f DECEMBER 31, 1936 PLAN BETTER FEED FOR DAIRY COWS , Setting out black walnut seedI lings, or planting: the nuts in fertile spots about over the farm is a prof5 liable investment, according to R H. Page, ,#r., assistant extension. fftrfr'or r?~n.? F There is always a strong 0( inane! for black walnut timber, he said, and Uie nuts are valuable for home use and for sale. Confectioners pay good prices for these nuts. The supply of black walnut timber in the state is almost exhausted, Page continued, and farmers who renew the supply should be able to sell it at a high price. Walnuts grow best in deep, rich well-drained soil. Ditch and stream banks, fence and field corners, farm yards, and the borders of lanes and roadways are good places to raise these trees, he stated. It costs very little to plant the nuts or set out tlic seedlings, he pointed out, and the growing trees require but little attention. He recommends the fall or early spring as the best time to plant the nuts. Drop two nuts several inches apart and cover with about two inches of topsoil, firmly packed Scalp the ground clean of grass and weeds for a space a foot or two around the hole. Where trees are to be grown in single rows, as along a lane or stream, the trees may be spaced 25 feet apart. But where they are to be grown in groups, there should be 35 to 40 feet between the trees. Seedlings may be purchased for o lis-kul ? I n r, ^II - >J-J V.WVUI ?xv o. Ciiuuoauu, I<lf,U UUUVtt. Further information about the seedlings may be obtained from county farm agents over the state. FARM INVENTORY SHOWS ANNUAL PROGRESS MADE An annual inventory of farm property and equipment, together with a statement of liabilities, will show the. farmer where he stands, said Dr. O. \V. Forester, agricultural economist at State College. Tile difference between the assets and liabilities represents the equity V or ret worth of the farmstead, he ex'( i plained. Inventories taken the first of each year will also show the progress made from year to year as the farm is built up and improved, and will show the depreciation of buildings and equipment, Dr. Forester added. Often a farmer neglects his property and equipment, because he does not realize "now fust they are deteriorating. Annual Inventories will help focus hi.**..attention on the depreciation resulting from neglect, and will thus serve as a stimulus to taking better care of his property. In case of leases by fire, a carefully prepared inventory will reveal the value of tho assets destroyed. Such a record wilt be an aid in obtaining tlie proper adjustment from the Insurant company, when the lo3.se3 are covered by insurance. An inventory aiready prepared is an aid in securing credit, as most bankers and other credit agencies require a statement of assets and liabilities and of net gain or loss per year. Mo.eover, he stated, an inventoryis the starting point or basis for keeping farm accounts, and all good farmers keep accounts of their business. WALNUT TREES ARE DUAL SOURCE OF CASH INCOME A good New Year's resolution for dairy farmers is recommended by John A. Arey, extension dairy specialist at State College: "Let's begin the year right by resolving to give our dairy cows good care and plenty of good feed all through the year." Uncomfortable cows fed on rations that are deficient in quality and quantity cannot produce all the good, rich milk they should, he emphasized.! "Wo dor.'t expect efficient service : from work stock housed in uncomfortable quarters and fed barely a j maintenance ration,'" he said. "Why expect more of a dairy cow which has a more difficult function to perform and is less able to stund adverse weather than animals carrying more flesh ? 'Let us resolve further that during the year our cows will receive an adequate amount of a good grain mixture properly balanced with the roughage in their diet." If the supplv of routrhas-c for- thia winter is short, resolve that this shall not happen again, Arey urged. ; i'ure out how much roughage will needed next whiter, then plant > PA0DYi , FOR WORK A J HE. OUR CAR, HOUSE OF HAZARDS Jo oy //fiy Mac Arthur tJIIw Morrill, ocean flyer and pilot of a Mia slide'* in a forced landing on the mour feet of underbrush and small trees ai Merrill, with broken jaw, suffered th [ enough legumes and silage crop3 to ; supply the herd. ! There should be at least two tons , of hay and four tons of silage for each mature cow in the barn. Non-leguminous crops such as corn , stover, grass hays, and the like may ! be used to supplement the legumes, but should not be used as a complete substitute for them. Since high production is an in- ; horent characteristic, all dairy farm-', crs should resolve to use only good production bred hulls, and to test; > both dams and daughters to deter- | mine Urn ability of the bull to trans-j. mit high producing capacity to his , daughters. Upper Meat Camp News r The children and grandchildren of j Mr. Noah Winebargcr met at his j1 home on Christmas day and set him j" a real Christmas dinner, celebrating 11 the anniversary of his coming birth- j day, which will be February 17.

