Permanent Pastures
Gain Favor Os
Georgia Farmers
_____
Athens, Ga.—ls immediate action
is taken, Georgia farmers may yet
successfully establish needed perma
nent pastures, according to The Uni
versity of Georgia Agricultural Ex
tension service. During February
and early March, reports from coun
ty farm agents indicate, many acres
rented under reduction contracts
were seeded to permanent pastures.
The Extension service has issued
the following information on this
step towards an improved farming
plan:
On lands being cleared for the
first time a sufficiency of timber to
prevent excess shading and water
competition should be removed. The
undergrowth should be destroyed and
the soil cleaned of little so that the
seed many come into contact with
moist soil, germinating quickly.
Plowing or discing is necessary on
ly when there are present plants that
are difficult to kill. This phase is
important for next year’s pastures
since the fall or winter is the period
for this operation. Land sown to
small grain last fall is now in ideal
condition for seeding to permanent
pastures.
Seeding recommendations are: In
south Georgia—in the Costal Plain
region—use 10 to 15 pounds of les
pedeza, four to five pounds of car
pet grass, and three to four pounds
of Dallis grass per acre.
Detailed information may be ob
tained from local county farm agents.

METHODIST WOMAN’S
MISSIONARY SOCIETY
The Missionary Society met at
the church at 3 p. m. on the 26th
inst., (a postponed meeting), Mrs.
) W. J. Grist, President, in the chair.
I Mrs. T. S. Chandler offered the open
; ing prayer, the devotional being led
)by Mrs. Iva Herring. Mrs. W. C.
j Cox, in charge of Prayer Groups,
) reported that the Groups had func
: tioned during the Quarter, and pre
sented an original poster showing a
i Prayer Acrostic. “The Last Sup
i per,” that heart-searching little poem
■by Helen Welchimer, was read by
i Mrs. Grist. The minutes of the
February meeting were read by Mrs.
i Holt Darden, Secretary, followed by
a report from the Treasurer, Mrs.
, W. R. Stewart, of the receipts from
the recent Tacky Party of $22.60 on
i our piano fund, less a very small
■ amount for expenses, and which in
I addition furnished an evening of
i clean fund and hilarity which was
' enjoyed by all present.
The matter of Octagon Soap wrap
| pers and coupons was again taken up
! (also quite a number of the wrap
j pers themselves) and we were ad-
I jured to keep the trail hot for them,
)as they mean quite a lot to the
j comfort of those dependent little
) folks at our Orphans’ Home. It’s
marvelous what wonders can be
! wrought through the exchange of
I these wrappers and coupons, so
! pursue them on foot, by auto, by tel
| ephone, by tel-a-woman (your wash
j er-woman can probably “lend you
the loan” of quite a number of them
which you can make good to her aft
er our own quest is accomplished).
) Turn these over to Mrs. Carl Fryer
or to your Circle Chairman. We don’t
j want these boys and girls so straight
j ened for home comforts that they’ll
! feel like the woman who, importuned
;by a real estate salesman to buy a
| home, replied: “Why should I buy a
i home? 1 was born in a hospital;
i reared in a boarding school; edu-
I cated in a college; courted in an an-
Itomobile; married in a church; get
my meals in a cafeteria; live in an
apartment; spend my mornings
playing golf; my afternoons playing
j bridge; my evenings dancing or in
the movies; when I’m sick 1 go to a
hospital; when I die I shall be buried
| from an undertaker’s. All I need is
i a garage and a bedroom. I don’t
i need a home.” Pitiful, isn’t it? To
grow up without the endearing in
fluences and associations of a
home. Let’s help make one for
these children.
The South Ga. Cons. Missionary
i Society convenes in Columbus April
3-6, to which Mrs. Holt Darden was
elected a delegate, and it is hoped
that others will also attend. Mrs. P.
D. Dußose and Mrs. Joe Hamil com
j pose the Bereavement Committee for
i April, and the Bessie Oliver Circle
I will decorate the church for the
Easter services. Reports were heard
from Circle Chairmen.
Mrs. J. H. Moye, Supt. of Bible
Study, presented this subject, stress
| ing its importance to us individual
ly and also as a Council require
ment. Mrs. Grist expressed her de
sire that every member of our So
ciety (or church) be a member of,
this study class. The book selected
for study is “The Missionary Mes
, sage of the Bible,” by Dr. E. F. Cook,
) a member of our own Conference,
himself a minister’s son and with a
I younger sister in the foreign field,
I so naturally (and by grace) his heart
is full of this subject, the Master’s
sole business on earth, and whatever
he writes should be well worth our
study. Any member not present but
who wants a book, would do well to
see Mrs. Moye right away, for she
wants to send her order promptly. '
Two or three in the same neighbor- 1
) hood could buy a book together, )
making the price less to each. The h
closing prayer was offered by Mrs.
Moye.
Upon Mrs. Whitehead’s invitation)’
the entire body, thirty-four in num- j
ber, repaired to the Parsonage, I
where we were given a “look-see” of |
the interior, primarily the kitchen, |
recently “done over” by our pas- j
tor’s wife in person. She claims j
to be “incurably domestic,” and if ) |
by chance any husband should read I
this I know he hopes the “disease” I
is contagious and that his own wife I
will be thoroughly exposed to it! |
Any cook who has the privilege of I
concocting meals within those pale 1 1
green walls, the bright sun shining [|
through the sheer golden curtains, 11
should raise a hymn of gratitude for [ |
her surroundings to the “Lord of I j
all pots and pans!” (And the in-)!
cumbent hand-maiden confided to I
me that I sho’ did express her senti-) S
ments!) Mrs. Moye poured tea, j
while Mrs. Whitehead, assisted by I]
Miss Elizabeth, the daughter of the 1|
parsonage, and her guest, Miss Heidt, I
a fellow-student at Wesleyan, served:!
delicious sandwiches and cakes, and) I
our pastor himself added to the j ]
good cheer of the hour by his happy )i
greetings. 1

PWA STARTS SEARCH
FOR GEORGIA GOLD
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
Gold and other mineral resources
of Georgia will be investigated be
ginning the last week in March by
the U. S. Geological Survey under
the Public Works Funds, according
to State Geologist Richard W. Smith.
Georgia’s many gold properties,
which prior to 1849 were the most
productive in the United States, will
be visited and the undeveloped gold
properties will be examined as far
as funds will permit by Dr. Roy A.
Wilson of Chicago, a geologist of
world wide experience. The charac
teristics and methods of occurrence
of the gold veins, as exposed by min
ing and prospecting work now in
operation, will be studied for infor
mation concerning the future of gold
mining in Georgia.
