SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
For April 21. —The Books of Amos and Hosea
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “Hate the evil, and
love the good.” Amos 5.15.
It would be a human impossibility
to cover even superficially the mes
sages of the books of Amos and
Hosea in one-half hour. All we can
hope to do here is to discover the
conditions under which these men of
God were raised up and against
which they spoke, those conditions
which were subversive to the high
est interests of God’s people.
They were contemporaries but en
tirely different men. Hosea lived
in the north and was a city man.
Amos lived in the wild barren re
gion of the mountains of Tekoa jn
the south and was a herder of sheep
and a truck farmer. Hosea was the
embodiment of love: Amos was tie
stern advocate of law. Hosea plea
ed. entreated, yearned, suffered;
Amos denounced in the plainest lan
guage. (He called the • fashionable,
ladies whose lives were spent in lux
ury and sin, “You fat cows o
Bashan.’’) . T -„
They lived during the reigns of L -•
ziah in the south and Jeroboam 1
in the north. At this tune the kmS£
doms of Israel and Judah wete at the
zenith of their prosperity. iw
with increasing wealth and
had come attendant evils- J
was no middle class, the rich
becoming richer and richer, and the
poor were increasing in po'eitj. i
rich “sold the righteous for silver
and the needy for a pair of shoes
So gree'dy for gain were they that
thev “panted after the dust on the
head of the poor’’—begrudged even
Oiat. They were totally conscience
less —“turning aside the way of the
m p e k”__not hesitating to betray any
trust if they could make a little mon
ey out of it. And so bent on getting
were they, that they begrudged the
time spent in religious observances,
always anxious for the time to go by
so they could get back to their ne
farious businesses —“When will the
new moon be gone, that we may sell
corn? and the Sabbath that we may
set forth wheat?” And with it all
they were also dishonest, making:
the ephah small and the shekel great, :
and dealing falsely with balances
of deceit.” '
With increasing wealth came lux- j
Urious living. They had silken
couches, and beds of ivory; winter ■
houses and summer homes, great >
mansions and estates. Ihe most ;
delicate viands must be served at !
their tables; and all kinds of amuse
ment must be devised for their en
tertainment. ' They adorned them- I
selves with the finest of clothes and ,
anointed themselves frith the chief
ointments.
Intemperance in the matter of wine
was an easy step and they were no
longer content with the occasional
drink, but drank wine in bowls. Im
morality was the next step; and es
pecially disgusting because it was •
done in the name of religion.
The thirst for power and for gain
was so great that they took bribes
and perverted judgment; even tak
ing the clothes off a man’s back as
a pledge and then coming to the
house of worship with them! ,
For, strange as it may seem, these
people were most religious. They
did not neglect in one instance the
observance of their religious cere
monies. They brought • their sacri
fices every morning and their tithes
every three days. They came to
church whenever if was opened and
contributed regularly and liberally.
They even made thanksgiving sacri
fices to God for prospering them so
in their temporal affairs and pro
claimed -freewill offerings of that
which they had taken by-all-but
crushing-out’the-very-life-of-the-poor!
They were extremely religious—but
their religion was merely an observ
ance of the forms. They were not
“grieved for the affliction of Jo
seph.” They were totally indiffer
ent to the rights of an holy God, for
He said “I hate, I despise your
feasts, and I will take no delight in
your solerim assemblies. Yea. though
ye offer me burnt offerings and meal
offerings, I will not accept them;
neither will I t regard the peace of
fering of your fat beasts. Take thou
away from me the noise of your
songs; for I will not hear the melody
of thy viols.” .
Increasing wealth, greed, graft, in
justice, oppression, luxurious living,
intemperance, immorality, indiffer
ence to the real needs of the people,
formalism in. religion—what an in
dictment against those who by reason
of God’s dealings with them in the
past should have known better and
behaved differently! Os course, there
could be but one result —degenera-
tion and destruction. And that is
what occurred. The northern king
dom, more corrupt, was destroyed
and their people carried captive into
Some years later the south
ern kingdom fell captive to Baby
lon. God “sifted” them, did “not ut
terly destroy” them, let “not the
least grain!’ fall to the earth, for lie
had made a covenant with Abraham
and confirmed it with an oath, and
God's oath holds good. Their dis
persion today and the persecutions
they have endured and shall yet en
dure will not violate that oath, for
He “will yet raise up a tabernacle
oY David . . . and bring again
the captivity of Israel . . . and
they shall no more be plucked up
out of their land which I have given

