WHAT MAKES AMERICA
TICK?
A recent nationwide sampling
of hi^h school seniors revealed
that 55 per cent knew so little
or cared so little about the
economic system under which we
live that they agreed with the
keystone Communist doctrine of
“from each according to his
ability, to each according to his
need.” In a quiz given to find
out how much they knew about
the American system, the seniors
scored 48 per cent —a few points
better than mere guesswork
would have produced.
The results of this high school
sampling indicate, among other
thing's, that the facts about our
American system, the secret of
American prosperity, must be
spelled out over and over again
in the simplest terms for every
category of our citizenry. Every
high school senior, every college
student, in fact- every American :
from school age up ought toI
know and ought to be reminded i
day in and day . out • that the I
American economic system works \
to their advantage because—
Everybody Can Dream
1. It permits everybody the
freedom to dream, and to pur
sue their dreams. Therefore the
nation benefits from the brain I
capacity of the total population,
rather than from a handful of
Planners as under Communism
and Socialism. There have been
lots of crazy ideas and dreams in
our atmosphere of freedom, but
likewise there have been
marvelous ideas, and many have 1
come from obscure men and wo
men. The genius of Edison, Ford,
Kettering, and Bell blossomed to
maturity under freedom. Under!
Socialist or Communist Planning I
these men of obscure origin'
might have been assigned to a
collectivist farm — or Siberia.
2. It permits anyone to compete
with the dreamers. Some 1.400
automobile companies have
sprung up through the years to
compete with Ford in the low
price field. Many companies make
| electric lights. In our country
a man doesn’t have to be a
dreamer. If he has business
ability or salesmanhip ability he
can compete with and herhaps
even beat the dreamer at his own
game. This freedom to compete
allows our nation to utilize the
latent powers of management
from our whole population —
instead of having only two or
three producers selected by the
Planners, and usually on the
basis of “party” politics.
Screened Management
3 The American economic
system develops and places a
value on efficiency in the pro
duction of goods and services.
Freedom to dream our dreams
and freedom to compete with the
dreamers have the effect of
screening our management, and
leaves in each field only the most
efficient. Wherever I’ve been
throughout the world, observ-
I ant people of all nations have
complimented the efficiency of
American management. Our
screened efficient management
produces goods at low cost to
the consumers and provides jobs
at good wages. Under govern
ment management there is ineffi
ciency, low wages, low production,
a low standard of living.
4. It provides the American
^workman with the finest tools on
THE COVINGTON NEWS
earth. Keen competition under
efficient management has inspir
ed the development of machine |
tools which cannot be imagined
by the workers in most countries.
This advantage in tools permits
an American coal miner to mine
eight tons of coal per day, while
in the government - operated
mines of England the piners
produce only a fourth as much.
The investment in tools in are '
American automobile industry is :
more than SIO,OOO per employee.
That much money has to be •
invested to make a single job. ' ■
In chemical plants it reaches
$15,000 per employee; in the .
railroad industry, $20,000.
Choice of Occupation
5. The American economic j
system provides freedom for the
working man and woman. Only
free people can be efficient anil
ingenious on the job, and only
under* a private enterprise eco
nomy can free labor exist. Free-■
dom permits the natural in
clinations and abilities to develop
and to find a satisfying outlet
in the choice of occupation.
American labor is constantly
dreaming up new ideas that are
being put into operation in i
American industry — to bene- 1
fit the employees, the company,i
and the public which gains from
, better products at lower costs.
All high school seniors should
know that the economic system
gives' the American workman
seven times more purchasing
power in food, eight times more
purchasing power in clothing, and I
ten times more purchasing power
in housing than the Russian
Communist system provides for
its people, and almost three times
more purchasing power than is
provided by Socialism in England.
These are facts we must keep I
fresh in our minds if we are to
keep our system progressing and
forestall the organized attempt
of the Socialists and Communists
to capture it and us.
BIBLE QUESTIONS
Q.—Why is it that God does *
not always answer prayer im
mediately?
A.—The Lord desires to keep
in constant touch with His peo
ple and have them feel their
dependence upon Him. When
\ we ask for something, it may
be God's will- to answer our
prayer immediately, or He may
see best not to grant our peti
tion. In either case, we should
; i always remember that God is
i too wise to err and too kind to
grant a request that would not
be for our best good. “For my
thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,
saith the Lord. For as the
heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher
than your ways, and my thoughts
than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:-
8,9.

