jmJmm Lack of Machinery Calls for Sharing Million of Workers Needed for "44 Harvest With the harvest season'well un 4et way m most farming areas, tha em of getting enough labor and machinery to do the job at the right Sim* :s again present. With little or r.o prospect of more fa*ge combines an J labor-saving tquipn'.ert f r haying this season, 56e Wur Foe .1 administration is urg ayj small grain producers to make the greatest possible use of existing auKftirery. Owners of combines juitable for custom work will have ic help their neighbors to insure harvest of the crt.p. Sharing of all Kypes of equipment will be neces sary, says WKA, b ;t the production ■schedules have run far behind on aeavy machinery. Custom use of large combines and itoe more expensive types of haying nachii es would be necessary even '/ manufacturers had completed ihe'T production schedules on time, St a pointed out. as a result of cur tnilea manufacture «:nce the begin tliJU of the war anil the failure of uint old machines to carry through. Production of corn pickers was re- ported as lagging in late spring, wt there were prospects of a step-up More the harvest. Shortages of manpower for manufacturing plants and of component parts for the na siiines are reported as largely re sponsible for production delays. Emphasis is also being given to Jte need f r keep.r.g oid machines in tip-top condition. While most farm ers will have checked over their squipmer.t before harvest time, to •rotd breakdowns after the begin wmii of the work season, frequent Aeck ups durng the period of op eration i,re ah s essential to efficient ae It is anticipated that some four aaiflicn volunteer urban workers will .fee required to complete the harvest, a* farm population is at a 30-year am and those remaining on farms ■net) every bit of help they can get. Tarm labor requirements are based an farm production goals, set at an ather record-breaking level for 1944. Itequirements for volunteer farm labor are for two million men, 1,200,- W boys and girls, and 800,000 wom an. In addition to increased use of ■amen and part-time workers, and intensive local community recruiting Jnres, labor recruitments include hr imported labor from Mexico, Jamaica, the Bahamas and other nearby countries, and a number of available prisoners of war. Processing plants handling large janntities of t!ie food produced by America's farmers are also in need at some 750,000 part-time workers be "tar* the end of the year. Farm Inronie Moving Toward a Now Hifih After reaching a record high figure to 1343, farm cash income has con timed to show expansion in 1944, recording to the Alexander Hamil ton institute. Although government terefit payments during the first inarter dr .pped to $224.000,0j0 this year from $271,000,000 last year, this 4ecrea.se was more than offset by a ta/n in receipts from marketings. Tots.' iarm income in the first (Barter th is year amounted to 1,000,000 as against $3.f"ti8,000,- Mb in the same period last year, an Increase of 13 7 per cent. The in crease in receipts from sales was 4m partly to a 5 3 per cent higher price level for farm products and partly to a gain of 10.1 per cent in ttie quantity sold. The price level of goods which the termers bought was 8 0 per cent aig»>eT thr.n a year ago in the first quarter. This was more than offset l»y the gain in income and, conse quently, the farmers' purchasing power showed a 5 2 per cent rise. Thu gain in purchasing power, how ever, was made in the first two months. In March, the farmers' purchasing power was slightly smaller than a year ago, thus pro riding support to the present expec tation that the farmers' purchasing jester for the year as a whole will be dialler than in 1943 despite a record high income in 1944. The farmers' cash income in 1944 Is now estimated at $20,011,000,000 na compared with the previous high Mcord of $19,764,000,000 in 1943. The facreasa which Is now indicated will ant be sufficient to offset the pros pective higher price level of goods kought by the farmers. Consequent *r. the outlook is that the farmers' forchasing power In 1944 will be 3.4 gar cent smaller than in 1943.

Then, here is one: Roast Corn. Use fresh sweet corn. Remove corn silk but leave husks on. Dip the ear, husk and all into a pail of water and lay on a grate over a hot bed of coals. The water turns into steam within the husk coating and thus cooks the corn, making it steamy and juicy instead of dry and tasteless. Corn may also be roasted by burying in the ashes.

