Adams SECOND IN SERIES general Last week farm we outlook considered for 1958, thej as seen by our Extension Econ¬ omists Steve Brannen and Jack Lancaster. Now let’s check the; outlook for field and horticul¬ tural crops. COTTON—Georgia’s allotment for 1958 Is 905,387 acres—up 574 acres from 1957. Georgia farm¬ ers placed 296,008 acres of the 1957 allotment in the Soil Bank. Funds for the 1958 cotton Acre¬ age Reserve are expected to total about the same as for last year. In late 1957, cotton prices by grades were averaging slightly above a year earlier, despite a (reduction in support prices. High quality cotton prices should average above 1957 levels. Sup¬ port prices may continue to be a reasonable guide to market prices. A scarcity of good quality planting seed is likely to develop, because of considerable weather damage in some areas. WHEAT—G e o r g i a’s 1957-58 wheat acreage allotment is 107,- 591 acres. Farmers have placed 55,800 acres of this in the Soil Bank. The announced minimum national support price is $1.78 per bushel. Prices paid farmers for wheat have averaged close to support levels in recent yeais. This will likely hold true for ‘58. FRUIT & NUTS—With normal weather, larger crops of fruits and nuts will be possible in 1958. If this happens prices can be ex¬ pected to be less favorable than, in ’57. Producers will find it pro¬ fitable to emphasize quality and good production and manage¬ ment practices. VEGETABLES—T h e increasing importance of processed veget¬ ables in the vegetable consump¬ tion pattern is a factor of import ance to Georgia vegetable growers. Production of veget¬ ables under contract is likely to increase because of the market’s need for volume and standard¬ ization. Georgia vegetable growers should consider carefully possi¬ bilities for developing volume sales of standardized quality vegetables. Marketing agree¬ ments are also useful vehicles for guarding against competi¬ tion of low quality products. Careful attention to details in the planning and conduct of products can plug some of the leaks and mistakes through which profits are lost or reduced. FATS & OILS—Supplies for pxport during 1957-58 will again be larger. Lower prices expected should encourage foreign buyers, but the total amount exported will depend heavily on U. S. ex¬ port aid programs. Increase in production is putting downward pressure o n soybean prices. Georgia’s average per acre yield of 13 bushes compares unfavor¬ able with the 22.7 national ave¬ rage. Competition with other food oils and by-products will hold overall cottonseed prices fairly close t o present levels Good quality planting seed will be scarcer and higher in price. Lard output will move upward about 8 to 10 percent as pork production goes up during 1958. As a result lard prices along with perk prices will go below 1957 levels. FISH FRY AT HOOKER The W. S. C. S. of the Hooker Methodist Church will have a fish-fry Saturday night, Jan. 18 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hayden Strawn at Hooker. The plates will be $1.00 for adults and 50 cents for children.

Ga. 35-ton "beanie"? ONCE A “BEANIE” was simply the name of a special kind of hat. But the men constructing the Enrico Fermi power plant near Monroe, Michigan, have given the name “beanie" to the 35-ton steel dome of the building which will house the plant’s giant atomic reactor. The new atomic age will do more than simply add new words to our language. Atomic fuel promises a vast new source of energy to make electricity. That’s why the Georgia Power Com¬ pany is cooperating with 16 other power com¬ panies and a group of manufacturers in building the Enrico Fermi plant. Today more than 100 investor-owned electric companies are participating in 15 atomic power projects. These pioneer plants are expected to have a generating capacity of more than 1 million kilowatts. They will be constructed at a cost of well over $400 million. The atom’s promise is being developed for you. GEORGIA POWER COMPANY
