Higher Poultry
Profits . Revealed
In New Program
GAINESVILLE —Higher poultry
profits for Georgia and other poul
try industry states have been made
possible by the development of a
new feeding program, a nationally
known scientist disclosed here.
Dr. Robert White-Stevens, of the
Research Division, American Cya
namid Co., Pearl River, N. Y., dis
cussed the program this week in
gatherings of growers, dealers and
feed manufacturers in addresses
here and in Canton. The meetings
were sponsored by American Cya
namid in cooperation* with the Brad
shaw Supply Co., of Canton.
The feeding program can result
in sharply increased income from
poultry and eggs throughout Geor
gia, he declared. Figures cited hy
the U. S. Department of Commerce
show that (he poultry industry in
Georgia last year was worth more
than $146,250,000.
But profits actually are below
what they should be, the scientist
said, because of chronic disease
conditions and secondary infections
in poultry flocks.
He said experiments had proved
now that such losses can be drasti
cally reduced by the use of the
antibiotic Aureomycin (chemical
name, chlortetarcycline) in poultry
feeds continuously at high levels.
These experiments were carried on
in commercial flocks in Georgia
and other states. They show clear
ly, he said, that “preventive high
level feeding of Aureomycin Is the
most effective way of overcoming
major chronic disease problems,”
amonng them blue comb, air sac
infections, sinusitis and others.
Dr. White-Stevens said the two
principal deterrents to profitable
large-scale poultry raising had been
diseases and the problem of meet
ing nutritional requirements. Now,
he added, nutritional requirements
can be met both adequately and
economically with good commer
cial feeds, and “the introduction of
Aureomycin into poultry feeding
to cut down disease losses appears
to be a major advance in overcom
ing the disease deterrent to poul
try profits.”
This development, he asserted,
combined with coccidiosis prevent
ion with such a drug as Megasul
(nltrophenide) and good vaccines
to build immunity against some of
the acute virus diseases “will go a
long way in reducing the problem
of disease in poultry flocks.’’
The scientist said good sanitat
ion practices alone are not enough,
since many disease problems can
not be eradicated under practical
poultry-raising methods.
‘lt is here,” he continued, “that
the continuous feeding of high lev
els of Aureomycin can be utilized
to lower losses caused by the stunt
ing effects of subclinical disease
and to prevent outbreaks of latent
diseases which otherwise which
otherwise might be aggravated in
to an outbreak before curative
measures could be effective.”
The experiments with such a pro
gram have shown not only that
broilers are brought to market
earlier. In addition, the number
sold as top-quality birds has in
creased; egg production rates have
been higher, and hatchability re
cords have been better.
Dr. White-Stevens said the ini
tial cost of adding high levels of
Aureomycin to feed is more than
offset by the extra profits realized.

Yes, The Co-operative
Program Is Scriptural
HELPING THE HELPLESS
Through the Co-operative Pro
gram we maintain orphanagges in
all our states. Through our Relief
and Annuity Board we are caring
for needy ministers, their widows,
and orphans. In a private way
hundreds of other widows are car
ed for by our churches." Is this
phase of our work scriptural?
“Pure religion and undefiled before
our God and Father is this, to
visit the fatherless and widows in
their affliction, and to keep one
self unspotted from the world”
(James 1: 27). So those who back
the Co-operative Program have
“pure religion"" of the New Testa
ment type.
SCRIPTUAL IN IT AGENCIES
Our Co-operative Program is
carried on by six principal agen
cies: Churches, pastors, associa
tions or conventions, boards or
standing committees, secretaries,
and missionaries.
CHURCHES
There are about 26.401 Baptist
churches In the South, the most
of which are in some sense serv
ing through the Co-operative Pro
gram. Just as we have these church
es through which our evangelistic,
missionary, educational, healing,
and charity work is being carried
on, so in the New Testament times
it was through the churches at
Jerusalem, Antioch, in Galatia,
Macedonia (Philippi, Thessalonica),
Corinth, Ephesus, Rome, and others
that the program of Christ was
carried out in the first century
(Acts 8: 4-3, 14, 26*; 9: 32; 11: 19-21
13: 14; Rom. 15: 27; 1 Cor. 16: 1
(churches of Galatia); 2 Cor. 8: 1-2
Gal. 1: 2; 1 Thess. 1-1, 2 Thess. 1-1
Rev. 2 and 3).
Churches found the plan of co
operation in the Scriptures and
adopted it for their local use. Mes
sengers from these churches made
up the state associations that adopt
ed the co-operative plan of work
ing together. It is false to claim
that the program was handed
down to the churches by secre
taries, churches through their mes
sengers handed it to the secretar
ies!
P. S.—This is another part of our
Co-operative Program—More will
follow next week.