THE PROPHET IN THE LIFE OF ISRAEL LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 3 19 21; 7 311. GOLDEN TEXT—He that hath my word. l*t him speak my word faithfully.—Jeremtah 23:28. Remarkably up-to-date Is the helpful guidance found in this les son. When our nation finds Itself facing those other nations which would destroy our Christian faith, and we know that we need the key both to a true victory and a satisfac tory peace, the message of this scripture comes with fine helpful ness. The prophet Samuel (who was also priest and judge) served God in ruling his people at a time when they were under the hard heel of the Philistines. The way out of op pression was revealed in God's Word, which brought revival and deliverance—which was not forgot ten in the day of triumph. I. God's Word Declared (3:19-21). While a prophet had the ministry of foretelling, his chief work was forth-telling. He told of the future, but his larger ministry was to de clare the message of God. As Sam uel did this In faithful devotion to the Lord, there was the Immediate blessing of God which established the prophet throughout the whole land. Those who are timid about "limit ing" their ministry (imagine that!) to the Bible should learn of Samuel that it is the only really effective message. God will not "let you down" if you teach and preach His Word. He let none of Samuel's "words fall to the ground" (v. 19) and He will not desert us as we give forth His truth. Note that the Lord Himself came to strengthen and encourage Samuel (v. 21). He is just as gracious to His servants today. He comes to them in that blessed strengthening fellowship which stirs their hearts and fires them anew with holy de termination. 11. Man's Heart Revived (7:3-6). The response of the people to Samuel's message was whole hearted. They were sick of their sin and idolatry. They proved the reality of their repentance by put ting away their heathen gods. Such repentance and appropriate action is a prerequisite to spiritual revival. God cannot give us His blessing if we hold on to our sin and idolatry. Note how the revival expressed it self. They gathered together and prayed (vv. 5, 6). Spiritual life thrives on the gathering together of God's people. The crisis in Israel was met by a convocation of the people. We need to revive the great soul-stirring religious gatherings of a generation ago. Go yourself, and encourage others to RO. Let the fire of God burn, and let those who meet scatter far and wide as brands which will light new fires. "I will pray," said Samuel. He was a great intercessor (I. Sam. 15:11, Ps. 99:6; Jer. 15:1). Revival starts in the faithful intercession of a burdened heart. Should we not ask ourselves, "Have I really prayed for revival in my church, my city, and my country?" 111. A Nation Delivered (7:7-11). "Cry unto God ... he will save us," was the word of Samuel. They cried, and He did! "The Lord thun dered with a great thunder," and discomfited the enemies of Israel. In these days of warfare we might well cry out, "Lord, do it again," thunder upon our enemies and de feat them in such a way that they and we shall see that it was the hand of God and not of men! (See Ps. 20:7.) That is one thing for which we might well pray, for "behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear" (Isa. 59:1). Seeing Israel at prayer, the enemy took advantage of them and at tacked. In the previous battle at this very spot (see last Sunday's les son) Israel had been defeated be cause they had fought with the weapons of man. Now, with God's weapons of prayer and faith, they had glorious victory. IV. God's Mercy Remembered (7:12). Samuel raised a stone of remem brance, to remind Israel in the years to come that the Lord had been their help. A defeated, dis heartened, sinful people had turned to God in repentance and faith, and God had given them victory. They must never forget His mercy. One of the great concerns of think ing men in our day is the fear that victory may come to us before we are spiritually and morally read;' to receive it. If it does, we shall see a mad rush into excesses of ali kinds, a bold glorying in our owr ability and power, and even greatei forgetfulness of God. What America needs now is a deep going spiritual revival which wil both prepare us for a God-givei victory, and for the peace which ii to follow.

It's the simplest set to cut, sew and laun der you've ever seen. Most light bulbs have a life of from 1,000 to 3,000 hours. You will save bulbs and electricity by turn ing them off when not needed. Use good quality bulbs of the right j size for your needs: A 100-watt bulb gives more light, costs less to buy and less to operate than two 60-watt bulbs.

Jar upside down on the pantry ' shelves between trips to the ta ble. The alternate turning it re ceives this way helps keep the oil distributed through the entire jar. Try cutting the outside leaves of cauliflower into inch-long pieces, ; and, when done, creaming with white sauce. When making feather mattresses and pillow ticks, dampen a bar of laundry soap and rub all over the inside of the ticking. This pre vents the feathers from working out through the cover fabric. Pack all apples individually in newspapers before putting in a barrel. They keep better this way. Roads and Cities Were lluilt hy Salt and Incense Salt and incense were the chief economic and religous necessities of the ancient world, and most of its great commercial routes were established because of them. One of the oldest roads in Italy is the "Via Salaria." The salt route from Greece to the mouth of the Dnie per led to the same salt pans that supply the Far East today in nor mal times. It can be said that London was built by salt, for the first settle ment on the banks of the Thames owed its origin to the fact that there rested the pack-trains carry ing salt from Cheshire en route to the shores of the channel for ex port to Gaul. fp- Crispness you can hear/^ ii rf&C&fooSt RICE KRISPIES) ■ I • Kellogg's Rica Krispies equal the /£(■ Ml whole ripe grain in nearly all the / U Iff** [fLjL Ml protective food elements declared / fl/ / !'tr» -.1 !V 11 P.ittrm No 1988 is (*.*>• j • i • - «•» I. 2. 3. 4 and r» years s-/e I s,i d I met. requires l 1 * yards of .) : JJ-IVX Ii material; 6 yaids riciae trim. i Dti«* to an unusually larce do in and and cu:r»- t a.it c mditions. silently more tine i !••; 2 rr.l in tilling orders for a few of -t popular pattern numbers.
