944 Report ; The Department of Agriculture

In this first issue of the New Year we are printing for your information as much of our bi-ennial report as space will
permit. We trust you will read this entire report and study the recommendations made therein. We believe the

future prosperity of our state is inevitably linked with Agriculture and through the continued promotion of Agri-

culture the prosperity of Georgia will be assured. _ TOM LINDER, Commissioner.





































To His Excellency, Ellis Arnall, Governor of Georgia and
Members of the Senate and House of Representatives:

I-am privileged, herewith, to submit a report on the operations, work oad expansion of
the Department of Agriculture of the State.

I have endeavored to make this report not only tell the story of the routine work of the
department, as well as its progress and development to date, but have also undertaken to out- ras
line and visualize the further expansion of the work of the department with an ultimate aim of
making Georgia second to none in the Agriculture of the Southeast. Sy ee

Agriculture is the foundation of business and industry. Georgia has a population of ap- ae
proximately three million. Approximately two million of these are on the farms.

- It is obvious that agriculture, which employs two-thirds of our population, is the founda-_

tion of all business and industry within the State.

Beginning in 1943, Governor Ellis Arnall made available cil ot the fees collected by the ;
Department of Agriculture to carry out the duties of the Department.
| On account of this liberal policy, the work of the Department has been largely expanded
and improved. A more specific account of these new and increased activities will be set out

in the following pages. =

Fertilizer inspection fees are paid only by farmers who
purchase commercial fertilizers. The control of the regis<

Georgia was placed under the Commissioner of Agriculture,

At the present time, fertilizer inspection laws are more
rigidly enforeed in the State of Georgia than any other
state in the Union. ,

The story of fertilizer inspection is told in its proper
place on following pages of this report. 3

During the last fiscal year, July 1, 1943, to June 30,
1944, there was sold through the medium of notices carried
in the Market Bulletin an astonishing amount of farm
produce and second-hand machinery, together with farms
and farm lands. ce

The total of these purchase and sales through the
Market Bulletin amounted to more than one million dollars.

The total cost of printing and mailing the Market Bul- -
letin for the fiscal year was $30,871.26.

The Market Bulletin reaches tens of thousands of
homes in Gedreia that receive no other regular publication.

No other regular publication has a circulation any-
thing like approximating the state coverage of the Market
Bulletin.

has carried 20,210 notices for farmers. At the regular ad-

The Market Bulletin is the only possible way that the
Commissioner of Agriculture can adequately inform the
farmers of the State as to the many problems of today.

It is the only means by which the farmers can be fully

MARKETS FOR FARM PRODUCTS

Profitable farming always depends in its last analysis

on profitable marketing. The Legislature, recognizing this

vital fact, enacted laws charging the Commissioner of Ag-

riculture with the duty of developing marketing facilities
and marketing svstems for the farmers of the State.

BUREAU OF MARKETS
In 1917, the Legislature created the Bureau of Mar-
kets (the same year that the Market Bulletin was created). -
The Legislature recognized the Market Bulletin as a
vital link in the farmers marketing system.
This is the reason the Bureau of Markets and the Mar-
~ ket Bulletin were created at the same time.

>

From May 10, 1941, through December 31, 1942, we sold a

rrand total of more than $19,000,000 worth of perishable
farm products through the State Farmers Markets.

It is vitally necessary that these farmers markets al-
ways remain under direct control of the farmers, Should
any of these markets ever fall into the hands and control of
groups other than direct representatives of the farmers,
they would not serve their purpose, but would be used to
depress the price instead of getting better prices for the
farmers products.

The system of farmers markets is, of course, far from
It has many imperfections and. needs a great
deal of improvement. This is being done just as fast as.

money is available with which to do it.

_ FIRST FARMERS MARKET 3
In 1935, the growing of vegetables, fruits and truck

crops was beginning to develop as a substantial factor in

Georgia agriculture.
The Commissioner of Agr ieuloute im 1935, see out

a bill to the Legislature pr eviding for ihe building of eight
farmers markets in Georgia.

This bill was enacted into
law, but no appropriation was made to defray the expense
of construction. Construction costs were to be paid. out of

fees derived after they began operating.

The first of these muirkets was built without any ap-

- propriation, in Atlanta, and was opened in February, 1936.
The over-all cost of this market was around $150,000.00.

The original market was built on land that was leased

for five years with a clause in the lease giving the State the

privilege of buying the land at a stated price within a given
time. The right to purchase this land was not exercised
and the original market reverted to the eG at the ex-
piration of the five year lease.
However, during the five years, revenue from this
market amounted to approximately $370,000.00. This was
enough money to pay all operating expenses of the market,
and es pay the original cost of $150,000.00.
During the year 1936, farmers markets were also es-

tablished at Glennville, Macon: Thomasville and Valdosta.

During the early part of 1941, the present mammoth
Market in Atlanta was constructed.
This market is the largest market of its kind in the United

States, and probably the largest market of its kind in the

world.
Gross business now being handled on the Atlanta Mar-
ket is almost $2,000,000.00 per month.

In the meantime, the markets at Glennville, Macon,

Thomasville and -V. widgets have continued to erow.

Since January, 1941, new markets have heen built at
Tifton and Hazlehurst, while a seasonal market has been
opened at Pelham.

_ Plans are virtually complete for a new market to be
built at Moultrie. |

The markets at Pelham and Glennville, in particular,
have shown wonderful developments as tomato markets.
Throuh these two markets in 1944, there was sold a total
of $446,366.75 of tomatoes alone.

The total value of farm crops sold through the existing
State markets during the vear 15 943, amounted to $21,259, -
218.07.

Discussion of plans for the further development of
markets for Georgia produce will be taken up on the last
pages of this report.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES DIVISION

The Legislature, in 1941, passed an Act providing for
snspection of weights and measures by the Department of
Agriculture.

Funds, however, were not available to acquire neces-
sary equipment and facilities to carry this law into effect
until after the incoming of the present administration.

