MARKET BULLETIN

In 1917, the Legislature, to facili-
e the dissemination of information

to aid the marketing of farm prod-_

8, posses an Act cre ating the Market
in.
State Market Bulletins ate given a
econd class mailing privilege by an
of Congress.
The Act of the Legislature ereating
eorgia Market Bulletin provides
cost of printing.and mailing to
out of fertilizer inspection fees.
ertilizer inspection fees are paid
y by farmers who purchase co1-
reial fertilizers. The control of the
tration, sale and inspection of

nercial fertilizers in Georgia was

d under the Commissioner of Ag-
Iture.

/EIGHTS AND MEASURES
DIVISION

The Legislature, in 1941, passed an
providing for inspection of weights
_ measures by the Pepetnent of











facilities to carry this law ie bffect
until after the incoming of the present

administration.

The details of ihe work that has

been done in this connection are more
fully given in the report of the head of
the Weights and Measures Division.

. PURE SEED
| The Legislature, in January, 1941,

enacted a Pure Seed Law which be-

came effective July 1, 1941. The work
of enforcing the provision of this law

has progressed as fast as funds were |

available.
Georgia now has an excellent seed

| laboratory. We have technically train-

ed personnel that is carrying on this
work in a most satisfactory manner.

The details of what has been ac-

complished in enforcing the provisions

of the Seed Law will also be found in
the report of the head of the Seed Di-
vision.

ANIMAL PATHOLOGY
LABORATORY

During 1943 and the first part of
1944, there has been added to the Vet-

erinary Division an Animal Patholog-

ical Laboratory.

The purchase of necessary _ equip-
ment for this laboratory required ex-
penditure of considerable sums. It is
one of the most modern and complete
laboratories of its kind in the country.

The addition of this Animal Patho-
logieal Laboratory, in addition to the
outlay for purchase of equipment, has
necessitated the employment of train-
ed technicians and pathologists as the
work is highly technical.

The value of this laboratory to the
growers of livestock and poultry can
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
elties.

; World War One and its aftermath
left us floundering in a haze of eco-

nomic, social, political and agricultural
uncertainty.

The advent of the boll weevil, the
emigration of farm workers and the

ie

extent,





erosion of fe soil hae made necessary}

a complete change in our agricultural

life and agricultural practices.

The development of farm machin.

ery and lavor-saving equipment togeth<

_er with the extension of electrical pow-

er into rural communities have, tu some
compensated for the lORe ol
farm labor.

The extension of power. lines, toe ss
gether with the advent cf many house-

hold conveniences, electrical aud other-
wise, along with the radio, have made
country life somewhat more desirable,

The building of consolidated <elcols

in the country counties has brought.
ereater educational advantages to farm:
children.

Nevertheless,
complete change in agricultural prae
tices has brought a great and, as y
unsolved problem to. the farmers a
business men of the State.

In the midst of our efforts to fing
the proper solution to these problema

we were confronted with the outbreak

of the greatest war in history, World =

War Two. >

Now at the conclusion of this great |
we are faced with the greatest
know
that now this war that has come to an

war,

uncertainty of all time. We

end, we will have greater and more dif.

the necessity for a



fienlt problems to solve than ever Ber :

fore.

We realize that whatever Hers arc.
made now will necessarily have to b
revised and amended to conform to on-
tinual changes.

We know also that if we do nol
make plans and at least begin the

groundwork of carrying them out, wi
will be caught in a helpless, hopeless

muddle from which only many years 04

hardships with good fortune can extri- |

cate us and restore us to a happy state
with contented and prosperous farm:
ers and with a sound and growing bus-
cate and industry founded on agnent:
ure

With all these things in mind, }
have, as Head of the Department ol
Agriculture. undertaken to outline a





ASS

practical program which I believe and

hope will be of assistance in keeping

yeorgia 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 ant

While the railroads offer this facili-

ty the farmer has no means of taking
_jntelligent advantage of it unless the

state has a set-up at or near Washing-

ton to give diversionary instructions
on these shipments. -

Georgia can ship a car of peaches to

ever, when the car of peaches arrives

ear of peaches to these diversion poiuts.
Tf he did follow his car of peaches le
would. not have sufficient information
to know to what point his car should
be diverted.

With a State Marien at or near
Washington and with a man in Balti-
more, Harrisburg, Pittsburg, Philadel-

phia, New York and other centers of |

population to furnish information as
to supply and demand, the States
center at Washington would be able to
divert these products of the farmer
each day to:those cities where supply
was lowest and where prices conse-

quently were. best.

It is amazing to know the difference
in the price of a car of peaches, a ear
of watermelons, a car of beans or a
ear of other perishable products in dif-
ferent cities on the same day.

It is not uncommon for watermel-
ons, peaches and 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,
tor the State of Georgia to build a large
State Farmers Market at or near the
city of Washington. | /

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 market will make it

possible. for Georgia farmers to find a-

profitable market even with an increas-
ed. production of all perishable crops
at least one hundred per cent above
present levels.

This plan envisions the further de-
velopment of markets here in Georgia
as production increases so as to bring
the local markets as near to the pro-
~ ducers ag its. practicable.

