CAN PEAS FOR WINTER
USE
Doctors say that the tired out
feeling, “spring fever,” that comes
ati the end of the winter ia often
* caused by a lack of fruits and vege
tables in the diet. Vegetables help
to keep the family well, and make
the family meals enjoyable. The
children need them especially. Even
the baby in the family should have
♦bum.
That “tired-out feeling” in the
spring can be prevented in the farm
family by canning vegetables and
fruits for winter use. There is no
vegetable which cannot be safely
canned at the present time. If vege
tables are properly canned, and if
they are used with skill and ingenui
ty, they are delicious and appetizing.
English peas are exceptionally
good when canned. They retain
their color and flavor well, and may
Ik? used in many ways in the winter
diet. When mashed through a sieve
they may be given to the baby. For
the other members of the family they
are used in cream soups, in creamed
dishes, in stews, and in salads. Try
this recipe for Canned Peas.
Since the pea is a non-acid vege
table, it has to be canned with care.
It is canned most safely with a steam j
pressure canner.
Use only fresh young peas. These
are best gathered in the early morn
in or when cool. Work should be
done rapidly, and peas should not
stand after being shelled. Shell and
>ort, putting peas of the same size
and degree of maturity together. Be
sure not to use hard ripe peas a
mong tender ones.
Pre-cooking is very important.
Pre-cook from one to four minutes,
depending upon how tender they
are.
Use cans not larger than No. 2.
Pack to within one-half inch of the
top. If too full, some of the peas
will burst and make liquor cloudy.
Put Iha level teaspoonsfuls of a
mixture of salt and sugar in each No.
■2 can. Fill within one-fourth inch
cf the top with water used in pre
cooking process. Proceed the same
way if packing in glass, using pint
jars.
Exhaust three minutes and process
in hot water canner intermittently.
Cool tins quickly after each process
ing. This may be done by plunging
into cold water. Process pint jars
<me hour each time.
Peaches On The Market
Early
E. E. Payne of Reynolds, Ga., ship-
SKhI the lirst peaches of the 1933 crop
to Atlanta, Saturday. Mr. Payne
has made the first shipment of peach
'es from middle Georgia every year
except 1932 for six years. The
peaches were on the Flamingo. The
<korgia Peach Growers Exchange has
estimated that Georgia will furnish
4*,071 cars of peaches to the nation
this year.
The annual movement of Georgia
poaches will get under way the com
ing week, with the first carlot ship
ments of Mayflowers and Early Rose,
of both of which varieties there are
only six cars in sight, according to
the exchange’s estimate.
The estimate of 8,071 cars com
pares with 2,001 car* last season and
with the bumper crop of 17,963 cars
in 1926.
A normal crop, according to those
oonnected with the trade, is about
12,000 cars.
The commercial orchards of Jack
sson county at present promise a
aplendid yield of excellent fruit.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY RECOVER
ING
From all sections of the South, re
ports indicate that the textile indus
try is rapidly recovering from the
period of depression that has been
general throughout this section of
the country. Cotton mills are resum
ing operation and in many instances,
these mills are operating night and
clay with full forces of operatives.
In a number of the mills, the wage
scale has been increased and the
•employes are enjoying much better
living conditions than they did in
pre-depression days. The supply of
■cotton goods stored in the ware
houses of the country and the stocks
carried over by the merchants have
been practically exhausted and the
demand for the new output is grow
ing increasingly each week.
MAKE THEM DISGORGE
Scores of millions of dollars of
American citizens were invested in
foreign bonds that are now without
value. These bonds were handled by
New York bankers, and the citizens
who purchased them have since found
out that they were duped.
The Dawson News says “make
them disgorge.”
It would be nothing more than just
if the federal government forced
every concern guilty ofimisrepresent
ing securities sotyl in the past to buy
them bacV:‘*t the selling price to
gether witli interest. In other words,
treat them just like the crook who
knowingly sells the spavined horse.
