THE DADE COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1049. P. R.

THOMAS, President The farmer producing a targe share of the national wealth on which life itself depends, shoutd have his rightful share of this wealth, and to achieve this end, the Farm Bureau was organized. Some of the benefits brought about by farm organizations are price support for the major crops of 90 per cent parity, which is of course, 10 per cent less than it should be, but without the farm organizaion opposition, it would be reduced to 60 per cent i parity as in the Aiken bill. Other benefits are soil con¬ servation, aid in the purchase of seed, lime and certain ferti¬ lizers for soil improvement, bet¬ ter pastures and various other larm practices. Since the Dade County chapter is a part of the Georgia Farm Bureau, we are at¬ tempting for this year to carry out the following projects: 1. Sponsor County Fair. 2. For¬ estry Program. . 4-H Pig Chain. : 4. 4-H Fat Cattle Show and Sale. 5. Corn Production Con- j test. committee has been A ap- ’ pointed from the Farm Bureau to serve on the fc.ir committee, ' composed of Richard Parker, Jules Case, Douglas Morrison, R. C. Thomas and W. T. Mc¬ Cauley. This committee is to meet with the Lions Club fair committee and a permanent la*, committee be selected from the two groups. On the forestry program the Farm Bureau has already spon¬ sored a county-widei meeting, which was held on the Lambert farm, March 4, at which awards were given to farmers carrying out good forestry management practices. Plans are for the Farm Bureau to continue through the year recognizing and encouraging good forestry management. The Farm Bureau will continue to sponsor the 4-H Club pig chain which was started in 1948. Five pigs are to be distributed, one in each community as represent¬ ed by the five members of the executive committee. In order to qualify for this a 4-H Club mem¬ ber must agree to prepare at least one acre for grazing and one acre for grain feed. The 4-H member will raise the pig and return two pigs (one each out of the first two litters) to the Farm Bureau, and those will either be made available to some other boy or girl, or sold and the money used to purchase oth- er pigs to continue the chain. The 4-H member will be expect- to show his pig at the county fair. A fat calf show and sale is also recommended, this to be brought about by encouraging 4-H Club members to buy a calf and feed it out for the market. Adult ' farmers can also take part in j this, and if enough calves can ! grown to justify, buyers will be invited to come to Trenton to the fair and buy the calves. A corn production contest is also being sponsored by the Bureau. This contest will be open to every farmer in Dade County. The general idea is that by filling out the entry blank farmers will enter the contest by filling out an entry blank, al which time they will agree to give one bushei of corn as a prize. The farmer producing the highest yield will receive all the corn pledged. Special rulees will be worked out and announced by the executive commit- tee and county agents. Entry blanks will be available at the county agent’s office or from of¬ ficers of the Farm Bureau. Farm- ers are to be alowed to select any acre of farm and use any cultural and fertilizer practices he thinks best to produce the highest yield. Each farmer will be expected to keep a record on how he produced his yield, Officers and members of the executive committee will meet quarterly, the next meeting to be in June. At least two county¬ wide meeings a year of the en¬ tire memberchhip wiil be held each year, one in the spring to elect officers and one in the fall to end the membershhip drive. The members of the executive committee of the Farm Bureau are as follows: Henry Dugan. L. E. Taylor, Art E. Moore, V. L. Castleberry and Richard Parker. The outlook fer prices of live¬ stock and livestock products in 1949 is more favorable than for crcps, according to State Exten¬ sion Service economists. iSrTS?; \ £2 s&s a£.: SHEET ROCK Per Thousand $ 55.00 Doors Inside 2 Panel 2’ 8” X 6’ 8‘’ $ 9.50 Windows Strip Top . . . $6.25 Roofing 3--1 Shingles Per Sq. $ 7.90 W.
