Wingate To Seek
Passage Os Farm
Laws By Legislature
H. L. Wingate, president of the
Georgia Farm Bureau Federation
with headquarters in Macon, in a let
ter sent to county Farm Bureau of
ficers and members of the organiza
tion’s commodity committee, pointed
out that “voting delegates at the state
convention in 1950 again instructed
us to present to the Georgia General
Assembly measures designed to en
act an Agricultural Commodities bill
and a State Livestock Sanitary Board
bill.”
“This is the third year,” he as
serted, “that you have asked for
these two measures. We will again
present these propoposal to the prop
er legislative committees and make
ourselves available to explain their
functions and answer any questions
that, may be in the minds of the
members of the General Assembly.”
The Agricultural Commodities
measure proposes to set up a state
authority with power to call elections
lat which time farmers may vote
whether or not they favor taxing
themselves and appropriate the funds
derived therefrom for research and
I to find new uses for the commodities
in question, Mr. Wingate said. Farm
i Bureau delegates approved this pro
i posal at the 1949 state convention
but the measure was not prepared in
time for presentation to the Legis
lature last year, he added.
“The Livestock Sanitary measure is ;
designed to protect livestock produc
ers of this state in stamping out dis
eases and to improve sanitary condi-
I tions at the auction markets over
; Georgia,” he stated.
j Farm Bureau resolutions,” Mr.
i Wingate continued, “also call for ear-
I marking gasoline tax for road con
struction, abolition of the state ad-
' valorem tax, support of the Mini
i mum Foundation Program of Educa
tion, and other major proposals,” He
added that the legislative committee
of the organization will be present
during the current session of the as
sembly and press for passage all
measures called for in the resolu
tions.
i The Farm Bureau president called
' on ofifeers of county and community
units of the organization to “have
a full discusion of these bills at a
meeting not later than Jnuairy 15th
. and have your group decide whether
, or not they wish to go all-out in
1 support of these measures in com
pliance with what your voting dele
। gates instructed the state officers to
' do.”
i “All of these measures,” the GFBF
leader asserted, “are vitally impot-
1 tant to the farmers of our state.”
