Improved Soil Aids Child Health
■ ,
Observance of Child Health Day every May 1 indicates the nation’s
interest in the welfare of its future citizens such as this radiant child.
This interest is shared by the 6 million farmers cooperating in the AAA
farm program. As a contribution to proper nutrition for growing chil
dren, these farmers are creating soil conditions which assure an abund
ance of healthful foods both now and in the future. Application to the
land of liming materials and superphosphate, shown in the top picture,
is one means of doing this. Such practices mean better pastures, more
and better milk from dairy cows, and healthier American , 'hUUren

3-Way Plan Aids Many Groups
More cotton clothing, less cotton in the warehouse, more food on the
pantry shelf— those are the aims of the new Supplementary Cotton Pro
gram of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Not only farm people, but
4ilso merchants, manufacturers, laborers, and others who help turn cot
ton into finished goods will be assisted by the three-fold plan. Under
this program, farmers who make a further voluntary reduction in their
cotton acreage in 1941 may earn cotton stamps, which they can use in
their local stores to buy cotton goods. A special $3 payment also will
encourage home food production. Symbolic of what the program offers
are the cotton coat and dress worn by the farm girl above; the row
of cotton bales, of which there is a surplus of more than 10 million; and
shelves of home-canned food direct from the family garden.

FOLLOWED INSTRUCTION'S
The now maid, preparing to serve
at her first dinner party, was in
structed by her garden-loving mis
tress to place a “little flower’’ in |
each fingerbowl for the guests.
That point in the course of the
meal arrived, and to the hostess’
perplexity, she saw that no blos
soms were floating about as planned,
but that the water had a decidedly
murky nature.
Asking the maid afterward as
to the cause of the murkiness, she
was informed: “Why, ma’am, Ah
jes’ put in a little flour like you
tole me.”
Good Reason
“Don’t they teach you to salute in
your company?” roared the major
to Patrick Malone, who had passed
him without raising his hand.
“Yes, sir,” replied Pat.
“Then why didn’t you salute?”
“Well, sir,” Pat replied, “I didn’t
want to attract more attention than
necessary, because I'm not supposed j
to be out without a pass.”
HASN’T DECIDED
“Is your husband going south with
you?”
“I haven’t decided whether to ask
him or not.”
Vivid Memory
A Negro whose recollections of
great men appeared to run back far
ther than one listener could stand
was finally asked rather sarcastical- |
ly:
“I suppose you remember the day |
George Washington took a hack at I
the cherry tree?”
“Oh, yas, sah, I ’member dat very
well. Why, I done drove that hack.” ,
Time Will Tell
A boy in grade school refused to
sew, thinking it beneath the dignity
of a ten-year-old.
“George Washington sewed,” said
his teacher, “and do you consider
yourself better than George Wash
ington?”
“I don’t know; time will tell,” re
plied the boy seriously.
Successful Bazaar
“Your club must have realized j
quite a neat sum for the poor with
the bazaar.”
“It was quite a success. We had
a little supper afterwards and came
out just about even.”
Already Solid
“What did Miss Sharp say when
Tom told her he would like to make
himself solid?”
"She replied that so far as his
head was concerned he would have
nothing to do.”
Cause Enough
Bystander—You took a great risk
in rescuing that boy; you deserve a
hero’s medal. What prompted you
to do it?
Johnny—He had my skates on.
Indispensable
“The banquet tonight can’t get
along without me.”
“You have a very good opinion
of yourself. Billed for a speech?
“No; I was invited to listen.”
WINTER RESORT
“My this must be one of those j
Southern winter resorts one reads I
about.”
Stone Age
Mrs. Highbrow—Don’t you find the j
| Stone age interesting?
Mrs. Lowbrow—Yes, indeed! Jim
! mie’s just that age now, but it's
| awfully hard on our windows.
Takes the Cake
Bobby had been to a birthday
party. Knowing his weakness,
mother said, “Bobby, you didn’t ask
for a second piece of cake?”
