W. Overman. A large number of farmers have purchased Arasan from local dea lers for treating seed peanuts on their farm themselves. By cooper ation with each other in handling the seed treating process, the cost to the farmers was about 20 cents per pound or a cost of seven cents an acre. For three successive years there has been an increase in the treat ment of seed peanuts by farmers each year as tests made several including K. J. Copeland, of Ty ner, have conclusively proven that the process protects the seed from fungus diseases and decay that) attack the seeds after it is in the ground. Communities visited this week where seed peanuts were treated includes Valhall, Oak Grove, Cen ter Hill, Rocky Hock, Small Cross Roads, Ryland, Snow Hill and Gli- den. Last yearthere were about 12,- 000 acres of peanuts planted in this county but this year because of critical labor short-sr it is believed that there wi’ little over 11,000 acres planish. County Agent Overman in visit ing the communities carried five 50-gallon oil drums and other ma terials for the farmers to cooper ate at the community centers fori treating their own seed peanuts I thus greatly reducing the cost.

Greater Love Urged By Carroll at Berea Great love has the man who will lay down his life for his friends but greater love than this had Jesus Christ who gave his life for his enemies, declared the Rev. W. V. Carroll Sunday morning in his first sermon as pastor of the Berea Baptist Church. Following a program by 4-H Club boys and girls which includ ed the invocation, scripture read ing, the club creed, and taking of flic offering Mr. Carroll delivered his sermon: Died In Battle, His Only Son. He reminded his congregation that the Southern Baptist Con vention, of which it is a part, was organized May 8, 1845, and will therefore be one hundred years old tins week. The fact that he arrived at his new home Thursday was just completing the task of unpacking precluded the hold- ing of a celebration of versary Sunday but he members to think with ing the coming week goal of the Baptists during centennial, the enlistment million souls for Christ. Similar Battles “God so loved the world the anni- asked the him dur- upon the their of a that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have ever- lasting life,” quoted Mr. Carroll and added that the battle in which Christ died and that in which many young men are giving their lives today were similar in many respects. The battle of right against wrong was the struggle in which Christ gave his all and it remains today a struggle of right against wrong on the battlefields of the world, he asserted. He told how a pastor had been called to the home of a member of his church to find the man brooding over the loss of his only son on the field of battle. The father had not been too strong a member of the church of God. he said, and the pastor feared that this .might completely fill his soul with doubt and hate. When the pastor went in . to talk with the man he told him to remember tha t God gave his only son in history’s greatest battle that others might have life and have it more abun dantly. Similarly, said the pastor, this only son had died on the bat tlefield in the cause of righteous ness that others might live. “The battles of today are hard and cruel.” the new nastor 'de clared. “Those of Jesus’ day were Gethsemane He faced trouble and won over it. On the cross He died but He won for His cause ever lasting victory. “Greater love hath no.man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends But greater love than this had God, who not only gave his only son for his friends but for his enemies as well. You may know a friend for whom you would lay down your life but arc you so much concerned about your enemies? That is the test of love which Jesus Christ passed.” Mr. Can-oil is how making his home at 73 B Enfield Apartments. Church services are being held in the Enfield Community Building pending completion of the new Be rea Church on Newland Road, on the. site of the old church which was destroyed by fire November. 24, 1944. The church is not ex pected to be completed before the first of the year, but it is hoped that construction, which was be gun last week, will have reached a point where services can be held in the new structure by Christ mas.
