S?l CtaservatioH Mews by John S. Smith \ The definition of a weed Is "a plant which is out of place" Under this definition, many plants, which could be very valuable in agriculture, are classified as weeds. One such plant Is TlckWeed which has always been considered a nuisance wherever it grew. Farmers, hunters, and every one else who has had to spend hours picking off the seed after being in the field have wished that the plant had never grown. Out near Peachtree, there are two farmers who think the Tickweed Is a blessing in dis guise. The McCombs bro thers have an acre of this plant on their farm which they deliber ately planted and which is treated with as good care as any other field they have. They have found that the acre produces the best hay which they produce on their farm. Seed to plant this field was furnished to the McCombs in early 1959 by the Plant Materials Section of the Soil Conservation Service. The P lant Is a leguem and produces very palatable forage. In addition, it is very easy to grow, is easy B cure tor hay, and does not shatter from handling or bailing. Cattle and mules prefer this hay to Ladlno and fescue hay. The picture above shows the field of Tickclover during the first growing season In 1959. In I960, It was almost a pure stand of legume with prac tically none of the grass which appears in the picture. It is just beginning to make its growth during this season. Although this field is planted to a selected strain of Tick weed. many fields InCherokee County are growing this crop voluntarily. One large field above the Airport in Andrews is in almost a pure stand of this plant. Manv of vou are probably wondering where you could get some seed of this hay producer. You will not have to hunt far. You have known it ail your life as "Beggar Lice."' Ageless Symbol of I Love and Devotion!

Faith la [rust and confi dence In another. But we, aa Christians realize that the true meaning of the word goes a great deal deeper than that. When we hear the questions: "What Is Faith? What Is Christianity?" we know that Christianity sprang from the faith that Cod was made mani fest in the flesh and dwelt among men. Christ was bom in Bethlehem, taught upon this earth, and at the age of 33 Idled on the cross for our sins. All of these things go to make iq> our Christian Faith. We can find the best examples of genuine faith in the Bible, in St. Matthew 4:19 we find these words: "And he said unto them, 'Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.' " St. Mark relates to us In chapter 28. verse 19 this statement of Christ: "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The disciples, who carried out the commands of theirMaster immediately, undoubtedly had a tremendous amount of faith. To give up your entire life's work and plans to follow a stranger could mean nothing more than that you had placed your entire trust and confidence In him. And in the 14th chapter of Acts, we find that the Apostle Paul was stoned and left for dead. But when he recovered he didn't give up the strife for the goal he had set out to attain. Through genuine faith he kept on preaching and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Can our lives stack up with the lives these early Christ lana lived? 1 fed that It name , for as k> ask our salves soma personal questions. Christ calls ua dally, )uat as He called the disciples ? become i his followers. He doesn't call i ua In the mystical way that i He called Saul on the road to . Damascus, but He calls In . many different ways each day. i We aren't called to the extent I that the disciples ware called, but our divine calling Is to simply be faithful Christians and to live a life that will be an example of our falih. If we do this, then we have truly answered our call . 1 ask that you think privately on this question before you go Bo sleep tonight:' "Would you lsy down your life In order to i^ihold your faith?" If the time ever comes that you must give if) your wife or husband, your children, your home In order to proclaim the existence of God, Would you do It? This doesn't seem very likely, but with the continued spreading of Communism about the world, anything could very well be possible. Only you can answer these questions to the satis facDon of your own mind. After all this discussion, we might ask ourselves what is the usefulness of all this excitement about the little five-letter word. Faith. Can strong faith make a difference In our lives? Yes, It can, and this is how. Our rewards will be great if our faith is genuine. First, we will maintain a harmonious relationship among our fellowmen. Peace on earth will be a reality for us. Secondly, we will gain peace of mind. We will be able to put our burdens on the shoulders of the Christ, who died on the cross that this might be done. And finally, we will gain our greatly desired eternal reward. These goals can be attained only by faith. These goals are within our grasp, so let's make it a point to reach for them.

The Cherokee Scout GOOD HINTING SINCl 1899 Dial VI 7-2222 SUNDAY IS A HOLIDAY AND A HOLY DAY Something to think about ... If there are intelligent creatures on some other planet, your son and mine may one day meet them! What sort of people would you hope these "Martians" to be? Believers in God ... or atheists? Men and women with spiritual ideals ... or materialists of the Kremlin vintage? Warm-hearted, friendly, with a Christian sense of values ... or ruthless, indifferent, dedicated only to self? WOULDN'T IT BE HEARTENING to find on that planet a world of churches ... of faith ... of folks at worship and at work for the Truth revealed to them by God? Something to think about . . . Next Sunday! In this world! Which isn't yet all we want Mars to be! HI CHURCH Copyright 1961 Keister Adv. Service, Inc. Strasburg, Va. L The Church ii the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. Day Book Chap.
