Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional by Rev. Donald L. Folsom Pastor, The First Baptist Church ATTITUDES Life is a matter of attitudes. If our attitude is wrong life is wrong. All of us have good days and bad days. There are times when everything seems to go wrong. On such days we are at our worst and we know it. It filters down to the very core of our being, and we fret about almost everything, such as, our health, circumstances, and inadequacies. When this hap pens we lose our perspective and magnify things out of proportion so that they overwhelm us. But what do we get out of these negative thoughts? Why, only misery as well as worry. As I said in the beginning, life is a matter of attitudes, so in order to get rid of these negative thoughts we must switch our will power to the positive current. But how do we do this? Well, we can always count our blessings. There are many things for which we can be grateful. Then we can think about all the things that are right in our lives instead of all the things that are wrong. You know, its just as easy to be constructive and positive as it is to be destructive and negative. Edward Everett Hale, the American Author puts it this way: “To look up and not down To look forward, not back To look out and not in.” Sure, we all have our problems, but often ours are mere drops in a bucket compared to those that others face. Problems are only as big or as little as we make them. Life is most meaningful to those who get into harmony with it and do not try to buck the tide, so to speak. Sure we have our dark periods and our light periods. But the dark periods help us to make the most of the light ones that come along. A poet once wrote: “You have to believe in happiness Or happiness never comes- Oh, that’s the reason a bird can sing On his darkest day, he believes in spring.

Butts County Extension Agent THE LAST LOOK Vegetable growers in Butts County need to take one last look at their fields after the final harvest. This last look should not be at the vines or bushes, but at the part of the plant that so far has not been seen during the growing season. This last look should be at the root system to determine if there are nematodes present on the roots. This last look will tell the grower if a nematocide will be needed on future vegetable crops. Roots of vegetable plants will supply the evidence if nema todes are present in the soil. While not all species of nematodes produce knots or galls on the roots, the most destructive and common ne matodes do. During or just after the final harvest is the best time to check for nematode damage. It is at this time that the roots have been exposed for the maximum length of time to nematode damage and it is at this time the knots or galls will be most noticeable. If you are not sure if you do or don’t have nematodes just bring the plant by my office and I’ll be happy to check it for you. Take time out for the last look - it’s the first look at next year’s crop. GARDENING IN JULY IS IMPORTANT July is one of the most difficult months as far as the home garden is concerned. July temperatures are high and most often we experience “dry” spells of considerable duration. This month is an important gardening month because what is successfully planted during July will usually determine what you will eat out of your fall garden. Vegetables started early in July should include: pole and bush lima beans, carrots, roasting ear corn, Irish potatoes and parsnips. Veget ables to start late in July should include: tomatoes, cabbage, collards and ruta baga turnips. Additional infor mation may be obtained by calling 775-2601.

Floyd’s Garage Offers 24 Hour Wrecker Service Complete Automotive Service Call 775-5296 Flovilla, Georgia OUT OF THE ImBMI The game of golf reveals something fundamental in the character of man. For when man builds a golf course he deliberately creates hazards for himself. He builds his fairways between clumps of trees . . . dots them with bunkers and sand traps . . . often terraces his greens with confusing slopes. The whole idea—to make things harder for himself! It is this same trait in human character that constantly concerns our churches. Christianity doesn’t teach that life can be—or should be—-easy. It teaches us that hazards must challenge us to choose the right way. And it teaches men how to recover from their mistakes—with God’s help. For thousands who find themselves in one of the traps of life . . . our religion offers precious help and reassurance.
