for a long time. House
wives, who have worried over
Soggy, sprouting potatoes in the
spring, will realize at once
what a boon it will be to them
when all potatoes on the mar
ket are treated with this chem
ical. It seems to be more wide
ly used in the South, than any
where else.
A few paragraphs back I
mentioned the high hopes that
April brings to most people, and
that reminded me of some
people I know who never seem
happy or satisfied until they.
have dampened or completely
crushed the hopes of some
other person . I have never
been able to understand how
any one can enjoy the occupa-
ton of back-biting and malici-
Gus gossip when there are so
many nice ways to be occupied.
It certainly can't be very i'm
proving to the mind and it
brings so much sorrow and un-
happiness to the victim. One
time after I had talked indies
creetly about something I
should have kept silent about,
it bothered me so much I
wrote a poem and dedicated it
to all people who use a NAL
eficent tongue too freely. Here
is the poem:
A PRATTLFR'S PRAYER
I say so much that I don't
really mean
Foolish words that damn, in
stead of bless.
Dear Father, guide me in my
choice of words
And bar me from a gossip's
narrowness.
Why can't I meet my neigh
Dor on the street
And speak of books or politics
or such
Then pass along my way with
out regret,
Instead of standing till I've
said too much?
Why do I criticize, instead OF
praise,
When kind words do so, where
harsh ones fail?
God help me do my part to
mako a world
Where brotherhood and kind
ness will prevail.
I hope there is enough truth
in it to help someone who
reads it. I know I thought
twice before speaking lightly OF
anyone for quite a while after
II wrote it. Someone said thai
a true friend will hold up fol
you in public and sit down or
you in private. Far too many
of us just reverse that pro-
cedure.

Fdcts and Funcies

April, one of the most beauti-
1ul months of the year, is al
most gone. I hate to see it 90
because it has charm that is
unique with the ever new un-
folding glorv of spring that it
brings with its entrance. /
think most of us have higher
hopes in April than in any
other month. Also, there seems
70 be q universal urge to work
the soil and plant something,
even If it is nothing more than
q few flower seeds. And what
gives the feeling of greater sat
lSfactlon or achievement than
watching plants grow and pro-
duee, that one has cared for
with his own hands?

supervisor Cor Jackson and George
counties, \ ported Thursday.
Applications for loans to build
or repair farm houses and other
structures are being received at
the FILA office in Lucedale and
the county agents office in Pas

Long Term. Low Interest
The loans, which may run for
80 years at four per cent interest,
are made to farmers and farm
owners unable to obtain funds
from any other source. Prefer
ence is being given to veterans,
Monroe said, if all other factors
are equal.
Most of the funds will be
loaned. Monroe expects. for re-
pairs and remodeling rather than
new construction.
The program covers a multi
tude of things-putting in run
ming water, bathrooms, gas and
electrical appliances, butane sys-
TENS, screens, wells. repairing
roofs, buying additional land, etc.
Eligible this year are absentee
farm owners and persons who
work at a job but live in rural.
areas and own a few chickens. a
COW or engage in other agrieul-
tural pursuits in their off hours.
All, however, must show $500 in
agricultural production in the
past IL months.
Liens Disqualify
Anyone with a mortgage or 9TH
er lien on his property is dis
qualified.
Funds advanced, Monroe ev-
planned, will be put into a joint
account and the FILA representa-
tive will "see that they are spent
for wha; is needed
Monroe said that persons in
doubt about whether or not their
particular problems can be solved
under the program may get addi-
tional information from his and
the county agents office.
