FOOD CRISIS.
The greatest and most absorbing
■abject today is that of raising sui- ,
L ficient food for the world. It is nll
important—nothing to compare with
it.
The question of feeding tlio world
fe, , it treated by Jiarton W. Currie in a
late issue of The Country Gentleman.
' lie summarizes the situation and
drives the facts home in the follow
ing terse sentences:
"The 1917 food crises is the great
est in the history of the world."
"The vast majority of our people
•' refuse to realize the emergency.
They express alarm over rising
prices, yet assume thut the first peace
> ' move will briug relief. IT WILL
NOT."
If , "Sixty million workors have been
withdrawn from normal production
in Karope."
"Reserve stocks of meat, grain,
butter, eggs, canned food have been
£ „ Steadily saggiug below the (lunger
level."
"Kurope has bought fur future
I delivory t3OO,IK)o,tMJO bushels ol
1917 wheat. Unless Federal resu
lt'" lation intervenes wheat may bell ut
.00 or even fc-1.00 u bushel."
''it is up to tlio American farmer
to stave off a graver calamity liiuii
Any that has MO fur attended the
World War."
E» Everything Mr. Currie bus suid is
justified, and more. There is every
thing to impel everyone who bus
land to put every acre in some son
of food crop for man or beast.
Time is passing and passing
rapidly, it will soon be too lute to
plant some of the crops to mature
this year.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Toxt of the Lesson, John xv, 20; xvl, 14
Memory Versos, 12, 13—Golden Text
John xiv, 26—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Our siiedal topic for today in the
work of the Holy Spirit, a full study
of which would take us, even if we
only noticed the references to Him
self, from Gen. I, 2, to Rev. xxil, 17.
AM In Gen. 1 and il, all the work was
accomplished by tho Spirit of God and
tho Word of God, for the Spirit moved,
and God said, "8o it has been ever
since and In everything." Our Lord
Himself «ald, "The words that I speak
unto you, they are spirit, and they an
! life" (John vl, U3). At Pentecost the
j siime Holy Spirit who hitd been work
In:; all through the Old Testament pe
rind came in a si social way and tc
bear a testimony to a crucified, risen
aud as' ended Christ, a tiling lie never
could have done before, and' to gather
from all nations a bride for Illui, lib
body, the church, which, being com
pleted and caught up to meet Him in
the air (I The*s. iv, 10-IS; J Cor. xv,
01, 52), the same Holy Spirit will con
tlnue to work according to the eter
nal of the Father in the Son,
through the great tribulation |»erlod
and (lie thousands years, and on to the
New Kartli, when AJod shall be all In
all. ITE womleiTfil to IK» Indwelt by
such a person aud to l>c permitted to
let Him have the right of way and full
control In one's life that God may be
glorified! In xiv, 10, 17, our Lord
called Him another Comforter, one
who would Is* to all believers all that
Christ had been to Ills disciples while
jsTMonaily present with them, aud He
said that He would dwell in us and
never leave us. iu xlv, 20, He said
that the Comforter would be our teach
er aud remembrancer, so I hat, liowevei
poor a memory one may have, a be
llever can always, at least iu thethlugH
of God, count upon his fiieud the Com
forter. According to I John 11, 27, the
anointing which we have received abid
eth in us, and we need not that any
iniiii tea' h us. In xv, 10, He is again
called the Spirit of Truth as well as
the Comforter, and our I»rd said, "He
shall testify of Me," and ye also shall
bear witness. One of tlie evidences
that the Spirit is having His own way
hi us Is thut we love to honor Christ
and spesk of Him, for "to Illm give
all the prophets witness," and concern
lug Him Peter and John said, "We
cannot but speak the things which w
have seen and heard" (Acts iv, 20;
x, 4,'b.

WHAT EDUCATION DOES FOR
THE COMMUNITY.
*
Education is a social factor. It
has to do with the people and th" 1
condition in which they live. It
ia a civilizer. It is something which
| makes communities different—and
better. Education helps th? church,
helps the home, helps the character.
I It helps the whole community.
1. It reduces taxes. We complain
. about the school tax. We think we
pay too much. It is harj t'j gtt
, the people to vote a mill or two.
i But schools cost less than cojrts.
I Pupils cost cost less than prisoners.
Crime is less rampant among intelli
gent people than among the igno-
I rant. Ignorance is the cost
liest thing in the world. It
makes mischief wheraver it
thrives. It makes crime. It maks
pauperism. It makes expensive po
litical blunders. It makes foolish
i errors of every sort. And the com
munity pays the bill. Better
build schools, better build colleg s.
Better give intelligence a chance.
Intelligent people don't tote pistols.
Intelligent people don't kill each
each other about fence lines; they
talk it over reasonably and settl
it sensibly. Intelligent people don t
siteal a living; they make one.
I Every school is a tax reducer. It
means the reign of reason and oi
law and order.
'I. Education increases property
value. Property is valuable as it
is desirable. And nobody desires
property in a community where
tneie are n(j_ schools or where the
school is sj poo.\y provided for
it hardly deserves tne na.ne.
