District Cooperator J. D. Duke of
Fort Valley, whose farm is located
near Perry on the Marshallville
i highway, has planted 200 acres to
Coastal Bermuda and 50 acres to
i Pensacola Bahia grass this Spring,
j Some 125 acres of the area
I planted was cleared of unproduc-
I tive timber prior to planting. Mr.
j Duke now has around 400 acres
in Coastal bermuda grass and in
addition has some very productive
Common Bermuda pastures. Other
permanent pastures on the Duke
j Farm consist of Ky-31 Fescue,
Kudzu and Sericea Lespedeza.
Manager Frank Rozar of the
E. M. Beckham farm south of Per
ry on the Elko road, has planted
an additional 50 acres to Coastal
Bermuda this season. Permanent
pastures on the Beckham farm
other than Coastal bermuda con
sist of Common bermuda and crim
son clover, - Ky-31 Fescue and
| grass and Sericea lespedeza.
District Cooperator A. W. Pratt
| of the Centerville community has
planted some 15 acres of new
j ground to Coastal bermuda this
j spring. The area was cleared of
brush and scrub oaks last spring
but due to the dry weather Mr.
Pratt had to delay planting until
this year.
J. A. Davis Sr. and son J. A. Da
vis Jr. of the Houston Lake com- \
munity, have planted an addition
al 30 acres to Coastal bermuda
this spring. They now have some
57 acres in Coastal.
L. H. Jacobs of the Perry com-
I munity has been assisted recently
] in revising his Soil Conservation
1 Plan for his farm. Change from
crop farming to dairing made re
vision desirable.
It doesn’t pay to buy peach trees
that are four to five feet high for
transplanting if they cost more
than trees only two to three feet
high. E. F. Savage and F. F. Cow
art of the University of Georgia
experiment station at Experiment
found the smaller trees just as
good as the larger, more expensive
ones in tests at the station.

ARE YOUR FLOORS 1
SQUEAKING?
ARE TERMITES ACTIVE IN YOUR HOME?
NOT ALWAYS But sometimes YES! In most cases
your floors are squeaking because the subflooring has
shrunk and the surface floor has become loose. IN MANY
CASES, however, TERMITES have infested your flooring
along with your joist and sills, and created cavities and
deterioration that are instigating looseness and causing
your floors to squeak and give when walked on.
IF YOUR MIND is occupied with doubt about the condi

Bible Comment:
We Inherit
Home Ideal From
Jews of Old
TN the heritage of Christianity
from Judaism, the world owes
the Jews a big debt, especial v
m their concept of the smmtiw
of home and family life.
A great factor in the strength
of the Jews historically, in spite
or sufferings, persecutions and
fiagedies, has been this attitude
toward home and family life, and
this goes far back into Jewish
history and religion.
Christian teaching enforced all
that Jesus and the disciples
whom He gathered around Him
had known in all that Jewish
heritage that the Master said He
had not come to destroy but to
fulfill. '
Love in all the relationships of
uife is the supreme demand of
'Christ. Love in home and fam
ily life in the Christian concep
tion is the prime basis of happv
and responsible living.
All this is so obvious and ele
mental that to state it seems
commonplace. But it is the com
monplace things of life that are
the most important, and too often
neglected. Is there any area of
life today in which the basic and
commonplace things of Christian
teaching are neglected, and set
at naught, more than in this
area of marriage, home and fam
ily?
Surely this is a great problem
facing Christians and the Chris
tian Church, as well as all who
are concerned about the social
welfare.
There, would be more hope
among nations and peoples, : f
there were more peace in homes
families, and in all the daily
