Soil Conservation Steps Up Yield 21% Big Advance Was Made in Last Decade Looming large among factors con &ributj:g to the American farmers' .aecrod production job on food and that for war is the notable increase Atnni in acre yields of vital crops. Pet acre yields of major crops Airing the years 1934-43 were 11.8 pst cent greater than yields in the practices decade of 3923-32, according to government fig «res. In the period 1937-43, the seven jtars during which conservation practices have boon carried out •s a part of the Agricultural Adjust «i?ai agency's program, crop yields ft* acre averaged 21.2 per cent •b ore the 1923-32 figure. Yields in »tl were higher than in any year ware 1923, except for the phenome nal 1942 acre yield which was 36 per «eni above the average for the •ar'.jcr decade. Comparison of acreage and total production figures shows that while total acreage in 1937-43 was about 8 per cent smaller than the 1923-32 ••crzee, total agricultural ctutput in creased 14.5 per cent. The increased jit-Ms since 1937, due primarily to Hie employment of conservation practices, have been responsible for •its high output figure from a •mailer acreage.

Fertilizing Tomatoes Nearly Doubles Crop Two research rr.en of the soils de fcrtment at the University of VV:s «msm, found that tomatoes need a let at fertilizer and pay a big profit •a it, even on land that already is •(art.? fertile. They report that compared with ■wfiertiiized tomatoes the best treat .wrrt increased yields enough to net ©44 extra to the acre above fer tilizer cost. This was on the basis «f 1943 cannery price; actually these tomatoes were sold an the ■Qwaukee market at a higher price and greater return for the fertilizer. Mast profitable of the fertilizer proprams tested was a broadcast application of 500 pounds 6-6-20 tt. t«e acre 500 pounds 3-12-12 at the wide of the row. At a fertilizer cost of >2O £0 to the acre, this treatment in treased yields by 69 per cent. Row applications alone were not to bring out top yields and were less profitable on the acre basis. The 6-6-20 fertilizer which was &roadc-ast gave just as good results •s wore expensive formulas con taining larger amounts of either aitrogen or phosphorus. "Owse results were secured on a Miami silt loam soil which contains Medium to high amounts of phos fhoros, a fair amount of potassium, »l«ty of boron and has a reaction ranging from just below neutral to riightly alkaline. The variety of tomatoes grown was a rather late one named J. T. D. Berger and Truog think it is possible that an earlier variety would have paid off even better on fertilizer, macm about one-third of this crop was caught by frost before it ■pened.

Keep Cool With Frosty Ice Box Pudding (See Recipes Below) Summer Favorites If appetites are dawdling, a real Job confronts the cook. Summer or winter, the body needs nourish ment, and the basic seven foods \ *Trls*.A must be included in the diet. Jr What, then, j- — ff {*' *}_- must be done? —V— Well, for out thing, the appetite must be coaxed with new and dif ferent combinations of food. Even in summer there should be one hot food in the meal, but the cold ones should be very cool and tempting. Attractive serving can help con sumption, too. If there are cool, crisp looking tablecloths, napkins and dishes, the appetite will natur ally perk up. Add to this, green, crisp garnishes, pleasing color com binations and well prepared foods, and there need be no difficulty in having the Tood eaten even on the warmest a.iy. Sin r I H'ti hits.' Today's round-up of recipes will help in planning palate-pleasing menus for hot summer days: •Veal-Cheese Sandwich. (Makes 6 sandwiches) pound prepared veal loaf 'i cup cottage cheese 6 stuffed olives 1 teaspoon grated onion 1 tablespoon mayonnaise Butter 12 slices bread Chill veal loaf and slice thinly. Mix cottage cheese, chopped stuffed olives, onion and mayonnaise. Place veal slices on buttered bread. Top with bread spread with cottage cheese mixture. A leaf of lettuce may be placed in between. Serve with pickles and potato chips for lunch. Jellied Chicken and Vegetables. (Serves 6) 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin '.j cup cold water or stork 11-.I 1 -.- cups hot chicken stock 'j teaspoon salt 1 cup chicken, chopped 1 cup cooked vegetables (peas, string beans, beets, aspara gus, carrots) !_• pimiento or green pepper Soften gelatin in cold water.