The details of the work that has been done in this
connection are more fully given in the report of the head of
the Weights and Measures Division.

Enforcing the provisions of the Weights and Measures

Act has necessitated the purchase of considerable equip-_

ment. It was necessary to secure equipment for seales of
all kinds and sizes, ranging from counter scales up to extra
large truck scales. It was also necessary to employ addi-
tional personnel, and to train them for this work, as it could

not be done successfully by men who had no training for

the job.

The tremendous importance of pee weights and
measures cannot be-over-emphasized. The welfare of ev-
eryone who buys or sells is involved. From the housewife
whe buys a pound of sugar to the farmer who sells ten tons
of cottonseed in one lot. Hyeryone is entitled to receive #

eorrect Weight on what he buys or sells.

Apricultural Agencies, especially under the leadership of.
Mr. M .D. Mobley and Mr. T. G. Walters, of the Vocation
_Edueation Division of the Department of Education.

The Department of Agriculture undertook to develop
the idea of community cqgnneries for the people in the cities.

During the last two years we have expended the sum
of $52,822.33 in erecting and operating canneries on the
farmers markets in Atlanta, Macon and Thomasville.

- These canneries have proven very beneficial and very
fed and enlarged during the winter of 1943 and 1944.
The cannery at Thomasville was opened early in the sum-

mer of 1944.

These cannerie shave proven very beneficial and very
_ popular. They provide not only an opport unity for city peo-
_ ple to can fresh fruits and vegetables from their own gar-
- dens and orchards, but being located on farmers markets,
there is usually a eood supply of fruits and vegetables that
the housewife can purchase in close proximity to the can-
neries.

These canneries also provide additional sales oppor-
tunities to the farmers for the produce which they bring to
the markets.

-The operation of these canneries, of course, involves
the employment of experienced personnel as well as helpers.

In addition.to a supervisor for these canneries, each
cannery has a manager. There is also employed at each -
cannery a lady who is skilled and experienced in the pre-
paration of fruits, vegetables and meats for canning.

These canneries are set up as nearly practical on a self-
sustaining basis.

ANIMAL PATHOLOGY LABORATORY

_ During 1943 and the first part of 1944, there has been
added to the Veterinary Division an Animal Pathological
Laboratory.

The purchase of necessary equipment for this labora-
tory required expenditure of considerable sums. It is one
of the most modern and complete laboratories of its kind
in the country.

The addition of this Animal Pathological Laboratory,
m addition to the outlay for purchase of equipment, has
necessitated the employment of trained technicians and
pathologists as the work is highly technical.

The value of this laboratory to the growers of live-
stock and poultry could hardly be over-estimated.

THE FARMERS LONG-TERM PLAN FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The last three decades have brought tremendous
changes to the people of Georgia on. the farms as well as in
the cities.

World War On and its aftermath left us floundering
in a haze of economic, social, political and agricultural
uneertainty.

The advent of the boll weevil, the emigration of farm
workers and the erosion of the soil has made necessary a
complete change in our agricultural life and agricultural
practices.

The development of farm machinery and labor-saving
equipment together with the extension of electrical power
into rural communities have, to some extent, compensated
for the loss of farm labor.

2 The extension of power lines, together with the advent
of many household conveniences, electrical and otherwise,
along with the radio, have made country life somewhat
more desirable.

The building of consolidated schools in the country : |
counties has brought greater educational advantages to Weighing packaged goods to determine whether or not these pack:
farm ehildren. ages contain the amount of merchandise claimed to be in the package.

Nevertheless, the necessity for a complete change in
agricultural practices has brought a great and, as yet, un-

Department of Agriculture, undertaken to outline a prac-
tical program which I believe and hope will be of assistance
to keeping Georgia off the rocks and bring our ship after
the storm back to her true course and back to her true
status as The Empire State of the South.

In doing this, I have endeavored to the fullest extent
to collaborate and advise with all other agricultural
agencies.

I have also conferred with other members of the Ag-
ricultural and Industrial Development Board. I have also
conferred and collaborated with other Departments of
mtate, especially those whose activities cause them neces-

sarily to be interested in a Bee and prosperous ag-
riculture for Georgia, -

OUTLINE OF PLAN.

My conception of the Legislature S purpose in creating
a Department of Agriculture is that it envisioned four
primes purposes to be attained:
1. To create as large a cash income from ea crops
as it is practical for us to attain.
To make Georgia. agriculture as nearly self-sus-

3. To build an agriculture that will be a firm support
for business and industry.
4 To protect the health of the people in every way
He > possible...

ES FARMERS MARKETS

One of the oldest problems of agriculture is markets.
Markets have always been of prime imoprtance to the
city dweller. In the ruins of cities of antiquity where ex-
eavations have been made, the market places have been
identified by the deep wearing in the pavement stones. :

Marketing is still the prime problem of agriculture
after home needs have been supplied. oS .

Marleting is still one of the prime necessities of the
city dweller.

Tn a previous chapter, I have briefly described the:

origin and development of Georgias state markets down to
| the. present day.
ee ey planning for a lone-term development, the first on
the list is further development, enlargement and expansion
of Georgias farm marketing avetemt

If you will draw a line from Valdosta, Georgia, to
New York, from New York to Chicago.and from Chicago
back to Valdosta, you will have, roughly, an equilateral
triangle 900 miles on each side. The center of this tri-
Bile. will be about 450 miles from Valdosta and aponY 200
. miles from Atlanta. :

If you cireumscribe a circle around this EOE you
will include almost one-half the population of the United
States. This circle will extend to the Mississippi river on
the west. Washington City lies within over-night hauling
distance of almost. all the large cities east of the State of
Ohio.

With a large Georgia State Hien! Market at or
near Washington City, farmers will be able, in my opinion,
to sell unlimited-amounts of Georgia produce of every kind.

