gineering to put this railroad in.
We enter another tunnel, we ride
and ride after a long time, we are
through and in the City of Zurich via
this very efficient electric train we
have been traveling on since we left
the border.
This is one place and the only
place I had hotel reservations so
went to the fancy Glockenhof right
in center of things.
I wish I could in the space describe
many of the sights to be seen here.
If you will go with me as we
stroll along one of the main streets,
window shopping at leisure where
there is such difference in the cus
toms of countries how they display
their goods. We have in mind to go
to the pier where the sight seeing
boats come in as well as the pas
senger boats that traffic on regular
schedules up and down the great
“Zurich Sea” they call it. We ar
rive, all around us are the snow
capped mountains and they are so
pretty. We go aboard and spend
half a day in romantic Switzerland.
We come back and notice as we
stroll along the lake street, the flow
ers, so many flowers of all kinds,
such care, the streets are so clean,
the people so neat, the care-takers,
the workers, they smile and seem to
be happy, we stop and ask the ques
tion “Why are the faces so much
brighter than the people of Ger-1
many, France, Belgium, Holland, |
Austria and England”, then we real
ize that Switzerland has not had a
war in 500 years.
We are a bit hungry so coming to
the large street bridge across the
river coming into Zurich sea, we
noitce an island about 1 1/2 apres in
size out in this river that is covered
with flowers and hundreds of tables,
all colors, chairs of all colors and it
is a very large open air case. We
go in find a good place, order a good
meal, then we look around; out in
front of us is this beautiful lake of
water, boats of al colors. There goes
by us a young man and his best girl
in a canoe, here are others, look
there are the white swans so grace
ful as they move between the boats
with their heads so high.
It is twilight, we look toward Italy,
the sun is kissing the Alps good
night as they shine like mighty dia
monds. We look to our right is an
old man and his wife so happy. To
our left the romance of youth, in
front lovers telling the old old story.
I realize this is no place for a wi
dower, all alone, but happy with
them.
If you can go to Switzerland be
sure to take a real sweetheart —you
will need one. If you don’t have

How Much Does God
Get?
BY J. SEABORN WINN
Milner, Ga.
How much does God get of our
time?
Very little of our days,
Part of Sunday, Wednesday night, ,
The rest used for our selfish ways! ;
How much does God get of our gold? I
Not much for Him, we keep the best,'
Afraid that we may starve to death,
For God the change, for us the rest! I
How much of talent do we give? I
Our very best in deed and word, |
Os Him bear witness, for Him live, :
And thus win others to the Lord?

Eligible Voters
in Tobacco
Referendum July 19
Growers of flue-cured tobacco of
Wheeler County who are eligible to
vote in the referendum on July 19,
on marketing quotas have been list
| ed by the County PMA Committee.
The lists are open for inspection in
the County Office at Alamo.
The referendum has been called in
। compliance with the Agricultural
Adjustment Act of 1938. The Act
provides for quotas on flue-cured
tobacco which will be made effec
tive if approved by at least two
thirds of the growers voting in the
referendum.
“The voters,” R. D. Thomas said,
: “will cast ballots on three propos
; als: (1) in favor of the quotas for
I three years, 1953, 1954, and 1955;
. (2) in favor of the quotas for one
year, 1953, but opposed to quotas
for three years; or (3) opposed to
any quotas.
Any person who has an interest in
the 1952 crop of flue-cured tobacco
as owner, tenant, or share cropper is
: eligible to vote in the referendum,
but no person may cast more than
one vote even though he may be
engaged in producing flue-cured to
bacco in two or more communities,
counties, of States.
Purposes of the marketing quotas
। is to provide growers with a method
,of adjusting supply to demand and
■to help them obtain fair prices for
the tobacco they produce.
A favorable vote on marketing
: quotas also means that price support
: loans will be available to growers
lat 90 percent of parity on the 1953
crop. If more than one-third of the
1 growers voting in the referendum
are opposed to quotas, no price sup
i port will be available on the 1953
i crop. Notwithstanding the outcome
■of the referendum, however, loans
I will be available at 90 percent of
l parity on the 1952 crop as a protec-
I tion to farmers.

