GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL
RAGRESS FROM 1940 - 1959







yield per acre has gone up from 11 bush-
els per acre in 1940, to 20 bushels in 1953.
Correspondingly the value of the crop
has increased nearly 200 per cent.

= TOBACCO
Tobacco ranks as one of our major
money crops and during this period the
acreage has increased from 73,100 in 1940,
to 104,100 in 1953: Likewise the total pro-
duction has increased 54,380,000 pounds.
The value of the erop is as follows:

gO a $12,458,000
Pees cae, . $50,669,000
B08 en $69,205,000

PEANUTS
According to official figures, the total
acreage planted has decreased to some
extent, but through the use of better seed,
better fertilization and other factors, the
per acre yield has increased, The cash
value of the crop is as follows:

WOBU a. oee es -. $19,193,000

BOIU eee 5 ce oe FS $69,257,000

MOOS aCe eee ey $57,352,000
SMALL GRAIN

~*

= The production of wheat, oats and
other small grain has likewise increased
considerably during this period due to
many factors. The present acre yield has
been stepped up and the value of the crop
has increased correspondingly.
LIVESTOCK aoe
The number of cattle and calves on
farms in Georgia has increased from 953,-
000 January 1, 1940, to 1,439; 3000 January

1, 1954,

The value of sales of livestock has in-
creased from $6,484,000 in 1940, to $35,-
354,000 in 1952,

The value of dairy products sold has

increased from $29,663,000 in 1940, to

_ $41,977,000 in 1952.

HOGS
Though the number of hogs on farms

_ of Georgia has not increased during this _

period, the average value per head has
increased from $5.60 in 1940, to $24.00 in
1953. This has been one of our good
sources of farm income, particularly in
certain sections of the State as the rec-
ords show this income as follows:

Ma $ 7,951,000
OR eS $43,896,000
ee $52,559,000

BROILERS
- The commercial broiler industry of
Georgia, began about 1935 when our
farmers received about $230,000 for one

half million broilers. This industry has
grown rapidly, but on a substantial basis





to the point that it now ranks second t
cotton in total cash income. The recor |
speaks for itself:

Through the efforts of various agen-
cies, including the Department of Agri-
culture making available facilities at
State Farmers Markets, the commercial
egg industry has increased from $4,950,-
000 in 1940, to $25,606;000 in 1953. :

FARMERS MARKETS
The first market was established in

_ Atlanta on leased property in 1935. Ad-

ditional markets were established at
other points and by 1940, seven markets
were in operation which have increased -
to 24 markets in 1953.

The record of sales on these markets
is phenomenal. These markets, particular-
ly Atlanta, serves the nation as fruit and
produce is received from about 44 states
in the Union and several foreign coun-
tries. The sales are as follows:

CONSERVATION OF NATURAL
* RESOURCES
There is nothing more important than
to conserve our natural resources which
is building for the future. Many good
years have been wasted in protecting our

forests from the ravages of fire, and we

have been very negligent in not replant-
ing those acres that were once in vrigin
forests. The same is true_of conserving our
soil and it was not until a few. years ago
that either the Government or the State
took recognition of our vast depleted soils.
SOIL CONSERVAVTION

By an Act of the Legislature approved
February 1949, the State Commissioner
of Agriculture became an ex officio mem-
ber of the State Soil Conservation Com-
mittee to act in an advisory capacity. The
State Committee, under the leadership
of Jim L. Gillis, Jr., of Soperton, Georgia,
was. reorganized in March 1949, and your

Commissioner was invited to attend the

first regular meeting.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to
attend all of the monthly meetings of the
State Committee, but have had a repres-
