Widow In Screven
Produces Lots Of
Food For Home Use
The story of the success of
Mrs. Lula Bazemore, Screven
county farm woman, is the talk
of the neighborhood.
Left a widow with eight chil
dren ranging in years from two to
19, this farm woman has made a
good living for her family. One
remarkable fact is that not one
of her children has left the farm.
Not only has this widow and
her children worked hard but they
have diversified their farm ac
tivities. All foods used by the
family are grown on the place ex
cept rice and sugar, and a suf
ficient acreage of sugarcane is
planted to produce enough syrup
for the family and have some
left for sale. Every imaginable
kind of fruit is grown on the
farm, as well as a variety of
vegetables.
This year Mrs. Bazemore
approximately 900 quarts
produce. Enough Irish potatoes
onions were harvested for
use. Sweet potatoes were
for home consumption and,
addition, she sold $100 worth.
an average flock of 75
the Screven county farm
sold 633 dozen eggs and
family consumed an equal
She is milking four cows
these supply her family with
adequate amount of milk and
and she has some left
for sale.
Burning Off Fields
Offen Does More
Damage Than Good
Burning off ditch banks, fence
rows, and field borders to destroy
hibernating boll weevils does more
harm than good when it comes
to providing food and cover for
farm game and bird life, says
James P- Knight, work unit con
servationist of the Upper Oemul
gee River soil conservation dis
trict. Farmers seeking latest in
formation on t he best ways to
control the weevil were urged by
Knight to get in touch with their
county agent.
Maintaining a good growth of
shrubs and plants along field bor
ders, ditch banks, and similar
rreas as a place where insect-eat
ing birds can find food and
shelter is far more practical than
trying to burn these areas to de
stroy the hibernating weevils,
Knight said. Plenty of birds on
the farm destroy far more insects
than burning these areas, Knight
explained.
“The boll weevil,” Knight con
tinued, “has 60 known bird ene
mies. Fcrty-one kinds of birds
eat the cotton worm and 57 the
white grub worm. A single robin
observed for 17 days by scientists
ate 50 to 60 cutworms daily.”
The bird population on the
farm can easily be increased, says
by seeding adapted shrubs
in unproductive field borders and
by protecting the vegetation
fire. Lespedeza, small grain,
and row crops planted in the
give a variety of food for
while field borders which
usually planted to shrubs and
Lespedeza sericea provide excel
lent shelter or a safety zone.
Lespedeza sericea, Knight ex
is one of the best plants
use on field and woodland bor
as it grows well even in
and is hardy enough to
the use of such areas as
rows for work animals and
machinery. Also, it does a
job of protecting these
against erosion.
Pino cones are easily collected
trees felled in logging.

News in The
World off
Religion
By W. W. REID
Reports reaching the United
States from various European
sources indicate that the various
denominational groups of Chris
turns within Norway are coming
closer together because of the
“common danger” that confronts
them under their political mas
ters. Something of this unity was
demonstrated on a recent Sun
day when “almost everyone” was
in his church at 9 a. m. and
common prayer was raised for
the nation and people. The state
church (Lutheran) and the vari
ous minority groups have formed
a new “religious front” which
takes in practically the entire na
tion. Bishop Eyvind Berggrav and
Prof. C. C. Hallesby, represent
ing the two groups of the Luth
eran Norwegian State Church,
and the Rev. Jacob A. Oehrn, a
leader of the Baptist denomina
tion, are the heads of this new
united front.
The new problems faced by
Christian workers and missionrr
ies in every state in the union
because of the war situation and
the shifting of populations to in
dustrial communities and war
camps, will be among the matters
considered fre four days when the
Home Missions Council of North
America holds its annual meeting
in Trenton, New Jersey, January
4 to 1. The Council represents
the major Protestant denomina
tions in the Untied States, and
most of the problems are shared
by them in common. The Rev.
George Pitt Beers, a leading Bap
tist clergyman is president cf the
Council; and the executive secret
aries are Dr. Mark A. Dawber
and Miss Edith E. Lowry.
A statement issued recently by
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference, on behalf of the bish
ops of the Roman Catholic
Church, said: “Our sympathy
goes out again to the peoples of
those countries who have been
crushed under the heel of the in
vader; and indeed, to all upon
whom war has imposed so heavy
a burden of suffering and sacri
fice. We cannot too strongly con
demn the inhuman treatment to
which the Jewish people have
been subjected in many countries.
In this hour of cruel torture, we
are mindful daily at God’s altar,
of all the innocent victims of the
war, of the homeless, the exiled,
the imprisoned, and all who are
suffering because of hunger c/
disease. We ask the faithful to
unite with us in offering daily
prayers and sacrifice in their be
half.”
Believing that if patients are
busy their disease will be less
burdensome than if they sit idle,
the Protestant Leper Home, Beth
esda, Dutch Guiana, tries to keep
all lepers employed. “Those who
can still use their hands,” says
Superintendent H. R. Fischer,
“make musical instruments or
carved boxes cr furniture. Others
have gardens where they raise
fruit. One has made bricks for
our new paths. The homes of the
women are models of cleanliness,
and flower-beds and well-kept
yards are always picturesque. A
leper who has both feet aids one
who is a cripple. One who has
good eye s will read aloud to the
blind, or write letters for them.
Those skillful in needlework
teach others to sew, and to roll
bandages. These who cook well
prepare favorite dishes for those
who are invalids. The brightest
moments are those that the pa
tients provide for themselves.”
Projects in the translation of
the Bible or portions of it, under
the auspices of the American Bi
ble Society, are going on today
in some of the little-known lan
guages of primitive peoples in
Mexico, Central America, the
Philippines, South America, Af
rica Siam (Thailand), and various
islands of the Pacific Ocean.
Statisticians of the Roman
Catholic Church have estimated
that the communion now has from
30,000,000 to 35,000,000 members
within the United States. This is
a rise of about 50% within the
last fifteen years. The higher
figure is -based on the fact that
31% of the draft registrants have
expressed a preference for the
Catholic Church. The lower figure
of 30,000,000 is based on a survey
made by the church authorities.
In 1930 it has been estimated that
there were 20,000,000 members of
the Church.
The College of Agrciulture and
Forest"y of the University of
Nanking, supported by North
American missionary agencies,
reports that during the year there
were distributed to Chinese farm
ers 598,744 pounds of improved
wheat, millet and cotton seed—
perhaps the greatest single con
tribution made by anybody to the
food supply of that nation.
GRINDING SAUSAGE
Hand-turned sausage grinders
can be electrified by replacing
the crank with a 10-inch pulley,
according to specialists of the Ag
•ricultural Extension Service. The
ccst for electricity will be less
than two cents per 100 pounds of
meat around.

This past fall Mr. and Mrs.
Morris decided to plant 14 acres
of onions so they could have some
other winter work to do. Some
of these were sold fresh while
the remainder were cured and
stored.
Every winter this Appling
county farm family also kills
hogs, using the shoulders and
small cuts for pork sausage which
is shipped to distant customers
and sold on local markets. Some
of the pork is swapped to mer
chants for chicken feed and other
things needed by the family. The
sides are cured in their home
made cold storage plant and sold
locally, while the cured hams are
sold to the customers of other
cities.
The Morris farm is made up of
335 acres. Some of this land is
used for producing oats and rye
for winter pastures and some is
planted in Austrian winter peas
and hairy vetch as winter cover
crops.
The Morrises, in addition to
having cash crops of cotton and
tobacco, are also engaged in the
commercial vegetable business
and sell surplus meat products,

In a letter to each of the bor
