CORN STALK-BORER
MAY BE COMBAT
TED BY CHANG
ING CROP
Since damage is grea'er where corn
follows corn, rotation of crops is on®
method of control of the larger corn
stalk-borer, Otto Mills, Forsyth county
farm agent declares. He adds the
following statement prepared by E. I>
Alexander, extension agronomist at
The University of Georgia, Athens:
In many cornfields winds do a great
deal of damage by breaking the plants
off at the surface of the ground. Usu
ally the plants have been weakened
by burrows of larva of the larger corn
stalk-borer. These caterpillars dam
age corn in two ways:
Early in the season while the plants
are young, the tender growing tips
are so damaged that they never re
cover and laler the maturing stalks
are so weakened from burrows near
the base that the yield is reduced or
the plant is broken off by winds be
fore maturity. Young plants that re
cover show small round holes in
straight lines across the leaves. The
insect has been reported as also feed
ing on sorghum or sugar cane and
Johnson grass.
Rotation is one of the best methods
of control, especially is this true
where stalks and stubble remain un
disturbed throughout the winter. Pos
sibly one of ‘he better methods of
control is through destruction of
stalks and stubbles before moths
emerge in the spring. On heavy land j
a thorough deep plowing that will in
sure a covering of two to three inches ■
of soil on the stubble should prevent
the escape of the mo hs. On light
soil the covering will need to be deep
er. The most effective plgn is to re
move the stubble, from the field to be
burned or put in compost heaps. It
may also be piled in field ditches if
sufficiently covered to prevent (es
cape of moths.
BRANDYWINE DOTS
The Seventh Grade at Brandywine
had in their lesson in English Friday
February 9, the Class Prophecy.
Those chosen as having the best
papers were Loy Francis and Henry
Bales.
Let us close our eyes and look thus
at the margin globe at Brandywine
in the year of 1934.
When last visi’ed around Brandy
wine it was only a Junior school but
now is an “Accredited High.”
Next I turn the globe and see an
old school mate of mine, whom I
hardly recognize as now a nurse in
an Atlanta Hospital as Lucile Mc-
Kinney.
Next I seen Lorene Kirby who has
gone into the Beauty Parlor Business
near Brandywine, now she has a nice
shop, as you know her dark hair was
always her weakness in her school
days.
Now* the Globe is dark except one
spot where Henry Bales is seen sell
ing pigeons.
Once more the globe turns dark
and I can hardly see, but now 1 see a
150 pound man no other than Garland
who is running a side show on the
outskirts of New York.
On entering New York I noticed a
sign "Jones and Francies,” I wander
ed who this could be, on entering the
building I seen it to be no on e else
but Loy Francie and Seaborn Jones
who specialized in Divorces.
Once more the globe turns and I
see a large farm near Cumming with
a dairy to be no other than Vianus
McGinnis and Olin Strickland.
I next turned to look and to my
surprise, I gazed at Dillard Jones who
is married and making an able preach
er.
Next I came to see Othro Smith who
has rambled fr'om Coast to Coast for
the past five years and still hoping
to find a pot of gold.
Then I decided to take off to the
show and chose the Fox Theatre for
my first time to have the privelege of
going there. As I taken my seat I
looked upon the stage and to my
surprise who did I see but Atward
Anderson and Dewitt Jones singing
"Home Sweet Home”
Here the globe is dark and getting
darker and 1 am dreaming of the day
when all hese dreams come true.
TOO MUCH! OH YEAH!
(By Y’e Ole Timer)
Oh yeah! the less we have
And the more we have to pay,
Gives the greater cause for joy,
So the wise ones say.
And when the price is real low,
The less grounds for fear,
And when less and less we have,
The more reasons for cheer.
For s. bigger greater gain.
Now to just a chosen few,
Means a better happier lot
For me and for you.
Can this indeed be true;
That when we less and less provide,
And yet still better our lot,
And still more and more divide?
Oh, yeah, the milk should be dumped
And the cotton should be burned,
The coffee needs to be sunk,
So that more cculd be °arned.
Why not sink all our ships?
Blow our homes to—oh, don’t tell,
And kill off all our herds,
Do the job good and well.
This surplus we surely hate;
Why not flood all our mines?
Break the wheels! smash the tools!
Destroy both crops and vines!
Then let us destroy, kill and burn,
So that with the surplus all Gone,
Watch prices soar and money roar
While HEAVEN dawns.
Remember Sunday school at this
place every Sunday at two o’clock.
Preaching at night.
A TENDER APPEAL
(Rev. M. C. Howard)
i "Grieve not ‘.he Holy Spirit of God
I whereby ye are sealed unto the day
of redemption” Eph. 4. 30.
Thifr tender appeal to believers in
J the Lord Jesus Christ is os one of
I the most touching references *o the
Holy Spirit. There is a fine suggest
ion here of the infinite tenderness and
gentleness of the Holy Spirit, as well
as he finality of His sealing work,
i Notwithstanding all our faults, our
failures, our sins and the grievings
of His tender love. He is not going
to give us up and leave us. Indeed
we are declared to he "sealed unto
the day of redemption.’ He will never
leave us even though we grieve Him.
