MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO
HANDLE THE CHILD
Studies Conducted at the State
College of Agriculture.
Recent studies of the frequency
and circumstances of anger outbursts
in young children indicate that the
most frequent cause of anger in pre
school children is conflict with auth
ority. Conflict with associates takes
second place, and desire for self
assertion ranks third in the frequency
with which it arouses anger in chil
dren. The outbursts are nearly al
ways directed definitely toward per
sons rather than toward things, says
Dr. Dorothea McCarthy, Child Psy
chologist of the Georgia State College
of Agriculture.
Children who had frequent anger
outbursts were compared with those
who seldom become angry with the
methods of control used by those in
charge were then analyzed for both
groups. The results indicate that the
method of “ignoring” is used most
frequently by parents in both groups.
The parents of children who have
the least frequent outbursts usually
continue the method to the end re
gardless of the duration of the out
burst. The parents of the children
who had the most frequent out
bursts were found to be in the habit
of resorting to other methods of con
trol when the outburst was not termi
nated after a short period of “ignor
ing”. Dr. McCarthy says “ignoring”
seems to be used by some parents
not so much as a conscious method
of control as a means of avoiding
responsibility up to a point at which
the situation becomes actively an
noying.
“Reasoning” is the method which
ranks next in frequency of use, but
it appears to be a comparatively
unsatisfactory method for the chil
dren of preschool ages. It is very
likely to be combined with some other
method. Several other methods of
control were also studied but none
appeared to be as effective as those
mentioned above. The order of fre
quency with which they were report
ed was “diverting attention,” “sooth
ing”, “removing source of trouble”,
and “doing what was wanted.”
The conclusion seems to be justi
fied on the basis of the results of this
study that the gaining of emotional
control is subject to essentially the
same laws of learning as are other
forms of behavior. The child who
gains satisfaction as a result of the
outburst is far more likely to repeat
it than the one to whom such behavior
commonly fails to yield satisfaction.

THE RESURRECTION AND THE
ASCENSION
Luke 24:25-40; 5-51
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
First read the accounts in all the
gospels and work out an itinerary
for all the people named in the
lesson. Very early after the Jewish
Sabbath was over, a group of named
women go forth to the tomb where
the body of Jesus had been placed
late Friday afternoon that they
might complete the embalming for
which there had not been time at
the burial. On the way they raise
the problem about how the heavy
stone can be rolled back from the
mouth of the sepulchre. As is often
the case, advance worry never ac
complishes anything and with bless
ed frequency the supposed trouble
is removed before we arrive. Mean-
SOFT DRINKS SAFE
IF TESTED BY U. S.
11,000,000,000 Bottles and Glasses
Soft Drinks Consumed Annually.
To quench the great American
thirst, 11,000,000,000 bottles and
glasses of soft drinks are consumed
every year—enough to fill a giant
bottle as wide at the base as a city
block and twice as high as the Em
pire State building, the world’s tall
est structure. This means that, if
you are a law-abiding citizen in
good health between 8 and 80, you
probably will drink an average of
one glassful a day during the three
hot summer months.
Are these sweet, fizzling fluids as
wholesome and harmless as they
look and taste? In most cases, you
may ’rest assured that they are.
The government sees to that. They
are tested and approved (or con
demned) by government experts.
Because soft drinks contain a small
percentage of food value, they come
under the control of the United
States food and drug administra
tion, which maintains a staff of 530
administrative officers, chemists and
other specialists. It is part of their
job to analyze your soft drinks,
even if they consist of nothing
but charged water, writes George
Lee Dowd, Jr., in the July Popular
Science Monthly.
