NORMAN LAMOTTE HAS a green thumb and a lot of
farming know-how, as these tomatoes attest. (See Tom Colei’s
interesting column on the operations of Clayton’s C. of C
secretary).
Soil Conservation Activities
BY T. W. COLE
— Soil Conservationist —
Norman LaMotte has an out
standing example of growing to
matoes on his farm located on
Mirror Lake Road near Mountain
View. For 25 years he has se
lected seed from the best quality
tomatoes in size, uniformity of
shape and other characteristics
from the healthier plants.
This year he has two rows of
tomatoes in his home garden ap
proximately 200 feet long with
plants spaced 30 inches apart in
the rows. He has enough for
home use and large volume for
market. Along with the other
vegetables he practices furrow
irrigation. From a two acre
pond built in 1955 he can now
irrigate 10 acres as compared to
five or six acres from the old
pond.
In 1939 Mr. LaMotte requested .
the Upper Ocmulgee River Soil
Conservation District Supervis
ors to have a plan prepared for
his farm. This plan included
two vegetative waterways, a
complete terrace system, contour
cultivation, adapted crop rota
tion, pasture and woodland im
provement, wildlife aceas and ir
rigation.
Dahlas and Gladioli produc
tion for market has been the
principal cash crops produced, in
addition to a live-at-home pro
gram by producing food for the
family and feed for livestock on
the farm. Mr. LaMotte can look
back with pride at the good re
sults he experienced from his
efforts in applying nature’s laws
in following a planned soil and
water conservation program on
his farm for the past sixteen
years. His farm is improved,
with erosion well under control,
and per acre yields from all
crops many times over what they
were when he bought this eroded
cotton and com farm.
Irrigation of crops with five
centrifugal and pressure pumps
having a capacity of 400 to 600
gallons of water jeach per hour.

Reminiscences of Bygone Days
BY B. M. WOOTAN
Well, it’s camp meeting time,
again and every time I see one 11
announced it makes we mant to; 1
attend. I have been to Old Sa-'
lein, out from Lithonia, and Mt. <
Gilead at Benhill and the last ;
one I attended was Indian
Springs. I always get great en- i
joyment from attending them, 1
everybody seems to enjoy real i
Christian fellowship. We always
have the best of preaching and i
singing and you don’t see peo- i
pie going around with long faces, ;
they have something good to i
think about. I wish I could at
tend every one of them, they just :
make you feel so happy and re
freshed, you feel like going on! ■
Camp meetings are so different
from other gatherings. Nobody
gets in a hurry and nobody goes
hungry.
Alot of people are complain
ing about the hot weather, and
what good do they get out of
complaining? You haven’t seen
any hot weather yet; just wait i
till you knock on St. Peter’s gate I
and he tells you that you can’t!
come in, then you will really'
know what “hot weather" really
means. It will be a lot hotter
than it is in Chicago and then
sdmc.
QUOTES
I don’t know what the future I
holds for me but I do know who i
holds the future and I trust
Him.
Remember young people, there
is one profession that you can
start at the top and work down
ward successfully, Think ser
iously. do you want to be a well
digger?
We enrich our Christian fel
lowship where we use it.
There are people in the world
who read the Bible just to find
out where it agrees with them.

“Pray for the patience to develop the best God has put in you!”
Why is it when we approach a task, or an educational
course, or even reading a book, we always look for the short
est way possible . . . forgetting that for every corner we cut
we lose a precious tringle of knowledge? Os course, there are
occasions when time is of the essence and we must, of neces
sity, take the quick way, but in most instances we could af
ford to do the job thoroughly, covering all the ground possible
and thereby cultivating the maximum benefits.
How often we've heard the expression "Rome wasn’t built
in a day” . . . and how true it is that nothing of lasting value
was ever accomplished quickly. The extra thought and minutes
devoted to our work and way of life pay off in big dividends,
but when we do tilings quickly and haphazardly we are repaid
only in proportion to our meagre efforts.
So let us not be preoccupied with SAVING TIME . . . but
rather with ex-SPENDING ENERGY.
They bring you today’s most advanced features
for fast-working peak efficiency on any kind of job!
They’ve got the most modern short-stroke VS en
gines—packing more power per pound than any
competitive truck VB. (Standard in many middle
weights and all heavies; optional at extra cost in
other models.) They’ve got the industry’s greatest
lineup of transmissions! They’re fully loaded with
more of the things you want! Whatever you do, get
our low price before you buy!
A lot of hard cash is in soft
hands that do not know how
to use it.
A man who never changes his
opinion becomes stagnated like
a pool of wateer.
Where you have no good reas
on for doing a thing, then he
has a good reason for not doing
it.
When you make a gift to re
cipients who can't repay you,
only by gratitude to you, then
you are grateful to God for a
rich blessing in your heart.
There are two occasions for
short visits with friends: When
they are sick and when they are
well.
