IN MEMORY OF
MRS. JOHNNY MORAN
Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither at the
North wind’s breath,
And stars to set; but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine
own, O’ Death.”
Thus our heavenly Father, in
his divine wisdom, chose June
10th, of this year to call from
this world o.ur cherished mem
ber, Mrs. Johnnie Moran. Quietly
and quickly she made her exit,
and yet so triumphantly she
entered and claimed her celestial
reward. Heaven’s gain has indeed
been our loss.
Whereas we, the members of
the Glenwood Baptist Church
feel keenly the loss of this be
loved member, faithful in church
attendance unless providentially
hindered,
Whereas, her quiet humility
and reverent service were an in*
spiration to pastors and members
alike.
Whereas, she e.; ned the high*
est crown of wo-irn as, lovingly
ai.d untiringly, she discharged
the sacred obli; Mi>ns of wifi
hood and motherlnn d;
Therefore, be it resolved by
this Church:
First, that we humbly and
submissively yield to God’s
wisdom in taking this membe r
from our midst; *
Seco >3, that wo extend to her
a inly and friends our sincere
eympithy in their great loss.
Third, that these resolutiops
and expressions of appreciation
be entered in the minutes of the
church; that a copy be sent to
her family, apd also to the
Christian Index for publication.
Lovingly submitted,
Mrs. Mattox Purvis
Mrs. W H. Kent
Mrs J.E Joiner.
US PEOPLE
By G. C. Barnhill
Now that the election is over
all of us have a full staff cf
officia's nominated to serve. A
political contest is always inter*
esting, so many tricks have to be
used. It is kinder like courting,
you never kno ■ you are safe un
til the, I' will, has said. It is a
great system though that we al)
jdn in giving the nominee a
chance to make good.
We must change our way of
living now, instead of seeing how
much shov we can make with
oyj spending, we must see how
Hitle we can spend, then with
the rest buy war bonds. The job
is to slow us up spending. The
banks have b?en all these years
trying to stop overdrafts.

COUNTY AGENT HAS
PLANS FOR BUILDING
PEANUT PICKER
With the almost doubling of
peanut acreage this year, and
the scarcity of peanut-picking
machines and farm labor, many

According to an announcement

tension Service this week, county
agents will be able to help farm
ers with plans for building a
small picker similar to the one
shown here.
Cost of materials for the home
made picker will average $2 to
$2 50. This includes hardware
cloth, poultry netting, nails,
staples, and No. 2 dressed lum
ber. If rough lumber is used, 1”
by 4” material should be satis

SMALL GRAIN AND
LEGUME MIXTURES
PAY^YS AGENT
One way Wheelercounty farm*
era can provide extra winter
grazing, additional hay next
spring, and at the same time con*
serve and add fertility to the
soil, is by growing a mixture of
small grain and winter legumes,
according to County Agent R. P.
Lackie.
These crops give best results
when planted in late September
or early October, he said this
week. The winter legume seed
should be inoculated with com
mercial inoculation, and 200 to
400 pounds of 16 percent super
phosphate and 50 pounds of
muriate of potash, or their equi
valent, should be used per acre if
preceding crops have not been
supplied with fertilizer high in
phosphate and potash.
If a complete fertilizer is de
sired, 200 to 300 pounds of 2-12 6
per acre is suggested.
“When used for grazing, double
or more of the regular-amount of
seed per acre should be used. For
soil improvement, plant a full
seeding of small grains and two
thirds to three-fourths of a f ulj
seeding of winter legumes, 1 ' Mr.
Leckie suggested.
Last year, 300,000 acres of
these combination crops were
planttdin the state, but because
of their many uses, and the need
nitropen and feed, the acreage
should be greatly increased this
fall, the agent concluded.