It must be borne in mind, however,
that the farmers market, like any oth-
er business,, must have sufficient vol-
ume of business to attract truckers and
buyers. Otherwise, the market will
fail. Buildings and market. facilities
alone do not make a market. To have
a market, you must have buyers. To
have buyers, you must have a volume
of business that will attract them.

OTHER LARGE TRANSFER
MARKETS ~

Large transfer markets should, be
developed. at Augusta and Savannah.

Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and Sa-
vannah are logical concentration points

for moving fresh fruits. and vegetables

on their way from the farms to the
northern and eastern consuming cent-
ers.

The market at Macon is_ already
well established but needs to have in-
creased facilities. Macon especially
needs some modern brick buildings for

farmers and sell to the northern and
eastern markets.

7 GRADING, PACKING AND
LABELING |

The successful marketing of | p
ishable products will invelve proper
grading, packing and labeling. This
is a tremendous undertaking and. will
require the co-operation of all agricu
tural agencies, business men and far
ers who are interested in the produe-
tion and marketing of perishable: pro
ucts.

The State Department. of Agricul:
ture has already put in a limited num-
ber of grading machines, At this tin
-prading and packing is not receiving
the attention that it will necessarily,
have to receive after the war is ovel
The big demand incident to the wai
has, to some extent, lessened the ne
cessity of grading and packing.

pr Also, the fixing of ceilings by the

Office of Price Administratin has, in
many cases, made it possible to get
more for ungraded products than: could
be had for graded products under these
ceilings.

m AUl of this, however, is a tenipone i
condition and will be entirely change .
after return to normalcy.

This plan proposes for the State. s
put in grading machines only to the
extent necessary to encourage the es-
tablishment of such machines by farm
-CO- operatives and middle men. pe

It is proposed that these machines,
belonging to the State, shall carry to
each farmers market a demonstration
of what Gorgia farmers and merchants
can do in offering Georgia products: to
northern and eastern markets, pr
ly graded, packed and labeled.

| LIVESTOCK

The livestock business in Georgia
is rapidly becoming our major indus-
try. We now have some forty-eight
livestock auction barns in the state.
These are under supervision of the
Department of Agriculture. | :

Livestock auction barns constitute
one of the greatest hazards in the
spread of livestock diseases.

One of the greatest problems with
whieh the Department of Agriculture
has to contend is the spread of hog
cholera and other swine diseases | by
bringing diseased animals to these auic-
tion markets. ;

The Department of. Roig is
now doing all that can be done, under
the cireumstances, by maintaining live-
stock inspectors at these auction barns
and requiring hogs that are not sold
for immediate slaughter to be inoculat-
ed against cholera.

This is not entirely a: satisfactory
solution, however, because hogs that
virus will
spread cholera among healthy herds of
hogs that have been treated against
the disease. eS

barns would provide a continual source

TOBACCO

- Yobacco is also one of our major
crops in Georgia. Under wartime con-
ditions, the demand for
bright flue-cured tobacco has made it
unnecessary to redry and store the to-
bacco in the State. At the close of the
war, when production imcreases and
_ stocks are carried for a longer time
before being processed by the manu-

facturers, it will be necessary for much

of this tobacco to be redried and put in
storage. ee =
~ Under the present set-up, Georgia
is not really a major factor in the to-
bacco industry. |

MARKET BULLETIN:





12 preat dairy State. : T have investigat-
ed and visited the dairy industries in

Towa and Minnesota.

I find that the development of the
dairy industry and milk by-products
in that section is largely built on co-
operatives. : :

At Mason City, Iowa, I went
through a dairy plant. This plant is,
putting up about two carloads of but-
ter each day: The butter for America

eonsumption is being wrapped in one-

pound blocks and. one-quarter-pound
blocks. Most of the butter for Lend
Lease was being put up in tubs. This
butter plant is furnished butter by lo-
eal farm co-operatives. |
These local co-operatives operate
their own creameries. The cream be-
longs to the local co-operatives and

these co-operatives in turn operate the -

butter plant and dehydrating plant.
This dehydrated skim milk is 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 con- .
tinue largely to be of grass-fed cattle.
This is true because we cannot, in Geor-

gia, attain the per acre production of
-gorn that they have in the corn belt of

the middle west. This, however, is no-
discouragement to us, as there is, nor-
mally, more net profit in dairying and
in grass-fed beef finished on concen-
trated feed than there is in corn-fed
beef. This is especially true anywhere
except in the great corn belt. z

FEED FOR LIVESTOCK
It must be remembered that Towa,

about the size of Georgia in land area,
produces almost one-fourth of all the

-eorn produced in the United States.
The average production of corn in 19438

in Iowa was fifty-nine bushels per acre

for the entire State. Many of the bet-_
ter farms produced 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 cat-

le made from a mixture of corn and-
dehydrated sweet potatoes.

The growing of. sweet, potatoes, of

the jumbo type, should be largely de-

veloped and increased in Georgia for

stock feed. 2
Georgia land will produce potatoes

of this type and give very large yields.

- These potatoes not only provide one
of the best feeds for hogs in their raw
state, but they can be dehydrated and
ground into meal and provide the best
known substitute for corn In a_ beef
cattle ration.

