We believe in ideals, but let’s be sure that
they dominate those in a position to strike hard
and 'sudden blows.
Why is it, when men or women act like child
ren, they always imitate the worst character
istics of childhood?
The men who flashes large bills at every op
portunity is obviously not accustomed to much
money. >
What has become of the man who can look'
into the evening sky and tell you the name of
the planet you see?
One of these days there will be a way to dis
cover the truth. Meanwhile, we must grope for [
it the best way we can.
FOREST FIRES COSTLY
Millions of dollars worth of timber are lost
every year through forest fires, and some of this
money is contributed by the landowners of For
syth County.
While it is impossible to prevent all forest
fires, every landowner should make an effort
to save his own property. Aften, despite his ac
tivity , careless persons will thoughtlessly start
a fire.
When we have dry weather the hazards from
lightning and other causes are much greater. In
past years millions of acres of valuable timber
have gone up in smoke. With this natural re
source in such great demand, the burning-over
of forest lands and the accidental setting of
timber fires represent a loss to the national eco
nomy, as well as to the individual owner.
Let’s all adopt the timely slogan, “Keep Our
Forests Green!”
HOLD TO OUR RIGHTS
The freedom of the people of Forsyth County,
along with that of millions of other Americans,
is protected by the Bill of Rights, and it should
he the duty of every citizen to thoroughly under
stand the nature of the privileges accorded him
under a liberal interpretation of the provisions
included under that term.
Just now, the United States is hearing much
about subversive, un-American and other pe
culiar activities. Various efforts are being made
to have Congress pass bills which would tend to
uproot these forces which most Americans do
not like.
It might be a good idea, however, for us m
our zeal to uphold American liberties, to make
certain that we do not violate these liberties in
an attempt to stamp out the things that we con
sider - dangerous o the liberties themselves.
As one outstanding editor has said: “Commit
tees that have studied un-American activities
will render the greatest service if they tell us
what un-American conditions make Americans
discontented with America and how these con
ditions may be corrected. That will be better
than invading the Bill of Rights.”

Lambs sold at the sale in Gain
esville last Tuesday, May 26th,
showed some definite improve
ments over the sale last year.
Prices were improved some and
the quality of lambs sold were
definitely improved.
1 Choice lambs average 83 pounds
each and brought $23.30 per hund
redweight, or an average of $19.34
I per lamb. Considering the fact
I that 5 ewes with lambs are equi
valent to one brood cow and calf,
this would be a return of $96.70,
I which is a real good income even
at the comparatively good prices
which beef cattle are bringing.
Lambs which graded "Good”,
weighing an average of 77 pounds
[each, sold for $20.50 per hundred
[ pounds and brought an average
of $15.78 per lamb.
I Lambs that were lighter than
i the above weights were sold for
| feeders and brought a top price
of $14.40 per hundred pounds.
The figures continue to point up
j the necessity of selling heavy
lambs. The only way that we in
.Forsyth County can do this is to
get our ewes bred early enough
[to drop their lambs in November
and December.
To do this, we must flush our
ewes in June and then turn the
lambs in with the ewes in early
July. The ewes, after flushing,
should be turned on the best pas
ture available and if it is not top
quality, then a small amount of
grain should be fed.
Ewes that continually produce
late lambs should be culled from
! the flock and never should we keep
a late lamb for adding to our
ewe flock.
| With proper management good
i lambs can be produced rather
cheaply in Forsyth County and at
a good profit.
