LITTLE CHANGE IN
FARM PICTURE
Agriculture in the 1970’s
will be in much the same
position it t was in during the
decade of the 60’s, says
Thomas B. Walkup, an out
look and market analysis spe
cialist of the Cooperative Ex
tension Service.
This is true even with the
predicted changes through the
next decade.
Os course, we can expect
new innovations and techno
logy to continue increasing ef
ficiency and production. But
the producer will continue to
be in his familiar position of
facing rising production costs
without much increase in
prices.
Walkup says the thought of
farmers being elevated from
this position through major
changes in policy, price struc
ture and marketing system
seems fairly remote. It would
be incorrect to predict that
the farmer will emerge from
price-cost pressures into a sit
uation of great prosperity in
the next decade.
However as we progress as
a nation the farm producer
will benefit also, but to a
lesser extent than other sec
tors of our economy.
As 1970 begins it is difficult
to forecast what the next year
will bring. We do know that
there will be very little farm
legislation passed for some
time. Most likely, there will
be few significant changes
that will affect our 1970 crop
year.
The Extension outlook and
market analysis specialist adds,
however, that changes could
be quite significant in 1971.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR
SMALL PRODUCERS IN
COTTON PROGRAM
Small farm benefits are in
cluded in the 1970 upland cot
ton program, according to H.
L. Page, Chairman of the
Bryan Agricultural Stabiliza
tion and Conservation (ASC)
Committee.
Small farm payments will
be 11.95 cents a pound times
the farm projected cotton
yield times 35 percent of the
farm allotment. These pay
ments will be made only to
producers with cotton allot
ments of ten acres or less or
those who have a projected
production of 3,600 pounds or
less on their allotment. To
earn this payment a farmer
must sign up for the voluntary
cotton program and comply
with the program provisions.
He may plant no cotton, some
cotton or his entire allotment
and still receive the special
small farm payment.
The small farm payments
provision does not apply
where the transfer of allot-
Bedingfields
Host Christmas
Guests at the Christmas
Party last week of Mr. and
Mrs. Nelson Bedingfield of
Pembroke were welcomed in
to the foyer of their lovely
home where the Christmas
Spirit was exemplified in a
charming miniature manger
scene arranged on pine straw
and placed on an antique
washstand. Forming a back
ground for the stable and Holy
Family and draped over the
Washstand mirror were
boughs of fresh green cedar
with frosted berries of blue.
The Bedingfields greeted
their guests, Mr. and Mrs. E.
Terrell Owens, Mr. and Mrs.
John Stubbs, Mr. and Mrs.
Randall Bazemore, Mr. and
Mrs. Danny Warnell, Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Owens, and Mr.
and Mrs. Bobby Purcell, at the
double doors at the entrance
of the home which were hung
with two rectangular arrange
ments of gold magnolia leaves
adorned with Christmas green
ery and realistic fruit.
Shining brightly above the
many gifts in the living room
was a tree with decorations
made to appeal to the heart of
a child. Hanging from the
branches of the large tree
were gingerbread men, angels,
and candy canes as well as
traditional ornaments.
Above the living room buffet
was a collage featuring nat
ivity scenes and on the buffet
was an arrangement of fresh
holly with red berries and
Christmas balls arranged in a
white soup tureen with de
signs of raised fruit in green.
The ceramic tureen was one
of the many beautiful hand
crafted ornaments fashioned
by Mrs. Bedingfield.
Decorations in the den in
cluded a miniature snow cover
ed Christmas tree decorated
with handmade eggshell dec
orations, a gift to young
Laurie Bedingfield from her
great-great aunt, Dr. Sarah
Nelson, of Milledgeville.
Christmas cards were display
ed on a dried tree limb spray
ed with snow and hung with
balls of red and gold. An 1
antique clock on the gun case
in the den was draped with
fresh pine needles and red
flocked pine cones.
Covered in a cloth of gold,
the serving table boasted a
handsome centerpiece consist
ing of a diagonal snow laden
tree branch featuring tiny.
bird nests with miniature
colored birds perched upon
the limbs. Angel hair and
snow-covered holly adorned
the base of the arrangement,
with four candles burning
among the branches.
Mrs. Bedingfield served her
guests meat ball miniatures,
party sandwiches marsh
mallow snowballs, gum drop
butter cookies, chips and dips,
hors d’oeuvres, coffee and
cokes and other seasonal deli
cacies.
Mr. and Mrs. John Stubbs
and Amy were guests of Mrs.
Stubbs’ parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Cliff Bostick of Camilla, Ga.
during the Christmas week. The
Stubbs left Lanier on Wednes
day, Dec. 24, and enjoyed sev
eral days of visiting with fami
ly and friends before returning
home on Sunday.
ments created a small cotton
farm. That is, Page explain
ed, if a producer with a 20-
acre allotment leased 15 acres
for transfer off his farm, he
is not eligible for the small
farm payment on his remain
ing 5-acre allotment. Nor is
a small farm which is created
by release of allotment acres
eligible for small farm pay
ment.
All cotton producers who
sign up in the 1970 program
and comply with program pro
visions will be eligible for reg
ular price-support payments
of 16.80 cents a pound times
the farm’s projected yield
times the cotton acreage plant
ed within the farm’s domestic
allotment. (The domestic al
lotment is 65 percent of the
regular cotton allotment for
the farm.)
All cotton producers in the
1970 program also will be eli
gible for price-support loans
based on a national average
loan rate of 20.25 cents a
pound for all cotton they pro
duce.