If the federal government can get
to the bottom of this Wall Street
swindling and put back into the hands
of the people the money they paid
for unsound securities the racketeers
of high finance may be willing to con
fine themselves in the future to legi
timate operations. The punishment
that hurts the rich crook most is to
make him disgorge. His vulnerable
spot is where he carries his pocket
book.
FREE SEED TO REPLANT
HAIL-DEVASTATED AREA
Jackson county and this immediate
section of Georgia has been fortunate
so far in that no severe hail storms
have devastated the young plants and
the fruit. Other sections of the
state have had unusually heavy hail,
especially in middle Georgia.
An incomplete survey by the Red
Cross places the crop damage in
Baldwin, Jones, Butts, Putnam,
Spalding, Fayette, Coweta, Monroe
and Jasper counties at not less than
$200,000, not including damage to
buildings and forests. The relief
work in these counties is being car
ried on by the Red Cross, assisted
by the government extension service.
A truckload of seed suitable for
gardens and for small truck farms
has been distributed and the Red
Cross later will carry on its canning
campaign in the nine counties. The
seed are given free to farmers up
on application to, and approval by,
the extension service.
The seed is valued ut $3,000, and
was distributed among 1015 families.
REFORESTATION SERVICE
Many people are asking what the
reforestation by the government is
all about. The character of the
work done in the first camps will be
about the same. Under the direction
of the Department of Agriculture
Forest Service, truck trails, foot
trails and fire breaks will be cut,
mainly to aid in fighting forest fires.
Timber stands will be thinned in
overstock areas. Planting in some
forests, especially those which have
been burned over or recently cut,
will be done. Dead timber will be
cleared from the forest and trees
brush having no commercial value,
but which hamper the growth of pay
ing trees, will be eliminated. Insects
and fungus will be fought.
Each camp of 200 men will pro
vide its own cooks, tailors, barbers,
laundrymen, carpenters, office work
ers, etc. It is planned to have each
camp as self-contained as an isolated
army. The men sign up for six
months, and are subject to military
discipline, although those in charge
are going easy on this at first. But
some control, of course, is necessary
in handling men under such condi
tions. —Gainesville News.
The North Carolina legislature ad
journed late Monday, ending a ses
sion that began January 4. Among
new laws enacted in the lengthy ses
sion were: Legalization of 3.2 beer;
provision for a vote November 7 up
on repeal of the 18th amendment;
imposition of a 3 per cent general
sales tax; removal of a 15-cent ad
valorem tax on property levied in
1931 for schools; extension of the
state-supported school term from six
months to eight, with a provision that
the term may be extended to nine
months by popular vote in local
units, if the units are not m default
on their indebtedness.
In choosing the new faculty for
the University of Georgia, the Board
of Regents paid Martin Institute a
high compliment in selecting Miss
Peggy Baker as associate professor
of vocational education. Miss Baker
has held a position on the faculty of
Martin Institute for the past two
years, and has been eminently suc
cessful in her work. Although Jef
ferson regrets that Miss Baker is to
sever her connection with the school,
she is receiving sincere congratula
tions on her promotion. Martin
Institute will also have another form
er teacher on the university vocation
al education faculty--Professor O.
C. Aderhold, who was named assist
ant professor of this bi anch of learn

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
A SINGER WITHOUT A
COUNTRY
When the Emory University Glee
Club and Orchestra present their an
nual concert*, one of the most promi
nent soloist* will be Veniamin Dmitri
Blinov, Russian student, who is lit*
terally “a man without, a country.”!
Young Blinov, a youth of 20, is in
the United States on a “student’s
visa” and when he finishes studying
at Emory University he will be with
out a country, although at present he
is trying to get a special governmen
tal dispensation because, in his own
words, he wishes “to be an American
citizen,” but it looks at present like
that is impossible.
Blinov was born of Russian Ortho
dox parents in Kazan, Russia, and
led a peaceful life until he was 12
years of age. Since that time the
youth’s life has been resplendent with
excitement and tragedy, brought on
by the revolution.
