WATERMELON ACREAGE
Indications are that Georgians
will harvest approximately 185,-
000 acres of watermelons during
the early summer season. The
Georgia Crop Reporting Service
advises this is a 5 percent reduc
tion in acreage as compared with
that of 1950. Yields per acre are
expected to average somewhat
better than last year in most
areas.

SOIL CONSERVATION

Ocmulgee Soil Conservation
District Cooperator C. L. Holt of
the Centerville community was
assisted recently by the Soil Con- |
scrvation Service in revising the I
soil conservation plan on his •
farm.
J. Y. Green of the Perry com
munity was assisted recently in
developing a soil conservation
plan for his recently acquired
farm located south of Perry on
Elko Road. Mr. Green was also
assisted by the S. C. S. in making
the necessary surveys to enlarge
= his farm pond.
Thomas McCrosky, new owner
I of the Bateman farm north of
Houston Lake on the Centerville
Road, has been assisted by the
S. C. S. in developing a soil con
servation plan for his farm.
Water Hole Dynamited
District Cooperator Herbert
Creamer of the Henderson com
munity has recently been assisted
in revising the conservation plan
for his farm. Mr. Creamer was
assisted in developing plans for
blowing a water hole with dyna
mite to'furnish water for his live
stock. Mr. Creamer blew a hole
approximately 40 feet long by 30
feet wide by six feet deep, using
about two cases of dynamite.
H. L. Lowery of the Centerville
community has developed a plan
for his farm two miles northeast
of Centerville. Mr. Lowery is
quite a hustler. Besides doing a
jam-up job of farming he holds
down a regular job in Macon
from mid-afternoon until the wee
hours of the nibht.
This severe dry weather we’re
having has further emprasized
the need for the deep rooted,
drought resisting perennial graz
ing crops. A good number of our
soil conservation farmers have
been using their kudzu and seri
cea to good advantage during this
period. These two crops are the
best insurance against drought
the livestock farmer can have.
Furthermore, they can be growfi
successfully on land that is too
poor, steep or eroded for the
profitable production of other
feed crops. lAt least a half an acre
of each should be provided per
cow to furnish sufficient emerg
ency grazing. If the grazing is not
; needed, they can be cut for hay.
State Is Closing
Year With Surplus
Georgia will close its state gov
ernment’s fiscal year Saturday
with a surplus of sls to sl7 mil
lion, State Audifor B. E. Thrash
er says.
However, that will finance the
new expanded state program for
only one month of the new bud
get which totals $207-million —
S7O-million more than was spent
during the current fiscal year.
Only about SB-million of' the
expected surplus is in new sales
tax reventie which has been slow
to come in the first two months
of collections.
Slow Start
Even the most conservative es
timates of expected returns from
the 3 percent levy were $8 to $lO
- per month, but the first
month’s total was only about
$5-million.
Other experienced estimates of
what the sales tax should return,
if collected and turned in from
every source legally required to
do so, have ranged from sl2 to
sls-million a month, or at least
$l5O-million a year.
This would be added to the ap
proximately $l4O-million a year
which the state has been collect
ing from other taxes—less a few
so-called nuisance taxes which
were repealed when the sales tax
was enacted.
COMPETITION STRESSED
Farm women in Whitfield Co.
create interest in their home
demonstration club program by
encouraging competition and set
ting up a score card for judging
the worth of their activities, ac
cording to Miss Melba Sparks,
North Georgia district Extension
agent. '

You fire Important
Lesson for July 1, 1951
YOU are important! Whoever you
are, wherever you live, what
ever you do, you are Important to
others, to yourself and to God. You
are the one and only “you” you
will ever be; you
have but one life to 1"’
live, one destiny to
fulfill, one soul to
save. B jB
The Sunday
schools of America Bft IE ’ J
are going to put in mk jw 8
the rest of this sum- jmM
mer studying Chris- J 8
tian teachings about mmm&>
human relation- p r> Foreman
ships; and we be
gin, this week, by looking at a
basic principle which underlies all
of the Christian view of life and
its relationships. No other teaching
of the Bible will do you much good
if you can’t believe this simple
truth; the incomparable importance
of each individual person in the
whole world.
• • •
In The Image of God
T TOW does the Bible teach the im
portance of the individual?
First of all, by declaring that, man
was made in the image of God. In
spite of man’s sinfulness, even in
the shabbiest and meanest of men
there is still some trace of the im
age of God.
John Calvin, as is well known,
was far from optimistic about
the nature of man; but even
Calvin wrote that the only good
reason why we should love our
enemies and do good to the un
deserving, is that even in the
worst of men there is still the
image of God, so that what we
do for any man we are really
doing for the God whose image
is in him.
Every man is in jome sense a
fresh creation. Widely used child’s
catechism asks the question; Who
made you? And the answer is, God
made me and all things. Every one
has the right to give that answer
to that question.
. * .
Bought With Blood
H NOTHER reason why we believe
** that every individual is impor
tant is summed up in what St
Peter said (I Peter 1); We have
been redeemed—that is, ransomed,
bought back—with what is more
precious than jewels or gold, the
"precious blood of Christ.”
Does this mean only those who
are now Christians? Surely not
You have a right to say to any man,
anywhere: Christ died for you. If
you cannot say that, then you are
reduced to saying, Christ died for a
limited number of people, and foi
anything I know to the contrary,
you may be one of them.
That is a puny sort of gospel.
If there is one thing which every
evangelical church teaches with I
universal enthusiasm, it is that
the gospel is off< red freely to |
all. If there is one verse in the
New Testament that sums up f
the gospel it is John 3:16: God >
so loved the world . . . that
whosoever believcth . . .
That is no limited gospel. And no
one who takes it seriously can look
with scorn on any living soul. Jesus
has warned us against scorning |
even a child. Isaac Watts once let I
a non-Christian idea get into one ol I
his hymns—“for such a worm as
I”! That is not a Scriptural idea.
Christ did not die for worms, he
died for men.
* * •
; If So, Then What?
iwrOST Christians do not need even
as much argument as this to
make them believe in the worth of !
the individual; they are sufficiently)
convinced by the attitude ol Jesus
himself. Nobody could think seri-j
ously about JeSus’ treatment of!
children, or his parables about the
lost sheep and the lost son, with
out coming to the same conclusion.
The key-question always is:
What Is this action, this atti
tude, this plan, this arrange
ment, this institution, this sys
tem,—what is this doing to per
sons?
Persons are more important than
anything else in the world. This by
no means goes without saying. For
the world of our time is riddled and
raddled with other and contrary
ideas: as for instance that-man is>
only an animal, or that he Is simply J
the highest of the animals, or that
a man’s value comes from his fam- j
ily, or his race, or his bank account.
Against all these mistaken views
the Christian must stand, firmly !
knowing that he, no more than |
others but no less, ,'s made in God’s
image and an object of God’s love;
and so in himself, small though his
place may be, not only has a value
that can never be described In dol
lars, b»jrt Is worth more than the
human race can ever own.

HOW TRUE!
■ Somebody has painted on the
back of several highway signs
about Perry the words, “School’s
Out,” except they leave off the
apostrophe and on one sign they
made it “Schools Is Out.”
With such incorrect grammar,
it seems that it is indeed unfor
tunate that school is out for that
particular “sign painter.” But
we’ll bet he’s enjoying vacation
as much as anybody.
A record yield of over 15 bush
els per acre of wheat is expected
in Georgia during the present
harvesting season.
Oak leaf blister does not kill
trees and will tend to disappear
in late summer, according to the
forestry experts.
