Georgia Community Starved Out
Pink 801 l Worm
Enigma, Ga. —Farmers in an area
of about 700 acres in this vicinity
are watching their cotton grow a
gain, after a lapse of one year caus
ed by a slight infestation of the
pink boll worm, one of the most
dreaded cotton pests.
The worm was found in gin trash
in this vicinity in 1933, and in 1934,
no cotton was grown; instead, the
entire acreage in the threatened area
was rented by the federal govern
ment in connection with its cotton
reduction program.
The “starvation” plan of eradi
cation was attempted in this vicinity,
and apparently government agents
are satisfied that the worm is elimi
nated or under control. They are
still watching the situation, how
ever. . „
I AM THE FARMER
I am the provider for all mankind.
Upon me every human being con
stantly depends.
A world itself is builded upon my
toil, my products, my honesty.
Because of my industry, America,
my country, leads the world. Her
prosperity Is maintained by me; her
great commerce is the work of my
good hands; her "balance of trade"
springs from the furrows of* my
farm.
My reaper brings food today; my
plow holds promise tor tomorrow.
In war I am absolute; in peace 1
am indispensible—my country’s sur
est defense and constant reliance.
I am the very soul of America,
the hope of the race, the balance
wheel of civilization.
When I prosper men are happy;
when I fail all the world suffers.
I live with nature, walk in the
green fields under the golden sun
light, out in the great alone where
brain and brawn arid toil supply
mankind’s primary needs. And I
try to do my humble part to carry
out the great plan of God.
Even the birds are my compan
ion?; they greet me with a symphony
at the new day’s dawn and chum
with me till the evening prayer is
said.
If it were not for me the treasures
of the earth would rer. ain securely
naked; the granaries would be use
less names; man himself would be
doomed speedily to extinction or de
cay.
Through me is produced the ener
gy that maintains the spark of life.
I rise with the early dawn and re
tire when the “chores” of the world
are done.
1 am your true friend.
I am the Farmer.
—Dallas New Era.
SHAN’T STEAL THE SHOW
All denials to the contrary, it
seems that Talmadge did rebuke
Tom Linder, commissioner of agricul
ture, for using The Market Bulletin
to propagate his crued and inflam
matory notions about “secession."
At any rate, the propaganda has sud
denly ceased.
The amusing part is that Talmadge
himself, as commissioner of agricul
ture, was as bad an offender as Lin-
der has been later in misusing The
Market Bulletin. It is perfectly
clear that The Bulletin was authoriz
ed by the Legislature for the pur
pose of disseminating market news
to the farmers—only that and noth
ing more. But Talmadge, as com
missioner of agriculture, used it as
a political organ until the Legisla
ture, in 1931, embodied in its gener
al appropriation act a provision that
The Market Bulletin would be sus
pended by Governor Russell if Tal
madge kept on printing political
editorials in it.
Of course Linder’s ravings about
secession were particularly stupid,
but everybody understands that the
real reason Talmadge rebuked him
was that he can “bear no brother
near the throne."
So now there is no more danger
that Linder will run away with the
show while Talmadge stages his
own rebellion against the United
States government.—Macon News.
