is seeking to promote, and when an
entire community is willing to co-ope
rate in the endeavor, a well-rounded
schedule of such activities is made
possible for everyone.
It is our hope that the people of
Cairo and of Grady county Will sup
port this much needed program.
By Leland Moore, Pastor,
Cairo Methodist Church.
Among the major problems of mod
ern civilization are those of providing
facilities and proper direction for the
athletic and recreational activities of
young people and safeguarding their
leisure hours, so that their natural
and legitimate physical, recreational
J adequately
met under a wholesome invironment.
Every person who is to become a
good citizen in the completest sense
of the word must have an opportunity
to develop and maintain a sound phys
ique and to learn to “play the game”
lof life on such bases as those contem
plated in so many of the provisions
now being made by competent and
reputable community welfare work
ers who genuinely appreciate and are
seeking to help the youth of today.
No community has any greater res
ponsibility than that of providing fa
cilities for meeting such needs of the
youth and providing such circumstan
ces as to keep them forever removed
from demoralizing influences.
Numbers of churches and many of
the very best church people have often
seemed to overlook the demand for
clean sports and wholesome recrea
tion Which the physical, intellectual
and spiritual welfare of young people
continually and emphatically make,
while various commercial agencies, ac
tuated mainly by a desire for personal
and pecuniary gain, in many instances,
have entered this field providing fa
cilities for these legitimate needs, but
introducing along with them other fea
tures which are obviously illegitimate
and positively vicious, such as certain
community centers of questionable
repute, road-houses, etc., of the pres
ent day. However, the negletc at this
point is now being realized by our bet
ter citizens and church people, and a
new day dawns in which such needs
are to be met.
The Cairo Athletic Club is a pioneer
in our community in the effort to pro
mote and to provide for a larger and
a finer program of athletic activities,
under wholesome influences, for the
young men and young Women of
'Cairo. No more con
structive project has been enterprized
in Cairo in many a day thap that
which this organization is now under
taking.
Hence, they deserve and shall have
the heartiest co-cperation from the
community as a whole and from ev
ery individual citizen.
By Wilburn S. Smith, Pastor,
First Baptist Church.
In sponsoring the movement to pro
vide wholesome and adequate recre
ational facilities for the youth of our
community the Cairo Athletic Club
j is rendering a timely service. It is my
j earnest hope that such a movement
| will receive the whole-hearted and co-ope- who
ration of every man woman
has the physical, social, and normal
welfare of our young people at heart.
The play instinct is normal and uni
versal. Young people are going to
find an outlet for the recreational
urge. The question is where Will they
find it? The answer is largely with
the citizens of Cairo. Will the people
of Cairo provide suitable playgrounds,
games, equipment, tennis courts, etc.,
_ of
to meet the recreational needs our
young people ? Or, will the people of
Cairo leave our young people to seek
their recreational satisfactions in
questionable places such as the road
houses, gambling dens, dance halls,
etc ?
It will cost something to supply
these needs. It will cost more not to
supply them'
Yours fo r more play!

FARM OUTLOOK FOR
GEORGIA IN 1939
By Georgia Agricultural
Extension Service.
Continued From Previous Weeks.)
TRUCK CROPS FOR MARKET.
The relatively low prices received
by growers .of important truck crops
for fresh market shipment in 1938
will probably result in a slight re
duction of 1 the total acreage and pro
duction in the United States for 1939.
If production is reduced somewhat and
consumer purchasing power improves
as much as is now in prospect, prices
and incomes received by producers of
these truck crops as a class will be
somewhat higher in 1939 than they
were in 1938.
Snap Beans.
Five southern states (Georgia,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
South Carolina), growing a second
early crop of beans, increased their
acreage 7 per cent in 1938, and their
production of 1,538,000 bushels was
30 per cent larger than the 1937 crop.
Prices continued to decline as these
second-early supplies reached the
market, and growers received an av
erage of only 60 cents per bushel. The
year before, the average price to pro
ducers in this group of states was
$1.25. It is probable that these lower
prices will cause growers to reduce
the acreage sharply in 1939.
Tomatoes.
With the near record crop of to
matoes in the second early states,
(Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, S.
Carolina, and Texas, excluding the
lower valley) following record high
crops in the two sections of the early
states, the prices received by grow
ers of 72 cents per bushel Were the
lowest ever recorded and less than
half the price received for the 1937
crop. A reduction of acreage in these
states is expected in 1939. The acre
age in 1938 was about 21 per cent
above 1937 and the production 27
per cent higher.
Potatoes.
The acreage planted to potatoes in
1939 is expected to be less than in
1938. With average yields, on this
smaller acreage, production of pota
toes in 1939 would total about 310,
000,000 bushels. A crop of this size
would be nearly 63,000,000 bushels
less than is estimated for 1938 (Oct.
1) and about 60,000,000 bushels less
than the 10-year, 1927-36, average.
If present prospects for a smaller
production of potatoes and improved
consumer purchasing ower in 1939
materialize, both rices and income re
ceived by growers for the United
States as a whole from potatoes
should be materially higher than in
other recent years.
Cabbage.
In the second early states (Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and the Norfolk and
Eastern Shore sections of Virginia)
a record sized crop of cabbage was
produced in 1938. In response to the
relatively high prices received in this
area for the 1937 crop, the acreage
in 1938 was increased slightly and
yields per acre were unusually heavy.
The 1938 production of 118,600 tons
was nearly 22 per cent above the 19-
37 crop and about 40 per cent above
the 1927-36 average. This larger crop,
together with lower purchasing power
of consumers compared with a year
earlier, resulted in prices to growers
about 50 per cent lowA- than in 1937,
and probably will cause the acreage
planted to cabbage in this area in 19-
39 to be reduced sharply from that
harvested in 1938.
Greater Risks In Truck
Crops.
Before Georgia farmers shift fur
ther from the production of field
crops to vegetables, they should give
careful consideration to the higher
costs and greater risks involved in
the production of perishable crops, and
to the possibility of over-supplying ex
isting markets.
Most Georgia farmers are not as
yet producing an adequate supply of
vegetables for home use. In view of
the relatively low prices for most
products which farmers have to sell,
and relatively high prices for the
things Which must be purchased, it is
highly important that Georgia far
mers in 1939 make a special effort to
produce an adequate supply of veg
etables for home use.
