Last week when I inquired what
a man meant when he gee-whizzed
peanuts, it remained-for a city man
and an attorney to supply the infor
mation. Gee-whizzing peanuts is
something akin to running a spring
tooth harrow over them, Judge A. H.
Gray informed me. The judge was
a little bit surprised and ashamed,
too, that I didn’t know. Several oth
er fellows, including Walter Jordan
and Clyde Johnson, also came for
ward with the pertinent facts on
gee-whizzing, but you’d be surprised
at the number of real dirt farmers
who didn’t know, either.
I thought Sam Owen got that
sun tan from plowing his peanuts and
that pretty corn he’s got growing be
side the Columbia road, but my dad
tells me that Sam got it sitting in the
shade of a fishing pole.
The wihat-hen-laidnthe-biggest-egg
season is officially open. Mrs. 0. 0.
Brooks sent one to this corner which
weighed 3 3-4 ounces, and was laid
by an old red hen. And the flavor
was just as good as it was large.
It doesn’t seem to this department
that the paint-up, clean-up campaign
is getting the results which were an
ticipated; however, the Georgia Furn
iture Company is setting a mighty
good example. These boys have taken
down their metal awning, cleaned and
painted it, and re-installed same.
Looks good.
Air-conditioning, remarked a fel
low standing in the bank the other
day, is the best invention since old
man Schenley put his product on the
market.
If the census could be taken of
Early county during the butterbean
and fried chicken season, I expect
the figures would show at least 2,000
more people than we actually have.
Summer visitors would account for
the influx.
Purely personal:
This is the 20th year since I grad
uated from high school. One of my
classmates was Fred Godwin, now in
the theatre business at Warner Rob
ins. A few monhs ago, Fred was in
toiwn and expressed a desire to hold
a class reunion. I would like to know
how some of the others feel about
it and would especially appreciate
hearing from those several hundred
miles from home, like Walter Hayes,
of Pompano, Fla., Dr. Ned Holland,

Several of the crops that are be
ing harvested now are eligible for
price supports. It seems that the
prevailing prices are below the loan
rates on these commodities, there
fore, for your information we are
listing the loan rates on several of
these:
Oats—Loan rate of 98 cents per
bushel grading number 3 or better.
These must be stored for thirty days
in a building before a sample can
be pulled for analysis tests.
Wheat—The final loan rate will
not be announced until July 1. How
ever, interim price support of $2.39
per bushel grading number 1 has
been announced.
Things to Remember in Storing
Grain On the Farm
1. Build bins tight to make fumi
gation easier.
2. Thoroughly clean empty bins
before refilling them with new grain.
3. Clean up trash and old grain
from outside the bins.
4. Don’t keep brand, shorts, and
other mill feed, or empty feed bags
near the stored grain. Often they
contain insects.
5. Before refilling the empty bins,
spray the floors and inside of walls
with an oil solution of water suspen
sion containing a recommended in
secticide.
6. Do not combine grain before it
is thoroughly matured or when the
grain is wet. This causes the grain
to become musty and sour, and will
deteriorate quickly during storage.
7. Inspect the grain often and if
evidence of insect damage shows up,
fumigate immediately.
MEMORIAL
In memory of our Beloved Mother
and Grandmother, Mrs. Marjorie Ann
Ward, who passed away 23 May,
1945.
As we approach this season of
the year our hearts are filled with
sadness, for it was just eight years
ago we laid her to rest beneath that
lonely mound of clay. Though she’s
gone, we can never forget her sweet
smile and laughing eyes that always
helped to cheer us on life’s rugged
way. She always gave a helping
hand to friends along the way and
had a friendly smile for all with
whom she came in contact. We shall
never forget that there is always a
vacant spot and though we are used
to her not being here, we love, hon
or and cherish the kindness, advice
and love she had for each of us and
know she’s not sleeping now beneath
that cold dark grave but is at rest
with our Lord and Savior whom she
loved so dearly.
MRS. MAiBLE W. JACKSON
and Children.
