County Agent G. C. Daniel urges farmers to study the Bankhead Act renewal and vote based on its effects. He cites price changes for cotton corn wheat and hogs since 1983 1985 target dates and questions how producers will adjust acreage fertilization and farming plans if control measures continue or end.
An adjustment program for peanuts designed to align supply with consumption by diverting part of the 1934 crop was announced. The initiative aims to stabilize market levels and prevent oversupply effects on prices.
The AAA announced a 1935 peanut program with a processing tax on peanuts not used for oil, payments for acreage adjustment and diversion to oil or feed, and price guarantees to raise farming income. A Virginia to Virginia-type payment scales by ton and 1984 harvests determine eligibility, with optional diversions and price adjustments by oil manufacturers. Georgia pecan growers also face a new marketing agreement setting prices and grades for unshelled pecans to stabilize the market.
Positive security for the southern cotton producer and a forward-looking movement toward greater security come from a cooperative effort by growers and the AAA. To obtain this security means controlled production, declares C. A.
Cobb, head of the cotton section, argues that continued cooperative control is essential to manage surpluses and elevate prices. He cites 1983 and 1982 outcomes, the 1984 crop estimate of 9.25 million bales, valued around 853 million dollars including seed and payments, and asserts control has lifted growers from poverty prices to higher returns.
Preliminary figures on file with the comptroller general show Georgia property tax valuations fell by more than 77 million dollars from 1982 to 1983, while losses from 1938 to 1934 were around 3.5 million. The report contrasts modest declines in the earlier period with a sharp drop in the early 1980s.
A Flint Michigan listing shows passenger car prices with Master Models requiring a $20 bumpers spare tire and tire lock add-on. Prices may change without notice.
The Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus brings 800 performers to Atlanta for a single day on October 24. Highlights include Otari Troupe in mid air feats, Mile Gillette, Don Colleano, Wallenda Troupe, and 150 clowns among 1600 staff across four trains with 50 elephants and 700 horses.
A brief aphorism reflects on how repeated hardship reveals a person’s true measure. It notes that suffering teaches that one’s self-importance is often overstated.
A series of terse notes report Edwin Ramsay suing wardens and American Air Transport over a broken hip from a Fulton county chain gang, Dalton gang lore in Atlanta, meat price hikes forecast for 1985, a purse snatching in Parkway Drive, a police line‑up entry, Abraham Baldwin College’s debt‑free first year, Rockefeller’s Florida winter visit, a car collision with a fall from an electric pole, a bedspread store robbery in Calhoun, rising Atlanta birth rates, Ft Myers post office shrubs, a home robbery near Moultrie, and 89 Atlanta barbers facing physical exam enforcement.
