LIFE AND POETRY
Life is but some bits of poetry
Posing, painting, shifting scene?.
Planting wishes, building castles.
On our recollection screens;
Reaching out into the .morrows.
Fetching in some bits of hope.
Spreading easement on our sor
rows,
As we dangle on its rope.
Jt is but a bit of wishing,
Sighing, crying, going on . . .
Laughing, gleelng, ever fussing.
Over moments that are gone;
And tis but a spell of waiting
For a night that follows day,
And a time we see a-coming.
That will lure us all away.
Then it f is bits of troubles,
some
As we try to live life down;
Trying to work the whole thing
over
With some gadgets we have found:
Yes, we kill ourselves a-trying,
And the devil then is paid . . .
All for little bits of troubles
And the efforts we have made.
Life is but some bits of poetry,
If we search its gardens through;
There ere pomegrenl.e end cher
r - €s I
i n life’s hills and valleys too;
There are roses, ever-blooming . .
There are pretty birds that sing;
There are violets, kneeling, pray
ing
And some lilies by the spring,
There are human hearts in waiting
Many sick and sad and sore;
Some are feeling that forever
Love can speak to them no more;
And those ragged souls are hungry
For a word that we can say,
Only one word, prettily spoken.
And the £o S will clear aw^ay.
O tis grand, this life, to , live l , —
“v. W »d“i.Vf. . .
Love wil1 while the times away;
Lm ’ e wil1 then become our Master,
And wil1 fi ^ ht our battles through
While our faces look towards
yonder . . .
< )ur sou£s will sparkle as the dew.

Ranger Warns of
Dangers of Forest
Fires in Spring
® urn * n s Off of Fields One
« -
By Ranger H. W. Surrency
With the approaching of Spring,
some of us will try to save a lit
tle time and energy when it
comes to getting our fields in
shape to plow. One thing we al)
want to do this year is to plow
broom sedge and the rough instead
of sticking a match to the area we
wish to clear. If the field is in
such a condition that you cannot
turn the grass all under when you
P low - y° u can take a Sood disc and
cut up and *ben if there is any
brush left that you cannot handle
you can P'ace it somewhere in a
gully and these shrubs and native
vegetables will take root and will
h elp to check further washing of
the soil, or another remedy is to
begin to work a little sooner with
y0ur work in We Spring. Always
remember that shrubs can be done
away with a sharp axe, bush hook,
shovel and grubbing hoe. When
we do not have a fire naturally
fir e is n °t going to get from under
our contr °l- Let us see now how
leav ' n 8 the woods unburnt is go
ing to help us the following year.
Bob White is looking for a place
to lay, hatch and care for its young
so you will have a new neighbor
there. We ask ourselves what has
that got to do with our welfare, i
that covey of quail will eat grass- :
hoppers, crickets, boll weevils, j
plant lice and thirty-odd more dif- j
ferent kinds of insects that are j
enemies to the farms. The dove
wil1 also look for a hom€ near a
place where i£ can have a littlc
protection.
The field you did not burn will
have its useful grass seed and :
when you lay by your crops your i
grasses and perennial legumes will
get sufficient growth to do gully
control work for you.

Strict enforcement of State food

CoIumbus Roberts, Commissioner
of Agriculture, has given full pro
tection to honest producers and
raised the quality of food products
offered for sale in Georgia, accord
ing to the records of the depart
ment during the past three years,
Systematic inspection of manu
facturing plants, packing houses,
hotels, restaurants, road houses
and other places where foods.
drinks or condiments are prepared
or served, have reduced material
ly the sale of unwholesome food,
adulteration of butter, misbrand
ing of products, the sale of stor
age eggs as “fresh” eggs and elim
inated to a large extent unsanitary
conditions in food handling estab
Hshments. Upward of one hun
dred thousand inspections were
made last year by representatives
; of the department.
The mixing of culfites with sau
sage, hamburger and other ground
meats to restore color and give
them the appearance of fresh
meats at one time was a rather
common practice in Georgia. Now
it was pointed out, meat samples
taken by inspectors rarely show
evidence of this form of adultera
tion.
Likewise the practice of mixing
fats, other than butter fats, with
small quantities of butter and of
fering the mixture for sale as
“fresh” butter, has been reduced
to a minimum in Georgia. Rigid
enforcement of this regulation is
a protection to honest producers
and dealers and to the housewife,
it was pointed out.
The Georgia Egg Classification
law, designed to protect poultry
men and farmers against unfair
competition and safeguard the in
terest of the consumer, is being
strictly enforced by the depart
ment. and the sale of storage eggs
as “fresh” eggs is no iongar a
common practice.
NEGROES SHOW PROGRESS
Negro county agents have been
bus j]y engaged in conducting farm
conference in their respective
coun ties since the first of the
year. In spite of low farm prices
ers an( j f arm women have flock
to these meetings, determined
to learn something that might i
help them make 1940 a better I
year. In spote of low farm prices, j
these Negro families are looking
toward the luture with renewed
courage and, through these meet
ings, they hope to pick up some
advice that will be useful to them
in the years to come,
Many farmers have found that
contour strips serve as a supple

The paramount question before
the American public today is “Will
or will not Mr. Roosevelt be a
candidate for a third temr?”
On the street corners of the
Great Cities in the Exclusive
Clubs, in the Stock etchaukes. In
the Factories, at the Cross Roads,
around the Cracker Barrel!, and at
the Forks of the Creek, the one
1 subject discussed most is, “Will
F. D. R. run again?” A great ma
jority of well-informed people
i think that he will.
He has allowed his name to be
placed on presidential preferen
tial primary ballots in Illinois,
Wisconsin, New Hampshire and
Pennsylvania, and has made no
j j move to withdraw it. Third-term
startegists have disclosed plans to
put the President’s name in other
primaries and are organizing in
the convention states to obtain
' Roosevelt-pledged delegations,
If Mr. Roosevelt should remove
himself as a candidate for nomi'
nation and re-election, the United
States—in the eyes of European
statesmen—would really be lead
erless between the time of that
; removal and next January 20,
when a new President would take
office. The reason would be that
President Roosevelt would hold
only limited power and there
would be no assurance concerning
the continuation of his policies by
a successor. This would be a
dangerous situation in a world
torn by war and would lessen the
influence of the United States.
The President if confronted by - a
situation which ... other , presiden .

What is Mr. Roosevelts duty to
bis country and to mankind?
Coming months may tell, but he
has a right to decide upon his own
course of action until he knows
better what conditions in the
world and the United States will
be?
In view of the unusual interest
and demand by the American
people that this great leader ac

ship of State for four more year,

Campaign Closes
Chain stores throughout Georgia
are cooperating in the nationwide
“Eat More Eggs” campaigns to
stimulate consumption and ♦ aid
poultrymen, H. M. Morris, agricul
tural counsel, Southeastern Chain
Store Council, said today in an
nouncing the opening of the first
egg sales campaign. The second
campaign will start April 11.
Mr, Morris pointed out that
there is always a fresh egg sur
plus during March and April,
which depresses the egg market.
During this “flush” production
period consumers can enjoy econ
omies and add to the food values
j{ of their family said, menus and by using the
more eggs, he at
j same time help stabilize the mar
; ket for producers.
Fresh eggs are now being feat
ured in advertisements and sales
promotions of food stores, he stat
ed, and at the fountains and lunch
counters of other stores.
He explained that this “Eat
More Eggs” campaign is one of
' the producer-consumer campaigns
sponsored by chain stores to stim

commodities.