Retail mrchants in Baltimore, Harrisburg, Pitts-
burgh, Philadelphia, New York and many other large cities
and | smaller towns will come in their trucks and buy their
meeds just as the merehants from Atlanta, Birmingham,
Chattanooga and Knoxville now come to the Atlanta mar-
ket to buy. their supplies.

: The railroads have diversionary points to wae loads
of perishable products can be shipped and from there di-
verted to the best markets.

While the railroads offer this facility the farmer has
no means of taking intelligent advantage of it unless the
state has a set-up at or near Washineton to give diversion
ary instructions on these shipments.

.. To illustrate: A peach grower'in Georgia can ship a
car of peaches to Potomac Yards for diversion: However,
when the car of peaches arrives on these yards, the Georgia
farmer is still in Georgia. He cannot follow his car of
peaches to these diversion points. If he did follow his car
of peaches he would not have sufficient information to
know to what point his car should be diverted. |

With a State Market at or near Washineton and with
aman in Baltimore, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Philadelphia,
New York and other centers of population to furnish in-
formation as to supply and demand, the States center at
iWashineton would "be able to divert these products of the
garmer each day to those cities where the sunply was low-
est and where prices. consequently were best. :

_ It is amazing to know the difference in the price of a
car of peaches, a car of watermelons, a car of beans or a car
_of other perishable products i in different cities on the same
day.

other products to bring one hundred per cent more on one

market than they will on some other market the same day,

In planning for the future, it is therefore necessary, in
my judgment, for the State of Georgia to build a large State
Farmers Market at or near the city of W ashineton,

This plan proposes the erection of such a market in
the near future. Such a market will be self-sustaining and
will actually show a net revenue to the State. Such a mar-
ket will make it possible for Georgia farmers to find a
profitable market even with an increased production of all
perishable crops at least one hundred per cent above pres-

a

ent levels.

This plan envisions the further development of mar-
kets here in Georgia as production increases so as to bring
the local markets as near to the producers as is practicable,

' It must be borne in mind, however, that the farmers
market, like any other business, must have sufficient
volume of business to attract truckers and buyers. Other-
wise, the market will fail. Buildings and market facilities

= have a volume of business that will attract them.

OTHER LARGE TRANSFER MARKETS NEEDED

| Large transfer markets should be developed at Au-
gusta and Savannah. |
Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and Savannah are logical
concentration points for moving fresh fruits and vegetables
on their way from the farms to the northern and eastern
-eonsuming centers.
The market at Macon is already well established but
needs to have increased facilities. Macon especially needs
some modern brick buildings for produce merehants who
will buy from farmers and sell to the northern and eastern
markets. 2 3
Augusta is the natural gateway for produce from a
Jarge area in Georgia and should have developed a mam-
- moth market on the order of the Atlanta market.
Savannah is also the natural gateway out of southeast
Georgia and should have a large farmers market develop-
ed to round out a full marketing system. Ss

GRADING, PACKING AND LABELING

The successful marketing of perishable products will
mvolve proper grading, packing and labeling. This is a
iremendous undertaking and will require the co-operation

of all agricultural agencies, business men and farmers who.
are interested in the production and marketing of perish-
able products. =
_ The State Department of Agriculture has already. put
m a limited number of grading machines. At this time,
grading and packing is not receiving the attention that it
will necessarily have to receive after the war is over. The ~ :
big demand incident to the war has, to some extent, lessen-
ed the necessity of grading and packing.
_ Also, the fixing of price ceilings by the Office of Price
_ Administration has, in many cases, made it possible to get
more for ungraded products than could be had for graded
products under these ceilings. |
All of this, however, is a temporary condition and will
be entirely changed after the close of the war. - :
This plan proposes for the State to put in grading ma-
chines only to the extent necessary to encourage the es-
tablishment of such machines by farm co-operatives and
middle men.

It is proposed that these machines, belonging to the
State, shall carry to each farmers market a demonstration
of what Georgia farmers and merchants can do in offering
Georgia products to northern and eastern markets, proper-_

ly graded, packed and labeled.

LIVESTOCK

_ The livestock business in Georgia is rapidly becoming
our major industry. We now have some forty-eight live- _
stock auction barns in the state. s :

_ These are under supervision of the Department of

~ Agriculture. a =e
Livestock auction barns constitute one of the greatest
" hazards in the spread of livestock diseases.
_ One of the greatest problems with which the Depart-
ment of Agriculture has to contend is the spread of hog.
cholera and other swine diseases by bringing diseased ani-
mals to these auction-markets.
The Department of Agriculture is now doing all that
- can be done, under the cirmumstances, by maintaining

- livestock inspectors at these auction barns and requiring

hogs that are not sold for immediate slaughter to be inoc
ulated against cholera. ve Le
This is not entirely a satisfactory solution, however,
because hogs that are inoculated with live virus will spread
cholera among healthy herds of hogs that have not been
_ treated against the disease.

LIVESTOCK AUCTION BARNS

The great need of many of these livestock auction Ze

barns is sanitation. : :
. Sanitation cannot be had without properly constructed.
barns, pens and lots. ay

This plan proposes the erection by the State of con- - -

erete and steel auction barns.
- It is proposed to construct the floors of these barns,
pens and lots in such manner that they can readily be
_ washed, cleaned and disinfected after each sale. The build-

. ing of sanitary livestock barns would be werth millions of qe

dollars to Georgia agriculture.
These barns can be built so as to be self-lhquidating
and not cost the taxpayers of the State a penny. The
building of such barns would not in any manner interfere
with the individuals and companies who are now engaged
inthe operation of livestock auction barns. ae
. It is proposed that.such barns be rented to those in-
dividuals and companies who wish to earry on livestoek
auction sales and rented at such a figure as will liquidate
the cost of building them, after which time, these barns
would provide a continual souree of income to the State.
- from the rental value. , |

TOBACCO

Tobacco is one of our major crops in Georgia. Under
wartime conditions, the demand for Georgias bright flue-_
cured tobacco has made it unnecessary to redry and store.
the tobacco in the State. At the close of the war, when
_ production increases and stocks are carried for a longer
time before being processed by the manufacturers, it will
be necessary for much of this tobaceo to be redried and put
in storage. ue

Under the present set-up, Georgia is not really a major
factor in the tobaeco industry. ee

Georgias warehouses are largely operated by ware-_

housemen from the Carolinas, who come to Georgia for

a few weeks and sell the Georgia crop before opening the
major markets in the Carolinas and Virginia.

