A School Teacher’s Prayers That
Saved Her School.
Many people have read of the
devastating cyclones that have in
their wild fury left so much desola
tion, grief and woe along their
wake in certain sections of south
east Alabama, yet there is one which
passed through this section on Jan
uary 11, 1918, in which God saw fit
to show His power and the cry of
his children are ever heard. Miss
Della Forrester is the teacher to
whom I refer, and I will give you
her exact words relative to the
cyclone: “I was born April 30, 1888;
I joined the church at Cedar Springs,
Houston county, Ala., and was bap
tized by Rev. W. P. Stewart. From
early childhood I had made up my
mind to be a teacher. In my plans,
and problems I put God first. While
teaching the school at Pleasant
Plains January 11, 1918, the wind
had been blowing all the forenoon
from the south very hard. At 1 p.
m. I resumed my work. I heard an
awful roaring noise. I went to the
door and I saw the cyclone coming,
and seemingly we were in its path.
I said nothing to the pupils, but
closed the door and then I went to
God. I prayer aloud to God to
spare us. It missed us; we were
saved.” In this cyclone homes were
destroyed, lives lost and others in
jured. This cyclone and its horrors
were brought out by many of the
Southern daily papers. Miss For
rester received many letters from
friends and strangers, one from a
Mr. Madema, who was then a sol
dier encamped at Oglethorpe, Ga.
He saw an account of the cyclone
and wrote her. They were strang
ers, yet the story of this cyclone
resulted in a beautiful romance that
concluded by marriage on July 8,
1919. Mrs. Madema says, “My
mother taught me to pray and I am
a firm believer in prayer.” Just be
fore it reached Pleasant Plain, the
cyclone completely demolished a
school house near Cowart’s, killing
one teacher and six or seven chil
dren. Mrs. Madema has been
teaching nineteen years, having
taught at Pleaasnt Plain seven years
and will teach there next year. Mrs.
Madema and her soldier husband

The Most Popular Candy
The old fashioned all-day sucker
is still America’s most popular can

manufacturers at the 48th annual
national confectioners’ association
convention held at Chicago.
Meeting the sucker demand is one
of the chief concerns of the candy
industry, E. E. Cahoon, manufac

been invented that turn out 400
suckers a minute, 192,000 a day

Big Increase in Food
Canning Industry
Now that more than half of the
nation’s population lives next door to
delicatessen stores one would ex
pect that every one is getting con
siderable practice with can openers.
During the last 25 years produc
tion of canned foods in the United
States has increased ijearly 500 per
cent, the number of cases packed
having risen from 41,000,000 in
1905 to 200,000,000 at present. The
wholesale value of the products of
the 2,800 companies engaged in the
industry is now $800,000,000 a
year and is expected soon to reach
the $1,000,000,000 mark.
The most important factor in this
increase in output has been the
shifting of population from the
country to the cities. In 1900 only
40 per cent of the people lived in
cities as compared to a present per
centage of 57. In the same period
urban population increased from 30,-
000,000 to 70,000,000.
Exports of canned foods have be
come an increasingly important
item, totaling $98,950,000, or one
eighth of the, total putput of canned
foods in 1928 as compared to a
yearly average of 30,172,000 from
1910 to 1914.

CAUSING OTHERS TO
STUMBLE
Romans 14:13-23
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
The Minneapolis Times said on
March 2, “Prohibition has come to
the forefront as the leading national
issue.” This was the opinion after
a poll had been taken. Administra
tion of Justice was second on the
list. Thus in giving attention to the
quarterly temperance lesson you are
but in harmony with the popular
study of the day.
Paul was writing to the Romans
from Corinth and took his illustra
tion from things that were taking
place in that city. Animals were
killed and certain parts only of
fered to idols in worship. The rest
NATION’S DEFICIT
MOUNTS HIGHER
Increase of Half Billion Due To
Falling Revenue.
After government finances had
been discussed by President Hoover
and his cabinet the white house ex
ecutive announced the national
debt would be increased $500,000,-
000 for the fiscal year ending June
30th because of falling revenue and
increased expenditures.
The deficit, a white house state
ment said, will be approximately
$900,000,000 to $950,000,000 for the
year. Os this amount, $440,000,-
000 will be due to the redemption
of the public debt required by law.
The deficit is due, it was said,
principally to a falling off in treas
ury receipts caused by the depres
sion.
These figures alone—a reduction
of $890,000,000 in receipts and an
increase of $540,000,000 in expen
ditures—would indicate that the
government would be over $1,430,-
000,000 behind last year.
America’s Unknown
War Dead Is 1,600
The great legion of “unknown”
soldiers whose sacrifices must go
unrecorded in the history of the
battlefields of France will add to
their ranks, within another year,
1,600 war dead of the American
army, definitely listed as unidenti
fied.
None of the unidentified will be
taken home, so that the unknown,
who lies at Arlington on the hillside
overlooking the Potomac, will be
the only one in America.
For 12 years American army of
ficers have been seeking to identify
the unknown dead. They were
able through identification of pock
et knives, clothing, teeth, trinkets
and letters to name hundreds. All
of their expert knowledge and abil
ity has been of no avail in the cases
of 1,619 bodies, however.
Yet there remains a possibility
that a few more will be known
before the work is discontinued.
Teeth charts have been made of all
these unknown dead, so that even
years from now there is a bare pos
sibility that one or more may be
known. Meanwhile they rest un
known.

