FARM BRIEFS
(By Jack Wooten, Extension Editor.)
NATIONAL 4 H CLUB CAMP
June 12-19 has been set as the date
for the annual national 4-11 club camp to
be held in Washington, D. D., according
to G. V. Cunningham, state club leader.
As in recent years, clubbers from over
the nation will pitch their tents along
the Tidal Basin near the foot of the
Washington Monument. The general
theme of the week's program will be
“What’s Ahead for Rural Youth.” Geor
gia will select two boys and two girls
to attend the camp, choosing them on
the basis of outstanding club work. There
are more than 80,000 4-H club members
in this state.
INCREASE IN LIVE STOCK
The number of live stock on Georgia
farm January of this year compared with
one year ago showed increases for all
classes of animals except mules, which
registered a slight decrease, D. L. Floyd,
agricultural statistician of Georgia, re
ports. Horses gained 6 per cent.; all cat
tle and calves, 4 per cent.; milk cows, 1
per cent.; hogs, 6 per cent.; sheep and
lambs, 6 per cent.; chickens, 5 per cent.,
and (turkeys, 2 per cent. Mules declined
1 per cent. From the standpoint of total
values of all live stock, the comparison
with last year shows a 2 per cent, in
crease—s92,Bl7,ooo against $90,949,000.
ELECTRICITY IN HOMES
Electricity is coming into the farm. It
is estimated that approximately 1,700,000
country homes over the nation received
electric current from central stations in
1939, and a'bout 250.000 had their own
lighting plants. With electricity came
equipment that eased the burden of the
farm woman’s day.. Within the next few
weeks, the rural electrification adminis
tration, in co-operation with the exten
sion service, will conduct eight electrical
farm equipment tours in Georgia, to dem
onstrate the various uses of electric pow
er in the home and on the farm.
MORE PORK USED
The state pork committee’s campaign
to increase pork consumption is meeting
with much success, according to H. M.
Morris, secretary of the committee.
Managers of thirty food stores in Atlanta
report their pork sales have increased
from 10 to 75 per cent., and a drug chain
in the same eity used ten times as much
pork in a week’s period than previously
to serve customers who were co-operating
in Georgia’s “Pork and Peanut Week,”
by calling for pork products. A. H. Jen
nings, of Americus, is chairman of the
state pork committee.
TELL THE TRUTH. GIRLS!
RALEIGH. N. C. —Let this be a warn
ing to you, girls—don’t fib about your
age. Recently, an applicant for old-age
assistance had to admit that she had
fibbed altout her age at the time of her
marriage. The license, issued in 1897.
showed her age as 17 while she claims
she was 34 and only fibbed in order to
conceal her real age from her husband
who was 24.
They look alike—but
ALL insurance policies look very much alike but the
real test is the service that you receive after you have
had a loss, or an accident, and present your claim.
Wise property owners are “company conscious”—
they look into the stability and reputation of the com
pany back of their policies.

Signs of the times in a motor age—these highway markers tell rhe story of a
two-year, 100,000-mile truck test run recently completed by Chevrolet. In
Canada, Mexico and every state of the Union, the truck operated on all types
of highways and under every conceivable weather hazard, setting a new world
mark for sustained and certified automotive operation, under the sanction and
official observation of the American Automobile Association. The unit carried
a 4,590-pound “payload.” An average of 15.1 miles per gallon of fuel was main
tained throughout the 100,000 miles, at an average operating speed of 33.07
miles per hour. Oil mileage was correspondingly high—l,o72 miles per quart.
POWER.
For the first time in the history of the
nation, sales of electric power to consum
ers during 1939 passed the 100 billion kil
owatt hour limit, with seven billion kilo
watt hours to spare. Total energy gen
erated in the United States during the
year reached 123,000,000,000 kilowatt
hours with revenue for the unit dropping
from 2.31 cents in 1938 to 2 :15 cents in
1939.
FACTORY CONSTRUCTION.
New factory construction completed
during 1939 was little higher than in
1938, according to a report issued by the
department of commerce, but -a sharp rise
is expected in 1940 since new construc
tion of this tyi»e begun in 1939, rose 44
per cent, over the 1938 new work.

