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.” Take Advantage of G. f. Bill of Rights Macon, Ga.—lf you are eligible for military service, enlist NOW while you may still take advantage of the Korean G. I. Bill of Rights. This advice was given out by Cap tain Gene H.

The Forsyth County News 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.

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.

All sing ers and lovers of good singing are urged to be with us. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton 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* Forsyth County 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.. SINGING NOTICE The regular Fourth Sunday night Singing of the seven County Sing ing class will meet with Pleasant Grove M. E.

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. W. R.
