Should You Smoke?
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
Whether you smoke or not is a
decision you must make your
self.
Studies indicating the harmful
effects of smoking mounted in
recent years. On the other hand,
however, so have studies that
■challenge these findings.
At the present time the House
of Delegates of the American
Medical Association has taken no
definite action on the matter. And
there is considerable difference of
opinion among medical authorities
on the possible connection be
tween cancer and smoking.
One of the latest studies related (
to this subject is a comparison of j
diseases and causes of death in ।
several hundred Seventh-Day Ad-1
ventists, whose religion forbids ■
smoking, and some 8,000 non- i
Adventists, representing generali
population.
The investigators found similar !
rates for types of cancer not as-.
sociated with smoking in the two;
groups. But they found only one I
case of lung cancer—which has
been associated with smoking—|
among the Adventists. This was in (
a 63-year-old man who had smok- i
ed a pack of cigarettes a day for (
25 years before joining the church, (
They found no cancer of thei
mouth, larynx or esophagus and i
only one cancer of the lip—and j
that was in a person who might(
have been over-exposed to sun
light.
Another interesting finding was
that while coronary disease—di
sease of the coronary artery that
supplies blood to the heart muscle
—occured among Adventist wo
men at the same rate as among
non-Adventist women, the rate!
among Adventist men was 40 per;
cent lower than for men in the ’
•general population.
The American Cancer Society
is currently distributing a pamph
let entitled “To Smoke or Not To
Smoke.”
In the pamphlet the society
cites a major conclusion of the
seven scientists who compose the
Study Group on Smoking and
Health, organized in 1956 to re- j

F. F. Kirchner, cement block

his Chevy 10703 tandem:
“Fully loaded we’re up over
40,000 lbs. GVW and at most
excavation sites we have to
move through soft sand and
mud . . . My driver tells me
he always gets through, too,
even where other, bigger
trucks can’t make it!”

view all the evidence in the mat
ter. Sponsors of the group were
* the cancer society, American
j Heart Assn., and the federal
> government’s National Cancer
, Institute and National Heart In
stitute. The scientists concluded
that the “sum total of scientific
evidence establishes beyond rea
sonable doubt that cigarette
smoking is a causative factor in
. . . cancer of the lung.”
The pamphlet further notes that
the British Government started to
distribute posters warning of the
danger of cigarette smoking fol
lowing a report by the Medical
, Research Council. In the United
States, the surgeon general of the
U. S. Public Service has said the
service “feels the weight Os the
evidence is increasingly pointing
in one direction: that excessive
smoking is one of the causative j
factors in lung cancer.”
The leaflet concludes with the(
estimate that a man who smokes I
two packs of cigarettes a day has |
about one chance in 10 of de- j
veloping lung cancer. A non-1
smoker has one chance in 270.
Meanwhile, recent studies part-I
. ly supported by the Tobacco In-;
' dustry Research Committee ques- '
■ tion the theory that cigarette'
' smoking is a cause of lung cancer.'
;In the committee’s 1958 annual (
; report, its scientific director cites |
! “loopholes and contradictions” in 1
the statistical evidence on which ’
। the theory is based.

I GFBF Takes Benson's
»
Cut Peanut Support
Before Senate Group
The Georgia Farm Bureau Fed
eration last Thursday (April 16)
continued its* protest against what
was termed “a miscalculation” by
Secretary Benson as GFBF Presi
dent John P. Duncan, Jr., went
before the Senate Agriculture
) Sub-Committee on Peanuts and
Oil. The Federation charged Ben
son’s department with using
wrong figures to determine the
support price on ’59 crop peanuts
at a cost of sl6 million to growers.
The Federation earlier went be- (
fore the House Agriculture Sub- i
Committee on Peanuts and Oil to
protest the Secretary’s action re- ■
ducing peanut support price $19.70
j per ton. Secretary Benson, since ■
11954, GFBF officials explained, (
1 had already cut peanut support ■
(prices SSO per ton.
Duncan, of Quitman, is going
(before the Senate group to pro-j
i test the peanut issue, questioned;
i the spending of $36,000,000 by
I USDA to air condition the sprawl- (
! ing United States Department of
'Agriculture building in Washing-?
' ton at a time “the Secretary is
1 apparently looking for ways to
। lower farm income.”
“Mr. Benson’s $36 million to(
1 air condition USDA’s Washington
office is over seven times the cut i
he is making to Georgia peanut(
farmers alone,” Duncan declared. (
The GFBF President said his trip;
to Washington had disclosed the(
$36 million USDA air conditioning i
was now nearing completion. |
Appearing before the Senate;
Sub-Committee, Duncan testified (
that figures available within
USDA showed that the slash in (
peanut support price based on (
computation factors used “is un-;
justified.”
The Georgia Farm Bureau Fed-1
eration presented figures on con
sumption trends showing that the
trend was upward. The figures,
Duncan said, were obtained from •
USDA only a few days ago as
public record. The GFBF officials
expressed opinion “the Secretary
is disregarding USDA’s own
figures showing peanut consump
tion is actually steadily increasing
—in order that he can cut prices
to the farmer lower.”
The Federation took issue with j
Secretary Benson’s anticipated
yield figures, and charged that |
the Secretary had eliminated the
low yielding peanut year of 1954
while keeping the highest yield
ing year in the five-year average
yield.
Duncan said the yearly peanut
yield figures were also available
the go day after day. Powerful
engines haul maximum loads—
hold fuel and maintenance ex
penses to a minimum. And Chevy’s
solid build keeps cabs and bodies
tight through years of work.
For the right truck and com
ponents to handle your tough job,
contact your local Chevrolet
dealer. He’ll prescribe the correct
cost-cutting Chevy combination
that’ll make your toughest job
look easy.
■ ( from the USDA as public record,
! and charge “it is grossly unfair to
; arrive at a five year average by
'eliminating the lowest yielding
( year.”
I Under the national peanut pro
i gram, the higher the Secretary
; determines anticipated yield, the
■ lower he anticipates consumption,
( plus some other factors in arriving
;’ at supply anticipations—the lower
he is authorized to set support
. rates. The Federation asked that
1 Benson’s support slash be rescind
ed.
GFBF also protested placing
of peanuts on cold storage by
:USDA at a high cost instead of
.following the intent of the pro
i gram as written by Congress; and
also related that growers are hav
(ing to pay a $9.00 per ton de
i deduct for 8 months’ storage, in
( surance, etc., even though the
(warehouseman may sell the pea-
I nuts within 30 days.
FARM MANAGEMENT
Profitable farm programs use
(efficiently all of the land, labor,
'capital (including credit), skills,
and management on the farm, say
economists of the Agricultural Ex
tension Service. Crop and live
stock enterprises must be fitted
together to effectively use these
: resources and the choice of these
। things to improve profits on a
' farm must be based on facts, the
'economists state.

