Thoughts For The Day
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morn*
ing, that they may follow strong drink; that con
tinue until night, till wine enflame them. Isa.
5:11. , .
It were better for a man to be subject.to any vice
than to drunkenness; for all other vanities and sins
are recovered, but a drunkard will never shake off
the delight of beastliness.—Sir Walter Raleigh.
lit , . PEAR TREES PROFITABLE.
Pear growing in this vicinity in the past was one
iif. the most profitable of all fruit crops, but of re
cent years little attention has been paid to the culti-
'.vation and growing of the pear for_ cooking and
preserving purposes. The Keifer variety is one of
the most productive of pear, growing to an enor
mous size and some of them weighing, as much as
two pounds. These pears sell rapidly for one dol
lar a bushel and the demand for them is practically
unlimited. Besides the orchard may be planted in
the spring with oats and in the fall with peas and
the stubbs and vines plowed in making a rich and
fertile soil. A crop of pears will bring in dollars and
cents as much as an average crop of cotton under
normal conditions and if attention is given to this
land of fruit it will prove to be one of the best pay
ing industries for our farmers t. engage in. At the
curb market and with the merchants, a ready sale
can be found for every bushel of pears raised and
brought to market. It is worth trying another year
and it is worth the effort of planting trees for the
future.
W. EDITOR JOHN L. HERRING
A distinguished citizen; a true and loyal Geor
gian; a writer of more than ordinary ability; a
builder in civic, commercial and moral circled* was
the record of John Herring, editor of the Tifton Ga
zette for many years. He was known throughout
the state and among the newspaper fraternity was
'appreciated and held in the highest esteem as one of
the most able and versatile'writers of the Georgia
press. It is indeed unfortunate for the people of
Tifton and the surrounding section and for the whole
state for so gifted a man as he to be taken in the
very prime of life from the field of usefulness he had
made and occupied with ability and with credit to
himself and to those who were associated with him.
Ix'.Ofe all issues effecting the welfare of the state he
as found battling for that which ho believed to be
ht and his best efforts and his resources were
ributed to the cause for the uplife and better-
nt of his community. He waq a type of man whose
ds will live long after him and when future
rs take up the work of recounting the accom-
lislimcnts of Tifton, his name will stand out promi-
ently in its history as one of those who did his part
nd did it well. May his memery be cherished and
'reserved through the ages to come; his ashes rest In
eace and his soul awaken in a brighter world than
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF DAIRY COWS
There is no reason.why the number of dairy cows
should not be increacod in this section and especially
in North Gco.'gia In order to supply the demand for
dairy products and cheese. It has been stated that
there arc now sixteen creameries in'this section and
that is enough. But is it? If there is a demand tot
such products, why not increase in numbers the
y cow and supply the demand? In New York
- -nd Wisconsin, it is said that there is a cheese
’ every six miles. These producers ss’i tliolr (
in this state and at i\ profitable price. The
iction in Georgia is only a drop in the bucket of
isumption in this state. If we hav6 sufficient
•ries for Athens would it not be a wise move-
to establish a cheese factory in connection? Wo
1 not be satisfied to remain idle and console our-
on the proposition that we have enough when
tunitv for a paying industry is knocking at the
and demanding entrance into the manufacturing
:eld of prosperous proportions.
