Georgia Egg
Industry Has
Steady Growth
Eggs you buy in a food store
today most likely were pro
duced here in Georgia. Back in
1955, there was a good chance
they came out of cold storage
and were produced in another
state.
This is just part of the story
of the growth of the Georgia
commercial egg industry in re
cent years. Now a lot of the
eggs sold in other states come
from Georgia hen houses.
During this time the indus
try has grown from the point
where Georgia had to import
large quantities of eggs to its
present status as a large ex
porter of eggs, according to
Extension Poultryman Jerry
Cox of the University of Geor
gia College of Agriculture.
In 1955 Georgia brought in
“about 20 percent” of its egg
requirements, the poultryman
estimated. Accurate estimates
of the egg business were dif
ficult even as late as 1955 be
cause many were still produc
ed by small home flocks and
sold directly to customers. The
percentage of out-of-state eggs
that went through regular trade
channels was even larger than
20 percent, he said.
In 1961 Georgia sold to oth
er states 22 percent of its com
mercial egg production, reports
by the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service indicate. This is a de
cided shift in the way the mon
ey spent for this diet staple
flows.
Another way to shop the
growth of this business is that
in 1955 the state ranked 18th
in commercial egg production
in the United States. The 1961
production of 2,400,000,000
eggs ranked fourth among the
states and accounted for a gross
income of $89,400,000.
“A significant characteristic
of this growth is that it has
been orderly,” Mr. Cox point
ed out. “It has come through
the development of larger, ef
ficient farm units combined
with the development of effec
tive marketing programs. Con
centrating on quality produc
tion, the state’s commercial
production has grown steadily
despite a declining per capita
egg consumption.”
Indications are that Georgia
commercial egg production will
continue to grow, and that
Georgia eggs will continue to
move into new markets in the
country “as long as our pro
ducers continue to produce
and market a quality product,”
he said.
A large part of today’s food
dollar goes for services, not the
food itself. More than five
million persons in the United
States are employed in pro
cessing and distributing food,
reports Dr. Mary Gibbs, Ex
tension consumer marketing
specialist.

Disabled Veterans
To Receive Pay
Increase in Checks
On or about October 31 some
57,000 disabled veterans in
Georgia will start receiving
checks for increased compensa
tion A. W. Tate, Manager Vet
erans Administration Regional
Office, Atlanta, Georgia, said
today.
Under terms of the new law
signed by the President Sep
tember 7, provision is made in
the October payment for the
amounts of the special increase
covering the three months
preceding October. This ap
plies to the October checks on
ly for those on the compensa
tion rolls on October 1.
Mr. Tate stressed there is no
need for veterans to contact
the Veterans Administration.
The compensation checks are
processed automatically with
electronic data processing
equipment so that the checks
received by veterans with
service - connected disabilities
about October 31 will contain
the first of the increases.
Designed to reflect changes
in the cost of living since
1957, when the last compensa
tion increase for veterans dis
abled in service went into ef
fect, the average payment will
be 9.4 percent more than the
current rate.
Compensation for peacetime
service - connected disabilities
is paid at approximately 80
percent of that for wartime
service-connected disabilities.
The increases are on a slid
ing scale so that the more seri
ously injured veterans are to
recei v e the higher ben
efits. The increase for a vet
eran who is 10 percent disabled
goes from sl9 to S2O a month
and the payment to a 100 per
cent disabled veteran is upped
from $255 a month to $250.
In addition to payments
based upon percentage of dis
ability, additional “statutory”
payments are made for speci
fied disabilities or combina
tions of disabilities such as
blindness, deafness, and loss of
limbs.
Don’t Mix Bleach and Cleaner
Never mix a bleach with
cleaning agents such as toilet
bcwl cleanser, ammonia, lye,
rust remover or oven cleaner.
A poisonous or highly irritating
gas may be formed by the mix
ture. Several persons have
been made ill in this way, and
one death resulted from a wo
man's pouring a cup of bleach
into a toilet bowl while clean
ser was still in the bowl, re
ports W. E. Huston, Extension
engineer.

level business hosts in the cities
to be visited and our delega
tion consists mostly of out
standing Georgia business exe
cutives, who share many in
terests with California counter- ;
parts. Such meetings invari- ■
bly create good will and better
‘image’ of the State.” he said.
We are justly proud of the
work of our State Chamber
and feel sure such tours head
ed by our leaders will bring
sane results for our State.
The “Trux” Magaaine comes
to our desk each month How- i
ever this month it really gave '
us a thrill! Pictured on the
front cover, in color was a
man I knew. I turned hui iedly
inside, and I was not mistaken!
It was Allen Chappell, of
Americus . . . our old home
town!There was a long story
about Allen, which started:
"Few men do as much for their
friends as Allen Chappell, vice
chairman of Georgia Public
Service Commission.” His
mother was one of our moth
er's best friends ... we grad
uated in high school with Al- |
len’s youngest brother . . . who !
now lives in Miami, Florida. '
Too. the Magazine carried the
history of Americus and it’s
wonderful progress, showing
pictures of the new hospital,
Country Club and many other
things. Our heart really throb
lied for Americus and our old
friends, life long friends there.
You couldn't persuade me
(I hope) to go back to Ameri
cus to live for we chose Cov
ington and did not make a
mistake. We love to go back
there occasionally ... for that
feeling or longing just comes
to go back to the scene of your
childhood.
I shall never forget a Jack
son Day Dinner in Atlanta
many years ago. With us was
the State President of the Wo
man’s Club from Eatonton. She
kept watching the distinguish
ed guests come in, but she
couldn’t wait for us to meet her
“favorite Senator Chappell.” I
thought nothing of the name,
I did not know him, neither
did my husband. She thought
he was tops! Suddenly this tall
distinguished man walked in,
and he did not walk . . he ran
to me . . and folded me in his
arms and kissed me! I was as
amazed as was the husband and
the President of the Woman’s
club. Sure enough, it was Al
len Chappell, of Americus, and
he remembered me. After all
he was a little older than his
youngest brother I knew best.
Did you ever go back to the
home of your childhood and
see all the “children” you were
in school with grown-ups with
families? It is a thrilling ex
perience. Thanks for “Trux
Magazine” taking me on a tour
o the old homfe town in pic
ture and story . . . for it has
given me the la ft I needed for
this day!
Cablegrams have come from
“Totsie Mowler” and her hus
band that they arrived safely
in Java . . . and another say
ing they were happily settled.
Housing problems are there, as
in many countries, but they are
finally settled. We hope to be
hearing more of them about I
the country for even “Louly”
had to grab a globe and find
Java . . . trying to see how far
her children would be from her.
We are looking forward to |
some interesting letters from
one of our favorite girls . . .
Tifton . . Today, Wednesday,
is the birthday of “Covington’s
Sweetheart”, or one of them
. . . Mr. E. E. Lee and we join
hosts of friends in wishing him I
many happy returns of this
day. He still writes an inspir- |
ing column in the Baptist
Training Union Magazine which
goes all over the world to I
Baptist Churches. His life has
enriched every life he has
touched and we are grateful j
for you Mr. Lee. Another fine
