ttvity of the land he takes out of' first or second mortgages upon the
production. This will range from whole or any part of the farm prop-
S6 per acre for land yielding on uhe. erty, real or personal, including
around 100 pounds lint ’ crops.
When the loans are to be secured
by second mortgages on farm real
estate, the holder of the first mort
gage will be required to limit his
right to proceed against the farmer
and the mortgaged property, de
pending upon the aggregate
amount of the first and second
mortgages. When the aggregate of
the two mortgages does not exceed
$5,000, the holder of the first mort
gage must agree not to foreclose
without the consent of the commis
sioner within a period of three
years. When the two mortgages
total more than $5,000 the agree
ment not to foreclose must be for
five years.
All formal applications for loans
must be made on a regular blank
supplied by the commissioner and
must be accompanied by an ap
praisal fee of $10 and a plat of the
property. Officials estimate the
cost of securing a loan for $1,000
to be the following items: assist
ance in filling out application, $1;
appraisal fee, $10; abstract fee, $25;
determination of title, $3.50, record
ing fee, $5, a total of $44.50. For a-
mounts exceeding $1,000 the fees
for abstract of title and determin
ing of title will be increased in pro
portion. When the amount of the
loan sought does not amount to the
full 75 per cent of the valuation of
the security pledged these costs
may be included in the loan.

says Alfred Lutken, extension en
tomologist.
Reports from county agricultural
agents for the week ending June 17
show varying degrees of plant in-
festation ranging from 5 to 400
weevils per acre, and square infes
tation ranging from 1 to 26 per
cent. During the same period last
year, plant infestation ranged up
to 3600 weevils per acre and square
infestation up to 58 per cent. j
Attention should be given, Mr.
Lutken advises, to checking indi
vidual fields and applying poison
where the infestation is great
enough to warrant control meas
ures. A great many fields of late
cotton can still be poisoned effec
tively with the 1-1-1 mixture. Old-*
er cotton with well developed
squares or blooms should be poison
ed with four to five pounds of cal- |
cium arsenate dust per acre after
the infestation has reached 10 per
cent.
Picking up and destroying fallen
squares will be of great value in re
ducing the number of first genera
tion weevils, particularly if the
weather becomes cool and rainy
during the latter part of June.
COVETED HONORS FOR NINE
CADETS OF ACADEMY OF RICH
MOND COUNTY, AUGUSTA, GA.
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Nine cadets of
the academy were announced as
the 1933 members of the Gold Let
ter Society. The Gold Letter is
coveted honor and is awarded on
the basis of all around excellence.
Charlie C. Coleman, nephew of Mrs.
Cornelia Witt, and son of L. C.
Coleman, was one of the nine to
receive this honor. His letter was
awarded because of the following:
High honor first year, high honor
second year, highest honor third
year, president of literary society
second year, member of the Acad
emy Literary Society three years,
contestant in Sidney Lanier com
petition, member of Glee Club,
member of track team, first serg
eant. He also made the highest
average for the year in the junior
class. Two cadets, Jack Pearlstein
and Charlie Coleman, tied for the
five dollars in gold offered for the
best grade in American history. The
D. A. R. chapter here, donor of che
award, presented each with five
dollars.
This is a review lesson, where we pause to summarize
the meaning of the lessons of the Second Quarter, dealing
with the drama of the life of Jesus from the middle of His
ministry to His death and resurrection.
At the beginning we saw the Master, with His disciples,
pushing into Syria. There he met the Greek woman who
sought and found His healing touch for her afflicted daugh
ter. Note the absence here of either sex or race prejudice.
Then we studied one of the most critical episodes in
the career of Jesus, the conference at Caesarea Philippi,
where the Master, apparently for the first time, openly
acknowledged that He was the Messiah, and demanded of
His disciples sacrifical obedience after the pattern of the
Cross.
There followed the thrilling episode of the Transfig
uration. In the darkness of the night Jesus, with His three
most intimate disciples, trudged up a mountain, and there,
at its summit, was He transformed. His whole person as
suming an unearthly splendor.
Then we watched the Saviour rebuke the self-seeking
of His amhitious followers by placing a little child in their
midst; we studied the exceedingly suggestive story of the
rich young ruler; we walked with our Lord as He journey
ed tow r ard Jerusalem to face His Cross; we shared in the en-
ihusiasm of the crowd as they hailed Him, upon His en
trance into the city so close to His heart, as King; we de
lighted in His skill in confounding those who tried to en
trap Him with their captious questions; we rejoiced in the
devotion of the woman who poured costly ointment upon
Ilis head; and we noticed the startled look upon the faces
of the twelve, and heard their n?rvous query, “It is I?”, as
He announced His betrayal.
Finally, we saw our King on His Cross, crucified at
Calvary. It is a hjtter but glorious Cross, a throne fit for
a matchless Master. And soon we saw the grip of death
released, and a risen Lord who reigns forever in the hearts
of all who love Him.
