Irrigation Exposition
At Tifton July 1 & 2
The hottest farm subject in
Georgia during the next few
years?
Many of the state’s leading
growers and agricultural work
ers believe it will be irrigation.
They say more and more
people will turn to it in order
to protect their big investments
in land, machinery, seed, ferti
lizers and chemicals. As one
agricultural engineer put it, “A
farmer can do everything just
right, then be wiped out by a
severe drought-without irri
gation.”
To help meet the growing
demand for irrigation infor
mation, the Rural Devel
opment Center at Tifton will
stage an irrigation exposition
on July 1 and 2. Willis E.
Huston, agricultural engineer
with the University of Georgia
Cooperative Extension Service,
said it will be one of the largest
and most complete irrigation
shows ever held in the South
east. Huston is the exposition’s
program chairman.
Identical programs will be
presented both days. Each will
feature an indoor morning
session in the Rural Life
Building at Abraham Baldwin
Agricultural College, and ex
hibits and demonstrations of
irrigation equipment at nearby
First Baptist Church.
Surviving are her husband, 0.
Lamar Mitchum of Ludowici; a
daughter, Mrs. Juanita Kirksey
of Lakeland, Fla.; a son, Lamar
Mitchum Jr., of Ludowici; two
brothers, Alton Webb of Jesup
and Elmer Webb of Sarasota,
Fla., and five grandchildren.
Funeral services for Mrs.
Mitchum were held at the
graveside at 11 a.m. Saturday
in the Baggs Cemetery with
Rev. J. R. Daniel officiating.
The Rinehart and Sons Funeral
Home of Jesup was in charge
of arrangements.

Baldwin Lake during the after
noon. Robert H. Brown, chair
man of the division of agri
cultural engineering. University
of Georgia, will preside over
the July sessions.
Registration each day will
begin at 9 a.m. The program
will get under way at 10 o’clock
with a welcome and opening
remarks by S. E. Younts,
director of the Rural Devel-
opment Center. Henry W.
Garren, dean and coordinator
of the College of Agriculture,
will make the keynote address
at 10:10 a.m.
Papers will be presented on
management with irrigation,
water supply, power supply
and economics of irrigation.
From 2 to 5 p.m. each
afternoon has been set aside to
view equipment displays and
irrigation demonstrations.
Huston said virtually every
type of irrigation system man
ufactured in the United States
today may be seen at the July
1-2 exposition.
Farmers, growers and pro
ducers from a wide area are
expected to attend the event.
Huston said visitors will come
from surrounding states, as
well as from Georgia. County
agents, vocational agriculture
teachers and other agricultural
workers will accompany many
groups to Tifton.
The exposition is the first
event sponsored by the Rural
Development Center, which is
a cooperative program of the
College of Agriculture, Abra
ham Baldwin College and other
units of the University System
of Georgia.
A 12-man program com
mittee has been working with
Huston and the RDC staff for
months to bring interested
persons the latest information
and equipment available on the
subject of irrigation.
“We doubt there’ll be many
farm programs presented in
Georgia this year that will
create more interest, or be
more important to the future
of crop production in this
state,” said Huston.

Vets Children
To Get Benefit
Increase
The Veterans Administration
reported nearly 51,000
children will receive a 10
percent increase in benefits
under a new law, which also
enlarges the definition of
“children” for purposes of
veterans benefits.
Administrator of Veterans
Affairs Donald E. Johnson said
these benefits, which become
effective July 1, 1970, will
amount to about $3.6 million
the first year.
The new law makes the
adopted child of a veteran (for
benefit purposes) a dependent
from the date an interlocutory
(intermidiate) decree is filed,
rather than the date it becomes
final.
The law covers payments
(dependency and indemnity
compensation -DIC) to
widows, certain children, and
parents of veterans and service
men ’ if death of the veteran
or serviceman was caused by a
service-connected disease or
injury.
Johnson said the law provides
DIC to children (where there is
no widow entitled) at increased
monthly rates of SBB for one
child, $127 for two children,
$164 for three children, with
an extra $32 added to this rate
for each child in excess of
three.
Monthly supplementary DIC
payments are raised from $29
to $32 for children under 18
who are permanently disabled
and incapable of self-support.
Benefits for children above 18
will be increased from SBO to
SBB monthly.
The VA administrator added
that if the child is a student 18
to 23 years of age (and the
widow or mother is entitled to
DIC), the payment will be
increased from s4l to $45
monthly.
WAR ORPHANS’
SHOULD CHECK
ON GI BENEFITS
Atlanta — A number of
high school graduates plan
ning to attend college are apt
to miss out on educational
benefits under the GI Bill just
because of some misunder
standings.
Georgia Veterans Service
Director Pete Wheeler said
that there are several of these
“misunderstandings” which
tend to keep eligible children
of veterans from applying for
educational benefits.
“The fact that one parent
still lives makes some children
believe that they do not quali
fy as ‘war orphans’,” says
Wheeler, “while actually there
are three circumstances where
by a child may be classified as
a ‘war orphan’. These are:
(1) a child of a veteran who
has a total and permanent
service-connected disability;
(2) a child of a veteran who
died of a service-connected
disability, or (3) a child of a
veteran who died of any
cause while rated permanently
and totally service-connected
disabled.”
Many young people believe
they are no longer “children”
because they are married.
Eligibility is not affected
by marriage, according to
Wheeler. He says, “Any child
of a qualified veteran is eligi
ble for the educational bene
fits provided that the child is
between 18 and 26 years of
age.” And Wheeler says that
there are even exceptions to
these age limits.
Another area of misunder
standing develops when the
living parent, usually the
mother, remarries and the
children are legally adopted
by their step-father. These
children are still eligible for
benefits.
In any event, children or
parents having some question
as to eligibility should contact
the nearest office of the Geor
gia Department of Veterans
Service at the earliest oppor
tunity.
Through 1970, domestic steel
producers will have spent
nearly $29 billion since 1950
for modernization and
improvement of facilities.

Vital Aerospace Role
For Women In Air Force
Today’s modern young
woman in the United States
Air Force, and her modern new
uniform, has about as much in
common with her counterparts
and their uniforms of over two
decades ago as the jet liner has
to the Wright Brothers’ first
airplane.
According to Lieutenant
Jessie A. Moore, WAF
Recruiting Officer, the only
real link is in the desire to serve
America and our nation’s
ideals.
Today’s Women in the Air
Force (WAF) are h >gh school
graduates, carefully selected
for training which prepares
them for the complex duties
they perform on the Aerospace
Team. This same training and
experience is often later carried
