Cotton Program Successful
The one-variety cotton commun
ity program and the program for
“more and better cotton per acre”
paid good dividends again this year,
according to E. C. Westbrook, eot
ton and tobacco specialist of the
Georgia Extension Service. Prem
lums ier staple were small but the
larger acre yields for pure seed of
the better varieties more than made
up for the small premium paid for
extra staple length, Westbrook said.
The cotton specialist advises farm
CIS that it is not too early to make
plans for another year. As a matter
of fact, in some counties plans for
next year are already under way.
Westbrook declared the seed can be
bought cheaper now than after the
first of January.
Heads County Agents
J. K Luck, Sumter county farm
agent, was recently elected piesi
dent of the Georgia Association of
County Agents, succeeding Jack
Hart, of Dublin. Mr. Luck has been
a director of the Association since it
was formed eight years ago. The
election of Mr. Luck took place ai
Americus, Ga. In addition to the
election of officers, delegates to the
National County Agents' Convention
were selected. They were Mr. Luck,
Bright McConnell, of Augusta, Rich
mond county agent; Dallas Spur
lock, of Dawson, Terrell county
agent; E P. McGee, of Decatur, De
Kalb county agent; C. N. Bennett, of
Pearson, Atkinson county agent; and
W. E. Neville, of Hiawassee, Towns
county agent.
Soil Conservation District*
In the two years since the first
soil conservation district was organ
ized by farmers under State law, er
osion control work in districts has
spread over more than 7,000 farms
embracing nearly two million acres,
h. H. Bennett. Chief of the Soil Con
servation Service announces. On
j these farms, scattered through 116
districts in 23 states, nearly 72,000
acres have been retired from culti
vation because of inability to pro
duce crops profitably. Some of this
.submarginal land has been planted
to trees and other types of perma
nent vegetation, Permanent hay
acreage has increased some 190 per
cent—from 23.700 acres two years
ago to 68.900 acres today.
Farm Family Income*
Farm families probably will have
higher net incomes in 1940 than in
1939, the Bureaus of Agricultural Ec
onomics say in an outlook report
Total receipts from marketings of
farm products are expected to in
crease, reflecting improvement in in
dustrial activity and in consumer in
! of products for farm
comes. Values
home consumption also will be high
er. Farm production expenses will
rise, too. the report said, but less
rapidly than grass receipts; hence,
j net returns from fanning probably
will increase more, relative to 1939,
.
than gross Income. Income from
Government payments are expected
to bo about the same as in 1939, but
non->farm earnings of family mem
bers may increase with greater op
portunities for employment, Most
farm families will be able to buy a
somewhat better living in 1940
in 1939 in the anticipated improve
ment in general business
materializes.
Cotton oil mills that buy seed on
grade, buy according to the value
the products which can be
from each lot of seed.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
That
Will Never Be
Torn Away
Ideals, Christian Standards
of Uncle Bogue Lummus
Will Remain.
By Mrs. C. B. Drennan
Old landmarks are the pride of
city or town and we always
to point them out to new
comers and visitors that come in
our midst; and sometimes we go
out to our old homes and we begin
to look for certain old landmarks
perhaps they’ve been torn down
or uprooted, and our hearts are
sad, tor we feel that we’ve lost
something that we've wanted to
keep in our minds. There’s some
special incident connected with
that specific house or tree or
whatever the landmark might be
that we’re afraid we might for
get. But not so with a human
landmark such as the one who
passed from our midst last Wed
nesday night, November 15th.
There could be no uprooting or
tearing down the ideals and
Christian standards Uncle Bogue
Lummus planted in the hearts and
minds of two generations of chil
dren, grandchildren and neigh
bors and neighbors’ children.
Uncle Bogue was 78 years old,
and 35 of those years were spent
untiringly serving his church as
Superintendent and as steward
of the church. When any student
preacher was sent to Porterdale
from old Emory at Oxford, back
before Porterdale ever thought of
really organizing any church in
the town proper, that student
preacher was directed to Uncle
Bogue for the night or for Sun
day dinner. They knew too they
could count on the Lummus family
to hear him preach for Uncle
Bogue saw to that, He didn’t
send his family to church—he
sent and took them.