UPLIFT For Today
By BERNARD VIA JR.
Here at the beginning of 1953
there are two looks that we can
make. The first is a forward look.
Our welcome to the new year is
in anticipation of the many good
things that the three hundred
sixty- five days ahead hold in
store for each of us. In this con
nection some of us make reso
lutions to help guarantee a great-
I er happiness for the year.
Obviously the other look is a
। back look. The old year is past;
it is time for inventory. I read a
i prayer for the new year the other
j day. In it was this- phrase, “For
' give us for What we have been
j...” I don’t suppose there is any
body who could not pray that
prayer. As we enter into this
i year, a look into the past year
will give us a sense of humility.
Our review of the year past
will also remind us of the many
' good things that have happened
to us. In remembrance of these
1 mercies we may well allow this
new year to be a season of
■ Thanksgiving.
Let us resolve to enter this
1 year in greater humility; thank
ful that our weaknesses are made
strong in the Power that watches
over ua now and forever.

Coastal Bermuda Grass
Is Best Summer Pasture
Georgia farmers, beginning to
think about summer pastures for
next year, were reminded this
week by a University of Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service
agronomist that Coastal Bermuda
grass is unexcelled for summer
grazing.
J. R. Johnson pointed out that
Coastal Bermuda is superior to
common Bermuda and should be
used when establishing new Ber
muda pastures. “Coastal makes
more growth, grows later in the
fall, is more disease and cold
resistant, and is an excellent hay
plant,” he stated.
The agronomist saia that Ber
muda will grow on any land that
will grow corn. He warned that
on poor land the grass may be
come sod bound after it is grazed
two or three years. “This con
, dition can be remedied by fer
tilization and turning,” he added.
Pointing out that Bermuda grass
is a good basic plant for summer
pastures, Johnson said it grows
well with lespedeza, white clover
and crimson clover where these
। legumes are adapted.
Johnson recommended testing
the soil before planting Bermuda.
He said general requirements on
unimproved soil are from 1,500 to
3,000 pounds of lime, 800 pounds
of superphosphate and 150 pounds
of muriate of potash per acre. “At
planting, use 500 pounds of 4-12-
12 per acre,” he advised.
On improved cropland. 500
pounds of 4-12-12 drilled in the
row is all the fertilizer required.
, The pasture expert recommended
from 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate
of soda or equivalent as a top
dressing when the grass is about
I six inches high.
Johnson said Coastal should be
planted in late winter or early

spring, using sprigs that are fresh
end moist. He advised planting
them on a well-prepared seedbed
in rows from two to four feet
apart.
“Leave one inch of the tip
above ground,” he continued.
“Firm the soil by rolling or by
running a tractor wheel down the
row.”
He added that planters are
now being sucessfully used. John
son reminded farmers that cul
tivation should be practiced to
control weeds. "Otherwise,” he
said, “ such plants as crab grass
will give the newly set Coastal
■Bermuda too much competition.”
Truck Owners
Are Warned Os
Vegetables Pests
Georgia vegetable growers
iwere cautioned this week to be
on the lookout for certain insect
pests which are causing con
siderable damage in some parts
I of the state.
Entomologist C. R. Jordan of
; the Universily of Georgia Agri
; I cultural Extension Service said
। that turnips are being damaged
by cucumber beetles, stink bugs
land vegetable weevils. Aphids
and webworms are causing some
• I damage to cabbage, he added.
Dr. Jordan pointed out that all
these insect pests may be controll
ed by the use of one percent
: parathion dust or a spray con
> taining two pounds of 15 percent
: parathion wettable powder per
1100 gallons of water. Applications
should be made at weekly in
tervals as needed, he advised.
Ordinarily, a flock of 10 to 15
pullets will supply a family of
five with eggs throughout the
year.
