New "Tag-Tax”
Law Goes Into
Effect in Jan.
Tax officials from a nine county
area assembled In Griffin, Wed
nesday, October 5, to learn what
to do when the new “tag-tax”
law goes Into effect January Ist.
The seminar, one of seventeen
held by the State Revenue Depart
ment, Introduced tax officials to
nev procedures required In ad
ministering the new law and to
much slmpller methods of apply
ing for motor vehicle titles.
Mrs. Ruby Hill, Tax Commis
sioner of Spalding County, was
hostess to a large number of tax
officials and members of their
staffs from Lamar, Butts, Jas
per, Henry, Newton, Rockdale,
Carroll and Douglas Counties.
The seminar was held at the
courthouse In Griffin.
The State Legislature passed
the new “tag-tax” law during
Its 1966 session.
Under the law all taxing of
ficials are now required to col
lect ad valorem taxes due on all
motor vehicles when the tag is
purchased.
It is estimated that tens of
thousands of dollars in county
revenue have been lost because
taxpayers have not paid ad val
orem taxes, on their motor ve
hicle.
On a state wide basis this loss
has been estimated to exceed
$5,000,000.00 according to Henry
B. Niemeyer, Director of the
Motor Vehicle Unit, Georgia .de
partment of Revenue, “the b^slc
requirement of the new law is
that everyone who owns a motor
vehicle must now pay an ad
valorem tax on that vehicle at
the time he buys his license tag
rather than at the end of the
year as he has In the past.
The goal of these seminars is
to make certain that every tax
official and member of his staff
has a working knowledge of the
laws’ requirements.
"We have modified our internal
control system and have set new
methods of operation so that we
can be of greatest help to county
tax commissioners and asses
sors.
There is also an Important
change in automobile title regu
lations and these were explained
at the seminar.

a Cardiograph Machine, so a
heart patient might be taken care
of here when rushed to the hos
pital. . .instead of having to rush
them on to Atlanta and then it
might be too late. . .We bought
an electric Emergency Table, at
cost of $1,700; a Fracture Table;
Cost $2,300; Electrocardiograph
Machine, and of course the Book
Cart. . .Well, suppose you talk
to one of them and SEE all
they want to do, and are doing.
But you be at that barbecue, en
joy the delicious food, and as you
pay for it. . .KNOW. . .that all
profit will go to YOUR Newton
County Hospital for more fine
equipment. Just ask them what
the Auxiliary has meant in pur
chases of fine equipment. But the
Auxiliary could not do this with
out YOUR cooperation. Go! Eat!
Enjoy the food, but most of all
the fellowship there. . . of just
being with your friends. . .and
all knowing you came to help
better equip the Hospital! The
Hospital Auxiliary could do
nothing in the way of raising
money for the Hospital without
your full cooperation! So YOU
are making this work possible.
Realize that and GO! GO.. .that
is to the Bar-Be-Cue!
Our praise goes to the Jay

wide-awake young men of our
community. . .our future is in

Malcolm is the capable President
of this fine group for the new year!
He, with his group will make this
an outstanding evening, in the
memory of all who are present!
Folks, just listen to this date:
October 20th & 21st. . .which
falls on Thursday and Friday
nights! Keep that date in mind
for one of Newton County Thea
ters finest productions. The play
being presented is “The Curious
Savage.” Wow! aren’t you just
achin’ to know who that Savage
is? Where? Newton High School.
Get your tickets. . .don’t get
crowded out over there. . .and
you know what? The proceeds
vill go to benefit Oxford Ceme
tery Foundation. Be there with
your entire family! No such
plays can be staged except with
the help of Mr. E. N.? Anybody
know who that is? YOU BET!
Well, the door bell rang! We
go to it, just back from hospital
and not feeling too good. . .and
we thought we had it at the hos

MAN! Guess we will be well
on the road to recovery folks. . .

WHEAT FOR NEWTON COUNTY
As you know the wheat allot
ments have been increased here
in Newton County and you maybe
thinking about planting more or
maybe planting some for the first
time in several years.
Soil selection is very im
portant. Use a productive, well
drained soil.
Plant a variety which is good
for Newton County. Also, make
sure the seed are treated with a
recommended fungicide.
Varieties that do well here in
Newton County are: Anderson,
Ga. 1123, and Wakeland Chan
cellor, coker Hadden and Bled
soe.
For grain you need to drill
one to one and a half bushels
per aers. For grazing or sil
age use two to two and a half
bushels per acre.
The general fertilizer require
ments can be met by using 400
to 600 pounds of 6-12-12 or
5-10-15 per acre. Topdresswith
40 to 60 pounds of actual nitrogen
per acre for grain. For grazing
use 80 to 100 pounds.

BULLS MAKE THE HERD
Are you satisfied with the cal
ves your herd bull sired this
year?
If you are not, you won’t be
satisfied with the next group of
calves, either. Sell that herd
bull if you are not completely
satisifed with the calves.
By selling the bull you now
face the problem of buying an
other one, and you don’t want
to make the same mistake again.
So, let’s consider a few items
before making that purchase.
The bull that you select as a
herd bull should have a good
milking cow as his mother. His
mother should be a good enough
milker to have weaned him weigh
ing at least 500 pounds with no
creep feed.
The grade for the herd bull
should be Choice. Don’t settle
for less.
It’s true, it will take time to
find the exact one, but I believe
that you will find the time well
spent.
Sell the cull bull, and don’t
buy until you find exactly what
you need in the new one. Re
member, the bull makes the herd.
** * *
AMOUNT OF SILAGE FOR
DAIRY ANIMALS
In feeding silage to dairy an
imals you want to keep in mind
that the idea is to provide the
cow with a balanced ration for
milk production.
Generally, you should dailj'
feed three pounds of silage for
each 100 pounds live weight of
the animal, if hay is fed liberally.
If your hay is limited, five to
seven pounds of silage per 100
pounds of live weight may be fed.
When silage is the only rough
age in the ration the cows should
eat daily seven to 10 pounds of
silage per 100 pounds of live
weight.
The amount of silage a cow eats
depends on the quality and kind
of silage, the size cow, and the
amount of milk she is producing.
I hope that you have had your
forage tested so that you know
the exact value of what you are
feeding your animals, and if you
need information about the For
age Testing Program and how it
can help us here in Newton
County, contact my office.
