- kt JAMES rt. GRIFFIN, Soil Coaawrrallmlat
V 4 Clarence 8. Chappell, Hert
ford, & C., has a new conser
vation plan for his farm here
j in Chotvan County. Mr. Chap
pell hflis been a cooperator of
the Albemarle Soil Conserva
tion District since December,
J 952. lie found that most of
his farm needed cover crop al
most every j year according to
the capability of the soils. He
planned rye, rye-vetch and
crimson clover in his cropping
, systems. A four-year rotation
was planned for his peanut
; acreage using the best land on
the farm according to the re
cent, soil survey.
I" Mr. Chappell, having an in
terest ih improving his wood
lands, set up in his plan a
schedule for improving his
woods. Saleable hardwoods will
be sold and some of the scat-
mature pine. “Weed
trees” will be poisoned using
2-4-5 T in 1962.
One strip of young pines will
be left between two fields for
windbreak. A W-ditch will
be constructed to drain surface
water and prevent erosion in
one field.
2,435 feet Os six-inch drpin
tile was installed the first part
of this year. This system was
running about one-half full last
week. Mr. Chappell says that
he can tell a big difference in
his soil since the tile has been
installed. He planned tile drain
age for several other fields. A
schedule for installing this tile
was included in his conserva
tion plan.

saved money by being a dis
trict cooperator. A soil survey
was made of his farm in prepa
ration to revising his conserva
tion plan which was prepared
in 1948 and out-dated.
This spring, Mr. Wood decid
ed he needed some drainage in
one of his fields he was plan
ning peanuts this year. He sign
ed up at the local ASC office
for cost-share assistance for tile
drainage. A check of his soil
survey map showed that the
field in question didn’t need
drainage because the soil was
well-drained and moderately
well-drained. A check of the
field revealed that the problem
was excess surface water col
lecting in the low spots. Rows
were running own hill and
bringing all the water which
fell on the field to one spot.
With some changes in the row
system and an interceptor drain
the problem will be solved.
The land treatment will stop
the erosion, too. Mr. Wood sav
ed the cost of about 2,000 feet
of tile or about SBOO.
He, is now in the process of
revising his conservation plan
on Hayes farm. He recently
constructed 40 feet firebreaks in
the woodlands on Hayes. Wild
life food strips will be planted
on each side of the firebreaks.
A heavy tractor with K-G blade
was used to construct the fire
breaks.
Feed-Grain Program
Farmers are encouraged to
participate in this new program.
•It will accomplish two or more
purposes. First, you will help
to reduce the grain now in stor
age. Secondly, you will have
an opportunity to get in some
good soil conservation practices.
You can improve your soil and
protect, your future. Don’t leave
your land bare but use a soil
building summer cover crop.
You might want to get in part
of your drainage system while
crops are off the land.

i fully, but this larger God turn
ed out to be the real comfort
er to Job.
Job’s decision to trust God
J even when he could not under-
I stand why such affliction had
; come upon him in such great
imeasure reminds us that such
an attitude is productive both
of character and of inner peace.
When overtaken by adversity
that we do not deserve, we
must do more than accept il
without self-pity and rebeilion.
We must believe that God in
his mercy is with us and will
help us use it for good.
A world that makes possible
the growth of human beings re
quires freedom. And a world
that permits freedom makes
suffering, even the suffering of
the innocent, inevitable. It is
virtually impossible to have a
safe, snug, comfortable world
that shuts out all possibilities
of trouble and pain, and at the
same time one that provides hu
man beings with opportunities
for growth towards maturity,
fulfillment, and all that is
meant by life as exemplified so
magnificently by Jesus Christ.
But, as the memory of the
cross reminds us, suffering need
not have the last word. It can
be made a servant for good,
even our greatest good.
The problem of suffering, es
pecially that which involves the
innocent, is a big, thorny ques
tion. There can be no easy,
smooth answers. We can be
sure of this, however: When
suffering, trouble, and affliction
for which we can find no just
reason come to us, at least we
can know we are not being
punished by a wrathful God.
Even When We suffer, we can
believe, as Job did, that God is
alive, that we have a Redeemer,
; and that in the end We will
know he lias been serving our
good. More than that, we can
turn to the assurance of the
cross and realize that there is
with us a God of love who will
help us use our suffering for
great good. Therefore we un
derstand what James meant
when he wrote: “Blessed is
Die man who endures trial, for
j when he has stood the test he
I will receive the crown of life
| which God, has promised to
