THERE IS NO SHORT CUT
TO SUCCESS
Succese is something most
people want to achieve. This

Life Can
Be Better
ROBERT V. OZMENT, Ph. D.
St. James Church, Atlanta
that blows from the mountain
peak of achievement. I believe
a person must have three things
in order to succeed.
First, one must set in his
own mind some goals. I don’t
know of a single person who
has accomplished very much in
life unless he had some goals
toward which to work. It would
be foolish for a ship to leave
the safety of the harbor with
out a compass or without a
destination in mind. It would
be more foolish for a man to
begin his journey across the
stage of life without some goals
in his mind. One reason we
| have so many floundering and
confused people in this gene
ration is because we have fail
ied to decide on the goals we
want to reach.
I believe it would be good
for us to ask ourselves some
questions and, after careful
consideration, answer them.
What is the purpose of my life?
Am I fulfilling that purpose?
What do I want most out of
life? Is this desire worthy of
my time, effort and energy?
There is one thing for certain,
unless we have some goals to
ward which to work, we are
not likely to accomplish very
much as we run the race of
life.
Second, one must have a
genuine desire to achieve the
goals he has set for himself. It
is one thing for a drinking man
to say, ‘I think I will stop
drinking,’ and a different thing
for him to have the desire to
give up alcohol.
I know a man who wanted
to get a Doctor of Philosophy
degree. That was one of the
goals he had set for himself.
He finished all the required
classroom work, but never
completed his dissertation. He
set the goal but did not have
the desire that sent him to
study for many weeks and
months of disciplined study.
Finally, we must possess a
willingness to work. One must
have an unrelenting determi
nation to reach his goals. Suc
cess does not come after the
first effort and, frequently, it
does not come after the sec
ond effort. One must be wil
ing to pick up his broken
dreams and disappointments
and try again.
Suppose Columbus had de
cided to turn around and ac
cept defeat when his men be
came discouraged. He had an
unwavering determination I
like the words that Columbus
recorded in his diary day after
day. “This day we sailed on.”
At two o’clock in the morn
ing one of Mr. Edison's assis
tants found the inventor smil
ing in his laboratory. The as
sistant, thinking he had solved
the problem he had been
working on for months, said,
“You’ve got it! You’ve found
the answer.” Mr. Edison look
ed up and said. “Not a blame
thing works, now I can start
over.” That is the kind of de
termination I am talking about.
Number of operating mills—
about 16,000 in Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Lou
isiana, Mississippi, North and
South Carolina, Oklahoma. Ten
nessee, Texas and Virginia.
Number of “dependents” —
several million people, includ
ing those who owe livelihoods
to the growth, manufacture,
distribution and commercial use
of Southern Pine lumber.

Feed Grain Growers Io
Report Crop History
Growers of com or grain sor
ghum, who did not take part
in the 1961 feed grain program
but who would like to parti
cipate this year are asked to
check with the ASCS County
Office to be sure the necessary
information for their farms is on
record. The signup under the
1962 feed grain program now is
under way, and will extend
through March 30.
W. H. Booth, Chairman, Ag
ricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service in Geor
gia, said that information on a
farm’s crop acreages for 1959
and 1960 is being used in es
tablishing the farm’s com -
grain sorghum base. This infor
mation is already on record in
the County office for mo«st
farms, and notices listing the
particular farm’s base acreage,
yields, and rates of payment
under the 1962 program will
soon be mailed to owners or
operators of these farms.
As under the 1961 program,
the minimum acreage for di
version from corn and grain
sorghum is 20 percent of the
farm’s base acreage. The maxi
mum diversion of acreage to
soil - conserving uses varies ac
cording to the size of the farm
base. The acreage diverted from
these feed grain crops to an
approved conservation use un
der the program must be in ad
dition to the farm’s average
acreage devoted to conservation
for 1959 and 1960 and also to
the acreage diverted under the
1962 wheat stabilization pro
gram and 1962 barley feed grain
program.
Mr. Booth stressed the fact
that price support on the feed
grain crops from a farm where
corn, grain sorghum, or barley
is grown will depend upon co
operation in the 1962 feed grain
program.
The National average support ।
prices for 1962 feed grains are: I
Com. 51.20 per bu. average fori
all grades; grain sorghum, $1 93 !
per cwt. for grade No. 2 or bet-1
ter; oats, 62 cents per bu. for'
grade No. 3: rye, 81.02 per bu. |
for grade No. 2 or better, or
grade No. 3 on test weight only

est evergreen flowering shrub
in the state. (Actually the tea
shrub is a camellia)
It’s practically impossible to
determine the orgin of the
camellia. Legend has it that a
Buddhist priest in India vowed
to stay awake for seven years.
However, after five years he
went to sleep and when he
awoke, in anger, he cut off his
eyelids and threw them to the
ground. A camellia bush began
growing on that spot.
From the ancient temple

Korea, through the ornate con

eighteenth century, to the
stately plantations of Geor-
barley, 93 cents per bu. tor
