Squibs And Titbits
By A COUNTRY PARSON
When you dont’ know which way
to turn—don’t turn.
If you reach up to God as far as
you can He will reach down the
rest of the way.
When you hear a woman criticize
her husband’s judgment, just take
another look at the one he married.
Christ is not against men making
money but against money making
men.
There may be some substitute for
kindness but so far no one has ever
discovered it.
One who never enjoys being alone
will never be able to make others
enjoy his company.
Honesty is not only the “best pol
icy” but it is the only way to show
policy.
It may be the hills which are
hardest to climb, will give the ex
perience the most sublime.
It is better to say a good thing
about a bad man than to say a bad
thing about a good man.
Some people are going to be good
if they have to be good for nothing.
What a man comes from doesn’t
matter much—it is what he comes
to that shames the human race.
You can afford to be defeated,
ridiculed, denounced and persecuted
but you can’t afford to be wrong.
He who finds nothing of heaven
on earth would find nothing but
earth in heaven.
LYERLY. GA., JULY 11, 1941

FARM BRIEFS
By JACK WOOTEN, Extension
Editor.
FARM WEEK ANNOUNCED
Georgia’s farm folk will lay aside
agricultural activities during the
second week in August to attend
Farm and Home Week at the Uni
versity of Georgia. Dean Paul W.
Chapman, of the College of Agri
culture, said in announcing the
dates, that plans are now being for
mulated for the week's stay in
Athens. He said excellent pro
grams are being arranged for the
men folk, farm women, and the 4-H
club members.
DISEASE-FREE CHICKS
Farm poultrymen have been as
sured by the nation’s breeders and
hatcherymen, cooperating under the
National Poultry Improvement
Plan, that the chicks they buy will
be more and more f\?e from pullo
rum disease, says Arthur Gannon,
Extension poultryman. The NPIP
voted that beginning this fall reac
tors in U. S'. Jullorum-Tested flocks
must be less than 9 per cent. The
number of reactors allowed decreas
es 1 per cent each year until 1945-
46, when only flocks with less than
5 per cent reactors will be recog
nized. In addition, a second class—
U. S. Pullorum-Controlled —was set
up for flocks with less than 2 per
cent reactors.
CASH INCOME RISES
Total cash income from farm
marketings including government
payments in Georgia from January
through March this year was six
million dollars greater than for the
same period in 1940. Cash income
from livestock and livestock prod
ucts was up three million dollars,
crops up two million and govern- ■
ment payments up one million dol-|
lars from the same period last year.
BETTER-GINNED COTTON
A program to reduce the amount
of rough-ginned cotton turned out
in Georgia is again underway.
Rough-ginned cotton costs farmers
of this state more than one-half
million dollars annually. The com
mittee directing the program is
known as the “Georgia State-Wide
Program for Better Ginned Cotton.”
It is made up of representatives,
from every organization interested
in cotton, including growers, gin
ners, manufacturers and govern
mental agencies.
NEW BULLETIN ISSUED
A new bulletin supplying inform
ation on electric water systems for
the farm and suggesting ways to
remove much of the drudgery in
carrying water for home uses is
available from the Agricultural Ex
tension Service. Written by J. L.
Calhoun, Extension rural electrifi
cation specialist, and J. C. Oglesbee,
Jr., Extension agricultural engineer,
the 32-page publication is well il
lustrated and contains detailed in
formation on planning the water
system, pumps to select, installa
tion and maintenance and service
of the system.
FARM INCOME RISES
Cash income from farm market
ings and government payments in
May amounted to 773 million dol
lars compared with the revised esti
mate of 704 million dollars in April
and with 620 million dollars in May,
1940. Income from farm market
ings increased more than seasonal
ly from April to May and income
from both crops and livestock and
livestock products was higher than
in May last year. Both marketings
and prices of livestock and live
stock products were higher than a
year earlier, and sharp increases in
income were indicated for all groups
of commodities.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1941
PERTINENT FACTS
(By Dr. Gus W. Dyer, for 30 years
Professor of Economics, Vander
bilt University, Nashville, Tenn.)
THE NATIONAL INCOME
FALLACY
Much is said of the increase in
our national income, and many,
doubtless, are under a hallucination
that this increase in the national
income is proof of a great increase
in national prosperity.
This so-called national income is
made up of the salaries, wages,
rents, profits of everybody who re
ceive any sort of income. It in
cludes the incomes of gamblers,
racketeers, gangsters, everybody.
The idea of taking the increase sf
income thus made up as proof of
increased prosperity would seem to,
be novel in the extreme. An in
crease in income that is the pro
duct of greater efficiency in the ac
tivities of those engaged in con
structive, productive work does in
dicate an increase in national pros
perity. But an increase in income
that is due largely, if not chiefly, to
giving away billions of dollars, bor
rowed on the credit of the present
and future generations, and due
largely to billions spent for activi-:
ties that will never bring back one
dollar in productive wealth, is real
ly not income at all. It is not an
asset but a liability. It does not in
dicate national industrial prosperi
ty, but the reverse.