them, saith the Lord thy God but
that is another story which we have
hot time for now.
Israel and Ameriea
The thing that interests us partic
ularly is the parallel which Is on the
very face of it between Israel and
America America today is the rich
est nation in the world. During the
last twelve years our savings .depos
its have increased from ¥8,428.000,000
tor $18,373,000,000; our insurance com
panies during the past two years
are increasing their assets at the
rate of $700,000,000 a year; our peo
i pie increased their own savings more
I than $1,000,000,000 during the last
' two years; we own ninety per cent of
' the automobiles of the world and
bought over 5,000,000 of them in the
last two years.
With increasing wealth have come
to light countless instances of op
pression of the poor, greed for gam
making men stoop 1 to anything—
• graft, bribes, and Injustice. And
‘.these’ have been, as in Amos’ day,
among the “notable men” of the na
tion, as well as among the less well
known. Big business squeezes little
business, utterly indifferent as to
the results so long as he has his
pound of flesh. i
America is living luxuriously. Win
ter houses and summer homes; Flor
ida in the winter and the Adiron
dacks in the summer. Ivory' pal
aces; lying updn silken couches; eat
ing lambs of the flock; drinking wine
in bowls. Everybody gone pleasut e
mad. And withal having a form of
godliness, but denying the power
thereof. Never was there more punc
tilious observance of the forms of
religion; but formalism is increasing.
Hear what God says: “I hate, I de
-1 spise yOur sacrifices and your burnt
offerings. . . . Take away from me
the noise of your songs; for I will not
hear the melody of your viols.” ,
Now, what is going to be' the out
come? There can be but one—Amer
ica must fall as Israel fell and as
Judah fell. Babylon, Greece, Rome
grew wealthy' and indifferent and
luxurious, and immoral, and fell.
Why should America expect any
thing else if she continues in the
same course that*these other nations
I have followed? All the more reason
why America should fall, for her
opportunities and her responsibili
ties have been- greater. America
must turn if she would continue.
But Wiow is America to turn?
America is nothing more or less than
the composite of 110,000.000 souls.
The majority of these will follow
the leadership of others. A few firm
souls in every community who will
stand unflinchingly for the right at
whatever cost can stem the tide and
lead the nation back to God. The
responsibility therefore is primarily
on the individual one. The hope of
the nation is in the individual. You
must get right inside; and then the
things about you will get right. It
is foolish to think that improving
the circumstances of a man will
make him right. Prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of strong
drink is right, but it does not make
men right. Our nation is dry legal
ly and actually in some spots; but
the down-grade has been more rapid
in the last ten years than ever be
fore — not because of prohibition but
in spite of it. The way to make the
nation dry is to make the individual
dry, and Jesus Christ in his heart
can and does accomplish this. Win
a man for Christ, and it doesn t
make any difference whether there
is a law prohibiting the sale of
liquor or not, he will not want the
stuff and he will not buy it. Win
a man for Christ, and he will not op
press the poor, or be governed by
greed or graft. Win a man for
Christ, and he will not spend money
selfishly, regardless of the needs of
others. Win a man for Christ and
he will not offer sacrifices and songs
that. God will'despise.
The solution of the problem is in
the individual. The solution is you,
yourself. Are you a Christian? Are
you a. learner of Him who was. meek
and lowly? Are you a. follower of
Him, who, though He was rich, yet
for your sake He became poor that
you through His poverty might be
rich? Is your life surrendered whol
! 1* to Him? Is He your Savior? .Is
i He also your Lord?
Oh, for your own sake, for the
sake of America, for the. sake of Him
Who loved you and gave Himself
for you, yield your life and all to
Jesus Christ!
Fugitive Slave Law
' Invoked by Mother
To Recover Children
, WASHINGTON, April 19. —An
i ancient fugitive slave law which was
| amended in 1850 to apply to appren
i Heed minors fleeing from their mas
i ters was invoked today by a Wa-Sh
i ington widow to obtain possession
of her two minor children, who, she
declares, have escaped from her and
now are in the state of Virginia. The
district supreme court was asked to
! make a transcript of record ,of the
“fugitives” which the mother may
present to the tribunal of the Old
Dominion in order to get her children
back. The petition does not say in
what part of the state the children,
now 9 and 6 years old, respectively,
are living nor why they are being de
tained from their mother, Mrs. Ada
M. Trapponier.
The court was told tijat the girls’
father is dead and that the petitioner
| under the laws of the District of Co
lumbia is entitled to their service
i and labor during their minority. Un
i dtfr the law invoked the master to
whom a minor had been apprenticed
and from whom he had escaped is
authorized to bring such action in
court to obtain possession of the
fleeing apprentice. Since the law
used the term “persons to whom
labor is due,” the mother seeks to ap
ply its provision to her effort to re
cover her children.
The children are named Evelyn
Harriett Breeden, J, and Ruth Eliza
beth Breeden. 6.