This plan proposes the erection of necessary redrving

plants and tobacco storage warehouses in Georgia.
This plan proposes an inerase in Georgia tobacco



acreage, to the extent that Georgia shall produce not less fe

than twenty-five per cent of the bright flue-cured leaf of
the nation. :
This will make Georgia a major factor in the tobacco

industry. It will give us-a long-time market as they have.

in North Carolina. It will relieve the necessity of the
Georgia tobaceo grower rushing his tobacco from the field
to the warehouse, regardless of price and regardless of
whether or not the tobacco is ready for market.

ot oe PEANUTS

_* Peanuts have recently developed as our third largest
_ money crop.

_ The wartime demand for peanuts as the source of oil
will certainly decline when peace is restored. |

; There is, however, a movement in the peanut belt by.
business men to develop a market for peanuts for edible

purposes. It is possible for us to develop a market for all

of the peanuts Georgia will be able to produce.

This plan proposes to put every facility of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture behind those men who are trying to
develop uses, processes and markets for peanuts in their
many edible forms.

\

7 DAIRY PRODUCTS

Georgia is rapidly developing as a great dairy State. TE

have investigated and visited the dairy industries of Iowa
and Minnesota.

I find that the development of the dairy industry and.

milk by-products in. that section is largely built on eo-
operatives.

At Mason City, lowa,.I went through a dairy |plant.

This plant is putting up about two earloads of butter each

day. The butter for American consumption is being wrap-

ped in one-pound blocks and one-quarter-pound_ blocks.

Most of the butter for Lend Lease is being put up in tubs.

The butter plant is furnished butter by local farm co-oper-
atives. :

These loeal co-operatives operate their own. creamer-
jes. The cream belongs to local co-operatives and these o-

_ operatives in turn operate the butter plant and dehydrat-

- Ing plant. So)

This dehydrated skim milkyis put up in barrels, much
of which has been sold here in Georgia.

Georgia must develop as a dairy state and our beef
production will continue largely to be of grass-fed cattle.
This is true because we cannot, in Georgia, attain the per
acre production of corn that they have in the corn belt of
the middle west. This, however, is no discouragement to
us, as there is, normally, more net profit in dairying and in
grass-fed beef finished on concentrated feed than there is
in corn-fed beef. This is especially true anywhere except

in the great corn belt. : i

% FEED FOR LIVESTOCK

It must be remembered that Iowa, about the size. of
Georgia in land area, produces almost one-fourth of all the
corn produced in the United States. The average produc-
tion of corn in 1942 in Iowa was fifty-nine bushels per
_ acre for the entire State. Many of the better farms pro-

duced from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty bushels
per acre. On most of the farms, the corn is planted in
checks three feet and. four inches each way,.with three
and four stalks in each, hill and with one and two ears to
each stalk.

Considerable work has been done and very satisfactory
progress is being made in developing a feed for beef cattle
made from a mixture of corn-and dehydrated sweet po-

_ tatoes. Z : ;
: The growing of sweet potatoes, of the jumbo type,
should be largely developed and increased in Georgia for
stock feed.
: * \
_ Georgia land will produce potatoes of this type and
-give very large yields. ;

These potatoes not only provide one of the best feeds
fer legs in their raw state, but they can be dehydrated and
ground into meal and provide the best known substitute for
corn in a beef eattle ration.

As most farmers know, the production per acre of this
type potato is much greater on average land than the pro-
duction of good potatoes for table use and for processing

_ for table use. : ? :

Dre to the fact that sweet potatoes are in such great
derend for human consumption, it has not been possible
to develop the growing of sweet potatoes as cattle feed to
a very large extent.

ihe sweet potato and peanuts make. it possible for
Georgia hog growers to compete with the corn belt. It is
hoped that the development of dehydrated potatoes and

POULTRY

Securing high quality feed at reasonable cost is the
most potent factor in the profitable produetion of poultry,
and eggs. :

_. The necessary transportation of feed from one section

to another and the cost of such transportation is one of
the greatest drawbacks to profitable poultry and egg pro-
duction. : :
___ Co-operative action between farmers who grow feed
and farmers who are producing poultry and eggs is essen-
tial. This means co-operation between feed rowers and
poultry growers in the same county or community.

The establishment of suitable*machinery for crushing
and mixing the feed in the community where the feed and
poultry are produced will greatly reduce the cost of pro-

duction of poultry and eggs and will increase the return to
the feed growers on their crops. ;
This plan therefore proposes the establishment of co-

At the present time there is no particular standard or
grade on broilers, fryers and other poultry in Georgia,
when it is dressed and shipped to consuming centers.

It is essential, to obtain best prices, to build a reputa-
tion for a better grade of poultrythat we have a standard.
it is essential that we have proper inspection and official
stamping on the individual birds. With the proper system
a hotel or restaurant proprietor would be able, instantly,
to identify poultry that was from Georgia and that had
been dressed in Georgia. They would know that each of
these birds had been inspected by competent veterinary,
imspectors and was wholesome, fresh and of the best quality.

This better grade poultry would command a premium
in the consuming markets in the north and east and would
greatly increase the returns to the producers.

This plan proposes the establishment of such veteri-
nary inspection service under the State Department of

Acriculture. :
GRAIN ELEVATORS AND DEHYDRATING PLANTS

It is proposed, through private capital, to develop
sufficient grain elevators at strategic points to handle all
corn, wheat, etc., that can be produced profitably for mill-
Ing purposes.