Whenever a man thinks of moving
into a town or a neighborhood,
his ftNt question is about the
churches; his second question is
about the schools. People are judg
ed by their churches and by their
schools. Property is valued mucli
in the same way. The rich.st States
are those that Bpcnd the most for
education, not because they are
rich, for education increases pro
ductive power. It makes capacity,
of a state or community, you add
to its wealth and its property. Ed
ucation helps people to niitke a liv
ing. If it is chrißtiin education,
it helps them to make a lif3 also.
But i' surely helps them to make
a nv:r.g It surely quickens tneir
ambition. It surely confers on them
the po#er of achievement, ana
when you do that you enhance val
ues—life values, land values, busi
ness values. Education pays.
3. It is not necessary to say that
education makes communities
agreeable to live in. It brings in
books. It subscrioes to magazines.
It encourages the building of a
library. It sends for lecturers ana
musicians. It develops taste, it
makes the contacts with the proph
ets and the poets and the authors
] and the scientists. It opens the
1 door for genius to come in. It
broadens life's horizon. It giveß
communion with wise and good ana
great of all nations and all times.
Education brings the world into
community, and it becomes a big
World in its new relationship ana
contacts. It makes the neighbor
hood a good place to live in.
4. Education gives commun.ties
the materials of progress. It is a
builder of citizens and leaders.
Merchandise must have merchants.
| Farms must have farmers. Banks
I must have bankers. Schools must
: schoolmasters. And the pulpits
1 must have preachers. Education
: must furnish all of them. Civic en
terprises must have champions,
tilings do not get a one by them
selves. Causes do not flourish with
out defenders, nor movements move
without movers. Towns and cities
do not grow out of tfto groind.
They grow out of \%Jruit souls o.
men and women who are wis? and
willing to blaze the way.. Some
body must see and summon the
sleeping power. Somebody must
organize the forces of political and
civic life. And who will do it but
.the scholar? Who has the better
right to do than the man who
knows. And we have therefore
chilrged the schoolmasters to go
train the citizens and the leader*.
We have put our destiny in his
hand. If he fails or we make him
fail by negligence, the church fails,
banks fail, business fails, govern
ent fails, civilization fails. When
we build a school we build a cit
adel of strength and glory. We
build a recruiting place for cham
pions of order, love of justice.

Signs of Progress.
The production of food and food
crops in typical cotton and tobacco'
counties is one of the signs of ag
ricultural progress. Moved not
only by a sense of patriotism, in
assisting in the growing of staple
food stuffs, but also by the feeling
that it represents a m'ore profit
able type of agriculture, former
one crop farmers are beginning to
give attention to diversification in
all of its significance.
As a prominent factor in bring
ing about this agricultural change,
the county demonstration agent
of the Agricultural Extension
Service looms up as one of the
most valuable assets any county
may possess. Edgecombe county
employs the services of County
Agent Zeno Moore. For a num
ber of years prior to the present
economic crisis, Mr. Moore has
been urging the growing of grains,
permanent and temporary pas
tures, the production of nays, the
feeding of livestock and the man
agement of poultry.
Seeing is believing. On B. F.
Shelt oil's farm in Edgecombe
county, one of Agent Moore's best
demonstrations is a ten-acre field
of oats, planted at the last culti
vation of cotton. In "spite of the
bad season this year, which re
sulted in the killing out of a good '
deal of grain, this field of oats is
in excellent .-'hape. It was sown
broadcast, just as the cotton rows
were givyn their last cultivation*
and when the soil was in excellent
seed-bed condition. No extra
preparation of the soil was neces
sary; the amount of labor was re
duced to a miuiuium; the field has
a cover crop all during the winter;
the oats could have been used for
grazing purposes or for grain; the
total cost of seeding the grain was
represented by the cost of one
bushel to the acre.
Seeing further is believing fur
ther. When compared to the
ordinary method of sowing oats
in the early winter by scarifying
the soil, a prevalent method in
many sections, the outstanding
advantages of Mr. Moore's plan
are only too readily noticed. Mr.
Shelton's oats are a foot higher
and a month nearer maturity than
his neighbor's grain. Mr. Moore's
rotation plan for this field of oats
is, to follow the grain with soy
beans or peas, which in turn will
be followed by clover. Then the
clover will be plowed under and
the field put into corn. "Rye will
follow the corn as a winter cover
crop and will be succeeded by cot
ton. Oats will begin the now ro
tation, which included two grain
crops, two legume crops and two
clean-cultivated cash crops.
Mr. Moore's campaigns for pas
tures and legume crops have re
sulted in a gOQd sprinkling of
fields of alfalfa, crimson and bur
clover, lespedeza and grass pas
tures. Right now the clovers are
veritable food carpets of green,
crimson and yellow. Bur clover
seed in itself will yield a very
handsome profit to the acre; aud
the lespedeza or Japan clover,
sown broadcast on grain land two
years ago, on one of Mr. Moore's
demonstration fields, is now car
peting the ground with its tiny
leaves aud providing one of the
most excellent pastures.
Grain, corn, hay, pastures, live
stock aud poultry, plus cotton
and tobacco, is.Mr. Moore's plan
of work for the farmers of Edge
combe county, arranged in such a
way as to fill out the farmers' time
for 305 days of wof-k with the as
surance of maximum profits lor
the year. The signs of progress
are pointing to a new and a better
type of agriculture for North
Carolina. —S. G. Rubinow, Asst.
