• - For truly, the esrth is the Lords
and the fullness thereof, but the
responsibility is vested in for its stewardship
man.'
MAN'S RELATION TO THE LAND
God created the world, of which the earth is a portion, with a
purpose, and through his loving Providence He maintains the
world for the good of human beings. Therefore, all human beings
possess a direct natural right to have access to created natural
resources.
Land is a very special kind of property. Ownership of land does
not give an absolute right to use or abuse, nor is it devoid of
social responsibilities. It is in fact a stewardship. It implies such
Hand tenure and use as to enable the possessor to develop his
personality, maintain a decent standard of living for his family
iand fulfill social obligations. At the same time, the land steward
(has a duty to enrich the soil he tills, and to hand it down
to future generations as a thank offering to God, the Giver, and
as a living inheritance to his children’s children.
The stewards of the land owe sacred duties and obiligations
.to God, the community and humanity. A faithful and honest
fulfillment of their responsibilities goes hand in hand with their
rights and privileges .

clergymen and workers of all faiths.)

Tomato Program
Once again several truck
farmers in Dade County are
working to form an organized
group to raise and sell tomatoes
profitably.
Last Thursday notices were
sent by County Agent L. C.
Adams to the four members of
the tomato committee: Art
Moore, Bill Pullen, Ewell Brown
and E. A. Stallings, that special¬
ists from the Agricultural Ex¬
tension Service and the Experi¬
mental Station of the University
pf Georgia would be here to help
them. plan. Not only was the
committee present but eleven
other truck farmers listened
while Cecil Blackwell, Vegetable
Specialist; W. C. Carter, Market¬
ing Specialist; Roy Green, Mar¬
ket and Research Specialist
and District Agent H. E. Chas¬
tain gave details on the pro¬
blems of production, grading,
packaging and marketing of
tomatoes.
There have been pledged for
this project 35 acres and the
committee hopes to have a mini¬
mum of 50 acres for this year’s
program. They are hoping to
assemble all the produce at a
central place for the grading
and packaging so as to sell it as
a unit which is more apt to;
attract the buyers. If the tomato

and 4 P. M.
After it is know how many will
want the surplus commodities, a
requisition will be sent in and a
distribution day will be set when
the commodities can be given
out. The government has set
rules and regulations which will
be followed.
For a county to receive com¬
modities, the county officials
lhave to be willing for them to be
distributed in the county and
[the director of public welfare
has to approve the director but
the commodities will not be dis¬
tributed through the county
welfare department. After many
meetings, the necessary prelim¬
inary work has been done. Be¬
cause there is no money avail¬
able to pay a commodities dir¬
ector or a staff, Ordinary Peck
has offered the county trucks to
haul the commodities into Dade
and the Helping Hand will take
over from there on a volunteer
basis. Distribution will be once
a month.