Georgians Hail
Federal Judge's
Rights Decision
Georgia political leaders —
staunch defenders of constitu
tional government—were hearten
ed the other day by U. S. District
Judge T. Hoyt Davis’ decision
which declared a section of the
1957 Civil Rights Act unconstitu
tional.
In the case, brought by the
Justice Department against Ter
rell County registrars, Judge
Davis ruled that the injunction
section of the Civil Rights Act
is unconstitutional because it at
tempts to give the U. S. attorney
general power to seek injunction
against private individuals, as
distinguished from state officials,
to prevent them from interfering
with voting rights in state elec
tions.
The Justice Depart me n t
promptly announced it would
take Judge Davis' ruling directly
to the U. S. Supreme Court and
that it would continue to file
court actions of a similar nature
in the future. Nevertheless, Geor
gia leaders are hailing the present
turn of events.
For example, U. S. Sen. Her
man E. Talmadge said that “un
less it (the ruling) is overturned
by the Supreme Court on the
basis of the modern sociological
and psychological authorities on
whom it lately has relied as the
sole justification for its illegal
rulings in the field of individual
and states’ rights, it will effective
ly stop further usurpations and j
enroachments upon the clear con
stitutional rights of the states and
the people by both Congress and
the federal judiciary.”
Gov. Ernest Vandiver, who was
in Washington when the Davis
ruling was handed down, had this
to say:
“It has been the state’s position
all along that the Civil Rights Act
is unconstitutional. I am gratified
that Judge Davis now has upheld
that position.”
Oddly enough, at about the
same time Judge Davis’ decision
was handed down in Macon, Gov.
Vandiver was testifying before
a House Judiciary sub-committee
in opposition to pending civil
rights proposals.
“I suggest to you that together ।
we should be investigating the (
real genesis of this punitive leg
islation,” he told the committee.
“I suggest to you that we should
be saying to the Communists in
America and in Russia or where
ever they may be: You shall no
longer in this beloved America of
ours array brother against broth
er, group against group and race
against race.”
The Governor said Georgians
view the “harsh nature” of the
proposed bills with “anxiety.”
The bills “seek to suppress symp
toms by intimidation . . . Rights
cannot be secured when power is
granted to commit an injustice in
the name of justice.”
THE BIG PROBLEM
A major problem in Georgia’s
agricultural program is low yields
and resulting low income, says
agronomists of the Agricultural
Extension Service. This can be
corrected if all farmers adopt
latest research findings in use of
fertilizer and lime; control weeds,
insects and diseases; use adapted
and quality seed, and practice
good soil and water conservation,
the agronomists say.
BETTER MARKETING
Marketing specialists of the
Agricultural Extension Service
say the real objective of their
program is prroviding informa
tion and assistance making it pos
sible to move produce from farms
through trade channels to the
consumer in the most efficient
manner possible. This means a
minimum of waste and the lowest
possible cost, the specialists add.

LARGER GRADE A HERDS
Dairymen at the Agricultural
Extension Service say the trend
in Georgia toward larger Grade A
herds is likely to continue. Dairy
men with small herds will find it
increasingly difficult to meet the
costs of equipment and machin
eery. These costs will make neces
sary a large investment per cow.
