A WELCOME TO OUR CHURCH.
Hive the newcomers into your
neighborhood this year been invited
to attend your church and Sunday
school? Hospitality and courtesy to
the stringer, high or low. rich or
poor, should always be characteristic
of southern farm folks. See that
newcomers, no matter whether rent
ers or home owners, are welcomed
in both Sunday school and church.
In a recent survey of I,§oo North
Carolina farm homes it was found
that 3 per cent of the landowner
parents,, were church n inbers
ygainst only 65 per cent of the !and
]C;S parents. It was also found that
Sunday school,attendance was near
y.twice as general among land own
ing families as among renters 62
per cent for landowners against
go m per cent for renters.
Unquestionably this difference is
not so much due to a difference in
moral standards between landown
ers and landless folk, as it is to Jhe
fact that renv.vs are constantly go
ing from one n igbborhood to anoth
er and are frequently not sought
out and invited to attend church and
Sunday school in tNir new homes.
No i t.ii.ter how iiurr.ble the family
that has recently moved into your
neighborhood, see that its members
are ta<dq vei cmc in tn» nearest

■the greatest heart'd ancs.'h.-:

iTS A HARD LIFE MAILS.
Pity the poor newspaper man
when -these "are no news.” Some
body has said that anybody can get
out a newspaper when there is plen
ty of news, but it takes a genius to
publish one when there is none. Of
course, the average editor and pub
lisher has something more to con
tend with than the mete gathering
*>■> affirmation for publication. We
have had this mater brought to our
attention by s. litte paragraph ap
peasing in the columns of the Tifton
Gazette on last Wednesday after
noon. Listen to the lament of the
Herring brothers:
“This has boon a perfectly bum
day in the Gazette office. To start
off with, the power went off, and
it -has skipped around, off and on,
nearly all day. The job man has no
jobs to work on and is killing time to
the best advantage. The telegraph
wires are down between Macon and
Atlanta, and at 2 o’clock we have
received no wire news. To add to
our other troubles, the wind has
been blowing and the rain falling.
There have been rumors of storms
here and there, but the wires are
bringing us.no news.lt’s a bum day,
indeed.”
But it’s all in a day’s work. If
things ran smoothly all the time we
would not duly appreciative. We
have, to have a few hard knocks and
a few; cjoudy days to make us thank
fu for the smooth places and the
sunshine.

('alvin Makes Some Interesting Com
parisons and Tells VY hat the State
Is Doing to Come Back.
BY MARTIN V. CALVIN,
Agricultural and Economic Spe< alist,
Georgia Department of Agri irltare.
I wish to say some thing'3 which 1
think erght to be said, just tins t me,
'.out Georgia and her agricultural
.nd tecromic status. Since our state
lost 'he position she held as one of
the “Big Four,” in total crap values,
1)18, eemparisons have raeen made
between her and certain sister states
to her disadvantage, not to say detri
ment It seems to have been f:rgot«
tn: that in 1919 the boll weevil begun
its destructive work in our state: we
have Veen producing less cotton than
usual solely because of *he weevil.
While vigorously combating the wee
vil. in an effort to grow as much of
the. “ilcecy staple” as poss'bie, we
have Net successfully growing other
■ M'.tjamV «,-pps —valuable edibiy and
financially.
The fact is, that If) 1923 rheie was
ir, Georgia farms more tu eat and
mere to sell than in any year In the
r.wenty \ ears last past. The farmers
and tpeir tamilies enjoyed the nice
things t! ey had to eat, and they sold
at good prices the large surp'us which
they lrcvketed.
Except as to cotton, the four boll
weevl years, 1919-1922, were not lean
years. Ths is true, albeit there were
those who boldly asserted that farm
ing in Georgia had gone to “the
bow-wows.”
Despite the 801 l Weevil.
I have before me two tUb'is which
eery crop production figures, etc.,
for the four years 1915-1918, ano the
four years, 1919-1922. I sought the
facts and assembled them with a
view to comparison so that we could
see just what Georgia accs nplished
'n spite of the boll weevil.
During the boll weevil year, we
produced 24,404,500 bpshels of oats;
2,417,000 bushels of wheat; i 47,750
tons of choice hay; 366,750 bushels of
Irish potatoes, and 2,796,500 bushels
of sweet potatoes more than during
le weevil free years, 1915-1918.
During the four boll weevil years we
produced 3,964,600 bushels of corn
less "than during the four preceding
years, and we had 32,997 pigs—-not
six months old —fewer than during
the four preceding years. Under
stand: These figures represent the