Georgia Civil
Defense Salutes
The Jaycees
This week the eyes of the nation
will be focused on Georgia and At
lanta as they play host to the Nat
ional Jaycee Convention.
Major General George J. Hearn
stated that this was an opportune
time to thank the Jaycees and es
pecially those of Georgia for the
fine contribution they are making
in our civil defense program.
Hearn continued that world de
velopments haave been rapid, and
sobering, in the three years since
the Jaycees first undertook the
national registration of its mem
bership in civil defense. In that
brief period we have seen a tre- i
mendous growth in the power and
destructiveness of the weapons
which can threaten our security.
We have seen the advent of the
hydrogen bomb, which, in an in
stant, can erase entire cities from
the earth and we have come
to know the deadly manace of the
windborne radiological fallout of
which might accompany a nuclear
Mtack.
With these developments, we
have been forced to alter the con
cepts of survival with which we
had emerged from two world con
flicts and which, three yyears ago,
seemed adequate to defend us
against any enemy, Hearn contin
ued.
No longer can our defense be a
mere repetition of reflex action to
yesterday’s crises. It cannot be a
thing of frenzies and alarms. It
must be a thing of thought and of
order and of efficiency. That is the
concept of Civil Defense today.
Hearn concluded that the Jay
cees have always shown a deep in
terest in the problems of Civfl
Defense. Your combined experience
and leadership can lend invaluable
help in meeting the greater chal
lenge with which we are confront
ed now.
The Second
Coming of Christ
Where can you find such com
forting and such hopeful words as
these words of Jesus? "Let not
your heart be troubled; believe God
believe also in me. In my Fiatheris
house are many mansions; If it
were not so I would have told you.
I go and prepare a place for you,
I WILL COME AGAIN, and re
ceive you unto myself; that where
I am, there ye may be also” John
14: I—3.
The great commission was given
by Jesus to his followers, down
through the centuries. Each of us
should ask ourselves the question,
“A I faithful in carrying out the
last request or rather command of
Chrrist?” Another passage of the
scripture says that “MEN SHALL
BE LOVERS OF THEMSELVES
MORE THAN LOVERS OF GOD.”
People will go to great length to
bring comfort and pleasure to
themselves. We see it on every
hand, there are people that will go
for weeks, months and years (pro
fessing Christians) without even
attending church services; never
attempting to lead anyone else to
Jesus as their personal savior: turn
the Holy Day into a holiday. Peo
ple who love themselves more than
they love God; Men and Wdime'n
who love darkness rather’ than the
light.
There are so many scriptures
that tell us that Jesus Christ is
Coming back to this earth again.
Will you be ready for His Com
ing? Do you anticipate and long
for His Coming? Are you busy
doing His will, or are living in
willful disobedience to Jesus Christ
I pray that you will be busy living
for Jesus when He comes again.

Way cross Loaned
Pumpers, Cravey
Acclaims Spirit
Safety Fire Commissioner Zack
D. Cravey today thanked the cities
of Valdosta, Savannah and Moul
trie for their neighborliness in com
ing to the aid of the Waycross
Fire Department which recently
lost a 750-gallon pumper in a rail
crossing crash, fatal to two fire
men.
Hardly had the news been re
ceived before the three muicipali
ties called Waycross Fire Chief
Ralph Carpenter volunteering the
loan of a pumper, Mr. Cravey said.
Waycross accepted the tempor
ary use of a 1000—gallon pumper
from Savannah and one of 500
from Valdosta, Mr. Cravey explain
ed.
“Chief Tom Cook and his fine
men of the Valdosta department
even went further to prove the
fine spirit whichexists among our
fire fighting men,’’ Mr. Cravey de
clared. “Those off duty went over
to Waycross and stood fire station
guard while the Waycross firemen
could attend funeral services for
their fallen comrades.”
“The Georgia Fire Safety pro
gram owes its success to the coop
eration of towns and individuals
throughout the state as so impress
ively reflected in this case. We)
the Commission sympathize with
/Waycross in the loss of Captain
C. E. Taylor and Fireman Emmet
J. Cook. We honor these men as
heroes who died at their post of
duty.”

