Beer Taxes Bring State
$1,343,558 During
Fiscal Year
Brewers, Distributors. Retailers
Contribute $177,159 More
Than Last Year
ATLANTA. July s—The brewing
industry paid a total of $1,343,558.50
to the State of Georgia during the
fiscal year ending June 30 in taxes
on beer and for state licenses, Judge
John S. Wood, state director of the
Brewers and Beer Distributors Com
mittee of Georgia, reported today
upon receipt of the new figures
from the State Revenue Depart
ment.
The total represents an increase
of $177,159.46 over the amount col
lected during the previous fiscal
year. The sum, all of which goes
to the purchase of free text books
in the public schools, is in addition
to the thousands of dollars paid
by the industry in the state in fed
eral taxes and for federal, county
and municipal licenses. In the na
tion as a whole the industry pays
in taxes more than $1,000,000 each
day to the federal government
alone. Judge Wood said.
“As a beverage of moderation,
beer is definitely aligned with the
social, as well as the economic, wel
fare of Georgia,” said Judge Wood.
“On the economic side, in addition
to the huge tax payments, are the
employment the beer industry pro
vides for 13,958 Georgians, the an
nual payroll of $9,318,403 in this
state and the immense investment
in buildings and equipment.
“In recognition of their social re
sponsibility, brewers and beer dis
tributors are actively supporting
the Committee’s program of elim
ination of those few retailers who
persist in operating in a manner
inimical to the public welfare.
Forty-four retail licenses have been
revoked to date by the State Reve
nue Department at our request.”

PASTURE ACRES PER HEAD
OF LIVESTOCK DOUBLE
SINCE 1925
For each head of livestock, Geor
gia is now producing two blades of
grass compared to only one 15 years
ago, the Georgia Agricultural Ex
tension Service reported this week.
Figures~of "the 1940 census show
that each head of livestock was
suppplied with 1.3 acres of pastur
age, while the 1925 figure was
slightly over .6 acres. Likewise,
acres of plowable pasture in Geor
gia stand at 1,512,913, compared
with only 811,516 acres 15 years
ago, an increase of 701,351 acres.
Meanwhile, more and improved
pasturage has brought a decrease;
in the number of farms without 1
certain classes of livestock. A de
cade ago, more than 90,000 farms
were reported without any cattle.
Now the figure has been lowered to
only about 49,000.
Census figures of 1930 indicated
a total of 100,634 farms without
| milk cows. Today the number is!
: 57,537. For farms without hogs,
the number has been shaven from I
! 90,722 to 51,000, and for chickenless
farms, the figure has shrunk to only
20,245 from 41,780 in 1930.

nouncement, “is to help low-income
families to work together in win
ning their rehabilitation. Actu'Ty,
it seeks to place in their hands the
means of rehabilitating themselves..
It is expected to offer the small
farmer these advantages:
“1. To obtain facilities and serv
ices which they as individuals could
not afford; 2. To enable them to
compete with larger operators; 3. To
enable them to enjoy the benefits
o f technological improvements;
4. To help maintain the family-size
farm and make it a going concern;
and 5. To facilitate change from a
one-cash-crop economy to a de
versified crop program.
“But first and last, the undertak
. ing seeks to give to the little farmer
■ an opportunity to work for himself,
and for and with his neighbors, to
which his limited individual re
sources hitherto has been a bar.”
