PRE-COOLED PEACH BASKET
A new wrinkle in peach ship
ping is pre-cooling of the filled
baskets of peaches. This is done
with cold water spray through
I which the baskets are run before
1 being loaded into refrigerated
; cars, or by portable “air-condi
| tioning” units wihch force the
i hot air out of the cars before they
are sealed.
Adverusmc doesn’t cost. It
pays.

Farm B area a
Oi Houston
Is Progressive
The Houston chapter of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation,
which has played an important
part in the farm life of this com
munity for the last decade, was
organized in 1939 under the name
of the United Georgia Farmers.
The first president of UGF in
Houston county was W. W. Gray
of Perry. The purpose of that
organization, as is the present
aim of the Georgia Farm Bureau
Federation, is to unify the farm
ers in the promotion of their
aims on the local, state and na
tional basis.
Other presidents of the UGF
and the Farm Bureau in Houston
county include Floyd Tabor, Pas
chal Muse, Houser B. Gilbert,
W. E. Vinson Jr. and James C.
Johnson.
The UGF name was changed to
the Farm Bureau in 1942.
Floyd Tabor, outstanding Hous
ton county farmer, has been a
vice president of the state Farm
Bureau for six years.
H. 1 1. Wingate of Pelham, pres
ident of the state Farm Bureau
since the change of the name, has
become a powerful figure in state
and national politics. He is an ,
officer of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. His interest ]
in politics has been devoted to j
the f ght for fair prices for the
farmer throughout sjate and na
tional l egislation. He has been I
urged on many occasions to offer I
for the office of governor of
Georgia but has said he felt he
could do more for the Georgia
farmer in the Farm Bureau than
in the governorship.
The Houston county chapter
h; been among the top counties
j in the state in membership, with
I ahf ut 700 farm family members.
! it has supported all of the pro
grams designed to better the lot
j of the farmers in this county.

Federation
NEW BRIDGE SOUGHT
Construction of another bridge
across the Ocmulgee River be
tween Houston and Twiggs coun
ties has long been a project
sought by county officials. The
present State Route 127 by the
Houston Lake and Kathleen has
been an approved state road for
many years but it dead-ends at
the river.
