CIRCULATE IN BEST SECTION OF NORTH GEORGIA. VOL. 53; NO. 17 NEWS AT A GLANCE ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS IN GEORGIA ATLANTA. July 11 (GPS) .—Richard F. Sams Jr., who operates a 250-acre farm ten miles from Atlanta, is showing Georgia the way in diversified farming. Sams, who didn’t intend to be a farmer at all, but studied to be a chemical en gineer, started out with thirty acres and a house. He made some money from cot ton in 1018, but began forthwith to re place cotton with diversified crops. Since 1920. he has grown no cotton at all. di viding his annual crop as follows: Sixty acres of peaches, thirty acres of straw berries, twenty-five acres of collards, fif teen acres of tomatoes, from twenty to twenty-five acres each of spinach and turnips, several acres of broccoli, young berries, raspberries and a few other crops. He has kept nn a “pay-as-you-go” ba sis, expanding as profits came in. He now has nearly 200 of his 250 acres under cultivation, nearly 100 acres irrigated, partly with a pipe system and partly by canals. He employs from fifty to 250 men and women during the spring and sum mer. Ten families live on his farm and there is enough work, even In winter, for ten men. Sams knows, he says, because he has demonstrated it. that a farm can be made to provide ap American stand ard of living for its workmen. Here are the requisites as he lays them down: (1) Cc-opeation and (2) Research. Georgia probably produces no more than half the vegetables sold in her stores and markets —“And yet. paradoxically enough,” Farmer Sams says, “there are so many farmers growing vegetables in Georgia that few of them are making any money. The reason is lack of grading, packaging and distribution. This can be remedied,” he added —and this gentleman farmer should know for he had remedied it on his own farm. Sams twice has serv ed as president of the Vegetable Growers’ Association of America, iff 1924 and 1935. and now is head of the state as sociation. Can’t Afford It: “Rail’oad managers are ambitious to avail themselves of the most approved equipment, which would so reduce their costs as to enable them to make money on the present rates,” declares Edward G. Budd, president of the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing company. “Their earnings at the moment are not sufficient to justify financial people in advancing the money necessary for these improvements,” he added.

The regular third Sunday night sing ing will be at Chelsea Sunday night, July ]6, Everyone invited, With The Churches FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. One of our major problems today is to adjust humanity, which since the days of Adam has moved at a moderate speed. ‘ this age of speed. To place man, whose j<nnal gate is from 3-5 miles per hour in the midst of a civilization which runs at the rate of sixty miles per hour, can- . not but have its effect on his nervous i system. Yet in one generation, this has ; been done. The increase of patients in 1 * ispitals and asylums bears witness that the human system speeded up to this ab- ■ rmal gait must either give way or an ( i effective method of relaxation must be iind. One fact is manifest: the age of speed n travel, business, and recreation is here to stay. If then, the human race is to remain sane, some way of counteracting le effects of our high tension life must found. If we go to the source where we find le solution to all our problems,' the eter il Scriptures, we will find the way of i >lth and sanity. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, is not merely a com mandment to please the God of the He rews. It is a wise provision of a bene ficent God for the health and comfort oi >. s people. This blessing has been carried >ver into Christianity as the Lord's day, he first day of the week. One-seventh -f Life belongs to the Lord in the ob servance of His day. In the Scriptures, w see that this day is to be spent in r< taxation and worship. Man is geared up to work six days and to rest the seventh. Scientific tests show that the man who does this will accom plish more and better work in a year than a man who works seven days a week. Surely the Scriptural way of observing *he Lord’s day is more pleasing to God than the current practice in high-stung, nerve-strained America, which has made > pagan holiday out of the Christian , Holy day. Relaxation must be practiced or vital forces will be expended and nerve will snap. Many otherwise good people are hortening their lives and displeasing God y their failure to use the day of rest the Scriptures teach. There are two legitimate ways in which .ve may use the Lord’s day. The first is n as complete relaxation as possible. II hould be observed that this will not he 'mind in long, tiresome trips, baseball games or the movies on Sunday after- on. A forgetting of the activities of the ■ek and a change of all activity is the remedy. The other legitimate activity of the Lord's day is Worship. This is an essen- , tial. It is one of the commands of the Indestructible Word. Worship is an in tegral part of rest. It is also necessary to please God. There is no atmosphere. 1 more conducive to genuine rest than that which is engendered in the gathering of the Saints to worship. If we go. not to r see the other saints, not to criticize, not for personal motives, but to join in pray er. praise and to hear a message from the Bible: if shutting all other things from our hearts, we wait on God He will hear uj. have regard to our prayers 1 and touch our souls with rest. Is it not better to begin and to end the • day in worship and to retire rested than to spend it in search of pleasure and rei- l At the King’s right stands Grover Whalen, president of the Fair cor poration and official host to their majesties during their visit to the expo sition.

