Tommy Herrin.
The second place award of
SSO and a plaque went to the
voung foresters from Lanier
County hieh school.
The announcement that Pat

whose members have acquired
a sound knowledge of forestry
and who possess skills in the
various phases of forestry.
The programs have been co
ordinated by Stewart Blood

Graduation Time
Graduation time will soon come again. Armies of
young people will venture out into what they hope
will be an exciting and receptive world.
It will, for a certainty, be a world which is vastly
different from that their forebears knew. It is
troubled, complex, and restive. Its demands are enor
mous and implacable. Change takes place at a
dizzying pace. The challenges are all but endless.
Yet, at the same time, it is a world of marvelous
opportunity. New frontiers are constantly being
opened — in industry, business, government, medi
cine, the physical sciences. In the space of a few
years, more material progress has been made than
in preceding centuries. And the future will bring
more and greater wonders — all the way from homes
of virtually incredible comfort and convenience to
the landing of human beings on the moon.
The world will welcome the young people who will
soon leave the schools and colleges. In return, it will
ask much of them. It will, often, require skills that
didn’t even exist a comparatively short time ago. A
bove all, it will demand a willingness to keep on
learning. For formal education is a beginning and not
an end in itself.
One more thing may be said. Surrounded as we
are by material abundance and achievement, it is
easy to lose sight of the old spiritual virtues. But,
without them, the world is essentially meaningless
and empty. This is a truth that never changes — and
a truth that, one profoundly hopes, our young people
will not forget.
AVOID INJURIES.
US' 1 SEAT BELTS
be’ts are the most effec
tive single item of protective e
onipment available to the motor
ist, according to the American
Insurance Association.
The Engineering and Safety
Department of the American In
surance Association points out
that if everyone used seat belts,
more than 5,000 lives would be
saved each year and injuries
would be reduced by one-third.
Seat belts should be used at all
times, even on the shortest trips,
since most fatal accidents occur
at speeds under 40 miles per hour
and within 25 miles of home, the
American Insurance Association
said.
If vou are a subscriber for
The Brantley Enterprise, you
do not have to BORROW
your neighbor’s paper to find
out what is happening each
week in Brantley County.
CONTROL NEMATODES
Nematode damage t o vege
tables often results in poor
growth, low vigor, and yellow
ing of the foilage. And during
dry weather, according to Dr.
Norman McGlohon. plant
oathologist with the Extension
Service, plants will wilt. Dis
tinct knots and galls are pres
ent on the plant roots. Control
of nematodes is accomplished
with chemicals. County agents
can provide information on
what chemicals to use, and
how to use them.
A DOSE OF SALTS
Grape vine leaves which be
come yellow between the veins
are probab’y suffering from
magnesium deficiency. This calls
for a dose of Epsom Salts, says
Extension Horticulturist C. D.
Soivey of the University of Geor
gia. Just dissolve one-half cup of
Epsom Salts in two gallons o(
water and pour it around the
plant.
AN ANSWER TO CANCER
Ihe United States Congress honored Dr. Jonas
Salk last week. It was a rare occasion . . . the man
"as recognized while he still lived. But many are
alive because of Dr. Salk’s remarkable vaccine. Now
polio is all but obsolete.
In a typically modest response, Dr. Salk saidj “The
easy ones have been solved.’’ He then talked about
ot u i diseases still to be conquered. Cancer among
them.
Day after day, the great and the near-great, the
rich and the poor fall to cancer. It is no respecter of
persons or occupations. All too often it strikes with
out sign or symptoms. Most often, it is discovered too
late. That is the nature of cancer.
1 here is some cure; some treatment. Even those
limited goals are a heartening step forward. Whether
the road to success is short or long, no one can say.
There are promising breakthroughs. And so the ex
pensive research goes forward, at a furious pace,
under the insistent probings of dedicated scientists
■ • • men and women. The cost is borne, in the main,
by citizens who contribute funds and countless volun
teer hours in behalf of the American Cancer Society
throughout the country.
