¢ QGeorgia Baptists are in the state
couvention in Valdosta this week. The
Baptist church in Georgia is a greatT
religious institution — doing great
christian work, despite the fact that
here and there the denomination i
getting credit for quite a large politi
cal activity. There isn’'t a religious
group in all the world more democrat
ic than the Baptists and nowhere
‘;‘cdn people be found more genuinely
pronounced in their wish for sepa
ration of church and state. The
foundation principles of government
" in America are those adopted by the
pioneer Baptists who came to this
country in the early days—and the
_Jeffersonian democracy about which
Usb much is written is all based on
the organizations through which the
- early Baptist churches were run.
EARTH SHOCK E‘\(ERY HQUR :

Ry ds; dha pagwen ol Divector Ton
[odprdyof, the,, Georgetown , University
hiotlixseryatokry, to the flood of inquiries
reaching him as to whether earth-
L quakes are increasing in number and
.frequency.
Because of the precision of instru
ments which record tremors, the pub
lic is informeq constantly through
“ their newspapers of disturbances of
: 'the earth’s crust in all parts of the
globe. The lay belief that the shocks
are becoming close together ig a re
. sult of this publicity.
.. “The layman, unofficially interest
"6 'ln the restlessness of the earth's
crust, should know the truth,” says
Dy, Tondorf. “The problem of com
plting earthquake frequency was first
se¢lentifically undertaken by Count de%
Montessus de Ballore, one-time direct-!
or of the Seismological Observator_v!
‘of the government of Chili. In 1900,
,)\,,tu a close analysis of the then
available earthquake records, 131,292
L 1 number, he placed the annual aver
"'h’lld earthquake occurrence at 3,830,
"aifilvalent to an earth shock every
two hours and twenty-seven minutes.
JFour years afterward, Dr. August
Sl'uboi's, of the University of Jena,
questioned the estimaie as too low.
A recalculation made by him in 1923
lifted th_S annual average frequency
to 9,000, or about one every hour.
Five thousand of these quakes he in
;dicated as being felt sensibly on some
part of the earth’s surface in varying
fimensiues. Violent quakes, classifieq
by others as world-shaking, occur at
intervals of every three and one-half
}days, either on the continents or on
‘the ocean's bottom. Those on land,
showever, average every fifth day.
~ “California, the least immune of all
United States territory, is visited by
a shock on an average of 81 times
annually. The liability of one of
these shocks being heavy is about
eight-tenths of one percent.” l
THE WORK OF A GOOD AGENT l
It will be apparent to those who,
read the annual report of the countyl
agent in Crisp to the present grand
jury that great work has been donel
through this office in the county the
'past year. The agent has engaged
in nothing but cold facts in making
his report—and it may be said by
the casual observer who knows that
this report, full as it is of good
things, does not yet tell the whole
story of Luck's activities as a oounty,
agent. If all the counties in Georgla‘
that have agents had men of the!
ability shown in the work here, we!
are sure that‘ Georgia farming wouldl
g@ke great progress thrajigh the ser

directed work and it is.ghowing up;
'in many direcizons.
' We have only to suggest that the
annual report of Mr. Luck which is
being made to the present grand jury
bhe read with care throughout by
every farmer in the county who gets
this newspaper. And it would pay
some of them to borrow a cépy and
read it. The report reveals many
methods employed for good results.
It shows a man fully in love with his
work and faithful in all of it. ~lt tells
the story’ of ‘anxibul purpose to get
results. Resplts have been gotten,
but it is not difficult to see-that these
results came from hard work,
" The coufity committee working in
conjunction with the county commis
sioners received the thanks of this
grand jury in their effort to”cooper
ate with the county agent in his past
yvear’s services., Both the agent and
the committee have done much fnr;
good farming. And this kind of tes-.
timonial for them—the kind that is;
unsought — affords us the greatest
pleasure to give.
We may have farming problems
that we cannot yet solve, but it is
not because we are short on any of
the work the county agent can do—
that the committee cooperating with
him can do. Again we must insist
fimfi the report of the agent be read
carefully because it is full of informa
tion “ahont. t;l.lq;.xfiost paying farming

THE GOOD OLD'DAYS
Butler Herald:' s
We hear much bragging and boast
ing of the ‘“good old days,” when
cverybody did as they pleased, had
what they wanted and worked but
little, But in glancing over the files
of the Herald as far back as 45 years
ago, we find the same old hue and
cry about hard times, too much and
low priced cotton and too little food

But there‘s the clipping from the
Herald of its issue of September 6,
1881: ““Those farmers (and their
name is legion) who have yieldcd to
the cotton mania and have violnic!
all the rules of pruddencc in £5 Join ;
will now be in position to realizs the
wreck and ruin wrought by thcir
course. An actual famine was never
more eminent in our history.”
The price of cotton was quoted at
that time at 10 and 12 1-2 cents, but
continued to decline until we find
trat just a few y.ears later the stan
ard price was from 3 te 5 cents.
In the same issue appears the
market quotations on farm products
as follows: chickens, each 10 to 2%
cents; eggs per dozen 8 to 10 cents,
Butter pér pound, 10°tc 20 cents;

in another column: “Gold is found
in Georgia in 36 counties, silver in

in 26, whiskey in ali af them and
the last gets away with all the rest.”
KIWANIS WORK
Americus Times-Recorder:
Last year, it seems, there was some
“mean, bold, open criticism” of the
Kiwanis Club of Cordele because of
its “diversified farm program, The
other day the Cordele Dispatch had
t_his tp_,_,sn‘y to those who opposed
this program: il
The Cordele Kiwanis Club was
acensed last 'year and year be
fore of beating the farmers of
Crisp county out of mililons in
lleotton money for trying to get
" more hogs, chickens and good
milk cows distributed over the
farms around Cordele. There
was mean, bold, open criticism.
The Kiwanis Club was secking
sane farming. It wasn’t seeking
to do the = farmer’s thinking

were lost in cotton will have to
be shifted to other shoulders.
The Kiwanis Club didn’t preach
cotton this year—and yet we

heavy loszes in cotton on the
farms of our friends. We want

“We build” is the slogan or mot

work in spreading propaganda bear