Back before the cars came in
and there were any good roads,
he took his children and walked to
old Liberty. The old troopers
say, “Regardless of feelings’ the
show must go on,’’ but his slogan
was “regardless of how I feel,
the Lord’s work must go on. Re
gardless of whether or not I like
my pastor, it's my church, the
church of the Living God, I must
do my Master’s bidding.” I be
lieve he liked each pastor that
came. When he joined the church
he didn’t just join the preacher as
some of us seem to do. If he dis
approved of his shepherd, he tried
all the harder to help lead the
flock and keep them in the fold,
and not scatter abroad with criti
cism of the pastor.
Do you know I think back in
his younger days, when he was
rearing his large family of chil
dren, he must have rnade the
same resolution that Joshua did
when he said, “As for me and my
house, we will serve the Lord,
not I, but we. How many of us
take that attitude today? We
think Sunday School is for chil
dren, preaching for old folks,
prayer meeting for the pastoi and
a few of the ladies.
Uncle Bogue couldn’t get out at
night. His health was very bad,
but he seldom missed his stew
ard’s meeting or church confer
ences. November the
On the 8th of
Board of Stewards met in the
pastor’s study for their monthly
meeting. Uncle Bogue was m
his accustomed place, and when
the question of the church bud
get for another year came up,
expressed himself very
on certain matters. He
in going forward, not
lie knew his church and confer
ence laws and lived up to them.

As our internal problems become
more complex our pairioiic citizens
are turning their attention thought
fully and seriously to the words and
example of the spired statesmen
who founded this Republic. They
knew the ignominy of living under
a dictatorial form of government
and had a vision of the blessings of
liberty which they translated into
this government of free men.
Among the messages which we
prize is Washington's Farewell Ad
dress. He saw the strength of the
government, in the foundation of
which he had played the leading
part, and he saw the dangers which
we, of a later day. must face. I quote
a significant warning from that ads
dress: "Against the insidious wiles
of foreign influence (I conjure you
to beleve me, fellow citizens) the
jealousy of a free people ought to
be constantly awake.”
The government of European na
tions has changed since Washing
ton gave this warning, but there still
exists dictatorial forms of Commun-j govern-!
rnent under the names of
ism and Naz.iism, where the rights'
of the individual are submerged un
der the powers of the State as com
pletely as they were under George
the Third, Alexander the First, or, j
Napoleon. Thetr agents in this coun
try now are leading such of our citi
zens who are simple-minded and
visionary to favor collectivistic ideas
which would lead to Dictatorship as
surely as dust follows the cart wheel.
Under a collectivistic form of gov
ernment all citizens are working for
the state and under the direction of
the state. Business is run as the
state directs and the profits are
controlled by the state. The farmer
does not control his farm. The state
has a prior right to take, without
compensation, that fine crop of
wheat on which so much work has
been done. The horses, the cows are
in reality the property of the state j
and can be. and in fact usually are,
taken by the state. Pride of achieve-,
ment does not exist when ihe profit
motive is gone and quality is les
senec '
Under Distatorship the children ,
are educated and molded like lead I
in the bullet mold regardless of their j
individuality and even the intimate
personal relation of man to his God
is leveled and dictated by the state.;
The dieiator»-.itt*Wy ctaim-that they i
have no unemployment or starvation
—this is always true of slavery.
In this land of the free the farm
er owns his farm and stock. His
children go to the school and church
of his choice and not one article
can be taken by the state without '
payment. and If he at plants harvest heavily finds to it J j
cabbage he
worth only two dollars per ton
loses and takes a loss that will call
for economy for a year. If, on the
other hand, he finds at harvest that
cabbage is worth one hundred dol
lars a ton, he wins and can buy the
luxuries he has long wanted.
If he raises a crop of hogs and can
see visions of twelve cents a pound
fall comes, his ingenuity and
! study will find ways to improve the
h0 usins and feeding to get the high
_ st quflUty and the last pound into
‘
, hat profi ( . If there is no profit pos
, Q hlm it is on iy human that
lie slight the work. The result is not
good for cither man or hog.
Through good times and bad the
American farmer lias been an Inde
pendent individual trusting his own ,
judgment and strength. He has met |
failure and success, laughed at both j
and grown stronger. Today he pro- j
j duers more food per man power than and.