Girl Scouts Enjoy
Yule Party
Girl Scouts gathered Wednes
day afternoon at Curry Annex,
each placing a gift under the
beautiful tree they had previ
ously decorated with handmade
ornaments.
Leaders, Mrs. Sammy Wil
liams and Mrs. Joyce Wasson,
served delicious refreshments,
after which favorite games
were played.
The highlight came when
the girls began passing the
gifts around their circle as
Mrs. Williams played “Jingle
Bells.” When music stopped,
the gift each girl held was hers
to keep.
NEW APPROACH TO TRAFFIC
Neither snow nor rain, nor
heat, nor gloom of night will
stay the commuter from swift
arrival at his place of work.
Paraphrasing the motto of the
Post Office, this sentence sums
up the vastly improved pros
pects for daily transportation
that may give traffic tie-ups
the air.
For small urban strips and
airports will soon be able to
break the congestion barrier
through the use of light weight,
inexpensive, miniature Micro
wave (Instrument Landing
System) developed for around
the-clock, low-visibility opera
tion. The name of the device is
Talar*. It was developed by
The Singer Company, the
widely diversified firm inter
nationally known as a leading
sewing machine manufacturer.
To enable an aircraft to use
Talar for instrument ap
proaches, it needs only to be
equipped with two small elec
tronic boxes that have a com
bined weight of less than 10
pounds.
While not radar in the con
ventional sense, the new sys
tem does use many radar tech
niques. Briefly, it is specially
designed to supply informa
tion on aircraft position to its
pilot directly, rather than to
an operator on the ground. The
present design includes a num
ber of changes suggested dur
ing flight tests by the Air
Force. The system is-presently
being delivered to the U.S. Air
Force under contract.
A ground transmitter, which
weights 57 pounds excluding
power supply, is fully transis
torized except for the trans
mitter tube. The airborne unit,
is fully solid-state in construe-

A STATEMENT BY OWNERSHIP
We, the family of Frank O. Miller, mourn his
passing. But more than that we are left with a
responsibility to carry on the tradition of the news
paper in his family. It was his last wish that The
Pembroke Journal be continued to be published
bv his family and that will be done. We are sure
that The Pembroke Journal will not be the same —
after all, it was Frank O. Miller as much as it was
The Pembroke Journal. Our plans are for it to be
continued as nearly in the manner as he would
have done as possible. The publisher will be Mrs.
Frank O. Miller, the editor will be Homer F. Miller;
the rest of the family, with the support of our many
friends, will take an active interest in the operation.
Our endeavor will be to live up to the motto that has
’ so long been part of The Pembroke Journal, “Liked
’ my Many, Cussed by Some, Read by Them All.”
! The guantlet has been passed — IT WILL NOT
FALL.

Instrument approaches by aircraft were conducted using the
TALAR lauding approach system developed by the Singer Com

and ground support equipment are available to outfit small
urban air strips for around the clock, low visability operations
to cope with inter-city and intra-eity transportation problems.
