VOLUME 32 PORT DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE | For The Biennium July 1, 1946=June 30, 1948 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1949 cee NUMBER 19 4 | OF THE | To His Excellency, Herman Talmadge, Governor of Georgia and Members of the Senate and House of Representatives. I am privileged herewith to submit a prelimin- ary report on the operations, work and expansion of the State Department of Agriculture. In this report I have endeavored not only to tell the story of the routine work of the Department, as well as its program and development to date, but have also undertaken to outline and visualize the fur- ther expansion of the work of*the Department with an ultimate aim of making Georgia second to none in agricultural development of the South- east. Agriculture is the foundation of business and . The Georgia Department of Agriculture . created in 1874 for the purpose of fostering, encouraging and aiding the agri- _ @ulture of the State. As the State has devel- oped and the problems of agriculture in- ereased, the State Legislature has enacted additional laws to make it possible for the Department to be of increasing aid to Georgia farmers. -. The Commissioner of Agriculture is charged by law with disseminating informa- _ tion of all kinds which in his judgment is of _ interest and value to the farmers. It is our belief that if the people are furnished suf- Profitable farming always depends in its final analysis on profitable marketing. The Legislature recognized this vital fact and enacted laws charging the Commissioner of Agriculture with the duty ci developing STATE ~.In 1935, the Legislature passed an Act authorizing the construction and operation of Farmers Markets, but no funds were ap- -propriated to defray the expense. It was obvious, however, that due to the rapid de- velopment of the fruit and vegetable indus-. ry, which was beginning to become a sub- ial factor in Georgia agriculture, that gan operation. ficient information on various subjects they can determine for themselves the best course of action to pursue with regard to their individual farming operations. The Commissioner, being elected directly by the people, feels a keen responsibility in seeing that the farmers have access to the latest available information regarding their many farm problems and on the other hand, he realizes they must be protected in the various fields of service that come under our regulatory activities. My of the Legislatures purpose in creating the marketing facilities and a market system for the farmers of the State. In 1917, the Legislature created the Bu- reau of Markets which functioned as effici- FARMERS MARKETS marketing facilities had to be provided.

Of Georgias populationsof more thard three million, approximately two million of ou} people live on the farm. Therefore, it is obviou-# that agriculture, which employs two-thirds of ou, population, is the foundation of all business an industry within the State. ia . For the past several years, the importance o,f the service rendered by the Department has bee! greatly expanded and improved. A more specifi=4 account of past achievements and proposed in= creased activities are outlined briefly in the fol- lowing pages: Respectfully submitted TOM LINDER Commissioner of Agriculture CREATION AND DUTIES OF THE DEPARTMENT 0 AGRICULTURE Department of Agriculture is that it if visioned four main purposes to be attained, 1. To create as large cash income fron the farm as it is practical for us to attain. | 2. To make Georgia agriculture as near self-sustaining as possible. 3.

During the early part of 1941, the present Market was con- tructed in Atlanta. This is the largest market of its kind in the United States and probably the world. The total sales on the Atlanta Market from May 10, 1941, through December 31, 1947; amounts to $122,731,- $31,967,188.98 At the present time there are eleven THE In previous biennial reports we have call- \ ed attention to the creation of the Market Bulletin by an Act of the legislature in 1917. Under the provisions of an act of Congress, is given second class mailing is paid for by the farmers of orgia out of inspection fees on commercial fertilizer. The purpose of the bulletin is to facilitate the dissemination of essential information to farmers and at the same time, there is listed in its columns weekly an average of 400 to .506 notices of Georgia farmers produce and | farm implements. This means that in the course of a year some 20 to 25 thousand notices are printed. The bulletin goes into every s.ate in the Union and to several fore- ign countries. We are at the present time printing approximately 250 thousand copies weekly. At commercial advertising rates, these Rovices alone would run in the neighborhood ef fruits and vegetables and other foods be- came more important than ever before. Con- servation was second to production and be- cause of the urgent need not only to feed but in addition sparing some for our friends Overseas, every agency of the government, both federal and_ state, devoted consider- able effor. towards this program. : It became so acute that people in urban communities were urged to put up at least a part of their own winter supply of canned foods. The Depariment of Agriculture: rec- bretected the seriousness of this situation and re ted canning plants at three State Mar- ketsAtlania, Macon and Thomasville.

