"Do you think you talk only with your lips?” interrupted his mother. “What do you suppose has whispered to me that you have been in the apple cellar, and that, you went through the coal room?” - “I can’t imagine,” said Eddy honestly. . i'jj* The little boy turned, and there between him and the door were five coal-dusty footprints on the white matting. Mother could not help smiling at the look of surprise on the little face; but it was a rather mournful smile. “Do you think we can ever do wrong, Eddy, and not leave marks of it somewhere?” she asked. “And 0, my little boy, the marks which sin leaves are on your heart, which ought to be clean and white for God’s eves, instead of being all tracked over by wrong doing!” “Won’t they come out?” asked Eddy. He meant the footprints on the matting. But mother was think ing about those other marks when she said: “The blood of Jesus Christ cieanseth from all sin. You must ask him to forgive you, Eddy, and to take away your guilt, and to make you hate sin, which leaves such ugly footprints on your little life.” And then, for a punishment and for a reminder, mother kept the foot prints on the sitting room floor that tfhole day. so that Eddy might see them and remember how every wrong deed leaves dark stains on his little heart.—Buds of Hope.

You are writing a Gospel, a chapter each day, By deeds that you do, by words that you say. Men read what you write, whether faithless or true. Say, what is the Gospel according to you? Men read and admire the Gospel of Christ, With its love so unfailing and true; But what do they say, and what do they think Os the Gospel “according to you?” ’Tis a wonderful story, that Gos • pel of Love, As it shines in the Christ-like Di vine. And, oh, that its truth might be told again ; In the story of your life and mine! Unselfishness mirrors in every scene; Love blossoms on every sod; And back from its vision the heart comes to tell The wonderful goodness of God, You are writing each day a letter to men, . Take care that the writing is true; ’Tis the only Gospel some men will read, That Gospel according to you. —Unknown. *************** * Jesus’ Prayer Life * * By LOIS V. GENTRY * *************** There is surely a mystery in the prayer life of Jeus. Why should God pray to God? If we think of prayer as petition then the question natural ly comes “If Christ be God why should He pray to God?” Christ is God, says Stalker in his Imago Christi, perfectly God. But he adds too that He is perfectly man. Prayer in petition expresses His Man side, His true humanity. When we look at prayer as “the fullness of the soul in conversation with God” then we see His divine side. The occasions for prayer in Jesus’ life were many. He prayed before every important step or crisis in His life. Before choosing His twelve apostles He prayed the whole night; for the future of Christanity depend ed on this selection. He . prayed especially when His life was hard and full of excitement. It gave Him the calm poise that was His. Jesus died praying. Jesus considered prayer as a privi lege. Prayer rested and strengthen ed Him and gave Him new vigor and patience to bear all that was His to bear. In prayer lay one of the great secrets of His Power. Jesus’ play of prayer was a solitary place. He seemed particularly to like the mountains. The hills around Him and the trees over Him did much to soothe and calm His mind. Jesus not only lead a private prayer life, He also prayed publically. Many people can not understand the zeal and fire of prayer if prayer is only secret. Jesus saw this so He taught prayer in fellowship. Just before Jesus’ trial and death He went for strength to the Garden of Gethsemane. He left His disciples a little ways in the garden to pray and to watch while He went deeper into the grove to pray. And there With all the fervor heart that had been faithful; with all the .anguish of a soul that had . never sinned He' criei,'. “Let- this, cap pa# from m, 0 .God> let this- cup pass .fro,iu roe r ” His tlfc&iples heard this- but, they were ;tired’and -fell asleep..'

The Board of Trustees of State College has authorized President E. C. Brooks to proceed with the expen diture of sufficient funds to see that this information is carried to the leading farmers and to the local press. For the past several months a careful study has been made of the food production problem in this State. A careful record of bothe production, consumption and profits has been made under the direction of C. A. Sheffield, assistant director of extension. It is reported that some of the facts will be of great interest in that they do not follow the results given wide publicity by economists at other institutions. For instances, says Dean I. 0. Schaub, Mr. Sheffield’s figures show that the farmers of the State on the average are nearly feeding them selves. It is the city folks who are buying food from outside, therefore the question now is how to grow and prqpare this fo*d for sale to the ur ban population. The figures show further that North Carolina’s bill for imported food is nearer one hundred and a half million dollars than it is two hundred and half a million. The new figure also includes a bill for some twenty million dollars worth of milk that we should drink but in reality do not. The extension service plans there fore during the next four months to show by actual and carefully secured data the condition in each county so that the Boards of Agriculture, the county agent and the county officials may take; the necessary steps to help balance the local agriculture. Full plans for presenting this in formation will be made at the annual extension conference to be held at the College during the week of Janu ary 6. | ® *************** * Gulf News * *************** 1 Born to Mr. and Mrs. R.

