CHURCH NEWS ANNOUNCEMENTS
THE BLAKELY
BAPTIST CHURCH
SPENCER B. KING, Pastor
1937!—A new year is with us. Will
we make it a better year than 1936?
We can if we will. Why not make
a New Year Resolution like this:
WHEREAS: My Church needs my
presence both at Sunday School and
in the Morning and Evening Services,
and WHEREAS: Others are being
influenced by my negligence, and
WHEREAS: I need the blessing
which will come to me as I engage in
Bible Study and Worship, THERE
FORE I RESOLVE TO ATTEND
these services EVERY SUNDAY in
1937 unless providentially hindered.
For three months the Sunday
School lessons, the Prayer Meeting
topics and both Morning and Evening
Sermon Texts will be from the Gospel
of JOHN, the best part of the best
Book in all the world. Let’s get
acquainted with JOHN.
For next Sunday, the Sunday
School lesson is on “The Son of God
Becomes Man”, and there is an at
traction in the very title that should
fill every class at 9:45. The morning
sermon, based on John 20:21, is “The
Goal of the Gospel”, and at the even
ing hour, 7:00, “The Satisfying Sav
iour”, John 6:35. Let us start the
New Year right!
On Monday our ladies will have
the most important meeting of the
year. They meet at the Church at
3:00 p. m. and after a Devotional,
conducted by the new President, Mrs.
W. W. Fleming, the Circles will go
to separate rooms (the church will
be made comfortable) and choose
their Chairman and other officers,
a ‘name’ for themselves and other
wise plan their work for the year.
It is hoped that every one of our
women and the younger ones who
have not heretofore been active will
be present.
The Training Unions on Sunday
evening at 6:00 p. m. and the Sun
beams Monday at 3:00 p. m. and
Prayer Meeting on Wednesday even
ing at 7:00 p. m. complete the list
of announcements.

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
1936 Has Been
Good Year for P. C.
Associations
Columbia, S. C.—The year 1936
has been an excellent one for the
production credit association of
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, according to
Ernest Graham, president of the Pro
duction Credit Corporation of Co
lumbia, who said yesterday that the
volume of business done by the as
sociations during the year was the
greatest since their organization
three years ago and that all of the
associations had finished the year
in fine shape.
Loans to farmers of the four states
through the production credit system
during the three years totalled ap
proximately $38,000,000, said Mr.
Graham. Over 120,000 loans to grow
crops and raise livestock and for
other farm purposes were made, this
district leading all other districts in
the United States in the number of
farmers served.
The volume of business done by
the associations has increased each
year, Mr. Graham said, the loans for
1934, the first year they operated,
totaling approximately $9,000,000.
In 1935 the total jumped to $13,-
000,000, while in 1936 the loans
totalled approximately $16,000,000.
North Carolina associations led in
the volume of loans for the three
years with a total of approximately
$12,500,000. Georgia and South
Carolina were close together with
approximately $10,000,000 each.
Mr. Graham said that the steady
growth of the associations offered
eloquent proof of the fact that the
farmers are appreciative of the short
term credit service offered them by
these organizations and that one of
the outstanding factors of their de
velopment over the past two years
has been the adherence of substantial
farmers attracted by the business
like manner which they were being
operated.
“The farmers of North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,”
said Mr. Graham, “have demonstrat
ed that they are substantial and re
liable customers by the splendid re
payment record they have made.
Every association in the district
closed its business last year with un
impaired capital and I am sure that
this record will be maintained this
year.”
The annual meetings of the pro
duction credit associations of the
four states will be held during Janu
ary and over 40,000 farmers are ex
pected to attend them.
o’clock at Sardis.
Service Sunday night at six-thirty
o’clock at Langston.
I want to ask all who possibly
can to help on the Orphans Home
contribution. Those who can, will
you please bring your contribution
to church Sunday? Any small amount
will be a help to them. We would
like to carry a good record from
the whole circuit as to how well our
baskets of supplies were sent to
those poor orphans.