Dear Children:
When you read this, Easter Sun
day will have passed again. Pur
posely this year I did not mention
it ahead of time, for it occurred to ;
me that you might think I felt that ;
it was necessary to remind you of i
the day. I am wondering if you !
had a happy day, and hoping that >
you did. Surely everything in na-i
ture at this season is to remind us
of the beautiful resurrection.
What I have Intended to remind
you of, though, is this: Do not pull
great boughs of dogwood, if it is
still blooming in your community;
do not break big sprays of azalea
or sweetshrub. These flowers fade
so quickly, and because people, big
and llttlq, have made a practice of
ruthlessly breaking branches from
these trees and bushes, our trees
have lost much of their beauty, and
our flowering bushes are disappear
ing.
Don’t you think it is nicer to have
lovely woods to walk through than
to carry for a while a faded branch
or spray from these bushes?
Lovingly,
__AUNT JULIA.

Dear Folks: We are not far from
the time when our friends will be
dropping by in the late afternoons
as they go driving and we will want
to offer them some refreshments be
fore they go on their way.
So from now on I'm going to put
in every little while a recipe for
some dainty sandwich that may be
served with iced tea or lemonade.
Do y.ou remember the rule I gave
you for making ice tea last year?
You boil the lemon rinds in the
water yoti are to make your tea or
rather your syrup of, the half of the
lemons you use will be sufficient.
When this is done remove rinds, add
sugar and boil until the consistency
of a light syrup, sweet enough to
sweeten the rest of your lemon juice
and your tea. Add this to your
lemon juice, cool your tea, put to
gether and. chill. It really takes so
much less sugar made this way and
has a “flavor all its own.”
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.
Jule: The overblouse is very much
in evidence at present. One of our
biggest shops is displaying a win
dow full today, some all white, but
the majority very brilliantly col
ored, and all short sleeved. Os course
some long sleeves will be worn, with
some styles of dresses the short
sleeve would be absurd.
Mrs. T.: I know that I haven’t
sent in the articles on etiquette as
I promised, the reason is that I am
absolutely unsatisfied with the batiks
that 1 purchased, but I am getting
the best that the book stores are of
fering and promise that it will be
only a short time when we will have
a series of articles on this subject.
Mary L.: I do think your idea is
practical. Cover your square table,
if it i§ only about 27 to 30 inches
square, with a smashing cretonne,
'have your husband who is clevei
with carpenter tools, to put you in
a nice snug molding all around the
edges of the table after the cretonne
is smoothly put on, then.varnish all
over with a. good clear varnish. You
can then just wipe off the top of
your table and will jhave Mist as
smart a table for your magazines
and books as your porch will re
quire.
I. F. C.: Ara answering your let
ter personally today, but for the
benefit of some others who might
like to know, it is perfectly permis
sible for you to send a. graduation
gift to your friend if the invitation
to the graduation exercises include
the whole family. Jt is not always
possible to get a sufficient number
of such invitations to send a sep
arate one to each member of the
family. Will send you a list of suit-
I able gifts right away.
i Eunice: If it js possible I’d de-
I lay buying my white hat until later,
j your ideas change about a white
hat as the season gets warmer. Get
i a hat now that you can wear with
I about everything except white
dresses.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
If You Must Have Family Spats,
Don't Embassass Your Friends by
Staging the Bout in Public—
Quarrel's Place Is in Home
THIS is a sad world, mates, with
too little sunshine in it, so far
he It from me to abridge, abate
or curtail any innocent pleasure.
But it does seem to me that there
are certain diversions that should be
indulged in only
in the prix'acy of
home.
One of these
is the family
spat. Apparent
ly a large num
ber of men and
women get mar

