Pulp and Paper Industry Main
Factor in Georgia's Economy
The pulp and paper industry
and related forest activities in
Georgia constitute a factor of
major importance in the state’s
over-all economy.
Figures compiled by the
Southern Pulpwood Conserva
tion Association show, for ex
ample, that the ten primary
pulp and paper mills in Geor
gia provide employment for ap
proximately 11,264 persons.

erations provide jobs for an
other 1.464, making a total of
about 12,728.
The annual payroll for mill
employees is more than $60.3
million, while workers in forest
and reforestation have a pay
roll of about $5.8 million, mak
ing a total in excess of $66
million.
Georgia, the SPCA figures
show further, leads all South
ern states in production of
nulpwood and in the value of
that production. In 1960, the
latest year for which statistics
are available, the state’s pulp
wood output was 4,905,800
cords, an all-time high. The
value of this harvest was $98,-
116,000.
Significant, too, is the fact
that 79 per cent of the total
nulpwood harvest in Georgia
was purchased from farmers
and other independent owners.
Only 21 per cent was harvest
ed from lands owned by the
pulp and paper industry.
As part of a continuing pro
gram of planned reforestation,
tne pulp and paper industry and
independent suppliers of pulp
wood planted and distributed
78,761,200 tree seedlings in
Georgia during the 1960-61
season.
Also, for the best possible
handling of their own fores’!
lands, as well as to give aid
to individual landowners, the
pulp and paper companies in
Georgia employ 321 foresters.
In a single year expenditures
for forest improvement totaled
$7,343,600
Giving aid to worthy youths
interested in making a career
of forestry is another impor
tant company function. In this
connection the pulp and paper
industry in the state provided
। 18 scholarships in 1960. At the j
: same time, 202 youths attend- I
ed company-sponsored forest
camps, and the industry con
ducted 54 school forest pro
grams in Georgia.
An additional continuing ac
tivity, aimed at aiding long
range woodland development,
is Pilot Forest sponsorship. In
Georgia the industry has 18
Pilot Forest programs under
way on privately-owned wood
lands. Under continued indus
try supervision,, these forests
function as a permanent labo
ratory for surrounding owners ,
students, and others interested |
I in good forestry practices.
Further proof of the wide
। spread importance of pulpwood
; production in Georgia’s agri
| cultural picture may be seen
! in the fact that the wood is
produced in 158 of the state's
159 counties. At the latest
check, leading were Ware,
Camden and Wayne, with pulp
wood harvests valued at $2.-
' 601,480. $2,533,880 and $2,451,-
I 380, respectively.
This pulpwood purchased by
! Georgia's primary pulp and
paper mills is used to produce
a wide variety of products
which are converted into hun
। dreds of consumer items essen
tial to every-day living. Among
the products of the primary
mills are kraft wrapping, bag
i and converting paper; un
' bleached kraft container board;
: bieached sulphate board: wet
finish liner: semi-chemical
i pulp, and liner board; bleached
I sulphate pulp, and dissolving
pulp.
With the state's tremendous
| forest resources and the sus
j mined programs for conserva
■ lion, improvement and develop
ment of its woodlands, there is
every indication that Georgia
will continue to hold a pre-
I eminent place in meeting the
j every-growmg demand for pa
per and paper products.

These zlnniai are railed Peppermint Stick far their unusual
flowers, striped in unusual combinatioM of two different colors.
Zinnias are one of the few flowers that have so many types
and forms that an entire garden can be made using only Uses*
variations. Since this annual is so easily grown, a garden full of zin
nias should appeal particularly to the owner of a new, bare lot.
Colorful yet inexpensive, a
zinnia garden must start with
planning heights of plants and
choosing kinds and varieties of
this versatile flower.
In the background of the gar
den, where 3 foot plants would
look best, types like Giant Hy
brid, Giant Dahlia-flowered,
Ciant Cactus-flowered or Giants
of California zinnias could be
used. Two new varieties, named
Cherry Time and Lilac Time
for their flower colors, are of
special interest. Both belong to
the Giant Cactus-flowered type.
In the foreground of the gar
den, where plants growing about
a foot are needed in front of
taller ones, Mexicans zinnias,
like the 1962 All-America Se
lections winner, Old Mexico, or
the older Persian Carpet, would
be a happy choi’*e.
Old Mexico has larger flowers
than Persian Carpet. to about
2’4 inches across, with petals
of deep mahogany-red, tips and
edges overlaid with gold. Per
sian Carpet comes in mixed col
ors, petals always tipped or
edged with a lighter shade.
In the same height range,
the little Cupid zinnias with
their neat, inch-round, double
blooms on compact plants might
be what you’d prefer. A bit
taller are the LilUput zinnias,
also called Pompon because
that’s what they look like. Both
Georgia Farm Families Repaid
SB-Million so U. S, FHA
Georgia farm families re
paid thirteen and a quarter mil
lion dollars in principal and
interest on U. S. Farmers Home
Administration loans last year,
S, L. Van Landingham, the
agency’s State Director, an
nounced in Atlanta today. This
was 16-1/2 percent above col
lections of the previous year
in the State.
A total of 713 Georgia farm
families completely repaid their
loan in 1961.
Mr. Van Landingham said
the Farmers Home Administra
tion loan program is an out
standing example of those
USDA activities producing
large returns to t h e U. S.
Treasury which nearly balance
out initial cost.
Mr. Van Landingham said the
repayment record of Georgia
farm families demonstrates
their willingness to make sac
rifices, now in order to develop
sound and efficient farms for
the future.
“Farmers Home Administra
tion makes loans to young far
mers, small farmers attempting
to improve their operations,
farmers whose equities have
been wined out by the low re
turns of recent years, and those
hard hit by natural disaster.
Loans are made to both part
time and full-time farmers. Be
fore these borrowers came to
the Farmers Home Administra
tion. they were unable to obtain
credit from any other sources.
“During the past 25 years
about 2 million farmers have
borrowed *5.5 billion from the
Farmers Home Administration
and its predecessors. To date
i they’ve repaid more than $4
i billion of this. Most of the

A major reason for the excel

FHA borrowers in Georgia Mr.
Van Landingham said, is the
management aid supplies by the
agency to all of its borrowers.
“The Farmers Home Admin

guidance and technical aid as
well as credit. The aim is not

but also to provide the entire
farm family greater opportun

said.
He reported that in 1961
