North Carolina broiler,
turkey and egg producers
are expected to continue to
enjoy a good price for their
products as 1974 begins, but
the year may end on a less
favorable note.
Much depends on feed
supplies, cost of feed and
competitive positions with
other meat products.
North Carolina State
University extension
economists believe broiler
marketings will be about 2
percent larger in the first
quarter than in the same
period a year ago.
Marketings may be up 3 to 4
percent in spring and early
summer.
Wholesale prices for
dressed broilers are ex
pected to average 40 cents a
pound in the first half of the
New Year, or 4 cents above
the first quarter, and 2.5
cents under the second
quarter of 1973.

Further expansion in

come after mid-year,
provided feed prices don't
climb sharply from early
1974 levels and assuming
that broiler prices hold
favorable.
The NCSU economists
believe Tar Heel broiler
production will increase
nearly 4 percent during the
year.
Turkey production in the
state may grow by 10 to 15
percent. Turkey prices are
expected to be relatively
strong early but decline
sharply in the second half of
the year.
Egg production will be up
slightly. Farm prices for
ungraded eggs are expected
to average 42-44 cents a
dozen during the first six
months.

.with expressions of deep
regret., Div John W.

LABORATORY FOR
SOIL ANALYSIS REMAINS
HERE: A reorganization of
the old Eastern Cotton Oil
Co., which many years
owned and operated a large
plant in Hertford, and which
sold its holdings in Hertford
to the Southern Cotton Oil
Co., last year, has resulted
in not only a change in name
of the company to that of
Eastern Fertilizer Corp.,
but in a change in the
business, which, as the new
name implies, will deal
exclusively in fertilizer.
Hertford will be
headquarters for the sale of
the Eastern's fertilizers in
this territory, with Reed &
Felton as distributors, and
the chemical laboratory will
remain in Hertford. T. B.
Sumner, representing the
Elizabeth City branch of the
business, who has charge of
this territory, stated this
week that Reed & Felton, as
distributors for Perquimans
and Chowan counties, will
keep in their Hertford
warehouses a complete line
of the goods manufactured

CEPTS POSITION IN
EDENTION.
By MARION SWINDELL
We have all heard of the
wonderful way Luther
Burbank, the California bo
tanist, succeeded in freeing
flowers and fruits from
their original bad qualities.
He grew a walnut without
tannin, and freed it from
its disagreeable taste; de
veloped a dahlia with a
pleasant instead of a dis-'
agreealle odor; produced
plums and apricots without
stones; and evolved Ihron
less cacti.
Can man be freed of all
his faults of constitution,
habit and training? They
do it every day.
These changes are
brought on without the
skillfulness and knowledge
of men like Burbank. It is
the result of the individual
efforts and the search for
strength to overcome!
How? By earnestly and
honestly seeking -this
strange and wonderful
strength can always be
found.

LIGHT FOR THE BLIND
(John:l-7; 35-41).
The noted Christian
author and educator
William Barclay said, "The
tremendous thing about
Jesus is that the more we
know Him the greater He
becomes. The trouble with
human relationships is that
it so often happens the
better we know a person the
more we know his
weaknesses, his faults, his
failings, his feet of clay; but
the more we know Jesus, the
greater the wonder
becomes; and that will be
true, not only in time, but
also in eternity." We have
learned in past lessons that
Jesus was the water of life
and bread for the hungry.
Today we shall see Him as
the light of the world. We
shall see Him giving light
for the blind.
The Bible passage calls
our attention to a problem.
A PROBLEM,
JOHN 9: 1-7
As Jesus and His disciples
went along their way they
saw a man who had been
blind from birth. This would
have been a common sight
in Jerusalem during the
days of Jesus' earthly
ministry. His blindness
posed no problem for the
disciples of Jesus. They, like
so many of us today, had
learned to look upon human
tragedy without being un
duly disturbed. This did give
them an opportunity to pull
Jesus into a discussion of
theological speculation. At
least they thought so. Their
question was, "Master, who
did sin, this man, or his

'9
parents, that he was born
blind?"
Jewish theologians held
different views concerning
this problem. Some believed
that one could actually
begin to sin while he was
still in his mother's womb.
Others believed in the pre
existence of the soul. They
believed these pre-existent
souls could be either good or
bad. Some actually believed
that it was possible to bring
affliction to the body by sins
committed before birth.
Then there was the idea
that the sins of the parents
were carried over to the
children.
Jesus refused such an
swers to bodily affliction. It
is not uncommon in our
modern day for people to
misunderstand why they are
afflicted. It is easy to feel
that God is punishing me for
some wrong committed
sometime in the past. How
wonderful it is to hear Jesus
say that this isn't so. Jesus
sees in this an opportunity
for God to manifest His love
to broken humanity.
This also enabled Jesus to
remind His disciples, and
us, that time was running
out. The day comes an end.
Night cometh. The time
comes to every man when
his day of opportunity is
past. The attitude of Jesus is
here shown,"As long as I am
in the world, I am the light
of the world."
Jesus goes on to
demonstrate His willingness
to share this light with men.
He made clay of the spittle,
and anointed the eyes of the
blind man with the clay. We

do not know why He did this,
unless it was to enable the
man to exercise faith. The
man did respond in faith as is
seen by his obedience to the
instructions of Jesus.
Our Bible passage also
centers on LaPerson.
c r A PERSON,
JOHN 9: 35-38
When Jesus later found
the man who had been
healed excluded from the
synagogue, He confronts
him with a question. Jesus'
question concerns the man's
faith in the Son of God. "Do
you believe on the Son of
God?" This is the question
every' man must face and
give ' his response. God's
salvation is a free gift of His
grace but man appropriates
this gift by his response of
faith. It is important, it is
essential for men to believe
on God's Son.
The man did not know who
the Son of God was, but he
was open minded. Such a
significant question called
forth his best attention.
"Who is He, Lord, that I
might believe on him?" The
answer comes back im
mediately, "The very one
who is talking with you."
The man exercised God
given faith and bowed
before Jesus saying "Lord,
I believe."
Our final Bible passage
suggests a Purpose.
A PURPOSE,
JOHN 9: 39-41
The coming of Jesus into
the world as the light of the
world demanded a response
on the part of man. Men's
attitude toward the Person
of Jesus Christ will deter

mine whether they see or
their blindness be sealed.
There is a warning in this
passage. Even the religious
leaders were so blind they
were unable to see in Jesus
their promised Messiah.
Here in these final verses,
is the 'discussion of the most
serious kind of blindness.
The Pharisees were blind
spiritually. Their blindness
was a moral blindness. Had
they been born morally
blind, they would have had
no responsibility. Their sin
was in refusing the light. No
man can escape this light.
No man should want to. This
light brings life to all who
turn to it in trust.
BIBLE QUESTION
FOR THIS WEEK
"What does the term
reckoned" mean in Romans
4:3?
ANSWER:
The term comes from an
old verb meaning to set
down accounts. To set down
on the credit side of the
ledger. Abraham's
believing God "booked" him
as righteous.