purpose of pro
viding t h e m

I sparring part

they can put on

moment’s notice with, or without,
the slightest provocation. Life has
no dull moments for them, because
they are always saying something
that draws blood, or framing a re
tort that will cut to the quick, and
the excitement of a battle to the
death is perpetually thrilling their
nerves.
Without doubt, it is a merry.and
ad\ p enturous existence for the
doughty domestic warriors who en
joy that kind of thing! I would not
be cruel enough to deny ( them the
cheery pastime of going to the mat
over every trivial difference of opin
ion. But I do contend that conjugal
quarrels are an indoor sport that
should be pursued only Avhen the
participants have sought the seclu
sion that the cabin grants, as they
used to say in “Pinafore,” and when
all the shades have been pulled down
and the keyholes stuffed with cot
ton.
Possibly the lack of an audienef
might take off a Ittle of the edge
of the bout for trie battling hus
band and spouse; but, oh, how im
measurably it would add to the com
fort and happiness of those of us
who are the innocent bystanders
and who are forced to look on, sick
with horror, at these encounters!
In all good truth I know of no
other situation so miserable and so
embarrassing as to be called upon to
referee a fight between a married
couple. Their quarrel is, to begin
with, a matter xvith which we have
no concern; one in which we do not
desire to meddle; one in which Wo
ardently wish to take neither side.
It makes us feel like cowards to
keep silent while a man hurls deadly
insults at his wife, and we writhe
in vicarious shame while a woman
vituperates her husband.
We have the sense of having as
sisted in an indecent orgy when a
husband and wife strip every rag
of reserve away from their rela
tionship and fling open the doors of
their skeleton closets, and rattle
Zane Grey. Gene Stratton Dorter does fine;
also Mrs. Gergie Sheldon; also writes real
good books. But nothing can compare with
Zane Grey. Anvot.e who has any one of
these books, "Wildfire.” "The Mysterious
Rider.’ "Man of the Forest," "The Light
of Western stars,” “The Lone Star Ran
ger,” "The Desert of AATieat" and “Desert
by Zane Grey, [ have some real
good books I’ll exchange for them or
I will borrow, and pay postage both ways.
Will take good care of them and return
as quick as read. If you'll send me any
of these books I certainly will appreciate
it very much. AA ishing to hear from the
boys and girls that .have some of the books
at once. Love to all.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I've been
thinking of writing you a long lime and
have just, finished reading the letters in the
last issue of The Tri-Weekly Journal, so
I’ll now endeavor to make my visit. If I'm
admitted, I promise not to stay long. My
father has been taking The Journal ever
since I can remember, and we all think a
better paper is not printed. Some of you do
not like descriptions of the writer, but I
do. Then 1 have an idea what they look
like, so here’s mine: Five feet five ienhes
tall, weigh 11ft pounds, light brown hair,
hazel eyes and fair complexion, and, lastly, I
am married, and have been for three years.
So many of the cousins are teachers. Kelly
and I both taught before we married. He
did not like it very much. Tie's manager
of a store here in Kissimmee now. We
have been here two years. Kissimmee is a
nice little town, with good fishing In the
lakes and streams. I'll close now, and, if
Um admitted to your merry circle, I'll try
and make my next letter interesting. I
almost, forgot my age: I’m twenty-four, but
I don’t feel a day over sixteen. Write to
me, some or all of you. Best wishes to all,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder
how yon all are enjoying these pretty spring
days. We are just two new cousins and
sisters who decided to write to the Letter
Box, if Aunt Julia would give its her ad
vice, which wo hope she will. Wo live in
the dear old state of North Carolina, and
think if the best place in the world, but
guess the Other states are as dear to yon
all as North Carolina to us. It’s because we
live here that we think so. We go to a
state high school, and enjoy it very much.!
Guess by this lime you all are wondering
what we look like, so we will describe our
selves: I, Irene, am sixteen years of age
and am in the ninth grade ar. school. I.
I.etha, am only fourteen years of age nnd
am in the eighth grade at school. My
birthday is the 28th of September, and
Irene's is the 13th, of September. AA'e just
wonder who lias our birthdays. The ones
who have please write to us. We both have
bobbed hair. All who wish to write and
wish a reply just write to two girl’, both
boys and girls. Please write to us .cousins.

