It seems when I’m in Gergia, I‘m
happy for a day but there comes an
urge that I can’t resist to
pack up and away, away to any oth
er spot, it matters not to me and
the next day finds me sailing o’er the
hills of Tennessee, To feast my eyes
on the sight of sheep a grazing in
the sun, and face again the broad
highway with nothing to do but run,
I like that run, I like that thrill, I
hate to stop so I’ll gas up again “By
Jucky”, Since I’m on my way I’ll
skip along to the bluegrass of Ken
tucky, Where big red barns and red
brick homes and fences all around,
tell the passing world that folks do
well with the fertille limestone
ground, where horses grow with
glistening coats and gallant hearts
and speed, where colonels sip their
juleps and have cash for every need,
where Kentucky Burbon bubbles and
speeds the sportsman’s heart. It is
a fine country, yes indeed, but you
may have my part, for I’m off for
Old Virginia with her mountains
grand and fine, I’m off for old Vir
ginie and the Trail of the Lonesome
Pine, where a rasher of ham is a
work of art and fresh fried eggs the
frame, Old Virginia knows her onions
when it comes to the cooking game,
the negro cooks wear big white
caps and each a happy grin and I
can scarcely wait to fill my plate
and have my joy begin. I find a
friendly greeting there and a real
heartfelt adieu, when I start for
North Carolina and the streams and
skies so blue, where highways wind
round long green slopes and patches
are steep and small but the burley
grows rank in the fields and the
corn stands thick and tall, where peo
ple live by the side of the road and
extend a helping hand or a cheery
word to all who pass and a “come
back- when-you-can.”
I’m happy there, without a care,
until I change my mind and tire of
roads that twist and turn and forever
climb and climb, then I cast about
for a place to go and dream of old
South Carolina where the fish are bit
ing on the coast and beckoning fast
to me, to come along and bring my
hook or loaf on the sandy beach. ’Tis
only a step over long, straight roads
and the fishing easy to reach, but
when I man a sturdy boat and drop
my anchor down, it seems the fish
have gone on strike and there’s only
shark around. But plantation owners
tell me that ’twas just the other day
when they caught a million pounds or
so just up the coast away, and then
I’ll seek that chosen spot, my fishing
blood on fire, until some day I stop

to think, maybe someone is a liar,
maybe they just ain’t no fish a bitin’
in the whole country about, and if
there were I feel quite sure these
folks wouldn’t pull ’em out; they’ve
spent too long loafing in the shade
while cotton and tobacco grow; they
spurn all work with high disdain and
even at play are slow. They are good
natured, free of heart, and their
speech is low and kind, but if you
believe every tale they tell they'll
make you lose your mind. So still with
a yen for fishing, there’s only one
thing left to do, to go right off to
Florida where the fish are never few
the fishing there I know is good, the
sun shines warm and bright. So off
again for the Florida coast. I’ll sleep
down there tonight. The moon goes
down and the sun comes up a-shining
bright and free and I find my hoo 1
and I find my line for fishing in the
sea. The fish bite well and the sir
shine hot until to bait up is a task
Then I want to snooze in the noonday
sun; to sleep is all I ask. I’ll sleep so
much in the daytime until I cannot
sleep at night. Next thing I know
I’m ready to go where the fishing is i
real light, where the land is poor and
the hillsides steep and the bottoms j
are small and the ditches deep, back ,
to that farm sans lime or loam, but
full of rocks; yet still is home. Back
where the Toads ain’t such-a-much
and each stalk of corn needs a private
crutch. Where peas won’t sprout less
we turn them over and wheat won’i
grow nor neither will clover; back tc j
that place where I was born; where I
there ain’t no fishing nor huntsman’s
horn, where the grass grows thick
and the weeds grow tall and we owe
this year for what we ate last fall
It might sound bad but it ain’t no :
joke. It’s a darn good place to be ■
when broke.
One day I strolled upon the beach and
saw a lady fair,
I waved my hand and she smiled
back, so I strolled right over
there.
Her eyes were brown, her lips were
red, her hair of blackest hue.
And we laughed and talked for
hours there as people offtimes
do.
We watched the sun, we watched the :
tide, I even held her hand,
And we were happy on the beach,
just sitting in the sand.
But night came on as nights will
come; my wife arose and said.
“Get up from there, you lazy man,
and go put the kids to bed.”

FARM BRIEFS.

The annual conference of persons
nterested in the national poultry im
provement plan will be concluded in ■
Chicago tomorrow (May 28). Geor
gia’s representatives this year were
J. M. Shinkel, well-known Albany
poultryman, and Arthur Gannon,
poultry specialist for the Georgia ag
icultural extension service.
And, by the way, a new sound mo
ion picture, “The National Poultry
improvement Plan,” has just been re
leased by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. It d scribes the
various steps in poultry improvement
mder the national plan. The picture

About 97 per cent, of all the coun
ties in the United States are now
practically free of bevine tuberculo
sis, the department of agriculture re
ports. There remain only ninety-one 1
counties in the nation not classified
as modified accredited areas, that is.
areas where tuberculosis among cat
tle has been reduced to less than one
half of one per cent. Os the ninety
one counties which have not yet qual
ified, ferty-three are in California,
twenty-nine in South Dakota, four
teen in New York, four in New Jer
sey, and one in Maryland. But none '
in Georgia.
County agricultural agents from
sixteen states already have indicated
their intention of attending the pro
fessional improvement meeting, spon
sored by their national association, in
Washington, D. C., on June 8, 9 and
10. Os course, President Bright Mc-
Connell, of Augusta, will lead a del
egation from Georgia.
Despite some recent declines and
other- prospective reductions in prices j
of farm products, the bureau of agri-1
cultural economics says in its current
■ demand and price si.uation report that
prices during the next two months
“probably will continue to average
considerably higher than in the same
months last year.” Government pay
ments to farmers also have been lar
ger than during the early months of
1936. so that total cash farm income
I —from marketings and government ■
i payments—during May and June is ;
| expected to be higher than during the ;
corresponding months of the previous
year.
Milk production, per cow, another
: report says, rose sharply during Ap
l ril, and total production on May 1
| was only 1 per cent, less than on that'
I date last year. On May 1, pasturesi
| were reported in much better condi- i
j tion than a month earlier, but were I
still below average.
Production of a new electric bulb, I
which gives- 10 per cent, more light
| without using any more current, was
reported recently. The new lamp is;
made with a shortened, extra-coiledl
tungsten filament in a gas-filled bulb.
The Georgia Forestry association
i held its annual meeting in Athens |
I last week as guest of the University
>of Georgia School of Forestry, of 1
which G. T. Marckworth is director,
interesting talks were made by E. W.
Tinker, of the U. S. forest service;
Dr. T. S. Buie, of the soil conserva
tion service, and Walter S. Brown,
acting director of the state extension
service.
