Soil Conservation
Week May 7-14
Continued from Page L Section 1
God for His bounty and asking
for His continued blessings, has
spread throughout the world. !
In America, too, Rogation Days
are on the calendar of many
churches.
Fifteen years ago a renewed
and more widespread interest!
in this observance was fostered,
in the United States by the pub- |
lishers of Farm and Ranch j
Magazine. They suggested to a
few religious leaders that one
Sunday in each year be recog
nized nationally as a time to re
mind all church congregations of
man’s obligations to his Creator
in being a good steward of his !
soil and water possessions. The 1
magazine offered publications
containing selected Biblical quo
tations, sermon suggestions and
references to other source ma
terial.
Layman Assist
These ideas were so warmly
received by ministers and lay
men that by 1954 the observance

had grown to n ationwide pro- ,
portions. Among the leading
laymen who worked for this
goal were the non-salaried Soil
Conservation District officials in
all the states. Knowing first
hand of the importance of man’s
relationship and dependence up
on soil and water, these farm
ers and ranchers with the lead
ership of their clergy were help
ful in reawakening a spiritual
response to an often neglected
obligation.
In 1954 the publishers of Farm
and Ranch Magazine offered to
relinquish their limited sponsor
ship of Soil Stewardship Sun
day, later Soil Stewardship
Week, to the National Ai socia
tion of Soil Conservatior Dis
tricts, an organization whose
prime purpose is the conser zation I
and development of lan 1 and
water resources of the lation
through organized local com
munity effort.
Leadership From The Cl< rgy
Since that time, the N VSCD
has relied heavily on the ; idvice
and leadership of ns tional
church leaders. Each year these
clergymen help prepare sug
gested materials for Soil Stew
ardship Week. These materials
are available in most instances
through each of the 2,900 Soil
Conservation Districts in the na
tion or directly from the NASCD
Service Department in League
City, Texas.
At present the Advisory Com
mittee is composed of Dr. E. W.
Mueller, National Lutheran
Council; the Rev. William David
son, Associate Secretary, the Na
tional Council Protestant Episco
pal Church; the Rev. J. G. Web
er, Executive Secretary, Na
tional Catholic Rural Life Con
ference; Dr. Henry McCanna,
Director, Department of Town
and Country, National Council of
Churches, and Dr. Lewis New
man, Southern Baptist Conven
tion.
The local observance of Soil
Stewardship Week is sponsored
by the Albemarle Soil Conserva
tion District in cooperation with
the churches and ministers with
:in the district. Local district
1 supervisors, L. C. Bunch, Fahey
By rum and J. A. Webb, Jr., hope
many people will attend the
churche of their choice on May
7 or 14 and remember to be a
good steward.
Literature and materials for
the locaL observance has been
I supplied by the Albemarle Soil
! Conservation District.

ings, and yet have a richness
of spirit, a deep inner content,
that is denied to his more for
tunately placed brother.
Blessed are the persons who
seek first the kingdom of heav
en, who are rich toward God
as was Jesus Christ. Blessed
are they who can glory in a
saving . knowledge of God
through Jesus Christ—who, like
Job, no longer know by hear
say, but by personal experience.
These people have riches, that
are rare. They feel at home in
the universe. They feel secure
in the knowledge that they are
known and treasured, wanted
and loved. They know Some
one whose wisdom is omnisci
ent, whose power is omnipotent,
whose righteousness is absolute,
whose justice is perfect, whose

Both weed and grass seedlings are readily controlled in pea
nuts with Premerge*-and at low cost. A treatment with
Premerge now gets plants off to a good start toward bigger
yields, and reduces the need for early cultivations. This is
especially important during wet springs when cultivation is
difficult or impossible, and when there is greater danger of
soil compaction. Premerge is a time-tested and proven farm
herbicide. Get Premerge today for a better peanut crop!

mercy is unfailing, and whose
name is Love.
God does not* eliminate the
problems of such people, there
by making it a case of smooth
sailing through life. He does,
however, help solve their prob
lems. He does not give them
immunity from trouble. In God
they find resources with which
to meet and master trouble, as
Job did. God does not spare
men from peril, hardships and
suffering. He enables them to
use the thorns and goads of life
for growth in wisdom, courage
and love. Arid should they in
folly wander into error and
peril, the Shepherd with nail
pierced hands ever seeks them
with promptings of truth and
holiness. Should they in blind
perversity fall into sin, there
is One who hung on a cross,
who awakens remorse, speaks
pardon, and offers grace for a
new beginning.
A summons to love God as
we know him in Jesus Christ
speaks through all that is nob
lest in vis. Only as we aiwwgr

quite unexpectedly we shall find

naires—in the only way thit