Dear Atint Jubi and Cousins; I have h»>n :

' me. My father took the Tri-Weekly Jour
nal when I was a girl and now my husband
takes it. I certainly do enjoy reading the
letters in Aunt Julia's Letter B"X. .Mr’.

gia best, for that - my native home. Um
aa great lover of flowers and I am also a
Itook worm. I had several different kinds
of box flowers but we bad some real cold
weather and they all were killed. Well,
cousins, I have been married the second
time. Aly first husband died when we had
■ een married only eighteen month’. I am
the mother of two children, a little blue-

their hones in public. Nor are we
consoled by the knowledge that the
people who make public exhibitions
of their tempers must enjoy doing
so or else they would not do it.
Yet xve all number among our
friends husbands and wives, other
wise estimable and charming indi
viduals, who always stage their
fights in the msot conspicuous plane
they can find, and who seem to
prefer an audience to privacy.
When you meet them for an eve
ning's diversion they are having a
preliminary set-to. Perhaps the hus
band has come home late from the
office, or has forgotten to mail a
letter, or possibly the wife has kept
her husband waiting while she did
her hair over the second time. Dur
ing. the selection of the dinner they
get warmed ui> ta the work and put
lin some punches xvith real steam
behind them. They clinch, and bite,
and gouge over the selection of n
play, and they reach for each other’s
vital spots and get in dirty jabs
at the supper dance that follows
the play.
Doubtless the fighters are enjoy
ing themselves, but a pleasant time
is not being had by all. The abash
ed onlookers know not what to do.
They do not know whether to rush
in and make it a free-for-all fight
or to try to mediate between the
warring couple, or whether to pre
tend to have been suddenly stricken
deaf, dumb and blind. And they
wind up by feeling outraged that
they should have been placed in
such a mortifying position, and
wishing heartily that the husbands
and wives would keep their quar
rels for home consumption and not
inflict them on their friends.
The same strictures apply to the
woman who henpecks her husband.
That also should be one of the
quiet home joys that should be
, strictly confined to* the domestic
circle.
I raise no voice of protest against,
the woman who has wit and
strength and determination enough
■ to oust her husband out ot his
positions as head ot the house and
assume it herself. It is a matter
between the husband and wife, and
. it he hasn't enough spunk to fight
for his rights he deserves to lose
them.
But why cannot the bossy woman
be content with exercising th.ir
' tyranny quietly and unobtrusively?
’ Why do they insist upon rattling
' the chains by which they lead their
husbands until they call public at
tention to them?
Think of the women you know
. who always say “MY house.” “MY
car.” “MY children.” Who always
’ walk ahead of their husbands and
• point out a seat, and say, “John, sit
. there,” and who always tell John
where to get on and where to get
off! And think how all the rest of
us are embarrassed for poor John!
Believe me, dirty linen should be
washed at home, and family quar-
‘ rels staged there. That is one of the
main things for which homes are
designed.

I won't take a subject as this is my first

spend our time. We know not what time
the Lord will take Us out of this world. For
me, I don't thin* the world will stand many
years yet. I don’t see how it can hardly,
the people are getUng so wicked. Be care
ful how you spend your time, cousins. I
see almost all of you are from the country.
Weil, I am, too. although I live in town
now. We have a home and a farm in the
country. I was born and raised in the coun

country best. I think the country is the
place to raise girls and boys. I will tell
you jn’t a “woe bit” how I look: I have
dark brown hair, gray eyes and fair com
plexion. I am seventeen years of age. I
i:ave a d p ar mother and father, throe sisters
and four brothers. We are all living. I
think that is a blessing. We should all be
good and mind our mother and father for we
won't have them always. 1 heard un or
phan boy say ome that after his mother
died every word that he said to his mother
that be onght not to have said, came back
to him. I think that would be awful sad
to think about, don't you? I must be going.
I just want to ask you cousins and Aunt

