FORESTRY NEWS
Bryan County is one of the
counties which helped bring Geor
gia past the 21 million acre mark
in the total of woodland acreage
under protection of organized
forces of the Georgia Forestry
Commission, and will place Geor
gia in the lead in the nation in
protected forest acreage, Guyton
DeLoach, Commission Director re
ported this week.
Lumpkin, Gwinnett, Oglethorpe,
Clayton, Lee, Lincoln, Dooly,
Morion, Franklin, and Clarke be
gan official operation of forestry
units July 1. The combined for
estland area of these counties, 1,-
464,486 acres, will bring Georgia’s
woodland areas under state pro
tection to a total of 21,803,695.
“Addition of these counties,’’
and several more that are expect
ed to sign said DeLoach, “means
that we are making constant prog
ress in our efforts to bring the
entire state under forestry units
of the Georgia Forestry Commis
sion.”
He reported Rangers will be
employed for the new units and
said mobile and power fire-fight
ing vehicles will be selected for
the counties.
Vehicles chosen will include sev
eral types of mobile vehicles, trac
tors and suppression plows, which
each county being outfitted accord
ing to the requirements of fire
fighting in the individual locality.
Surveys also now are under way
by the Georgia Forestry's Com
mission’s Forest Engineer to de
termine forest fire lookout tower
sites.
“Every effort is being made,’’
the Director declared, “to equip
these new counties for efficient
operation.”
“However," warned DeLoach,
“the reiai success of the County
Forestry Units will depend upon
the support given by the people of
the counties. Especially can this
public support be evidenced in fire
prevention, in volunteer help on
fires and in reporting wildfires.”
FARM BUREAU NEWS
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture last week issued the prin
cipal provision of price support on
1953 crop peanuts.
Georgia Fann Bureau Federa
tion officials report that the loan
price under the 1953 provisions
are expected to average $lO-^l3
above last year’s loan price. The
1953 crop will be supported at a
national average price of $237.60
l>er ton, or slightly higher than
last year’s crop.

er received prices will be due to
less deductables. Commodity Cred
it will make an allowance for
shrinkage and grade loss in loans
in on-farm stored peanuts while
peanuts are in storage. CCC will
absorb any shrinkage and grade
loss on loans in warehouse-stored
peanuts.
Only deducts from support price
will be (a) Service fee for making
loans, (b) Federal State inspection
fee, (c) Warehouse fees other than
receiving charges (Warehouse
stared peanuts), and (d) allow
ance for shrinkage and grade loss
for peanuts in on-farm-storage.
GFBF officials have held a
series of conferences with U.S.D.A.
and Agriculture heads beginning
in December 1952 in an effort to
develop a more favorable peanut
program for 1953. GFBF's State
Peanut Committee met last week
to study and develop a more fav
orable long-range program after
1953.
USDA Secretary Benson has
indicated recognition of farm
Bureau as “The Choice of Agricul
ture.” He has asked State and
National FB leaders to be prepar
ed to make long-range recommen
dations l>y the end of 1953.
State Farm Bureaus throughout
the Nation are now in the process
of preparing for thousands of
“grass-root meetings” across the
Nation. Farm Bureau members
will discuss pro and con sides of
short and longer range farm pro
grams. This will be in connec
tion with FA’s resolution pro
cess. The composite thinking and
suggested recommendations will
be passed on the U.S.D.A. and
Congress.
Negro Farm Bureau members
will attend a series of Negro Dis
trict meetings during July. The
district schedule follows: Ist dis