vnnual average production of the two
groups of years.
The deficit in corn, 1919-1922, is
due to a number of facts, namely:
The acres planted in corn, weevil
years, exceeded the number of acres
in corn, four preceding years, by an
annual average of 121,500 acres.
During 1919-1922 we unwisely sold
a greater number of pigs, when three
months old, than during 1915-1918.
The annual average acreage in
corn, 1919-1922, was 4,454,750 acres;
in 1919-1918, the .annual ave age ac
reage was 4,333,250 acres. It is re
spectfully suggested that, in both in
stances, the number of acros was
greater than could be properly culti
vated; besides, the record shows that
we applied high-grade fertiiaer per
acre uneconomictlly, that is to say,
sparinglyy In a large number of
cases the best seed corn was not
planted. These are pertinent facts,
worthy of consideration.
Georgia farmers did wondrously
well during the trying years, 1919-
1922, and 1923 also. In their pres
ence, I stand hat in hand; so should
you!
Other Property Progress.
I must give you additional inspir
ing facts illustrative of what we—all
of us—did in the way of property
progress during the four boll weevil
years compared with the four pre
ceding years. The annual average
amount placed on the tax digest, 1919-
1922, was $1,073,569,902; the annual
average amount placed on the tax di
gest, 1915-1918, was $838,717,160—a
difference in favor of the group of
years first mentioned of $234,852,74Z!
Viewing the foregoing paragraph
with a critics eye, you say: “But, the
cities and towns of the state con
tribute most largely to make proper
ty values on the tax digest.” Not so.
I have looked into that question very
carefully. 1918 is a fair year to
stand for the group 1915-1918; 1922
is a fair representative of the boll
weevil group. Of the property on
the digest in 1918, 42.2 per cent was
representative of city real estate, etc.
Of the property on the digest in 1922,
46 per cent city property. In the
face of the fact that the boll weevil
occasioned an annual average loss of
$73,738,125 durng 1919-1922, the an
nua! average amount we placed on
the tax digest during those year.- was
$1,073,569,902 compared with an an
nual average amount, 1915-1918, of
$833.717,160—a differenice to the

credit of 1919H922 of $234,852,742.
To the mind of the writer there is
nothing dolorous in the foregoing
statement of incontrovertible facts.
How does the statement impress you ?
Keep constantly in mind the com
manding fact that the farmers of
Georgia have had, will continue to
have, as much to do with the mailing
of Georgia’s tax digest as any other
body of our citizens.
“There is no new thing under the
sun.” Problems? Yes. We hie
had them in Georgia heretofore. We
solved them. We shall solve every
problem now pending just p.S we did
the greatest one ever submitted to us.
That was in the spring, summer and
autumn of 1865. Other smaller prob
lems confronted us in the 70s. One
by one. we solved them. • Georgia i*

SOUTHERN BAI'MmS DONATE
$952,570 FOR HOME MISSIONS
Funds contributed by southern Bap
tists for home mission activities dur
ing the convention year just conclud
ed totalled $952,570.18, according to
announcement by the home mission
board of the Southern Baptist Con
vention. This figure is approximate
ly the same as in 1923, when X:152,-
031.07 was received for home mission
purposes. These funds were the
home board’s share of the proceeds
from the $75,000,000 campaign, which
was inaugurated five years ago by
southern Baptists to finance the ac
tivities of the denomination for a
five-year period. Efforts were made
to collect all pledges due at this time
so that finances for the convention
year might be put in satisfactory
shape, athough the five-year period,
as far as collections are concerned,
has been extended until this fall.
The year just closed has seen the
debt of the home board considerably
reduced and many remarkable re
sults accomplished in the various de
partments, according to a statement
from Dr. B. D. Gray, corresponding
secretary of the board, accompany
ing the announcement of the financial
status. The extension of the time for
payment of campaign pledges has af
fected the receipts somewhat, but the
outlook is hopeful on that account, he
declares.

Rub Backache Away
Instant Relief with a small

“St. Jacobs Oil.”
Kidneys cause Backache? No!
They have no nerves, therefore can
not cause pain. Listen! dour back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or a strain, and the quickest relief is
soothing, penetrating “St. Jacobs Oil."
Rub it right on your painful back,
and instantly the soreness, stiffness
and lameness disappears. Don’t stay
crippled! Get a small trial bottle ot
“St. Jacobs Oil" from your druggist
and limber up. A moment after it is
applied you’ll wonder what became of
the backache or lumbago pain.
Rub old, honest “St. Jacobs Oil
whenever you have sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism or sprains, as it is abso
lutely harmless and doesn’t burn the
skin.
LADIES! DARKEN ’
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma’* Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother’s time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took c“. bat dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful ef
fect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store fer a bottle of “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound,’’ you will
get this famous old preparation, im
proved by the addition of other ingre
dients, which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair.
Well-known druggists say it darkens
the hair so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You siffiply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
vour hair, taking one strand at a time,
tly morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.

i
Take Salts to Wash Kidneys if
Back Pains You or Bladder
Bothers
Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water' each day, alsb take salts
occasionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish anil
weaken: then you may suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the hack or sick headache, dizzi
ness, your stomach sours, tongtu: is
coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body’s urinous waste get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here: take a tabkspoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days, and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
.rom the acid of grapes and lemon juice
combined with lithia. and has been used
for years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize tile
acids in the system so thev no longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
weakness.
, J af l Salts is inexpensive; can not in
jure and makes a delightful efferve
cent litliia-v.atcr drink. Bv all means
have your physician examine vour kid
neys at least twice a year.
