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.
