tw the payment of $547,080 to the
various county and city school sys
tems in Geo'-jci*. completing payment
of the $2,337,470 appropriated to

Superintendent of School.". M. I).
Collins said the payment marked the
first time since 1931 that the full
appropriation for common schools
has been paid.
At the same time, Governor Riv
era made public a letter from State
Auditor Tom Wisdom saying suf
ficient funds were on hand or avail
able in the general fund to pay all
appropriations for the $5,750,000
half-year budget bill.
The auditor added that collections,
if they continued at a normal pace,
would create a $1,000,000 “or bet
ter” surplus to carry over into the
fiscal year beginning July 1.
The State School Board will pay
pupils or their parents 50 per cent
of the wholesale cost of school
books that are good for two or more
years’ use, and 25 per cent for
books that can be used one year, it
was announced by School Superin
tendent M. D. Collins.
The week beginning June 7 has
been declared “book buying week,”
when superintendents of all city
and county systems will purchase
privately-owned books now in use
in the system.
The department ruled no purchas
es would be made of books without
backs or with pages missiog.
In addition to buying texts from
parents, the board also will take
over books in locally-owned rental or
free systems and will mike payment
on “the basis of the cost of state
adopted books.”
HOLSTEIN WINNER
A four-year-old Holstein-Freisan
cow, owned by the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture,
stood fourth in her age-class for
milk production throughout the en
tire United States during 1936.
Dr. M. P. Jarnagin, head of the
animal husbandry department of the
college, said this cow, Jopon Aman
da, last year produced 19,868 pounds
of milk and 938 pounds of butter
to reach her high place in the na
tional honor list of milk producers.
The College cow averaged more
than six gallons of milk per day dur
ing the entire year, Jarnagin de
clared, ami on one particular day
produced nearly ten gallons. He
said the entire College herd of Hol
stein cows averaged 515 pounds of
butter per cow for the year.
With the price of milk at twelve
and a half cents per quart, Jopon
Amanda’s gross return would have
been $1,155.10, Jarnagin said, add
ing that the cow’s calf also sold at
a satisfactory price.
STATE REVENUE GAINS
$4,000,000 FOR 1937
The income of the state of Geor
gia showed a gain of more than $4,-
000,000 during the first five months
of 1937, State Auditor Tom Wisdom
reported to Governor Rivers. The
major increase came from gasoline
taxes.
The income was $15,902,500 as
compared with $11,888,265, in 1936,
the auditor reported.
Wisdom revealed that gasoline
taxes have yielded $7,874,000 this
yerr, an increase of $1,500,000 over
the same period last year.
Increases also were shown in in
come tax collections, general prop
erty taxes, malt beverage taxes and
other levies.

’’Rwt thru is true,” returned the
editor. “You are Mr. Fightwell,

“Yes, yes,” cried the other, “but

“cruel treatment” was in the records
of superior court’s divorce mill Mon

said a husband, one of 181 persons
granted verdicts in Judge A. D.
Franklin’s court.
The 181 cases also included a
wife whose husband used her as a
target, for two sets (54 each) of
dishes, and another who decided to

CAR REGISTRATION HIGHEST
IN HISTORY
Marcus McWhorter, motor vehicle
commissioner, placed vehicular reg
istrations at the highest point in the
state’s history.
McWhorter said the first five
months of the year brought in
413,752 motor registrations, or more
than 35,000 above the mark at the
corresponding time last year.
The motor commissioner said the
five-month tag sale figure was only
12,000 behind the total number sold
during all of 1936.
Collections of the bus and truck
maintenance tax have sent approxi
mately $300,000 into the state treas
ury, McWhorter said.
This amount represented collec
tions fr6m about one-seventh of
those liable for the tax, he said. A
penalty of 20 per cent of the tax
will be imposed June 15.

