I am a June Bug

Designed to do anything
But jusit go zuning round.
I am a June Bug
Gifted with green back and golden

Born in merry month of June,
To my King, praises I love to sing
Troubles, I never seek to assume,
I am a June Bug
Basking in the Southland Sun
Displaying my green back and gold
en wings
Actual enjoying worlds of fun.
Singing praises to my King.
I am a June Bug
Fully grown, healthy and sound,
Zuning round my manger mound
Seeking service of a lightning bug,
To light the way into town,
I am a June Bug
Bred and born business June bug,
In my rich manger mound,
Wishing to meet the “Gold Bugs”
Upon arrival in their town.
I am a June Bug
I’ll fold my golden wings,
Go into their money shack,
Discuss interest of business things,
Then display my green back.
I am a June Bug
I’ll zune airound again
Lay my greenback ’gainst their gold.
Figure up my manuel gain,
Capture the pffice wished to hold
I am a June Bug
Wield the gavel a meet or two,
Set up a system sound,
Name the next place of meeting
My Rich Manger Town.
Then adjoin “Sine Die”
1 Proclaim future proclamations
From My Rich Manger Town.
Yes, I am a mighty June Bug,
Just zuning around.

To embark on your vacation tour,
You are cordially invited
To rest where green backs float

Perfect service rendered before
precious self,
Now, I’ll just go zuning around,

JACKSON HOUSEWIFE’S
NEEDLE DOES EXTRA
BREADWINNING DUTY
(By Doylo Jones, Jr., Farm Security
Administration)
“A stitch in time saves nine,”
but the skilled needle of Mrs. Hines
B. Whitfield, wife of a Jackson coun
ty tenant purchase borrower of the
Farm Security Administration, does
more than that. It saves the wo
men of Jefferson and Jackson coun
ty needless work and worry with
their sewing and brings her an aver
age yearly income of S3OO.
“Take it to Mi’s. Whitfield, she’ll
fix it for you” are oftenheard words
in her community. Women inadept
at sewing or without the time or
patience keep Mrs. Whitfield flood
ed with requests for work. Her bed
room with its multitude of dresses,
gowns, etc., resembles a fashion shop
and the women keep the road hot
driving to and from her home for
fittings.
Last year Mrs. Whitfield made
over $330 at her sewing and still
found time for her ever-numerous
farm duties. “That’s the trouble,”
she said, “I could double my work
and income, too, off my sewing if it
were possible for me to devote my
entire time to it, but that is out of
the question. I put my duties to
the home first and am glad in my
spare time to make the little extra
money by sewing. Often I work
late at night and Mr. Whitfield wor
ries about my eyea, hut with our
new electric lights I make out fine.”
The Whitfields recently moved to
their new 120-acre tenant purchase
farm two miles south of Jefferson.
There are four children, three in the
Jefferson high school and one in a
CCC camp. The elder daughter,
Elizabeth, 16, inherits her mother’s
talent with the needle and has al
ready won several 4-H Club prizes
in sewing and clothing.
The family has been on the FSA
program two years, and, according
to Isaac W Wheeless, Jacksoin super
visor, they have made one of the best
records in that county. Wheeless
estimates their cash income in 1940
as over SBSO and the $330 Mrs.
Whitfield earned by her sewing
about matched that made by her
husband on his cotton. They keep
the best record book in Jackson
county and Wheeless predicts a
bright future for them.
STRAY NEEDLE REMOVED FROM
WOMAN’S THIGH
Carrollton, Ga.—When a knot ap
j peared five weeks ago on Miss Alma
Moore’s thigh, attended by sharp
pain, doctors first attributed it to a

An X-ray revealed a needle. It
was removed from near the thigh
bone.
Miss Moore, a seamstress, said
she could not recall when the needle
might have entered, the flesh.

“Seeds of Prosperity”
Old King Cotton assumes a larger
and larger place in the industrial
picture of America every year. Cot
ton forms the basis for such prod
ucts as automobile tires, photograph
ic film, soap, lacquer, cosmetics, and
the plastic ingredients that go to
make up telephones, radios, nad ma
ny other conveniences important to
our daily comfort and necessity.
And so the release of a one-reel
motion picture, “Seeds of Prosper
ity” comes with particular timeli
ness. This is a picture that dramat
ically portrays the problems of the
cotton farmer, and the threatening
scourge that menaces his crop. The.
picture dramatizes the thrilling fight
that science is making for the bene
fit of farmers, industry and the
whole nation—the fight against the
boll weevil, the diseases such as
anthracnose, angular leaf spot, sore
shin, and boll rot.
These scourges of the south’s cot
ton fields are being conquered at
last und the farmer and scientist,
hand in hand, sow the seeds which
will defy disease and bring a harvest
of prosperity to the South.
This film is being shown at Roose
velt Theatre through the courtesy
of Farmer’s Warehouse, on February
27th and 28th.
