opened yet, it is still alright to ap
ply the "pink" spray. This is the
spray for just before bloom. It is
designed to control scab, mildew
leaf spot, appl^ rust, quince rust,
aphids, mites, and ornamental fruit
moth. For 100 gallons of spray, use
eight pounds of 70%' paste sulfui
plus 12 ounces of 76% ferbam.
This will act as a fungicide. To kill
the insects you should add lVi
'56 Wool Payment
Applications
Due By April 30
Wool and lamb producers must
file applications for payment under
the 1956 wool incentive payment
program not later than April 30,
Chairman A. J. Barton of the Cher
okee County Agricultural Stabili
zation and Conservation Commit
tee has announced. The applicat
ions must be filed at the County
ASC Office. Payments under the
1956 program will be made on mar
keting of wool and lambs complet
ed between April 1, 1956 and
March 31, 1957.
"Completions of marketing," >
the Chairman explains, means that
the title or wool or lambs must
have passed from the seller to the
buyer. If any part of the sale
such as price, weight or yield ?
needed to determine the purchase
price is not completed within the
dates mentioned above, the sale
will not be considered as eligible
for submission under the 1956 pro
gram. Sales made after March 31
will be eligible under the 1957 pro
gram, which runs from April 1 of
this year through March 31, 1958.
In applying for payments, pro
ducers must supply documents
showing complete information con
cerning the sale of their wool and
lambs.
Wool incentive payments are au
thorized by the National Wool Act
of 1954 to stimulate increased pro
duction of wool. Payments are
made on lambs to encourage the
normal marketing of lambs with
the wool on. First payments under
the program were made last sum
mer on 1955-56 marketings. Nation
ally, these payments total approx
imately $57.5 million. For North
Carolina these payments total
$46,000.
pounds of 15% parathion or four
pounds of malathion. Either can be
used with either fungicide.
LAWN DISEASES
This cool wet weather helps to
cause a build-up of diseases in your
lawn grasses. If you notice white
or grey cottony growth on your
graSs blades, don't get alariped, it
is probably just powdery mildew or
some of the leaf spots. They are
caused by several wind borne fun
gi. Proper management of lawns,
especially timing and frequency of
mowing, can aid in checking most
grass diseases.

j ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS
* By LINDA GREEN
Note: This is an imaginary con
servation between Jesus and a
man who died and went to heaven.
"Hello Master", said Robert
Jones. "Hello, Robert," said Jesus,
"I rejoice to see another one who
has triumphed over sin and has
come to share my mansion with
me.
"O Father! I can't express my
happiness over being here. While
on earth my life was so important
to me. I found a place in social life
and it took so much of my, time.
Why, I was gone most every night!
On Monday night I had business
meetings, Tuesday night I went to
Lions Club, Wednesday and Thurs
day nights I played Canasta with
the -fellows I worked with, and on
Friday nights my family and I
went to the movies. On Saturday
nights 1 always had something to
do! When Sunday came I spent the
day in bed. I tried to convince my
self that you understood, but some
how I couldn't. Then, Master, You
let' me see that 1 was living too
fast. You changed my life!"
"Oh, I still had time for these
activities, because you gave me
time when I took time for you!"
said Robert Jones.
"Yes, Robert," said the Master.
"Most people are just like you.
?Tell me hobert, what about
death?"
"O, Master! Like everyone else
I feared death. Now it seems very
silly. I wish I could go back to
earth and tell everyone that Chris
tians need not fear death. Yes, I
was very much afraid, but when I
crossed the boundry, there you
were, reaching for my hand. I
then realized that only sinners
' should fear death!"
"That is true of most people",
said the Mastqf, "but Robert is
there sonfething on your mind?"
Robert Jones dropped his head,
then he looked up into the face of
the Master and said, "Yes, Master,
there's something on my mind. It's
been troubling me ever since I've

How well i* your farm and home
business organized? Do you spend
valuable time hunting for "scat
tered" receipts or a valuable bill
that you "stuck somewhere?"
According to Mamie Whisnant, Ag
ricultural Extension Service home
management specialist at State
College, "Farming and homemak
ing have reached the place now
where efficiency is absolutely nec
essary to carry on the business
successfully. Its importance has
increased greatly in recent years
because of rising prices, taxes,
social security, the soil bank and
other acreage allotment records
that must be kept.
"It's a difficult and time-wasting
job," says Miss Whisnant, "to try
to write letters or do book work
without a comfortable, well-lighted
place to do it. Lost receipts, bills
or important papers often add up
to more lost time and extra wor
ries. This may be avoided with a
well-planned business center that
fits family needs."
Here are some of the things that
Miss Whisnant suggests are needed
in a business center in the home:
A good writing surface-may be a
desk or table 28 to 31 inches high;
should be strong, sturdy and com
fortable with enough "elbow
room."
A sturdy comfortable chaip with
seat 17 to 20 inches high and with
a good back support.
Good light ? natural or artificial
light from the left side makes see
ing easier for the right-handed
writer.
Convenient place for current re
cords and unfinished business.
Other storage space ? drawers,
filing cabinets, pigeon holes, etc.,
and a safe or metal lock box for
valuable papers.
Small boxes or drawer dividers
in large drawers for small supplies.
Necessary accessories ? pen
ink, pencil sharpener, wastebasket,
etc.
Have what you need where yoj
need it.
been here with you, and have been
able to look down on earth. Do you
remember the man in prison for
murdering his wife? WeU, Father,
?do you love him?"
Robert's question was answered
bby the look on his Redeemer's
face. "Yes, Robert, 1 still love this
man. I love him very much, be
cause 1 know he is lost."
"But Father, what about Mary
Brown? She's an adultress! Dc
you still love her?"
"Very much, Robert. I know she
has broken my law, but 1 still love
her." >
"O Father! Now I know 'why
I'm here. I'm no better than any
of these!"
Robert Jones left the Master
with his face glowing. He under
stood JesuS love for the first time.
You can understand it too. He lov
es everyone! That's whey He gave
His life.
Yes, He loves us all that Heaven
allows ? and enough to give His
life on earth.
