MEDITATION
"At first there was no one to help Jesus to bear His cross;
though fainting from loss of rest and from the gashing and
lacertation of His body by the scourge, and still more from the
untold anguish through which lie had been passing, lie yet
had to carry His cross for Himself until nature gave way. Yet
we must remember that while Jesus had to bear the cross un
aided. it really was not for Himself that He bore it, but for us.
He endured the shame and pain, and staggered beneath the
awful burden, that He might set us free from the burden of
sin's curse. The Baptist said, when Jesus passed by him at the
beginning of His ministry, 'Behold the Lamb of God, which
takelh away the sin of the world!' We may say the same
words as we see Jesus bearing His cross. That is what He is
doing. It was not the mere wood that was so heavy: the real
load which Jesus bore that day was the mountain of our sins.
It was this that made Him faint and sink down by the way. and
that wrung from Him such cries and tears in Gethsemane and
on Calvary."

On a recent survey made with
the 105 families with whom she
works in Cherokee and Clay Coun- 1
lies. Mrs Margaret J. Carringer.
FHA home supervisor, found that
l he families in these two counties
had canned 35.660 quarts of vege- 1
tables. 19.000 quarts of fruits and l
H.312 quarts of meats, making a
total ot 58.022
The meat and iard shortage last
summer taught FHA families
throughout these two counties to
have their meat and shortening at
home A total of 350 hogs were
killed and 70.700 pounds of meat
stored.
A number of these families
have enough onions, potatoes,
pumpkins, carrots and dried fruits '
;nd vegetables stored to last them

Our County
FARM and HOME AGENTS
Every farmer in Cherokee coun
ty who plans to feed as many as
eight or ten head of cattle next
winter should take immediate steps
to make silage part ol' his ration.
Silage is one of the cheapest feeds
that can be produced on the farm.
It is succulent, high in vitamin
A", and has a conditioning effect
not found in dry roughage. In ad
dition to being an excellent feed
tor beef cattle, it increases the
winter production of milk cows.
The present high cost of material
r-nd labor is keeping many farmers
from constructing permanent up
right silos. Other farmers do not
feed silage because they cannot buy
or secure the services of a cutter.
In order to over come these dif
ficulties. the County Farm Agents
are recommending that farmers
make use of temporary, welded
wire, silos. The initial cost and up
keep on these silos is very low and
they will last for several years if
properly car^d for. These silos
is very low and they will last for |
several years if properly cared for.
These silos have been tried in
Cherokee county and have proven
I
highly successful. The services of
cutters will be made available to
i all farmers needing them.

i Agents.

IF YOUR SCOUT is late this'
week blame it on the "flu" bug
which has bitten several members
of the staff, and also so many
school children and others in the
county this week. Jeanne Stiles
has been out three days with flu;
Mrs. Savage also has it; and Thurs
day, the day that requires more
work than any other two days, the
editor was the victim of those
bugs ? for how long is yet to be
seen. Then, too, Mr. Whitten's
brother, H. B. Whitten in Knox
ville, died, and he was away Tues
day. Wednesday and part of Thurs
day. There weren't many left to
do the work on the paper.