Let stiffen My slightly and dec * My orate with pepper and other vegeta bles. Arrange the ££3 thickening jelly, chicken and vegetables in layers and chill. Unmold on lettuce. Lynn Says The Score Card: Potatoes and onions are coming into the mark ets. They are very much usable in summertime menus. Plan to use plenty of peaches, apricots and melons this year. Crop supplies look plentiful. Ice cream consumption has in creased from eight pounds per person in 1924 to sixteen pounds in 1942. Homemakers are urged to can as many fruits and vegetables this season to give themselves point-insurance for the winter. Last year, more lard was pro duced than at any.time during the nation's history. Egg supplies are still plentiful. Use at least one a day to fortify your diet. Sugar stamps 30 and 31 (book 4) are each good for 5 pounds of sugar. Sugar stamp, number 40, will give you 5 pounds of sugar for canning. An extra 20 pounds of canning sugar is available with stamp 37, upon application to your local board. This will give you 10 pounds now and 10 pounds later. THE DAN BURY REPORTER, DAMU'RY, N. C..

' Released by Western Newspaper Union, IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I CHOOL Lesson By HATIOLD L. lA'NDQI'IST. D. D Of The Moody Bu>le Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for July 9 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copy righted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. TAKING POSSESSION OF CANAAN LESSON TEXT—Joshua 14:6-14: Judges 4:20. 21. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou hast wholly fol lowed the Lord.—Joshua 14:9. Companions in battle usually ' means friends and comrades for j life. Joshua, of whom we studied i last week, had such a friend in j Caleb. Together they had faced the ■ crises of life. Caleb is one of the characters j about whom the Bible does not say j much, but in every case the word j is one revealing high and noble character. Consider such passages as Numbers 13:(i, 30, 14:7-9, 24, 30; 26:65, as well as our lesson for today. The background for our study is j the story of Caleb's courageous i stand with Joshua when the spies re- \ turned from their visit to Canaan, j which is related in Numbers 13. | Note first of all Caleb's I. Perfect Obedience (Josh. 14: I 6-8). "I wholly followed the Lord my ! God." Such a testimony from a man 1 like Caleb is no idle boast, no effort j to parade his faith and piety before : others. In saying it he was repeating 1 what God and Moses had both said about him. In his heart he knew it j to be true. It is God's will for each of His j children that they should come to j such a place of simple trust and , complete obedience that in every j circumstance of life they need to ! know only one thing—God's will, and : then in faith to go and do it. It is a life beautiful in its transparent simplicity and powerful in the | strength of God Himself. 11. Promised Inheritance (v. 9). "Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheri tance." Such was the promise of God through Moses. Forty-five long years had elapsed, but down through this period of wilderness wanderings and the conflict in sub duing Canaan the promise had lived in Caleb's heart. He knew it would be fulfilled, and he waited serenely for God's time. Such also are the promises of God which keep the heart singing in our hours of trial and sorrow, which light up the dark ways, which strengthen the heart of His children. Learn God's promises, cherish them , in your heart, expect God to fulfill | them. i 111. Preserved Strength (vv. 10, 11). "The Lord hath kept me alive . . . and I am . . . strong." Here was a man kept of God, in full vigor in | his eighty-fifth year, "like a rock in a changeful sea, like a snow capped peak in a ciiange of cloud and storm and sun" (Meyer). No 1 doubt there was here what our fore | fathers liked to call "the longevity of the antediluvians"; but even apart from that, let us recognize j that life and strength come from ; God, and that those who walk with j God in holy living may count on j Him for the renewed strength of ' Psalm 103:5. An incidental but extremely im | portant lesson we should learn is that God has no age deadline. The church has frequently sinned against | Him and against His faithful serv- I ants by "shelving them" for j younger men, when they would have ] brought blessing if the church had | encouraged and used them. The | writer of these lines is a young man, j but he would speak here a word of | loving admonition regarding his hon | ored brethren who have gone on be j fore to bear the brunt of the battle. IV. Powerful Assurance (vv. 12- 15; Judg. 1:20-21). "If . . . the Lord will be with me, 1 then I sha'.l be able." Caleb asked for no easy task. He was ready to go j up against the giants of Hebron. Head Deuteronomy 3:11, and you will find that there were men in those days who needed thirteen-foot beds. But Caleb was not afraid. He counted not on his own strength, but on the power of God. It is significant that, while the other sections of Canaan were only partially conquered, Caleb brought his formidable adversaries entirely under control, so that "the land had rest from war" (v. 15). The verses in Judges 1 indicate that Caleb was as good as his word. He was a doughty, God-fearing 85-year-old. His faith is here contrasted with the shameful unbelief and failure of Is rael. The spiritual application to our day is evident and appropriate. There are giants in the land. Cor ruption social and individual raises its brazen head. Drunken ness and vice leer at us with the im pudent suggestion that we cannot control them. There are giants "withii us greed, selfishness, love of ease, lust, passion, cruelty" (Blaikie). Are we to do nothing about them? If we are to meet them in the strength of the flesh, we might al most as well do nothing. But in the power of God, we are like Caleb— able. In His name we may do some thing about it! For His glory, PATTERNS*.