I INTERESTING FACTS FOR FARMERS TIMELY HINTS ON GROWING CROPS. = News of the Week on Chatham County Farms Mr. J. J. Brown of the Depart ment of Agriculture at Raleigh, and Mr. P. A. Seese, Extension Poultry man, were visitors in the county this last week. The purpose of their visit was the blood-testing of two poultry flocks for bacillary white diarrhea. The demonstrators cooperating in having their flocks blood tested are Mrs. O. B. Mann of Pittsboro, RFD route 2and Mrs. J. M. Edwards of Siler City RFD. One of the smallest wheat crops in the history of the county has been seeded this fall. Unfavorable weather conditions have prevented the seed ing of fully half a normal crop. Not only has there been a small wheat crops seeded, but a small barley and oat crop as well. j * * * j For the purpose of ascertaining the best adapted varieties of corn for planting in Chatham county, two corn variety tests will be conducted 1 on two different soil types in Chat ham county this year. Some of the varieties of corn that will be grown ,ip this test are Weekly's Improved, i Southern Beauty, Latham’s Double, , Cocked Prolific, Mosby’s Prolific and others. * * * The County Agent has had a num ber of inquiries for various seeds from the newly organized Seed Cer tification Department for use in this cqunty. There is now available some 10,000 bushels of Mexican Big 801 l cotton see7, « m r S e supply or I oats ana barley for farmers of this state to grow for certification. DID YOU KNOW THAT—" A barred Rock heri at the Univer sity of Missouri recently finished her first laying year with a production of 301 eggs, the last of which averaged 24 ounces to the dozen. * * * A weather service for dairying is now being offered by Cornell Uni versity. This is another step in the direction of helping the dairy indus try of that section to meet the in creasing demand for milk. With ap proximately 1,600,000 dairy cows in New York state and every bit of the product necessary to fill the demand, it is quite possible that sudden cold spells would be an important factor in losing their market for them were the dairymen not prepared to meet the emergency. * * * An analysis of the accounts on six- J ty-seven Knox county, Ohio, farms, brings out some important factors which have to do with farm profits. Net incomes above all labor and other j costs varied from a profit at $4,807 down to a loss of $320 a year. Volume of business was the most im portant factor in increasing the in THE LEE HARDWARE CO.

Farms with more than six cows showed average incomes of sl,- 788; those with less than that showed average incomes of $832. The dairy farms showed the higest incomes. * * 9 In the past ten years, Illinois far mers have spread more than 5,000,- 000 tons of limestone which came to them from commercial quarries. It is estimated that this has added all the way from $lO to $34 an acre to the state in increased crops. Dusting Methods and Machines to be Demonstrated in'Chatham Plans are now under way for the holding of one or two dusting demon strations in Chatham county. At these demonstrations, the latest methods and machinery will be used. It is planned to have the two-row, four row, saddle guns and hand dusters in operation. Representatives of the various companies will probably be on hand to outline the merits of their various machines. If present plans are carried out, there will probably be two of these demonstrations, one in the eastern part of the county an dope in the western part the county. Mr. C. IL |}raWon, Extension Entomologist, w|ll assist the County' Agent in con ducting thesg demonstrations. Chatham Facing Serious . Shortage of Feed Crops Farmers in this county are begin ning the new year with a very small supply of roughage saved this sum jyier on hand. The decreased acreage I in small £ rA ins th.i# fall lvill serve to j intensify this shortage. A larfJ acre ! age seeded in spring oats will help to ile&Km this feed deficiency, but plans should be made how £o seed larger acreages in aoy beans, spring oats, lespeaeza and other feed crops for i 930. To properly supply its 4500 dairy cOWs With legume roughage, farmers in this county need to seed larger ! acreages than ever in soy beans, ; clovers and other legumes. To pro perly take care of the pasture re quirements for these same cows, Chatham needs 4500 acres in pre pared pastures. At the present time; it seems that we are a long way from attaining this goal for pastures, but an effort will be made this year to induce as many farmers as possible to seed ah acre of prepared pasture for every dairy cow