Three quarters of a century ago, in March of 1871, The Life Insurance
Company of Virginia was founded. As the cornerstone of its business
character, it then dedicated itself to the principle that it should be
“as safe as any insurance company can be.”
Today, after seventy-five years’ service to policyowners, the
company’s records proclaim the fidelity with which this principle has
been adhered to and promoted. More than one and one-half million
policies in force bear witness to the public’s faith and good will; more
than one hundred and seventy-three millions of dollars paid out under
policy contracts exemplify the practical value of its past operations.
A conservative yet forward-looking management and a consistent
growth have advanced the company to a position of prominence and
impressive stability.

Outstanding Industrial, Farm Leaders
Io Speak At Macon Conference April 4
“The meeting scheduled for
Macon on Thursday, April 4, will
be one of the most important
ever held in Georgia,” stated H.
L. Wingate, president of the Geor
gia Farm Bureau Federation, in
discussing the value of the ses
sion to the farmers of the state.
Coming to the state for this
farm-industry conference, spon
sored by the Georgia Farm Bu
reau Federation and the Associ
ated Industries of Georgia, will
be some of the nation's outstand
ing leaders in the field of agri
culture, industry and business,
Mr, Wingate said.
In the field of agriculture will
be Edward A. O'Neal, of Chicago,
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, whose ad-
dress will be the highlight of the
meeting from the farmers stand
point. It is confidently expected
that 1,500 to 2,000 members of
the Georgia Farm Bureau Feder
ation will avail themselves of
this opportunity to hear the
AFBF chief, and many business
and industrial leaders will be at
tracted to Macon for this phase
of the one-day program.
Robert R. Wason, of New York,
president of the National Associ
ation of Manufacturers, is another
national figure scheduled for a
major address at the April 4
meeting. He is internationally
known and is a man of wide in
fluence and ability whose ap
pearance in Macon will bring
business and industrial leaders
from every section of the state.
He will be introduced by Nor
man Elsas, of Atlanta, member
of the NAM Board of Directors.
Top-ranking officials of the U.
S. Treasury Department will re
veal for the first time in Georgia
an official account of the recent
world monetary conference held
in Savannah and its effect on
agriculture throughout the world-
Farmers, business and industrial
leaders are looking forward with
keen interest to the addresses of
the Treasury officials, as well as
others who are to appear on the
program.
Walter S. Brown, director of
Extension Service of the Univer
sity of Georgia, will occupy a
prominent part in the proceedings
of the conference. During the
past year, Director Brown and
THE COVINGTON NEWS
members of his staff appeared
at district Farm-Industry con
ferences throughout the state and
the leadership of these agricul
tural experts was of much value
to those comprising the district
groups.
The Macon meeting is designed
primarily to bring about a closer
spirit of cooperation by various
organizations in the state and to
correlate the efforts and interests
for the common good of all con
cerned, H. R. Yandle, GFBF
director of public relations, an
nounced, “and to accomplish
these commendable objectives,
some of the nation’s most pro
minent leaders will take part in
the April 4 program in Macon,”
he said.
Cooperating with the Georgia
Farm Bureau Federation and the
Associated Industries of Georgia
in the furthcoming conference
are the College of Agriculture of
the University of Georgia, Geor
gia Bankers Association, and the
Cotton Manufacturers Association
of Georgia.
H. L. Wingate, president of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation,
and E. G. Hitt, of Atlanta, presi
dent of the Associated Industries
of Georgia, will proside at the
conference. Erle Cocke, chairman
of the farm-industry committee
of the AIG, will introduce the
U. S. Treasury representative.
Presidents of the Farm Bureau
organizations of the states ad
joining Georgia; governors of
many of the southern states, con
gressmen and senators have been
invited, many of whom will be
in the Central City for the con
ference. South Carolina Farm
Bureau President E. H. Agnew
will be accompanied to the meet
ing by a large delegation from
his state.
The meeting will continue for
approximately three hours, Yandle
said, which will make it possible
for Farm Bureau members from
every section of the state to re
turn to their respective home the
same day. It is confidently pre
dicted by Farm Bureau officials,
bankers and industrial leaders
that a minimum of 3,000 people
will fill the Macon Municipal
Auditorium for the April 4 ses
sion.
Treat Cotton Seed
To Increase Yield,
Farm Agent Urges
Cotton farmers in Newton
County can boost their yields
by elimination of seed-borne dis.
eases, County Agent J. W. Scog
gins asserted this week. A rot
ary cotton seed treater can be
contructed at small cost from
I a discarded oil drum or barrel,
| he continued.
Mr. Scoggins urged cotton
i growers to consider this inex
pensive method in order that
they might boost their yields
through elimination of seed
born diseases. Such diseases,
'he said, can be removed from
' cotton seed by treating with
I three ounces of two percent
Ceresan or one and one-half
: ounces of five percent new im
proved Ceresan per bushel of
: seed.
As to directions for using the
; rotary treater, Mr. Scoggins said
| fill the barrel from one-half
. to two-thirds full and pour in
the right amount of Ceresan,
1 then rotate the barrel for about
five minutes.
He warned that “Ceresan is
| poisonous, so treat the seed in
’ the open and avoid inhaling the
I Ceresan dust.”
Complete information on con
| structing the rotary seed treater
iis available from Mr. Scoggins’
office.
Insurance Company's
Condition Is Excellent
“It is gratifying to report that
our company emerged from the
war years in a strong and healthy
condition,” stated Robert E. Hen
ley, president of the Life In
। surance Company of Virginia, in
reviewing the company’s seventy
। fifth annual report, whhih has
1 just been released.
In a letter to the local agency
j organization, Mr. Henley describ
ed last year as a period of un
| paralleled growth. In support of
I this he revealed that operation in
I 1945 had expanded the volume of
! insurance in force to $805,558,728.
a gain of $58,002,215 over the pre
ceding year and the largest in
crease in the company’s seventy
five-year history.
He added that the past year's
increase in assets amounted to
$16,258,246.24. This also he de
| dared to be an all-time high that
। had raised total assets to $170,-
j 415,228.31.
