Macon Jr. College
Has 24% Increase
Macon Junior College enroll
ed 640 students for the Summer
Quarter, an increase of 24%
over the 518 enrolled in the
Summer Quarter a year ago.
Os the 640, 138 are beginning
freshmen, 203 are continuing
freshmen, 132 are sophomore,
135 are transient students, and
29 fall in other categories.
President Jack Carlton re
marked that “while the 24%
increase is* significant and en
couraging, a more significant
statistic developed out of the
Summer Quarter registration.
Our equivalent full-time enroll
ment jumped 67% over last
year. This means that our 640
students are taking more cred
it hours of work, and we be
lieve this to be a direct result
of conversion from four-credit
courses to five-credit courses.
We also believe that the 24%
increase in head count enroll
ment reflects substantially the
popularity of five-credit
courses.”
Other characteristics of the
class are that 369 are men and
271 are women; 329 are resi.
dents of Bibb County, 58 of
Houston, 14 of Peach, 4 of
Jones and only 1 or 2 are res
idents of each of 'the other
nearby counties.
Southern Farms
Have Good Future
“There is a growing future
for agriculture in the southeast
in spite of the cost-price
squeeze, high interest rates and
mounting labor problems facing '
farmers, growers and ranch
ers,” according to R. E. Suber,
manager of the Federal Land
Bank Association of Montezu
ma, who has just returned from
the annual conference for di
rectors and managers of the
Federal Land Bank Associa
tions held at the Marriott Mo
tor Hotel, Atlanta.
“As southeastern farms grow
larger, there is an increasing
demand for larger amounts of
credit, as fanners are substi
tuting capital for labor,” Mr.
Suber explained. “However, our
associations have the people
and tools to meet the increas
ing needs of farmers for credit
on a sound, productive and con
structive basis.”
The Montezuma Association
is one of the 46 farmer-owned
Land Bank Associations which
make and service long-term
loans for the Federal Land
Bank of Columbia, S. C. The
Bank now has over 42,000 loans
outstanding in the amount of
$671 million with farmers,
growers and ranchers in Flor
ida, Georgia and the
—the four states served by the
Bank.
Other officials of the Monte
zuma Association attending the
conference were Ben T. Whel
chel, president, of Rochelle; C.
J. Harp, Jr., vice-president, of
Oglethorpe; D. M. Rumph, Di
rector, of Montezuma; J. M.
