addition to ner work as soloist
and director of the Baptist

grams produced by the Com
mission and aired in more than
2,000 broadcasts across the na
tion each week.
She was guest singer for the

don came after an earlier ap
pearance with Dr. Graham in
the Astrodome in Houston.
In 1965 she was soloist in the

oratorio “What Is Man?” at
the Miami meeting of the Bap
tist World Alliance. She also

Miss Bushman is acclaimed as
one of the most accomplished
organists in the Southern Bap
tist Convention. She frequent
ly accompanies Miss Shelton in
her recordings and concerts.
Because of their tremendous
load of responsibilities at the
Radio-TV Commission, the two
can accept only a limited num
ber of personal appearances
each year.

will begin at 7:30 p.m. each
evening.

Dates Set For
1969 Commodity
Program Signups
Signup for farmers in Geor
gia who wish to take part in
the 1969 feed grain, wheat and
cotton programs have been an
nounced by Rufus Adams,
Chairman, Georgia State Ag
ricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Committee.
All commodity program
signups will be held during
the same period — February
3, through March 21. Signup
applications indicate the far
mer’s program intentions, in-
cluding the extent of his par
ticipation in the programs.
Under the feed grain pro
gram for 1969, farmers may
earn diversion and price-sup
port payments as well as
qualify for price-support loans
on their corn, barley and grain
sorghum crops; feed grain di
version payments will be
available to all program par
ticipants in 1969. The wheat
program provides diversion
payments for reducing acreage
below the farm allotment, and
price-support loans on all the
wheat produced on the farm.
It also provides marketing
certificates to bring returns
up to full parity on the part
of the wheat crop allocated for
domestic use. No diversion
payment is available for cot
ton.
While the signup period for
1969 commodity programs will
extend through several weeks,
the Chairman urged that far
mers who wish to take part
in the programs file their ap
plications as soon as they de
cide on 1969 production plans.
“Time has a habit of getting
away from us sometimes be
fore we know it, so it’s a good
idea not to delay in filing
program intentions,” he said.

i Nixon administration.
. After the 39-year-old Maddox
r appointee was sworn in as agri
, culture commissioner, Irvin
said: “I’m going to try to be
i a commissioner of agriculture
- all Georgians can be proud of.”
One of his first acts in office,
- he said, will be to travel around
the state meeting with farm
- leaders to learn their problems.
In appointing him to the agri
-5 cultural post, Gov. Maddox said
- this about Tommy Irvin:
> “He has been one of the most
i able and dedicated men I have
- known in my life. He has al
» ways been able to take what-

ever I’ve thrown at him. When
given difficult decisions to
make, he has always been found
capable. I have never been able
to overload him.
“I believe that his keen busi
ness sense and his dedication to
the people of Georgia make him
highly qualified for this new
position. I have no doubt that
he will serve as ably as Com
missioner of Agriculture as he
has in his many other appoin
tive and elective offices.”