If we spend the Lord's day in His way, we will be recreated and fitted to face the work of "the following week. With these self-evident truths in mind and realizing that in so doing it is pleasing God, the First Baptist church in- • ites Christians everywhere to use the Lord’s day, not longer as a holiday to be celebrated like the Fourth of July, but as a day of rest and worship. The church also invites the public to attend worship on the coming Lord’s day in the following services. Sunday* school at 9:45 a.m.; H. M., Woods, superintendent.

STATE, COUNTY AND LOCAL HAPPENINGS. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN FRONT YARD FIRST, ADVISES VAN LOON “The only way in which we can ever hope to bring about a happier state of hu man affairs is by doing so first of all within our own bailiwick,” Hendrik Wil lem van Loon, genial philosopher-his torian. cautions would-be reformers in the current Rotarian Magazine. “Our present world is nothing to be proud of." he admits, “and is sadly in need of a complete overhauling.” But v best to change this gloomy picture? In answering this question, Van Loon asks that be not be suspected of any un due optimism. “Both by nature and by raining." he explains. “I am rather a fol lower of the doctrine which holds out mighty small hope for the future of the human race. But if I am entirely hon est with myself, then I must confess that, given just one percent of one percent of i chance, the average man is not quite so bad as we sometime depict him in all his sorrowful cussedness and greed. And I have d.s overed that on the whole he will function best of all if we appeal to his sense of duty as a, good neighbor rather than if we go after him with acts of congress or orders issued by the board of selectmen. “These are necessary, too. for the more serious aspects of life, and heaven forbid that we should try (for the next few million years at least) to do without the policemen on the beat. But for all or dinary. everyday efforts to make our world a little pleasanter and a little more livable. I wonk! on the whole prefer to rely upon individual action rather than upon any sort of mass action. “If" he continues, “you want to re duce the particular point of view in which I see some hope to a short and eloquent sentence which might well be come a world-wide slogan, suppose I give it to you : “If each of us will take care of his own particular front yard, then we shall have a pleasant village in which to live; and a world full of pleasant villages would, I think, be a pretty decent one for most everybody.” Dr. Hays McGaha Moi tes Ttz Summerville Dr. Hays McGaha, a drugless physi cian of Alma, has moved his practice to Summerville and has his offices located temporarily back end of Frazier’s Bar >e; shop. Dr.McGaha will be recalled by many of lis old acquaintances as the missionary .vho was employed in this territory by the lurch and who went to India as a med ical missionary from Alma a few years ago. He has many relatives in Appling and Bacon counties. Dr. McGaha announces that he will do physical culture work in all its advance phases including vapor and mineral baths, adjustings, and the practice of dietics catering especially to those suf fering from chronic disease. While he has had very unusual training in all phases of the drugless field, including both (•hiropractic and osteopathy, Dr. Mc- Gaha frankly states that he does not hold himself out as a “cure-all,” nor does he fail to appreciate the medical man in his Vork. He states that he Tas found there are certain cases which react to the nat ural methods when all else has failed, while in others his work is of little val ue ; that it is his desire at all times to co-operate with the medical men and ren der honest and ethical services to his own patients. Mrs. McGaha and their small son. Billy, will join the doctor in Summer ville shortly. Pastures Should Be Kept Free of Weeds Weeds in pastures compete with desir able pasture grasses and legumes just as weeds in cultivated land compete with row crops, according to Frank A. McAl ! lister,' Jr., technician in the Chattooga ' county work unit of the Coosa River soil I conservation district. Mowing pastures when they begin to ; get weedy will help to control weeds by : preventing the reseeding of anpuals and ' by weakening the perennial weeds through i exhaustion of the root reserves, McAllis ! ter pointed out. In almost every old pasture there are j some areas that have not been grazed where the grass has become tough and unpalatable. Mowing will clip the tough grass and stimulate the development of new. tender growth which will result in | more uniform grazing. It will also tend ; to develop a thick turf, which resists ero- I sion and aids in moisture conservation. Many new pastures seeded this spring contain only a few weeds which can be destroyed by pulling or digging them up. The same method can be used on rough and inaccessible areas. While this is more laborious than mowing, it destroys weeds [ much more thoroughly. Elimination of weeds that compete with desirable pasture plants for food and moisture is one phase of more efficient land use which many farmers overlook, but it is an operation that will pay good returns for the labor involved because of ■ the improved grazing and the development of a more desirable sod from an erosion ppntrol standpoint, Milt $1.50 A YEAR
