DEN 8. PACK 58

On Monday, March 8 our den
mothers picked us up at the
school. We were then taken up
to the radio station. We went
through the building and saw
the different things that help
to keep the station on the air.
It was all very interesting.
We were interviewed while we
were there. It was played back
on the air at 4:30. We stopped
at “Bill’s Restaurant’’ and had
refreshments. We also listened
to the juke box.
We wish to thank everyone
at the radio station for being
so kind to us and for taking
the time to show us the beau-/
tiful new station we have in
Covington. It is something each
of us can be proud of.

is a tough problem to many an
adult. The sale of it to a minor
is inexcusable. It is the root of
many of our troubles, including
delinquency and traffic acci
dents. It is easy enough to check
ages these days when a driver’s
license is standard equipment
in every wallet and pocket
book. Laziness or greed are the
only excuses for not checking”.
This is only part . . . but young
neonle are not ^’together to
blame . . . and really I do not
feel that this alone is the “root
of our troubles.” The young
neonle do not huv ALL they
drink ... It is the social order
of the day . . . “cocktail oarties”
given by the children’s or young

the real trouble is still within
the home I had occasion to at
tend a convent-on. M’ m ’ young
people were there. After my
return home letters came to me
that many of the voun’ neonle
were drinking. I did not ansver
the lexers until T wrote the
voun’ ladv, who was the hos

vodka, and beer. Sh“ said they
thought it would liven their
convention un and add a litt e
pen to it . . . that ^e was
norrv if some did not )' re it
for she did not see anv wrong
in it. Whv Mother and Dr^dy
always served drinks, and when
I was old enough they ha
cocktail oart’es for, me. and
they alwavs have drinks at an
the parties. She said she was
sorry really, if they thought it
was wrong and she would cer
tainly not do it at a vovng peo
ple’s convention acain. The nice
part of it was that the young
girl told me the truth. She
named the ladies who helned
stage the partv and served the
drinks at her nartv. but each
of them denied that anv strong
drink was served. v es, the
grown-ups are responsible for
what becomes of their children
not in every case, for there
are those brought un in a
Christian atmo'ohere who find
stumb’ing blocks in their path
way. Maybe the girl or boy
they love, and intend to ma r ry
was brought uo differently.
They are so in love that this

did in the Legislature, especi
ally in support of the bill which
placed the Milk Control Board
under the Commissioner of Ag
riculture.
He credited Mr. Ballard as
I the man who offered the com
: promise which made possible
the passing of the bill during
the Legislative session. The
compromise Mr. Ballard offer
ed was in the personnel of the
Board, the fact that the in
' dustry, the producers and the
| processors were to elect the
I members of the Board with
i the Commissioner of Agricul
ture selecting the Chairman and
the Governor selecting the con
sumer members. Mr. Campbell
said this also made the accept
ing of the Milk Control Board
possible in his organization as
he would have refused to have
had anything to de with same
if the office was an apoomtive
one outside of his jurisdiction.
Mr. Campbell said this action
places the entire resnonsibihtv
of the board within its own
body and also gives the con
sumers a voice in its delibera
tions.
Commissioner Camnbell re
viewed the progress of the milk
industry. He said ten years avo
there was a serious problem to
confront. Twenty years ago
there was the same problem
and ten and twentv years from
today the same serious nrobiem
will have to be confronted.
This, in effect, is the producing
and marketing of milk in a
sanitary and efficient manner
whereby those engaged in the
in du st rv will be enabled to pro
gress financially.
He said the dairyman must
necessarily build slowly. Most
of his nrofit is oaner profit and
must he reinvested to make
profitable operation possible.
No one, he stated, can exnect
to begin profitable operation
under a five vear period.
Mr. Campbe l ! 'aid he had
been in deifying since 18 years
of ace when he used the da’rv
as a means of payin’ for his
college education. Since that
time he has been in and out of
dairying for periods of time
and is now beginning to once
more build a dairy herd. He
stated he was going to specia
lize in pure bred Jerseys.
In commenting on the finan
cial outtav he stated each pro
ducing cow. according to a Na
tional survey, rem-e'ented an
investment of $1,800.00.
A man milking a hundred
cows showed an investment of
$180,000.00 He said dairyin’
was a lifetime proposition of
cor'tantlv building a^ets and
while dairving was a slow nro
ce's the prices did not fluctuate
as in other farm products. Dim
ing times of depression milk
only varied a few cents lower
and likewise in prosperous time
milk only raised a few cents.
Milk is a stable product and has
not seen the high prices, or the
low prices of other farm pro
ducts.
Mr. Campbell said milk was
a public utility in the manner
in which it was ragubVd. Also
in the manner in whmh health
boards determined tb a content
of butter fat and processing.
He said at one time a dairy
man could add a laborer and it
would take 10 to 25 cows but
now one man’s labor would
necessitate many more animals
and much more equipment in
machinery, probably 75 to 100
cows.
He cited various experiences
and talks with other Commis
sioners of Agriculture and their
experiences, citing many ex
amples. He said he believed the
Georgia Dairyman was as ef
ficient, if not better, than dairy-

men in other states. This, he
said, is due to the fact that to
survive dairymen must prove
more efficient and adopt more
efficient methods. While there
are less dairyment, those who
have survived are more effi
cient.
Mr. Campbell said he would
like to be able to inspect every
herd in Georgia four times a
year that the farmers may learn
just how their herds are doing
but that monev would not per
mit this as his appropriation
has been cut ten percent and
he is compelled to curtail some
of his inspections as well as
other necessary duties.
He spoke highly of CHff Ward
whom h? has named Chairman
of the M’lk Control Board. He
stated he was an instructor at
the University of Georgia un
der whom he had taken courses
and was also a practical dairy
man. He was also a chemist, at
home either in the classroom,
labn’-atnrv or in the d’irv barn.
Mr. Camobeß also snoke most
comnlimentarilv about Red
Smith whom he had named to
take Mr. Ward’s rUace in t^e
Department of A ’’riculture. He
said Georgia farmers were for
tunate to have these men work
in’ with them.
He brought out the fact that
while he was nrimarilv inter
ested in dairying he would not
neglect any other nhase o^ the
Department of A’ricultvre
work to favor anv o*her de
partment, keeping a well round
ed service to every farmer in
Georgia.
