Proper Care of Eggs
Urged by HD Agent
“Eggs add appeal to any meal,”
is the slogan for National Egg
Month being observed this month.
It is a slogan with which Mrs. Zel
ma Bannister, HDA for Forsyth
county agree. “Homemakers are
faced with the task of preparing
more than a thousand meals dur
ing 1955, and eggs can play an
important part in making those
meals interesting and nutritious,”
the home agent states.
She explains that much good
nourishment is packed inside the
shell of an egg. “Eggs contain high
quality protein and essential vita
mins and minerals. Two large eggs
provide about the same amount of
protein as an average serving of
meat. Eggs furnish iron, phospho
rus, calcium, vitamins A and D,
riboflavin, and niacin,” Mrs. Ban
nister adds.
Maintaining the quality of eggs
is not just the duty of the man
who sells them, but also of the
food shopper. Mrs. Bannister stress
es the improtance of taking care
of eggs after they are purchased
and gives three rules to remember
in storing eggs.
They should be kept cold, clean,
and covered. Stored at room tem
perature eggs may lose as much in
quality in three days as 'those kept
two weeks in a good refrigerator.
Without a cover, eggs lose mois
ture faster and are more likely to
absorb odors. Eggs with clean shell
keep best. Wipe off soiled spots
with a damp cloth, but don’t wash
eggs until just before they are
used.
“The grade of eggs is an indi
cation of quality and you’re more
likely to have success with egg
cooiiing if you use the grade of
egg best suited to the preparation,”
the HD agent state. “Use grade A
or AA eggs for poaching, cooking
in the shell, and for frying. Grade
B or C eggs fill the bill almost as
well as grade A eggs when used
for cakes, omelets, cookies, sauces
and general cooking.”

OFFICIAL ORGAN OF FORSYTH COUNTY & CITY OF CUMMING
DEVOTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF FORSYTH, FULTON, CHERO RISE, DAWSON, LUMPKIN, HALL AND GWINNETT COUNTIES.
(City Population 2,500) Cumming Georgia, Thursday, Jan., 20, 1955.
With y our County
Agent
Walter H. Rucker
In spite of the drought, 428 Geor
gia farmers made 100 bushels or
more of corn per acre in 1954, en
titling them to membership in the
State 100 bushel Corn Club.
Mr. J. R. Johnson, University of
Georgia Agricultural Extension Ser
vice Agronomist, said that the top
producer in the state is Mr. Arvel
Garrett, Towns County, who made
184 bushels on one acre.
The 100 Bushel Com Club is
sponsored by the Cotton Producers
Association. Mr. D. W. Brooks,
manager of the Cotton Producers
Association, said that members of
the club and their county agents
will be honored at a luncheon on
the agricultural campus of the
University on February 5. Seven
teen farmers who have made 100
bushels per acre for five years
will be given gold keys, Brooks
stated.
An earlier estimate by Mr. John
son and Mr. Harold Gurley, assist
ant Extension agronomist, was less
than hal fof the actual figure,
mainly because of the extreme
drought throughout the state.
Thirty-five counties will be re
presented by membership in the
club this year. Top county in the
state in number of members is
Union County with 101 farmers
attaining the 100 bushel mark.
Other leading counties are Towns,
Rabun. Fannin, Lumpkin and Gil
mer. Forsyth County will be re
presented by Mt\ Royce Samples
of Bethelview Community who
made an average of 116 bushels on
17 acres of corn.
The top man in the state, Mr.
Garrett, planted Georgia 101 corn.
He fertilized with five loads of
manure, 350 pounds of 4—12—12,
and 200 pounds of 33—0—. The
corn was cultivated three times.
The crop was produced for 44 cents
a Hushel and there were 15,840
talks per acre.
Mr. Johnson said that the corn
club was started in 1947 with 24
members and that its purpose was
to produce more corn per acre at
a smaller cost per bushel.
Cumming Parent

The February meeting of the
Cumming PTA will be held Febru
ary 10, in the High School Library

Coots and Mrs. Otwell will present

February meeting to commemorate
the originators of the PTA. There
are only two more meetings after
this one in the year, so if you have
not attended a meeting this year
be sure to come to this one.
At the last meeting Mrs. Roper’s
second grade won the dollar given
to the room having the most par
ents present. Come to the next
meeting and perhaps your child’s
room will win the attendance dol
lar.
Sharon Church Services
By Kate Kay Harris
Jesus saith....he that hath seen
me hath seen the Father. —John
14: 9.
We felt honored and blessed last
Sunday at Sharon by the presence
of two of our much loved former
pastors—Rev. D. M. Nalley and
Rev. W. H. Warren. We were also
pleased to have Mrs. W. H. War
ren and other visitors.
Rev. Nalley taught the Junior
Boy’s and Girl’s Sunday School
class which they enjoyed very
much. He made to them a very
clear picture of Who God the Fath
er is and how Christ should al
ways be seen in Christian lives.
Just as by knowing Christ on
earth people knew the Father, we
are supposed to know Christ by
knowing Christian people. These
Juniors will always remember and
love Rev. Nalley as he has bap
tized most of them and has been
a great influence to their lives in
making little Christian followers.
Rev. Nalley also conducted a
short Memorial Service in honor
of Mr. W. R. (Uncle Bud) Settle,
by reading a note from the family
to the Church and making a short
but beautiful talk about Mr. Set
tle’s good life.
Rev. W. H. Warren brought a
wonderful, spiritual message at the
eleven o’clock hour about, “The
Good Man, Barnabas”, from Acts
11. He explained that because Bar
nabas was a good man, and full
of the Holy Ghost and of faith,
many people believed and accepted
Christ, while he was preaching in
Antioch. He also made it clear that
if a church is wide awake spiritu
ally and if men and women are
good and Christlike in their living
many people today will still be
lieve and come to the church.
We had very interesting B. T. U.
lessons in all Departments after
which Rev. Warren brought anoth
er wonderful message from the
life of Matthew, proving how tlje
hardest of sinners can be saved if
they are willing to lay down their
sins and follow Jesus. Both of
Rev. Warren’s Sermons were cer
tainly spiritual food and we would
like to extend a hearty welcome
■to him, his wife, Rev. Nalley and
all other visitors at all times.