It was the same way with the Salk Vaccine. It
took years of searching and millions of donated
dollars. Who, now, would measure that cost against
the lives saved ? There is hope, now, that the cure
will soon be found for cancer. Whatever the cost . . .
it can’t be too great . . . not when measured against
all of our lives.
The best answer to cancer tomorrow is your con
tribution. The best answer today is a checkup with
your doctor.
Livestock and
Poultry Survey
To Begin May 22
It will soon be pig counting time
in Georgia again. And cow, calf,
sheep, lamb, and chicken count
ing time, too.
The occasion is the annual U. S.
Department of Agriculture’s June
survey of livestock and poultry.
State Crop Reporting Services,
with cooperation from rural mail
carriers across the nation, will
begin making the study about
May 22.
On that date the mailmen will
begin distributing livestock ques
tionnaire cards to farmers. The
farmers are requested to fill out
the cards and return them to the
mailmen.
In Georgia approximately 13,-
000 cards will be sent out, ac
cording to Arch’e Langley, state
statistician with the Crop Re
porting Service, Athens.
“We regard this survey as one
of the most important we make,”
Mr. Langley said. “Livestock car
ries a lot of weight in the dollar
value of Georgia’s agricultural e
conomy. In 1954 cash receipts
for marketings of livestock an 4
livestock products amounted to
nearly SSOO million.”
Mr. Langley urged Georgia
farmers to return their question
naire cards as soon as possible.
He explained that the Georgia in
formation, along with that gath
ered in other states, will be sent
to the USDA Crop Reporting
Board in Washington. USDA will
then use the information as a
A. A. FLEMING
TO VISIT SCHOOLS
AS CROP SCIENTIST
Dr. A. A. Fleming, professor
of Plant Breeding in the De
partment of Plant Pathology
and Plant Genetics at the Uni
versity of Georgia in Athens,
has been named a Visiting
Scientist for the American
Society of Agronomy. He is
one of 62 outstanding scientists
from over the United States
chosen for this honor.
The Visiting Scientist Pro
grern is designed to acquaint
i students, faculty members, and
administrators in nonagricul
tural colleges and universities
with the ways in which various
sciences are used in research
and teaching programs of crop
and soil scientists.
Dr. Fleming’s research acti
vities are in the areas of maize
genetics and breeding with
special emphases on inbred
variation, cytoplasmic inheri
tance, maximum production,
and plot techniques. He was
selected as the outstanding
teacher in the College of Agri
culture at the University of
Georgia in 1955 and was one
of 20 genetics teachers select
ed for the NSF Genetics Con
ference at Colorado State Uni
versity in 1960.
He was Chairman of th»
Southern Com Improvement
Conference in 1960-61; High
i School Alumnus of the Year
in 1961; President of the Uni
versity of Georgia Chapter of
Gamma Sigma Delta, the hon
or society of agriculture, in
1963-64; and is now serving as
President of the Athens Toast
i masters Club.
He is the author or co-auth
■or of 21 scientific papers. He
received the B. S. and M. S.
degrees from Auburn Univer
sity and the Ph. D.
basis for its annual June pig crop
report and other statements on
the livestock situation in the coun
try.
The Georgia Crop Reporting
Service official said a lot of peo
ple find the livestock figures help
ful. The June pig crop report,
for example, will show how many
hogs will be going to market this
fall. Whether the pig population
is up or down compared with last
year will be determined, and
farmers will be able to make
their fall farrowing plans ac
cordingly. In addition, many meat
packers and feed manufacturers
make future plans based on the
report.
Mr. Langley said farmers who
return their survey cards to the
mail carriers will receive a copy
of the final report automatically,

How To ’’Succeed”
Suppose that one day a teacher asked two boys to stay after class.
He explained that he had reached a decision on their grades.
“Jack,” he began, “you’ve done a good job all semester. You’ve
kept up with your reading, participated in class discussion, done
your homework, scored very well on your exams. There’s no ques
tion but what you’ve earned an ‘A’.”
He looked at the other boy. “I’m sony I can’t say the same for
you, Tom. You know, as well as I do, your performance has been
poor. Because you’ve done so badly, you deserve to fail.”
