HOW BAPTISTS WORK
TOGETHER
(Cooperative Program)
By .lames W. Merritt
Scripture Reading
I Corinthians 3:9; Matthew 28:
8 20; Acts 1: 8
THE NEXT STEP
As we have seen, the place where
Baptists begin working together is
in thpir own churches. If a spirit
of cooperation is lacking there it
is almost certain that it will be
absent in the work of the denomi
nation. Experience has shown that
where* members cannot or will not
work together in the local affairs
of their own churches, they seldom
if ever enter fully into the cooper
ative missionary, benevolent and
educational enterprises of the de
nomination.
However, for that great and
growing number of our people and
our chuches, representing all except
a small fraction of Baptist life, who
do work together and who do co
operate in the program of the de
nomination, the district association
affords the nearest medium of co
operation.
It would be difficult to overem
phasize the importance of the dis
trict association in Baptist affairs.
These groups were formed before
state conventions and the Southern
Convention came into existence and
their contribution to the growth
and development of Baptist life
and kingdom work has been and
continues to be large and enduring.
Churches work together through
district associations by sennding
reports and messengers to the an
nual meeting of their particular
association and by having adequate
representation at the other meet
ings during the year.
Most associations are organized
for the work of promotion and
stewardship, for evangelism, Sun
day School, Training Union, Broth
erhood, Music and W. M. U. work,
and many associations support full
time missionaries or field workers.
Churches can and do work to
gether in advancing the programs
of their associations and in pro
viding support, financial and other
wise, for the various phases of
work and for missionaries who
may be employed.

The time for a Georgia cotton
grower to pay for having his cot
ton picked this fall is now, accord
ing to Mr. E. C. Westbrook, agro
nomist for the University of Geor
gia Agricultural Extension Service.
Mr. Westbrook said that the way
for the farmer to do this is to
plan now to increase his cotton
yield enough to pay the picking
cost. Most Georgia farmers could
do this easily by using liberal
amounts of the right fertilizer,
leaving a thick stand of plants,
and practicing a thorough program
of cotton insect control, Mr. West
brook explained.
The agronomist pointed out that
by increasing his average per acre
yield by pnly 100 pounds of lint
cotton—about 250 pounds of seed
cottton —a farmer could, at present
prices, increaase his income from
cotton and seed by $37.50 per acre.
Picking at $2.50 per 100 pounds
for the approximately 1300 pounds
of seed cotton required to make a
500 pound bale would cost $32.50
per acre. Therefore, the increase
in yield would pay for the cost of
picking and leave $5.00 to apply on
the cost of ginning.
Mr. Westbrook said that reduct
ion in cotton acreage in Georgia
last year resulted in a reduction in
income from cotton campared to
1953 of $20,000,000. Further acreage
reduction in 1955 will result in the
loss of another $20,000,000 unless
the average yield for the state is
considerably Increased to make up
for this loss.
This state average of 285 pounds
per acre can be increased because
many farmers produced an aver
age of a bale or more per acre last

Andersonville National Cemetery and Prison Park, used

, teen miles south of Montezuma. The original breastworks
are still standing, and Providence Spring, supposed to
have burst from the earth in answer to the parched pris
oners’ prayers, is still flowing. Modern Macon County
typifies the new balance of Georgia agriculture. Peanut
production is so tremendous that one firm has erected
the world’s second-largest silos to hold their stocks of
Macon goobers. Peach production is large and growing,
and beef cattle graze all over the county, including one
10,000 acre ranch.
In Macon County and throughout Georgia, the U. S.
Brewers Foundation works constantly to assure the sale
of beer and ale under pleasant, orderly conditions. Be
lieving that strict law enforcement serves the best inter
est of the people of Georgia, the Foundation stresses
close cooperation with the Armed Forces, law enforce

lation” program.
