FARM TAX EXEMPTION
WILL NOT REDUCE THE
STATE SCHOOL FUNDS

Enactment of the proposed state
tax exemption amendment, as applied
to farms of not more than 100 acres,
won't reduce legislative appropria-
tions for colleges and other institu-
lions, according to Ivan Allen, author
of the idea and chairman of the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce commit
tee which is pushing it. Its opera
ton will be entirely painless" for its
effects will be gradual,
eff the amendment is adopted by
the coming Legislature it would have
to go to the people and be voted on.
If passed, it would have to go back to
the legislature at the netx session,
and it could not take effect before
1929
"When the exemption becomes a
law its effect will even then be grad
ual, as farm lands are sold off by
large owners and when in the hands
of small farmers become exempt.
"The entire atste tax on Georgia
farms and wild lands amounts to only
S1,3O0,0OO. Wild lands, which will
not be exempted, comprise about half
that, so even if the entire farm acre
age of Georgia were to be exempted,
the states loss would amour to only
100000.
"But in the meantime, the states
income from all sources is increas-
ing at the rate of two to three mil
lion dollars a year. 1t has doubled
in the last ten years, and it is appar-
ent that if this increase continues,
as it will with the steady growth of
industrial enterprises, the loss of
state taxes on farms would not be
felt"
Mr.. Allen continues to receive num-
erous letters of commentator on the
tax exemption plan. A booklet has
been compiled covering every phase
of the subject, which will be sent out
in large numbers throughout the
state.

capital, from the center of commerce
and trade, from the center of higher
learning in the state, the good coun-
ty Of Decatur has set the pace by es-
tablishing one of these modern, high
grade nine months consolidated
schools in every little militia district
of that county"
Decatur county also has well or
ganized and wide awake teachers as
ISOLATION, that meets monthly and
discusses school problems and meth
DDS.
The large and comfortably seated
auditoriums have made the schools
the gathering place of the communi-
ties for social affairs. This associa-
ton is doing away with petty preju-
dices among the people, and broaden
ing their vision in regard to public
matters. The grown people are thus
receiving educational advantages
through this contact with their
schools.
Decatur county has school sys-
tenn of which the people may be just
ly proud. They realized that their
children were entitled to better OPP
portunities, they had judgment and
vision to see the benefit to be de-
rived from good schools, and though
the years from 1920 to 1924 were
wears of great hardship for them,
years of unprecedented crop and mar
ket failures, yet in spite of the finan-
cial depression which extended over
those years, they had the courage to
continue to vote bonds to provide
these schools for their own children
and their posterity. By their unset
fish, broadminded policy Of develop
ment, they have laid the foundations
for Decatur county's future prosperi-
ty and greatness, and have proven
themselves worthy Of their great an
cestry.

LIVING AT HOME
BY E. c. Mann, Dooly County
Farm Agent

Twenty-Five years ago thin piece
of sandy land without fence or i'm
provements was bought by north
Georgia farmer who was operating a
saw mill.
The land lay well but was covered
with stumps. For six years all the
roughage was stacked and fed to live
stock-beef cattle of no known breed
ing. This manure and applications
of raw rock phosphate went onto the
thinest land. The better soils had
heavy crops of velvet beans turned
under. Fields were gradually fenced
home built, an orchard set, year
round garden maintained and finally
the farm showed\ an investment of
capital in land, buildings and equip
ment of approximately $4,000. The
operation of the place had settled IN
to plan that provided for sale each
year: two crops of hogs, wheat, oats,
hay, peanuts and cotton. In no year
has more than three of these crops
been too low in price to show a proI-
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1927-04-07
Yields Have Increased

Corn from s to &C bushels per
acre; cotton from one-fourth to three
quarter bale average the farm over,
and over a bale per acre on best
soils. For hay a winter legume like
vetch or Austrian peas is mixed with
oats and cut and baled during the
relatively dry open weather of May,
A second crop of cowpeas or soy
beans are cut and baled during Sep
TENDERS dry cool days.
The brod sows are handled separ-
ately from the fattening hogs, get
ting the run of the grain fields with
the March narrowed pigs just about
weaving time; putting them in fine
shape for breeding again. The pigs
go directly into field of early Span
ish peanuts and February planted
prolific corn and on to market III
September or October when at the
age of six and one-half to seven
months they weight above 200 lbs
and find a ready market. Spring pigs
usually feed themselves while the fall
pigs get fewer peanuts and part OF
the time are fed from a self-feeder
in the hog lot with tankage supplied
to balance the corn. Once when
wheat was cheaper than usual that
was used in place of the corn with
excellent results.
Wheat has found ready sale in
Macon mills at harvest. The yields
of approximately 200 bushels per
acre sell for from $1.40 to $1.75 per
bushel. Oats are sold locally for both
feed and seed purposes. Hay finds
local sale, and, being power baled,
is ready packaged for carlot ship
ments when other markets are higher.
Today this farm of 315 acres
touching a railroad on one side
and the national highway on another
and 8 miles from the county site is
one of the most desirable and well
kept as well as most profitable farms
in the county. Careful management
of balanced farming has increased
the value ten times in the past twenty
years.
Stumps are gone, land is terraced'
fences in good shape. Fields are
large and tractor machinery helps
cut operation costs. But the owner,
Mr. A. Walters, states that farming
is a business which requires all the
time and attention of well trained
executives for success.
