FARM NOTES ;
By J. B. BI’TLER
Before leaving for Washington
last week to oppose passage of
the proposed long-range farm
program, H. L. Wingate, presi
dent of the Georgia Farm Bu
reau Federation, issued a state
ment pointing out the dangers
included in the legislation intro
duced in the Senate by Senator
Aiken, of Vermont.
“If this measure becomes law,”
the Farm Bureau leader pointed
out, “it will cost Georgia Farm
ers more than 75 million dollars
a year. This will not only seri
ously affect the economy of farm
people, but will be reflected in
the income of business, industry
and labor in the state.”
The legislation introduced by
the Vermont solon and recom
mended by the Senate Agricul
tural Committee reduces the i

Home Economics Department
Pride of Local School
By HELEN TOLES
As an example of the fine work |
being done at the Summerville,
Home Economics Department, j
1 six students prepared and serv- |
jed a delicious buffet luncheon
iat noon Thursday as their final!
j examination. Invited to this
j luncheon were school officials'
: and business 1 leaders in the com- |
m unity.
The girls, Barbara Bridgeman,
Doris McGraw, Kathryn Nelson
Bryant, Bobby Cothran, Pauline
Pa'lmour and Nancy Smith, were'
under the supervision of Mrs ;
Harry McGinnis, who teaches.
. approximately 100 high school
:girls home economics at the;
i Summerville High School.
The Home Economics Depart- [
support price of basic commodi-,
' ties from 90 per cent of parity to
.75 per cent, Mr. Wingate said.
“The price of peanuts will be re
liduced approximately S7O per ton,
, and at the same time the cotton
■ farmers will suffer a loss of $25
to S3O per bale under the pro
’j posed parity included in the
: measure.”
As an illustration, the GFBF
executive said the Aiken bill “will
reduce the income of farm peo
ple in Wilcox County $643,100 on
peanuts and cotton, while farm
’ ers of Screven County will suffer
! a loss of more than $750,000 on
these two commodities.” Other j
counties in the state will be pen- I
alized proportionately, he said i
by figuring a loss of approxi- ■
rnately S7O per ton on peanuts
i and $25 to S3O per bale on cot
j ton.”
Mr. Wingate was called back to ■
the nation’s capitol by Senator
Russell, who is leading the fight
against the Aiken measure in
I the Senate, and by members of
i the delegation in the Lower
I House who will oppose the legis
| lation if it reaches that cham
j ber.
Our hopes, Mr. Wingate said,
; “are to prolong the fight on the
; present long-range farm pro
i gram to a point that the Con
; gress will realize they cannot get
j it through and then throw our
I full support behind the exten
' sion of the present program for
not less than two years.” The
farm program now in effect
places a floor under the price of
j basic commodities at 90 per cent
; of parity with a guarantee of i,
92% per cen t on cotton.
“The only hope we have In ]
fighting the measure designed to j
cripple agriculture,” he said, “is
to strengthen our organization toI;
a point where the membership,
represents a majority of the h
farmers in every county in Geor- ]
gia. We can win this fight,” Mr.
Wingate added, “and save the, i
homes and farms of our people, ,
but we must be realistic and rec- . ]
oanize the fact that our only am- : ■
munition is the membership of' ■
our own organization.” | ,
The Farm Bureau leader em- j<
phasized the fact mat “we must ■;
have a sound economy in this
nation, and I know of no better
plan than to place a floor price
under all agricultural commodi-|
ties at a point where the farmer
will realize a fair profit on the
investment he must make in the
preparation of the land, the cost
| of fertilizer, labor, and other ex- ■
! penses included in the cultiva-,
I tion. harvesting and processing ■
I of his commodities.
Mr. Wingate is scheduled to |
return to Georgia Wednesday or ;
Thursday of this week, it was j
announced from GFBF head
quarters in Macon.
You Are Invited to
Trion Church of
Christ
to heor W. A. BLACK, of
Alabama City, Ala., in a
series of Gospel sermons,
beginning at 11 a.m. Sun
day, June 6. Services will
be held at 7:30 o'clock
ieach evening.

i ment has three rooms in whicn
jto carry on their work. The
kitchen, in which there are six |
separate kitchen units, is one of |
i the most modern and best equip
peel in this section of Georgia.,
The reception room is beautiful- i
ly furnished with a charming,
dining suite and lovely sofa.
Lamps and handsome tables.
i complete the scene in this room. ;
There also is a tiny dressing ;
room, and a linen storage room, i
in which the rollaway bed and .
linens are stored. Lessons in•
home nursing are taught by the
use of the rollaway bed, and stu
dents are taught the proper
j method of caring for persons
i confined to bed.
In the sewing room one can
see the beautiful work done by
the industrious group.
Under the direction of Miss
: Willie Lee Powell, the eighth
■ grade girls are taught the fun
, damentals of sewing and several
. have completed garments of
i clothing. All these girls are in
structed in making something
'' out of the things one has. Many
used sacks in making aprons,
pillow cases and dish clothes.
They also are taught to embroid
ery.
The more advanced girls in
the higher grades, under the su
pervision of Mrs. McGinnis, have
completed such garments as
three-piece suits, jackets, fancy
: dresses, and baby clothes. Many
j crochet and embroider pillow
| cases, while some choose to work
j on delicate clothing for babies.
One student made a baby dress
from a sugar sack, and the en
tire garment cost less than five
■ cents. Another took two old out
grown skirts, and combined them
into a handsome, light-weight
jacket. Still another made a ba
sic black dress, the outstanding I
feature of which were the but-{
tons on the double-breast jack- ;
et, and she purchased several
sets of buttons which change
’ the entire appearance of the en
semble.
Charts and miniature exam
ples of work are placed on the
blackboards illustrating methods
and various ways sewing can be
done.
The girls are taught proper
baby care, good grooming, color
types, clothes types and all the
other phases of life important
to any home maker.
Each student chooses a proj
ject for the year, and it may be
!on clothing, food or any other
’line she desires.
One of the most interesting
projects at tbe Summerville
Home Economics department is
that of Bobby Scoggins, who
; renovated her room from top to
bottom.
The walls and ceiling have
been painted a light shade, and
gay curtains, dressing table and
bedspread, with blue featured,
add the necessary touch. Her
single bed is maple, and the lin
oleum rug is of corresponding
color, In varying depths of tan
and brown. A straight-back
chair has been painted to match
) the maple bed, and a gay cover,
i matching the bedspread and
I curtains brightens it up.
In addition to being an artistic
interior decorator, Bobbie also is
lan expert seamstress, having
; completed several dresses, blous
es and a three-piece suit.

What to do for woman’s oldest
problem, functional monthly pain?
Many a girl and woman has found
the answer in Cardui’s 2-way help.
You see, Cardui may make things
lots easier for you in either of two
ways: (1) started 3 days before
“your time” and taken as directed
on the label, it should help relieve
functional periodic pain; (2) taken
throughout the month, like a tonic,
it should improve your appetite, aid
digestion, and thus help build up
resistance for the trying days in
come. Cardui is scientifically pre
pared and scientifically tested. If
you suffer “at those certain times",
get Cardui tod?"