The records reveal that through November 1948 the sales for eleven months through these eleven markets amounted to $40,152,434.14. New markets are being planned, con- structed or under construction at Nashville, Quitman, Rome Wrightsville, Blackshear, and Athens. Plans for further development of markets for Georgia produce are under consideration for Augusta, Columbus and Savannah.

For a number of years there has been made available to the farmers factual information that would not be made avail- able to them through any other source. It is the one means through which vhe Commissioner of Agriculture can adequately inform the farmers as to the many problems affecting agwiculture. In addition to the current information concerning agricultural problems, we endeavor to keep them in- formed as to other important problems, which in many respects have a direct bear- ing on agriculture. This bulletin has grown consistently since its creation in 1917 and its usefulness and importance is increasing constantly. We have from time to time endeavored to tabulate the actual dollar value of farm CANNING PLANTS a During the war period, the conservation rural section of the State have been splen- didly developed by other agricultural agen- cies, especially so under the able leadership of Hon.- Walter Brawn and the County Agents, and under Hon M. D. Mobley and T. G. Walters, the Vocational Educational Division of the Department of Education. The impetus given this food conservation program during this war period has contin- ued through the past biennium and the can- ning program at our state Markets has been accelerated to the point that additional fa- cilities have been added to meet the demands. An entire new canning plant has been built at the Atlanta Market, which is modern in every respect. The demand for its facili- ties is constantly increasing as these plants provide not only an opportunity for city peo- ple to can fresh fruits and vegetables from protected. The record shows that during the biennium 43,712 scales were inspected. 3,066 scales in grocery stores and markets were short weighing the consumers whose loss, if continued for two years, is estimated at approximately $2,000,000.00. On the stores and markets giving over-weight, which meant a considerable loss to the mer- chant. The record reveals that of the larger scales on which the farmers and other in- terested parties produce in wagon or truck loads were weighed, there would have been a loss of $367,787.00 to all parties concern- ed during the two-year period. It is therefore evident that without this service thousands of dollars would have been lost to the farm- ers of Georgia as wel] as the scale owners PURE SEED Under the provisions of this act, the Com- missioner of Agriculture is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations governing the adminstration of the act. The new law was put into effect in the early spring of p toe and in the meantime, one of the mest | produce sold through its columns which was other hand we found 581 scales in grocery w eanesday, January 12, 194! and vegetables te Northern ae Eastern co suming centers. In planning for a long-term developme of Georgia agriculture, we are ever mindfui of the fact that adequate marketing facili- ties are necessary. During 1947 produce from 44 states and 4 foreign countries re resenting 24,274 carloads, through the Atlanta market compared wi 23,373 carlots in 1946 and 19,547 in 1945. | These markets are constructed and main- tained for the purpose of helping producers obtain the highest dollar value for crops produced, and to bring adequate supplies to city consumers. / produce sold through its columns. Some twenty years ago rather accurate figures were obtained as to the actual amount of approximately $3,500,000.00. This was be- fore the circulation reached anything like its present figure and based on the number of copies printed and the number of ads run, in its columns, todays figures would prob- ably be multiplied several times. The Market Bulletin is certainly one of the major factors in our marketing program, as it offers mar- keting facilities to vast numbers of farmers who only have a small amount of produce to offer. They could not afford to use com- mercial advertising and many do not have sufficient quantities or live at too great dis. tances to use the facilities of State Markets. The usefulness of this publication will continue to increase, thereby enabling buy- ers throughout the country to buy Georgia produce. : their own gardens and orchards, but being located on the market where there is always . an abundant supply of fresh fruits and vege- tables during the season that the housewife can purchase and process on one visit to the market. 4 These canneries likewise offer the farmers additional sales outlets for the products | they bring to the market. The proper opera: tion necessitates the employment of experi- enced personnel, and each cannery is super= vised by a manager of long years of experi- ence. Additional skilled assistance is given the housewife in the preparation of fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. These canneries have made a distinct contribution to the at home program by making available not only expert assistance, but the use of the most modern canning equipment.