Unfortunately, the federal author
ities, under the law, have control
only over bottled beverages and
syrups that are shipped from state
to state, but lack the power to test
those that are sold in the state
where they are made. A glance at
cap and label of a soft drink drink
bottle will tell you in what class
a beverage belongs. ,
Jealously guarding both your
health and your pocketbook, the
government insists on “realism” in
the pictures on the labels. The au
thorities have laid down a hard and
fast rule that the manufacturer of a
fruit drink cannot display a picture
of a fruit on his label unless the
drink actually contains the juice
of that fruit. One manufacturer
had been using a picture of a lus
cious looking orange on his label
for many years, and describing his
drink as containing the juices of
oranges and orange peels. He was
ordered either to change his label or
add genuine fruit juices to his
product. Rather than destroy the
value of his trademark, he is now
spending more than SIOO,OOO a year
for the real juices.
Sharing the popularity of fruit
juices, root beers, and other “soda
pops” are the cola drinks. Here is
a question thousands have been ask
ing for years: Do they really con
tain a narcotic? They do, but very
little of it. In addition to sweeting,
acids, and carbonated water, they
contain the juices of the coca leaf
and the cola nut. For the leaves,
the manufacturers have to send to
South America, while the nuts come
all the way from Africa. And all
that to give you that little “kick”
in your drink!
The coca leaf contains the mor-
while the resurrection of the body
of Jesus had taken place and an an
gel was there to make the precious
announcement.
As Mary Magdalene tarried near
the open tomb hunting for the body
He appeared to her, even as he did
to others that day and in all about
fifteen times during the coming for
ty days. In the late afternoon the
event took place which is recorded
in the lesson text. As a familiar
friend He drew near to walk and
talk with the two on their way to
Emmaus, a few miles from Jerusa
lem. He became known to them
when He asked the blessing upon the
food after being persuaded to sup
with them. This glorious news was
taken to the ten in Jerusalem that
night, when He came into their
midst. After giving that standing
commission about preaching the
Gospel everywhere He departed
from them at Bethany and returned
to His rightful place on the Throne
with the Father in heaven.
CIRCULATION OF
MONEY INCREASES
May Shows Gain of 35 Cents Per
Capita Over April.
The U. S. treasury reports that
per capita circulation of money in
creased 35 cents in May over April.
Money in circulation last month
was $4,702,283,712. This was equal
to $37.66 per person as against
$37.31 the previous month.
Total money in the United States,
including gold coin and buillion held
by the treasury, was $8,781,382,173
on May 31. The treasury held a
total of $3,666,3331,951 of gold
coin and bullion.
3,500 Due to Drown,
9,000 to Die in Auto
Crashes in 3 Months
By the law of averages 3,500 per
sons are to drown and some 9,000
will be killed in auto accidents in
the next three months.
These are the figures announced
by the American Motorists Associa
tion in warning motorists of vacation
day perils. The computations are
based on ten-year Census Bureau
averages for June, July and August.
The association said there were
30,000 automobile fatalities last
year, of which about 9,600 occurred
in the summer months. Os the 3,-
500 persons who drown during the
summer months, the association said
the majority were unaccustomed to
the perils of swimming and bathing
in unfamiliar - waters.

INTERESTING INFORMATION FRO V THE
STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
THE COST OF COTTON
PRODUCTION IN GEORGIA
Athens, Ga.—The farmer’s esti
mate on how much it costs to pro
duce a pound of cotton varies wide
ly because the actual cost fluctu
ates widely under the many condi
tions of production. Prof. E. C.
Westbrook, Cotton and Tobacco
Specialist of the Georgia State Col
lege of Agriculture says: “If we
should ask every Georgia farmer we
meet how much it cost him to grow
cotton, we would get answers which
would range from 5 or 7 cents to 40
cents per pound. This is not sur
prising or unusual, for the produc
tion cost does vary greatly on dif
ferent farms. The factor which has
the biggest effect on cost production
is yield per acre. The farmer who
produces a bale of cotton per acre
has a lower cost per pound than the
farmer who produces only one half
bale per acre. Therefore, when we
say that the 1930 cotton crop cost
the Georgia farmer 14 cents per
pound to grow, we mean |hat this is
an average of all the farmers. The
average yield for Georgia last year
was 197 pounds of lint per acre,
which was the highest • acre yield
Georgia has had since 1915.”