Arrangements have been complet
ed for a season of Metropolitan
Grand Opera in Atlanta during the
week of April 8, 1938. The return
of the Metropolitan to Atlanta marks
the end of a lapse of eight depres
sion years, the last two of which
were used to remodel and renovate
the Municipal Auditorium where an
almost new building will greet the
Met stars next year. Atlanta citi
zens, headed by Councilman John A.
White and Victor Lamar Smith, At
lonta lawyer, have been negotiating
for the opera’s return for weeks.
Prediction is made that the initial
season next April will be the most
brilliant ever held in Atlanta.
Declaring that there is plenty of
wind in Georgia to operate wind
mills successfully, G. I. Johnson, ag
ricultural engineer for the Georgia
Extension Service, has advised
farmers to try this method of pump
ing water. He said that installations
in various parts of the state and
tests by the agricultural engineering
department of the University of
Georgia College of Agriculture have
proved that Georgia winds are suffi
cient to operate windmills to pump
an adequate supply of water for the
average farm family and the live
stock on the farm.
An hour spent on the home vege
table garden yields richer returns,
according to the New York State
College of Agriculture, than the
same period of work on any other
part of the farm. As little as an
eighth of an acre will produce near
ly one hundred dollars’ worth of
savory summer food, which is a far
higher average, the same authority
says, than the value of any other
one crop. A similar survey in Geor
gia would doubtless disclose even
more striking results; and a home
garden for every farm would add
immensely to our agricultural wel
fare.

COLORED PEOPLES 4-H CLUB
NEWS
Dear Club Folks, this is my an
swer to you and others who have
asked me so often how to get rid
of bed bugs. Get oil of sassafras,
spray lightly bedsprings, bedsteads,
mattresses, quilts, walls of house;
and any bed bugs that oil touches
will die, and all others will leave the
premises. If just the bed is infect
ed, take a feather and put the oil
on the bed stead, bed springs and
bed clothing. This remedy is not
dangerous, nor unhealthy.
X X t
You who have flocks of chickens,
and are bothered with mites: clean
and spray poultry houses with a
good disinfectant, such as cheme or
earbolieum. Smear the roost for
scaly legs or itch-mites. For lice,
use sodium floride. If dusted on as
powder, use 4 parts road dust to one
part sodium fluride.
Now schools are out, and the
boys will be seen playing marbles.
To protect your knees, as well as
dothing, cut a piece of an old inner
tube 12 inches long, cut out a piece
about 8 inches long, leaving 2 inches
uncut at each end, slip the legs in
them with the cut-out behind, and
you will not soil or wear out your
clothing.
XXX
Club women, quit saying you are
tired going to club meetings to hear
things you already know, or think
you know. lAm afraid many of
you, when given a test, you will find
yourselves like the woman who
would not let her husband tell her
how to clean a rabbit he wanted for
his dinner. She told him to go on
to work, that she knew how to clean
chickens, and would have the rabbit
ready for dinner. When he return
ed he found his wife in tears, be
cause she would not listen to be told
things she thought she knew, but
did not know. She tried to pick the
rabbit, and found she could not; and
had cooked the rabbit, hair and all.
Attend your meetings. You may
learn things you think you know—
and don’t know.
Parents, I know you need your
children to help on the farm, but
don’t work them so hard that they
will hate the farm and farm life.
Make it a reasonable day’s work. Let
them attend their 4-H club meetings,
and give them play spells, and you
go with them to their meetings,
picnics and fishing parties occasion
ally. Get something out of life as
you go from day to day, and don’t
work so hard that when you come
in at night you find fault and grum
ble, doze off to sleep, before you
scan the paper, read a passage in
your Bible, and be a companion to
your wife and children. Club work
teaches boys and girls to do things
fundamentally, how to do important
things in a better way. It teaches
them thrift, and creates a desire in
them to own a home, a piece of land,
for there is tremendous satisfaction
in owning the home you live in.
You walk a little straighter. Re
member, 4-H club work merits your
stronger support. It not only teach
es you child how to farm; it
teaches them something about par
liamentary law, social customs and
manners that will make them feel
at home in any group. This is edu
cating them; for all we know is not
in books; most of our education we
get outside of books—through ob
servation and experience. Give
your children time for club work,
even if you produce a little less on
your farm. You will raise nothing
on your farm more important than
your children. These are the most
promising times we have had in any
years. We are being paid to im
prove our lands and do better farm
ing; now save, and buy a piece of
land, and you can sing in these
words:
There’s a good time a-coming.
And it’s mighty close at hand,
When I’m going to fix my cabin.
And I’m going to own some land.
I’m going to plant some cotton,
I’m going to grow some com,
I’m going to have a garden,
I’m going to make a lawn.
I’m going to be somebody,
I’m feeling mighty grand,
For I’m going to save my money,
And I’m going to own some land.
I know from observation
That the things that make a man,
Are to raise a Godly family,
And to own a piece of land.
