Farmers around Woodbine are shipping peas and beans to north ern markets. Some of them are contemplating planting for a late crop. VOLUME XXVIII. NUMBER 21 Much of tne County Cubls work is accomplished through the girls and boys and if their parents do not encourage the chil !dren the work will not be the suc cess that it should. In my_life study of children, I find that a child can be encouraged to do ‘any tning. Some few find the home - ties so binding that no amount of ‘bersuasion or encouragement from the outside can change there ideas from the parental training, but on the other hand the masses of the boys and girls are ton eagerto ac cept any thing that strangers may suggest and they are easily guided. away from the ideal man or W= man that papa and mama have pictured to them. Why do we find this difference among chil dren? It usually comes from the home training. The life that we live before our children forms their ideas of manhood and wo manhood. I now have 397 club members in the different clubs }and some of the children are do ing fine club work. Why are not Walldoine good work? [t is useless o answer this question but it may need explanation. First the chil ;dren became over enthused when [ talked to them at the various schools and when they went home parents said to them you can join if you want to. The child sent in e : L o ; YL o '.""f:t”.’?g_'"‘ s litd ?"," fellows | & 3 some kind of work for the club and then see that every ove ats tends the ciub meetings. In these clab meetings [am usually there to encourage them and help them plan future work and pleasure, Go with them to the meeiings. Some clubs are having real grood meetings while others fail to haye good altendince. Parents, please help make these harmless meet- INES a success, Right at this time the inccula tion of hogs needs attention if we are to sell any car loads this fall. The: South-Eastern G, Co-opera tive Associrtion has succeeded in having a veterizarian localed at Waycross and we can get his services by calling Dr. Murray King, Waycross Ga. Farmers get busy and use him or he will not be retained there, et me know how many hogs in your commun ity that are to be inoculated and | will get him to take in your com munity, There are other discases that, take a big toll of our hogs but nothing is so bad as cholrea, therefore lam anxious that you keep cholrea out by immuning your pigs when two or three months old, How about a visit day once a month? A day that every farmer sets aside as the day 10 be spent in looking at some one elses stoch or crop. That is a real school day for farmers and the more days you spend in looking a! the other fellows cattle, hogs or farm crops or inspecting a good poultry farm will save vou lois of money. and make you more happy and congenial, Take your wife with you to see some good gardens and beatiful yards and you will tind yourself repad o Sundred fold, Get u litte plea sure out of life along with profit, Will you try a few trips.