“Although the average yield was
197 pounds of lint per acre, some
farmers made less than 100 pounds
per acre, while others made an av
erage of a bale per acre. Because
of this big variation in yield per
acre, the cost of production varied
from 8 cents to 40 cents per pound
of lint on the different farms.
•“The average per acre cost in
Georgia to grow last year’s cotton
crop is calculated to be $32.10. On
some farms, this cost was much
higher, while on others it was lower,
but the $32.10 represents as near as
we can figure the average per acre
cost for all farms. The average
gross sales per acre from cotton at
10c per pound and $22.00 per ton
for seed was $24.30 or $7.80 per
acre less than he should have re
ceived for labor and capital em
ployed at normal rates. The U. S.
Bureau of Crop Estimates estimated
that Georgia had 3,906,000 acres of
cotton in cultivation on July Ist.
This would mean that the Georgia
farmers sold the 1930 cotton crop
for $30,000,000 less than they
should have received for it.
“While some farmers produced
cotton on small areas of rich land
at very low cost, farmers should
not take this to mean that the cost
was very low on all the crop. Large'
economic yields are possible only on
good land. Unfortunately Georgia
has a large amount of land which is
too poor to grow cotton profitably.
This same thing is true for most of
the other cotton states. Before
many of our fields will produce
profitable yields of cotton, much
soil building will be required.
“According to the U. S. Bureau
of Crop Estimates, the average yield
of lint cotton per acre for Georgia
for the last ten years was 134
pounds, the lowest of all the cotton
states except Florida. This is a
terrible situation. To correct it
will require the hearty co-operation
of the- farmers, business men and
bankers, and others interested in a
better agriculture.
“Let us look at our cotton figures
for the last ten years. The average
price for cotton during this period
was 18.8 cents per pound, according
to the- U. S. Department of Agricul
ture. The average cost of produc
tion for the Georgia farmer for this
ten year period, according to the
best available records which we
have and those of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, was approxi
mately 20.8 cents per pound of lint.
Therefore, for the last ten years the
Georgia farmer has sold his cotton
on an average of 2 cents per pound
less than if cost him to grow it. This
would mean an annual return of
$2.68 per acre less than he should
have received for labor and capital
employed at normal rates or $26.80
per acre for the ten year period.
“We do not know of any other
business which could stand such a
heavy loss. These figures should
convince us that we will have to
produce cotton cheaper if we expect
to compete successfully with all sec
tions of the cotton belt.
“The Georgia State College of
Agriculture, through five years of
the Five Acre Cotton Contest, has
shown how to cut cost of produc
tion. Not all of the contestants had
a low production cost, because not
all of them had high yields. While
some of them produced cotton at a
very low cost because of big yields,
it cost others as high as 28 cents per
pound last year to grow cotton on
their five acres, because of the
very low yield. Each farmer in the
contest kept a detailed record of all
of the cost on the Five Acres and
the records were sworn to. We still
have confidence in the integrity of
the Georgia farmer. The figures
are not ours, we only tabulated and
summarized them. Each farmer’s
record is published in the bulletins
giving results of the contest regard
less of whether he had a big or
small yield, or whether he had low
or high cost. Various people have
written articles in which part of
the contest data was used, but for
those who really desire to obtain all
the facts, they should write to the
College for bulletins containing the
complete story. To take only a
small part of the data from the
contest results and try to apply it
to the state as a whole is obviously
incorrect.
“The records of 1102 Georgia
farmers on the cost of cotton pro
duction over a five year period show
that when the acre yield was 1 1-2
bales per acre, the average cost of
production was 6.8 cents per pound,
when the average yield was one bale
per acre the cost was 13 cents per
pound, and when the average yield
was 150 pounds the production cost
was 20 cents per pound. These fig
ures should give us a clear picture
of what is necessary to produce
cheap cotton. We have tried to
give the situation of the Georgia
farmer for the last ten years. He is
a sick man, but he can get well if
he will take the right medicine. Will
he do it?”