Our equipment is in keeping with the United States standards. Our regulations and methods of inspection are uniform with those of other states and we feel that our service in this respect compares favorably with that of other states. Therefore, we can- not over-estimate or over-emphasize the im- portance of this work. Not only the interest of the farmer, scale owseer and merchant is protected but, the welfare of every person who buys or sells; from the housewife, who. buys a pound of sugar, to the farmer who_ sells a truck lead of cattle. modern seed laboratories ed statement in regard to the laboratory will be found elsewhere.

As far as aussie: we have trained our personnel in order to give the best service possible in the administration of this law. The following tabulation covering the work of the biennium is self explanatory: Hispections of seeds; _,___- > ae Withholds from sale or use issued | | 4 2,890 _ FOODS AND FEEDS | : _ This is one of the most important phases of our regulatory activities. These laws en- acted by the General Assembly have for their purpose the protection of foods for the individual and feeds for livestock. The very existence of three of our major farm enterprisespoultry, dairying and livestock depend largely on the quality of feed that is permitted to be sold in Georgia. These phases of our diversified agricultural program are probably developing faster than any other. COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS For many years this Department has been charged with the responsibility of adminis- tering the Fertilizer and Insecticide Laws. It is physically impossible for a consumer of - eommercial fertilizer or fertilizer material to determine its plant food value by either sight, taste or smell. Therefore, in order to determine its value, samples must be col- lected and sent to the State Chemist for _ analysis. The law provides that every manufactur- er or distributor of fertilizer or fertilizer materials must first register his product with the State Department of Agriculture _ Our jaboratory is charged with the re- _ sponsibility of making analysis of fertilizers, feeds, Insecticides, seeds, dairy products, _ foods and drugs-as has been previously men- tioned in connection with the administration - of these laws. Final action is not taken until an official analysis- has been made in the case of feeds, foods, fertilizer, etc., and the purity and germination test is made in re- a to seeds. LIVESTOCK PRODUCTS AND LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY DISEASES -_ The administration of a number of our most important regulartory activities is the direct responsibility of our Veterinary Di- vision. This work is so important to the live- stock and poultry development of our State that its value cannot be over emphasized. Be- : cause of its importance, highly trained per- sonnel must be employed.. _ All of the dairy and creamery work such as inspection and licensing of Ice Cream -Manufacturing Plants, Dairy Manufactur-- ing Plants, the issuance of Cream Testers _ Licenses, Cream Buying Station Licenses and many other phases come under this en. oe It is the responsibility of this Department to make inspections to the end that produc- ers shall be paid for milk delivered to the processing plants on the correct butterfat basis and that the consumer of dairy prod- ucts such as milk, ice cream, etc., receives the butterfat content required under the law. ee The records reveal that livestock and live- stock products represented 30.1 per cent of oS total pate income from Georgia agricul- 8,189, ~ PURE SEED Samples taken to be analyzed ____ 8,826 Number of pounds withheld ____3,822,637 Number of pounds of seed converted to POC acre re cra ee Se ee LVL; 245 Number of pounds of seed destroyed, unfit FOP SURC) eee eae ter aie $5758;122 Number of pounds of seed released 359,860 Number of plants destroyed, unfit for plant- ING ee as ee TRS 4,013,800 Number of packages of vegetable seed with- Gh ete eee ae eer oe 1,734,486 The record shows that some 3000 more The marketing of eggs is becoming more important in view of the fact that_we are gradually developing a considerable indus- try within our own State. Much could be said of the foods that come under the pro- visions of the various laws administered by this Department, but space will not permit a detailed statement. Therefore, we can only give a few high points of the work done for the past two years. During the period, 5,368,- 000 pounds of commercial feed was with- held from sale, 30,000 dozen of eggs, 129,- 000 pounds of flour, 25,000 pounds of poultry before it can be offered for sale to consum- ers. During the Biennium, 