FARM INCOME AMOUNTS
TO OVER 90 MILLION
DOLLARS IN 9 MONTHS
More than 90 million dollars in cash
farm income was received by Georgia
farmers during the first nine months
of 1939, January through September,
from the sale of crops, livestock and
livestock products, and money received
in government benefit payments, J.
W. Fanning, farm management spe
cialist for the Georgia Extension Ser
vice, announced from Athens.
Mr. Fanning said the total income
■of $90,941,000 provided a net increase
of more than one million dollars in
total cash farm income through Sep
tember of this year, as compared with
the same period in 1938.
Sales of crops brought farmers
$51,624,000, while livestock and live
stock products amounted to $lB,-
127,000. Farmers received $20,890,000
in government benefit payments, an
increase of more than $9,000,000 over
the same time last year.
For those in the livestock business,
Mr. Fanning cited some conditions
which will likely have to be met by
those producing beef cattle, hogs,
dairy products, and poultry and eggs
in 1940.
“Cattle producers next year are
faced with the prospects of a further
slight reduction in cattle slaughter, a
somewhat stronger demand f6r meats,
increased competition from larger
supplies of pork, and continued ex
pansion in cattle numbers,” the farm
management specialist pointed out.
“Farmers can expect hog market
ings to be large next year, much

Green sauce and gooseberries for
a green goose — with a dash of
lemon or orange Juice — was recom
mended for a festive meal as long
ago as 1762 by William Gelleroy,
"late cook to her Grace the Duchess
of Argyle, and now to the Lord
Mayor of the City of London.”
To thousands of families today a
goose is the holiday bird par excel
lence — whether served with Gel
leroy’s green sauce or a more
modern accompaniment of whipped
sweet potatoes in orange shells!
Before going ahead with the menu
and tested recipes for a grand
dinner built around the traditional
roast goose, the green sauce recipe
from the Lord Mayor’s cook’s cook
book may delight you with its
simplicity.
"Take a handful of sorrel, beat it
tn a mortar and squeeze the juice
out, add to it the juice of a lemon
or an orange and a little sugar,
heat It in a pipkin and pour it into
yeur dish. You should never let
your green sauce boil, if you do it
will become yellow and turn to
curds. You may add gooseberries
to the green sauce.”

larger than any of the last few years,”
Mr. Fanning continued. “For the year
as a whole, hog prices may average
lower, or at least no higher than in
1989.
“Dairymen may expect some in
crease in milk production, since there
is an increase in the number of cows.
Due to rise in commodity prices and
business, however ,the increase in
milk production will probably have
little effect on prices of dairy prod
ucts.
“Larger supplies of poultry and
eggs during the remainder of 1939
and first half of 1940 are expected,
with smaller supplies during the lat
ter part of next year. A general im
provement in the poultry and egg
situation is indicated for the last half
of 1940.”

SBO FROM EGG SALES
PER FARM IN*OCTOBER
Georgia poultry raisers received an
average gross income of nearly SBO
per farm during October from the sale
of eggs, according to Arthur Gannon,
poultryman for the Georgia Exten
sion Service and supeivisor of demon
stration farm flocks in the state.
A gross income of 25 cents per hen
was realized for the month on these
demonstration poultry farms, which
include approximately 300 cooperators
over the state. The average selling
price of the eggs for the period was
around 27 cents.
Average egg production per hen
for the month on all farms cooperating
was 10.5 eggs, or an average of over
Whipped Sweet Potatoes
In Orange Shelia
4 cups boiled or baked sweet
potatoes
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
Orange juice to moisten and whip
8-10 orange shells
Whip sweet potatoes with salt,
butter and orange Juice. Heap into
orange shells. Make rosettes on
top of each orange by forcing
potato through a pastry tube. Put
in moderate oven (350“ F.) for 20
minutes, or until heated through.
Top each orange with a candled
cranberry or cherry. (Serves 8-10.)
To make shells, choose clean
skinned oranges of medium size.
The California navel oranges, which
come into market at the holiday
season, are especially good for this
purpose because of their smooth
textured, bright-colored peels. Cut
off tops of oranges and remove pulp
and Juice with a sharp knife or
spoon. The shells may be prepared
the day before using and kept fresh
by covering with damp cloth and
storing in a cold place.
Hard Sauce
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
Cream butter and sugar together.
Add fruit Juices and rind. The
holiday motif may be»warried out
by coloring sauce green or red with
a bit of food coloring. This sauce
is also an excellent icing for cakes
and cookies.
275 dozen per farm. The average flock
numbers 217 hens.
Wild Life Division
Breaks Record In
Three-Month Drive
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 23—Records in
all phases of wildlife activity, includ
ing enforcement and education and
their related subjects, were set by
Georgia’s Division of Wild Life dur
ing the months of September, Oc
tober and November.
Since Charlie Elliott was made Di
rector of the Division under the non
political set-up more licenses have
been checked, more cases have been
made and more game clubs have been
organized than ever before in any
previous three-month period in the
State’s history.
Pointing out that his goal in Geor
gia’s Wild Life Division is still far
away, Elliott Saturday revealed that
results of the Division’s work for these
three months were “encouraging” but
shy of what he hopes to occomplish
in the forthcoming quarter.
He declared that violations were
still taking place in the fields and
streams of the State despite the dis
couragement offered by a force of 66
uniformed rangers who have made
arrests for everything from holdfng
pets without permits to selling game

