The president called for volunteer
talks, and several responded with
good talks. Among them was our
friend and kinsman, Mr. Fredrick H.
Lord, of Belle Haven, Va., who made
a good talk, which was very much
enjoyed by all. He told ua he was
a ptotato farmer; I. E., Irish pota
toes, and that a good crop yield was
from 60 to 80 barrells per acre, and
that they had the same trouble with
the potato that we cotton farmers
have with cotton; namely, they have
to spray against bugs and other
pests. He made a good talk, which
was very much enjoyed, and we hope
we can be honored with his presence
again.
Just at this time the president
called for a quartette, and Mr. Har
old Sheridan, Gilbert Brown, Llewal
lyn Patton, and Miss Dalia Brown,
sang, “Hallahaa,” which was very
much enjoyed.
Someone made a motion that we
have ice tea at our reunion next year,
and that it be sweetened.
This was one of the best reunions
we have ever had. Not in point of
the crowd, but in point of everybody
being in a good humor, and every
one trying to make everyone enjoy
the day. The talks were all good,
and to the point, not too long, but
just right. Short and sweet.
Closing song, “Parting Hand,” by
Claud Brown.
Dismissed with prayer, by J. L.
Lord.
Will meet again first Wednesday in
August, 1934.
SAM W. LORD, Pres.
J. H. LORD, Sec’y.
“I WISH I HAD .... IN 1933”
“Away back in 1933 when land
was cheap, I wish now I had bought
nie a farm. Land has never been so
cheap since, and I just didn’t know
what a chance I was missing back in
’33.”
Many a man, we predict—thous
ands and tens of thousands of them
—will be saying this sorrowfully in
’43. „
And still more sorrowfully in 1953,
with age coming on and thoughts of
“The Lost Opportunity of 1933” re
minding one of the poet’s lines—
“Of all sad words of tongue or pen
the saddest are these —it might have
been.”
“Well, at any rate, we do not wish
anybody to say, “The Progressive
Farmer didn’t tell me—at least not
in time.” We are telling you. And
for most ambitious, industrious, en
terprising families, there is still time
to buy before prices go up material
ly The history of nearly all de
pressions is that land values are
among the slowest to reach bottom,
and among the slowest to clean
back to the top again. But it usual
ly takes considerable time to work
out the details of a land purchase and
right now is none too soon to begin.
Last fall people were talking of 5-
cent cotton. Ten-cent cotton makes
land worth several times as much as
5-cent cotton. Now with 10-cent
cotton for example, land is not worth
simply twide as much as it was with
5-cent cotton. It is worth several
times as much. For 5-cent cotton
does not even mean a living. With
10-cent prices cotton offers a real
profit- '
The wholesale foreclosures by joint
stock land banks and other mortgage
holders and a veritable saturnalia of
tax foreclosure sales all over Ameri
ca—all these have forced land prices
far below what they are likely to be
again within the average reader’s
life time. The super-flood of real
estate offered on a depressed market
has had much the same effect that
putting 50,000,000 bales of cotton
on the market in.a single year would
have on cotton prices.
Of course in spite of this warning,
many a subscriber will still miss his
chance and say ten years from now:
“I do wish I had bought some land
when it was so cheap back in 1933.”
But at any rate, we have called at
tention to what we are confident will
long be talked about as “the oppor
tunity of a life time.”—Progressive
Farmer.

man of the rules committee of the

Hill, with Democrats and Republi
cans.
Hon. James A. Farley, Postmaster
General in President Franklin D.
Roosevelt’s Cabinet, is spending a
few days in New York, and at Deal
Beach, New Jersey.
— o—

EVEN A THIRD-LOAF HELPS
It will not be all cakes and ale
with the National Industrial Recov
ery Act. There will be the errors,
the failures, the follies, the wrongs
that attend every human undertak
ing. Indeed, if we waited for per
fect plans and absolute successes in
this wprld we would do nothing but
Sit, “like Patience on a monument
smiling at Grief.” But any degree
of success, any half-loaf or third-loaf
of relief will be highly welcome af
ter opr experience of the last three
years.
In a book, “Business Under the
Recovery Act,” just published by
McGraw-Hill, the authors, Lawrence
Vallenstein and E. B. Weiss, after
going the length of flaw-picking, con
clude thus: “Despite the loopholes,
despite the inability of humans to
change overnight, to conform to the
lofty aims of this new legislation—
despite all these things, the Nation
al Industrial Recovery Act will, in
the opinion of the present writers,
accomplish sufficient good, so that, if
business is better when two years are
up, it will continue on the statute
book.”
That be it noted, is the broad con
cession of critics. The millions who
are freely co-operating under the act
have much higher hopes.—Atlanta
Journal.

