: COMMISSIONER | WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1946 NUMBER a PARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Editorial by | by TOM L LINDER 1874, fie Gebeeia Dapartment of riculture was created. The purpose e Department is to foster, encour- x rom time to time, as the State has loped and as the problems of ag-_ wre have increased, the Legisla- as enacted additional laws to it possible for the Department of Iture to be of increasing aid to armers. he Commissioner of A oeiealtins is | ged by law, with disseminating in- tion of all kinds to the people in his judgment, is of interest to the people are furnished suffici- formation on all subjects, they position to determine for them- the best course of action to pur- th regard to their individual ie operations. e Commissioner of Agriculture is - only Agricultural | Official in the ite who is elected by the people. For | ; reason, the duty of furnishing in- mation affeetin g agriculture to mers was placed in the hands of the | mmissiorier of Agriculture. 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 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 (Continued on Pee oy Les _ | on the maiting list and for change Address ali items for publication and all requests to be put OF MARKETS. 222 STATE CAPITOL, Atlanta.

Yards for diversion. How- ever, when the car of peaches arrives on these yards, the Georgia farmer is still in Georgia... 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 produce merchants who will buy from farmers and sell to the northern and eastern markets. Augusta is the natural gateway for produce from a large area in Georgia He cannot follow his . - are inoculated with live Savannah, is also hie natural way out of southeast Georgia should have a large farmers mar developed to round out a full market- Ing system. 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 LIVESTOCK AUCTION = BARNS a The great need of many of these livestock auction barns is sanitation. | Sanitation cannot be had without properly constructed barns, pens an This a Pn the erection by, barns. _ It is proposed to construct the floors of these barns, pens and lots in such. manner that they can readily be wash- ed, cleaned and disinfected after each sale.

The pbuilding of such barns would not in any manner interfere with the individ- uals and companies who are now en- gaged in the operation. of livestock auction barns. _ | . It is proposed that such barns be rented to those individuals and com- panies who wish to carry on livestock auction sales and rented at such a fig- mre as will liquidate the cost of build- ing them, after which time, these barns would provide a continual source of income to the State from the rental = walue. | 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. | _ Georgias warehouses are operated by warehousemen from the Carolinas, who come to Georgia for a few weeks and sell the Georgia crop the Carolinas and Virginia. necessary redrying plants and tobacco storage warehouses in Georgia. . his plan proposes an increase in tent that Georgia shall produce not less than twenty-five per cent of the bright _flue-cured leaf of the nation. This will make Georgia a major fac- tor in the tobacco industry. It will have in North Carolina. It will re- lieve the necessity of the Georgia to- _ baeco grower rushing his tobacco from the field to the warehouse, regardless not the tobacco is ready for market.

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 2 it possible for Georgia hog growers to : compete with the corn belt. It is hop- | real dairy State. Not all. could be easily diverted to pr pastures through the use of hil] - without irrigation. Every expe would be prohibitive.

This is just an example of what could be done, not only with blueber- ries and scuppernongs, but with many other similar crops. At the end of -. twenty years this man will have a fine crop of pine timber on eignt acres and he will have two acres of as rich land as can be made in this part of the world. : oe 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. 1d 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, Down ae the. centuries, Moth- They - | rere the Volemnie viphaavst The sult was that Georgia soils were low soils in their first state when the white man came to America. These virgin soils, therefore, ed strict conservation and soil | ing methods even at the time oe landed at Toe _ son. That reason Was i. aa cheap | bor to do the backbreaking toil of cle ing the forest and farming the land. 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. ~The need for proper crop vobatt cover crops and for sound farm pr tices did not grow out of the produe tion of cotton. They were necess -vegardless of whether we grew cotton or did not grow cotton. - As a matter of fact, the peeacna of oe takes very little out of lan 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- treme and planted all cotton and per- mitted the soil. to wash away into the streams is no reason that we should go to the other extreme and renounce 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- ed and better markets for many farm -erops which are not now paying money crops in the States. _ With a rapid increase in all popu- lation in the United States, there is no danger of agriculture over-producing _ In the United States. - _, Of course, so long.as we have a Na- tional Policy of bringing in millions and millions of tons of butter, eggs, vegetables, we will always have im- ported surpluses to beat down the price of the American farmer.

It 1s 1mpos- sible to have a high American stand- ard of living either for agriculture or industry and at the same time lower our prices to meet the prices in world markets. = = a This is a national question and must be handle@ by our Congressmen and Senators in Washington. Nevertheless, it is on of the most vital questions affecting the people of Georgia and the South. 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 SZ "Wednesday know from my experience and with the bankers and businss the State that this end of the p. be put over. . ue The average Georgia farm i tential source of from five to tw five gallons of milk per day in tion to all farm needs, if only a: is provided for it at the same is proposed, as rapidly as pos establish adequate cold storag quick-freezing plants on the |.