on the farm, to induce every farmer to seed an acre of soy beans or some other legum inous hay for every cow kept, and to induce as many farmers as possible J to plant a row of soy beans or a hill , of soy beans with every row or hill . of corn for seed and soil improving purposes. ! Last year, Chatham seeded be tween 2500 and 3000 acres in soy beans. When we take into considera tion the fact that a large portion of this hay was fed to work stock and PAGE THREE I DOINGS OF I CHATHAM I FARMERS I STOCK FARMING, I POULTRY, I ETC. j other forms of livestock rather than the dairy cow, we can readily see that some cow r s were forced to depend on tops, fodder or meadow hay for their roughage. Chatham County Want Ad Farm Column; WANTED 1000 Chatham farmers to seed 2000 aQTes in Lepedeza in 1930. 150 dairymen to seed at least an acre of prepared pastures. Farmers in five communities to improve the breeding of their cows through the use of bulls of better type and higher production. One farmer in each township of the county to conduct a boll wee vil dusting demonstration in co operation with the County Agent and the Extensic Entomologist. Five hundred farmers to fight the boll weevil with the dust poison method. Fifty farmers to seed at least an acre of sweet clover each properly limed and inoculated. Twenty-five farmers to seed at least an acre of alfalfa each. *************** * t * God Made Your r *- House, Young Friend* *************** l Have you seen Mr. Turtle? If you • disturb him he will pull himself in | side and close the doors and lock them on the Inside. We think him a > queer creature he lives in ; his house all the tiihe and carries it about with him. But wS q 6 £he same ’ thing. This house we live in is made of bones, muscles, nerves, and skins. r The homes make the joists, croas i beams and the rafters of the house we live in. The muscles make a ! great rope-and-tackle outfit that en . ables us to carry our house around > with us and to work and play. But ' the muscles would not know when to if each one did not have a tele ; graph wire attached to it. The tele > graph wires we call nerves and they J carry messages as quick as lightning. | If you touch anything very hot, the nerves in your finger tips flash a . message to “central”—your brain— -1 and instantly the muscles in your arm are notified to take your finers off the burning object, and it is done. Sometimes you cut your finger. The “wrecking- crew” is notified im mediately. Truly this is a wonderful house God has given us to live in, to carry around, and to do our work for usb Let’s not forget that the body is only the house we live in. One second after a person moves out of his “earthly house,” the eyes can’t see because it really isn’t the eyes that see. They are just the lenses through which the person looked. The ears can no longer hear because it really isn’t the ear that hears. The ears are the speaking tubes by which the person living inside may hear. The ear-telephones God has put in your flesh-and-bone house are more won derful than the Bell telephone in your wooden houses. A telephone is no good except when some one is at each end of the line. So your ear would be no good if there wasn't a person living inside this flesh and bone house to hear the message. If any one should try it would take a long time to tell all the won ders of this house we live in. It has a heating plant to keep it warm. It has a system of canals to carry food, done up in red packages, around to the hungry muscles. It has a sugar factory, where starch is changed to sugar. It makes its own oil to keep the hair alive and skin soft. It has a drainage and sewer system. It makes its own medicine. It does its own repairing, if we give it good food, water and air for material. When you smash your finger-nail, it slowly pushes the old nail off and puts a brand new one on. It has hands that can be trained to do won ders with a needle, saw hammer, knife, brush, shovel, fork and pen. Such a wonderful complicated house, so well equipped, was planned by our Heavenly Father. Jijst as you can learn how skilful a man is by looking at some piece of work he has done; so you can learn somewhat of our Heavenly Father’s wisdom and' power* and loving forethought by studying the marvelous house you live lfy. Many, many years ago David said: “I will praise Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvfeWus are Thy works.” We could and should tell our Heavenly Father the same thing. Long skirts are coming back, but very slowly. The girls are going to fight to the last stitch.—Chicago Tribune.
