Payment Will Be
Made For Garden
As Cropping Plan
ALL FAMILIES HAVING GAR
DENS WILL BE PAID $1.50
AND THAT AMOUNT BE DE
DUCTED FOR FAILURE
In a letter sent by County Agent
M. L. Powell to all farmers having
worksheets for 1940 it is explained
that $1.50 will be paid to each fam
ily planting a home garden, and
that $1.50 will be deducted from
the payments for each family that
does not have a home garden. This
should be an incentive for all farm
families to plant gardens this sea
son, not only to earn $1.50 extra
payment but to provide vegetables
needed for a balanced diet and to
reduce the cost of living.
In his letter to farmers Mr. Pow
ell explains how each farm may
earn up to S3O by planting four
meres in pine seedlings. Orders for
the seedlings should he placed im
mediately. Mr. Powell will assist
in ordering the seedlings.
Regarding hog cholera, now prev
alent in the county, the county
agent’s letter says.
‘‘We are having quite a number
of hogs to die over the county with
cholera and I have been called on
in several instances to do inoculat
ing. If you would like to have your
hogs inoculated, may 1 ask that
several neighbors in one community
get together and set a date for this
work and I will be glad to come by
and give them the serum. I would
appreciate your co-operation in this
matter due to the fact that I am
giving you this serum at cost and
if I had to make an individual call
to each farm in the county, you can
see how much time and expense this
would take."

Miscellany
The late Mr. Hamp Daughtry,
whose death saddened for many of
us the Christmas season, was your
true Jacksonian. Devoted to his
children, as they to him, proud of
them and of the good place they
arc making for themselves in the
world, he nevertheless would not
leave the old home town to live with
any one of them. Here he knew
everybody, and everybody knew
him. Each corner, each stone, each
tree, were to him old familiar inti
mates, and he would never have ad
justed himself to any other setting.

And, by the way, we heard a
good thing at the Christian Service

words.
Meeting together is a good be

Staying together is progress.
Working together is—success.

My dear Mr. Coulter, —
Your startling proposition came to
me in a unique way, and since it
has already helped, you have my
thanks. I had previously heard of
your strange benevolences. _
One could wish to have an op

Or, it is a jest? Respectfully, Jane

And what do you think John did
about that? We’ll see.
