The most vital need of our time is to broaden the scope and enlarge the horizon of Christian ethics; in a word, to realize the Kingdom in all life. For today the larger part of human life is untouched by Jesus' gospel. Henry Kendall Booth The Great Galilean Returns, Scritner'.s. Seek ye first the kiugdorh of God, and his righteousness. Matthew 6 :33. A Long and Honorable Record (IN July 1 of the present year M. D. Billings will " retire as superintendent of schools for Macon county after serving the schools for 40 years, eight years as teacher and principal, and 32 years con tinuously as county superintendent. This is a record of service which has been equal- ; Jed by few officials in North Carolina or elsewhere, and embraces the entire pericx during which the common schools of the state progressed from hap hazard methods, little money and few trained teach ers, to; the modern, highly efficient and constantly expanding system of today. And in that progress Mr. Billings has had a large part. He will leave the office after many years-of work well done, and his retirement will be felt with deep regret by hundreds of our citizens who have been educated under his supervision. "A Very Constructive Job" HP,HE record of the 1939 session of the General A Assembly was aptly characterized by Governor Hoey as a "very constructive job." i While many institutions and departments of the state failed to. receive all the funds asked for, the appropriation bill carries substantial increases all along the line, and the legislators prorated what they had to spend in a way that will no doubt prove satisfactory to the majority of the people. The appropriation measure is the largest in the history of the state, but the large increase in in come tax returns seems to indicate that all depart ments will go through , the next biennium without a deficit. In the matter of health,, te jaws requiring phy sical examination of both parties before marriage, and blood tests for expectant mothers, will aid in the state's anti-syphilis campaign. The abolition of absentee voting in primary elec tions and doing away with professional markers in all elections will go far foward the prevention of scandals and the charges of crookedness which are heard after every political campaign. The teacher retirement bill failed to pass, but a Workable measure will probably be enacted at the next session. Taken altogether, the work of the Assembly was constructive and progressive, and will be approved by the voters. ".

Williams, head of the agronomy department of State col lege, recommends ; soybean meal as a .source of organic nitrogen in mixed fertilizers. He points out that it is cheaper than many other standard sources of this most neces sary part of fertilizer . formulas. In answer t6 numerous, questions about the value and comparative cost of soybean meal, Prof. Wil liams issued the following state ment ; "During the past month a goodly number of inquiries have come to me with reference to the value of soybean meat as a source of organic nitrogen in mixed fertilisers. From the information which is available, this mateial is an excellent source, standing in excellence with such standard tarrters as' cottonseed meal, fish scrap and drid blood.' '"From quotations which I secur ed, the nitrogen contained in soy bean meal, retailing at $27 pec ton, Cost lft cents per pound while th,e nitrogen derived from cottonseed meal at' $29 per ton cost 21 cents pef pound. "A considerable tonnage of soy beans have been crushed by the cotton oil mills of the state thU year, making available their fine source of organic nitrogen for use Muse's Comer by North Carolina farmers. At present prices, .so far as our infor mation goes, soybean meal is the cheapest source of organic nitrogen and cottonseed meal is next.
