Signup Period Extended For Cotton,
Feed Grain And \X heat Div. Programs
The cotton, wheat and feed
grain program signup period has
been modified for Georgia, ac
cording to Rufus Adams, Chair
man of the Georgia ASC State
Committee. The previous clo
sing date was March 3. The
final date for counties in Geor
gia now is March 17, 1967.
The State committee has de
termined a signup period which
will insure that all farmers have
an opportunity to discuss the
programs with ASC county of
fice people and to make up their
minds about taking part. In some
counties where there are a large
numbers of farms, there were
not enough hours available in the
original signup period to accom
modate all farmers in the county
offices. Also, bad weather In
some areas made a revision of
signup time necessary.
Signup is the essential first
step toward participation in a
farm program. No extension is
anticipated for adverse weather
or other reasons; therefore, far
mers should not wait until the
last minute to enroll. The final
date of March 3 to sign up in
the Cropland Adjustment Pro
gram was not changed in view of
the fact that present requests
under this program generally
have already exceeded avail
able funds.
Farm program officials point
out that the United States has
more cropland that is currently
needed to meet dem and for crops.
However, the national wheat
acreage allotment for 1967 is
nearly a third larger than for
1966, and the feed grain program
aims to divert only about half
as many acres as in 1966. The

wheat program offers no diver
sion payments, and the feed grain
program offers diversion pay
ments only to small farmers. 3 he
cotton program continues to en
courage farmers to divert as
much as 35 percent of their al
lotments so as to reduce the sur
plus. Even though acreage diver
sion goals vary from one pro
gram to another, farm program
officials emphasize that the law
makes the programs available to
all farmers, and the signup per
iod has been changed to assure
them of the opportunity to par
ticipate.

AT&T Speaker
Jimmy Lloyd, a graduate of Ca
pital Radio Engineering School,
Washington, D. C„ who Is now
serving as Southeastern employ
ment supervisor of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, was the guest speaker at the
January meeting of the Industrial
Arts Club of Newton County High
School.
During his most Informative
and interesting talk, he explained
the organization of AT&T and
told of Its different divisions. He
also discussed the employment
opportunities, wage scales, and
fringe benefits. He said that a
good general high school educat
ion would be adequate for em
ployment since the company has
Its own job training program.
Chaplain Ted Moody presented
an unusual devotional using John
6:43 as his Scripture. Then he
paraphrased the verse to read:
“Mr. Burke, therefore answered
and said unto his class, ‘Boys,
let’s dispense with the talking.’’
In his comments he stressed
thinking before speaking.
During the business session,
President Lanier Adams urged
all committees to continue work

tive made the ideas clear to the

from the Newton High Club were
Teresa Ison, Sand! Ison, Pat

cock, Bill Marks, Bob Marks,

Gamma Tri-Hi-Y
Has Project At
Play Presentation
On January 19, the auditorium :
of Newton County High School •
became the location for the pre- :
sentatlon of a series of high sc- •
hool one act plays competing for !
the state championship. Students ;
from surrounding areas as well
as from Newton County worked
diligently to display their sets and •
talents at best advantage.
The Gamma Tri-Hi-Y the Ch
ristian organization of Junior ;
girls, quickly recognized the op
portunity to make their contribut
ion. The cast and crew of each
high school participating found
Cokes and cookies waiting after
performances.
By creating a lot of warm
smiles and sighs of appreciation,
the Gamma girls found that a sc
hool project really can be worth
while.
The longer the fiber, the
better the quality of cotton.
