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 chares. ir. the language of i.ne of ■the greatest heart'd ancs.'h.-: ‘‘.My brethren, nave not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect <of person.

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.

I WOULDN'T BE TIME TO J SAY A WORP- MOT 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 \ WELL - THAT'S J \ JU?T WHAT HAPPEN6P / \a ol' pear, I pip// THE rrEWS-HEEAUt, U«mkm«U, (WjH 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* going forward! 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. H. P. Stiff Motor Co. Ca*h or credii- g!

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.