Then he gave his decision. “But you both want to pass, and
you know that takes at least a ‘C’. So, Jack, I’ll lower your grade to
‘C’... and use your extra credits to raise Tom’s ‘F’ to the same ‘C*
level.”
Ridiculous? Os course! Yet this kind of thinking is not too far
removed from the Marxist philosophy: “From each according to
his ability; to each according to his need.”
That’s one of the basic principles, of communism. But it isn’t
the way Americans do things. We believe in rewarding—not penal
izing—initiative and effort. Under free enterprise, we’re measured
by what we do; not by what someone else does for us.

Questions and Answers
on the Bible
Readers are invited to submit questions they would like dis
cussed to Mrs. Gladys B. Johnson, Blackshear, Ga.
Will there be an opportunity
for men and women to be sav
ed during the Tribulation per
iod?
Immediately following the
Rapture of the Church, that
is, the removal of all believers
in Christ from the earth, there
will be a period of seven years
which the Bible calls the Tri
bulation period.
Imagine, if you can, what
forces of evil will flood the
earth in that day. The Holy
Spirit whose restraining pow
er has constantly hindered
Satan, returns to Heaven also
with God’s elect. It is a time
in which rich men, wise men,
kings and slaves alike will
cry out for the rocks and
mountains to fall upon them f
that they might hide themsel- |
ves from the wrath of God. ।
Revelation 6:15-17.
There will be such chaos
when the Devil is given full
sway upon earth that the peo
ple will be ready and willing
to accept as their leader the ।
lawless one, the Beast, as des- (
cribed in the book of Daniel.
If we read our newspapers
we can see that the wor’d is
not only headed toward a uni
fied. political system but a
unified, religious system as
well. This is also a fulfillment
of Scripture.
This world leader is dedi
cated to the task of wiping
God from the lives and
thoughts of man and so the
godly will suffer dreadfully
for their belief.
Is God going to leave Him
self without a witness even in
the midst of such wickedness?
No, indeed. However, the Gen
tiles are no longer the mission
aries of the Word of God. He
agains turns to the Jewish
people and will bv His Sover
eign grace reveal Himself to
them — just as He did to
Paul on the road to Damascus.
Paul was a persecutor of the
Christians but God spoke to
Him and then sent Him out as
an evangelist. Just so will God
reveal Himself to 144.000
Jews and they will become
the evangels of God, preach
ing salvation through the
blood of Christ unto the whole
Without Really Trying
BY MRS. GLADYS B. JOHNSON
One word of warning. There
is no second chance of salva
। tion after death. “Behold, now
is the accepted time; behold,
now is the day of salvation.”
2 Corinthians 6:2. There are
some who believe that the
Bible teaches that no one will
be saved during the Tribula
tion period who has had an
opportunity to accept Christ
in THIS day of grace. II
Thessalonians 2:10-12. If this
be true, then surely now IS
the day of salvation.
world.
Read the 7th chapter of
Revelation. You will find that
there are 12,000 from each
tribe of Israel who will be
saved during the tribulation
period — all Jews. Twelve tri
bes — 144,000.
However, look at Revelation
7:9 — John is speaking of the
things which he saw in his vis
ion of heaven. “After this I be
held. and, 10, a great multitude,
which no man could number,
of all nations, and kindreds,
and people, and tongues, stood
before the throne, and before
the Lamb, clothed with white
robes and palms in their
hands ”
Yes, multitudes of Gentiles
will also be saved, but the
majority of those who accept
Christ as their Saviour during
this seven year period will pay
for their salvation with their
lives. Satan through the Beast
and the False Prophet will
use every means to extermi
nate all those who profess
faith in Christ.
PICK A PEACH
Indications are Georgia will
have an excellent peach crop
this year. And some of them will
be ready for harvest in about a
month. The first varieties, called
“extra early, - ” are Cardinal, Red
cap, Dixired, and Maygold. Ex
tension Service Horticulturist C.
D. Spivey says these are cling
stone and are recommended only
as fresh peaches — not for can
ning or freezing.
