DOLLAR AND A HALF PER YEAR
Hursey and 4-H Clubs Going Camping.
Talks of the Flood and the Dairy Cow.
The Charlton County Club Boys
will leave for Athens and Camp
Wilkins on Sunday morning :of
July the 22 about 9 oclock. We
will take with us, lunches for
dinner and supper Sunday, break
fast and dinner for Monday. Two
boys can take a, sheet in their
suit case and a quilt for &cusheon
to ride on and to cover with at
night. Two or more boys ran
pack in one suit case. These
cases are awfully bad in the way
and the fewer we carry the better.l
The uniform is made up of a blue
shirt and overalls along with a
red hankerchief. Towels, soap.l
comb and tooth brushes comblete‘
the list. Get ready boys and let
me know as [ shall not make
arrangements for more boys than
are going.
Mr. Harris, the County Super
intendent cf Schools informed me
that we could have the use of
school trncks to take our bunch
Many thanks to him and the'
School Board. Also, the Folkston
Chamber of Commerce last Friday
night promised to pay for the gas
and oil to run the truck. Boys,
this is just fine and I know that
you all wili shout for joy to know
that the $7 expenses in Athensis
all each boy will have to pay.
The Chamber of Commerce will
long be remembered by the Club
Boys of 1928 in Charlton County:
Get your names in.at once.

of yours. These crop disasters
come once in a time and it is to
teach us the lesson of depeudence
upon the Maker. Many of your‘
projects may revive and you get
fair returns yet. Never give up
but do your best to win a few
scholavships for next year. The
sweet potatn boys have some
excelent chances to earn a few
scholarships. Keep the water off
your crops. Ditch, ditch, ditch.
Every boy finds a mild postin
life as we older people can re
member some of our first mild
posts. This trip will be worth at
least SIOO to some of the boys
while others will not gret very
much this time. We never know
which boy will get the great vision
or make a more useful man than
he had ever dreamed of. Parents
lets make the effort of the year to
see that our boys get off on this
trip.
I can not close this article with
out saying a few words to the
farmers of onr country who are
now measuring their efforts
Your crops are ‘partly drowned
anc the tick back here to hamper
our cattle development program
but these odsticles though great
will be over in time ana you will
march ont victorious in the end.
I have often said and still say;
if you will feed the good old dairy
cow she will feed you. I have
seen that proven in many cases
and for that reason I am going to
continue preaching a good four
gallon cow in the lot or in a small
pasture on every farm will feed
the family, ihe pig and the chicks’
If you have not that cow get her
at an early date so as to begin
economizing. Then again let me
urge every farmer to get youa
good modern pouliry house and
keep st least 100 hens. The
house will not cost very much;
you can do most of the work in
building it. Get it now end if
you have not got 100 young hens
Folkston Beating Nichols