I’'HBKI
To Show Foods at Chicago Fair
A SALIENT feature of the
great Century of Progress
International Exposition at
Chicago which opened its gates to
the public on the first of June
is a showing of what science and
Industry have done to improve the
conditions governing food and its
distribution. These conditions in
clude quality, cleanliness, variety,
palatability and convenience. Sci
ence and industry have made im
mense strides in these directions
during the last few decades, and
one of the recent industrial ten
dencies has been to gather under
one administrative control a group
tof the pick of the best foods with
which the public is familiar,
That is what General Foods Cor
poration has done, and the reason
why its exhibit in the impressive
Agriculture and Foods building is
always crowded is because this
exhibit indudes well known and
widely used breakfast foods,
gelatins, cake flour, tapiocas,
chocolate, cocoa, coconut, decaf
feinated coffee, maple flavored
syrup, coffee, tea, baking powder,
bottled pectin for use in making
jams and. jellies, high grade salt,
frosted foods and many more.
There are eighty General Foods
products in all, including even
aids to washing and ironing.
An Unusal Method
An unusual method has been
adopted to make .clear to the
massed crowds just how these
foods are produced and in what
forms they are presented to the
public. On one of the largest re
volving stages ever built General
Foods is presenting sixteen
scenic productions featuring each
of its nationally advertised prod
ucts, and telling itp dramatic
story through a variety of highly
Interesting and unique mediums.
Eight of the performances are
given simultaneously for a period
of two minutes. The other eight
come on for the same length of
time, following an intermission of
ten seconds. So a person standing

before one stage can see the entire
sixteen shows by merely standing
still because of the revolving me
chanism. This has proved an ad
mirable piece of forethought as
it would be difficult to circulate
from one stage to another in the
dense crowd.
As each of the shows is com
pleted, sliding panel aluminum
doors close amid a splendor of
changing colored lights focused
on the front of the stages. At the
same time, gigantic packages in
full relief, towering ten feet above
the stages, move in review until
the beginning of the next series
of shows. Multi-colored spot
lights play on these cartons' which
are brilliantly lacquered, as they
are in motion. These mammoth
packages, when stationary, serve
to identify the show going on
below them.
Products and Photographs
Large display cases, framed In
curved glass and brilliantly
lighted, contain interesting ar
rangements of these principal
products and of approximately
fifty other brands manufactured
by the various General Foods
units. Lining the_ backgrounds of
the cabinets are photographic
murals of appetizing food subjects
—dishes of cereal and fruit, jelly,
beverages, cakes, pies, salads, des
serts, and many more. The cases
are located at the bases of massive
illuminated columns, half of them
rising to a height of thirty-five
feet. These columns are twenty
feet apart, and a triple tier of
aluminum discs tops the columns
and supports the structure over
head. A
Architecturally the exhibit
strikes a fresh modern note. In
beauty, color and lighting effects
it is appropriately attuned to the
modern spirit which characterizes
the exposition. A color scheme of
orange Vermillion, black, and
aluminum is emphasized through
out the structure. The floor sur

A Monster Cook Book
At the north end of the exhibit
the new General Foods Cook
Book, which'has proved so pop
ular with American housewives,
is being displayed and sold. A
large reproduction of the Cook
Book, with its pages constantly
turning, is located above the dis
play and shows women visitors
the many worthwhile features of
fered in the book. Four experi
enced home economic experts as
sociated with the company’s con
sumer service department are in
charge of these Cook Book activ
ities. In addition, a dozen recipe
booklets regularly distributed by
the company free of charge are
being displayed and offered to
visitors who wish to have them
mailed to their homes.
At the south end of the space
a graphic story of General Foods
as an institution is told in large
photographic murals. A map and
pictures show the location of the
company’s various plants, and
division, district and sub-district
offices; its manufacturing and re
search activities; the work of its
consumer service department; and
its service to various trade
groups.
Quick Frosted Foods, Too
Adjacent to the Cook Book
booth and occupying a prominent
location at the northwest corner
of the exhibit, quick-frosted foods,
the company’s newest develop
ment, are being shown and demon
strated. The complete line of
foods—packaged meats, poultry,
seafood, vegetable and fruit —com-
prising some sixty items, are in
cluded in this exhibit. w
A balcony extending over the
entire length of the exhibit is
being used as an office by the com
pany’s Fair personnel, and serves
as headquarters for General
Foods’ guests and organization.*
