Tom Linder Commissioner LUME 37 Editorial By TOM LINDER American agriculture naturally had beginning in the original thirteen colonies. These became the original thirteen states. : The peuple of the colonies had no food,except what they grew. They were fo this reason very much interested in inding out how to produce the best food ops and more of them. _ Also, the colonists were interested in oducing crops they could send back England in exchange for industrial ds such as clothing, utensils, etc. For is reason they began to grow cotton ad tobacco. AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES Long before anyone thought of agri- cultural colleges and experiment stations, more progressive citizens formed agricul- tural societies. They held regular meet- gs and exchanged ideas as well as gave h other the benefit of experiments onducted on their individual farms. It is amazing to read some of the esults obtained by early farmers with home grown fertilizers and with their own contrivances for planting and culti- _vating their crops. - As the country grew and the first ties began to develop, it became more nd more importunt to increase the yield from the land. This need brought about a the creation of state departments of agri- the benefit of all the people. _ PRODUCERS. AND CONSUMERS _ The Geergia State Department of Agri- ulture was created not only to serve the best interest of farmers, but equally to erve the best interest of the people who : had to depend upon buying their food. It was also essential to encourage farmers to groduce raw materials, especially cotton, ut of which clothing and other essential items could be made. Bee 1874 - In 1874 the Georgia Legislature pass- sd an act creating a Department of Agri- ulture for the State of Georgia. The gislature set up two broad duties for the Department of Agriculture, each of these duties being broken down into many branches. _ The Department of Agriculture is charged with fostering and encouraging irmers in the production of crops and ea ee aX ulture to be financed by the state and for | stock. It is also charged with the. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1952 eorgia Department Of Agriculture duty of seeing that perishable food prod- ucts reach the consuming public in whole- some condition. The broad purpose of the Legislature in creating the Department of Agricul- ture was to insure adequate supplies of home grown food and fiber. and thus to ereate a prosperous agricultural popula- tion, and at the same time. insure the town and city people of adequate supplies at as reasonable cost as is consistent with existing economic conditions. EARLY LEGISLATION During the first decades of the existence of the Georgia Department of Agriculture, the Legislature passed a number of acts giving broad duties to the Commissioner of Agriculture. Much of this legislation is in general terms and serves more to outline the needs of the State in agriculture and the purposes of the Legislature in creating the Depart- ment, than to give definite authority fo perform specific duties. LATER LEGISLATION As the years went by and Georgia developed greater agriculture and great- er cities, the Legislature deemed it necessary to enact more. specific laws to make possible the carrying out of the over-all purposes previously incorporated in legislative acts. In order to assure more profitable production, legislation has been enactd providing for registration and inspection of all commercial fertilizers because the production of crops in Georgia has been closely associated with the use of addi- tional plant foods which must come from the fertilizer manufacturers and dealers. Next to fertilizer and other plant food, the planting of sound seed of desirable varieties is necessary. For this reason the Legislature enacted our seed laws for the inspection of planting seed of all kinds and for the elimination of foreign aoxious weed and~grass_ seed. Still later it became desirable and necessary to enact laws for the registration and inspection of insecticides and fungi- cides, because the coming of insect pests and fungus brought additional- hazards to the farmers and thereby endangered the source of supply of food for the city dwellers. Since the barter, exchange and sale of commodities of all kinds was carried on under a system of weights and measures, it was essential for the state to see that NUMBER 14 weights and measures were true and that honest weights and measures were used in carrying on business. For this reason the Legislature enacted our weights and measures bill, putting this duty in the Department of Agriculture. : LIVESTOCK Since early days in Georgia the records reveal that the raising of live- stock has been an essential part ef agriculture The control and eradication of livestock disease is of utmost impor- tance, both to the farmers who produce livestock and to the city dwellers who need wholesome disease-free milk and other dairy products. Accordingly the Legislature has passed a number of bills _for the control and eradication of -livee stock diseases and for the testing of dairy and other herds for contagious and in- fectious diseases, and for the inspection of dairies and dairy products and dairy distributing plants, All of these are the responsibidity of the Department of Agriculture. As our cities and industries increased and as more and more of our food was handled through processing plants, through grocery stores, meat mar- kets, hotels and restaurants, it became eS sential to the protection of th health of the general public to institute a broad system of food inspections. This duty was placed:in the Department of Agriculture, CHEMISTRY Since the proper inspection and analysis of foods of all kinds, feed for livestock, insecticides, fungicides, drinks and dairy products, commercial fertilizer, etc. require the skill of chemists, the State chemistry laboratory was set up and oprates under the Commissioner of Agriculture. It was also necessary to set up a veterinary laboratory for the control and eradication of livestock disease. In recent years in cooperation with the commissioners of Hall County and the Georgia Poultry Improvement Associa= tion we have set up a poultry laboratory at Gainesville, Georgia, for the control of poultry diseases. For the convenience of livestock owners in South Georgia and in cooperation with the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station we have set up a livestock disease laboratory at Tifton, Georgia.. Just as inspection of food for human consumption is carried on, the State like (Continued on page Four) NY | GEORGIA MARKET BULLETIN * PAGE TWO 5) fe MARKET BULLETIN + Address all items for publication and all requests to be put on the mailing list and for change of address to STATE BU- REAU OF M REETS, 222 STATE CAPITOL, Atlanta.

The other half is marketing and distribution. Accord- ingly, in 1935 the Legislature provided for a system of state farmers markets in addition to the bureau of markets which had previously been authorized. Under that authority we have built a system of markets pretty generally over the State. In 1944 the Commissioner of Agriculture in a biennial report set out a 10-year program for the development of these markets. The main items set out in that 10-year program were the con- struction of markets, at Rome, Columbus, Hog Prices Georgia Departme Agriculture > Augusta and Savannah, with a large transfer market at or near Washington, D. C. We now have markets operating at Rome, Columbus and Augusta and have recently let contract for the building of a large market at Savannah. In addition to the building of these four city markets, we have built numerous producers markets all the way from Rabun Gap to the Florida line. We have also made tremendous enlarge- ments and improvements on many of the markets over the- State. These markets still have need of many improvements in the way of added space for farmers and buyers, cooling facilities, cold storage, grading and pack- ing facilities, and more ready means of communication. All of these are being Paid At Various Market Producers Cooperative Livestock Exchange, : will permit. : and will be provided as rapidl The Commissioner of Agri an elected constitutional offic state and is elected each four the people of the entire state.
