CUSTOMER ALSO
HAD GOOD MEMORY
Moultrie, Aug. 20—Charles Lan
sing, rural store keeper, has al
ways had a good memory, and the-
belief that most people will pay
their debts.
A woman went to his tore a day
or so ago and handed him $27 r
stating, “We will never forget how
you helped us out a mighty tight
spot by extending credit when we
couldn’t get it elsewhere-’’
The incident, Lansing recalled,
occurred in the summer of 1931,
the year tobacco sold for an aver
age of $7.20 per hundred on the
Moultrie market.

Harp Gholson and their nephew, Mr. Billy Booth stand beside young
on their farm a few years ago in connection with the Soil
Pine Trees Thrive on
Land Too Sandy For
Cultivation Purposes
To make a sound soil conserva
tion plan it is necessary to put on
the land what it is best adapted
for and this was followed out in
the county conservation plan. ,
Upon checking over conservation
survey map furnished by super
visors of the Middle Western Oc-
mulgee River District of which
Taylor county is a member of cer
tain fields were found to be too
sandy for cultivation and were
marked for pine trees totaling
about 22 acres. ,
But the Gholson Brothers were
ahead of the district on this item
as they had already begun plant
ing slash pines in some of their
sandy land. The above photo
shows a portion of a 4-acre tract
set out in pines by them in 1939
and their growth speaks for itself.
As a part of its coordinated pro-
gram the Soil Conservation Service,
undertakes to assist farmers in'
developing farm woodlands as pro
during units of farms. Farmers, i
foresters and loggers gerierailly
think in terms of stumpage as at
measure of the income from thei
forest lands—that is, the net value
of the wood crop as it stands in the
woods. This «philosophy is ap
plicable on large tracts of land,
but generally not to farmers’
woods. Most farmers do not sell
their wheate, cotton, or corn on
the stalk, but find it advantagous
to prepare their products for
market. The greater part of the
farmer’s income is in marketing
the labor he expends in growihg
aid harvesting farm products. The
farmer’s return above the value of
his labor is usually a small part
of his total income. This is espec
ially true in tree case of woodland
products. i
To operate the farm woodland
with the regard to good economy,
means acceptance of the idea of a
productive woods managed as one
the farm crops where a wood har
vest in winter becomes as much
a part of a farm calendar as a hay
harvest in summer-
Farmers in this county have
planted thousands of pine trees,
but it will take thousands more

Savannah, Aug. 17 — Georgia
editors wound up a sometimes tur
bulent 60th annual convention
Saturday by reelecting President
A- Belmont Dennis and then limit
ing future presidents of the Geor
gia Press Association to one year
terms.
Dennis, publisher of the Coving
ton News and four other weekly-
papers, defeated E. T. Methvin,
publisher of the Eastman Times
Journal and son of the late C. M.
Methvin, former president of the
GPA.
J. W. Norwood of the Lowndes
County News, was named vice
president and Leodel Coleman,
publisher of he Bulloch Herald at
Statesboro, treasurer. Norwood de
feated Ed Hall of the Walker
County Messenger. Coleman was
unopposed.
Norwood succeeds Adjt. General
Marvin Griffin, publisher of the
Bainbridge Post Searchlight who
resigned the vice presidency when
he began his unsuccessful cam
paign for lieutenant governor.
Coleman succeeds Roy McGinty
Sr., of Calhoun-
Dennis was the first GPA presi
dent to face opposition. Previously
the president had been elected to
a second term unopposed and had
not been a candidate for a third
term.
In addition to limiting the pres
idency to one year, the editors also
changed the by-laws of the asso
ciation to provide for a 15-man
board of directors, instead of eight
members as at present.
The board will be composed of
the president, vice president,
treasurer, field secretary, and
immediate past president of the
association plus 5 members ap
pointed by the president for one-
year terms and five members
named to serve two years.
The association also amended
the by-laws to provide that any
officer of the association who is
elected or appointed to any state
or federal job except the state
legislature shall automatically
lose his office.
The convention also voted that
the field secretary be paid an an
nual salary set by the board of
managers, instead of drawing a
commission on advertising con
tracts secured for members. The
field secretary was also prohibited
from engaging in any publicity or
advertising business outside the
association and from active par
ticipation in political campaigns.
Field Secretary Sid Williams
had been attacked by Roy McGin
ty, treasurer of the association, for
his part in the gubernatorial cam
paign of Jas. C. Carmichael and
for continuing his publicity and
advertising work while employed

Mills B- Lane Jr., president of
the Citizens and Southern Na
tional Bank, told the editors at a
breakfast given by the bank that
nationalization of banks in Eng
land and other European coun
tries was “the most terrible thing
that has happened in the history
of banking.”
Banks, Lane said, “supply the
money and credit to keep business
going, and wnen you socialize
money you socialize business.”