SEED COHN
“How much will you take for
that old basket?" asked a middle
age man as he stood in fwant of
the old barn door where his father
had sat many a day and shucked
corn for mill and for the stock,
watching each ear he shucked to
see if it was good "enough for the
big basket that occupied a reserved
spot. It was the basket that held
the seed corn.
“You mean that old basket over
there in the corner? It’s worn out,
and I should hav£ thrown it out
of the way long ago. but just nev
er did get around to it. You want
it?” And then the visitor explain
ed. He was ngt present when the
old farm was sold, else he would
have asked for it at that time.
"Friend, you couldn’t- buy it,
j since it is of no value to me, but
j I well understand why you would
j like to have it, and it is a pleasure
to give it to you. Here, let’s see
if we can get it out without it fall
ing to pieces. Itss pretty shaky,
as you see.” Strengthening the old
basket with some strands of hay
wire, they managed to get it in
the back of the car, and the son
drove away very happy, feeling
that he had something that was
cherished by his father.
The man who had bought the
historic farm, true to modern pat
terns, had little use for a basket
, for seed corn, finding it to his
| advantage to buy new seed every
j spring from the experiment stat
ions, but the incident set him to
thinking.
“Wonder what my boy will re
| member me by,” he mused. And
that was not too pleasant a re
j flection, since his boy cared little
for farming, and spent most of his
leisure in front of the TV, watch
ing crime plots and the pistol boys.
“Maybe I haven’t done my part
by him,” the father reflected.
“Maybe I’ve taken for granted that
he is not interested in what I do,
and turned him over to outsiders.
! Think I’d better give him a little
j more attention.
At the supper table, Junior said:
j “Dad, I’ve been thinking about
j something. How vlould it do if you
let me have a little patch this
spring, all my own. I would like
to try planting some corn, and
working it all by myself. And if
you will agree, I’d like to join the
4-H Club, and see if I could raise
i a champion pig or two. Been think
| ing about this a long time, but you
are always so busy I couldn’t get
around to asking you.”
Soil Consorvation New*

LAND CAPABILITY
It is the objective of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture to “use
each acre of agricultural land with
in its capabilities and the treat
ment of each acre of agricultural
land in accordance with its needs
for protection and improvement”.
The USDA, Soil Conservtion Ser
vice classifies land into eight ca
paniiity classes from the best and
most easily farmed land (Class I)
to land which has no value for
cultivation, grazing or forestry, but
may be suitable for wildlife, recre
ation, or for watershed protection
(Class VIII). All lands fall into
two broad groups land suitable for
cultivation (Classes I through IV);
annd land not suitable for cultiva
tion (Classes V through VIII).
“The classification of land accord
ing to its use capability” is a sys
tem of evaluating the physcial con
ditions of the land to determine the
most intensive use which is safe
and the intensity of treatment ne
cessary to protect it. Some land
is subject to impoverishing ero
sion if it is not protected. Other
land is naturally wet, so that drain
must be installed or maintained if
crops are to be grown. Some land
is shallow or droughty, or has
other soil deficiencies..

REPENT
Doing what pleases you is not
the question at all. Doing that
which ppleases God is the only
kind of life that brings happiness
and satisfaction. If you draw your
pleasures from worldly sources,
such as gambling, drinking, im
moral practices, you need to repent
in sack-cloth and ashes. There is
something radically wrong with
your thinking and living. A full
surrender to the will of God is the
only cure. The most manly thing
that you can do is say in your
helplessness “I have sinnned”. I
believe; Help thou my unbelief!
Stop looking for the failures of
others and recognize your own
failures, your own sin. When you
go to church do not start looking
for inconsistances in others. Get
yourself right before God. Every
man is to give an account to God
for the deeds done in His body.
God will bless a man who says
down deep in his own heari..
“Search Me, Oh God! and see if
there be any wicked way in me
and cleanse me from all unnright-.
eous ness”.
You will never find yourself in
the will of God if you have a fault
finding attitude toward others,, if
you are only able to see the sin 3
in the lives of other and unable to
see your own sin of unbelief?
Who appointed yo utobe Judge of
the souls of men? Dot not try to
usurp the throne of the Lord God.
Your burdens will roll away and
you will experience peace and as
surance in your life that you have
never known before. I plead with
you to stop trying to hide behind
the sins of others and let the blood
of Jesus Christ cleanse you from
all unrighteousness.
Don’t let Satan blind your eyes
forever. He will whisper to you
that you are smart and the faith
ful Christians are just “old fog
gies”~out of date—Yes, the same
crowd in Paul’s time called him
crazzy or mad. Yes, they reviled
Jesus also. Are you in'that crowd?
Not only must we repent when
we accept Jesus Christ as our per
sonal saviour. But we need to re
pent every day. for our neglience
and disobedience of God’s com
mands; of our indifference and
each of concern for the souls of
men.