SECOND ROUND
POLIO VACCINE
DEADLINE SOON
Parents of first and second grade
children who received the first
round of Salk polio vaccine are
urged by the Georgia Department
of Public Health to see that these
children attend the second-round
clinics now being held in each
county.
Dr. John Venable, assistant to
the Director of the Georgia De
partment of Public Health, said the
first week of July is the state's
deadline for second-round clinics.
Local health departments are set
ting their deadlines on or before
this date. The months of July and
August normaly v have the highest
number of polio cases, he said,
and no vaccine will be given dur
ing that period by the Health De
partment.
Children who miss the second
round of polio vaccine shots this
summer will have a chance to re
ceive them sometime this fall, Dr.
Venable explained, after school is
in session.
The vaccine, which was supplied
free by the National Polio Found
ation from March of Dimes funds,
was sent the week of June 13 to
every county in Georgia for use
in continuing the free vaccine clin
ics started in April for first and
second grade childre. The Health
Department recently received 121,-
000 doeses of the vaccine from the
Eli Lilly Company of Indianapolis.
This, in addition to supplies al
ready on hand, provided 157,626|
does, enough to supply counties
with 90 percent of the amount of
vaccine they received for the first
round of shots in April. A few
counties still had small amounts
of the vaccine on hand from the
April clinics.
ASC NEWS
Chairman C. A. Bagwell, of the
Forsyth County Agricultural Stab
ilzation and Conservation Commit
tee has designated one voting place
in Forsyth County for the wheat
referendum to be held June 25.
Here is the place where the eli
gible wheat growers of the County
will indicate whether or not they
want the wheat marketing quota
program to continue in operation
for the 1956 crop:
PLACE—Forsyth County ASC Com
mlttee office, Cumming, Georgia.
TIME—From 9:00 A. M. to 5:00
P. M.
Wheat growers have been noti
fied of their wheat acreage allot
ments. All wheat producers who
will have more than 15 acres of
wheat for harvest in 1956 are eli
gible to vote. The marketing quota
program does not affect those who
will have 15 acres or less of wheat
for harvest in 1956. The program
will be in operation only in the
commercial wheat States.
If two-thirds or more of the Nat
ion’s wheat growers voting in the
referendum approve, marketing
quotas will continue in effect for
the 1956 crop. This will mean that
price support within a probable
range of 75 to 82 percent of parity
will be available to those who stay |
within their farm’s wheat acreage
allotment. Those who exceed the
larger of the farm allotment of 15
acres will be subject to a penalty
equal to 45 percent of parity on |
the excess production and price I
support will not be available for
any of their 1956 wheat crop.
If more than one-third of the
growers voting disapprove, market
ing quotas will not be in effect
and price support will be available
at 50 percent of parity for those
farmers who stay within the wheat
acreage allotment for their farms.
Those who exceed their farm wheat
allotments will not be eligible for
price support.

IN GOD’S TIME
They called me to come to the
hospital —G that a patient was
asking to see me right away. I
couldn’t believe this little woman
was the sick one. She has always
been the person to report others
in the hospital.
But there she was, and I knew
it was more than a pain or ache.
“Ithought I’d better tell you my
self," she began. “It’s my heart. I
figured it would be like this. I told
my doctor what it was before he
touched me. He called the ambu
lance. Said I would be better off
here. That was about all he could
say, of course. “I wanted you to
know right away because there
may not be too much time. There
are a few things I wanted to say,
to you.” j
And for ten minutes she talked.
1 know she shouldn’t be talking,
but there was no use counselling
her. She would soon say what she
had to say, and it was important/
The nurse understood, and met the
doctor down the hall to direct him
to another patient. “And now, in.
God’s own good time, it will all
work out,” she concluded.
Closing her eyes, she relaxed
comppletely, and the nurse tipped
in, and than the doctor. “What do
you think?" the doctor asked as
we walked down the corridor for
a cup of coffee. He agreed when I
suggested that she might come out
of it.
“In God’s time.”
What wonderful philosophy of
life. You may call it faith. It is.
But many people have faith with
out a philosophy of life. They use
their faith like they use their tele
phone—when they need to call up.
This little woman moves on and
on and on, putting herself at all
times and under all circumstances,
in His keeping. Everythinng is im
portant—important enough to be
within His will. There are no un
important matters when you come
to think of it.
"In God’s time.”
Jesus had much to say about
this central truth.
Remember how He said: “Seek
ye first the kingdom of God and
His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added unto you.*’