Rangers launched a vigorous en
forcement drive in November and
came up with 214 cases as compared
to 145 for both September and Oc
tober.
“This was only half enough,” EL
liott exclaimed, “as there have been
many violations that escaped our
vigilance.”
Cases made for the three months
overshadowed all old records, how
ever, by a comfortable margin and
totaled 359.
Fifty-eight persons were convicted
and only a few escaped without pen
alties.
During the three month span 7,378
licenses were checked by Rangers.
Half of this number came last month.
Over 30 game clubs, in addition to
numerous junior clubs, have been or
ganized by Rangers since September.
Several men in the field are writing
weekly wildlife columns. Ranger Ed
Wall contributes a regular feature to
seven newspapers in his North Geor
gia area. Rangers have accounted for
416 news stories, to their own knowl
edge. These were stories in which
Rangers were the news sources.
Reports showed a wide variety of
violations. Over 20 “quail” cases were
listed. Activity included liberation of
fish from pot holes to live waters and
even the untangling of a mule that
had unwittingly wrapped up in a wire
fence.

Louis A. Johnson
Speaks Jackson Day
By Georgia News Service
Atlanta, Ga.—Assistant Secretary
of War, Louis A. Johnson will be the
principal speaker at the Jackson Day
Dinner for Georgia January 8 in At
lanta, insuring the most brilliant
Democratic Pgrty celebration ever
held in this State, it was announced
by Major Clark Howell, State Chair
man of the Dinner.
Georgia Democrats who contribute
outstanding services in the prepara
tions so rthe annual Dinner will be
awarded certificates of honor by the
Executive Committee, Major Howell
revealed as plans for the Dinner were
speeded.
Jubilant over Colonel Johnson’s ac
ceptance of the invitation. Major
Howell, said the distinguished guest
is one of the most eloquent and inter
esting speakers in the Party’s or
ganization, enjoying a wide reputa
tion for a witty and entertaining style
combined with the ability to deliver
a serious message forcefully and
thoughtfully.
Major Howell said: “Colonel John
son’s acceptance alone insures the
success of the undertaking, which will
assemble every important figure in
the Democratic Party of Georgia.
Everyone present will attend his
words with real interest, and the pub
lic interest will be great.”
The keynote of the 1940 Jackson
Day Dinner will be harmony. The
occasion is especially significant as
1940 is election year and the Demo
crats will be marshaling their forces
to present a united front, seeking to
keep the Party in power. Politics will
be forgotten for the day insofar as it
relates to factional or intraparty lines.
Major Howell and his associates
are highly pleased over the magnifi-

Winter Is full of pictures—indoors and out—that you should be capturing
now.
WHEN one is taking pictures—in
the winter or any other time—
there are just three things to seek.
They are: interesting subjects, or
interesting occurrences, or inter
esting effects of light.
Any of these —or all together—
w’ill yield good pictures, and you can
find th^m almost anywhere.
At random, I have set down a list
of winter picture ideas —just sug
gestions to set your imagination
working. Load up your camera, try
them —and I’ll hazard the guess that
you can turn out dozens of good
pictures in the next few days.
First, snow pictures. Can you pic
ture the sparkle of sunlight, falling
across new snow? Curious shapes
of snow in drifts, on trees, on shrubs
md fences. Children sledding, or
hrowing snowballs? Shadow pat
terns on the snow? Neighbors shov
eling snow from the house walk? A
horse-drawn sleigh? Tracks of peo
ple, or birds, or rabbits, in the snow?
Snow falling, soft and white, out
side your window? Paths beaten to
barn or garage? Birds in the snow,
pecking at crumbs? All these will
make good pictures.
Then, cold weather. Can you put
cent response so far by Democrats.
Pledges of cooperation and support
have come in from all sections of the
State following announcement of plans
for the Dinner on the anniversary of
Old Hickory’s victory in the Battle
of New Orleans.
Progress in obtaining acceptances
of leading Democrats of every section
of Georgia as county chairmen or
county committeemen has been en
couraging, Party leaders from “Rabun
Gap to Tybee Light” rallying to the
Party’s call.

cold into a picture—so that the
viewer feels it? How about a pic
ture of an old horse, nuzzling a
frozen-over water trough? Icicles
hanging from a faucet or pump
spout? Frost on the kitchen window
pane? Passersby, bending into the
wind, snuggled deep into the collars
of their overcoats? Someone scat
tering cinders on an icy pavement?
A small boy, rubbing his frosty ears
with mittened hands? An old auto
mobile with radiator spouting
steam? A stretch of open country
with snow clouds dark above it?
These are good pictures—they tel!
the story of winter.
Again, indoors. Warm pictures, to
contrast with the cold outside. Have
you tried fireside pictures? Pictures
of the family toasting marshmal
lows, or telling stories before the
fire? Reading, under the warm glow
of a lamp? These are good—and
easy to make, with fast X-type film
and two or three photo bulbs.
Pictures such as these are inter
esting because they tell a story.
They have “something to say." And
they are the snapshots you should
be getting now.
