Weather Takes Toll
By David H. Williams
The value of principal crops
produced in Georgia last year was
; $390,500,000. While that is a size
■ able chunk of money, it neverthe
] less is 16 percent—or $76 million
I —below the record 1967 crop
I value of $466,587,000.
I As the State Crop Reporting
! Service pointed out, most of the
decrease was due to the low
yields resulting from unfavorable
weather during the growing sea
]son. A shortage of moisture re
;duced per acre yields of corn by 1
118 bushels, soybeans by 9 bush- I
I els. cotton by 86 pounds, peanuts
■by 160 pounds and tobacco by
i 198 pounds.
j Georgia’s peanut crop was the
I most important in value, with a 1
[total of $109,320,000. Next in line
‘ was tobacco, with a value of $76,- [
856,000. Corn ranked third ($66,- I
348,000) and cotton was fourth
$40,562,000). The value of the
(soybean crop—sl7,346,ooo—was al
I little more than half the 1967 to- I
I tai, due primarily to poor weath-I
ler and low yields.
We have commented often a- :
j bout how the weather makes I
! farming a hazardous occupation.
But fortunately for us who de
pend on “tillers of the soil” for
food and fiber, there are those
willing to go out there and try
j it again. We join them in hoping
| that 1969. weatherwise, will be a
I much better year.
(Card Os Thanks
I would like to express my ap
preciation to all of those who
were so thoughtful of me while
I was in the hospital and after
my return home. The visits, cards
and gifts were greatly appreci
ated.

Club Meets Jan. 7
The Cloverleaf 4-H Club of the
Wheeler County Training School
was held on January 7. The pres
iident presided over the meeting
j and the officers were in charge
of the program. We enjoyed the

Ways we can make 4-H more
interesting are:
(1) Giving demonstrations and
talks
| (2) Help other 4-H Club mem
bers
(3) Attending 4-H Club meet
ings
(4) Putting up 4-H Club ex
hibits
Try to help 4-H Clubs to be
come a better member.

The Knotting Thread
By Rebecca M. Walker
| If you home sewers have
' trouble wth thread knotting when
I you sew, you might consider this
I tip.
The thread may knot because
I of the way you have been thread
ing the needle. Here’s a solution.
Pull off a length of thread —
about 24 inches in length—cut it
Now thread the needle and knot
the end you have just cut.
[Smooth the thread toward the
' knot between your finger and
i thumb.
Remember, thread is spun in
(one direction. If you sew against
| the twist of the thread, it gets
(roughed up. This causes knotting
;as does sewing with thread which
i is too long.
i When two people agree on
[something, one of them becomes
I unnecessary.
