A WORD OF
APPRECIATION
Rev. Harold Zwald has been pas
tor of The First Baptist Church for
about three years. There has never
been a better pastor at Cumming
than Brother Zwald. A young lady
said “he makes you feel like you
are needed in the work of the
church, he not only says “good
morning to you” but he really is
interested in everyone. He helps
you to realize the greatness of the
church because the church is made
up of the followers of Christ. He
has impressed upon me the great
ness of the task the church must
accomplish for His name sake.”
Speaking for myself, I believe
that Brother Zwald is a genuine
Christian gentleman. He loves God
and loves people and longs to win
them to Christ. I count him as my
friend in Christ. I have been es
pecially attracted to him because
of his love for people, especially
young people.
I have been working with young
people for thirty years, I would
rather teach and help young peo
ple than anything else and I think
Brother Zwald is like-minded.
May God bless you, Bro. Zwald,
as you go to your next field of
labor, our prayers go with you.
You have done a good job while
you have been in Cumming.

Take a look at a modern well
managed forest and you will see a
silent “land servant,” performing
a variety of tasks in holding to
gether the land and in providing
you the tremendous variety of pro
ducts needed in today’s twentieth
century living. '
Edward L. Wright, Ranger, For
syth County Forestry Unit,, pointed
out this week how forests are
“silent servants” as he urged citi
zens of this area to take advantage
of the many services they offer.
“Tto look at a forest,” he said,
“consisting of banks of solid green
branches against the sky, an under
growth of young seedlings and sap
lings, animals stealing in and our,
birds and insects, clear streams—is
to look at a storehouse of things
we need to make us happy and
prosperous. But it is also to look
at a tireless and able servant who
gives us the help we could get
from nothing else.”
Hie Konger pointed out that the
wise farmer who left his south
40 acres in fors knetew not only
what the woodlot would give him,
but he knew also what it would do.
“He realized,” said the Ranger
“that that topsoil on the sloping
field below it was richer and deep
er than on the other hillsides so
that the field always bore a heavy
crop. He saw also that the small
stream or the farm lake was al
ways clear because the roots held
the soil so firmly in place that it
could not wash away. He saw be
fore him a crop, a continuous, grow
ing crop which, with pproper care,
would in years to come provide
him a good cash income.”
“These benefits,” Ranger Wright
added, "are available to all Forsyth
County farmers and landowners
wishing to start tree crops.” Day

er land preparation, right kind and
right amount of fertilizer, good
seed and proper depth of planting.
Of course one should plant as

April usually is the proper time.

this year.
Be sure to purchas your seed
needs early.

To The People of
Forsyth County
I hereby announce as a candi
date for the office of Forsyth
County School Superintendent, sub
ject to the primary to be held on
March 21, 1956.
Before making this important de
cision, I have given careful thought
concerning the responsibilities that
will be placed on me if elected to
this important office. Next to the
churches and homes, our schools
play a most important part in de
veloping the lives of our most
precious asset, the children of For
syth County.
I graduated from the Cumming
High School in 1938 and entered
the University of Georgia from
which I received my Bachelor of
Science in Agriculture Degree
three years later. After having
taught one year in the Bowdon
High School. I resigned and enlist
ed in the Army Air Forces serving
two years in this country and one
and one-half years in Africa, India
and China. These three and one
half years provided me with some
very valuable experiences that have
made me appreciate what a really
wonderful country we live in. Part
of my duties in the Air Force con
sisted of operating a Supply Depot
from which I gained bookkeeping
experience that will help me to
transact the business of this office
in a more efficient manner.
Since receiving my Honorable
Discharge from the Air Force in
1946, I have taught Vocational Ag
riculture and Veterans Farm Train
ing in this county with the except
ion of one year, 1946 and 1947
term in Fayetteville.
At the present time, I am em
ployed by the Forsyth County
Board of Education as Vocational
Agriculture teacher in the Forsyth
County High School. I have re
quested a leave of absence effective
February Bth. I do not believe it
would be honorable or legal for
me to remain on the pay roll at
the taxpayers expense while seek
ing this office.
If you good people see fit to
elect me to this office, you can be
assured that I will render the best
services of which I am capable.
Each person will receive the same
courteous and fair treatment on
any matters pertaining to the
schools.
Very respectfully yours,
Julius Lanier Bannister

Most farmers have already re
ceived their seed catalogs or price
lists for 1956. And while it’s still
plenty cold we know that spring
will be along almost before we
know it. So almost everyone is
thinking about seed and planting
time. Even if you have just a small
garden it’s important that you
study these catalogs and seed price
lists c’arefully and buy the best
seed you can from the best dealer
you knotv.
But for the farmer who plants a
lot more seed on a lot more land,
good sed is ae matter of dollars
and cents. They sometimes are the
difference between a profit and a
loss.
So it’s just good business to buy
good seed. All of you have heard
this slogan about the best always
costs more. This slogan doesn’t ex
actly hold true when it comes to
seed. Actually, good seed are the
cheapest seed you can buy.
That last statement requires an
erplamtion. The initial cost of good
seed will be a little more. But the
larger yields and improved quality
you get from them will more than
pay the difference in cost.
The surest mark of identification
of good seed is a certified tag. Cer
tified seed have a number of ad
vantages that make it good busi
ness for you' to bu ythem. For one
thing the variety has been tested
by the experiment stations and
proves to be an adoptable variety
to grow.
Another advantage is that certi
fied seed are pure seed. The origin,
history, and pedigree 'are known
and recorded.
And then certified seed must be
grown in fields that are sufficient
ly isolated from other varieties to
prevent mixing. As you know, cer
tified seed can be processed and
bagged only by approved proces
sors. And these processors are
closely supervised by inspectors of
the Georgia Crop Improvement As
sociation.
Still another thing in favor of
certified seed is tljjat samples have
to be submitted tto official labora
tories for complete analysis and
germination tests. Certified seed
have to be high in germination and
free from noxious weed seeds.
These are a few of the reasons
why certified seed may cost a little
more. They also tare reasons why
you get higher yields and better
quality when you plant certified
seed.