A great deal of Georgia grain suffers severe deteriora-.
tion and damage through the ravages of weevils and for
the lack of proper handling and proper storage.

All of the shuck and cob from corn, as well as the
screenings from thrashed grain can be profitably utilized
in the manufacture of stock and dairy feeds.

In the past, a great many Georgia farmers have been
unable to find a profitable market, at harvest time, for corn
and other grains due to lack of elevator facilities.

ONCENTRATION OF CROPSSCUPPERNONGS,
GRAPES, BERRIES, ETC.

There are a great many crops that can be profitably



grown and marketed in Georgia which are not now gener-
ally grown for market. The profitable marketing of these

erops will depend upon the concentration of production.

Honorable Cason Callaway is getting wonderful re-.
sults in the production of blueberries and scuppernongs.

There is a tremendous demand for scuppernongs and
berries, but in order to get profitable marketing of these,
it is necessary to have concentrated production so that they;
can be sold in carload lots. Both seuppernongs and blue-
berries can be sold in earlots for cash to the producer at the

point of loading.

The average farmer cannot produce berries and seup-
pernongs in sufficient quantities to market by himself. I
am simply-using scuppernongs and blueberries as an
example.

_ There are.many other.crops that will do well in Geor-
gia but much of them are in the same position as blueber-
ries and scuppernongs. pe

As an example of what can be done and what this plan
proposes, let us take one county.

Suppose that one hundred farmers in a county would -
each lay off ten acres of land. Suppose at or near the
center of this ten acres he laid off two acres and planted
one acre in sc@uppernongs and one acre in blueberries.

Suppose that he planted the other eight acres sur-
rounding the two-acre plot in pine trees and planted these
pine trees far enough apart so that he could get between
them with a hay rake. Hach winter he rakes the straw for
mulch on the two acres of blue-berries and seuppernongs.
He is growing a crop of timber and is producing one acre
of scuppernongs and one acre of blueberries. Once or
twice each week on given days, these one hundred farmers
take their blue berries or scuppernongs to the nearest rail-
road station-and load them in cars to go to market. They
can get their money at the sidetrack when the ears are
loaded.
All of the cultivation these scuppernones and bltie-
berries need is the mulching with pine straw. in winter-
time. They require no cultivationin the spring when the
farmer is busv with his other crops. He does not have to
worry about this any more until harvest time. These two
acres in scuppernongs and blueberries will bring a eash
income in many sections of Georgia that will be more than
the entire cash crop from all the other crops grown on a
one or two-horse farm. oe

This is just an example of what could be done, not only
with blueberries and seuppernongs, but with many other
similar crops. At the end of twenty years this man will
have a fine crop of pine timber on eight acres and he will

We come now to the bedrock of Georgia agriculture.
Cotton is a crop that has been the backbone of the south
for a hundred years or more. Jt was the export of cotton

that gave this country a favorable trade balance for gen-

erations. Ji was largely the export of cotton that. made
- possible the building of railroads, industrial plants and
_skyserapers, yeh has eee the erowth of this great
nation.
God, inHis goodness, has made a large part of the
south a cotton country, just as He made Iowa a corn
country. If the people of the south permit themselves to

be deluded and defrauded out of their inheritance as a

eotton country, they indeed will have given their birth-
right for a mess of pottage.

COTTON AND THE LAND

| ganda, that Georgia soils were impoverished by the grow-
ing of cotton. The erowing of cotton does not impoverish
land if good fanming practices are followed.

~ WHAT CAUSED GEORGIA LAND TO BE POOR?
Georgia is blessed by hature with very diversified soil
and climate. Georgia land, in-comparison with some se-
tions of the country, was poor by nature. 2
The soils of Georgia land were formed by volcanic
action which raised the mountains in our northern sections.
The lower strata of the earth were brought to the
surface and rolled down the slopes from these. .great
mountains to the sea.
~The heavier materials came to rest first. The lighter
materials were carried farther along by great floods.

Many minerals are found in the soils in the valleys

of North Georgia which are not found either in the pied- -

mont or coastal plains.
In the Piedmont section of the State the soils are
largely composed of clay. Down in the lower Piedmont

and coastal plain areas, the soil is largely sand and silt with

a generous intersprinkling of pebbles. In some places,
there are large sections with clay and semi-clay sub-soil.

~ Down through the centuries, Mother Nature built a
soil on these deposits of voleanie upheaval. The result was
that Georgia soils were shallow soils in their first state
when the white man came to America. _

These virgin soils, therefore, needed strict conserva-
tion and soil building methods even at the time when Ogle-
thorpe landed at Yamacraw Bluff.

When slavery was introduced into Georgia it was ac-
cepted for one reason. That reason was to get cheap labor
to do the back-breaking toil of clearing the forest and farm-
Ing the land: _

Since Georgia soils were shallow and light, it followed
that these soils could not last if they were subjected to
uncontrolled erosion over a period of years. -

-If the early farmer in Georgia had known and had
followed better crop rotation practices, the soil would still
have disappeared through the annual washing away and
erosion into the streams.

It was the failure of the farmers prior to the War
Between the States, during the war and just after the war,
to prevent erosion that really caused the depletion and
impoverishment of Gorgia lands.

The need for proper crop rotation, cover crops and for
_ sound farm practices did not grow out of the production
-of cotton. They were necessary regardless of whether we
grew cotton or did not erow cotton.

As a matter of fact, the production of cotton takes
_wery little out of the land.

~ COST OF PRODUCING COTTON

We are told that this country cannot produce cotton
as cheaply as South America and some other countries.
Of course, we know that we cannot maintain our stan-
dard of living above other nations and produce cotton at
the same price that they can produce it. :

This, however, does not apply to cotton any more
than it applies to any other commodity.