His father was a priest in the Or
thodox Church and “Benny” as he
is known to his American Jricnds,
sang in the choir and made great
headway in school. Then came the
revolution and his father was killed
and he and his mother were forced
to flee other refugees. On the
overland trip his mother died as a
result of an attack of typhoid fever.
Six years later Veniamin found
himself finishing gymnasium in Har
bin, Manchuria, where he lived, earn
ing his own living by odd jobs and
singing here and there in cabarets
and choirs. While living in Harbin he
had met Methodist missionaries who
told him of Emory University in At
lanta. He was issued a “student’s
visa” and then another romantic ad
venture lay before him.
Singing as he went, he visited Fu
san, Korea, Shimonoseke (Japan),
Kobe, Yokohama, Tokio, and Hono
lulu. Singing his way across the con
tinent, he arrived in Atlanta in the
fall of 1923 to matriculate at Emory
University. He is “signing his way”
through college, having established
himself as a “tenor without a coun
try” and is always acclaimed where
ever heard.
THE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE
(From Greensboro Herald-Journal)
Editor Shackelford, in his Ogle
thorpe Echo, had something to say in
his paper regarding the reduction of
the subscription price of The Echo.
We do not see how the good people
of Oglethorpe . County can expect
Editor Shackelford to publish as line
a paper as The Echo for than
$2.00 the year. This is less than 4
cents per copy. If the good weekly
papers, like The Echo, are to hold up
and even survive present conditions,
the subscription price must be main
tained. The lineage in advertising
has dropped off to such an extent that
a weekly newspaper must depend
more than ever before on subscrip
tions to the paper.
The condition of the weekly press
is becoming precarious. Our idea is
for the editor to hold his subscription
price up and produce the very best
paper he possibly can.
If the subscription price is reduc
ed, the newspaper will be forced to
produce a smaller paper and carry
less local and editorial matter. '
Everything that goes into the pub
lishing of a newspaper is practically
as high as it was three years ago.
When everything was high and peo
ple had plenty of money,, the sub
scription price of weekly newspapers
remained the same. The subscription
price of the Herald-Journal is also
$2.00.
George A. Sloan, president of the
Cotton Textile Institute, sent a tele
gram to President Roosevelt an
nouncing that the institute’s directors
had recommended to the industry a
work-week in cotton mills not to ex
ceed 40 hours during what Sloan re
ferred to as the “emergency period.”
The directors also recommended to
the members of the institute that
productive machinery in cotton mills
be operated not more than two 40-
hour shifts per week. The cotton
textile industry is at present the
largest manufacturing industry in the
United States from the standpoint of
the number of people employed.
Although the reduction in farm in
come from 1929 to 1932 was for all
farm products, producers of live
stock products in general fared bet
ter than did the producers of crops.
Since 1929 the gross income from
crops declined about 61 per cent,
whereas income from livestock pro
ducts declined about 53 per cent.
The decline in income from grain and
cotton was especially marked, a
mounted to approximately 75 per
cent for grains, and 69 per cent for
cotton. The income from hogs in
1932 was only about one-third that
in 1929.
NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL
(By E. B. Betts)
“And the King said unto his ser
vants, know yo not that, there is a
Prince and a great man fallen this
day in Israel?” This man, Hon. C.
H. Brand, of Athens, Ca., who died
on May 17, 1933. He had been in
the political arena of Georgia and
the nation since 1894 to 1933, and
had always been successful to the
end of life’s journey. No purer,
more golden-hearted gentleman of
Georgia ever lived, and he was a
friend of mankind. He was hurried
at Lawrenceville, Ga., on May 18.
To this Prince for a little while we
gently say good night.
o o o
Hon. S. S. Arentz, former govern
or of Minnesota, was • the principal
speaker at the Sunday Afternoon
Forum on May 21, at 212 H. St.,
N. W. He discussed the Economized
Program from the point of view of
the Farm Labor Party.
o o o
The Republican Members of the
Republican Club of the District of
Columbia entertained at tea at the
club house at 4 to 6 o’clock on May
21. in honor of the visiting Feder
ated Club Women.
o o o
The Georgia State Society and of
ficers of the Georgia State Society
will have another informal dance for
Georgians and their friends May 31,
at the ball room of the Kennedy
Warren Hotel, at 9 o’clock.