The Langston Aid Society will
meet Friday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Henry Hayes at two-thirty
o’clock. Let’s see how many We
can have at our meeting.

CONSTIPATION, BILIOUSNESS
Georgia Farmers
Harvested Bumpier
Cash Crop in 1936
Georgia farmers are facing the
new year with better ideas of the
state’s agricultural possibilities, gain
ed from developments of the last
twelve months, when they harvest
ed a bumper crop for their 1936
products, reports the Associated
Press.
In a year which included weeks
of crop-withering drought in many
sections, the farmers of the state
had an income estimated by W. L.
Stone, director of the State Bureau
of Markets, at over $268,000,000,
the best since 1929.
Among the factors which prom
ised an equally successful new year
for farmers were:
Livestock production, which was
championed on an almost state-wide
basis by various federations of coun
ty associations, bankers, 4-H Clubs
and civic organizations.
Slash Pine Forests, once consid
ered only a source of timber and
naval stores, took on new value with
the establishment of a paper mill at
Savannah, which uses pine in its op
erations, and the beginning of a
pulp mill at Brunswick.
Wine makers, anxious to expand
their production of Georgia-made
beverages, clamored for more ber
ries and wine-making fruits to be
grown.
Sea Island cotton, whose valuable
long fibre staple nearly went out of
existence, began to claim guidance
of agronomists, who worked to im
prove its growing qualities and to
render it less prone to depredations
of the boll weevil.
Growing of tung trees, the nuts of
which provide an oil valuable in
paint making, arranged to establish
a crushing mill at Cairo, in South
west Georgia, where soil and climate
conditions are conducive to tung
tree growth. Most tung oil now
i used in America is imported from
' China.
Tobacco, the golden weed, put
more than $18,000,000 into farm
ers’ pockets in Georgia during the
sales season in August and im
mediately business throughout the
tobacco belt felt the stimulus of
new cash.
Even as long-delayed rains, which
came just in time, restored many a
drought-stunted crop to almost nor
mal, so did the agricultural pros
perity of the state bring with it a
, revival of the agricultural fairs.
In many a county, where the fair
had become almost a forgotten in
situation, it was brought to life
again.
Along with the diverse farming
program over the state, new forces
were marshaled by the federal gov
ernment and state agencies to com
bat the menace of soil erosion.
Demonstration projects gave farm
ers valuable object lessons in what
can be accomplished in checking
soil losses, and the work was carried
on by the individual farmers and
through terracing associations.
Farm to market roads, built under
the direction of the Works Progress
Administration, and a system of
state farmers’ markets, aided grow
ers ini getting their crops in the
hands of consumers.
Through both privately-owned pub
lic utilities and the federally-sponsor
ed Rural Electrification Administra
tion, power lines branched out from
the more populous area to bring light
and power and city conveniences to
rural dwellers.
The Georgia Power Company an
nounced a $4,000,000 line expansion
program and the R. E. A., through
co-operative associations who bor
rowed the necessary funds on long
term loans provided for the string
ing of 1,490 miles of lines at a cost
of more than $1,500,000.
Facilities for handling livestock
expanded with a new $500,000
Cudahy packing plant at Albany; a
new SIOO,OOO Swift & Company
plant at Augusta, and reopening of
a packing plant at Tifton. These
augmented already existent plants.
But meat production was not the
sole objective of the livestock pro
gram, for the production of work
stock, through imported breeding
stock, also was emphasized as a
means of retaining in Georgia many
thousands of dollars now expended
in buying mules and horses out-of
state.
The state’s progress was meas
ured too in unusual residential and
business construction; bigger bank
businesses, increased earnings by |
companies and corporations, and
larger postal receipts.
Simeon D. Fess, ex-Senator from j
Ohio, died suddenly of a heart at-j
tack in Washington last week. He i
was 75 years old.
