Do they mean anything to you?you may say I can't pray, I dont know what to say, I Just don't know how to pray. But you can pray a song. If yon are prayerful la your heart and the words of the song express the prayer of your heart, why Isn't that a prayer? You can pray asy time or anywhere. Don't think as a -little boy did that you have to have a certain time and place to pray and tkaV you can't pray in the day time with all your clothes on. Pray In your work if it be In the kitchen or the office. QFod hears and answers pray ere as most of you doubtl??s have realized, but you must also realise that all prayers are not answered with "yes" "For the Lord knoweth what we have need of before we ask Him." And He knows what is best for us. Let us give more thanks ihstead of begging for so many blessings that are tor our own satisfaction and not to <%e glory of God. ??^Daily Bible readings.

BBC. PRICES PBOVE / > FEEDING PLAN RIGHT Raleigh, August 4. ? On July 14 top prices for hogs on the Chicago mark et -was 7 1-2 cents per pound. By the first of August, the top was 10 1-2 cents per pound. "Nothing else need be said In favor of the plan being promoted by the ex tension specialists and State Division fo* markets to have growers to so feed out their hogs that these animals are ready for sale on the high mark ets of August and April." says V. W. Lewis, livestock marketing specialist foe the State Division of .Markets. "At the same date that hogs were selling in Chicago for 10 1-2 cents they were setting in Baltimore for 11.4 cents per pound and in Richmond for 11 cents." These markets at Baltimore and Richmond are the nearest large mark ets for hogs in this State and they usaally pay better prices than the Chi coga market. For the past few years W. W. Shap of the Animal Industry Di vision and Mr. Lewis have been work ing out a plan of feeding and market ing that will bring North Carolina hogs to good condition at a time when the market is highest. For over 20 years, these specialists say, the mark et has been highest in August and September in the- fall and in March and April in the Bpring. Mr. Lewis states ..that hogs as a money crop are growing in- Import ance in North Carolina and farmers should give serious consideration to' ths plan that will allow them to place these hogs on the market when the best prices may be obtained. If not in a position to start this year, an ef fort should be made to have some ani mals ready for the high market next spring. Well bred bows that will soon farrow or suckling pigs bought at reasonable prices now should pay good returns, If fed according to the Shay plan, thinks Mr. Lewis. r? . ????ii?'
