Lesson Text: Exodus 20:9-10: Ec -9 clesiastes 9:10; Ephesians 4:28;: I Colossians 3:22 through 4:1; | II Thessalonians 3:6-12. [ The lesson we are studying to [ day emphasizes the Christian's re- 1 [ sponsibility to seek justice in dai- j 9 ly work. It shows how our atti- j | tudes and deeds are important in | maintaining just standards of ac-| k tion in this significant area of hu-j j man life. Some of us live under the im-1 nression that work a curse laid 9 upon the human race by God . . I | a mistaken idea often formed | from a misunderstanding of the l story of the Garden of Eden. I Work is not a curse, but a bless- j » ing to man. Through work we I humans can express ourselves— j i we can bring out the best that is i I in us. Through work we not only j | apply ourselves, either through, f our brains, or hands, or both, to I making a living for ourselves and | 9 our loved ones, providing food. ( I shelter and clothing and all the I other necessary adjuncts to daily, I living: through work and toil, ex ? perimentation and disappoint- [ ADEQUATE STORAGE FACILITIES CITED [AS KEY TO PROFIT FROM CORN IN N.C. 1 The construction of more and j I better storage facilities has been [ w cited as the best way for North I Carolina farmers to take advan | tage of this year’s bumper corn L crop. I Everett Nichols, grain market- I ing specialist for the N. C. Agri- I cultural Extension Service, points j ? out that Tar Heel farmers are) ■ expected to grow a near record i breaking 78 million bushels of | corn this year, t The production figure will top J last year’s harvest by 31 per ? cent and push the average yield f per acre to 43 bushels—the high. I est yield ever obtained in North a Carolina. I The corn market, traditionally I glutted at harvest time, is ex c pected to sink to even lower jT prices this year under the weight 1 of biggrr supplies. I “Now, in view of these facts 3 a farmer has one of three choic- I es,” Nichols declared. “He can I either sell his corn at harvest t time, store it with or without a | CCC loan or feed it to livestock.” i If the farmer chooses to sell [ his corn immediately, he must 3 take into consideration the lower I prices at harvest time. A sur- I vev of com prices from 1953 to I 1957 shows that the rise from! f the harvest low to the market j f high some 8-10 months later has) I averaged 30 cents per bushel, a “This is the average price rise,” I Nichols emphasized. The maxi- j I mum difference in prices may ( I run as high as 45 cents per j bushel as it has done this year.” J If the farmer accepts one of I the two remaining choices— a holding his corn for a higher I market or feeding it to live- I stock—then a storage operation t J is involved. ? “And a survey has shown,” I Nichols added, “that a grain stor- I age facilities are not adequate.” 3 North Carolina ships 20 per I cent or more of its corn out of the I state each year when prices are 1 low and then buys it back a few t months later when prices are ? high. f Nichols believes there are manyi 1 farmers who would proft byj 3 erecting a 1,000-bushel steel stor- 1 I age bin. I “Such a bin would cost about I | $400.” Nichols said. “It would \ r last 25 to 30 years. Repair costs I would be small, if any; and there! I would be no loss of com to rats.”, a For farmers desiring to con | struct such a bin, the federal gov- I emment will provide a loan cov- I ing up to 80 per cent of the cost * The loan interest rate is 4 per cent. Taking Into consideration de- I preciation, interest, insurance and taxes, Nichols figures a 1,000- bushel bin would be profitable if , the fanner stores 350 bushels of * com each year and is able to get 20 cents more per bushel by hold ing it beyond harvest time. . If larger amounts are stored, then the bin would become even more profitable. For farmers , with 200 to 300 bushels of com I available each year.

THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4. 19M. ments, some of the greatest bene fits to mankind have come into [ existence, and these are truly a I service to God. 1 We are all familiar with the | fact that one of the Ten Com mandments sets forth the neces ' sity of refraining from work on the Sabbath day. (Exodus 20:9- 10) but we sometimes forget that ■ the same commandment has a 1 very positive instruction: “Six days shalt thou labor, and do all your work.” Both parts of this commandment must be fulfilled if life is to be completely satisfying. ■ The observance of the Sabbath j provides a time for the worship of God and also for man’s rest It is, in effect, an expression of j God’s justice to man. We need | rest as well as labor. By the same token, just as God has expressed justice to us, as | God’s servants we must express justice to each other in our daily ; labors. Those of us who are em ployers are entitled to an honest I day’s work for an honest day’s i pay, and to the best that is in the I employee. To do a really good j piece of work is great service. | Someone has observed concerning 1 the occasion when Paul was let ' down in a basket over the walls | of Damascus, thus escaping from his enemies: “Somebody made a ' good rope!” Think what that ropemaker’s labor meant to the history of the world and to the history of Christianity: In the j ing specialist at N. C. State Col : lege, suggest that when farmers build their new bins, they in clude sufficient equipment for drying their grain. “Com producers can also store their crop under the government's Commodity Credit Corp. (CCC) | loan program,” Nichols added. ! The program works this way: At the time the grower puts his corn under the loan program, he is paid for the amount stored at the current rate of $1.49 per bush el, if he lives in one of the state’s 32 commercial com producing counties. If he lives in a non commercial county, he gets $1.12 per bushel. If at any time during the stor age period and prior to the term of the loan date, he can repay the loan, plus 3'z per cent interest, he can reclaim his corn. At the end of the loan period, if the loan has not been repaid, the government takes over the corn and ships it to government storage. With lower prices predicted for swine, some farmers are asking if it will be profitable to feed their corn to hogs. Guy R. Cassell, livestock mar keting specialist for the N. C. Ag- I ricultural Extension Service, says j he expects the corn-hog ratio to remain favorable into the first j quarter of 1959. “In fact,” Cassell added, a “sur j vey of hog prices since 1934 has , shown that there have not been many months that a farmer could not profit by feeding his corn to hogs.” Prices are also expected to make it profitable to feed corn to other livestock. r 'V -.
