New Standard
in all-round usefulness
The Allis-Chalmers Rear-Engine Model G does
all the usual field jobs . . . plus many others that
regular farm tractors are not designed for. Here’s
truly a new standard in usefulness.
Look at these features; Engine in the rear; more
weight on drive wheels for better traction. All
implements front-mounted, clearly in view of
operator. Large assortment of quick-hitch imple
ments to choose from.
In addition to general work, the creeper gear
and tools-in-front design make the Model G ideal
for truck crops, strawberries, and all types of
farming where power tools must work with the
precision and skill of a hand hoe.
We’ll be glad to demonstrate.

“We Have Biscuits
Every Morning!'’
Says Mrs. Douglas Byrd, Unl<fn City
“My family likes biscuits for breakfast, so I bake
some every morning. It’s no task at all with an
electric range.”
Mrs. Byrd is head of the homemaking depart
ment at the Campbell High School in nearby Fair
burn. She is actively interested in civic work. But
she manages so well that she finds plenty of time
for her family.
The only servants in her new home are electrical
appliances. They help to take the work out of
housework, and their wages are so small. No
wonder she thinks electricity is the biggest bargain
in her family budget!
Home wiring? Home lighting? Care and use
(f—N y [ of appliances? Let a Georgia Power home
economist advise you. Her help is free.

Lesson for February 22, 1953
/"\N February 22 we celebrate
the birthday of a man who (it
is said) claimed he could not tell
I a lie. That is an exaggeration. Al-
I most any man can tell a lie if he
tries hard enough. But even if this
j were such a wonderful world that
! literally nobody could tell a lie,
j it might still not be the ideal
j world. For what is most important
j is not choking back the falsehoods,
important as that is. The big thing
is to tell the truth. And it is even
harder to tell the truth and tell it
right, than to keep from lying.
Truth can be told in a dull way so
that no one listens to it. If truth
is worth telling it ought to be
pointed,—and when we say “point-
I ed” we mean that three ways.
* * *
Pointed At —
For one thing, truth may as well
not be told at all if it is not pointed
at somebody. There’s no use tell
ing your deaf old grandmother
about the circus; she’s not going.
There is no use
telling a small
baby to keep his
| face clean. V - |H||
There’s no use & jM||
giving a lecture §B7*
on space-heating
to an audience of
Hottentots;
enough already. J||
! You’re talking to
the wrong people. Dr. Foreman
Truth ought to be fitted for, and
pointed toward, the people who
need it. The Master-Teacher him
self showed how this is done. Much
of Jesus’ most vital teaching was
directed to what we would call
‘‘hecklers ” Sometimes their ques
tions were meant to trip him up
(like the three recorded in Mat
thew 22). Sometime they were
asked from mere curiosity, some
times they were desperate grop
ings for light. But whatever the
motive, Jesus always gave them
answers—plus. He would take ad
vantage of the moment to push in
a pointed truth. If only preachers
and Sunday school teachers—and
politicians too—would spend more
time answering the questions peo
ple do ask, instead of questions
they don’t ask!
** * *
Sharp Enough To Stick
There is another sense in which
truth, to be effective must be point
ed. It has to be the opposite of
1 dull. Now there are situations
| where truth can be dull, and wel
come. If you are looking up in the
j encyclopaedia the population of
North Dakota, or trying to find out
| what niacin is, you don’t want to be
I amused, startled or entertained,
j You just want plain fact, plainly
' stated. Professors and other studi
ous people are trained to absorb
truth no matter how dully it is
presented. It’s a poor student who
i can’t learn as much from a dry
professor as from a witty one.
But most human situations are
not in class-rooms. Truth that is
not dry, ought not to sound dry
Truth that’s worth remembering
ought to be told in such away that
it can’t be forgotten. Again, our
Lord’s teaching was of this sort.
He never told a dull truth, and he
i never told his bright truth in a
dull way. His sayings are all point
ed; they have away of sticking in
the mind. What he says flashes in
the eye like sunlight on steel.
There was no one around taking
notes when Jesus spoke. His say
ings are remembered not because
somebody had a good notebook but
because what he said, stuck.
s> • * *
“To The Point”
What do we mean by a point
less joke or a pointless remark?
We mean, of course, that the thing
was not worth saying, however
true it may have been. We want
people to speak to the point. If
we are going to listen to them we
want them to be saying something
that is worth saying, something
we’ll be worse off for not knowing.
Now again Jesus’ teaching was
pointed truth in this sense. It was
relevant truth, it was truth dealing
with specific situations. He came
“down to’ brass tacks” as we say.
His teachings did not float away
up in the clouds, they came down
to earth and walked there. They
had to do with people’s real prob
lems. And what we shall find out,
if we study Jesus’ teachings faith
fully, is they deal with our prob-
I lems today too The problem of
the demands—sometimes seeming
|to conflict—of church and state, of
j country and conscience; the prob
-1 lems of death and of the life be
| yond; the problem of how best to
I serve and obey God; these con- I
1 cerned the men of ancient Judea, I
I they concern us no less Jesus'
words are just as pointed today as
they were nineteen centuries ago.

