FARMER’S COLUMN
Georgia farmers are now produc
ing almost double what they were
two decades ago, even though the
farm population has decreased one
third during the period.
Increased production and better
farming methods have upped the
state’s farm income more than 200
million dollars during the 20-year
span between 1924 and 1944.
Farm price level in 1924 and 1944
were practically the same, but the
total income for Georgia at the be
ginning of the 20-year period was
$282,000,000 or slßl per capita, com
pared to $491,000,000, or $446 for
each farm person in 1944, latest
year on which official figures are
available.
“Georgia’s rural people as a whole
are in better shape financially than
ever before in history. The aggre
gate farm mortgage indebtedness
in Georgia has decreased from 140
million dollars in 1923 to 85 million
dollars in 1944.
Farmers have turned from a cot
ton economy to a balanced farm
program during this period. Today
cotton and livestock are contribut
ing 21 per cent each to the state’s
farm income, compared with 46 per
cent cotton and only 10 per cent
livestock 20 years earlier.
Growing trees on all idle and cut
over land in Chattooga County will
provide a good source of farm in
come and will help protect the soil.
Georgia’s future timber supplies
should be grown as a farm crop.
If a reasonable supply of good
timber is to be obtained in the fu
ture, good timber management
practices must be put into effect
in the handling of forest lands and
farm woodlots. Much of this land
is washing away and getting poor
er every year. Growing timber and

In discussing pulpwood supplies
in Georgia and the south, the Ex
tension Service specialist pointed
out that a large part of the pulp
wood comes from farms. “Harvest
ing pulpwood offers a chance to in
crease cash income. Following rec
ommended practices in taking out
pulpwood from woodlands in many
sections of Georgia will leave the
remaining trees in much better con
dition and will bring about a more
rapid development of mature tim
ber.
Growing trees on idle land and
following recommended forestry
practices will help Georgia main
tain her place as a leading pro
ducer of rorest products and will
help increase farm income through
out the state.
The demand for farm products
seems likely to be maintained at
about its present high level during
most of 1946, although the pressure
of export demand on available sup
plies may be lessened late in the
year. As the reconversion of in
dustry to a peacetime basis is pro
ceeding rapidly and the accumulat
ed purchasing power in the hands
of consumers is large, a high level
of non-agricultural employment
and output is likely to be main
tained in 1946.
Farm Bureau News
An address on “Agriculture and
Education” by H. L. Wingate, presi
dent of the Georgia Farm Bureau
Federation, will highlight the one
day session of the Sixth district
Georgia Education Association
which will meet there March 22.
Mr. Wingate has been scheduled
to speak at the opening session in
Lanier High School for Boys. Of
ficials estimated approximately 2.-
000 teachers in the district will at
tend the meeting.
Mr. Wingate, who recently threw
the weight of his organization of
armers numbering over 30,000 be
hind the drive to raise salaries for
Georgia Teachers, will discuss what
he has termed “the deplorable con
ditions existing in the rural schools
of this state.”
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1946.
Farm bureau officials said Mr.
Wingate has been scheduled for
speaking engagements at G. E. A.
meetings in all ten Georgia districts
during March and April to empha
size the need of better-paid, better
equipped teachers in Georgia.
Education officials pointed out
that due to a lack of sufficient ho
tel accommodations, the annual
state meeting of G. E. A. will not
be held this year. Instead, district
meetings have been planned in each
district. Schedule of meetings: First
district, Statesboro, March 28; Sec
ond district, Camilla, March 26;
Third district, Americus, March 21;
Fourth district, Thomaston, March
20; Fifth district, Decatur, April 4;
Seventh district, Rome, March 19;

Summerville, March 19, at the court
house at 7:30 p.m. Every farmer
and all teachers are urged to at
tend this meeting.
New Benefits For
Marines Are Now
Being Offered
“Opportunities and benefits nev
er before available are now being
offered to marine veterans who are
considering the Marine Corps as a
career,” it was announnced recent
ly by Col. Hawley C. Waterman, of
ficial in charge, U. S. Marine Corps,
Southeastern recruiting division.
With an anticipated peacetime
strength of 100.000 enlisted men for
the corps, inducements and incen
tives are being offered marines who
“ship over” as well as marines who
have already left the service and
desire to re-enlist.
Discharged marines with prior
active service (regular, reserve or
inductee) who enlist in the regular
Marine Corps within 90 days from
date of discharge will be reappoint
ed to the same rank held before
leaving the service.
If a marine is discharged and re
enlists immediately, he will receive
the S2OO or S3OO mustering out pay.
He will also receive a bonus of SSO
for each complete year served in
the regular Marine Corps.
Col. Waterman pointed out that
former marines who re-enlist with
in a period of 90 days will be grant
ed a re-enlistment furlough with
pay. The length of the furlough
depends on the length of the en
listment.
Service in the Marine Corps to
day offers limitless opportunities
for the ambitious young man who
really wants to have a steady job,
an opportunity to advance his
knowledge, and a chance to im
prove his technical skill.
Advance training in many skills
is open to marines in the several
schools maintained by the Marine
Corps such as motor transport, en
gineering, radar technician, tele
phone technician, radio technician,
clerical course, aviation technicians,
etc. Scores of jobs are open in the
Marine Corps aviation units, in ad
dition to actual pilot training. A
man can become expert as an avia
tion mechanic, metalsmith, aerial
photographer, navigator, etc.
After serving 30 years in the Ma
rine Corps a man can retire, upon
application, with 75 per cent of his
base pay. After serving 20 years,
he may retire, receiving 50 per cent
of his base pay.
Further information regarding
Marine Corps training and bene
fits can be received by writing or
calling at your nearest Marine
Corps recruiting office. In this
part of Georgia, application may be
made at the U. S. postoffice build
ing, Rome, Ga.