Farm Bureau
News Column
The Georgia Farm Bureau Fede
ration reports that it still isn’t defi
nite that the Abernathy cotton sup
port price bill will pass this session
of the Senate. Passage for this year
depends upon whether Congress ad
journs or merely has a recess. The
Bill, in effect would raise support
price by some 3 1/2 cents per pound
by lowering the basis for cotton
parity from middling 7/8 to low
middling 7/8 for the 1952 crop.
Other action last week saw House
passage of the FB backed Cooly
Bill. The Bill, a companion bill to
the Russell-Young Bill, would ex
tend 90/, pairty for an additional
two years. Under the old Act the
90% parity would continue through
1952.
All District Farm Bureau Queen
and Talent Elimination Meets have
been completed. Reports from the
State FB office is that the competi
! tion was of the keenest yet with a
। total of 60 rural counties competing
for District Queen. Thirty-five en
tries were made in the talent find.
District Winners will compete in the
Fall at the State FB convention.
State winner will be crowned State
Farm Bureau Queen for 1952, and
will reign over the Queen’s Ball and
the State Convention. First place
Talent winner will receive SIOO.OO
with $50.00 going to second place
winner.
Georgia Farm Bureau officials last
week objected to certain phases of
the 1952 peanut program. In a joint
meeting of PMA, USDA officials
and peanut growers from Alabama,
Georgia, and Florida, FB leaders ob
jected to the “breaking point which
had been set at 9% (moisture). The
program as written prevents pea
nuts with over 9% moisture from
going into loan program.
FB officials said, “the breaking
point should be set at no lower than
10% in keeping with the breaking
point as set for Virginia and North
Carolina growers.” Later* a tele
gram to FB officials from Congress
man Tic Forrester, 3rd District last
Friday) said, “Situation looks good
for obtaining 10% breaking point.”
Farm Bureau leaders at the same
time took the lead in urging that
more even and systematic method be
devised in deducting loss due to
damaged kernels. At the present, the
program calls for a deduct of 3.40
for 2%, 6.80 for 3%, 13.60 for 4%,
and $120.00 for 8%. FB officials feel
that the deduct per point of damage
should be more in line and more
comparable in scale to deducts of
2 and 3%, damaged nut.
Well, keep listening til next week, i
TIMBER VALUES
Georgia’s timber crop is the most
stable crop we have. You don’t
hear of crop failure with timber;
that is, unless it is destroyed by fire.
Too, timber can be harvested at the
convenience of the owner or can be |
held off the market until prices are I
favorable.
When planning walkways and i
driveways at your home, avoid un-1
necessary curves and bends, land-1
scape specialists suggest. An ex-1
ception to this would be a very steep
grade, an extremely long distance
or when there is a tree or some other ■
object in the way.
Zan Joyce Wins
Merit Award In
Forestry Contest
Zan Joyce of Wheeler County won.
a merit award June 20 in 4-H For
estry competition at the Sounth Cen
tral District Achievement meeting
in Tifton for her demonstration on
planting pines.
Zan’s demonstration was part of
the 4-H Forestry program in co
operation with the Georgia Agri
cultural Extension Service which is
sponsored in Georgia by the South
ern Bell Telephone Company.
This was the first time that Zan
has had a demonstration at the Dis
trict Achievement meeting.
The 14 year-old is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Raleigh Joyce. They
live on a 650-acre farm where she
has a forestry project involving tree
planting and fire protection.
Zan attends the Shiloh school
where she is in the 10th grade. She
belongs to the Shiloh 4-H club and
holds office as treasurer of the
County Council and program chair
man.
The forestry enthusiast has con
ducted two demonstrations in her
home county. She also carries 4-H
projects in home industries, canning
and clothing.
Zan said that forestry' has a big
future in Georgia. She hopes to con
tinue in this field because planting
of pine trees is proving a valuable
money-maker.
She was accompanied to the meet
ing by Miss Esther Godbee, Home
Demonstration Agent, who said that
65 boys and girls had forestry proj
ects this year involving 555 acres.
The 4-H Forestry program is grow
ing in Georgia. The District win
ners will go to Atlanta this fall to
compete for state awards and the
two state winners will then com
pete for National honors in Chica
go, all under the Southern Bell spon
sorship. Last year Georgia had a
national winner.
Firor Suggests
Control Os Peach
Tree Borer Now
The insect that possible does more
damage to peach trees than any
other is scheduled to make its ap
pearance in Georgia orchards in
July.
This insect, the peach tree borer,
lays eggs on tree trunks, lower
branches, and on trash around trees.
George H. Firor, Agricultural Ex
tension Service horticulturist said
today that one or more of the new
insecticides such as DDT and Para
thion have given good results in con
trolling this pest. He suggested
spraying the lower portion of the
tree with 50 percent wettable DDT
powder or a combination of DDT
with 15 percent wettable Parathion
powder. A satisfactory formula, ac
cording to Firor, is 8 pounds of 50
percent wettable DDT powder, 2 to
3 pounds of 15 percent wettable
Parathion powder and 100 gallons of
water. If only one insecticide is to
be used, Firor suggests that this one
should be DDT.
