FOOD, And The Soldier
IT TAKES A LOT OF FOOD to keep a soldier fighting
some 210 pounds a month, according to SFC Joseph A. Long
of Hopewell, Va., a food specialist with the Army’s Vietnam
grocers, the Ist Log. Command. Almost half of that pound
age is fresh food, such as meat, vegetables, fruit, and dairy
products. When the tactical situation permits, Long says,
fresh foods are on the serviceman’s menu at least once a
day. Favorites are steak and American ice cream. Also pou
ular with the troops are specially-prepared Vietnamese
grown tomatoes, peppers, and salad greens. “Regularly,”
says Long, "almost every American can find his favorite
food on the menu.” (ANF)

Deadline Near
For 1966 Feed
Grain Program
Growers were reminded to
day that April 1 Is the last day
for filing applications to take
part in the 1966 feed grain pro
gram.
Rufus Adams, Chairman,
Georgia Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation State
Committee, points out that only
growers who participate In the
program will be eligible for price
support on their 1966 crops of
corn, barley, and grain sorg
hums. As last year, the support
Is made available through loans,
purchases, and price-support
payments.
Besides qualifying for price
support loans, purchases, and
payments, the participating
grower also earns a diversion
payment for shifting part of his
feed grain base to a conserving
use; the payment does not apply
to the first 20-percent diver
sion except on farms with small
bases. The price-support pay
ments may be earned on the pro
jected production from an acre
age up to 50 percent of the total
feed grain base for the farm
by planting one or more of the
feed grains corn, grain sorg
hums, or barley, or by planting
soybeans In Heu of a feed grain.
The Chairman urges farmers
who are Interested In taking part
In this year’s feed grain pro
gram to call at their ASCS County
office as soon as possible, since
there will be no extension be
yond April 1, and signing up Is a
necessary first step in program
participation.
Through March 11,29,376 gro
wers in the State had signed
up to divert 720,000 acres for
payment under the 1966 feed
grain program. Department of
Agriculture officials are stress
ing the continued need for full
participation In the 1966 feed
grain program. Feed grain
stocks remain more than suf
ficient.

Cotton Farmers
Reminded Os 1966
Signup Deadline
Cotton farm operators were
reminded of the fast-approaching
deadline for signing up to take
part in the 1966 Upland Cotton
Program. The last day for fil
ing a program application Is Fri
day, April 1.
Rufus Adams, Chairman,
Georgia Agricultural Stabilizat
ion and Conservation State Com
mittee, emphasizes the Import
ance of signing up before the
deadline. Program benefits In
clude diversion payments and
price-support payments In ad
dition to the regular cotton price
support loan. But all program
benefits, including the cotton
loan, will be available only to
farmers who sign up and then
carry out the intentions In
dicated In the application.
Cotton farmers on the larger
farms take part in the program
by reducing their cotton plantings
by at least 12.5 percent below
the farm’s effective allotment
and meeting other program pro
visions. As much as 35 percent
of the allotment may be diverted
for payment.
Growers on small farms (with
allotments not over 10 acres or
with a projected production of
3,600 pounds or less) will re
ceive payment without having to
reduce plantings. If the oper
ator chooses to reduce the acre
age on such a farm, an additional
diversion payment will be made
on the acres actually diverted
at the level signed up.
Through March 11 cotton grow
ers in Georgia had signed up to
divert 162,300 acres from up
land cotton production under the
1966 cotton program. If the
grower wishes, he may request
half of the estimated diversion
payment to be made in advance
at the time of the signup or as
soon thereafter as possible. The
rest of the diversion payment
and the price-support payment
will be made later after pro
gram performance has been de
termined.

Buying Seed?
Check Label!
With spring and warmer
weather already here, the Con
sumer and Marketing Service
of the U. S. Department of Agri
culture once again cautions far
mers and gardeners to read the
label carefully when buying seed.
It either tells the truth or
violates the Federal Seed Act.
Violations have dropped con
siderably since the law was pass
ed In 1939, thanks to efforts of
the Consumer and Marketing Ser
vice and state officials.
However, the Consumer and
Marketing Service advises seed
buyers to check labeling for kind
of seed, germination rate, purity,
origin of sender and percentage
of weed seeds present.
A bargain may not always be all
the price tag suggest. It’sagood
idea to read the label to be sure
you’re getting what you’re paying
for.

Georgia Cattle Show Set April 4-6;
4-H, FFA Members Get Steers Ready
Four-H and FFA cattle
growers have their best steers
on a pre - show schedule this
month in preparation for the 19th
annual running of the event that
belongs to young people.
The event is the Georgia Cattle
Show. Scheduled for April 4, 5
and 6 at the Southeastern fair
grounds in Atlanta, it is put
on exclusively for 4-H and FFA
members by the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce and nine other
sponsors.
Capturing the grand champion
ship is uppermost in the minds
of the young exhibitors. Toward
this end, many of them are prac
ticing by exhibiting at local
shows, shifting their animals to
a pre-travel diet, and spending
hours doing grooming and fitting
chores.
To win in Atlanta is a high
honor, and this year the finan
cial reward is greater, too. Pre
mium money has been doubled.
Cattle will be received and
weighed Monday morning, April
4, and the sifting and classifying
for show order will take place
that afternoon.
Judging and awarding of pre
miums Is scheduled for Tuesday
morning. Tuesday afternoon has
been set aside for the fitting
and showing contest, the group
of - five competition, and sale
order selection. Wednesday,
6, will be sale day.
Premium money is available
for light, medium and heavy
weight classes of Herefords and
Angus, light and heavyweight
Shorthorns, and one class of all
weights for crossbreeds. Up to
17 placed will be awarded in some
classes, and prize money starts
at $75 and goes down to $23.
The fitting and showing con
test Is divided into two age groups
--a junior division for 10thgrad
ers and under and a senior divis
ion for Uth graders and over.
First prize for each division is
$25.
Four-H County and FFA Chap
ter units will be judged for a
stall award. Group exhibits will
be placed on a basis of the gener
al order and condition of the cattle
and premises. Continuous daily
Inspections will be made, and
either a blue, red or white rib
bon awarded to each unit. A
champion plaque and a reserve
champion plaque will go to the
