The County Agent’s Corner
EDITED BY N. D. McRAINEY
PRICE ADJUSTMENT BLANKS
ON COTTON EXPECTED
County Agent N. D. Mcßainey
this week announced that he expected
to receive very soon blank forms on
which Baker county farmers par
ticipating in the 1938 Agricultural
Conservation Program will apply for
price adjustment payments on this
year’s crop.
The county agent said payments to
the farmers will be made just as fast
as the applications can be audited and
properly approved. The payments for
the entire state will amount to
18,000,000.
The price adjustment payment rate
on cotton has been fixed at 1.6 cents
for each pound of the established nor
mal yield on each acre of the 1939
cotton acreage allotment. The agent
said 59 Georgia counties have estab
lished their normal yield.
Mr. Mcßainey pointed out that
the price adjustment payment, which
is known as a “parity” or “subsidy”
payment, will be made to cotton farm
ers whose acreage planted to cotton
this year does not exceed the 1939
cotton acreage allotment.
For example, he explained, on a
farm with a cotton allotment of 20
acres and a normal yield of 200 pounds
of lint cotton per acre, the price ad
justment payment would apply to 20
by 200 pounds, or 4,000 pounds. At
the rate of 1.6 cents per pound, this

It's the man behind the camera that counts. This picture, for example,
was snapped with an Inexpensive and simply operated camera.
TT'S a joy to own a fine precision
camera with a fast lens and shut
ter. No one will deny that. Such
cameras are versatile and open the
way for picture taking under many
conditions. Extremely fast action
holds no terror for them. They laugh
at poor light. It you want to special
ize on speed photography or indoor
shots without special illumination,
or shoot under adverse conditions
in general, a precision-built, ultra
fast lens camera is the thing to own.
If, however, you want a camera
to snap pictures under ordinary con
ditions, a simple, Inexpensive one
will serve admirably, afford a lot of
pleasure and, as far as recording
the subject is concerned, will make
average snapshots just as well as
the more elaborate type. Remember,
I am referring to snapshooting un
der ordinary conditions.
Artistic composition, shooting to
capture fascinating and artistic
shadows — which always add so
much to a picture, Interest appeal
and lighting are strictly up to you.
There Isn't a camera made at any
price that can tell you how, when
or where to make a picture of rare
quality and appeal, but experience
win teach much.
The fact that an unusual, interest
compelling snapshot was taken with
a "tricky” camera does not signify
would give the farm a cotton price ad
justment payment of $64.
The regular conservation payment
on cotton, which will be made at a
later date, will be computed at the
rate of 2 Cents per pound on the nor
mal yield of the cotton acreage al
lotted the farm, provided the allot
ment is not overplanted. If the allot
ment has been knowingly overplanted,
no conservation payment will be made
or if the allotment is exceeded at all—
knowingly or otherwise, no price ad
justment payment will be made.

LOSSES ARE GREAT
FROM ROUGH-GINNED
COTTON, AGENT SAYS
Farmers of Baker County are be
ing told, by County Agent N. D. Mc-
Rainey that they lose from $1.50
to $5 per bale on rough-ginned cot
ton. As a matter of fact, county
agents all over the state are launch
ing movements to reduce the amount
of rough-ginned lint in Georgia.
This work is being done in coopera
tion with the State-wide Program For
Better Ginned Cotton committee—a
a group made up of farmers, govern
mental agencies and others interested
in the cotton industry.
, Among those interested in smooth
preparation of cotton are the cotton
merchants of the state, Mr. Mc-
Rainey points out.
“Cotton merchants sell in three
that the same picture could not have
been snapped equally as well with
a simple camera by the same per
son. If a certain picture to be taken
should be snapped at f.ll with a
shutter speed of 1/25 of a second. It
might take an expert to determine
which of two prints of this subject
was taken with a beginner’s type
of camera and which with one of the
type used by the experts.
So much depends on the person
behind the camera. If you will make
a study of pictures appearing In
magazines, newspapers and picto
rial books you will learn much about
the fundamentals of good picture
making. You will find pictures of
gardens, buildings, homes, people,
animals and pets, close-ups and, in
fact, just about every type of picture
you will ever want to make. Study
these pictures and note carefully
the different angles from which
some of them are taken. Study the
lighting, the shadows and the very
natural appearance of people in
many of the pictures. You will soon
develop an "eye for pictures" and
when you do you will find that even
your inexpensive camera will pro
duce the kind of pictures you
thought were possible only with an
expensive instrument.
So you see, much depends on the
man or woman behind the camera.

ways: On universal standards for
grade, on private types, or on actual
samples, the agent says. “The uni
versal standards for grade on short
cotton, however, do not take into con
sideration various types of prepara
tion but only preparation for a par
ticular grade.
“Therefore, in buying cotton, the
cotton merchant must discount rough
preparation by one to three grades
in accordance with the roughness of
the lint.
“To sell on private type is not as
satisfactory as selling on universal
standards for grade, the county agent
state. “In the first place, you must
have the private type approved by
the cotton mill and then you must
have the private type before you in
classing out the cotton for shipment,
and the mill must have the type be
fore them in receiving the cotton.
“Selling of cotton on actual samples
has increased extensively during the
past few years, due, in a great de
gree, to rough-ginned cotton. The
selling of cotton on actual samples
is very expensive. Each bale must
be sampled and submitted to the cot
ton mill for approval.
Since cotton merchants have certain
difficulties to encounter due to rough
ginned cotton, Mr. Mcßainey says,
it logically follows that the cotton
merchant must buy rough-ginned cot
ton only at a discount, not only suf
ficient to take care of the reduced
grade caused by rough-ginned cotton
but must also take into consideration
the added expense in selling such cot
ton on private type, or on actual
samples.

