PEMBROKE JOURNAL, PEMBROKE, GEORGIA
Georgia Man
Named Man of Year
Birmingham, Ala.—W. T. “Tap”
Bennett, Georgia livestock booster,
has been named 1952 Man of the
Year for Georgia by the edittors
of The Progressive Farmer mag
azine.
The award is announced in the
January issue of The Progressive
Farmer by Alexander Nunn, edi
tor.
Each year The Progressive
Farmer seelcts a man who, ac
cording to Editor Nunn, “has been
outstanding in service to agri
culture during the year or over a
period of years.” This year the
honor goes to Mr. Bennett in rec
ognition of his contributions to
the progress of the livestock in
dustry in Georgia.
“Tap” has been promoting live
stock almost every month since
his graduation* from Georgia’s
College of Agriculture 40 years
ago, says the magazine. Beginning
his career as county agent in his
native county, Jackson, Mr. Ben
nett’s talents were soon recogniz
ed by the Central of Georgia Rail
way and he went with the railroad
[in 1914 as agricultural agent. In
the next 4 years he made an
outstanding record by bringing
into Georgia and Alabama hun
dreds of good beef animals for
breeding herds.
After World War I interrupted
his career, “Tap” went to Spald
ing County, Ga., as county agent.
During the following 11 years he
left a string of "firsts” to his
credit as agricultural leader: the I
first cotton club in the South, the I
first 4-H club in the state, the
first Georgia 4-H tteam to win a
trip to the International Live
stock Show, and more innumer
able “firsts.”
As county agent, he was identi
fied with the first one-variety
cotton community in Georgia at
Orchard Hill.
In the period from 1930 to 1934,
in several different positions, Ben
nett had an active part in promo
ting the first cattle show in Geor
gia, held in Savannah. From 1933
to 1934 as project manager of the
Pine Mountain Valley Rural Com
munity Corp., he was notably suc
cessful in promotting dairying to
in crease cash income. Pine Moun
ttain Valley has been considered
the most successful of fifty-odd
similar projects.
Bennett returned to the Central
of Georgia in 1944 to head its
agricultural work and “since
then,” says The Progressive Farm
er, "as livestock judge, sales man
ager, picker of 800 bulls for South
ern communities, livestock direc
tor of the Southeastern Fair, and
enthusiastic suporter or young
folks’ work (he holds honorary
FFA degrees from Georgia, Ala
bama, and Florida), he has given
just about 24 hours a day every
day to bring nearer.to fruition his
dreams for a Georgia of livestock,
green fields, and clear running
streams.”
Other Georgians named Man of
the Year in previous years by
The Progressive Farmer are:
John R. Fain, Paul W. Chap
man, H. P. Stuckey, M. D. Mob
ley, Walter S. Brown, J. F. Jack
son, Milton P. Jarnagin, H. L.
Wingate, E. S. Morgan( winner
of a special Georgia-Florida-Ala
bama award), Steve Pace, Cason
Callaway, Channing Cope, D. W.
Brooks, and W. A. Sutton.
