STATE OF GEORGIA. COUNTY OF WHEELER, ss:
Sworn to and subscribed before me this 9th day of Jan
uary, 1969. and I hereby certify that I am not an officer or
director of this bank.
My commission expires August 17, 1971.
Louise Morrison. Notary Public.
I said, “Chapman employs Geor
gia’s most productive commodity
in his fight for the total conser-
I vation effort—local people. Wide
। spread public support for water- ]
shed projects and continuing con
servation planning traces back to '
the early emphasis he placed on
a strong information effort,
‘ ।
"Georgia now ranks either first .
or second in watershed activity ,
in the nation as a result of locally ।
initiated projects. The state is
second in number of projects, (
| first in number of multiple-pur
pose projects.”
Chapman entered government
service in 1933 with the United
States Department of Agriculture
and joined the search for a solu
tion to the problem of soil eros
ion. In 1934 he helped with the
testing of erosion control tech
niques that later became the back
bone of the present-day soil and

water conservation program in
the Southeast.
Chapman, who directs all SCS
activities in Georgia, has worked |
closely with Georgia’s 27 soil and j
water conservation districts for I
more than 30 years. SCS provides |
technical soil and water conser-1
vation assistance to Georgians j
through a Memorandum of Un- j
। derstanding with Districts.
He has long encouraged Dis- j
I trict supervisors to develop and i
(carry out long-range land use!
I plans. In the past few years SCS '
i under Chapman’s direction has '
■ promoted comprehensive land use |
planning and cooperation with
area planning and development
commissions.
“It’s the total effect of the more
than 100,000 land owners and op-I
erators cooperating with soil and j
water conservation districts and ]
the wholehearted cooperation of ‘
so many dedicated individuals j
and groups that make Georgia the |;
conservation leader she is,” Chap-1
man said.
The Progressive Farmer, one of
the nation’s leading farm maga
zines, has been honoring out
standing leaders as “Men of The
Year” since 1937.
Vernon Miller, editor, says “The
award is based on the stature of ।
the person and his contributions
over the years rather than for a
flashy, outstanding contribution (
in any one year. It’s a recognition ,
of service in the field of agricul- (
ture —service over an extended ;
period of time, not for one single ‘
| project.

Talmadge Cites
Value Os Trade
Zone In Georgia
In endorsing the proposed es
tablishment of a general purpose
, foreign trade zone at Savannah
| and a special purpose subzone on
I nearby Hutchinson Island, U. S.
Sen. Herman E. Talmadge pointed
I to some of the benefits he be
lieves will accrue from such a
development.
In a statement presented to the
Foreign Trade Zone Board, meet
ing in Savannah recently to con
sider the application, the Geor-'
gia senator said:
“A general purpose foreign
trade zone at Savannah . . . will
be of great assistance in continu
ing sharp rises in shipping ton- i
nage handled by the Port of Sa
vannah. I believe that a general
purpose foreign trade zone will
be a highly important addition to
the services now offered by the;
Port of Savannah.”
Sen. Talmadge noted that Ten
neco Oil Company had proposed
building a 200,000-barrel-a-day
refinery in the special purpose
subzone on Hutchinson Island “if
the pending application of the
Georgia Ports Audthority is;
granted, and if Tenneco Oil Com
pany is thereafter granted the
necessary licenses and import
quotas.”
'Economic benefits to be de
rived by the entire Coastal Plains
region from establishment of (
such a refinery are indeed sub
stantial,” he said. Petrochemical
satellites utilizing the products to ,
be produced at the refinery are i
not only feasible, but virtually )
inevitable if the refinery is con- |
structed.”
Talmadge, a ranking member
of the Senate Finance Committee,
added:
“In recent years a multiciplic
ity of economic considerations has
resulted in refineries being built I
in foreign countries which other- I
wise would have been built in
the continental United States.
The result has been that dollars
that would otherwise have been
spent in this country have been
invested and spent abroad.
“These facts are not pleasant j
ones to a member of the Senate
Finance Committee concerned
with the creation and mainte
nance of a favorable balance of
payments position for the United
States"

Influence Os Sire
By David H. Williams
1 Ever wonder why a beef cat
tle producer goes to so much
i time and trouble looking for a
better bull? Isn’t it true that the
> sire and the dam contribute equal-
I ly to the inheritance of their off
spring? Yes, this is true. How
ever, an important fact that is
: often overlooked is this: While
j only one-half of the heredity of
one generation traces to the sire,
in two generations 75 percent of
the heredity in a herd traces to
the sires used in those genera
tions.
In three generations, 87 1 2% of
the inheritance traces to the sires
used in those three generations.
Putting it another way, in three
generations —about 12 years —
(only 12%% of the heredity from
I the original cow herd remains,
i Half of the inheritance of a
: herd is new each generation. In
addition, a herd is practically re
; built in three generations. This
■ places added stress and respon
-1 sibility on the selection and use
of sires in the beef herd. It does
not mean that female selection is
not worthwhile; it does suggest,
i however, that the major improve
' ment in the genetic level of a
I herd must come through the merit
] of the sires used.
And that's the reason a beef cat
tle producer goes to all that time
and trouble—and expense—look
ing for a better bull.
