THE FARMER’S SONG
(By Rosalyn I’rager, Miami, Fla.)
Wave that shining cycle
Cut the golden grain
Spring has left her emblem
Summer is here again.
Reap the wheat in golden sheaves
Make the corn sway in the breeze
Clear the field of fresh green leaves
Shade it by the entwined trees.
Let the cotton burst its pods
Like the flowers in our yards
Let the ground beneath it grow,
Let the water flow and flow.
Oh, the autumn harvest time
Sends forth its merriment into
rhyme,
Where cornfields are golden, an<l
cotton rows are long;
We will sing “The Farmer’s Song”.

dents of all clubs in the Georgia
Federaton of Women’s Clubs, from
Mrs. Thurman Whatley, of Reynolds,
chairman of library service, asking
every club to observe Feb. 22 or some
date near that time as Library Day.

for workers in all walks of life In
which to improve themselves through
reading and study as well as to enjoy
reading as a form of recreation. In
dividual public libraries must be ade
quate to meet local needs, more club
libraries must be organized in the
smaller centers, school libraries must
be extended to serve the community
and the state library commission must
be strengthened and its services in
creased.

county library law at the next session
