COMMISSION ER VOLUME 28 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1945 NUMBER 16 944 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. = Respectfully submitted, : skgomae ; S a Se hs xe z 3 t and, at the same time, gives addiiional customers tp the ae 8 and 8 are steel and Sauce each of these sheds rand on each side of the driveway ee oe entire ah of three shcds cover moro than iwo acres of land.

The control of the regis< tration, sale and inspection of commercial fertilizers in 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. ee During the last twelve months, the Market Bulletin has carried 20,210 notices for farmers. At the regular ad- vertising rate of a large daily paper, this same amount of advertising would have cost the farmers $90,048.00. The Inspector placing test weighis on a computing scale to determine average notice carried in the Market Bulletin would cost *f scale is giving correct weight. the farmers $4.48 in a large daily paper and would not be. oo worth one-half as much to the farmers as it is in the Market Bulletin as the Market Bulletin goes to, tens of thousands of home that do not receive any other regular publication. Through the columns of the Market Bulletin there has been made available to the farmers a great deal of factual information which was not made available to them by any. other souree. : 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 informed of public events as they occur which have a direct bearing on the problems of agriculture. Without the information carried in the Market Bul- letin, the farmers of the State would be deprived of many, facts which are vitaY to them. we 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. te - The sare scule adier it was tested and found to be incorrec}.

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.

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- solved problem to ee farmers and business men of the : 2 State. | Chemisiry Division In the midst of our - efforts to find the proper solution to these problems, we were confronted with the outbreak EER Ae Se RU ery EREY At ONeT Testing a 500-pound platform scale.

With all these things in mind, I have, as | Head of the PAGE SIX 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- = a | taining as possible. 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. ap Ae ih pt uncommon for watermelons, peaches and i MARKET BULLETIN x Wednesday, January 3, 1945 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 ~- The interior of the Hehey Duty truck loaded with werelis and cart.

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 i & A seed inspector inserting sampler into sack. The sampler goes the entire length of the sack and is closed before being inserted. After it is inserted it is opened and gets seed from the entire length of the bag. Samples are taken from enough bags to represent the entire lot. Satine | The sced poured on a cican paper. and thoroughly mixed. The in- Spector is filling a special envelope made for seed samples, 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 Fe py: 5 PAGE EIGHT 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 OS # MARKET BULLETIN belt in the feeding of beef cattle. DAIRY DEVELOPMENT | t he Georgia to develop a real dairy State. Not all the land in Georgia is suited for dairying, and, of course, we would not want all the land in Georgia devoted to dairying. 7 There is much land in Georgia that could be easily, diverted to profitable pastures through the use of hillside a Wednesday, January 3, 1945 cracked corn feeds will enable us to compete with the corn, There is a tremendous amount of work required in irrigation. There is much bottom land that will make good summer pastures without irrigation. very experienced farmer knows that a great deal of our land will not pros duce good pastures in summer without irrigation. There are places where irrigation is practicable at a reasonable would be prohibitive. SOUR CREAM PRODUCTION eost. There are other places where the cost of irrigation The production of sour cream is merely. an expedien and should not be included in a long-time program.

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- Feed inspector itseriing fecd saripler inte & hey of iced.

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 wr PAGE NINE ~ duced cheaper i in some other lands. PAGE TEN have two 0 aeres of as rich land as can be made i im 1 this part < of the world. t 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. .

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 fee This is one section of the storage room for feriilizer samples/ that have been sent in to the Commissioner of Agriculture by fertilizer Inspectors. More than 7,000 of these samples were taken in the Spring of 1944. This is a section of the Phosphoric Acid Division of the Fertilizer Laboratory. Here the Chemist determines the phosphoric acid con- | tent. A shortage of 10 per cent or more in phosphoric acid in mixed goods, subjects the manufacturer to a penalty " 25 per cent, MARKET. BULLETIN PAGE ELEVEN through increased atith better markets for many farm crops 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, In the handling of a tomato crop there is always a + os "Wednesday, Jamusry 3, 1948 i 4 during summer months 60 shows a. picture of the sealer, the crate. reforis and the cooling vat.

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 St: MARKET BULLETIN be used to great advantages. Where animals are used for and profitable to mechanize and buy fuel and where a large Georgia in selection and breeding of many different seed. Te Wednesday, January 3, 1945 The only idea advanced here is the encouragement of ex tended activity alon@ this line in order that our seed needg may be filled in so far as practical here in the State. Tt is not necessary here to undertake to enumerate the many crops whose seed can and should be produced of high quality sufficient for our needs. | : 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. When you ride along these same highways you can note that fields, where proper terraces have not been mains Here the chemist is determining the amount of potash content in a sample of commercial fertilizer.

MARKET BULLETIN 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. i tained, are devoid ofr soil and the iiet tes are filled with pullies. | 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. . TEETH IN FEED AND SEED LAWS The present Seed and Feed Laws of Georgia are good, They do not, however, have sufficient teeth to make it pos: sible to properly protect farmers in buying be made to the seed and feed laws to correct this deficiency, IN GENERAL A great deal has been said and dene in Georgia to promote education in all its branches. This is as it should be. An enlightened citizenry is the firm foundation of an 4 enduring sepublic Great strides have been made in our eduational sys- tem and succeeding administrations and State Legislatures crop of timber from. seed and feed, . I, therefore, recommend and urge that proper amendinent 7 livelihood, approximating, PAGE SIXTEEN ~ have ungrudgingly supported the development of our education institutions. 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.
