r"-"'..... *** ! f 1 it m3?■ IT iJF liiiiiiii By EARL “TIGE” PICKLE 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, 1 •k for Local Progress This bank is interested primar ily in this community.

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.