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

Due to the fact that sweet potatoes
are in such great demand for human
consumption, it has not been possible to
develop the growing of sweet potatoes

as cattle feed to a very large extent.

The sweet potato and peanuts make

COTTON

We come now to the bedrock of -

Cotton is a crop
ef the

Georgia agriculture,
that has been the backbone
south for a hundred years or more. It

was the export of cotton that gave this

country a favorable trade balance for
generations. It was largely the ex-
port of cotton that made possible the

building of railroads, industrial plants,
and skyserappers, whieh has marked

the growth of this great nation.
God, in His goodness, has" made a

large part of the south a cotton coun-
try, just as He made Iowa a corn coun-
try. If the people of the south per-
mit themselves to be deluded and de-
frauded out of their inheritance as
: a cotton country, they indeed will have
given their birthright 1 a mess of
pottage.

COTTON AND THE LAND

Tt is a very general idea, larcey

the result of propaganda, that Georgia
soils were impoverished by the grow-
ing of cotton.

The growing of cotton
does not imporverish land if good farm-
ing practices are followed.

WHAT CAUSED GEORGIA
LAND TO BE POOR?

Georgia 1s biesiea by nature with

very diversified soil and climate. Geor-

gia land, in comparison with some sec-
tions of the country, was poor by na-
ture.

The soils of Georgia land were
formed by voleanie 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 car-
ried farther along by great floods.

Many minerals are found in the
souls in the valleys of North Georgia
which are not found either in the nied-
mont of 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
inter-sprinkling of pebbles. In some
places, there are large seetions with
clay and semi-clay sub- soil,

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

If the early farmer in Georgia ha
known and had followed better ero
rotation practices, the soil would still
have disappeared through | the ann
washing away and erosion into th
streams. | Z

It was the failure of farmers prior
to the War Between the States, dur
ing the war and just after the war,
prevent erosion that really caused th
depletion and impoverishment of Geor
gia lands.

COST OF PRODUCING |
| COTTON |

We are told that this country. can
not produce cotton as cheaply as Sou
Ameriea and some other: countries.

Of course, we know that we ean
not maintain our standard of living
above other nations and produce cot-
ton at the same price that oe can
product iH;

This, fea does not apply "6
cotton any more than it applies to an,
other commodity. S

If you apply that same line of rea
soning, we cannot produce corn because

it ean be produced cheaper somewher

else; we cannot produce beef because
it ean be produced cheaper in some
other lands. Under that same reason
ing, we could not manufacture cotton,
rayon, steel or any other industrial
commodity because labor is cheaper in
other countries and they could manu
facture | it cheaper than we could.

China could put in cotton and vay
ou mills and sell cotton. goods and ray-
on goods at one-third the price that ae
mills must get.

Russia could build steel mills, | man-
_ufacture railroad irons, automobiles, eS
radios, ete, and sell them to us for
one- third what the American produecr
must charge.

Because our fathers went to one ex-

our birthright. eg

_ EXCESS CITY POPULATION

This nation is top-heavy with cities.

The farm population has been permit--

_ ted to become too small for an endur-
ing nation. e
Georgia fortunately still has a pre-
_ ponderance of its people living on the
farms. The number of people living
on farms in Georgia should be. greatly
_ increased. a :
- _ History has unerringly demonstrat-
ed that no nation long survives when
its city population becomes greatly in
excess of its rural population.

> The incrase. in farm population
can be brought about through increas-

-erops which are not now paying money

produce a surplus but we
import surpluses.

A SELF-SUSTAINING
AGRICULTURE

* Making Georgia self-sustaining as
to food requires first, a diversified
agriculture.

The work of the Department of Ag-

-yiculture, under the law, in making
Georgia self-sustaining as to food, cen-
ters in the control work which is plac-
ed in the Department by the Legisla-
ture. oe
This plan contemplates a continual
enlargement and expansion of the work
cf disease control in animals and poul-
try; protecting farmers in the purchase
of pure seed; strict inspection and con-
trol of commercial fertilizer and insec-
ticides: strict enforcement of Food and
Feed Laws, and furnishing, through
the medium of the Market Bulletin,
ready information on the supply; prices
and location of plants, seeds, e228,
chickens, pigs.and other products which
each farm may need to buy in order to
make that farm self-sustaining. *

PROCESSING AND
PRESERVING PLANTS |

Tt is proposed to encourage the es-
tablishment of plants for the manufac-
ture of dairy by-products and to estab-
lish milk routes through the State that
will go from farm to farm and_ pick
up the surplus milk for these plants 1n
order that each farm family may have
plenty of fresh milk and butter and at

the same time have a ready cash mar-
ket for all surplus milk produced.

This ptan also proposes the estab-.
lishment of a butter, cheese and de--
hydrating plant for the manufacture of
butter, cheese and other milk by-prod-

vets in Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and
Columbus. It will be necessary for these
plants to be operated by business men
who are experienced in the manutfac- :
ture and sale of milk by-products. The
securing of these men and the. financ-
ing of such plants is a job for. the bus- -
iness men and bankers of the State. I
