Loss of Egg Quality
Costs Producers $$

The United States Deparivient of Ag-
riculture has recently released figures
which reveal that failure to maintain egg
quality is costing the poultry industry in
excess of $470 million each year.

Through neglect, failure to provide
proper egg storage and refrigeration, eggs
begin to lose their quality immediately
after they are laid. Unless proper storage
facilities and refrigeration are provided

they will lose their quality very rapidly.

HOGS UNDERESTIMATED?

They Still Play Big
Part In Farm Income

(Editors Note: This is the first ot

several articles on swine production it
Georgia.)

Are hogs the Lost sheep of our Geor
gia livestock industry.

Although a large number of hogs are

still produced ane marketed in Georgia,
the spotlight of recognition has been fo:
cused so strongly on some of the othet
types of livestock it would appear that
hogs may be on the road to oblivion.

: Certainly the importance of swine ta ;
the Georgia farmer in the past, in the

present and in the future, can not be un-
derestimated. The hog is still the mort-
gage lifter for hundreds of Georgia
farm families and will continue to be for
many years to come.

In 1955 hogs brought Georgia farmera
some $41,879,000 which was a somewhat
low figure because of the price situa-
tion during that year. The year before, in
1954, hogs put nearly $60,000,000 ints
Georgia farmers pockets as compared
with only $28 million for cattle and $42
million for dairy products.

The importance of hogs to Georgia
farmers should not be underestimated
nor should this importance be simply
tolerated with no effort to improve the
picture for swine production in Georgia.

While a great deal of research has
been done during the past few years on
cattle, sheep and poultry production in
Georgia, it would appear that research
programs in the field of swine production
may have suffered.

We have, in general, recognized the
fact that in order to compete against
other livestock products we are going to
have to put out a more lean type hog car-
rying less fat and thus less waste. But
simple recognition of this all important
fact is not going to produce better hogs.

We need to do a better job of practic-
ing what we have been preaching and we
need to expand our research programs on
swine to back up our farmers who are

Notice To
Sweet Potato Growers

The Georgia Department of Entomology reports
that large quantities of non-certified sweetpotato plants
are being offered for sale in this state, most of which
are coming from other states.

At the present time, sweetpotato production in this
state is being seriously threatened by a number of: in-
sects and diseases of sweetpotatoes.

For these reasons, buyers of sweetpotato plants are
warned to buy only state inspected and certified plants.
Georgia certified plants are tied with red sweetpotato
plant tape showing the growers code number and the
Certified Sweetpotato Plants

Plants grown out-of-state tied with state-of-origin
tape of the current years issue may also be sold in

The sale of non-certified plants is in violation of
this states sweetpotato plant regulations. Buy only
