Gower of Cordele was the speaker at Tuesday’s luncheon meeting of the Perry Kiwapis club. He was intro duced by W. E. Beckham, pro gram chmn.

Let us think right on this matter so that our in dividual thoughts may mold group thinking, the speaker said in conclusion. Visitors at the club meeting : w r ere: Judge Mallory C.

PEACH MARKETING [ ORDER CONTINUED The Federal Marketing Agree ■ ment and Order regulating hand ling of fresh Georgia grown peaches will be continued by the War Food Administration, ac cording to J. C. Holton, regional supervisor, Programs Division, Fruit and Vegetable Branch. Voting in a recent referendum gave the marketing agreement iapproval by 93 percent of the Georgia peach growers. Under provisions of the agree ment which require biennial ref erendum, Georgia growers bal loted during an 11-day period in January. The 93 percent of the j growers favoring continuance of I i the program represented 9fi per [ cent of the tonnage voted. Seven j percent of the growers voting land four percent of the tonnage j represented, favored termination lof the Marketing Agreement. ] opajnformatTon The Food Panel has changed the policy of advertising for Lost Ration Books. In the future applicants for re placement of Lost Ration Books must notify the local Police of the loss. No Replacement Books except for mutilated books will be mail ed out. Applicant must apply at office or have member of family apply for replacement Ration Book. Sugar Charge Back Sugar dealers in Houston coun ty have been advised by the OPA of the danger to them of accept ing loose sugar stamps. A letter sent to all retail deal ers in this region reminds them that they must affix sugar stamps from Ration Book No, 4 on gummed sheets. Form 120-A, familarly referred to as “bingo” sheets; that sugar coupons must be detached in the presence of the seller and that they must not accept loose sugar ration stamps. A sugar dealer failing to ob serve these regulations might au tomatically force himself out of the sugar business and render himself liable to other penalties. When a dealer turns in his stamps, they quickly find their way to the Regional Verification Center in Atlanta, where they are submitted to a violet ray test, which instantly reveals counterfeits. The source of the stamp is identified by a check mark, after which it is charged back to the merchant, and may then be turn ed over to OPA’s Enforcement Division, Even though the dealer accept ed the counterfeit stamp in good 1 faith the loss to him remains un changed, for his sugar allotment is automatically reduced by the amount covered by the counter feit stamps. The purchaser of sugar has a self-protective interest in not tendering loose stamps and in not removing stamps from Book 4 until the time of purchase. That is one way to aid in pre venting the illicit diversion of sugar which now threatens the legitimate civilian supply. Processed Foods Blue C-2 thru G-2 valid thru April 28.

J. A. Ivey, pastor of the Baptist church, officiating. In addition to the parents, oth er survivors are one brother, Billy Moody. YOUR BIK lIO.Mt ESTABLISHED 1870 FARMERS CONFRONT NEW CONDITIONS In planning their operations for this year, Georgia farmers are confronted with a set of cir cumstances they have never had to face before and which they are not likely to meet again at any time in the near future, Kenneth Treanor, economist of the Agricultural Extension Ser vice. declared this week. “Farmers of this state have been asked to produce to capacity again this year as their part of the war effort,” Mr. Treanor said. “Farm operations are al ready underway to that end. Georgia farmers will do their ut most with the labor, equipment and supplies that are available.” There are 13 percent less peo ple on Georgia farms than at the outbreak of the war, he pointed out. “Despite the loss in farm population each year since the war began, and despite the fact that those who have left farms have been the more able-bodied men and women, the output of farm products each year since 1941 has been considerably great er than in the years immediately preceding 1941,” Since the output of farm pro ducts has increased, and since the number of farm people has decreased, it is evident that the output per farm worker has in creased materially, the economist said. He pointed out that this has resulted in changes in farm or ganization and shifts in systems of farm management wbich“pro bably will have far-reaching ef fects on Georgia’s agriculture. There are definite trends toward larger farms and larger operat ing units.” Mr. Treanor cited the increas ed use of labor-saving machinery as being partially responsible for these trends, and declared the use of machines is certain to in crease when more become avail able. “Along with, the decline in farm population, increased size of operating units, and increased use of machinery, there has been a significant increase in the pro duction of livestock products,” he said. In 1943 and 1944 the value of livestock and/ livestock products sold by Georgia farmers exceed the value of their sales of cotton and cotton seed for the first time since records became available. In 1934 income from cotton con stituted 4(5 percent of the gross farm income in Georgia, In 1943 I income from cotton amounted to only 21 percent of the gross farm income. The income from livestock in 1924‘ made up only 10 percent of the gross farm in come. In 1943 the value of these crops amounted to 32 percent of the total. T h e gross farm income in (Georgia in 1924 was estimated at approximately $282,000,000 and this had increased to $441,000,- 000 in 1943. On a per capita basis, the farm income in 1924 was $lBl and $371 in 1943. “These trends have been in progress for many years,” Mr, Treanor declared. “The decline in farm population began with the depression following World War I and has continued almost without a break. World War II has accentuated these trends,but has not been responsible for them.” Postwar trends will depend largely upon what happens in in dustry and what happens to the national income, he predicted. “It is highly probable that many people who left farms will re turn. It would seem likely, how ever, that the number returning will be considerably smaller than the number which left.” Other significant developments in Georgia’s agricultural picture in recent years, according to Mr. Treanor, have been trends in farm land values, and in the farm mortgage debt load being carried by farmers.
