ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM OFFICE OF
-:- THE COUNTY AGENT -:-
GRANT OF AID—
The time for accepting applica
tions for grant Os aid for securing
Austrian peas, superphosphate, and
ground limestone will close within
the next few days. If this particu
lar case is not an exception, which I
don’t think it will be, we will be
stormed with applications for these
materials after the closing date. It
seems to be the habit of many peo
ple to wait until after the closing
date to take action on such things.
Then they storm the office with all
kinds of attempts to get us to
change the rules and regulations
which we do not make and cannot
change. If you have not already
made your plans for earning your
soil-building allowances, I would sug
gest that you do so immediately and
if you find that you have not other
wise planned to take up this fund,
it would be advisable to make ap
plication for ground limestone, Aus
trian peas, or superphosphate.
OUTLOOK FOR CASH INCOME
IS NONE TOO BRIGHT —
The present outlook for the cash
income for the farmer is none too
bright. Prices have been going
down instead of up. In times like
these, the safest plan for any farm
er to follow is to produce an ade
quate supply of food, feed, and seed,
and make your money go as far as
you can by limiting the things you
have to buy. After you have grown
a supply of vegetables, can and pre
serve a sufficient supply for winter
use. By following this program you
can make $3.00 do the work of
$5.00. This program is essential for
our welfare under present condi
tions.
GREAT PROGRESS NOTED IN
COTTON MATTRESS PROJECT—
The cotton mattress project is
meeting with much success through
out the state, with more than 1,000
mattresses already completed and
over 30,000 applications received,
Miss Lurline Collier, state home dem
onstration agent, reported from Ath
ens this week.
According to County Agent J. E.
Leger, and Home Supervisor, Miss
Ted Phelps, 700 farm families in
Early county have applied for mat
tresses and they report that intense
interest is being manifested in the
mattress program which is designed
to reduce the surplus supply of cot
ton and provide mattresses for low
income farm families.
The mattress program, now in op
eration in all of Georgia’s 159 coun
ties, was recently inaugurated in
four counties, Jackson, Mitchell, Polk
and Washington. Since that time,

more than 1,000 bales of cotton and
105,000 yards of ticking has been
ordered, all of which is provided by
the Federal Surplus Commodity Cor
poration.
Over 78,000 farm families in Geor
gia are eligible to apply for mat
tresses, according to Miss Collier,
who is in charge of the mattress
program in this state. Approximate
ly 1,000 people, both white and
Negro, have volunteered to give as
sistance in the project. County farm
and home demonstration agents are
in charge of the work in the coun
ties.
Through the Agricultural Exten
sion Service and its farm and home
agents, the cotton and ticking is re
ceived from the Commodity Corpora
tion for the construction of the
mattresses. The AAA committee in
each county supervises the receiving
of applications and certifies the eli
gible families. Applications, how
ever, are made directly to the coun
ty agent.
MOTION PICTURE SHOW
FREE—
The County Agent is planning to
show the following pictures—“ King
Cotton,” “Seeds of Prosperity,” and
“Peruvian Gold”—to be shown at
the following places:
Hilton School: Friday, May 24th,
at 7:30 p. m.
Damascus School: Tuesday, May
28th, at 7:30 p. m.
New Hope School: Friday, May
31st, at 7:30 p. m.
Rowena School: Thursday, May
23rd, at 7:30 p. m.
These pictures will be shown free.
I think you will enjoy them. You
are cordially invited to attend the
show in your community.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE—
To those who are interested in
securing a free mattress and who
have not yet made application, 1
wish to announce that I am sending
a supply of application blanks to
all the county and community com
mitteemen, and also to the vocational
teachers in the various communities.
If you expect to receive one of
these mattresses, it will be necessary
for you to make your application al
once. I am making an effort to
have all applications in by June Ist.
I have been requested to report all
applications that are in to the state
office on June Ist.
There is little economy in spend

Over The Picket
Fence ....
By TWINK
WAWAV.W?AWAW.V/
Uncle Walter, of dog-house fame,
says that marriage is like boxing
matches . . . the preliminaries are
bettei- than the main event. Well, it
is neither safe nor fair to judge any
marriage by what appears on the
surface. There are profundities and
depths of all kinds, balances and
counterbalances too delicate even for
words to phrase them. A series of
mutual adjustments that only the
protagonists can understand. All that
is fair or safe to say, in my opinion,
is that no marriage is precisely as
it appears to the observer; and that
of those involved, the wife usually
understands her husband better than
any other woman does and often
much better than the husband under
stands his wife. But to call the
wife merely a housekeeper and home
maker is a masterpiece of under
statement. To succeed, she must be,
as well, a master tactician. She
knows her man through and through
. . . his weaknesses, his irritabilities,
how he looks when he is carving his
face or what he calls shaving, and
just exactly how he looks when he
needs to take a liver pill. She can
even tell him what his best friends
will not. She may even, in time,
tell just what he is thinking because
some women often develop a sixth
sense of this kind . . . but the show
goes on. I often wonder why, and
I find myself thinking that probably
every woman worth the title of wife
rebuilds each day those illusions
about her man which made her con
sent to his proposal in the first
place. When he leaves home for bus
iness or what have you, she begins
that subconscious rebuilding, until by
the end of the day he has again
reached full stature . . . and all this
comes under one heading , . . the
man brings to his marriage a divided
allegiance . . . the woman brings to
her marriage all that she possesses.
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead, who never to himself has said
(with apologies), “When do we folks
eat again?” Get two or more togeth
er and nine times out of ten the
subject of food comes up. There are
as many schools of thought on how
io make any given dish as there are
dishes to make, almost. And what
is one person’s hot biscuit is another’s
plum grunt. The dough is only the
point of departure. One is liable to
wind up most anywhere after the
start is made. But on the dough
subject, any man will forgive you,
even for trumping his ace, if you
serve him a luscious big piece of
bld-fashioned cherry pie and for
good measure, here’s a recipe that’s
gay as carnival with its piquant
cherries and strips of meltingly light
pastry: Put 3 cups pitted canned red
cherries, 2-3 cup cherry juice, 1-2
cup sugar and 2 tablespoons quick
cooking tapioca together in a sauce
pan. Bring slowly to a boil. Re
move from stove; add 1 teaspoon
lemon juice or 1-4 teaspoon almond
extract; let cool while preparing.
Pastry: Sift 2 cups flour and 1
teaspoon salt. Cut in 2-3 cup short
ening. When texture looks mealy,
stir in 6 to 8 tablespoons water, using
as little as possible. Roll out lower
crust and line pie plate. Fill with
cherry mixture. Use remaining pas
try for a top crust either plan or cut
into about 1-2 inch wide strips and
arranged in lattice work. Bake in
quick oven (425 F.) 20 to 25 min
utes.
Twenty-five years in keeping of a
scrapbook . . . and today, I find this:
“The Perfect Part:”
It must be nice to hear the big world
say
She sings her song, or plays her
part, or does
Some other things in a surpassing
way, . i
Yet were it left to me I think I’d j
choose
The humbler praise, far sweeter than |
all other
Praises sung: “She is a perfect i
mother.”