A Live Stock Policy for Georgia
Some hae meat, and canna eat
And some would eat that want, it;
But we hee meat, and we can eat,
Sae let the Lord be thankit.
Burns.
What a wonderful philosophy of
life the farmer poet of Scotland has
portrayed in these lines! It consti
tutes both a beautifully couched
Grace before meat and a prayer of
thankfulness to the “giver ot every
good and perfect gift,” for the mer
cies and blessings conferred upon
the participants in the feast, which
was to follow. It recites the fact
that health is one of the greatest
boons which h/uman beings can en
joy, and it succinctly defines the im
portant. and fundamental part which
the flesh ot animals plays in the hu
man dietary. I imagine that Bobby
Burns, when he voiced these senti
ments, was returning thanks upon
the meat which his own labor had
provided and made available for the
nourishment of himself and his
friends. It is not surprising under
such circumstances that he sould
have unconscioU|Sly formulated so ex
quisite a prayer or that he should
have been able; to state the noble
aspirations which welled up in his
heart so tersely and with whole
some unction.
We are great meat eaters in the
United States. We consume more of
the flesh of the domesticated animals
than the people of any other coun
try. We do our full share along this
line, more in the south; but I am
wondering if we could often repeat
Bobby Burns’ blessing with the same
degree of satisfaction that he evi
dently felt when he first formulated
and set it down for the benefit of
posterity? You may appropriately
ask why this hypothetical question
has been suggested. It is 'due en
tirely to the fact that the great ma
jority of our people are not pro
ducers of the meat which they eat.
Why does this condition pertain
throughout the south? And was it
always true that this section of the
country failed to raise the meat
which it consumed? The situation
which now exists arises from, the
fact that we have followed off after
“false gods” since the halcyon days
prior to 1860. In this case, it was
not the “golden calf” which led us
astray, but the devotion and concen
tration of our energies upon, the
cultivation of one crop; namely, cot
ton. It constituted the beautiful
though , wholly illogical theory
around which the uneconomical type
of agriculture we have followed had
as its central thought the idea that
we could buy our supplies of meat
cheaper than we could raise them.
How we could reach such an er
roneous conclusion is difficult to un
derstand because history records the
fact that from the earliest ages that
the people of that country which
were the most nearly self-sustaining
in the matter of supplying them
selves with food and the raw ma
terials needed for industrial develop
ment have always been the most
successful and prosperous.
As in the case of all nations which
endeavored to set aside economic
laws, God’s laws, if you’ please, for
they are nothing more or less than
this, our southern people have had
to pay th« penalty for their mis
takes. Every thoughtful student
knows that we here in the south
have paid a. king’s ransom almost
every year during the last five dec
ades to other sections of the United
States in consequence of the gross
neglect of our animal industries.
We havi simply been riding on a
merry-go-round, growing cotton
from year to year with varying de
grees of success anff then sold it
at such widely divergent prices as
to leave us cnly a, minor and in
consequential profit. Most of the
money made from cotton has of
necessity been sent elsewhere to
purchase the necessities of life. Even
last year, we were justly charged
with sending f.bout $100,000,000 of
our hard-earned wealth outside of
the borders of the state. It never
comes back, or in such slight pro
portions as to be of no very ma
terial service and benefit to our c.t
izenry. T i der these conditions, is
it surprising that our internal
growth and development and the ac
cumulation of permanent assets'
should have been relatively low?
Stoking the furnace for the other
fellow may be an interestiner diver
sion, but it ig the most unprofitable
work in which the population of a
given section of any country could
possibly engage.
We have- pursued the policy out
lined above until it has well-nigh
brought us face to face with u.sas
ter; but I am hopeful that we are
beginning to realize the nvure and
character of the trouble from which
we have suffered. Let us take the
necessary steps Immediately to rem
edy the existing situation by placing
a sufficient emphasis upon animal
industries to make our section self
sustaining in the matter of the
meat food supplies which our popu
lation requires. In the days of the
“old south” the planter finished and
cured out all the meat, he needed to
properly maintain his home estab
lishment. Jt was only after the rail
road came and the enlarging de
mand for cotton throughout the
world obsessed us that we followed
off after the false economic gods
to which reference has already been
made. If the ante-bellum planter
could provide the meat needed for j
the men and women employed on I
his plantation, what just and sensi
ble reason can be cited today for the
neglect, of an industry so vital to
our economic progress? We were
never in a piore favorable position
in sc far as the development of ani
mal industries are concerned in
Georgia, than we occupy today.
We have rather recently discover
ed that we have a number of na
tive grasses which will enable us to
very acceptably extend aur grazing
areas. Our breeders have shown bj'