All this really adds to the pathos
of the tender appeal and the sinfl-
ness f our wrong acts and at'itude
toward he Holy Spirit. It may be
that we do not intentionally or know
ingly wrong Him directly, but the
things by which we grieve Him may
be offenses and attitudes ttvll' j
others, especially our brothers in ih.,
Lord. The words which follow this
tender appeal not to grieve the Holy
Spirit, very forcibly suggests the
things by which we grieve Him. “Let
all bitterness and wrath and anger
and clamor and evil speaking be put
away from you, with all malice: and
by ye kind one to another tender
hearted, forgiving one another, even
as God for Christ sake hath forgiven
you.’’ Bitterness wrath, anger, clam
or evil speaking malice, unkindness
and unforgiveness, these are the
things that grieve Him and hurt His
sensitive heart. And how much harsh
ness, busqueness, criticism, and evil
speaking there is among the believers
even hose who lay claim to a pet u
liar degree of spirituality. There is
much need today to lay to heart the
exhoriation which says, “Let brother
ly love con.inue.” Beloved let us love
in woid, neither in tongue; Blit in
deed and in truth.” Let us try to
keep our eyes from seeing evil, and
our lips from telling evil. Let us see
not > hurt, or to wound, or to ruin
one another; but earnesly endeavor
to keep the unity of the Spirit In the
bond of peace; for it is the special
ministry of he Spirit ‘o hold in unity
and love the Body of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Tne more tender and con
sideia e we are toward our bretheren
in the Lord, the less the Holy Spirit
will be grieved in our lives, and the
more pleasure and delight He will
find in us. Shall we not therefore al
low this tender appeal to speak to
our hearts and consciences, “and
grieve not the Holy Spirit of God.
whereby ye are sealed unto the day
of redemption,”
IN MEMORY
Of Thomas Owenbey our dear uncle
who departed this life July 10. 1933.
Uncle Tom was 72 year old when
the Lord said come away you have
stayed in the world of sin ar.d sorrow
long enough, come up higher -to a bet
ter place where there is joy and peace
for evermore.
Oh! how sad it was to stand by his
bedside and know that he couldn’t
speak 'to us and see him last
biea’h. He was taken sick on Friday
and died on Monday evening, he had
a bad disease every since he was 16
years of age and they carried him
away on Friday night after his first
bad spell. He was conscious for a
while and ttalked some. He said he
was going and would say Oh Father
come and get me and lake me out of
my suffering and would raise up and
say I a..i going, he didn’t speak after
Saturday morning, all was done for
him hat loving hands could do, but
it was so sad to give him up. but the
Lord knows best, his will be done
and not ours. Uncle Tom joined the
Baptist 'Church at Ebenezer in Union'
county when young and lived a clean
life until death, he was always sing
ing some good old time song. Oh!
how we miss him around the home
we miss hearing him singing his old I
sweet songs that he loved to sing so[
well.
In the Grave yard softly sleeping,
where the flowers wail and wave.
Lies the body of one w-e love so dear
ly in his silent lonely grave.
Uncle Tom is gone but not forgotten
never will his memories fade, sweet
est thoughts will ever lingci around
the grave where he was laid
Dear sisters and brother weep no*
for him or be sad for you shall be
hold him again some day and be glad
if we will live the life we should live
we can meet him some sweet day on
the other short where there is no
sickness, no sorrow, no heartache are
trouble but all will be peace and joy
so let us live a life *o meet him in
the skies. We loved him yets, we
loved him but the Angles loved him
more and they have sweetly called
him ;o the other shore.
He leaves five sist.ii and one
brother and a host of friends and
relatives to mourn his departure.
Dear loved one we mas: lay thee In
the peaceful giaves embrace, but thy
memory will be cherished till we see
thy Heavenly face.

A LETTER
February 27, l'.Ct
M Fov T. Otwcll, Editor,
The Forsyth County News,
dimming, Ca.
Dea Mr. Otwell:
Now that The Birthday Bail for the
President has come to a successful
conclusion, I feel that I owuld be re
miss in closing this activity unless I
took opportunity to express to you
the appreciation of the National Com
mittee for all *hat you and your as
sociates have done in making this
success possible.
Of course, no social event is a real
such ess w'.hout the cooperation of
the press, hut in thiis particular case
the newspapers of .he country played
a much greater role than the invalu
able one of acquainting all of their
readers with he event.
Over 3600 local committees through
out the country were organized in
prae ically five weeks. Mr. Carl Byoir
the General Director of the National
Committee, tells me 'hat this record
of organization would have been ab
solutely impossible except for the
fact ihat the local chairman, almost
without exception, were nominated
by the local newspaper publishers.
Thus we were able to enlist, alntos
instantly, chairmen who had the sup
port and confidence of their com
muni'y.
I think the most heartening fact
developed by this campaign was that
without a single exception, the news
papers of this country, both dailv and
weekly, joined in organizing and sup
porting this great humane work. This
is probably :he first time in ‘he his
tory of our country that a na'ionw’d
organization has been efeected thru
the medium of the press although, of
course, the newspapers of the country
have frequently given unstintingly of
their space *o many charitable causes
As soon as returns from local com
mi tees are complete and have been
audited by a firm of nationally known
certified public accountants, full de
tailed information will be furnished
the public through ‘he press so that
all may know the extent of the suc
cess of the Bir'hday Ball.
It has been a real inspiration to me
to have been associated with you in
this work and I just want you to know
that I fell very deeply tha‘ you can
always have a just pride in having
played so important a part in ‘he fight
against infantile paralysis.
Sincerely yours,
HENRY L. DOHERTY
National Chairman
