, T. om Linder Camis loner WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 14, 1931 NUMBER 16 Editorial By TOM LINDER mn eleven years, July 1940 through ne 1951, the Department of Agricul- Mire collected in fees. rents from Farm- Markets, etc., $7,312,988.97. Juring the same eleven years, total t for operation of all branches of the tment, including printing and ing the Market Bulletin, $7,126- 4. Net balance to State Treasury above erating cost $186,052.83. During the ne period there was spent for the erec- nm of physical facilities, buildings and a nds for State Farmers Markets $2,- $310,811.49. This money, of course, came the State Treasury. It was all spent market construction and none of it s used for operating expenses. During the eleven years, $1,320,879.85 s spent for the operation of Farmers rkets in the State. $1,439,556.31 was spent in carrying t the duties of the Veterinary Division. Wi This $1,439,556.31 for eleven years in reorgia, compares with $1,300,000.00 for ne year to the Livestock Board in Flori- 4ida. The records show we have done a ii better job in Georgia than has been done an Florida. The records show that Geor- }gia now stands the fourth state from the op in Brucellosis Control and the in- Stance of Tuberculosis is far below the 1 Jational average. The percentage of in- ection in Georgia is lower than any oth- ir Southeastern State except North Caro- jidina, where a great deal more money has been spent than in Georgia. We are yroud of this record, a have been steadily decreasing, This throws additional duties on the State De- partment of Agriculture. | We are now carrying on a state-wide a4 Brucellosis and T. B. Eradication and | Control Program. We have approxi- Mnately fifteen hundred contracts signed by herd owners in 159 counties, and bout 80 Veterinarians signed up to do his work to test herds, to eliminate re- ctors, to vaccinate calves -and adults when indicated and to maintain disease- ree herds in every case possible. _ Under this system, the herd owner can Blect one of three plans to follow accord- ng to the condition of his herd and the ing of his County. This work is be- DEPARTMENT )F AGRICULTURE ing carried on just as fast ag funds are available. The Bureau of Animal Industry is do- ing a splendid job with the limited funds and personnel that they have. They have eight Veterinarians in the State and are doing all they can. Unfortunately, their funds for the work has been reduced this year to $84,000.00. They work under a cooperative_agreement with the State Department of Agriculture, and we cer- tainly appreciate their fine work and cooperation. : : In addition to all the regular work of the Department, we have established a Poultry Disease Control Laboratory, which we maintain at Gainesville, in co- operation with Hall County and _ the Poultry Improvement Association. The Department of Agriculture contributes $30,000.00 per year for the maintenance and operation of this laboratory. We have a cooperative agreement with the Coastal Plain Experiment Station whereby we maintain and operate a Livestock Disease Control Laboratory at Tifton, Georgia. The Department of Ag- riculture contributes $10,000.00 per year to this work. " Under the law it is the duty of the Commissioner of Agriculture to, encour- age the production of a wholesome sup- ply of milk and dairy products. This in- volves the inspection of the dairy herds, the dairy barns ahd receiving stations, i NOT TOO BAD WHEN YOU OUT'GUESS 10,000 On Friday, November 2, I dictated an article which appeared in the Mar- ket Bulletin under date of November 7, in which I stated that the final fig- ures on the cotton crop this year would be between 15 and 16-million bales and gave my reasons for this opinion, not- withstanding the fact that the Govern- ment and the cotton trade has been claiming a crop of from 17 to 17'2 million bales. ; On Thursday, November 8, the Gov- ernments November estimate of the cotton crop came out and was 15,777,- 000 bales. Maybe the crystal ball is floating around again. I understand they have 10,000 crop reporters. Not too bad when you out guess 10,000 re- porters. The final ginning will prob- ably show nearer 15-million. the milk plants and manufacturing plants. It also involves the control of powdered milk, condensed skim and cream so as to prevent the reconstruction. of milk and to prevent the selling of fluid milk of anything except Grade A. It also involves the control of these products moving across the State line, and requires the Commissioner of Agri- culture to put harmless coloring matter in these products that are being sold in | violation of the law. The Commissioner of Agriculture has no authority and no connection with the price of milk or dairy products. All these duties come under the Milk Control Board. The Milk Control Board is an en- tirely different set-up. It is created by the Legislature and its members and di- rectors are appointed by the Governor. -One of the great drawbacks to the de- velopment of a supply of wholesome milk has been the treatment farmers have received with regard to so-called. surplus milk, in most cases, the Milk Control Board has permitted the distribu- tors to pay farmers for surplus milk with- out regard to whether there was a real surplus in the State or in the shed. There should never be a surplus price paid to a farmer for Grade A milk so long as that milk is needed for bottling pur- poses anywhere in the State. It is my purpose as soon as enough money can be found and the Federal Government will make materials avail- able to build a Reserve Pilot Milk Plant. This plant will serve to furnish an all- year market for any surplus Grade A milk, and will at the same time set-up standards for all dairy products that will protect the consuming public as well as the producer and distributors in the State from low grade products having to be used in ice cream, bakeries, etc. On the fourth page of this issue you will find a brief summary of the Depart- ment of Agriculture submitted by Miss Jackie Skinner, student at the Atlanta Division, University of Georgia, which is-very good. I hope you will read it. From time to time, I will write addi- tional articles on the activities of the dit- . ferent divisions of the Department of Agriculture.

