WHAT IS WEALTH
Toombs county’s wealth is not in
her 9oil. If it were so, Toombs
county would be one of the most pros
perous in the United States, for her
sodl is the best to be found in this
broad, land of ours. She has ranked
first among all the counties in pro
duction per acre of one of the prin
cipal crops of the country. The di
versity and fertility of which she:
boasts enables her to yield to none
in this respect.
Toombs county’s wealth is not
in her olaimate, although there are
but few spots in the universe that
can compare with the excellent sea
sons and temperature enjoyed by cit
izens of our great county. Pleasure I
and business may be pursued the
year round without interuption by
unfavorable climatic conditions.
Toombs county’s wealth is not
in her products, many and varied as
they are. It is necessary to go to
the extreme tropics or to the frigid
areas to find features of agriculture
that can not be adapted to her soil
and climate. Her manfacturing
lumber, naval stores and stock rais
ing place her away and bove the av
erage. But these all do not con
stitute her wealth.
Toombs county’s wealth is not rep
resented in her banks and business
houses, howeer energetic, progressive
and successful her business men.
But—
Toombs county’s wealth is her
men.
The rich alluvial plians which are
now partially converted into farms
were trodden under the feet of the
Indians for thousands of years, yield
ing nothing but a little natural veg
etation for wild game. The splen
did climate that we enjoy was the
same boon to these wild men of the
forests. The innumerable products
that can be produced were possible
in the day of these unlearned beings, j
The difference in Toombs county
today as compared to what she was
in the year that Columbus discover
ed our fair land is the difference
made by men.
If Toombs county is rich or poor,
she is rich or poor in men. If she
develops her resources, if she con
verts her garms into gardens, if her
homes are to be beautiful, if her crops
are to be profitable, if Toombs coun
ty is to become rich in wealth, in
happiness, in anything, it must be
done by her men.
The wealth of Toombs county is
the brains of her citizens. With the
natural resources and advantages
that she posesses, their intelligent
development will afford every rea
sonable desire that men - can conceive.
Let’s utilize our men.
WHY NOT GEORGIA
SWEET POTATOES
(Donaidsonville News)
“What California has done with
her raisins, for instance, Georgia
could do with her sweet potatoes,
and other food crops. But she will
have to follow busdness-like systema
tic, co-operative methods to do it—
methods which include not only pro
duction in large, uniform quantities,
but packing and shipping in the
most approved fashion.”
Go into any eating house and you
will find California raisin pies, Cali
fornia raisin cakes and puddings,
pies made from California peaches,
prunes, and apricots; pies from Cali
fornia or Florida lemons; pies from
South American cocanuts, but not
one place in ten you will find Geor
gia sweet potato pies. By organiza
tion we can push Georgia yams like
the California people are pushing
■California fruits and vegetables.

IN BAPTIST CHURCH CIRCLES
Rev. A. D. Woodle, Pastor
The pastor expects to attend the j
Southern Baptist Convention, which
meets in Atlanta next week. There
are others who may also attend.
The Adult Bible Class, taught by j
Mrs. Futon Smith, has decided to
clothe an orphan in the Georgia Bap
tist Orphan’s Home at Hapeville. i
; The members of he class are request- j
ed to bring their contributions for
this purpose next Sunday.
On last Sunday, our church elected
Bro. C. C. Moseley as superintendent
of the Sunday School, and Bro. L. D.!
Clark as assistant. This makes a
good team, and assures us of wise
leadership in this department. The
pastor would urge all of our people
to rally to their support.
The Mission Study Class met with
Mrs. A. L. Mosley on last Monday
afternoon. The subject studied was;
“What Christian Women are Doing
in Japan.” Those present were Mrs. j
A. L. Mosley, the hostess, Mrs. A. P.,
Thomas, Mrs. Vannah Coleman, Mrs. j
H. T. Newton, Mrs. R D. McLeod,
Mrs. M. F. Findley, Mrs. C. W. Cul- i
peper, Mrs. W. T. China and Mrs. I. j
H. Corbitt. After the study period, j
refreshments were served. Those \
who attended report a pleasant and
profitable afternoon.
Try the church as a mental tonic.
It will give you stimulus that will help
you all the week.
The church service breaks the
tnonotony of the week, gives new at- :
mosphere, new friends, new ideas, j
new power against aggravations and ,
the daily grind. Try it out and you
will be convinced.
The church is the tabernacle of
the most High, and he asks you to
meet Him there.
The highest motive in church go
ing is to get in tune with the Infinite.
Let us f?° to church that we may
j feel at home when we reach heaven.
Weekly Thought
In John 9:4, Jesus said: “I must
work the works of him that sent me,
while it is day; the night cometh
when no man can work.” In these
few words we have an epitome of
our Lord’s comprehensive program.
Three facts He here mentions as an
inspiring impluse in the discharge of i
His study. First, that He was sent
"from God. Second, that He was
sent on a special mission. Third,
that He had only a limited time in j
which to do His work.
God has a purpose in every hu
man life. Our failure to properly
function is resposible for many of
the evils of society. The world, like
the wounded man in the parable, lies
out before us, stripped and beaten,
and half dead. Duty demands that
we go to the rescue, and administer
the healing oil, but we to often,
like the priest in the parable, pass by
on the other side.
Some one, in commenting on the
returning of our Lord to make up his
l jewels, has wisely remarked: “God
will not look over you for medals, de
grees, and diplomas, but for scars.”
Scars are symbols of hard fought
i battles. Do you bear any marks, as
i did our risen Lord, showing that you
i have contended against the forces of
evil?

