§SB Million
Southern Bell plans to spend
58 million dollars in Georgia dur
ing 1957 to meet the state's grow=
ing telephone needs, according
to C. C. Sloan, Vice President
and General Manager.
This exceeds all previous pro
grams for the state by the com
pany and is 16 million dollars
more than the record expendi
ture for 1956, according to Mr.
Sloan.
“Only the most optimistic,”
said the telephone official,
“would have predicted several
years ago that telephone growth
would have continued at such
a high level today. Our telephone
engineers estimate that the
heavy construction program will
probably continue for at least
several years to come.”
As a result of the 1956 pro
gram, 63.000 telephones are ex
pected to be added by the end of
the year bring Georgia's total
to about 784,000. Also, it is ex
pected that 79,500 telephones will
be regraded to a higher type of
sService.
3,628 TELEPHONES IN
COVINGTON
Local Manager, John N. Booth,
states that by the end of 1956
there will be about 3,724 tele
phones in Covington, Georgia.
Ten years ago there were 887
telephones here.
Soil Bank s
Says Sen. Scoff
Cash payments made through
the Republican soil bank are
pouring into the politically sensi
tive farm area, according to fig
ures being released slowly by
the Agriculture Department.
Sen. Kerr Scott (D., N.C.) ob
tained from the department fig
ures showing that, of the $260
million being paid out, ‘“the 12
Midwestern states that make up
the politically fertile farm belt
received 75 percent of the entire
soil-bank expenditure for this
year.”
Calls It “Slush Fund”
Commenting on this concentra
tion of Republican farm relief,
Senator Scott said the Eisen
hower Administration “is mak
ing a political slush fund out of
the soil bank.”
Scott is a member of the Sen
ate Agriculture Committee, and
has been Commissioner of Agri
culture in North Carolina, as
well as Governor. He is a farm
er.
The Senator also pointed out
that the Eisenhower Administra
tion opposed the soil bank vigor
ously before embracing it as an
election-year effort to “cover up
the failures of the present farm
policy.”

Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson,'
first opposed the soil bank in |
January of 1954, when he told |
|the Republican Chairman of a |
| House appropriations subcom- |
imittee that the soil bank was |
| “unworkable.”
1 A year later, Benson opposed |
a Democratic soil-bank bill on |
txhe grounds that it would be |
| “too costly” and that the depart- ‘
ment already had a program to |
induce necessary adjustments.
He also opposed a soil-bank bill
by Sen. Hubert H. Humphreyl
{(D., Minn.), on the grounds, |
among others, that rewarding |
farmers for not producing would |
not be ‘“acceptable.” :
I‘ “Like Bees In Clover” |

{asked Congress to pass a soil

iunder various names, but got

Chicago Trip |

Won by 4-H'ers
Judging Skill
Four Georgia boys have won
a trip to Chicago with their live
stock judging skill, but accord
ing to the Agriculiural Extension
Service livestock specialists and
county agents who worked with
them, their increased knowledge
of farm animals is worth more
than the award.
The four who will compete
for national honors at the In
ternational Livestock Exposition
in Chicago late next month are
4-H'ers Mack Register, Lowndes
county; Ernest Thorne, Jenkins:
David Baker, Seminole, and

Service animal husbandman at
the College of Agriculture. But
he added this is not the primary
|reason the Southeastern Fair and
[the Trust Company of Georgia
| sponsor, and extension conducts,
|the 4-H meat animal judging pro
"gram. “Four-H livestock judging
contests train club members to
know the difference between
good, average, or poor cattle,
swine, and sheep.
“The use of breeding classes
of animals,” he continued, “en
ables the younsters to evaluate
|livestock from the breeder’s point
i‘of view, Members learn what to
:‘u,ok for in selecting animals for
|a breeding herd. This is vital if
|livestock is to be bought and
sold intelligently.”
; The animal husbandman point
|ed out that contestants also are
| required to judge® classes of
Islaughter steers, fat lambs, and
|market barrows when these
| classes of livestock are available.
iThis helps 4-H'ers to learn what
|type of animal the market is de
;mandjng, he explained. “Such
knowledge,” Williams state d
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The State!
“serves a two-fold purpose: it
'helps members to know what
type of animal to produce and
the value of the animal when it
is ready to sell.”
Williams said another import
ant factor in 4-H livestock judg
ing is giving reasons. For ex
‘ample, the, contestant must tell
why animal 1 is placed first while
animal 2 is placed second and
so on down the iine.
“Giving reasons offers the con
testant an opportunity to express
|himself and to stand up for his
'convictions or decisions,” Wil
' liams declared. “Training of this
|type is an investment or in
surance in himself and the live
|stock industry for the future.”
| It was pointed out that live
|stock judging is only oné of
Imany 4-H animal activities. In