FARMERS HAVE UNTIL
OCTOBER 31 TO ASSIGN
PAYMENTS UNDER AAA
Georgia farmers participating in
the 1939 Agricultural Conservation
Program have until October 31 to file
assignment of payments for advances
to produce this year’s crop, Homer S.
Durden, state administrative officer
of the Agricultural Adjustment Ad
ministration, announced in Athens re
cently
He said landlords, fertilizer deal
ers, banks, and other creditors mak
ing advances to farmers should bear
in mind that assignments not exe
cuted prior- to October 31 will not be
approved.
“Price adjustment payments earned
under the federal farm program can
not be included in an assignment,”
Mr. Durden said. “Only conserva
tion payments will be recognized. ”
He advised all county offices that
Form ACP-6,, used in all transactions,
must be signed by the assignee, wit
nessed by a disinterested person, and
filed in the office of the county agri
cultural conservation association, in
which the related assignment is filed
at or immediately prior to the time
application is made by the assignor
to the United States for payment.
The Triple-A official said 33,000
Georgians had assignments certified
under the 1938 program, involving
$2,044,569.75. Payments on the 1939
assignments will not be made until
late this winter or early spring of
1940.
1939 Master Farmers
Honored At Athens
Athens, Ga., Aug. 9.—Four Geor
gia farmers who have made outstand
ing progress with a well-balanced,
live-at-home farm program, today
were designated as Master Farmers
of 1939 in a special program at the
University of Georgia College of Ag
riculture here.
They are: John H. Brannen, of Bul
loch county; J. E. Conwell, of Hart
county; W. Holloway Norris, of Pike
county; and Floyd H. Tabor, of Hous
ton county. They join the “honor
roll” of 44 other Master Farmers se
lected in previous years.
The four outstanding families were
1 chosen for their achievements in farm
! and home living. The movement is
; sponsored jointly by The Progressive
I Farmer ,southern agricultural publi
i cation; the Georgia Agricultural Ex
i tension Service; and the College of
Agriculture.
The 1939 Master Farmers were in
troduced to the several thousand vis
itors here for Farm and Home Week
by Extension Director Walter S.
Brown, who called attention to their
progress, before presenting them with
framed certificates.
On behalf of The Progressive
Farmer, Managing Editor Alexander
Nunn gave each Master Farmer a
plaque, emblematic of successful
farming and homemaking by the en
tire family.
The program was presided over by
Dean Paul W. Chapman, of the Col
lege of Agriculture.
Director Brown praised the efforts
of the Master Farmers, pointing out
that they are good business men, as
well as outstanding farmers. He said
they have taken an active part in the
civic and religious life of their re
spective communities, and have pro-
I vided modern home conveniences for
their families and the best advantages
for their children.
Master Farmer Brannen, who oper^
! ates a 1225-acre farm near Statesboro,
! is a real champion of diversified farm
-1 ing, with livestock playing the leading
i role.
Until a few years ago, he was one
' of the largest cotton planters in his
i section. Today he gets most of his
, cash income from hogs. And he fol
. lows a live-at-home program by pro-
I ducing an adequate supply of vege
-1 tables, meats, poultry, and dairy prod
। ucts, as well as sufficient feed crops.
I Conwell, whose address is Route 2,
I Lavonia, has made a “story-book”
comeback in his farming operations.
Five years ago, he was practically
broke, owning little more than a run
down farm in Georgia’s red clay hills.
His selection today as a Master
Farmer tells its own story of his pro
gram.
A strong advocate of cooperative
marketing, Conwell has followed farm
and home practices recommended by
the Extension Service and similar
agencies to bring about his successful
results.
Norris, who is 37, owns a 124-acre
farm near Zebulon and operates 400
acres more. His farm plan calls for
a balanced program of soil-building
and food and feed crops, as well as
those crops which provide his major
source of income.
The sale of pimento peppers brings
in most of the Norris income, with
cotton helping to supplant this cash.
The Norris home contains all modern
conveniences.
The 29-year-old Tabor is the young
est Master Farmer ever selected. He
also holds the distinction of being the
only son of a Master Farmer to be so
honored. His father, A. W. Tabor, of
Peach county, won the award in 1927.
The Tabors own 350 acres on the
Houston-Peach county line. Although
living in Houston county, Tabor’s ad
dress is Route 1, Ft. Valley.
The young Master farmer is tilling
the soil today because he “changed his
mind.” He left his pre-medical course
at Emory when the farm called him.
His success in his chosen field is evi
denced by his selection today as a
Master Farmer.

Bells in Churchyard ‘Steeple’
We usually expect to find church
bells in their proper place in the
tower. To see them hanging in a
special ‘‘steeple’- in a church- ard
is a sight not to be forgotten. Thia
strange arrangement is at Qucar
ley, Hampshire, says London An
swers Magazine. The bells are rung
from the vestry by means of wires
running over pulleys.
Types of Peanuts
Two main types of peanuts are
the small Spanish peanut used for
salting and the large Virginia sold
in the shell. In making peanut but
ter the Spanish and Virginia are
blended, m the Spanish is oily
and the Virginia dry. The runner
is another fairly important variety,
but used principally in confections.

The Pacific ocean covers 71,000,000
square miles; the Atlantic, 34,000,-