LESSON ’
TRIUMPH THROUGH SURRENDER.
International Sunday School Lesson for
March 10, 1940.
GOLDEN TEST: "Not as I will,
but as thou wilt.” —Matt. 26:39.
(Lesson Text: Matt. 20:30-5(5.)*
It was probably almost midnight when
Jesus and the eleven remaining disciples
left the Upper Room and went out into
the quiet of the night. Passing through
the city gate, they crossed the brook Kid
ron, climbed the slope of Mount Olivet
and entered the Garden of Gethsemian, a
grove of olive trees, a place of quiet and
beauty where Jesus had evidently fre
quently visited and enjoyed.
On the way to the Garden, Jesus tried
to prepare his beloved followers for the
events of the night, saying that they
would all be offended in him. Peter, with
his customary impetuosity, immediately
questioned such a prophecy concerning
himself. It would probably have been let
ter for him had he* not been so confident
and boastful. However, Jesus then told
Peter that he would that night deny him
three times. Even this repetition failed
to alarm this courageous fisherman, who,
in his blind confidence, -confidently assur
ed Jesus that death itself would not make
him guilty of such an act.
Upon arriving at the Garden of Gethse
mian, Jesus took Peter, James and John
and went into the Garden with the ex
pressed purpose of praying. Leaving these
three disciples, Jesus went alone a little
farther into the Garden, the to face the
agony of his soul, all the while praying
to his Heavenly Father. Isn’t it true that
if Jesus himself felt the need of prayer,
| of talking with his Heavenly Father, how
mu h more do the modern Christians need
to cultivate this source of spiritual
power?
Returning to his disciples, Jesus found
■ them sleeping, utterly unaware of the
great ordeal which their beloved Master
was facing. Three times he called upon
these followers of his, only to find them
asleep. Thus, separated from those who
wore humanly closest to him. he prayed
that the approaching cup might be avert
ed. probably rejnembering how Abraham's
willingness to sacrifice Isaac had been
sufficient without the actual death. It
was not the physical suffering which Je
sus sought to avoid, but the assumption
of sin, involving separation from God.
"BuiickUp" Relief

At length, reconciled to his mission am. t
submissive to the will of God. Jesus wa- 1
ready to meet his fate. Returning to his
sleeping disciples, Jesus said, “Sleep 01
now, and take your rest; behold, the hou
is at hand, ami the Son of man is betray
ed into the hands of sinners.” Then, ap
patently seeing the torches of the ap
proaching band led by Judas, he com
mauds his disciples, "Arise, let us be go
ing: behold, he is at hand that betrayetl.
me.”
The disciples scrambled up and stare<
through the darkness. They recognized
Judas, followed by a crowd of men, some
with swords and some with staves. A:
they stood by, dumbfounded. Judas wen.
straight up to Jesus to kiss jiim, which
was the way he had promised to identify
Jesus to the soldiers. How Judas could
have chosen to sell his Lord, to those wh<
would put him to death, with a Jfiss —the
tenderest token of human affection—i;
almost inconceivable..
Instead of condemning the hypocrisy of
Judas and allowing his holy wrath to ex
press itself in denunciation of such action
by one of his disciples. Jesus merely said,
"Friend, wherefore art thou come?” Im
mediately the soldiers swarmed about and
laid hold of Jesus. At this moment the
stunned disciples seemed to have come t<
life suddenly. Peter caught up a sword
and struck a mighty blow at Malehus, the
servant of the high priest, cutting off his
ear.
Jesus rebuked this impulsive action on
the part of Peter. Then he touched the
ear of the wounded man and healed it.
Imagine it. Healing the injury of one who
had come to arrest him —his last healing
miracle and an enduring monument to
"he foregiveness and magnanimity of our
Lord.
When the disciples realized what was
happening, terror struck into their hearts
and they forsook Jesus and fled. The mob
seized Jesus, bound him as if he were a
dangerous criminal, and led him bark into
’he city of Jerusalem, to be tried and
condemned to death.
