MISSIONARY WORK BY
THE OXFORD SOCIETY
Goal Set to Support Missionary
in The Foreign Field by Aid
of North Covington.
The Woman’s Missionary So¬
ciety of Oxford held its regular
business meeting at the Allen
Memorial Church on the first
Friday in April. The meeting
was well attended, and much
business was transacted, in¬
cluding box of clothing to the
Decatur Orphans’ Home. The
making of the new clothing
will probably take place at an
^di-day meeting at the resi¬
dence of our most efficient pres¬
ident, Mrs. M. T. Peed. These
occasions, in addition to accom¬
plishing greal results in the
shape of finished work, are de¬
lightful social events. Our so¬
ciety last year made a wonder¬
ful record. With only forty
eight members, nearly six hun¬
dred dollars were raised for all
purposes and report the sup¬
porting of a Bible woman and
a generous gift to the Mary
Black Hospital in Soochow. Our
Treasurer, Miss Sallie Stewart,
who has been an officer in the
North Georgia Conference So¬
ciety since its inception in 1878,
expects our collections this year
will exceed those of last year.
Our Society uses the year book,
and two members have charge
of the literary program on the
second Friday of each month
the president having charge of
the business meetings At her
last meeting Mrs. F. E. Boland,
delegate to the annual conven¬
tion at Milledgeville, gave a
most interesting resume of her
experiences there. Three hun¬
dred additional missionaries will
soon be needed for the home
and foreign fields. Are you
willing for your boy or girl
to go? Are you praying for it?
Mrs. H. H. Stone conducted the
devotional and Mrs. R. L. Payne
made the closing prayer.
The goal has been set for the
Oxford and North Covington
churches to support a missionary
in the foreign field, in addition
to their regular missionary con¬
tributions. and ther eis no doubt
but that they will reach it.
Miss Helen Williams, president
of the Young People’s Mission¬
ary Society, is planning an open
meeting some Sunday evening
very soon.
Y. M. C. A. Secretary Shelnutt
is conducting a missionary study
class on Sunday mornings at the
Phi Delta Theta Chapter house.
News from the Woman’s Coun
cli now meeting in Memphis,
which is appearing daily in the
secular press, should be eagerly
read by all members of church
and missionary society.
It doesn’t make a mite of dif¬
ference how good a program you
had planned for that missionary
meeting if nobody “wuz” there
except the pastor’s wife and old
Miss Ann Simpkins, who’s “deef
in one ear and can’t heer out o’
the other.”—Miss Malvina, in
the March Voice.
The newspaper that printed
the picture and story of a girl
teaching a monkey how to talk
and smoke would just as lief
have told its readers about the
cannibal chief who had been won
to Christ bv the foreign mis¬
sionary.—Ibid.

COVINGTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1919.
BI6 MASS MEETING AI I J :
COURT HOUSE MONDAY
Pure Bred Sire Campaign Will
Open Under Most Encour¬
aging Auspices—Ev¬
erybody Invited.
The time is short before start¬
ing the pure bred sire campaign,
which wjll begin with a mass
meeting at the court house in
Covington on April 21st, 1919, at
10:30 o’clock.
The value of improved blood
has been clearly shown in every
rural community in Georgia. In
many instances valuable breed¬
ing stock, both males and fe¬
males, have been purchased at
what appears to be rather high
prices. Many beginners have
been deterred from trying to im¬
prove their stock because they
felt that they did not have suf¬
ficient funds for the undertak¬
ing. The most economical meth¬
od of introducing improved blood
is through the use of registered scrub
sires. The first cross on a
foundation adds 50 per cent of
improved blood to all the prog¬
eny, so that the sire is really half
the herd. The progeny resulting
from the second cross will carry
75 per cent of improved blood.
The progeny from the third
cross will cany 87 1-2 per cent
of improved blood. By this time
the scrubs will have been trans¬
formed into animals closely re¬
sembling full bloods in appear
and production. Further
1Tlor . e the use of registered
alone the quality of the
an j ma } s w iU be improved as rap
idly as the pastures will be im
proved, and the food supply in¬
creased. In the meantime, the
owner will have acquired a bet¬
ter knowledge of caring for good
live stock.
The vakie of the first crop of
calves, pigs, sheep or colts by the
right kind of pure bred sires wall
be increased several times over
the cost of the sire.
At the meetings which have
been arranged for by Mr. J. K.
Luck, county agent, the farmers
will have an opportunity of
meeting and discussing their live
stock problems with specialists.
Many farmers have decided to
reduce the cotton acreage for
1919. If this is done, feed crops
must be grown on the land which
would otherwise be planted when to