CHEAPEST FEEDS TO
PRODUCE MOST EGGS
|
Wlim the farmer’ll wife want* to
make a good showing on egg*, she at
i once wants a good variety of feeds
i from which she can prepare the dry
i mash and scratch feeds for the flock.
Sometimes there are feeds in our ra
tions that cannot be included becanse
of expense in some parts of the state,
or availability in others. The cheap
-1 est ration which will produce the most
eggs is oar aim, rather than the best
ration regardless of price. Here are
aomft suggestions by L. TG. Card, Uni
versity of Illinois:
"For example, wheat mixed feed or
ground whole wheat inay replace bran
and middlings in the mash if local
prices for these.latter are too high.
Standard middlings will occasionally
j be cheaper than the combination of
bran and flour middlings and may be
j substituted for these. Hominy feed
may replace corn meal.
“Tankage or crackling meal may re
-1 place meat scrap if the latter is too
costly. However, meat scrap is much
more readily eaten and it Is therefore
' usually unwise to replace It with
tankage unless there is a considerable
difference in price. A difference of
ten dollars a ton between meat scrap
and tankage means a difference of
only one to two cents a day In the
! cost of feeding a flock of one hundred
hens. One extra egg dally will pay
for this small difference.
“Any change In the ration should be
made gradually rather than abruptly
for the reason that marked changes
suddenly made are almost certain to
cause a drop In egg production and
may cause the birds to molt.”
Mature Turkey Gobbler
for Breeding Purposes
The mature turkey gobbler, or tom
as he Is more rightly called, often
attains a weight of from thirty-five to
forty-five pounds when two years old
j or over, says a writer In the Success
ful Farming. He is fat, clumsy and
awkward and not as active as a cock
erel or a yearling.
Under no condition should a tom of
! the weights given above be used on
females weighing less than twenty
five pounds and even then the spurs
should always be clipped off and the
sharp ends of the toenails removed
with a file. If this is not done, he is
likely to tear the skin over the backs
of the hens in su :h manner as to
cause death. This Is especially true
If the hen is very fat. Some breeders
protect the hens when using a heavy
tom by placing a cloth over the back
, during the breeding season.
! Well-developed cockerels and year
ling toms are usually very satisfactory
for breeding purposes. With most
varieties of turkeys one tom to twelve
j or fifteen females la quite enough for
: safety In breeding. In flocks where
two or more toms must be kept. It is
advisable to allow only one tom with
the flock at a time, due to the fact
that they will often fight and Injure
j one another badly enough to Interfere
; with their breeding ability.
Rearing of Chickens Is
Most Difficult Problem
Unfortunately many people seem to
think that when the chicks are hatched
in an Incubator the worst of the work
is over. Such, however, Is not the
case. With a first-class Incubator,
; good hatches are comparatively easy
and sure, but rearing the chicks Is a
mere difficult matter.
Besides proper feeding and care, the
I right kind of brooding Is necessary.
That means that plenty of warmth,
plenty of circulation of pure air so
that foul air does not collect under
the hover and poison the chicks, Is
j absolutely necessary. To bring off
a nice lot of chicks and then try to
brood them “by hand” In a makeshift
brooder Is to Invite trouble and loss.
A good brooder will last a good many
; years and therefore is net expensive,
even If the purchase price does seem
! a little high.

Poultry .Hints
Good hens are scratching out a
good living for many poultry raisers.
Why not for you?
* ‘ *
Never frighten the turkeys. If you
have occasion to drive them, do It
slowly so as not to scare them.
• * •
Poultry raisers must learn that the
best hen medicine is sanitation and
must give big doses of it regularly.
• • •
Sour and moldy food should never
be fed to poultry. The health of the
fowls Is worth more than the saving
•n the cost of the feed.
• • •
There ought to be more geese. We
And them the most economical poul
try to keep and fine eating.
• • •
) Chaff and straw and hay should
be used liberally on the poultry house
floor. They suggest leaves and seeds
\ to the hens and i..e valuable in pro
moting exercise.
• • •
Any unhealthy looking fowl should
be removed from the rest of the
flock and the trouble and a reraedy
sought. Sick birds should never be
kept with the healthy ones.

A BIRTHDAY DINNER
AND FAMILY REUNION
On last Sunday, May 4th, at the
home of L. E. Tomlin, the children
•of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Thompson cel
ebrated Mrs. Thompson’s 77th birth
day. It was a great pleasure to meet
the children, family after family, as
they arrived. What a time they had
meeting each other. Some had not
seen each other in nine yeai-s. All
the children were present except
three, two sons, H. L. Thompson of
Lyons, and G. A. Thompson of Met
ter, and one daughter, Mrs. G. H.
Graham of Berlin, Ga., who failed to
get here.
Conversation was carried on until
noon when the dinner was spread on
a table under the large shade trees in
the yard. Then dinner was an
nounced, and such a dinner it was.
’Twas good enough for Kings and
Queens. If a table ever groaned
from its load, this one did, for it
was loaded with such good eatables
as fried chicken, chicken pie, ham,
cakes and pies of all descriptions,
pickles, salads, etc.
Rev. J. E. Small returned thanks
to Our Heavenly Father for the food,
and everybody helped themselves.
There was planty fjjr tw® such crowds
Then in the afternoon, other relatives
of the family, who could not come
that morning, came. Everyone
seemed to have enjoyed the day fine,
and regreted saying good bye, which
had to be done, as they left for their
home, some to Wrightsville, Swains
boro, Hazlehurst, Cedar Crossing, Vi
dalia and other places.
Those present for dinner were,
children, grandchildren, and great
grandchildren and friends numbered
eighty-three.
Everyone left hoping to have the
pleasure of attending many more
such celebrations.
