THEY MAY LOOK like daring young men on
the flying trapeze. But they’re electric line
men, fifty feet in the air, with no net below.
They are members of a construction crew
that has just completed the first 230,000-
volt transmission line in Georgia. The line
stretches 102 miles, from Plant Yates, on
the Chattahoochee river below Carrollton,
to a huge new substation at Bonaire, south
of Macon.
It takes high skill to build such a line. Just
as it takes skill to control complicated switch
boards in lightning storms or to keep careful
watch on giant turbines.
Lineman, load dispatcher, turbine operator
—these folks know what to do because they
have been doing it for a long time. Nearly
every job in the big task of providing you
with electric service is specialized and techni
cal. Each requires many years of training.
The value of this practical experience proves
itself every minute of every day. Electricity
in Georgia is abundant and dependable. Every
one of our employes is determined to keep
it that way.

Mr. Lawson reported that under
the first three increments of RRA
bonds some 2,500 miles of new
rural roads costing nearly $36,-
000,000 and comprising about 36
per cent of the total program have

157 of Georgia’s 159 counties.
Some 700 miles are already open
to traffic, Lawson added.

increments total $47,107,086.89.
The new issue of RRA bonds,
which the'Authority will sell about
the middle of July, will raise the
total outstanding in Authority
bonds to $64,405,374.89.
The entire Griffin - sponsored
Rural Roads Authority program
envisions construction of approxi
mately 5,000 miles of new rural
roads throughout Georgia with the
proceeds from sale of $100,000,000
in Authority bonds. Members of
the Authority expressed pleasure
in programm being made in the
gigantic roadbuilding scheme.
In addition to formally adopting
the fourth increment project list,
the RRA officials voted to name
the Citizens and Southern National
Bank as trustee of the fourth in-

firm has served in the same capac

three increments.
The only two counties in Geor
gia which have had no RRA proj
ects under the first three bond
increments are included in the
fourth increment list, Mr. Lawson
noted. They are Long and Mc-

Unwanted Tobacco
Varieties Inspected
In Field
A plan for determining those
farms producing undesirable varie
ties of flue-cured tobacco has been
set up this year, according to John
F. Bradley, State Administrative
officer, for the Georgia Agricul
tural Stabilization and Conserva
tion Committee.
The undesirable varieties are
Coker 139, Coker 140, and Dixie
Bright 244. These varieties have
been determined to be undesirable
because of the difficulty in selling
them to the tobacco industry.
The State Administrative offi
cer explained that the plan pro
vides for inspectors who have been
given special training to identify
the undesirable types of tobacco
on the farm during the growing
stage. The farms on which the
undesirable types are being grown
will be determined at the time the
regular acreage measurement is
made by the County ASC office.
The several teams of inspectors
which have been employed for this
purpose attended a training school
in Gainesville, Florida May 14, 15,
and 16, 1957. This school was es
tablished and operated by the De
partment’s Agricultural Extension
Service, and the Tobacco Inspec
tors from the states of Georgia,
South Carolina and Florida at
tended. The course given was very
comprehensive and complete, Brad
ley said, and should enable the
inspectors to do a very competent
job.
The proper identification of all
of the undesirable types of tobacco
is definitely to the advantage of
all tobacco farmers interested in
the continued success of their to
bacco program for it is the produc
tion of these undesirable types
which have contributed to the
necessity for a reduced acreage
allotment. <
Price support at the regular rate
will be available only to those
| growers who produce none of the
undesirable varieties and who
plant within their allotment. Fif
ty per cent price support discount
will be available on the undesir
able varieties.

cently have disclosed industrial

local level.
