PAGE SIX -SECTION ONE By JAMES H GRIFFIN, Soil Conservationist Mulch - Planting Mulch-planted soy Deans on W. H. Winbome’s iarm near; Cross roads look very good. Field ex amination reveals that. the mulch-planted soybeans ate the same size as the soybeans plant ed the conventional way on their other halt of the field. This part of the field was prepared by burning the wheat Straw, plow ing and planting on rows. Considerable time and labor were saved on the mulch-planted soybeans as compared to the burned side of the field. By mulch-planting, only one time | over the field were needed, j whereas, at lease three trips were required on the burned; field. In the mulch-planting, the' wheat straw was returned to the land against being burned in the other method. Moisture was saved by not breaking the land in the mulch-planting. Good rainfall has occurred, which accounts for there being little or no difference in the soy beans 9ize. Mr. Winborne has cultivated the entire field of soybean? with little or no difficulty in the j mulch-planted soybeans. Ac-' cording to field observation, his I tractor wheels stayed on the! 'high ridge of straw in the mid dles without difficulty. This planting is beside the paved road so go by and ex amine it. Be sure you go in the field, because from the road, one planting looks much better than the other, and you might get the wrong impression. J. B. Hollowell’s mulch-planted milo looks very good, too. He didn’t have as much wheat straw as Mr. Winborne. A slight weed problem might be present in the middles. This can be corrected by plowing out the middles earl ier than planned.

These will be “doc ; tored” this fall. Small “breaks” ; are expected the first year. His . peanuts on these contour rows • look very good. He reports that : the rows have not been hard to ■ cultivate and no problems have . arose. This fall, he is planning to install some small grain strips • on another field to correct the , erorsion condition. J. B. Hottlowell of Crossroads is planning parallel small grain • strips on one of his fields this | fall. Sheet erosion is his major problem. j Grass-based Rotation j A fescue rotation has been 'started by Fahey and Carroll By rum on their “home farm” in Crossroads Community. Last fall, they seeded 25-30 pounds of fescue with their wheat on Class IHe land. This spring they har , vested the small grain leaving the fescue. Since then top dressing has been applied and now the fescue looks very green. They plan to graze cattle on it the rest of the year. If condi j tions are favorable, they will grazp it .another year before j turning the sod. Peanuts will be used behind the fescue sod. Practices such as this im proves the soil structure allow ing more water (rainfall) to en ter the soil. It prevents erosion because water runoff has been reduced to almost none. It saves water by storing it in the soil where it falls. This practice is adapted to tight, well-drained soils. Soil Test Now is the time to take soil samples for your 1960 crop. J. B. Byrum of Ryland is taking soil samples for his 1960 crop. The soil testing laboratory is not rushed and weather conditions are good for taking the soil sam ples. Woodland Conservation July and August are two good months to prepare woodland for pines. Brush can be disked and killed during these months Bembry Wood of Greenfield is planning to disk some of his cut over woodland. Cost is about S2O-$25 per aere. These are on ACP payment of $lO per acre for this practice . . . see your local ASC committee. ! CIVIC CALENDAR j — Continued From t> B oe I. Section 1 formances on Wednesday, Sep tember 2.

By JAMBS Mac&MBB I HI Mil Q Is the Virgin Birth of out* Lord and Saviour .testis Christ an important dodtrine of the Christian Faith, Not according to the president of the Presby terian Theological Seminary in San Francisco, Calitoftiia who makes it no part of his personal creed. Liturgieaily, he says, he accepts the Virgin Birth; that is, he can with a clear consci ence repeat the Apostles Creed; “I believe in . . . Jesus Christ . . . bom of the Virgin Mary...” However, he reeites this With mental reservations, for he does not actually believe Jesus wag born of a virgin. After all, he argues, only one Gospel, Mat thew, mentions it. Tragic that the president of a large seminary training young men for the • ministry should openly deny the Virgin Birth of Christ. More tragic that hifc de nomination, the United Presby terian Church in the United States of America, shoujld stand behind him in his unbelief, and affirm his right to disagree with the Word of God. For the issue is basic. The Bible teaches in Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:18-25 that Jteus was born of a virgin. It also teach es it in Luke 1:27 and following, but, after all, one cannot ex pect the president of a theologi cal seminary to know too much about such as obscure book as the Holy Bible! For that mat ter, how often must a. truth be mentioned in the Word of God before we may accept it as true? And if we may reject the au> fhority of the Bible with regard to the Virgin Birth, may we not reject it oh other matters? And what has become of sim ple honesty? When this man, and the majority of Presbyter ian ministers in his area who support him were ordained, they took certain vows. Among them were vows that they accepted the Bible as the infallible Word of God, and that they believed n the teachings of their de norrtination, one of which is the Virgin Birth of Christ. Further, "hey promised that if at some future time they changed their views they would withdraw from) "heir denomination. These hojv) vows, made in the presence of, God, they have broken.

But not. them! When a man loses faitt\ in the Bible, he - can’t be trusted to be open and honest. Besides, they have good positions with large pay—why expect them to be matyrs to their cause? So' they continue on, litutgi cally orthodox, and- practically heathens—accepting money from simple Bible , believing -Christian people, and , using it to destroy | the faith of young ministerial students committed to their care. What can be 9aid in their fa vor? Only this: They are good businessmen, with soft jobs. All Judas got for doing the same thing they- are doing was thirty pieces of silver. !; -.- i RETURNS FROM CARIBBEAN Oliver F. Bonner, ÜBN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver M.