2,475 brands of mixed and complete fertilizers and fertilizer materials were registered with this Depart- ment. In order to collect these samples, an ade- quate field force must be maintained whose duties are not only te determine whether the product is properly registered, but to see whether it is tagged in accordance with the registration and inspection laws, and also to draw samples for analyses. During this period, 19,323 official samples were taken. The Chemical analyses reveal that 880 of When inspectors take samples of tood they must be analyzed by the Chemist in order to determine whether it is fit for human consumption, adulterated or misbranded. Milk samples must be run to determine the bacteria and butter fat content. The laboratory is operating progressively and economically and-is giving essential service of a high type. Control] and interpre- With the splendid record that has been made by this Department in disease eradi- cation and control] during the past few years, we feel that the livestock farmer is in better position than ever before to make a success. These diseases, require serious considera- tion: Brucellosis "Tuberculosis Anaplasmosis X-disease or Hyperkeratosis And a few major horse and swine diseases, particularly hog cholera and para- sites. Due to the tremendous growth of our poultry industry, poultry diseases are of paramount importance, particularly New- castle, Pullorum, and Coccidiosis, Phenom- enal developments have been made during the Biennium in our poultry disease control program. The laws of the State of Georgia require that all out-of-State meat packers report to this Department all shipments into the State.. 4 During the period considerable expansion (Continued From Page Two) inspections were made during this biennium than was made in the previous two years and also that 114 million more pounds of seed were found to be unfit for planting pur- poses and withheld from sale than during th previous period. i We are taking a realistic view of the ad- ministration of the Georgia Seed Law, real- izing the tremendous responsibility that we have to our Georgia farmers, and that it is a foregone conclusion, profitable crops can- } not be produced with poor or inferior seed t z as well as quantities of several other food In addition to withholding a number of | these items from sale, 56,000 pounds of feed was destroyed as it was found to be unfit for feeding to livestock. We also destroyed 157,- 000 pounds of beans, 200,000 pounds of cab- bage, 100,000 pounds of tomatoes and 2 number of other foods as they were found to be unfit for human consumption. We realize the tremendous responsibility we owe the buying public in the proper and impartial ad- ministration of the food and feed laws. these samples were found subject to penalty. In accordance with the Fertilizer Law, penalties were assessed against the manu- } facturer and collected for the farmers. } The law further provides that dealers must be lieensed and accordingly, 1,039 Dealers Licenses have been issued during this period. This Department is also charged with the responsibility of administering the Insecti- cide Law. During this period, 224 official samples were taken and analyzed by the State Chemist. CHEMICAL LABORATORY tations of various items in our regulatory _ work is subject to laboratory determination. \ The record reveals that during the per iod 1946-July 1, 1948, 27,533 official sam- | ples of fertilizer were analyzed. During the years 1946 and 1947, 11,222 official samples of dairy products, foods; feeds and seeds were analyzed and 625 samples of drugs, Insecticides, ete. has been made in locally owned and oper ated slaughter houses, abattoirs and freezer, locker plants, which is of paramount ime portance in view of the rapid development of the livestock industry. The records reveal there were 505,000 hogs, cattle and calves slaughtered in locally owned and controlled slaughter houses during the biennium. The Department is fortunate in having one of the best equipped Veterinary Patho- logical Laboratories of its kind in the country. It has been equipped with the most modern equipment and staffed by very competent personnel and has done a commendable job in rendering service to the livestock and poultry industry of Georgia. To augment our poultry disease work, a branch laboratory was established in Gaines- ville April 1947. With these facilities and properly trained personnel, this phase of ou work is tremendously important in the d velopment of a substantial livestock af poultry industry in Georgia. Official figures show that during the year 1947 a cash in- vome to Georgia joea de of $157,176,000.00 4 was realized.