“No, ma’am. I only asked Mrs.
Smith for the recipe so you could
| make some like it, and she gave me
, two more pieces, just of her own
j accord.”
For Better Speech
“Joan can swear like a pirate.”
“It’i shocking, but you should say
‘like a piratress !” *
SUMMER LEGUME CROPS
HAVE PLACEON FARM
Some legumes have a definite
place for soil improvement on
every farm in Houston county,
and to be effective they must
cover the land well and add good
quantities of organic matter and
nitrogen to the soil, in the opin
ion of County Extension Agent
W. T. Middlebrooks.
Mr. Middlebrooks said there is
an advantage in the use of a soil
building crop that can be used
wholly or in part for feed. He
discussed the following crops as;
excellent for soil building.
L spedeza—This is one of the
best soil conservation and im-|
provement crops adapted to Geor- j
gia. It covers the land with ai
green growing crop from early;
summer to frost and the stubble,
protects the soil from erosion inj
winter months. It is well to
plant a winter growing crop in
lespedeza stubble to hold nitro
gen gathered by the lespedeza.
Runner Peanuts Hogged Off —
The plants of this crop cover the
land well and hogs leave the'
greater part of the crop pro |
duced for soil improvement. Hogs
can graze this crop at a profit
and leave the crop residue on the:
hand. i
Velvet Beans—lf planted solid'
or in corn, velvet beans have;
been long recognized as a good j
j soil-building crop. They are;
! usually interplanted in corn and;
| grazed but o:ten too close to be h
:effective for soil improvement.!
A bushel of velvet beans per,
acre sown broadcast and turned 1
under will add a great deal of
fertility to the soil and will be
; very effective in protecting it
from erosion.
Cowpeas —Even though an old
favorite for summer hay, cow
peas have not been used much
for soil improvement. With a
good rate of seeding and when
1 the plants cover the land, the
crop gives good protection to the
1 soil and will add erood amounts
of plant food and organic matter ;
when turned under.
Crotalaria —This is a fairly new'!
crop and is adapted mostly to
j south and middle Georgia. There (
is an early and late strain of cro-1
j talaria spectabillis, the variety !
mostly used. The crop can be;
planted on prepared land or on |
I small grain land in the early!
spring. Some farmers plant it
n corn at laying-by time.
WHY GO TO CHURCH?
By THEODORE ROOSEVELT
1. In this world, a churchless
community, a community where
■men have abandoned and scoffed
lat or ignored their religious
needs, is a community on the
rapid down grade.
2. Church work and church
attendance mean the cultivation
of the habit of feeling some re
sponsibility for others.
3. There are enough holidays
for most of us, Sundays differ
from holidays in the fact that
there are fifty-two of them each
year. Therefore on Sundays go
to church.
4. Yes, I know all the excus- ,
es. I know that one can wor
ship the Creator in a grove of
trees, or by a running brook, or
in a man’s own house just as
well as in cnurch. But I also
know as a matter of cold fact
the average man does not thus
worship.
5. He may not hear a good j
sermon at church. He will hear
a sermon by a good man, who, I
with his good wife, is engaged I
all the week in making hard!
lives a little easier.
6. He will listen to and take
part in reading some beautiful
passages from the Bible. And if,
he is not familiar with the Bible, 1
he has suffered a loss.
7. He will take part in sing
ing some good hymns.
8. He will meet and nod or
speak to good, quiet neighbors.
He will come away feeling a lit
| tie more charitable toward all
I the world, even toward those ex
cessively foolish young men who!
regard church-going as a soft 1
! performance.
| 9. I advocate a man’s joining
in church work for the sake of
showing his faith by his works.
THE BEST HOG
A hog of the medium type is
the most profitable, according to
Agricultural Extension special
ists. This type animal can be
grown to weigh from 200 to 225
pounds at about six months of
age, and be finished at that age.
Breeding stock should be select
ed from large litters, since the
ability to produce large litters is
an inherited characteristic.
