Meeting Was Held Sunday. Through the kindness of Mr. R. L. <'anthers we had the pleasure of visit ing Bethabara church in Oconee coun ty last Sunday. The writer was the pastor of that church for ten years, and those years are among the most pleasant of our life. There are as many good people to the square mile around Bethabara church as you will find anywhere in Georgia, and we num ber them all as our friends. The occasion was the annual con yeniion of the B Y. P.

During the morning hours a splen did address was delivered by Mr. H. L. Batts, who has charge of the B. Y. 1 . U. work in the state, and a strong and uplifting sermon was delivered by Rev. (’. W. Henderson, the pastor of the church. Bethabara has always,been famous for her great dinners on the ground, and she fully sustained her reputation on this occasion. The writer enjoyed the noon hour thoroughly shaking the hands of old friends and renewing old acquaintances. Wish we had space to name all, hut it would take more than a column just to call them by name. Mars Hill Baptist church was chos en as the next annual associational meeting place for the B. Y. P. U. and the time selected was the 3rd Sunday in June, 1922.

FORDSON TRACTOR DOES GREAT WORK Demonstrations Over the County Show ing Fanners the Great Possibili ties of This Imple ment. t The farmers qt Barrow county are becoming greatly interested in the won derful possibilities that are opening up to them in the use of the Fordson Trac tor’. Diversified farming is becoming a reality now in this section and every one th\t sees the Fordson tractor at work realizes its value on the farm. The editor of the News went out Tuesday to see one at work on the farm of Mr. P. R. (Leek) Smith just east of Winder, and while we have heard many things said in praise of this tractor we were surprised at the splendid work we saw it doing. The land had been in oats and the dry weather had caused it to become hard and we do not be lieve a pair of mules could have pulled a plow through it two Inches deep. This Fordson was pulling two large disk plows and plowing about 10 inch es deep, several inches deeper than had ever been plowed before. After the land was broken it was harrowed with the Fordson and the cultl-packer was run over it, leaving the field in perfect condition for any kind of seed. Only one man was needed to do the work. Mr. Smith will plant this five acres in snap beans and will be ready to sup ply Winder with all the beans she needs later in the summer. Every farmer realizes that with the deflation, in the price of his products he must trim the costs of production and it strikes us that tins is one of the best ways in which to do this. Man labor is reduced to a minimum by tbe use of the Fordson Tractor, and this enters more largely into the cost of production than anything else. One thing that impressed us with the Fordson is the ability of tin* soil to conserve moisture where it is brok en with a Fordson. On Monday of last week, wheat on the farm of Mr. G. W. Giles, near Auburn, was cut with a Fordson, the land broken, harrowed, culti-packed and planted in peas and sorghum, all of the work being done by the tractor. When the land was brok en and the seed planted it had been about ten days after any rain had fal len. It has not rained any since, yet Mr. Giles has a fine stand of peas and sorghum, showing that when land is properly prepared and planted, there is no trouble in securing a stand even in dry weather. The writer of this article is not in terested in the sale of tractors, per sonally, lmt he is vitally Interested in the prosperity of tlie farmers of Bar row county, and is anxious that our people get in tlie way of making max imum crops at minimum cost. We be lieve it is to the interest of every far mer in the county to see the Fordson tractor at work and to investigate tlie possibilities that its use will open up to them. J. L. SAUL’S GREAT SALE. In this issue appears a large two page ad of a great sale that J. L. Saul s putting on beginning today, Thursday, and continuing for fourteen days.

They have had sev eral weeks of dry weather in which to get their crops clean of grass and all crops in this section are in good condi tion. They nre busy now gathering their wheat and oat crops and these have made good yields. The prospects for a good crop all over this section is fine and an unusual large acreage In food crops has been planted. We be lieve the farmers of Barrow county are tnoroughly in earnest about diversify ing their farming operations and that they have set out to make their own living at home. Wje believe this sec tion is on the eve of great prosperity along agricultural lines.

Brooksher Apply for Medal May 2. The Victory Medal officer, 204 Jour nal Building, Atlanta, notes a very tin* usual coincidence which occurred the morning of the 2nd. The applications of Captains William L. Mathews and Miles C. Wiley were received by mnil and Mrs. Carolyn B. Moore brought Captain Paul F. llrooksher’s discharge to the office for his application, which she signed for him. This is the first time that three applications from ex officers have been received from any one place In one day. Their medals will be received by them from the Phila. de pot about the time this goes to press, or a few days later. Captain Mathews’ ribbon will have two bronze clasps on it, denoting service in the Meuse-Ar goime and in the Defensive Sector of the 2nd Army Area. Captain Brook sher's medal will have one clasp on the ribbon with the word “France” on it, showing that lie was overseas but not ii. any battles. As Captain Wiley was, e the Victory Medal Officer himself, one of the unfortunates who did not get over, his ribbon will bear no clasp. Otherwise the medals are identical. Tbe Victory Medal officer expect* to have to close his office soon, possibly in a month, and would like to get all of the Barrow county medals Issued before that time. If you cannot or do not wish to send your discharge to him. write and tell him why, he will see that you get your medal.

As we stated some time ago t'asli Bnggitt was unanimous ly elected as official clock winder, and that he would begin his duties as soon as lie made bond and received his com mission. It has developed that the clock will run only six days instead of eight, and Cash has found it a huril matter to get an* me to go on his bond on account of this fact, liis friends fear ing that he could not make the trip up o the clock and hack in six days. They would he perfectly willing to go on his bond if the clock would run eight duys ns they believe he could make the round trip easily in that time. Ho up to the hour if going to press the question is still unsettled. One night last week the clock struck li, when everybody knows there is no such time in clockdom, and only last Monday morning ye editor was pulled out of lied at 5 o’clock and lost the best part of the night for sleeing , just be cause the clock struck nine when it ought to have struck five. We blamed Cash Baggett for playinh lids trick on us, hut he says that the thing is worse than a kicking mule. It’i4 hard to start "the tiling striking and when it gets (Started you can’t stop it. He says tlie other night when it struck 16 it ought to have struck nine. He tried to stop the tiling at the right hour but it just went wild and kept oil striking, and he believes it would is* striking right on now if he hadn't swung onto the clapper and finally stopped it. The other morning when it pulled us out of bed at 5 o'clock by strkiing nine. Cash says that was liis fault as he lost count and didn’t know many times the thing had struck until some of the Winder citizens Jumped on him about it. One thing is certain, Cash says he’s got enough of clock winding to last him the balance of his life. LIKE MrLI KE DEAD. James 8.
