HICKORY HILL
CHIPS FROM
By PEARL HALL BEATY
Well, our rainy spell has all
dried up; and when I say dried
up, I don’t anean perhaps! We’re
dry as a bone now, but hoping
for rain every day. There’s some
beans, cucumbers, and berries
canned at the present date.
Hope we find some peaches, but
it’s doubtful.
They may be making lawn mow¬
ers now, but I mean they
haven’t let up on grass growing.
My yard looks like a pasture
where the cows are gone on va¬
cation. My tuberious rooted be¬
gonias are doing awfully sorry.
Does anyone know what they
might need? The crow is doing
nicely on grasshoppers and
crickets, and the two puppies
are a tumbling mass of fur and
black eyes all the day long.
Some days our spirits soar
with hope, then some days our
hearts ache with uncertainty
and dread. How long will the
war go on? How many more of
our boys will have to go? Where,
oh where, will the carnage
cease? Now our leaders say we
positively cannot hope for peace
in less than two—maybe three
years. Like an invincible tide
the Nazis push on toward the
outlet of Egypt and over the
fields of Russia. Like an evil
crawling thing, the Japanese
creep on and out over the Paci¬
fic. And like a great sleeping
monster, the American shake
themselves and grit their teeth,
ma king ready to spring. The
worst thing is that we have slept
too long. Our leaders can see it
noWj but ten, twelve years ago
is when we should have been pre-
paring. They just couldn’t be-
i ieve there would ever be the
need. We are in it now and
working wuiMHg like Jin.c mau mad to w sweep o v* every v
obstacle out of our way and
put put our our best best foot foot in in the the enemy’s enemy’s
face. The sooner we learn that
it’s guns and good, wholesome
ra tions that our army needs,
and not soda pops, the sooner
they can put their foot where

There’s peace in these hills, pal,
Peace that your heart has nev¬

There’s beauty among the pines,

G ounty Health Nurse
Is Guest Speaker
Of Dade Lions Club
Dade’s new Health Nurse,
Mrs. Sarah Kirby, was guest
speaker at the regular meeting
of the Lions Club held at the
Methodist church here Tuesday
night.
Going considerably into detail
concerning health work and her
duties as a health nurse, Mrs.
Kirby outlined an excellent pro¬
gam for this county. Among the
chief objectives of county health
work is “early finding of cancer,
tuberculosis and protecting the
family as a whole,” she said.
"Health work is equal to any
mission,” Mrs. Kirby pointed out.
She emphasised the importance
of immunization and asked the
full cooporation of everyone in
the protection against typhoid,
dyptheria and other diseases.
Mrs. Kirby told the club that
her work was classified under
five principal headings, namely:
Tuberculosis, Venereal diseases,
morbidity, non-communicable
diseases (including cancer, etc),
and maternity cases. Daily rec¬
ords, she said, are kept, in order
that a true report of just what
is being done, may be available
at all times and to serve as a
guide for future work. The
itemized daily reports are sum¬
marized at the end of each
month.
Concluding her talk, Mrs. Kir¬
by stressed the necessity of a
“county advisory committee” to
assist in extending the advan¬
tages of health work into every
section of the county.
“I like Dade County very, very
much,” she said and stated fur¬
ther that she was particularly
interested in our rural and
mountain homes.
Mrs. Kirby comes highly rec¬
ommended as an experienced
health officer and it is hoped
that she will receive the full
cooperation of the people of the
county.
“A full time health officer for
Dade County,” was a project
sponsored by the Lions Club.
Lion L. M. Allison presided
over the business session of the
meeting. After installing officers,
the gavel was turned over to
the new president, Lion W. F.
Morrison, who gave a brief, but
inspiring talk.

and able Attorney General, Is one
of the most energetic figures In
the State’s public life. While di¬
recting the activities of the Law

he has been called upon to render
more opinions than any Attorney
General In his-
r~"“ga^rT-l % tory, he finds
time for other
j Jj activities.
In 1940, Mr.
Arnall headed
the Georgia
Roosevelt Clubs,
which conduct¬
ed the Presi¬
dent’s re-elec¬
tion campaign.
In 1941, he di¬
rected the Pres¬

Ellis Arnall Celebration,
which raised a record amount of
money to combat infantile paraly¬
sis. Several years ago he served
as President of the State Junior
Chamber of Commerce and of the
Young Democrats. The Attorney
General also has managed to find
time to carry on a vigorous drive
against subversive and un-Ameri¬
can activities.
Born at Newnan, Georgia, Ellis
Arnall was a typical “small town
boy”. He worked after school and
through the summer in his father’s
grocery store. Later he attended
Mercer and the University of Geor¬
gia, where he studied law and
graduated with first honors. He
practiced law In Newnan, served as

Mr. Arnall still lives in his na¬
tive Coweta County, and despite
the tremendous pressure of work
In the Law Department, he “hitch¬
hikes" home late every afternoon.
A devoted “family man", he spends

pendent. He is a persistent advo¬
cate of honest, efficient, econom¬
ical and serviceable government.

