Weekly Devotional Column By James 'Mackenzie The first service I ever conducted, and the very first sermon I preached, was in the Hosford Park Baptist Church in Gary, Indiana. After the sermon, about which nothing need now be said, one of the .deacons came to me to say, “There is a verse of Scrip ture I would like to leave with you. It is Philippians 4: 13.” On the train back to Chicago I looked the verse up, more out of curi osity than anything else. What I read changed my entire life, and gave me new couragp and assurance in per forming Christian work. Indeed, to this day I never get up to speak a word for Christ without reciting - Philippians 4:13 to myself, and claim ing its promise. It is one verse in the Bible I would recommend all pas tors, all Sunday School teachers, in deed, all Christians to learn by heart: “I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.” Can you' recite this verse with as surance? Have you experienced its truth? An elderly Pentecostal Holi ness minister in Detroit once told me that when he was young he would pray for hours for God to give him courage and strength to live for Christ, and to confess Him before men. Then one day he felt he heard the Lord answer, “Give you courage and strength ? Why you already have both.” “What do you mean?” my friend asked. Once again the voice of God came to him, “You have Jesus, and He is all sufficient.” In the second century a young Christian was taken before a pagan king, who ordered him to recant. The Christian refused. “If you don’t re nounce Christ I’ll have you banished,” threatened the king. “You can’t ban ish me from Christ,” came the cour ageous answer, “for He has promised that He will never leave me nor for sake me.” “Well, then if you refuse to disown Christ I’ll confiscate your property.” “My treasures are laid up in heav en, and you cannot lay your hands on them.” “Either curse Christ, or I’ll have you killed.” “You can’t take my life, for I have been dead for years—-dead to sin; and my life is hid with Christ in God, where you cannot touch it.” “Let him go!” roared the king. “What can you do with such a fa ( natic?” Christian, do you find it difficult to live and witness for your Saviour and Lord ? Trust no longer in your own ability. Instead, yield to the indwel ling Christ who is all sufficient for every challenge and every need of present day living. Learn to say with Paul, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Colerain Seaman To ' Return In August Ships of the 1963 Midshipman Prac tice Squadron now on their last four weeks of training operations will re turn to Norfolk, Va., in August.

Question: Are grazing crops really ! important for my chickens ? , Answer: Succulent green feed is ' one of natural and best feeds for poul ’ try. Providing an ample supply for . as great a portion of the year as pos | sible is an important phase of poul-l , try production. Some good green ' grazing crops: Ladino clover, alfal , fa, lespedeza, soybeans (especially good for turkeys), ryegrass and crim son clover. Others include ludzu, Ber- I muda grass, and other permanent pas ture plants in the summer, and small grains in the fall and spring. 1 Question: Is rotational grazing on native range practical? , Answer: As long as ranges are moderately grazed, farmers should . feel free to use them in the most con venient way. If, however, extra la , bor, fencing, and watering places are | required for rotational grazing, then continuous grazing would be more practical. Question: Just how should I place artificial lights in my chicken house? Answer: Lights stimulate egg lay ing. They have some influence on | yearly production and will help in crease the number of eggs during fail . and winter. Morning lights are the • most ponular of the many systems used. Place bulbs six feet above floors over feeders and waterers. Use a 40-watt bulb for every 200 square feet floor space. Reflectors should be 16 inches wide and four inches deep Do not increase or decrease length of ; day by more than 15 minutes. L’ghts on poultry ’and turkey breeders are profitable. Place lights on breeders three weeks before hatching eggs are . desired; on turkey breeders two weeks before placing in breeding pen. Question: How can I get rid of , Johnson Grass? * Answer: Following a thorough disking, during the early part of the growing season, apply 60 to 100 pounds of trichloroacetic acid equival ent to 40-50 gallons of water per acre. However, TCA renders the soil sterile for 30 to 90 days. , Question: Just what is required to l make cotton seed meet certified seed growers regulations ? Answer: Cotton seed must be pro duced from breeders seed or seconc generation certified seed. Question: Could you give me some l THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON. N. C..

Question: Is the electric light trap for the control of hornworm moths in number of worms nor the number of injured plants in a given area. Question: How can I control wild growths of honeysuckle? Answer: Research done so far tends to indicate that the use of such a light does not materially affect the tobacco practical? Answer: Honeysuckle can be fairly well controlled by the use of the equivalent of two pounds of 2, 4-D acid in 100 gallons of solution when the solution is applied as a wetting spray to the foliage. The amine form of 2, 4-D should be used. Be careful not to get any of the material on your flowers or ornamental plants. Question: How can I get rid of a swarm of bees in my house wall ? Answer: Clapboard buildings us ually afford excellent places for bees to settle. It is very easy to make the bees go away if discovered early. Simply use household spray, kerosene, gasoline or carbolic acid swabbed or sprayed around the entrance and the bees will take the hint and leave. If the swarm is of long standing, take away the queen. Question: How do I establish a sod waterway for natural drainage ?

Question: How can I control the root knot nematode in my vegetable garden ? Answer: Root-knot, caused by mic roscopic eelworms or nematodes is the most serious disease affecting summer vegetable crops in North Car olina.

Your county agent can give you complete details, but simply stated, the soil should be treated with ethylene di bromide, D-D mixture,' or Uramon. Question: How should I start my chicks ? Answer: Place feed before the chicks in the very beginning. Start heavy breed chicks on chick grains the first two days, then provide mash in the hoppers (3 to 3% pounds of feed will produce one pound of meat) News About Clubs I 1 In Chowan County By MRS.
