By Arty Schronce

I love the smell and the color of cedar wood – rich, warm, refreshing. It reminds me of young women and their hope chests, of Solomon’s temple and its use of the cedars of Lebanon, of long-lasting fence posts and of the Stuckey’s gift shop at the beach filled with cedar souvenirs. I also love our Eastern red cedar, sometimes just called red cedar, which is found throughout much of the eastern and central United States but not commonly planted except by growers who shape this native tree into fragrant, fine- textured Christmas trees. Birds are the main reason red cedars are part of our landscape. They eat the blue berries and deposit the seeds. That is why you often see a line of red cedars along pasture fences. The birds perch and sow, and cedar trees sprout and grow. Among the feasting and sowing birds are mock- ingbirds, bluebirds, catbirds, robins and the appropriately named cedar waxwings with their wingtips that appear to be dipped in red sealing wax. Cedar waxwings are social and can form large flocks. When a flock of these attractive birds descends to feed, it can make the cedar look like a Christ- mas tree with living ornaments. Botanical sticklers will point out that cedar “berries” are not berries at all but small, fleshy cones. Such technicalities do not matter to the birds who relish them or to the people who enjoy the beauty of both the berries and the birds they attract. If you have wondered why some trees have berries and some do not it is because, like some hollies, red cedar is di- oecious. That is, it has male and female reproductive organs on separate trees. Occasionally you may find a monecious Eastern red cedar with male and female organs on the same tree. Like many trees, a red cedar may bear a heavy crop one year and a light one the next. And yes, I know that despite its name, red cedar is not a Eastern red cedars mark where a pasture fence once stood. A female tree covered with berries stands far right in the photo, separated from true cedar. It is a juniper, Juniperus virginiana. That doesn’t two male cedars by a tall pine. bother me a bit; to paraphrase the Bard, a cedar by any other name would smell as sweet. not particular about soil. should all age so well.

From Our Archives: Save the Market Bulletin!

By Amy H. Carter Editor

Never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel. Especially if he’s a constitutional officer of the state. A politician with his finger on the button that starts a roll of newsprint running through a printing press is a force to (not) be reckoned with. Or so it seemed for the first 93 years of the Market Bulletin’s existence. At various times throughout the publication’s history, budget-minded members of Georgia’s executive and legislative branches proposed to make the Market Bulletin a fee-for-service publication. A niche periodical with a narrow topical focus, the Bulletin was nonetheless popular enough to boast upwards of 500,000 subscribers when it was offered free to any Georgian who cared to receive it. With production expenses in excess of $500,000 a year, the Market Bulletin must have looked like low- hanging fruit to budget hawks seeking cuts in taxpayer-funded services during lean economic times. Maybe they knew them was fightin’ words to whichever man had been elected to the office of agriculture commissioner at the time. If not, they learned as soon as the next edition of the Market Bulletin hit the streets. In 1972, it was then-Gov. Jimmy Carter’s turn. If logic prevailed in such matters, the state’s most famous peanut farmer would be the natural choice to finally make a successful case for a subscriber-funded Market Bulletin. Commissioner Tommy Irvin put that idea to rest with a banner headline on the front page of the Jan. 12, 1972, issue: “HELP SAVE YOUR BULLETIN.” “Governor Would Cut Publication,” he wrote. “It is obvious the Governor does not realize how valu- able you consider the BULLETIN. However, it is within the power of the State Legislature to restore this appropriation. As a former legislator, I know your local representative would appreciate hearing from you.” On Jan. 14, Atlanta Constitution columnist Celestine Sibley published a loving and well-timed ode to the Market Bulletin, which Irvin reprinted in the Bulletin on Jan. 26. “The other day I sat in the House chamber over at the capitol and heard precedents cracking or at least being threatened with fracturing blows all over the place,” Sibley wrote. “It didn’t bother me much because in political matters I’m always comforted by the knowledge that change usually improves things and if not, this too will pass. And then somebody told me the Market Bulletin was being threatened. Now really, gentlemen!” One can just imagine the future President and his executive secretary, Hamilton Jordan, crunching the numbers and crafting a fiscally sound rebuttal to all this hand-wringing sentimentalism. The Gover- nor even penned a personal note to Irvin on his handwritten working papers: “Tommy: Thank you for publishing this reply to your front page article and editorial. Give me equal treatment – Jimmy.” Bless his heart, he tried. “As Governor and a farmer, neither I nor anyone else is trying to abolish this newspaper. I would never permit it,” Carter wrote. “We are trying to slow down the increase in its cost to the taxpayers. What would you do if you were paying the cost of a service which did not improve in value but whose postage costs went up 1,500 percent in five years?” Go ahead and guess what he got for bringing cold hard numbers to the impassioned fight for a paper that, in Sibley’s words, “keeps us eager readers in a constant state of delight.” He got overruled. The General Assembly continued to fund the Market Bulletin in full until 2003, when reduced ap- propriations forced an end to the weekly publication schedule. In 2010, the Legislature removed the Market Bulletin from the state’s budget completely. On July 1, 2010, the Georgia Department of Agriculture began charging Market Bulletin subscribers $10 per year to receive the paper. Last year, subscribers collectively (and voluntarily) paid more than $400,000 for the Market Bulletin. Perhaps $10 a year is a small price to pay for what Sibley described as “the pure pleasure the Market Bulletin gives us.”
