Ellington County Soil-Water Conservationist

L L '?s*iv-§gé§
C, T. ELLINGTON (right) of the Gum Creek Community was named
as the Outstanding Soil and Water Conservation District Coordina=
tor from Newton County. He was honored and given a citation ata
luncheon meeting in Monroe on November 10. A, E, Hays (left),
District Supervisor of the Upper Ocmulgee River Soil and Water
Conservation District, made the presentation, .
announced that C, T. Ellington of
the Gum Creek Community has
been named the outstanding dis=
trict cooperator in planning and
applying soil and water conser=
vation practices in Newton Coun=
ty for the year 1969,
Mr. Ellington was a guest at a
luncheon meeting of the District
at the V.F,W. Club in Monroe on
November 10th where he was gi=
ven special recognition.
Mr. Ellington operates a 475«
acre beef cattle and poultry farm.
He became a district cooperator
in 1957. Much of the land on his
farm is quite hilly and had a
serious erosion problem at that
time. It was planned that most of
the cropland on the farm would
be planted to permanent pasture,
Mr. Ellington has now established
over 200 acres of improved per=
manent pasture, including 60 ac=
res of coastal bermuda grass.
Only about nine acres now are
being used for cropland.
The woodland on the Ellington
farm is being properly managed
for sustained timber yields. Be
fore it is harvested, the trees to
be cut are marked by a forester
for proper thinning.
This year Mr. Ellington has
had 1800 feet of drainage ditch
es dug to properly drain some
fertile bottom Iland, used for
pasture. Technical assistance for
this ditching was provided by the
Upper Ocmulgee River Soil and
Water Conservation District, th
rough the Soil Conservation Ser
vice.
Mr. Ellington’s well=-kept and
productive farm certainly shows
that he has done a successful job
of conserving his soil and water
resources over the years.
«Tommorow?’s Focd and
Fiber=--Everybody’s Business”’
will be the theme of the annual
Farm=-City Week observance
across the nation November 21=-
2. Special emphasis will
be placed on improving rural=
urban understanding.
And according to Miss
Lora Laine, home management
specialist with the University of
Georgia Cooperative Extension
Service, the occasion will give
all Georgians an opportunity to
become ‘‘partners in progress’’
for the efficient production of
food and fiber.
Miss laine said rural and urban
groups are dependent upon each
other. The farmer depends on
folks in the cities to refine and
market what he produces. In
return he provides food and fiber:
for the nation.

Thursday, November 20, 1969
helping to create many of the jobs
currently held by both urban and
rural people through an
increasing agribusiness complex,
Miss Laine pointed out that
many people, both rural and
urban, do not understand
the benefits we all receive through
the monies allocated to the United
States Departmentof Agriculture,
It is misleading to think all of
the USDA funds go to farming,
she added.
We have all reaped the benefits
from the research and educa
tional programs carried out
by USDA, Miss Laine said. The
convenience foods and even frozen
foods now available to the
consumer are a result of this
research, She also cited the
educational program which
carries the research results to
the consumer,
“puring Farme-City Week is
a good time for us to understand
that from development of
technology we get through
research, we reap the jovs of
efficiency such as seen in one
person producing enough food and
fiber for himself and 42 others,*
Miss Laine saide This releases
those 42 people to be productive
in areas other than food andfiber
production, R also accounts for
our high standard of living, she
added,
Another example can be cited
in our increased efficiency in the
production of food and fiber. We
are the only country in the world
where only 17.2 percent of dis
posable personal income goes for
food. If we lived in England,
France or Russia, we would be
paying up to 53 percent of our
income for our food.
“The farmer is probably one
of the most efficient producers
now receiving government
subsidies and if we value this
efficiency we will see to it that
it is continued so we may continue
to enjoy lower food cost,” Miss
Laine said.
The United States is just one
of four countries where foodbills
are less than the tax bill. Miss
Laine said this points out the
degree of cooperation the rural
and urban consumers enjoy in
America.
