afternoon program in the big tent,
the farm women will have oppor- i
tunities to. discuss the fast, new
electric ranges. They will see, too.
how the ranges operate as eco

vice offering half the conenivence,
and how, by the use of automatic
devices, the range can relieve the
home maker from a great deal of
kitchen drudgery. They will show
how the home maker may have a
complete hot meal ready to serve
at suppertime and still spend the
whole afternoon away from the
kitchen.

Georgians' Clothes
Cost Manu Million .
Dollars .. Each V, i Year
A Cabinet member once caused j
a mammoth tempest in a small tea
pot by suggesting that a great;
many Georgians needed shoes .'
Eventually the lady was reason
ably assured that most Georgians
erage Georgia citizen is not a very
large one. According to the latest
estimates avaiIable from the Bu
reau of Census there is about
$100,000,000 each year spent for
clothes in the State. That figures
Qut about $3Q for each ciUzen No
fi g gre avaiIable to show the
precjs;? distribution between rural
anc j areas, because clothing
unlike food, may be purchased at
a distance.
In the 1939 General Assembly,
the bloc fighting plans to provide
an adequate revenue system for
Georgia that would permit full
payment of appropriations for
schools, health work and pensions
contended that the projected min
imum sales tax would be a “crush
ing burden on food and clothing."
Actually, the tax upon clothing
would have amounted to 60c an
nually per person, or only five
cents a month.
The new Federal Census, which
will be complete this fall, will
contain much additional data upon
the spending habits of Georgians.
It wall confirm previous statistic
al finding that Georgians spend
more annually for new autos than
for food, and more for utility bills
than for clothing.

Georgia Progresses
In Its Battle Against
Peril to Dairy Cattle
Commisioner of Agriculture Co.
lumbus Roberts, himself a dairy
man, can point with pride to the
Progress made in Georgia during
the past three years in the eradi
cation of Bang’s disease, contagi
ous abortion in cattle, which is
considered one of the chief sources
of undulant fever In man.
under the State law, passed ; n
1937 • testing of dairy and beef
cattle has been carried on intens
ively in forty-seven counties vet
erinarians, supervised by Dr. J.
M. Sutton, State Veterinarian. Up
to January 1, this year, more than
98,000 herds, comprising 661,000
animals, throughout the state, had
been tested for the dread disease.
No known cure for Bang’s dis
ease by medical remedies has as
yet been found. The only hope of
control and eradication, at pres
ent, is through the slaughter of in
fected animals and cleaning and
disinfecting barns, pastures and
lots, as a protection to disease-free
animals. In carrying out this phase
of the program more than 21,000
animals have been slaughtered.
Owners of slaughtered animals
are partly indemnified through
payments amde from Federal and
State appropriations.
Twenty-eight Georgia counties
have been dec]ared modified ac
credited Bang’s disease-free and
the state now ranks second in the
union in the number of counties
given this rating. The demand for
the services of veterinarians of the
department to carry out testing
and other control measuies is tax
' n ® the t^cilities of the department
“We just can’t get to ’em fast
enough,” says Dr. Sutton.
Average yield of lint per acre
for all of Georgia’s one-variety
cotton growers was 277 pounds
i H c/ v *ar rorrmared with the state
ty producers planted 329,499 acres
or 17 per cent of the state’s total
cotton acreage in 1939.
