Tomato Growers
Elect Art Moore
The Dade County Tomato
Growers Association was organi¬
zed recently One of the goals in
the County Agricultural Pro¬
gram was that specialized crops
be produced to market cooper¬
atively. Tomatoes have been sel¬
ected as the first crop for this
demonstration. Other vegetables
will be added as the need arises.
Interest in the Tomato Co¬
operative Growing and Market¬
ing Project is mounting. At a
meeting of Tomato Growers
along with production and mar¬
keting specialists from Univer¬
sity of Georgia Extension Ser¬
vice which was held recently,
final plans were adopted. The
by-laws for this association
were officially adopted and a
membership contract developed.
Any producers interested in
participating in this project
may do so by signing the
membership contract and pay¬
ing a membership fee of $3.
Some 35 to 40 acres of toma¬
toes have been pledged by
growers who have attended the
meetings and participated in the
.organization. Plans to assist
members by arranging for the
purchasing of plants, insecti
cides and containers for market¬
ing on a cooperative plan. The
association also plans to grade
and package the tomatoes and
,sell the products by grades. It
hoped that much better markets
can be obtained and therefore
more money be realized by the
producers.
The producer who signs the
membership contract agrees to
deliver to the association all of
the tomatoes harvested from the
.acres so pledged. At the last
meeting the membership present
officially approved the election
of Mr. Art Moore as president.
Other members of the board of
directors are: Ewell Brown, G. L.
Barnes, G. L. Barnes, Bill Pullen
and E. A. Stallings.
Membership blanks are avail¬
able in the County Agent’s Office

Dade Strawberries
Now On Market
It’s strawberry time again,
and the supply promises to be
ample this year. Commercial
grower Bill Pullen has Blake-
mores on area markets from his
Sand Mountain farm, while pri¬
vate growers such as Dr. N. H.
Hutchison are enjoying a good
crop. The doctor raises both
Blakemores and Tennessee
Beauties, while Pullen’s “Sand
Mountain Gems” are better than
ever this year.
Quite a few county residents
are visiting mountain patches
near Ider and Henegar, Ala. as
well as the Pullen patch to buy
crates of the berries at $5.00,
and 6.75. Others are picking and
taking their pay in berries and
the rest of the couttty is content
to buy over the counter at 25
a quart.
The first strawberries to be
sold in local stores were priced
at 49c a quart about two weeks
ago. The price next week? Only
can tell.
Conservation
Described
The Agricultural Conservation
Program, or ACP, had its incep¬
tion in the Soil Conservation and
Domestic Allotment Act of 1936.
This legislation was passed short

sion invalidating the Agricultual
Adjustment Act of 1933, which
had operated through 1935.
In its earliest form, ACP was

gram having as its objectives

income lost through the reduc¬
tion of crop acreages and the