THE VOICE OF
AGRICULTURE
IN HOUSTON
By A. A. WHITE SR.
Houston FB President
By studying the recent flurry
of statements by high government
1 officials Georgia farmers should
have an inkling of some problems
ahead. The main differences is
that someone else is doing the
talking. It is the same story told
by Farm Bureau leaders many,
many times but evidently not ef
fectively.
Secretary of Agriculture Benson,
in a speech in St. Paul, Minne
sota, last week, said, “farm price
supports should be used only as
‘disaster insurance’ ”. Senator Rus
sell, a long time supporter of farm
supports, emphasized that “there
is an apparent desire to ‘free’ far
mers without making similiar de
mands on the rest of the economy”.
Congressman McCarthy, of Min
nesota, termed the thinking as
“like a man standing on the bank
of a river telling a drowning man
that all he needs is a deep breath
of fresh air.”
The American Farm Bureau
Board of Directors last w<y?k met
with President Eisenhower in
Washington, D. C., to discuss over
all farm problems. Allan B. Kline,
President of the American Federa
tion, termed the outcome as “most
satisfactory.” Your next week’s
News Column will carry a report
from GFBF President H. L. Win
gate, who was present at the con
ference and had not returned at
the time of writing this column.
Indications are that lines are be
ing drawn, and decisions might
come sooner than anticipated.
The Agricultural Commodity
Authority Bill has passed House
Agricultural Committee Number
Two, according to a report from
the State GFBF office. The next
step will be placing the Bill on
the calendar.
Pittman Carter, GFBF Assistant
to Mr. Wingate, last week attended
a labor conference in Washington.
The labor committee members,
with Carter representing the Geor
gia Farm Bureau, discussed prob
lems pertaining to domestic trans
it ,and foreign labor. The purpose
of the session was to map plans to
assure having the needed labor
available at the right place at the
needed time. Secretary of Labor
Durkin was present.
Honey bees are beneficial to
most agricultural crops, fruit and
berry orchards according to ento
mologists for the Agricultural Ex
tension Service of the University
)f Georgia.

Kile Slate Tax Early.
m
Commissioner Urges
File your State tax returns early
and avoid possible grief. State Rev
enue Commissioner Charles D.
Redwine is advising Georgians.
“The earlier you file returns,
the less likely you are to get
caught in the last minute rush,”
he declared .
“And if you’re late, the law com
pels us to charge a penalty and
interest.”
In a series of advertisements run
ning in this paper, Mr. Redwine is
urging Georgians to file their
state tax returns as soon as pos
sible. He said that early returns
will prevent a possible penalty
and interest which must be charg
ed on all late returns.
“We hope, however”, the Com
missioner said, tax payers
will make it unecessary for us to
file such a penalty.”
Mr. Redwine said that the State
Revenue Department checks Fed
eral returns, plus having other
sources of information on incomes,
so it is unlikely that any citizen
who should file a state return will
be able to avoid doing so.
SWINE LOUSE
The hog louse is a large, bluish
parasite which may be readily
seen on the hogs if many lice are
present. According to livestock
specialists for the Agricultural Ex
tension Service, University of
Georgia, the treatment consists of
applying crankcase oil to the ani
mal with a brush. If many hogs
be prepared. This wallow is pre
are to be treated, a hog wallow can
ferably made from cement.
