Farmers Getting Higher
Prices For Products
The farm price index at 111 for
April 15 was 3 points above March,
according to information received by
W. Hill llosch, county agent, from
the U. S. bureau of Agricultural
Economics. Prices for 28 farm pro
ducts advanced during the month,
prices for 11 products declined, and
prices of 2 products were unchanged.
Prices of fruit were up 15 points
for the month; chickens and eggs, up
8 points; grain, up 4; dairy products,
up S; cotton and cottonseed, up 1;
and truck crops, down 6. Indexes
for meat animals and miscellaneous
farm commodities were unchanged.
The bureau reports the index of
prices for all farm products was 29
points higher in mid-April this year
than last, notwithstanding lower
prices than a year ago on potatoes,
iambs, wool, sweet potatoes, pears,
and tobacco.
Compared with a year ago, the
index of prices of truck crops is up
58 points; meat animals, up 53
points; grain, up 38; chickens and
eggs, |> 38; dairy products, up 26;
cotton and cottonseed, up 9; and
fruit, up 9.
The index of prices paid by farm
ers wa- 128 on April 15, compared
with 127 on March 15, and with 120
on April 15 last year. The ratio of
prices received to prices paid was
87 on April 15, compared with 35
on March 16, and with (58 in mid-
April a year ago.
Cotton prices averaged 11.7 cents
a pound on April 15, having advanc
ed from 11.5 cents on March 15.
The advance is attributed io deple
tion of reserve mill stocks of lint
cotton, scarcity of offerings at prices
below the loan value of the crop,
and to a general rise in prices of
speculative commodities.
A Word About Revivals
W. H. Faust
Habakkuk, God’s spokesman in
the long ago, prayed this prayer for
his people. It was the supreme
need in those days as it is of the
pre.-mt tiipe. To live anew, to give
fort'n power, to he strengthened for
the purpose of helping others is to
produce an atmosphere in which
God can do His great work in the
lives of His people.
There are numbers of things that
we regai and as essential today—mon
ey, for instance, seems to be abso
lutely necessary. It will build hous
es, acquire friends, promote institu
tions, furnish the sinew- of both war
and ponce, and place at our disposal
the comforts and necessities as well
as the luxuries of life. Education
seems to be badly needed in order
that trained people may promote
the best interest of humanity every
where.
Better highways, and finer armies,
and larger navies are among the
things that some think the world
stands in need of just now. But
more than money, force, education,
wealth, influence, power, is needed
a revival of old-fashioned, Holy
Ghost inspired and promoted reli
gion. The kind that will make us
love each other, and seek each oth
er's best interests above our own.
A revival that will promote pray
er and family worship, one that will
stress God’s ownership even to the
tithe, and His authority to the very
limit in using us as His servants and
sons as He sees fit.
A revival is needed that will em
phasize the value of brotherliness,
and friendliness, and put love to the
fore. For when we love our neigh
bors we will do all in our power to
help them.
A revival that will properly evalu
ate church membership and cause us
to feel a just pride in belonging to
the family of God. It is going to
take a vast deal of prayer, and
worship, and work, to bring this
about, and yet all things are possible
with God. To believers there are
no unscalable heights, there are no
rivers that can not be crossed. No
tasks that are too hard, no loyalties
that can not be enjoyed. If our
churches could be genuinely revived,
and possess in reality the joy of
Christ they could bring sinners by
the scores into a saving knowledge
of Christ. Let our prayer be, “Lord,
send a revival, and let it begin in
me.”

GEORGIA HIGH SCHOOLS
WILL GRADUATE 18.000
Nearly 18,000 boys and girls in
Georgia will receive high school di
plomas this spring in comparison
with approximately 16,000 graduates
last year, it was announced recently
by Dr. M. D. Collins, state superin
tendent of education.
He produced figures showing a
bout 16,000 girls and boys will finish
in white schools and approximately
1,800 in negro schools.
"Graduates in the negro schools
will increase about 50 per cent this
year over 1934," he said. Last year
1,200 received diplomas from negro
schools.
White graduates totaled 14,000,
showing a 15 per cent increase in
1935.
There are 409 accredited high
schools in the state and three of
them have the twelfth grade, which
allows graduates in most instances
to enter the second year in colleges
and universities. These are at Ma
con, Savannah and Atlanta,
THE PAST
The* debt is paid,
The verdict said,
The Furies laid, %
The plague is stayed,
All fortunes made;
Turn the key and bolt the door
Sweat is death forevermore.
Nor haughty hope, nor smart cha-
grin,
Nor murdering hate can enter in.
All is now secure and fast;
Not the gods can shake the past;
Flies-to the adamantine door,
Bolted down forevermore.
None can re-enter there —
No thief so politic,
No satan with a royal\trick
Steal in by window, chink or hole,
To bind or unbind, add what lack
ed,
Insert a leaf or forge a name.
New-face or finish what is packed,
Alter or mend eternal Fact.
Ralph Waldo Emerson.

THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
WISCONSIN CHEESE LAW
In order to increase the use of
cheese, one of the state’s important
products, the Wisconsin Assembly
has passed a law requiring that
one-third of an ounce of cheese must
be provided as a part of every meal
costing 25 cents or more served by
any hotel or restaurant in the state.
The bill was passed by a Urge ma
jority, although one lady legislator
objected on the ground that it
would tend to increase the waist
line of Wisconsin women.
Fortunately for those who do not
like cheese, the law does not require
them to actually eat it. A restau
rant patron may take his portion
home and bait a mousetrap with it
if he prefers.
When using whipped cream in
frozen desserts do not whip too stiff.
Beautiful Berries
W HY not go berrying today?
It needn’t be a long, hard
trip, since your objective
need merely he the nearest gro
cery store. And It needn’t be
arduous either, as you will find
there blackberries, blueberries,
gooseberries, loganberries and
raspberries all picked and clean
and ready to be eaten —in cans.
But the point is how to serve
them after you have come back.
Here are some ways that we
would suggest: #
Blackberry Trifle: Spread
three-fourths cup cornflakes in
the bottom of a well-buttered
baking dish and cover with one
cup of drained canned blackber
ries. Sprinkle one-fourth cup
sugar over, dot with one table
spoon butter, and cover with an
other three-fourths cup of corn
flakes. Pour in the blackberry
syrup, and bake in a moderate —
375 degree oven for thirty
minutes. Serves four and has the
advantage of costing not more
than a quarter.
Tarts and Blanc Mange
Blueberry Tarts: Line tart
shells with pastry. Mix two cups
canned blueberries, four table
spoons flour, one tablespoon sugar
and one tablespoon lemon juice,
and fill shells with this mixture.
Bake in a hot oven—42s degrees
—for from fifteen to twenty
minutes.
Jellied Blanc Mange: Sotten
one tablespoon gelatin in four
tablespoons cold water. Beat two
egg yolks slightly, add six table
spoons sugar, a few grains c?f salt
and two cups scalded diluted
evaporated milk. Cook in double
boiler until It coats the spoon.
Add the gelatin and stir until ills
solved. Cool, add one-half tea
spoon vanilla and pour into wet
molds. Chill. Turn out and pour
over one cup cold canned rasp
berries. Serves six.
And how about loganberry
shortcake and the dozens of other
dishes you can make with rasp
berries? Why not go berrying
today ?* 0 '