Coweta County Will
Honor Arnall With
Free Barbecue July 4
NEWNAN, Ga„ June 22,
Menu: 12,000 pounds of barbe¬
cued meat; 12,000 gallons of
Brunswick stew; 6,000 loaves of
bread; 25 barrels of pickles; 3,-
000 gallons of lemonade.
Sounds like a big order, but
for Coweta County, “the barbe¬
cue capital of the world,” it’s
just enough to go ’round on
July 4, when the county will
be host to the greatest crowd
in her history at a free barbe¬
cue in honor of Ellis Arnall,
home town candidate for gov¬
ernor.
Judge J. T. Pike, Ordinary nr

will head a staff of more than
100 expert Coweta County cooks

training in the fine art of lus¬
cious barbecue and red-brown
Brunswick stew, for which the
county is already famous
throughout the South
Newnan’s Mayor C. J Smith
today predicted that tiie coun
ty’s projected entertainment of
the friends of Attorney General
Ellis Arnall will be one of the
most impressive Independence
Day celebrations ever staged in
Georgia. Starting at noon, the
program will include music by
a famed hillbilly band, songs by
the renowned LeFevre Trio, pa¬
triotic music by a girls’ band of
150 pieces, the barbecue itself
and then the speakers of the
day, the latter broadcast over
radio station WSB from two to
three o’clock.
“Coweta is putting the little
pot in the big one to honor her
native son, Ellis Arnall,” said
T. . Sewell, chairman of the

the interest shown was like that
exhibited in the campaign days
of the late Governor William T.
Atkinson, first Georgia chief
executive furnished the state by
Coweta County.

Income of Dade
Farmer Increased
Four Times Since ’36
By O. B. COPELAND, Editor,
Georgia Agricultural Extension
Service
Most any fellow who could
increase his income by four
times would naturally become
more interested in what he was
doing.
That has happened to Roy
Moore, Dade County farmer,
who, since 1936, has doubled his
corn and hay yields and is now
receiving $1,400 in farm labor
income compared to only $300
six years ago.
Phosphate and lime have
been the secret of success. Of
course, hard work has contrib¬
uted its share to prosperity on
this 80-acre northwest Georgia
farm. Today Moore thinks lime
and phosphate will redeem any
kind of land.
In 1936 when he became a
Tennessee Valley Authority unit
test demonstration farmer, in
cooperation with the Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service,
his farm was averaging 15 bush¬
els of corn per acre. Last year
the per acre yield was 36 bush¬
els.
Hay yields jumped from 1,700
pounds per acre to 2,500 pounds
per acre; the farm labor income
increased from $300 in 1936 to
$1,400 in 1939.
During this time Moore appli¬
ed 179,000 pouns of triple super¬
phosphate and 120 tons of
ground limestone on his Look¬
out Mountain farm. Acreage
planted to soil depleting crops
decreased from 31 acres in 1935
to only 12 acres in 1939. Legume
acreages increased from 22 to 77
during these years.
When he moved to this farm
in 1930, building a barn and ter¬
racing the land were the first
two jobs Moore did. “I wanted
to take care of my livestock and
my soil—the two sources of in¬
come,” he told a group of visi¬
tors recently.
My father had owned this
place since 1906,” he continued,
“and I have spent most of my
life onTt except for a few years
off at school and teaching
school. When I came back to it
in 1930, the land was so poor
that a crop of sweet potatoes
planted the previous year was
not even dug due to poor yields.”
Pointing to a fertile field,
Moore said, “There was a time
when we thought that land was
just about washed away. But
I’m convinced that when land
is handled right here it can be
as good as in any other section
the United States.”
Sheep, hogs, cattle and a few
in row crops such as po¬
and corn are all soudces of
on Moore’s farm.
