THE VOICE OF
AGRICULTURE
IN HOUSTON
By A. A. WHITE
Houston FB President
Farm Bureau sponsored House
Bill 376, known as the Agricultural
Commodities Authorization Act,
has been tabled. Farmers will be
interested to note that this action j
was taken in the closing days of
the last session of the Legislature j
at a vote of 77 for with 32 against
the motion of tabling. This marks
the second year in succession that
Georgia farmers’ efforts to pass
legislation has failed.
The bill, effecting only farmers,
would have enabled the producers
of food and fibre to hold refer
endums to decide whether or not
the producers of a given commod
ity would assess themselves a given
amount to better enable their
group to improve marketing out
lets, research, or other methods
of advancing their economic posi-:
tion.
State legislators toy voting for
the passage of the Bill would have
been saying, “I have no objection
for the cotton producers, peanut
producers .tobacco producers or
any other Georgia farmer to hold
referendums to decide among
themselves that they wish to at
tempt to improve their economic
welfare.”
Slate Farm Bureau leaders feel
that the legislators voting to table
the Bill did so in a sincere effort
to give themselves more time to
study H. B. No. 376. The Bill was
not killed, which means that the
Bill will again go before the legis
lature in November. Your Houston
