SWEET POTATOES
Publication of a new bulletin, ,
“Growing and Marketing Georgia
Sweet Potatoes,” was announced
this week by the Agricultural Exten-'
sion Service.
Written by Elmo Ragsdale, Ex-1
tension horticulturist, and L. E. I,
Farmer, Extension marketing spe- .
ialist, the new publication is Ex- j
tension Bulletin No. 482. It deals ,
with good seed, disease and insects, -
seed treatment, varieties, growing ,
plants, fertilization, cultivation, 1
transplanting, harvesting, market- .
ing practices at harvest time, grad
ing and packing, curing and storing, ;
types of curing houses, selling and •
other phases of growing and mar
keting the sweet potato. .
Georgia has led all states for some ,
time in the total production of the ’
sweet potato crop, but a greater •
part of the product has been used j
for local consumption and feed for ;
hogs and other livestock. As stat
ed in the new bulletin, however,
“Georgia producers could well af
ford to give more attention to prac
tices that will give them higher
.yields, higher quality and better
keeping qualities.”
The new sweet potato bulletin is
available to all Georgia farmers and;
can be obtained either from the
county agents or from the Agricul
tural Extension Service in Athens.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1941
HE NOT HIGH MINDED
HUT FEAR
When the great apostle to the
gentiles wrote to the Roman church
“Be not high-minded but fear,” he
was not speaking of anything spe
cific but as regards their general
appreciation of God’s dealing with
the gentile people in the matter of
salvation to both Jew and Gentile.
In the time of. immediately after
and because of, the last World War
much fear and fanaticism was
spoken and written respecting
Christ’s return to earth. People in
general are so perplexed about the
seeming prosperity of Hitler that
they are again moved with fear,
it prim a facie evidence to the
sinful and deceitfulness of man that
they get uneasy when thev think
they are about to be pun nsbed?
That is not the attitude of the
Christian in experience or bible
teaching. We do not think of being
prepared as we take out fire insur
ance or take a serum against dis
ease. although this is the manner in
which it is presented from many
pulpits. The meaning, to the He
brew, of the “Amen” was the one
’vny-a “true” and it follows “Surely
I come ouickly”—then follows the
r>raver: “Even so. come. Lord Jesus.”
The apostle Paul said, “There is laid
up for me a crown of righteous
ness, which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, shall give me at that day;
and not to me only, but also unto
all them that love His appearing”.
A sister was heard to say: “I be
lieve in Christ’s coming and want
him to come—but not this vear: I
have my plans well formulated and
would like to carry them out.” We
might well wonder if that is not the |
thought and attitude of even some
church workers of moral rectitude.
Wh” will we not enter into Chist’s
program with Him? It is His pro-i
gram, not ours. Amen.

NEW! “BACTERIOSTATIC”
FEMININE
HYGIENE
now finding great favor
among women...
Many doctors recommend regular use
of douches as a precautionary meas
ure for women who want to be clean,
dalnty-for women troubled by offend
ing odor or discharge.
Some products may be harmful to
delicate tissues. But not Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Sanative Wash! Pinkham’s
Sanative Wash is gaining great favor
because it’s NOT a harmful germicide.
Instead—it’s a mighty effective “bac
teriostatic” (the modern trend). It not
only discourages bacterial growth and
infection but thoroughly cleanses, deo
dorises. Very soothing-relieves minor
irritations and discharge and has a
tonic effect on delicate membranes.
Inexpensive! All druggists.