Since then, by Constitutional Amendment, it has been made a Constitutional Department and the Commis- sioner of Agriculture, elected by the people, is a Constitutional Official. Agriculture, being the mudsill of our state, as well as National Economy, requires a great deal of public recognition. The Department _ of Agriculture, as the agency through which the State acts in its relations to agriculture, is necessarily a most important Department. The activities of the State Department of Agriculture are many and varied. A study of this Depariment is most interesting and edu- cational, not only as to the Department it- self, but as to the many fields in which it operates. The food which we eatwhether -fresh, cured or processedmust be inspected by the Department of Agriculture and the animals from which come our dairy products and meat supplies must be insured as to health through the activities of the Department of (Agricul- ture. The Legislature. realizing that the wel- fare of all the people, both producers and con- Sumers, are dependent upon the welfare of agriculture and on the production of ample supplies of food and fibre and on the safe- guarding of the consuming public as to the healthfulness of these foods as well as in hav- ing honest weights and measures in buying foods, has provided activities in the Depart- ment of Agriculture to take care of all these many branches. FERTILIZER Since the production of all crops depends upon the proper fertilization and since a large part of Georgia crops are produced with com- mercial fertilizers, the Legislature created the Fertilizer Division. The duties of the Fertilizer Division is to see that all commercial fertilizer . and fertilizer materials offered for sale in the State are of approved quality and are deliver- ed to the farmer in such approved fashion as. to guarantee their chemical analysis, their physical fitness, their appropriateness for each crop and honest weights on the part of the seller. To this end, there is a chemical laboratory in which are analyzed samples, many thou- sand samples, of fertilizer and fertilizer mate- tials each year. These samples are drawn by state inspectors from farmers and warehouses throughout the state. Any farmer whose fer- tilizer falls more than the tolerance allowed by Law receives a penalty from the manufac- turer, which penalty is collected by the Com- missioner of Agriculture. DEPARTMENT SEED ' After fertilizer, the next requisite is good seed. For this reason the Legislature has created within the Department a Pure Seed Division, whose duties and activities consist of sampling and analyzing seed offered for sale within the State and also see that all seed sold are properly labeled as to germination, purity, etc. Many thousand samples of seed are sampled each year and all seed found in non- compliance with the requirements of the Law are withheld from sale. WEIGHTS & MEASURES In order to insure honest weights and measures in transactions, the Department of Agriculture maintains a Weights and Measures Division with inspeciors and trucks covering the state and testing scales on which merchan- dise is sold, whether such scales be small, medium or large. The scales inspected range in size and capacity from the smallest scales on the grocerymans counter to the largest truck and railroad cars. 5 INSECTICIDES The farmer having applied fertilizer and planted seed, the growing crops, in a great many cases, become subject to insects of various kinds. To cope -with. these insect pests, it is necessary that the farmer be assur- ed that his insecticides, when purchased, are of such quality as to be effective in the de- struction of insect pests. Therefore, the De- partment of Agriculture regulates the label- ing of insecticides and fungicides, takes samples of those sold in the State, analyzes ' these samples in the chemical laboratory and withholds from sale and denies registration to those which are found unsatisfactory. It is also the duty of the Department of Agriculture to test cattle for diseases of all kinds, to en- force quarantine and to require vaccination and inoculation in cases where practices of good husbandry indicates the need. This ac- tivity of the Department of Agriculture in- sures a supply of milk from healthy cows and the supply of meat and pousey from healthy herds and flocks. FEED In the production of livestock and poultry, in addition to disease control, there is a press- ing need for the inspection and analysis of commercial feeds and feedingstuffs. For this reason ingpectors from the Department of Agriculture take samples of all feed sold and chemical analyses are made of these feeds and Agriculture has erected 29 far -in the State, the largest of wh all feed not meeting the reqi i law are withheld from sale -. = FOOD. The field of food for huma the most essential of all agrict Under modern conditions foo under many guises and condition possible for the housewife or i most cases, to know anything ty of the food they buy or the k the food, what harmful pres may contain and what nutritio: may have lost in the handling or animals to the family table.