If a farmer and two sons earn an
annual income of a thousand dol
lars each by productive work, should
decide to double their income and
thereby increase their spending
power 100 per cent, by placing a
heavy mortgage on their farm, no
body but a fool would interpret this
to mean that these farmers had
gotten on the road to greater pros
perity. Such an increase in income
means bankruptcy, not prosperity.
No group can repudiate natural
forces and natural laws, reason and
common sense, and get away with
it.
IN MEMORY
In memory of our mother, Mrs.
Martha Lenora McConkey, age 69,
who passed away one year ago to
day, July 12, 1940, near Lyerly.
There’s a place vacant in our
home; left by one we loved so dear.
How we miss you, dear mother, how
we long to see your face. But we
hope and pray someday to see you
in that grand and glorious place.
As we look into the family group,
there you are standing in your
place. She is gone but not forgot
ten, never will her memory fade;
great thoughts will ever linger
around the grave where she is laid.
A precious one from us is gone;
a voice we love is stilled; we see
her grace and beauty in every
swaying flower. She had been so
faithful, to grieve for her is a sin.
She bravely fought her battle and
smiled until the end.
So why can’t we be like her, and
stand this earthly test, and try to
meet her yonder when our work on
earth is done? This parting here
has grieved us; to bear it now we
must, so goodbye, dear mother—we
hope to meet you there.
O, may they spirit guide our feet
in way of righteousness; make eve
ry path of duty straight and plain
before our face.
(Written by her daughter, Tezzie
Lou McConkey.)

BREEDING BEEF HEIFERS
It is not advisable, says R. E. Da-i
vis, Extension beef cattle and sheep:
specialist, to breed heifers before
they are 15 to 18 months of age.
This will allow them to drop their
first calf at from 24 to 27 months
old or when they have reached ma
turity.
AWILDLIIt
Balitmore Pig Hunt
of a great city? Sounds silly! But
that’s what dozens of passersby,
railroad officials and motorists did
recently—went on a pig hunt in
the heart of Baltimore.
A railroad wreck liberated 845 lit
tle pigs, big pigs and medium-sized
pigs. Reports are that the hunters
found pigs in cellars, automobiles,
streets and alleys. Final count was:
48 pigs killed, 351 recaptured, bal
i ance missing.
Baked Bass
Dust fish with salt, pepper and
garlic salt. Fill inside with onion,
celery and green pepper. Put strips
oi salt pork on top and brown in a
hot oven. Cover and cook until ten
der in slow oven about one hour.
Bread dressing can be used if de
sired. AND, boy, is it good!
Spotted Javelina Spotted
Freaks of the wilds are intensely
interesting. Just what is it that
makes one deer out of thousands an
! albino? And what makes a jave
lina do things like walking forth
with very, very unconventional
white spots? There are a few in
stances of albino javclinas being
captured. Now comes the report of
a “spotted” javelina. It was seen
by a cowboy on the Crane Ranch,
nine miles from Pearsall, Texas.
The animal was described as a
white spotted peccary and the cow
boy had not been drinking!
Bass Got Tough Bug
It would be pretty rough on a fel
\ low to bite into a nice, delicious
apple and have it explode in his
face. And I guess it was no bed of!
roses to the bass that insisted on!
making a meal of a lighted Fourth
of July firecracker tossed into the |
I water by a Missouri funloving
| youngster. Results: One less bass
in Missouri!
Luck?
Are you superstitious? Sports
men as a whole are. They depend
on various phases of luck to bring
them results. Indians used to car
ry tokens—“ Medicine,” they called
them—for good luck and protection
against evil spirits. Most of us are
the same thing. I know a sports
man who wouldn’t think of going
hunting or fishing without having
a game-bird feather stuck in his
hat. He tells himself that it is just
useless superstition, yet he’d never
really expect luck unless that fea
ther is there!
Live Worms
You can keep worms alive on an
extended fishing trip by packing
them in clean moss in fruit jars or
tin cans. Just cover the jar open
ing with cheesecloth or burlap to
let the air get in, and keep the
moss moist.
Mr. Doe
| You’ve heard of hens crowing.
: women wearin gmen’s suits, etc.
Well, it seems menfolks have the
same trouble with their weaker sex
in the animal kingdom too. Ant
! lered doe, a freak of nature, are
| killed occasionally in Texas. One
weighing nearly 100 pounds and
having prolonged antlers was shot
by a San Antonio hunter in the Hill
Country last season. He had the
head mounted.
Whattabucket!
Recently I tried to haul five doz
en minnows twenty miles. It didn’t
work! And then I said: “%&*!$ —
if I could only find a bucket that
I would keep minnows alive!”
I think I’ve found it. It’s about
a three-purpose affair, not only,
keeping your minnows alive but
also acts as an ice box for cold!
drinks, food and to bring your f,sh
back in. The “refrigerator” is on
' top and the ice in it keeps them!
alive all day on the warmest days.
