NOTES FROM THE
BAPTIST CHURCH
Happy New Year to everybody.
Our beat wishes and prayers for you
during this New Year.
Sunday was clear but cold, and it
kept many from the Bible school.
However we had a fine school. Our
people are standing by the work in
a great way these days.
« s.'.
It was noticible the number of
teachers absent from the Bible school
last Sunday; but when we take into
consideration it was Christmas and
many were out of town and others
had company, we can account for
them. It might be possible to bring
the company to Bible school some
times.
♦ ♦ #
The morning congregation was
larger than was expected under the
conditions. Many strangers were in
the congregation, and came to church
with their hosts. Wish all others had
done likewise, who were visiting in
town and' were Baptists. We were
so glad to have every one of them.
Come again friends.
■* * *
The Sunday evening services was
unusually fine. The congregation
was not as large as it should have
been when you take into considera
tion it was the only service in town.
The weather was very cold and many
remained near the warm fire, but they
forgot we had one equally as good
in the church house. They missed
some first-class music and one of the
best sermons we have heard in a long
time. Brother Scott-Smith was at
his best. It was a great services.
The Christmas time is over. Every
body had a good time. Our people
were happy and tried to make others
happy. The town was quiet and the
people behaved excellent. There
was no drunkenness or rowdyism
that we know of. It showed how a
people can behave when they want
to. and the officers were on the job
to assist those who did not care to be
nice. The Lord be praised for a
quiet and happy place to live and
enjoy life.

The flower committee forgot to put
i fresh flowers in the church Sunday
I morning. It is the first time since
I we came that there were not a great
■ number of fine fresh flowers in the
'church. You are excused, ladies, it
| was Christmas.
* * *
Next Sunday morning will be a
I service of great importance. It will
i be the first Sunday in the New Year,
and many will want to start right,
jit will be Consecration service, and
! many will want to re-consecrate
their lives to the service of their
Lord and Master. It will be the ob
servance of the Memorial Supper,
and many will want to participate
in it to show their love and fellow
ship with the risen Lord. It will be
the most important service this
I church has observed in the last few
| months.
♦ * *
We are standing on the threshold
of a New Year. What kind of re
solutions are you going to make?
Do not forget to include the church
service and the prayer service on
; Wednesday evening. It will be a
i mistake to leave God out of your
I plan.
• * *
In the near future the pastor in
i tends to preach on the Second
Coming of the Lord. It is a subject
little talked and less thought of. A
few facts will remind you of His
(Coming back to earth to gather up
' his own.

i secration services. We want you
'and will be most happy to have you.

too. But one great advantage we
had Jesus with us in all our sorrows,
and the days of joy were many more
than the days of sorrow, more sun
shine than clouds. Thank God for
1925, and all its blessings. Good
bye, you are like everything earthly,
you will never come this way again.

GROWERS WARNED
TO TEST SEED
1 .
Georgia Cotton Growers Are
Requested to Take Notice.
Georgia’s cutton growers will take
i note of a warning issued by the
I United States Department of Agri
culture to Texas, Arkansas an-i
Oklahoma growers, that the 192 i
| cotton crop in those states may prov
a failure unless good tested seed
are used in planting.
The crop advice says that unfav
orable seasonal conditions during the
growing and harvesting of the crop
last season are believed to have re
sulted in serious injury to seed
stocks intended for planting pur
poses in 1926.
While many farmers know that
much of the seed counted on for
planting is probably of low vitality,
says the bulletin, there may not be
a full realization of the possible
danger of the coming crop.
By means of what is termed a
“simple” test, substantially the sam»
as the so-called “rag doll” seed
test, widely recommended by the
department for seed corn, a farmer
can ascertain in five days the con
dition of his planting seed and
thus avoid the serious losses that
would result from planting seed of
low vitality.
Under the heading, “Methods of
Testing,” the bulletin gives direction
as follows:
“To test cotton seed by the “rag
doll” method, an ordinary towel or
piece of muslin about 18 inches
wide and two or three feet long is
used. The cloth should be spread
out and marked off lengthwise into
three sections so that the two sides
can be folded over and made to
meet at the center, then two lots of
one hundred seeds each should be
counted out and spread in two dif
ferent. parts of the middle section
or portion of the towel. The sides
of the towel are then folded over
so that the edges meet in the cen
ter, covering the seed completely.
The cloth should be pressed down
firmly and then rolled up, a cori
cob or piece of broom handle be
ing used for a core. The “doll” made
in this fashion is tied in the middle
with a string and then given a
soaking in lukewarm water for sev-
I eraD minutes until it is wet through.
' After draining off the surplus mois
j ture so that it will not drip or be
come saturated at the bottom, the
‘doll’ is placed where it can be
kept warm and moist. It should be
left for five days in a temperature
of about 50 degrees during the day
and 60 degrees at night. It should
not be placed near a window where
| it is likely to get too cool, nor near
i the fire where it may become to<
warm. Moisture should be added
by sprinkling each day and npt by
soaking.
“At the end of five days unroll the
‘doll’ and count the number of
sprouted seeds in each of the two
lots. The healthy seeds will send
out white root beginnings less than
half an inch long. The number
of the well-sprouted seeds in each
lot represents the percentage of
good seed. Good planting seed
should germinate at least 75 per
cent. If the seeds send out sprouts
which are not healthy it would be
well to send a sample of the seed
to the state experiment station for
a more accurate test of its value.
“With this knowledge the farmer
can decide for himself whether the
seed which he plans to use is fit.
I how thickly it must be planted to
provide a normal stand, and how
I large a stock should be reserved for
I re-planting.”
Premature planting, concludes the
, advice, is the danger that should be
‘ borne in mind by the farmer, par
‘ ticularly in view of the scarcity
lof good seed stocks. Early planting
,is always preferable to late plant
i ing, because the growth that plants
| make during moderate weather in
I the spring months is more apt to
ibe normal.
