THEY SAY
By HUBERT DODD.
“Albert Seheweitzer is a medical mis
sionary in Equatorial Africa and a writ
er of unusual ability. Everybody knows
of his early achievements in music, phi
losophy and theology, and that after
gaining international fame in these fields,
he began the study of medicine in prep
earation to answer a call to go to Africa
as a medical missionary.
A biographer of Schweitzer names
three profound influences which have af
fected his life: First, a sense of unde
served good fortune; second, a sense of
responsibility for this privilege; and
third, a sympathy with pain which ex
ists in the world.
How different would the course of our
Jives be if we all had. in addition to our
Other “senses,” these three senses; and
how much better the world would fare
at our hands I
But, alas, unlike Schweitzer, most peo
ple feel that they are not getting what
they deserve. They spend most of their
time grumbling and complaining: and oc
casionally they make a “snatch” to get
something for as little nothing as possi
ble. They are not happy themselves and
they make nobody else happy.
It doesn’t do much good just to say
that we are happy with our good for
tune ; but when we feel the responsibility
for making somebody else happy because
we are happy, immediately the smiles
begin to spread abroad.
And. oh. the pain that exists in the
world ! The course of our lives will be
determined very largely by our reaction
toward it. Are we sympathetic or callous
toward it? The center of Schweitzer’s
philosophy seems to be “Reverence for
Life.” His philosophy was crystalized one
day when on a cruise up a tropical
stream his boat bumped into an alliga?
tor resting peacefully in the warm wa
ter. At the cry of pain in the alligator,
there moved in Seheweitzer the spirit of
sympathy for the creature he had hurt.
Take these three “senses” which Al
bert Schweitzer has and think about them
often; and now and then ask yourself,
“How much ‘sense’ do I have?”

FARM BRIEFS
By WHITNEY THARIN,
Six Tift county farmers and a Tifton
packing* house (Armour and Company)
have agreed to co-operate in an unusual
type of- demonstration to show farmers
in that area that the sanitation plan and
a year-around grazing system make up
the most profitable method of producing
hogs. The six farmers are going to start
producing hogs under this proven meth
od. Careful cost of production records
will be kept. Next spring, the packing
house is going to slaughter the hogs and
put them on public exhibition. Farmers
will be invited to inspect the parasite
free cascasses and to study the cost rec
ords. The demonstration was arranged
by County Agent C. B. Culpepper, of
Tifton, and Charles E. Bell, Jr., exten
sion swine specialist.
__________.
The purchase of 2,466 acres of land in
North Georgia and Alabama for the Chat
toochee national forest has been approv
ed by the national forest reservation
commission. This land, valuable mainly
for its forest crops, will cost approxi
mately $10,500. A total of 90,468 acres,
including the Georgia and Alabama al
lotments. in the Appalachian region has
been approved by the commission. The
total purchase for the nation will amount
to 243,926 acres in twenty-four states
and Puerto Rico.
Georgia farmers who market flue-cur
ed tobacco on the Adel, Nashville and
Douglas markets have voted overwhelm
ingly in favor of government inspection
of their crops this season. Tobacco in
spection and market, news reports are
supplied by the bureau of agricultural
economics, under authority of the tobac
co inspection act of 1935. Under the in
spection program, tobacco growers will
have the benefit of having their tobacco
officially inspected and the grade of each
lot certified before it is sold.
The Georgia crop reporting service ad
vises that most general field crops in
Georgia were making fair to satisfactory
progress on June 1 despite unfavorable
conditions over much of last month. Ger
mination and growth had been retarded
somewhat during the first three weeks
in May by unseasonably cool weather, to
gether with too much rain during the
latter part of the month in the northern
part of the state. Some complaints were
received of grassy fields in the latter
area and of rain damage to ripe grain
still in the fields. Poor stands of peanuts
and some of the other crops are reported
in parts of southern territory due to the
cool weather already mentioned. A small
er peach crop than was anticipated ear
lier in the season is now being harvested.
INDEPENDENCE DAY.
(The Fourth of July)
Let us devote this natal day of joy
To those who fell as martyrs to destroy
Oppression’s power.
In veneration let us consecrate
The heroes who first launched our ship
of state;
Who stormed the fort, threw open wide
the gate,
To Freedom’s tower.
And let us pause and meditate a while
Beside their graves; let nothing base
beguile
Our gratitude.
Not while our fathers’ blood runs in our
veins,
Nor while one trace of liberty remains,
Shall we forget, no matter what profanes
The interlude.
They who gave up their lives defending
right,
Chose death to know the thrill of ending
night,
Belong to fame.
Let what they lived and died for be our
stand ;
Together let us guard our native land
Against the despot's heel, the traitor's
hand,
Or bow in shame.
