1940 FARM CENSUS
Director Walter S. Brown re
ports that the Extension Service
is cooperating with the U. S. Bu
reau of Census in rendering as
sistance in supplying farm people
with information concerning the
1940 farm census which begins
on April 1. County agents and oth
er agricultural workers have been
asked to supply farmers with
sample farm census schedules, in
order that rural people may be
ready to give replies quickly and
accurately when the census
calls. Information which is ob
tained through the agricultural
census is used as much as, if not
more than, other data pertaining
to farm conditions in Georgia
counties. The farm census of 1940
will be even more significant be
cause of the information which
will be supplied concerning ihe
results of many of the adjustments
that have been made in

Almost Human
There’s a story that comes out
the West. It’s about the peli
of Santa Monica Bay and
pelicans remind us of a lot
human beings. The experience
teaches us that more and better
sales effort is required of every
last one of us.
For years these pelicans had
fed by fishermen from their
catch, until they got in the
habit of eating without work.
However, this year high seas
and hanging currents off Santa
Monica cut down the catch, and
fishermen no longer had any fish
to spare. They noticed that the
pelicans languished and grew thin
and it dawned on them that they
had forgotten how to fish for
themselves. So they went down
the coast and found some unpam
pered pelicans who had never
been ruined by easy living and
free fish. They turned them loose
among the starving birds, who sat
about on the beach and com
plained of the hard times. .
Georgia business firms who
have gone out after business in
1939 show one 4 of the largest in
creases over 1938 of any state in
the Union, according to a survey
published by the United States De
partment of Commerce on Janu
ary 30, 1940.
In Georgia independent retail
firms reported an increase of 11.4
per cent in comparison to a na
tional average increase of about 6
per cent,

YOUR COUNTY
NEWSPAPER i
i A Letter From Our Congressman i
My dear Constituents:
We have had a busy week in
Congress, considering, debating
and passing in order the First
Deficiency Appropriation Bill the
Bill for increasing lending author
ity of the Export-Import Bank of
Washington, the Non-Military Ap
propriation Bill, and the Stream
Pollution Bill. With the commit
tees in daily session and the House
sessions lasting until sometimes as
late as seven o’clock, we have
been constantly on the go.
One of the Committees to which
I am assigned considers all legis
lation affecting the election and
terms of office of the President,
Vice President, Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress. There
are bills before our Committee
seeking to amend the Constitution
relative to the length of the term
of office of the President. — One
would limit the President to two
terms of four years each, four
would provide only one term of
six years, and two seek to make
the term of Congressmen four
years instead of two years as at
present. Of course, these bills are
highly controversial and the com
mittee will have some lively hear
ings.
Another of my Committees
deals with legislation affecting
World War Veterans and their de
pendents. The most important
bills before it provide for a more
uniform construction of the term
“total and permanent disability”
as applied to Veterans’ claims, and
also providing for a pension for
the widows and orphans of de
ceased World War Veterans. We
have had extensive hearings on
these bills.
I am also serving on another
ver y interesting and important
committee dealing with all legis
lation affecting patents and copy
rights. Our government gives its
inventors more protection and en
couragement than any other gov
ernment in the world gives to its
inventors. The great inventors
American history have caused
industrial development, each
ing by his genious and
en employment to millions. Frank
lin with his electricity; Howe with
his machine; McCormick with his
reaper, Fulton with his steamboat;
Morse with his telegraph; Bell
with his telephone; Whitney with
his cotton gin; Edison with hi*
lamp, phonograph, motion pic
tures and dozens of other useful I
inventions, and the many other
great inventors of our country
were encouraged in their efforts
because they knew their great
government would protect them
in their ideas.
The country this year is cele
brating the 150th anniversary of
the inauguration of the American
Patent System, and the National
Association of Manufacturers at a
great banquet in New York on
Tuesday night awarded to nine
teen great living American inven
tors, the modern counterparts of
Edison, Bell, Fulton and others,
special honors and awards, calling
them “Modern Pioneers on the
Frontiers of American Industry.”
I attended the dinner along with
Chairmap Kramer of our Com
mittee, and was glad to see some
of our Georgia Manufacturers
there, notably Mr. Anderson of
Bibb Manufacturing Company.
It was inspiring to meet and
shake hands with these great in
ventors. I went up by plane dur
ing the snow, leaving Washington
at 4:30 and arriving at the air
port at Newark in one hour and
five minutes. Although it snowed
so we couldn’t see Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and Trenton as we
passed over those cities, the trip
was smooth and comfortable, and
I had a profound respect for Mr.
Wright, one of the inventors of
the plane, when I shook hands
with him one hour later at the
banquet.
Sincerely,
A. SIDNEY CAMP.
