NEW YORK, June 00 (Special)
—Letters and clippings from news*
papera all over the country reflect
the growing interventionist senti*
ment throughout the United States,
according to Francis Miller, vice
chairman of the Fight for Freedom
Committee:
“No one knows the opinions of
Main Street better or has more in¬
fluence there than the local editor,"
savs Mr. Bell, "and so we are par-
says Mr. Miller, "and so we are
particularly heartened by atten¬
tion to the work of our Committee
from newspapers in small commu¬
nities as well as the larger cities.
The response of Mr. F. G. Collins
of The Gulf Coatt Examiner, Bi¬
loxi, Miss., that ‘I am sincerely and
honestly convinced that the future
of our nation is bound up in the
outcome of the war raging over¬
seas and that wa should insure, by
whatever means necessary, the
safe arrival of the goods and
equipment the last remaining essential peoples to survival already for
fighting for freedom in an embat¬
tled world,’ is typical. Ed Chand-
I ley, editor of The Highlander, Lake

believes ‘the whole town will co¬
operate 100%.
"Mr. H. K. Frear of the Bedford

our ads at cost and auggests that
'many other patriotic newspapers
would do the same.’ ”
The Committee announces that
it would welcome copies of papers

IT'S LONESOME THERE
The roses need a framing,
The grass needs a cutting, too;
Some ’o the trees need a pruning,
They’re cutting off the view.
There’s weed s in the orchard,
Moles in my back yard;
The phlox are a riot of color
Hickory sprouts on the sward.
Just take it all in general,
Things in bieutiful confusion;
With grass growing between the
flag stones,
And order is a forgotten illusion.
Naw, the house ain’t haunted,
’Cept by a rat and spider gray;
Also ther’s scorpions and lizzards,
And no one to stop their pay.
It’s lonesome, but a haven of rest,
Cut off from the outside world;
Just peace, sunshine and blue
skies,
For neighbors—mocking birds
and squirrels.

GEORGIA FARMERS ADOPT
BETTER FARM PRACTICES,
EXTENSION REPORT SHOWS
Georgia farmers made phe¬
nomenal strides in agriculture
during 1940 through adoption of
better farm and home practices,
according to the annual report of
the Agricultural Extension Ser¬
vice, released this week.
The year 1940, according to
Extension Director Walter S.
Brown, brought on numerous
adjustments in the agricultural
life of Georgia farm families, and
made it more necessary than ev¬
er before to adopt a more or less
^uusistence type of farming, es¬
pecially in view of the stoppage

on farms. Some 500 sheep
to farmers, and a
considerable increase in quality
number of poultry flocks.
400 trench silo s dug, as a
of conserving more feed
livestock.

ed to income through adoption
one-variety cotton production
Largest per-acre pea¬
yield—835 pounds—in his¬
of state, and 300-pound in¬
over 1939 in acre produc¬

winter legume seed sown,
production increased 151,-
tons, and half-million acres

Around 1,950,000 acres of corn
interplanted to summer leg¬

small grain-winter legume
Mor e than 150,000 acres
to permanent and tem¬
pastures. Some 3,000,000
of seed of soil-building
saved, plus other im¬
practices.
About 50,000 acres of land re¬
representing a 1,600
increase in five years.
$10,000,000 worth in mar¬
assistance of farm pro¬
both in purchasing and
of farm supplies.
Increase of 20,000 farm fami¬
receiving benefits of elec¬
Some 4,000,000 additional

$250,000 through improved
practices, while a $478,-
saving was effected by home
practices of the Ex¬
Service. Over 3,000,000
of food s canned by home
club members and
girls.
In 4-H work, boys and girls
nearly 300,000 projects
at some $3,000,000. En¬
set all-time record of
members, including both
and Negroes. Livestock
amounted to approxi¬
$800,000 and gardening
of club members were
at $465,000.
Negro workers of the Extens¬
Service held 2.723 method
