PROSPERITY SIGN
BECOMING VISIBLE
THROUGHOUT STATE
Atlanta.—Many things point to
ward the return pf prosperity in
Georgia. Some of them are:
A 60-million-dollar development
program to embrace city, county
and state projects virtually is assur
ed for Georgia, it was revealed by
Governor Rivers upon his return
from a recent conference in Wash
ington.
Work for Georgia's unemployed
within thirty days was assured by
the state as it moved for speedy
launching of two great building pro
grams made possible by President
Roosevelt’* $1,000,000,000 spend
ing-lending recovery program.
Increase of ten per cent in feder
al funds will be made available to
Georgia counties to pay old-age pen
sions and aid the blind and depend
ent children, and the WPA will in
crease its expenditure for work re
lief to at least two million dollars
monthly to care for 10,000 persons
in immediate need.
Dividend checks totaling more
than five million dollars have just
been mailed to investors in corpor
ations operating in Georgia.
Fourth Corps Area army officials
announced that 1,822 new CCC
members are being recruited in
Georgia. Enlistments began July 1.
All salaries of teachers of the
common schools of Georgia have
been paid in full. They received a
total of $14,139,798.22 for the fiscal
year, which ended July 1.
Allotment of more than $1,100,-
000 for improvements at two Geor
gia army posts—Fort Benning and
Fort McPherson—is announced by
the PWA.
Farmers in various sections of the
state face a year of plenty and a fall
of prosperity if crop prices are any
where near normal, according to re
ports from over the state.
A promising tobacco market will
open earlier this year in South
Georgia.
Then, too, this is election year
which always sees the flow of addi
tional money.
And above all, when the President
of the United States says: “In sim
ple frankness and in simple honesty,
1 need all the help I can get,” it can
rosult in but one thing—he’ll get
the help necessary to bring back
prosperity to this country.
It looks like Georgia and the
South again will lead the way.
GEORGIA ORDERS
FOR YOUNG PINES
NEAR 5 MILLION
Atlanta.—Orders for 4,834,900
young pine trees have been received
at the state’s two nurseries at Al
bany and Flowery Branch, Forester
Frank Heyward said.
“The orders are piling in,” Hey
ward said, “some individuals buying
up to a quarter million trees. The
total sold last year by the state was
3,260,000. That was all we pro
duced.”
He listed among the purchasers
A. H. Croom, Pembroke, 200,000
trees; VV. H. Callan, Scott, 200,000;
A. T. Fuller, Oeilla, 260,000; G. L.
Hinson, Hazlehurst, 160,000; R. K.
Whitehead, Baxley, 100,000; Cason
Callaway, LaGrange, 400,000; K. S.
Varn, Hoboken, 100,000; the Chico
pee Manufacturing Company, near
Gainesville, 100,000, and S. E. Van
diver, of Lavonia, 100,000.
The state nurseries charge $2 per
thousand for these seedlings, de
livered, a cut under last year’s price,
Heyward said.
Two other types of trees grown at
the nurseries are black locust, long
lasting as fence post material, and
black walnut, for furniture.
Heyward warned that locusts and
walnuts, unlike pines, must have
good soil on which to grow.
BEGIN TODAY
Dream not too much of what you’ll
do tomorrow,
How well you’ll work perhaps anoth
er year;
Tomorrow’s chance you do not heed
to borrow—
Today is here.
Boast not too much of mountains
you will master,
The while you linger in the vale be
low;
To dream is well, but plodding brings
us faster
To where we go.
Swear not some day to break some
habit’s fetter,
When this old year is dead and pass
ed away;
If you have need of living wiser,
better,
Begin today!

Haddock’s New Cannery
Buys Peaches
The new cannery of the Blood
worth Brothers started operations at
Haddock last Thursday, stopping
some of the peach shipments that
wero being made to the North. The
pcuches will be canned for the mark
et instead of being shipped raw.
Contracts had been made with sev
eral growers for run-of-the-orchard
peaches to be gathered just a few
hours before softening.
One grower said the canneries in
Jones county now have a capacity
that will enable them eventually to
use practically all of the peaches the
county can grow, and all of the Cali
fornia propaganda against Georgia
canned peaches is entirely disproved.
“The cannery affords us a oetter
market than we can get through
brokers,” continued the grower,
“and we can afford to sell to them
at less price because we don’t have
to cull for size, and we don’t have
to take ihances with manipulated
slumps in markets. We have been
gathering three bushels of peaches
this season to get two that we could
sell. The peaches rejected because
of small size equal one-third of our
crop. The canner can use all reason
able sizes, and it is better to sell to
him at fifty-five cents than to ship
the selected peaches at a dollar.
“We’ve had another experience
this year. The truckers have been
willing to buy our peaches at the
orchard for as much as we’ve been
getting for them in New York or
other large centers. Thus by deal
ing with the truckers save the cost
of transportation and avoid all mar
ket risks. For a time our brokers
bought from us f. o. b. our shipping
station, but recently we have been
required to deliver at the market
place. You can see, then, how we
welcome the trucker and the can
ner.”
All through the peach belt com
munity canneries and home canning
have consumed more of the orchard
output than at any time in history.

AT THE POOL OF BETHESDA
I cried unto hearts merely human,
Self-righteous, and cloaked in a
creed;
Though helpless, nor man nor wo
man
Could I call to my hour of need.
Not for me were the healing waters;
Unsightly, by bigots unseen, unseen,
From Israel’s sons and fair daugh
ters
I could hear but the taunt, “Un
clean.”
In my depths of shame and disaster,
The fruits of my sin and disease—
Came love in the voice of the Mas
ter,
My body to heal, by spirit to ease.
O, Christ, my chains Thou’st riven,
From death unto life I’m free!
A body made whole, a soul forgiven
I consecrate, Lord, to Thee.
