the largest registered in
any 10-day period since the an
nouncement of the 1940 models.
Sales of trucks, Mr. Holler said,
totaled 4,282, as compared with
3,323 in the first 10 days of last
year.
Used car sales in the first 10
days also showed gains over 1939
the figures indicate. In the firs*
10 days of January 32,919 used
cprs were sold, as against 29,539
in the same period last year.
-r
Up to late 1939, reciprocal trade
agreements had benefited Ameri
can farmers by an increase of ex
ports over imports equivalent to
crops of an estimated 5,000,000
arrfls.
Georgia Farmers Increase Yields
Of Home Grown Food and Feeds
Bountiful crops have been reaped
by Georgia farmers under the fed
rat Tripie-A farm prigram, as evi
enced by decided increases in yields
of cotton, tobacco, and peanuts,
more soil-building and soil-con
serving practices, and an increase
in acreage for badly-needed food
and feed supplies for home use.
Homer S- Durden, state AAA ad
ministrative officer, this week said
by reducing the cotton acreage from
2,648,000 in 1932, the year before the
Triple-A began, to 1,938,000 in 1939
farmers have provided four addi
tional acres per farm family foi
the production of food and feed
supplies
“At the same time,’’ Durden ex
plained, “they increased the yield of
lint cotton from 154 pounds per acre
in 1932 to 226 pounds in 1939. For
1926-32, seven years preceding the
program, the average lint yield was
186 pounds compared to 232 pounds
for 1933-39, seven years with the
program.’’
Besides cotton, the Triple-A clas
sifies tobacco and peanuts as spec
ial major allotment crops in Geor
gia. Yields for tobacco increased
from 790 pounds for the five - year
period, 1929-33, to 902 pounds for
1934-38. For peanuts, the average
yield for 1929-33 was 605 pounds In
comparison to 725 pounds for 1934-
38
Durden said the highest tobacco
yield for Georgia came in 1938 when
marketing quotas were in effect and
acreage at a reasonable level. In
1939, when the growers rejected the
quotas and increased acreage, the
yield dropped to 760 pounds. Geor
gia growers favored quotas by 84.9
per cent on the 1940 flue-cured crop.
Quotas have been applied to cotton
since 1938, and were approved by
Georgia farmers for 1940 by 88.7
per cent.
Back in 1932, Georgia farmers
planted only 1,770,000 acres of soil
conserving crops, by 1938 the acre
age was increased to 2,850,000- Tame
hay, excluding peanuts, increased
from 70,000 to better than 300,000; ;
temporary winter pastures increased:
from 75 000 to 138,400; interplanted
legumes, including soy beans, cowj
peas, etc., but not including pea
nuts, increased from 1,085,000 to 1,-
606 000; lespedeza increased from
7,000 to 104,900 acres, and crotalaria
jumped from 50 to 1.500 acres
In 1936 the Agricultural Conser
vation program set out to encourage
soil-building practices in Georgia as
part of the AA plan. Comparative
figures on soil-building prr4 tices
for 1936 and 1938 show increases
practically all down the line.
In 1936 the AAA assisted cooper
ating fanners to plant 117,000 acres
of legumes or grasses, in compari
son to 462,000 in 1938. There were
712,000 ares of green manure or
cover crops in 1937 and 1-218,000 in
1938.
