There have been
some chanqes made/
Yes, the homes of today present quite a different
picture! . . .
There's the wonder of Television . . . the efficiency of
modern electric kitchens . . . the pleasure of sewing on
an electric sewing machine ... the comforts of home air
conditioning . . . the labor-saving electrically operated
machines for home, farm and shop... in fact, there are
about 55 different electrical appliances and pieces of
equipment to make life easier, pleasanter, and safer in
your home! . . .
That's a heap of convenience ... but this bright picture
of a high standard of living has its dim side.
The number and use of electrical appliances is some
times too much for the system on which they feed . . .
and that means you don't get your money's worth out of
appliances you use.
When your present wiring does not supply enough
power through your house your appliances take longer
to heat, units operate poorly, motors overheat and burn
out, the TV picture jumps ... and, there is danger of fire!
If you want to get the best out of electrical living, make
sure your appliances are not being starved for power.
And if you have this problem, we'll be glad to meet
with you and see what can be done to solve it.

Direct Loans
Offer Advantages
Bank Terms Usually
Mean Lower Interest
Farmers who borrow money to
purchase new machinery should
first consider the advantages of a
direct loan.
Interest on a direct loan may
be lower because bankers usually
charge simple interest —that is.
after the farmer’s first payment
on the loan’s principal, interest
is charged only on the remainder.
But, on contracts, interest is
sometimes figured in advance and
added to the whole principal of
the loan—thus, the farmer also
pays “interest on his interest.”
Such interest figured in advance
may make total interest much
higher. On a $1,200 loan to be paid
back in 12 monthly installments
at 6 per cent, the total simple in
terest payment would be $39. But
if interest is charged in advance
and added to the principal, the
total is nearly twice as much—
s72.
Another direct loan advantage is
that the farmer may be in a
stronger bargaining position if he

lower price.
comes to the machinery dealer
with his financing all worked out.
He can then bargain with cash in
hand even though he borrows from
a bank.
It’s also an advantage to get a
machinery loan from the same
place a farmer gets his other pro
duction credit. If he gets all his
non-real estate credit from one
lender, he will be able to keep
a close eye on the type and sizfe
of such debts.
Predict Dairy Outlook
Better for 1955
There will still be dairy sun
pluses in 1055—but the gap ba
tween milk production and use
promises to be the smallest since
1952, predicts a University of Min
nesota professor* of agricultural
economics.
Dr. E. Fred Koller says 1954
milk production will total 124 bil
lion pounds and use was about
119 billion pounds. This left a gap
of about five billion pounds of milk
the government bought in butter,
cheese and milk powder. This is a
billion pounds less than in 1953.
1955 milk production is esti
mated at 124 to 125 billion pounds
and use at 121 billion pounds—a
possible gap of three or four bil
lion pounds, much lower than in
recent years.
An indication of adjustment is
that U. S. fall milk production was
about the same as the previous
year. In the first half of 1954, pro
duction was much larger than in
first half 1953. U. S. butter pro
duction in the week ending De
cember 30, 1954, was 19 per cent
below a year ago.
There were also adjustments on
the use side. Americans were us
ing 8 to 9 per cent more butter in
the first 10 months of 1954 as they
did in the same period of 1953.

Vo-Ag Teachers
To Back Mail Box
Improvement Plan
Twenty-five vocational agricul
ture teachers from this area par
ticipated in a clinic at Perry High
School Thursday afternoon to
learn the best techniques for mix
ing and using concrete.
Hugh Roberts, regional engineer
for the Portland Cement Associa- j
tion, conducted the clinic. Similar j
meetings for other Southwest |
Georgia vo-ag teachers were held
earlier this week at Tifton, Cairo
and Pearson.
J. L. Branch, district supervisor
of agricultural education, says the
clinics are the forerunner of a
statewide drive by Future Farmers
of America to improve the appear
ance of roadsides and homes by
building and erecting uniform
mailbox supports. The drive is a
cooperative undertaking between
FFA and the Georgia Rural Letter
Carriers’ Association.
Future Farmers will build con
crete and wooden mail box sup
ports as a part of their farm shop
work in vo-ag classes, Mr. Branch
pointed out.
The demonstration here includ
ed developing the ratio of aggre
gate, sand, water and cement for
a good concrete mix, pouring re
inforced posts, and then pouring
bases for the posts.
Teachers taking part in the i
meeting were W. E. Richards,