O. { Schaub, of State College. Farmers will lie encouraged to j grow fewer money crops and more jrops for soil-conservation and for i preventing food and feed for home ! consumption, he pointed out. Larger soil-conserving crop bases will be established, he added, and ' there will be stricter regulations rc- | yarding the minimum acreage of con- j serving crops required. The minimum payment any farm j will be allowed to earn has been in- I creased from $10 to $20. and it may ; be earned by carrying out soil-build- j Ing practices or reducing cash crop acreage or both. The rate of payment per acre for carrying out soil-building practices will be in line with those paid this year. Growers will not l>o encouraged to iivert their base acreages of soxlicplcting crops, but when considered advisable, county committees will authorize them to do so. Payments for these diversions may be slightly less than they were this year. Soil-depleting crop base acreages | Tor each farm this year will be car- | rid over into 1937, with such minor j aljustmonts as may be necessary to ' correct inequalities. More consideration will be given lairy farmers, truck growers and: nchardisls, tlie dean also pointed mt Our Present Need T| HAT mankind la urgently In i need of something, all will ad- < mit. But people differ when they come to analyze ibis need ar.d pre- 5 scribe the remedy. Some, say that the need is for money; others, for J better management and government; j and still others, for shorter working . hours and more leisure. The invalid's need is for health; the sinner's for i goodness and peace; those who ap- < i<cai iu o? pusiiiug oq ror mora abundant ilfe. Humanity's diversified < wants and desires make us think of ] the reply Martha received from Jesus ? (Luke 10:41, 42): "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled ; about many things: but one thing is < needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken ; away from her." What is the one thing that is ; needful? Is It not Mary's spiritual 1 adaptability and receptivity? Spirit- | ual understanding i3 an absolute | requisite if wo are to escape the . woes, injustices, and ills of sense. ] On page 151 of "Science and Health , with Key to the Scriptures" Mary , Baker Eddy has written, "Infinite . Mind could not possibly create a remedy outside of itself, but erring, finite, human mind has an absolute need of something beyond itself for its redemption and healing." . . . A childlike willingness to allow omniscient Love to control all our thoughts would do much to eliminate the errors which occur in human calculations. Sometimes we are j afraid to let go, lest we suffer from [ >.nv 1 vvu.i, uui. ovui VU1 to 1UI ua with an ability far exceeding our present apprehension. The forces and j capacities of immortal Life are always operating, and we should ex- i perience Love's benevolence more often if we would only exclude greed, envy, rivalry, and fosr from our j thought.

Our j first need Is not so ntacn for im~ 1 proved conditions as it is Tor a clear j realization that infinite Mind b'su* \ absolute control over every function, i activity, and ?*vpTe*sior- oz real be- J i:ur: that this control exists here and now: '' . .. and r?il results e?f this divine f^yrernraent are narmony ahsl good works. ?nd that, therefore, it aught else claims to exist it i.-- out supposititious. ;vitvijan conditions arc a result of this huov.n:::. for spiritual understanding scientifically improve our human conditions and unfolds limitless expression- of goodness. v. e r.cod ?" cultivate spiritual j sense. which lifts human conscious- ; iiess above the errosv or corporeal j sense and discerns the divine atid , unchangeable fac's of being. Wo i need to understand that evil is noih- j log and nobody, that i? has no Intel- I ligeuce or powir, no influence. no ( avenue- or medium through which to j resell and disturb or injure us. We ! need to keep in rnlhd that error is \ not an entity, but is simp!? an tllu- | sion. with no more influence or sway than we giv?; it by our belief in it. ! Christian Science shows us conclu- | siveiy that we are not the victims of so-called material laws, from which ; there is no escape, i at rather that ! we are, in reality, the eternal chil- ! dren of the loving Father, who bless- ! es, sustains, and maintains all that reflects Hiiu. The fact must be learned that the creation of eternal Truth, the only creation there is, i3 wholly good; that spiritual law controls all real action, attraction, and I power, and that every effect of this I law is harmonious and necessary; j and that man Is the essential, spirit- ! ual, eternal manifestation of in- ! finite Life. It may be summed tip that our i present need Is to acknowledge God, j eternal Life, mere in our human affairs, to obey the injunction, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding" (Proverbs 3:5). There is no other way to solve the problem of health and happiness, of production, of distribution, of economic equality. Only by acting in accordance with divine Principle can we maintain good works, overcome the false sense of overproduction and tsnderproduc o.wl nw^i.h. nKi.m1nn?

The I recognition ot Soul's presence and I nllnesa alone will destroy the human j fear ot lack, disease, and disaster, by ' revealing the unlimited, indestructible nature or substance and reality ?ot health and harmony. God provides His image, mat., with all that is necessary for sustenance and harmonious continuity; and our need is spiritually to apprehend tills fact and apply it in solving our Ur.inau problems.?
