State Asked To Help War On Screw
Worm
Quitman, Ga.—Declaring that the
infestation of screw worm flies in
southern Georgia is a major calami
ty and will destroy the live stock in
dustry, County Farm Agent Gaddis
is appealing to the state board of
entomology to organize a campaign
to help the farmers hold it in check.
The United States veterinary service
has held mass meetings, instructed
farmers as to how to fight the pest
and treat cattle, but nothing else has
been done.
It is reported that farmers are be
coming discouraged and feel that
they are making little headway. The
ravages of the screw worm are de
stroying many animals and those
Which do not die cannot be market
ed or used for home meat supplies.
Two authentic cases of human beings
being attacked, one in this county
and one in Lowndes county, were re
ported this week.
C. C. C. Boys Gain Weight On Uncle
Sam ’s Food
Washington.—An estimated aver
age gain of 12 pounds in the weight
of civilian conservation corps work
ers during the summer and fall was
announced today by Robert O. Fech
*ier, director.
The average was based on unof
ficial reports on the examination of
30,000 men who are accepting dis
charges to take outside work. The
trains, the reports said, vary from 5
to 30 pounds each.
As the men are discharged, army
medical corps officers are taking
the weight and height of each. Later
these figures will be checked with
corresponding data taken for each
tnan on enlistment.
SAREPTA BAPTIST
Statistics of the Sarepta Baptist
association, which was in session
September 26th and 27th at Cloud’s
Creek church in Oglethorpe county,

in its bounds Clarke county, most of
Oglethope and Madison counties,
parts of Jackson, Banks, Elbert and
Oconee counties. Its officers are:
John D. Mell, Athens, moderator; Z.
B. Rogers, Elberton, vice-moderator;
W. K. Carswell, Athens, clerk; A. P.

W. W. Armistead, Crawford; H. T.
Brookshire, Elberton; Mrs. W. P.

and benevolences was $8,217.74,

ported by the churches for all pur
poses $58,203.78. Only four of
these churches reported owning pas
tors’ homes. These are valued at
$35,000. The total value of church
property as reported by the churches
is $686,300.
This was the 134th annual session
of the Sarepta Association, and the
145th anniversary of Cloud’s Creek

association was organized in 1799,
and Cloud’s Creek church in 1788.
BRYAN A NOBLE PROPHET
“A few days after my arrival in
the Capitol, I visisted beautiful Ar
lington Cemetery, where rest the
mortal remains of so many of our
heroic dead, and one of the very first
mounds I sought for was that of Mr.
Bryan, whose greatness comes to be
recognized to an increasing extent
with the passing of the years. This
noble prophet and seer was always
in advance of his time and was the
first to advocate a Federal income
tax, direct election of United States
Senators, woman suffrage, publicity
of campaign expenses, and free and
unlimited coinage of silver in the
ratio of 16 to 1, and every one of
these reforms has been written into
law excepting the last named—the
most important of them all—and it
now becomes only a question of a
brief period of time when it also will
be the law of the land. We have
witnessed in our day the terribly sad
tragedy aganst which Bryan warned
us 40 years ago, “the crucifixion of
mankind on a cross of gold.”—Hon.
Martin F. Smith of Washington, in
Congress.
KEEP CHEERFUL
Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. When you
smile or laugh, your brain for the
moment is freed from the load that
it ordinarily carries.
Learn to tell a helpful story. A
well-told story' is as wholesome and
as welcome as a sunbeam in a sick
room.
Learn to keep your troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to
linger over your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. If you
cannot see any good in the world,
keep the bad to yourself.
Learn to greet your friends with a
smile. They carry too many frowns
in their own hearts to be bothered
with any of yours.

ADVICE FOR GARDENERS
At this season it is wise to remove
all trash and mulching material from
our gardens. The best way to do
this is to spade it under. The reason
for this is that just now millions of
insects are hunting a place to pass
the winter, and weeds, grass and the
mulch in your garden may be just the
place these insects are looking for.
Besides, it is always wise to spade
material into the soil every fall to
make humus for another year. Of
course an important part of doing
this now is to prevent insects hiber
nating in the garden. Thousands of
insects have also run into the soil,
each one digging a little chamber,
and plastering it to make it water
proof, and unless prevented will pass
the winter. Spading the soil breaks
up these little winter chambers and
no insect lives readily over winter in
direct contact with the soil. It is
well, also, to sow some good cover
crop in most of the garden at this
time. It is doubtful whether there is
anything more satisfactory for this
purpose than common rye. It grows
rapidly, is relished by few insects or
fungus diseases and therefore does
not infect the garden. It does pre
vent washing and is a good protec
tion against the freezing and thaw
ing of the winter—the most destruc
tive agent in our winter > gardens.
Sow the rye rather thickly, say a
pound of seed to every two square
rods. Rake it in lightly and it will
do the rest.
WAIT
If but one message I may leave be
hind,
One single word of courage for my
kind,
It would be this—Oh, brother, sister,
friend, *
Whatever life may bring, what God
may send,
No matter whether clouds life soon
or late,
Take heart and wait.
Despair may tangle darkly at your
feet,
Your faith be dimmed, and hope,
once cool and sweet,
Bo lost; but suddenly above a hill,
A heavenly lamp, set on a heavenly
sill
Will shine for you and point the way
to go,
How well I know.
For I have waited through the dark,
and I
Have seen a star rise in the blackest
sky
Repeatedly—it has not failed me yet.
And I have learned God never will
forget
To light His lamp. If we but wait
fpr it
It will be lit.

We made a mistake in the Sentinel

about it. That same day we called
No. 98 over the telephone and got
198. There was a letter in our box
at the postoffice that didn’t belong to
us. We asked for a spool of No. 50
thread and when we got home we
found it was No. 60. The train was
reported thirty minutes late. We ar
rived at the depot twenty minutes
after train time and the train was
gone. We got our milk bill and there
was a mistake of 10 cents in our fa

we were eating too much meat. We
hadn’t tasted meat in two months.
The garage man said the jitney was
missing and needed anew timer. We
cleaned a spark plug and it’s run fine

THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
If a drawer runs unevenly an<
causes trouble in opening and shut
ting, it is not always necessary t<
have recourse to the carpenter. Fre
quently the very simple method ol
rubbing a little soap on the innei
edges of the drawers will overcome
this difficulty.
000
As soon as the surface of the
earth is frozen, cover ground over
tulips with a mulch three or four
inches deep made of leaves and light
manure, so that bulbs will not freeze
during the winter.
000
When polishing brass knobs, slip
over each knob a protection in the
shape of a piece of fairly thick brown
paper. This prevents soiling the
woodwork with the polish and also
smearing one’s knuckles with it.
Georgia farmers are warned by
Harry L. Brown, assistant director of
the Georgia Agricultural Extension
Service, that it is necessary that re
placement crops on land taken out
of cotton production be confined to
those that are to be used for food
or feed, or for soil improvement.
Mr. Brown cites a clause in the cot
ton reduction contract that says the
acreage taken out of cotton produc
tion is to be planted solely to crops
for food or feed for home use, or to
soil improvement or erosion-preven
tion crops. Georgia farmers are
urged to heed to this phase of their
contract in planning their fall small
grain crops.