If you apply that same line of reasoning, we cannot
produce corn because it can be produced cheaper some-
where else; we cannot produce beef because it can be pro-
Under that same reas-
ening, we could not manufacture cotton, rayon, steel or any
other industrial commodity because labor is cheaper in
other countries and they could ee ae it cheaper
_ than we could. .
China could put in cotton and rayon mills and sell cot-

against not only imported cotton, but against industrial
rayon and other imported fibers that compete with cotton.
This is just a matter of common sense.

Because our fathers went to one extrme and planted
all cotton and permitted the.soil to wash away into the
streams is no reason that we should go to the other ex-
treme and renounce our birthright.

EXCESS CITY POPULATION

This nation is top-heavy with cities. The farm pop
ulation has been permitted to become too small for an
enduring nation.

-< Georgia fortunately. still has a preponderance of its
people living on the farms. The number of people living
on farms in Georgia should be greatly increased.

History has unerringly demonstrated that no nation
long survives when its city population becomes greatly in
excess of its rural population.

The increase in farm population can be brought about

which are not now paying money crops in the State.

With a rapid increase in all population in the United
States, there is no danger of agriculture over- pe in

=the United States.

Of course, so long as we have a National. Policy. of :
bringing in millions and millions of tons of butter, eggs,
meats, wheat, corn, sugar and fresh vegetables, we will
always have imported surpluses to beat down the price of
the American farmer. We cannot produce a surplus but
we can and do import surpluses.

Industry and business will be in the same condition
as agriculture when it comes to the question of meeting
world market prices. -

A policy which reduces the American farmer to a level
of world prices will ultimately change the industrial
worker and the business employee to a level of world
prices. It is impossible to have a high American standard
of living either for agriculture or industry and at the same
time lower our prices to meet the prices in world markets,

This is a national question and must be handled by our
Congressmen and Senators in Washington.

_ Nevertheless it is one of the most vital questions
affecting the people of Georgia and the South.

A SELF-SUSTAINING AGRICULTURE

Making Georgia self-sustaming as to food reduiae
first, a diversified agriculture.

The work of the Department of Agriculture, unde
the law, in making Georgia self-sustaining as to food, cen=
ters in the control work which is placed in the Department
by the Legislature. |

This plan contemplates a continual enlargement and
expansion of the work of disease control inanimals and
poultry; protecting farmers in the purchase of pure seed;
strict inspection and control of commercial fertilizer and
insecticides; strict enforcement of Food and Feed- Laws,
and furnishing, through the medium of the Market Bulle-

i

\ tin, ready information on the supply, prices and location

of plants, seeds, eggs, chickens, pigs and other products
which each farm may need to buy in order to make that
farm self-sustaining.

PROCESSING AND PRESERVING PLANTS
It is proposedto encourage the establishment of plants

for the manufacture of dairy by-products and to establish

milk routes through the State that will go from farm to
farm and pick up the surplus milk for these plants in order
that each farm family may have plenty of fresh milk and

- butter and at the same time have a ready cash market for

all surplus milk produced. :

This plan also proposes the esiablighinent of a butter,
cheese and dehydrating plant for the manufacture of but-
ter, cheese and other milk by-products in Atlanta, Macon,
Augusta and Columbus. It will be necessary for these
plants to be operated by business men who are experienced
in the manufacture and sale of milk by-products. The
securing of these men and the financing of such plants is a
job for the business men and bankers of the State. I know,
from my experience and contact with the bankers and
business men of the state that this end of the pee can be
put over.

The average Georgia farm is the potential source of
from five to twenty-five gallons of milk per.day in addition
to all farm needs if only a market is provided for it at the
same time. It is proposed, as rapidly as possible, to estab
lish adequate cold storage and quick-freezing plants on the
State Farmers Markets,

It is proposed to assist in every way possible i in getting
as many farms as possible equipped with quick-freeezing

units, where butter, eggs, meats, poultry, vegetables and

fruits may be preserved for considerable length of time in
a wholesome condition instead of gradually deteriorating

and becoming unwholesome and, in many cases, unfit for

food.

In eases where it is not practical to get this equip-
ment'on individual farms, then certainly there should be
a community unit where such services can be provided for
members of the community...

One of the major things that can be done to make
Georgia self- sustaining as to food is in the establishment
of processing and preserving plants in producing sections.

Georgia, for instance, is rapidly developing as a to-
mato producing section. Most of our tomatoes are sold in
the green stage. )

In the spring of this year, on two of the State Markets,
we-sold considerably more than a half-million dollars
worth of tomatoes. In all probability, this volume of |
tomatoes will double and triple within the next few years,

large percentage of tomatoes that get too ripe to be shipped

: There is a tremendous consumption in Georgia of to-
mato catsup, yet, there is not a catsup plant south of Mary-
land. Certainly we should be able to establish and de-
velop the business of manufacturing catsup on a commer-
cial scale. :

In the same way, we ean establish processing plants
for fruits and vegetables of many kinds, thereby not only.
making Georgia more self-sustaining as to food but at the

same time, we will be creating small industries which will
supply employment for many workers.

FARM POWER

A great deal has been said with regard to power on
che farm. .

During the last two decades, wonderful progress has
been made in mechanizing farms. In many cases, motor
power has been substituted for animal power.

Mechanization of farms has proved to be an almost
perfect solution of many problems on many farms.

It is important, however, that we do not go to ex-
_ tremes on this or any other subject. Most of our ills grow
. out of going to extremes. :

There are many farms where animal power ean still



power and their feed produced on the farm, this helps to
make the farm self-sustaining. :

he buying of tractors and fuel requires the outlay

of large sums of money. In cases where it is practical

amount of labor ean be saved in so doing, it is most
desirable. |
On many farms, however, mules and horses ean still

be used to best advantages.

7 In every lot where draft animals are kept, the farmer
can produce one number one hog each year for every draft
animal kept in the lot. He can do this without any addi-
tional feed.and at very little additional cost. s

SEED |

One of the greatest helps toward making Georgia self-

sustaining agriculturally will be in producing as many of
our own planting seed as possible. 2
Hivery year a large amount of money goes out of
Georgia to buy seed which could be produced here in
Georgia.
his plan looks to the encouragement of some of our
_ farmers to specialize and major in the production of plant-
ing seed. J | |
This will, of course, require the co-operation of busi-
ness men to furnish proper facilities for cleaning and

handling and to merchandise these seed back to farmers

, that need them.

