The wind and the sun had a

Mr. Editor, supposing your read¬

Mr. J. A. O’Kelley, at 7K, is
building him a new burn, a new
well shelter and changed his
house. So his his im¬

those that pass by. This is quiet
different from what has been told
Methuselah, who was 450 years
The Lord said unto him :
“Build thee a dwelling house.”
Methuselah asked : |‘Tlow many
more years will I live?” and the
Lord said; “450 years more.”
“Well,” said Methuselah, “it that
is all l will go on as 1 am.”
We drove up so our old home in
Hightower district, near Two

Prayer—The Service of Power
The Christian never despairs. He
s the servant of ad omnipotentGod
■ iid omnipotance is never at a loss
or tbe means necessary lor doing
-binge that should be done.
The Christian knows, too, that
irtyer is the key that unlocks the
eservoir ot divine power, as it ts
he key that opens the heart of the
vleavenly Father. JW e often fail
mcause we neglect to use this key
o His power. God gives us many
promises iu his word that He will
aswer prayer. \\ e fail to put
Jim to the test.
The story is told that when Sir
Walter Raleigh had gone to Queen
.'Elizabeth with some new request
he replied : “When are you go¬
ng to stop asking for things? Sit
•V alter’s answer was : “W hen the
Jueen stops giving.” The Chris
tan may assume this attitude when

quests in prayer.
Much interest is being manifest¬
ed in the Adult Bible Class mem¬
bership campaign. There were
fifty members present Sunday
morning, with Reds in the lead.
There are always two sides to a

It is expected that great

that, it is each individual’s own state

Real advancement never means go

you th- abilities and qualifications that
prepare you to meet the heavier exac¬

It is far better to go into action In

Hy A Writer Much Flat
We thought we would write
more and notify the people that
we have failed to write any for
several weeks. So now we will
try to write another little preach¬

get auy good out of it you shore
are welcome.
Nearly everybody around here
are working on the highway, mak¬
ing u pretty place for folks to ride
on. It looks now like when finish

we can’t tell yet how everything
will turn out. *
We notice where Gee McGee
writes about having to feed hen*
cracked ice during t he recent hot
weather for some purpose or other.
Well, now we don’t doubt that a

could go bathing with the ducks.
Well, for the love of Mike. We
want to tell you what some poot
boob away up in Dayton, Ohio
done here a few days ago: Why
bless your soul, that poor “critter”
sent us a paper as big as the At¬
lanta Constitution, trying to sell
.1 cash register. We know that
Oilie is round at both ends and

got that paper trying to sell us a

being something wrong in the
management of our governmental
affairs? Well—then, they come
every election year and say: “1
will do this or that, or my dear old
party will do so and so. Well,
they do but it is only to do some¬
thing to get votes for the next elec¬
tion, and to size up the whole
thing in a nutshell : we arc in the
hands of the oppressors, and the
poor man just as well be put in a
peck of stinging scorpions, and a
half dozen rattle snakes and wait
for his lime to come as to be de¬

keeping on the road to Washing¬
ton to make laws that will be any

we learned when we were a child
that we don’t get candy every time
I sone one sttid : Hush! now darling,
! mama will get you some candy if
you will hush your crying.” Well,
anyway the people mourn and the
scripture says : “When the wick¬

there you are!
And there they were! Noah,
His wife and some more folks that
we are not right well acquainted
all cooped up there with all sort*
of mighty animals, winged and un

hole-diggers and divers. But
when Noah wanted to find out
something he didn’t send lLe
mighty eagle, neither did he send
the lion, he didn’t send the pea¬
cock. He didn’t send any of the
cunning little animals, a hoof owl
nor a donkey. Why bless your
sou) honey, he picked out the most
harmless, most unassuming little
creature lie had in the old boat anil
sent it out. Well, by heck, that
little harmless thing got results.
That’s what we every time. Say,

A Luxury Farmers Can Afford To Have
Many farmers express themselves
as being in favor of any pb.i;
whereby they in tv improve '.belt
soil to a productive slate, bu’ -eem
never to get around to the pen.! ct
actually beginning the won*.
Putting off until tomorrow has be
come of such long standing that
par acre yields have gotton so low
there is little or no profit in our
tanning operations. Some farmers
exeiWe themse,res L V classing tnu
sowing of winter legume seed f>
soil improvement as a luxury th„y
ca nn ot afford. while others class 1X4
as a btxury they cannot do without
Tt- k is a rather amusing difference,
but nevertheless it exists.
In 1924 when extention w«rk
was begun instructing ta mers is
to the value of winter legumes ■•■>
soil improvers, there was very few
who could be interested, but si*
years have brought a decsd, t
change. A luxury at first with a.
lots now become a decided necesst 1 v
with many.
i or a fertilizer to become poj u
lur the user must be Convinced that
It pays, and there has been no e x
ception to this rule with winter
legumes for soil improvement. The
wonder is why they have not
grown in popularity faster, having
the ability to increase yields an
they do. Doubling the yield . .
crop* by turning under o> - m<
crop*, such us hairy vetch or A us
irm:. winter peas, has been a com
■non occurrence.
Au increase of ten to twen y
bushels of corn per acre at a mor,
outlay it #4 to $6” s a luxury
which most Georgia farmers cm
well aff-ird n, indulge.
How about your terraces? With
about 45% of our total annual rain
fall coming m the months of LX
cember, January, February and
March is an important reason why
ter luces should be worked over
the fall. If the land does not have
raced the good loose top soil w' i
be loosened by the pushing winter
freezes and washed away. If yon
a,e interested and want a specialist.
Horn the State College to help you
let me know. Lets get acquainted
anyway.
A inter legumes and small grain
respond readily to acid phosphate.
We need more than, ever before.
Now’s the time.
Now is the time to cull your
chickens so you will not have to
board the non producers during
the winter. They v ill consum
your profit if not taken out of th-r
