Broiler industry in Georgia
Biggest in United States
Nearly everyone in Gear
top broiler producing state
big is this industry?
The Georgia Crop Reporting
Service, which every week re
eeives and evaluates stacks of
statistics from all over the state,
has come up with some figures
gia is aware that this is the
n the nation. But, just how
। that indicate how tremendous
j this industry is and what it
means to the total economy of
the state.
These figures were compiled
: from reports on the broiler in-
I dustry for 1959. according to
I Archie Langley, director of the
Drop Reporting Service.
Probably the figure most in
i dieative of the importance of
' broilers to the state is the in
come they brought in. Growers
‘ were paid an estimated 5153
■ million for the 1959 crop. This is
I based on an average price of 15.3
cents per pound for 303.031,000
broilers, weighing an average of
3 3 pounds each.
Not only is Georgia the largest
broiler producing state, but it is
far ahead of the second state

Take Care Not to
Overmachine Cotton,
Farmers Are Warned
Does the highest grade cotton
always bring the most money? <
“Not necessarily,” says Arthur ■
B. Bond, cotton marketing and
utilization specialist for the Ag
ricultural Extension Service/
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture.
With the ginning season just
around the corner, Mr. Bond this
week warned cotton producers
that measures to raise the grade
of their cotton may actually cost
them money.
“Higher grade certainly is a
strive for, but he should take a
goal every cotton farmer should
careful look at how ginning
practices to raise grade may af
fect his returns for the bale,” he
explained.
Excessive drying, elaborate
seed cotton cleaning and double
lint cleaning at the gin may
: raise grade, but at the same time
I it may reduce the weight of the
bale by as much as 30 pounds.
Whether such cleaning is profit
able to the grower depends upon
whether the weight loss, and in
many cases shortened staple
length, is offset by the higher
price paid for higher grade cot
ton, he pointed out.
“Cotton is no different from
other farm commodities when
subjected to machine action.
Just as peanuts, corn, small
grains and other crops are dam
aged from overmachining, so is
cotton fiber. Each time cotton is
subjected to machine action, the
possibilities of fiber abrasion,
breakage and knotting are in
creased.
“To do anything to damage
the inherent spinning qualities
of cotton fiber to obtain higher
i grades is sheer folly,” Mr. Bond
declared
He urged farmers to bring
their lint to the gin in the best
possible condition. Cotton rela
i tively free of leaf trash, sticks,
I stems and dirt will not have to
i be put through as much clean
' ing equipment. Dry cotton re
quires much lower temperatures
in the drying process, he said.
“There are no miracle gins,
nor is the ginner himself a man
of magic,” he concluded. “The
seed cotton must be delivered to
the gin dry, without damage
from weathering, and free of
trash if highest grades can be
expected without fiber damage
and weight loss.”
Arkansas—which produced less
than 164 million birds.
In fact, 22 counties, almost en
tirely within a 50-mile range of
Gainesville, produced more than
the entire state of Arkansas, or
nearly 180 million.
The top three counties in pro
duction were Hall, Cherokee and
Forsyth, which grew 71.950,000
among them, almost one-fourth
of the state production.
Broilers are important to other
segments of the agricultural
economy, too. In 1959 broilers
and supply flocks consumed the
equivalent of 45 per cent of the
state’s corn crop for that year,
j It took an average of 2.5 pounds
of feed to produce a pound of
I meat.
Hatcheries are kept busy fur
’ | nishing chicks to these growers.
About 440.600,000 eggs were set
।by hatcheries, and 327,849,000
chicks were hatched. These
! hatcheries paid producers al
: most 20 million dollars for eggs
1! and received about 28 million
1 1 dollars for baby chicks.
Part of the broiler growers are
. | big concerns, and many others
; are individuals who operate on
। a much smaller scale. Nearly
11.000 growers are engaged in
i the business.