As an illustration, the peanut growers of Georgia have
experienced serious difficulties and loss due to planting
seed peanuts that would not properly germinate. ..... '

This has been in large measure due to two causes.

First, peanuts for seed need to be cured and stacked

differently from peanuts that are to be used for processing |

purposes.
_. Peanuts for processing, whether in oil mills or for
edible purposes, are in greater demand when they retain
a bright color. |
ae In stacking peanuts so as to retain the bright color,

it is easy for them to pass through a heat that destroys the

germination in a large per cent of them.

The first principle in good marketing is full produe-
ae Full production, cannot be obtained without good
seed.

This plan envisions the encouragement of some peanut
growers to grow peanuts for seed. The growers of seed
peanuts will, of course, handle their peanuts in a most ap-
proved manner for retaining strength and vigor of germi-
nation. : :

After these seed peanuts are picked, they should be
passed through a cleaning machine which will not only
remove any foreign matter remaining, but which will also
separate the faulty and under-weight nuts.

The Experiment Station at. Experiment, Georgia,
under Dr. Stuckey, and at Tifton, under Dr. King, are
doing a magnificent work in finding the best varieties of
seeds for Georgia farmers. _

After the best variety has been found, it is necessary

to find some farmers who will undertake correct. breeding

and development of these proper varieties in sufficient
quantities to supply Georgia farmers.

_ It should be understood that this idea is not presented

as original, as considerable work is already being done in

Tt is not necessary here to undertake to enumerate
the many crops whose seed can and should be produced

TERRACING | |

The very first principle of being self-sustaining is-

to have soils that will produce profitable crops...

The first step in the retaining of soils that we already,

have, as well as in building new soils, is to stop erosion.
Many people do not realize that when heavy rains
eome and the water runs off of cleared fields, a great deal
of humus and plant food is lost, even when no gullies or
washes are left in the field. As you ride the highways of
Georgia you ean note that old plantations, where proper
terraces have been maintained for generations, are still
producing good crops. a
You will see that this-is true in fields on which cotton
and other row crops have been planted year after year.

Bureau of Markets

The influnece of World War II has been greatly felt in
the Bureau of Markets and has made the work of the Bureau
even more important to the farmers.

Among the most important jobs of the Bureau is the
operation of eight Farmers Markets in: Atlanta, Macon,
Thomasville, Valdosta, Pelham, Glennville, Tifton, and Ha-
zlehurst. To these markets, farmers bring their products and
there they find buyers. Total sales during the two-year pe-
riod, July 1, 1942 to June 30, 1944, was $39,445,857.07. Sales
so far this year indicate a new high.

Canneries are being operated in Atlanta, Macon and
Thomasville. The cannery at the Atlanta Market, the first
of its kind in the Nation, processed approximately one-half
million cans of fruits, vegetables, and meats the first season
of operation...

: Also among the important functions of the Bureau of
Markets is the publication of the Georgia Farmers Market
Bulletin. Editorials in this periodical, by the Commissioner
of Agriculture, keep the farmers advised as to agricultural
trends and developments. Through free notices in the Bulle-
tin, hundreds of thousands of dollars of farm products are
sold. annually. Its value to the farmers is attested through
the hundreds of letters received daily requesting that their
names be placed on the mailing lists.

If proper terraces are built and tne and

proper rotation of crops is practiced, there is no reason
why our farms should not get better as the years. go by.

There has already been some splendid work done in

soil conserving and soil- building.

Proper terracing is too expensive for the ordi

farmer unless aprangements can be made for him to get
equipment with which to do the Job, He must also have
expert and experienced assistance in properly laying out
these terraces: Assistance is being furnished by county
agents and agricultural teachers. This plan, therefore,

PAGE FIFTEEN ~

recommends securing from the Federal Government

enough suitable equipment at the end of the war to aid

the farmers i in each county, who so desire, to properly ter-

race their lands..

Terracing is also the first step to the building of Sys:
tematic surface water control.

Where the land is properly terraced, and especially
where the field has a cover crop, surface water drains off

slowly and does not carry silt and vegetable matter which

elogs ditches and small streams and prevents the free flow
of surface water as it drains away to ereeks and rivers.

Proper terracing also prevents contamination of fish-

jng streams and ponds with muddy water and silt.

All terracing adjacent or near streams which flow con-

tinuously should be built with a view to the construction
of a dam or dams at suitable locations along the stream.

Such dams, with proper side ditches to prevent on-

tamination. of the pond with muddy surface water, will not
only provide a continual supply of fish for food, but, in:
many cases, such pond will provide an inexpensive means
of irrigation that will double and triple the yield-on many
acres of Georgia land.

In many cases a dam ean be constructed and the water
from the pond can be made to flow by gravity along a ditch

or terrace that slopes away from the pond, but which has

less fall than the natural bed of the stream.

In this manner the water can be made to flow to a
point where it will be considerably elevated above. the
natural stream.

This water can then be used for hillside irrigation at
very little expense.

This plan, therefore contemplates the Department of
Agriculture furnishing the necessary information and blue-

prints to farmers who desire them, to enable farmers to-

carry out these developments for themselves.
This proposal of the Department of Agriculture will

in no way conflict on interfere with the splendid work

now being done by the Department of Natural Resources.
This will, simply be a supplement and aid. to what they

are trying to accomplish. :

TIMBER

I would also like, in this connection, to call attention
to the indiscriminate cutting of pulpwood.

The World War has necessitated the severest strain on
American forests in all history.

In traveling over the State I see evidence of indiserim-
inate cutting of pulpwood; the land has been completely, -

-denuded of trees.