A GOOD WAY TO SETTLE
LAND LINES
The story is told of a city man who
bought a farm. When he went out
to look at the line fence, which had
been the source of so much quarrel
ing, the neighboring farmer said:
“That fence is a full foot over on
my side.”
“Very well,” said the new owner,
“we will set the fence two feet over
on my side.”
“Oh, but that is more than I
claim,” stammered the surprised
farmer.
“Never mind about that. I would
much rather have peace with my
neighbor than two feet of earth,”
said the man.
“That’s surely fine of you, sir,”
replied the farmer, “but I couldn’t
let you do a thing like that. That
fence just won’t be moved at all.”
The next time you have a dispute
about rights, surprise the other fel
low by giving him more than he
claims, and see what will happen.—
Alice Crowell Hoffman, in “Boy
Life.”
According to figures compiled by
the Ahrens Publishing Company, pub
lishers of several hotel and restau
rent trade magazines, more than
$100,000,000 has been spent, or is in
the process of being spent, by hotels
and restaurants to modernize old and
create new taprooms, roof gardens,
restaurants, grills and rathskellers
for the proper and inviting serving
of 3.2 beer in the 23 states permit
ting its sale. If all of this output of
money is to be replaced, to-gether
•with an added per cent for profit, by
the beer drinkers, we fear women
and children will go hungry and
nude.
The Madisonian, of Madison, Ga.,
is calling upon the subscribers to
come to its rescue by settling sub
scriptions due. The editor is fully
correc tin saying, “These amounts are
small to the individual but mean
everything to us—mean the continu
ed publication of the paper. Since
advertising and printing have just
about become things of the past,
subscriptions constitute our chief
source of revenue, and we must
have the subscriptions or go out of
business. Plain talk, but true. If
your subscription is due, please pay
us.”
An Ohio newspaper printed the
following, which, of course, got the
editor into trouble: “Jenkins it is
claimed was driving at a high rate of
speed and swerving from side to
side. As he approached the crossing
he started directly toward it and
crashed into Miss Miller’s rear end,
which was sticking out into the road
about a foot. Luckily she escaped
injury and the damage can be easily
remedied with anew coat of paint.”
James C. Stanton, an Atlanta
traveling salesman, was killed in an
automobile accident Saturday night
near Winder, when his automobile
collided head-on with a heavy freight
truck. The two machines met as they
topped a hill and the truck almost
demolished the light coupe which
Stanton occupied alone. Mr. Stanton
was a native of Winder, and a broth
er of W. M., Malcolm, Miss Ermine
and Mrs. Manch Stanton Johnson.
If the male of the species are to
be permitted to work only 30 hours
per week, what about the weaker
sex? A woman’s job of homemaking
takes 51 hours ?. week, on the aver
age, judging by a survey of 2.000
homes in what is termed the “middle
income group.”

The Moultrie Observer sees only
temporary relief for the farms: “The
farm is not the worst place in the
world, even if conditions have been
bad in the last few years. There
has been a shift of a million people
from towns and cities to the country
in the last year or two. This may be
accounted for by the fact that many
move back in the country to escape
high house rents, water and light
bills, etc. They will move again just
as soon as the factories start up.”
R. E. Gormley, state superintend
ent of banks, Monday said that a
much better spirit of business is
evidenced by the fact that his office
has received more inquries relative
to purchase of property held by li
quidating banks during the last three
weeks than during the preceding
three months. Several good sales
have been made on the new market,
Gormley said. “A changed spirit is
indicated,” he said.
We are in somewhat of a quandary
to understand where all the money
which is expected will be spent f° r
the new 3.2 per cent beer is to come