was meat absolutely good for food.
Many Christians objected to eating
meat which had first been offered
to idols. The Apostle says that re
spect should be paid to personal
opinion and a thing omitted for the
sake of the good in another which
might not be any harm in itself.
He gave as a good reason for such
conduct: “For the kingdom of God
is not meat and drink, but righteous
ness, and peace, and joy in the
, Holy Spirit.” The question about
how much we will give up for the
sake of another centers around the
consideration of how much we really
' love our fellow man and desire his
i greatest good.
In the case of the beverage, use
'of liquor, the matter is decided dis
; ferent, for alcohol is always poison.
History does not contain a par
agraph that credits intoxicating
liquor with a single achievement
; that has benefitted mankind.
INTERESTING INFORMATION FROM THE
STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
HEAVY ENROLLMENT
OF 4-H CLUB BOYS
“Times may be hard for some
folks but not for 4-H club boys. On
May 22nd, 74 counties had made
reservations for 1,074 boys for the
1931 session of Camp Wilkins, the
State 4-H Club camp, at the State
College of Agriculture. At this rate,
107 county groups that attend Camp
W’ilkins this summer should bring
approximately 1,550 boys, which
would surpass the peak year of 1929
when 1,512 boys attended,”, states
Prof. A. S. Bussey, Assistant State
Boys’ 4-H Club Agent.
“The State 4-H Club Camp, which
provides an educational outing for
4-H club boys, runs for six weeks,
beginning July 20 and closing
August 29. Each county group of
boys stays for one week and receives
instruction along agricultural lines
in addition to supervised swimming,
plays and games and educational
tours. The county groups are organ
ized and brought to camp by the
County Agents.
“Robert Shaw, a 17 year old club
boy of Tift County, learned how to
run terraces last summer . while at
Camp Wilkins and says, ‘I have ter
raced 150 acres on the home farm,
300 acres on four other farms and
received $30.00 for doing the work’.”
THE COWPEA IS STILL
A POPULAR HAY CROP
Notwithstanding the growing popu
larity of soybeans, the cowpea is
still a common and popular hay
plant on the average Georgia farm.
The continued popularity of the cow
pea is due largely to its ability to
give fair to good yields on land ca
pable of producing about 15 bushels
of corn per acre.
Prof. E. D. Alexander, Extension
Agronomist at the Georgia State
College of Agriculture, points out
that even though the cowpea plant
will give fair yields with poor treat
ment it will respond to good cultural
methods as will other crops. The
soil should be thoroughly prepared
by plowing or discing. Deep plow
ing is not necessary. One to two
bushels of seed, germinating not less
than eighty per cent, should be drill
ed broadcast per acre. If seed ger
minate lower than eighty per cent,
a higher rate per acre should be
used. On soil capable of producing
twenty bushels of corn and above,
good yields can be gotten without
fertilizer, but on poorer land a good
application of manure or 100 pounds
limestone, or 150 to 200 pounds
superphosphate or 300 to 400 pounds
of basic slag should be profitable.
An ideal place for any hay or forage
crop is on land just previously im
proved by having a winter legume
crop turned under.
PREPARING WATER-
MELONS FOR MARKET
“Too much care and attention can
not be given in preparing water
melons for market. Especially will
this be true during the present sea
son,” says Prof. H. F. Burch, 'Re
search Specialist in Marketing at the
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
“The watermelon trade desires
melons that will average 24 pounds
or larger. Careful selection in the
field will make it possible to load
a car of even running sizes. A
watermelon which has been scratched
and bruised in hauling from the
field is hard to sell as are melons that
are diseased, illshaped, sunburned, or
green. The removal of all unusual
and undesirable melons should be ac
complished before the car is loaded.
In loading a car bedding at least 4
inches thick made of straw or ex
celsior should be provided. A modern
practice is to pad the ends of the car
with burlap. Some shippers use
heavy building paper as padding, but
this does not afford sufficient pro
tection as the melons that are in
contact with the sides of the car are
often scratched and bruised.
“In loading melons into the car a
tier pack should always be made.
Such varieties as Watson and Thur
mond Grays, weighing 22 pounds or
more on the average should be pack
ed four - layers deep; smaller melons
of the same variety—s deep; round
varieties like the Stone Mountain 3
deep.”
Prof. Burch lists as follows, some
of the more important things that
should be observed in preparing
watermelons for market:
1. Arrange melons in trucks or
wagons so that there will be no shift
ing of. the load.
2. Load direct from wagons or
trucks' into cars.
3. Do not ride or walk on melons.
4. Do not pick green melons.
5. Handle with care at all times.
6. Discard diseased, small and ill
shaped melons at the field.
7. Have inspection accomplished
while loading.