When timber is large enough for pulp, it will not re-
quire many years for some of that timber to grow large
enough for saw trees if it is properly handled.

In cutting pulpwood care should be taken to leave the
straightest and largest trees at sufficient distances to
produce a crop of sawmill timber.

This will not prevent a young.
springing up and starting to grow another crop of pulp-
wood. It will, at the same time, insure a crop of saw
timber which will be more profitable that pulpwood.

It will also insure a better stand of young trees for the

next pulpwood crop. .

Great progress has been made in recent years in

. bringing better edtfeational advantages to-dur rural youth.

This has been properly done, not only to build a better

citizenry, but also to build a better agriculture and a better
State economically.

Unfortunately, we must face the fact that the better
equipped our young people become in rural districts educa-
tionally, the more they are inclined to leave the farm and
go either to our cities or to leave the South entirely and
go to other sections where their talent and education en-
able them to obtain more money.

So long as our young people leave the localities where

they lwere Waiced we cannot make any real progress in

the building of our State.

_So long as this continues, the rearing and education
of these young people is a continual drain on our resources

anstead of constituting an addition to our assets.

Many people have advocated Federal appropriation

to supplement our funds for educational purposes.

Without in any way discussing the desirability of Fed-
eral appropriations, I wish to call attention to the inescap-

cable fact that the very need of Federal funds for education .
is proof that our citizens, after they are educated, are not

inereasing our econorhic resources in those communities
where they received their education.

Whether we resort to Federal appropriations, or

whether we do not, the fact remains that until such time as

a young man or young woman ean leave high school or
college and go back to the farm and there find a source of
at least, as well as they can
find in other sections, then we cannot say that our agricul-

ture Is a success.

This is the reason that the Commissioner of Agricul-

ture is continually, insistently and urgently demanding a
price for agricultural products that will give the farmer
true parity for farm crops.

Nothing less than true parity for farm crops will make
it possible to build a sound and profitable economic agri-

-eulture and business structure in our rural areas. If we
are to have better educated farmers and farm women than

those that are found in other lands, then we must have
more money than farmers receive in these other lands.
The idea that a well-educated, intelligent and self-

respecting American citizen can produce onions as cheaply

as a Mexican peon who works for 40 cents a day is absurd.
The idea that this American can produce cotton as

cheaply as the natives of Brazil and Argentina is equally
absurd.

The idea that a cultured Georgian can develop an
expensive pasture, plant corn and potatoes, which must
be cultivated, and then grow beef as cheanlv as beef ean
be produced on the natural, luscious plains of Argentina,
is unthinkable.

at. 18 just as unreasonable to expect'a Georgia farmer
to compete in price with the nations of the world as it
would be to expeet an industry to pay American wages and

then compete with the penniless hordes of China and

Russia
This is the reason that the Commissioner of Agrieul-
ture continually and persistently opposes trade treaties

and special trade agreements which permit the inflow of

eheap agricultural products from other continents and
from the islands of the sea. \

: : CO-OPERATION
I would especially like to express my appreciation to

Governor Ellis Arnall and the General Assembly.

The work done by this and other Departments under

this administration would not have been possible except
for the farsightedness and liberality of the General As-
sembly of 1943 3, and of Governor Arnall in his able, friendly

and generous administration of the states affairs and his
genuine interest in the agriculture ofthe State.
For the able and efficient assistance rendered by

State Auditor B. I. Thrasher we are deeply grateful. Mr. -

Thrasher has, atall times, shown an understanding inter-
est in the activities of the Department. He has-been most
co-operative in rendering valuable service outside of his
duties as a member of the Budget .Commission and State

Auditor.

I wish te eall attention to the especial, cordial and eo-
operative relations between the Department of Agricul-

ture and other departments with wihase work our activities :

are related.
We wish especially to express our appreciation to the

State College of Agriculture, the Extension forces and the

officials of the Experiment Stations. Our association and

Food and Feed Division

Confronted with many new problems arising as a result of the war, the Koon
and Feed Division ended a two-year period June 30, 1944 with a total of 42,598 ine
In addition, 5,445 brands of feed were registered, and: 1,711 orders.
to withhold products from sale were issued. A total of 790 samples were take
and analyzed, and 220 abatements to improve sanitary conditions were issued.
T'wo hundred ninety-one wholesale fish dealers licenses were also issued.

spections made.

Through inspectors throughout the State, the Division examined tons of food
and feeds and where necessary destroyed that which was found to be unfit for
human consumption.









Thousands of plants, vee for planting, were also destroy as



days.

The Pure Seed Division of the Georgia Department of Agriculture made con
siderable progress during the two-year period ending June 380, 1944, a total of
1,363 seed inspections have been made during that time. The State Pure Seed Dia
vision carried on a co-operative working agreement with Federal seed enforcemen
officers that work to the benifit of both agencies. :

, The Pure Seed Division issued 74 orders witholding seed from sale where theyj
failed to meet State requirements and analyzed 516 seed samples. Seed withheld
for being improperly tagged, totaled 321,187 pounds. The average time required
to analyze and germinate the different seed found in Georgia was from 15 to 30;

Germination

This is another section of the Seed Laboratory
where seed are tested for germination. Seed
that do not germinate under this test within the
time limit, are either hard seed or else they are
dead. The number of seed that germinate out of
each hundred pui in this germinator. is the per-
centage of germination. In this wey the percent-

PLANS FOR THE UTC RE

After: three-and one-half years in the office of Com-
sioner of Agriculture I was impressed with the need for

mprehensive plans for the future of the Department and
the farmers of the state.

discussed the need of such plan with Goueinor Ellis S

ll from time to time and with his approval I proceed-
to formulate a program which, under fourteen heads,

ver what I believe to be th most pressing needs of. 3
culture in the State from the fee of the De--

tment of Agriculture.
After makine these plans I was very anxious to have
ull endorsement of the Agricultural Industrial Coun-

SO. that these plans for Aerieulture would have the.
