>- % Pasture and Forage Important This Year Lime and Fertilizer Boost Crop, Improve Quality The supply ">f fei d grains rela tive to livestock, and poultry num bers promises to be less favorable In 1944 than it has been for several years. As a result, farmers shouid plan to take every possible advan ' tage of pasture and forage crops in order to produce the volume of dairy and poultry products needed tiiis year, according to the War frood administration. One of t ie best ways to increase production of pasturage and forage, and «t the same time to improve the quality, the WKA says, is tJ •apply more lime and superphos phate or. pas'ure and hay land. The U>44 constr\ .t'.on program of the Agricultural Adjustment aijonoy is designed to stmuil'tite increased use of both these materials.

The boy takes great pride in his work, arul when soh ol is in session he ev -n gets in a few licks mornings and evenings. The summer vacnt gives him a great opportunity for i.is favorite occupa tion. It Is not unusual to see women doing farm work in this county, tie iarm wives doing a turn. A recent survey showed about 75 of them in the fields. Fifty boys and girls were also doing field work, many of the boys being less than 12 years old. Killing Poison Ivy If the poison ivy plants are sprayed with a solution of sodium chlorate in the proportion of one quart of crystals to three gallons of water, the plant will usually die after the first application. If life is still evident, however, a second ap plication may be given in a few weeks. Food in Brick Form What is said to be the largest ro tary press in the world was installed at the Boughboy Mills at New Rich mond, Wis., for forming bricks of dehydrated food for the civilians freed from Nazi subjugation. The bricks are actually one-half the bulk of dehydrated food, meas uring 8 by 3 by 2 inches. Four cargo planes, loaded with 5,000 pounds each of these bricks could feed a million for one day. The mill is making 250,000 daily. THE OANni RV REPORTER, HANBriIY. N.

Fruits, commercially canned, have carried a h;gh point value and this : has made their ! .-W HP* serving in many f' families prohibi- A tive. Bat lucky indeed are those . _ v homes in which ! there are ample i stoeks of home- ; canned fruits. Fruit canning is infinitely rvTe simple than vegetable canning. The reas jr. for that is that fruits are aeid a:.i, therefore, can be sterilized : m. re readily. A hot water bath is ideal for proc- , rssing the fruit or.ee it is in the jar. ! If you cannot obtain one, use a regu- j ar wash boiler, tHted with a rack j to keep the jars a half inch from the j bottom. A cover that tits tightly j over the canner helps keep the steam in and does not waste fuel. Steps in fanning. 1. Select fruit in the peak of con- : dition. Your can will yield only what ! you put into it. 2. Wash fruit or berries carefully, '• pare and pit according to directions | for fruit in the fruit canning chart j given in this column. 3. Fruit is pre-cooked for several minutes in certain cases to shrink it. and to give you a better looking pack with as little floating as possi ble. "4. Use a light or medium type of syrup in which to pre-cook the fruit or cook in its own juice. 5. I'aek fruit into hot, sterilized jars and add boiling syrup or fruit juice with which to cover the fruit. .Most juice or syrup is added to with in one-half inch of the top of the jar. 8.

Canning 'Rithmetic: If the jars and fruit don't come out even ( when you're canning, better sit down and do some figuring before 1 you start to can. Here are tips to help you: Apples—l bu.

All jars should not be inverted, so watch the manufacturers' instruct tions on this point. Oven Canning. This year, I'm not recommending oven canning of fruits because war time restrictions in equipment have caused many changes to be made in jars and caps, and this method is not safe. Many women had acci dents last year and much fru;t was spoiled. Play safe, and use t:.e wa ter bath. Sugar Syrups. As long as sugar is still rationed, you'll want to use it sparingly sc there's enough for peaches as well as for plums and grape jelly in the "* fail. Wise homemak- fefi W " ers are using the 11 J thin or medium syrups, as these will mellow and ripen the fruit but still not consume too much of the precious sugar sup ply. Thin Sugar Syrup. 1 cup sugar 3'i cups water Bring to a boil, stirring only until sugar is dissolved. Keep hot but not boiling. Medium Sugar Syrup. 2 cups sugar 4 cups water. Follow directions above. Open Kettle Canning. Women who have canned for years on end, still prefer the old- fashioned, cpen- kettle method for \'• \ canning fruits. It 'J, gives a luscious product, and if v the canner is 2-Sj a B e will develop. taken to wash and sterilize all uten sils carefully so that no bacteria will be introduced into the jars to work spoilage later. Unless you are experienced at can ning, I do not suggest you try this method, but if you do, here are the directions to observe: 1. Wash and sterilize all equip ment. This means jars, rubbers, spoons, spatulas, funnels, in fact, anything that comes in contact with the food. 2. Make sure the food has reached the boiling temperature before fill ing jars. Fill each jar to the brim as rapidly as possible. 3. Run a spatula down the sides of each jar after filling. Refill with more juice to the rim of the jar. 4. Seal completely, at once.

SUCCESSES AND FAILURES OF ISRAEL i LESSON TEXT—Judges 2 618 GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness exalteth « ' natlbn: but sin Is ■ reproach to any people, j —Proverbs 14:34. i The success or failure of both na tions and individuals is ultimately determined by their attitude toward ! the law of God. He is always right : and true. The constant factor in a world order that swings wildly from ! one extreme to another, is His law, which is perfect and eternal. God is no respecter of persons. Even Israel, His own chosen nation, found that observing God's law meant blessing, and failure to do so brought judgment and sorrow. No man is great and powerful enough to ignore this rule—and none is ex empt from its operation. ] I. Remembering God Brings Bless ! ing (vv. 6-9). Although Israel had not fully obeyed God's command, and had been rebuked by an angel of the Lord for their failure (Judg. 2:l-5>, they had come into a measure of their inheritance under Joshua. They now possessed that Inher itance and entered into enjoyment of it (v. 6). It is one thing to have an inheritance, but another thing to claim it and make use cf it. Count less Christians have never taken out t their inheritance in Christ. All they have is the earnest (Eph. 1:14) cr "down payment." God never meant that ar.y child cf ; i His should live a poverty-stricken spiritual life, or should go ha.tir.g on first one side and then the other. He has made provision for a fu'.l -01 bed, strong and joyful life. not enter upon your full inheritance : in Christ now? | As the people of Israel took ps , session of the land, they went for ward in the way of blessing as lc:.g ! as Joshua, and the elders who re i membered God, kept them steads j ! and true. We have here an excel- | ' lent illustration of the po«er of a ' ! godly example. It is far stronger | than we think. 11. Forgetting God Brings Back sliding (VV. 10-13). The fact that a people has been highly privileged and has been ex alted to a place of power and honor will not save it in the day when God is forgotten. Israel no longer had God-fearing men to bring it back to God, and so began its awful drifting away from God. We Americans are rightly proud | of our great land, its mighty re sources. its fine past and promising ; future. But wait—what is the future I to be? Oh, we say, the most glori ous days are ahead. T hey may be, , but oniy if we, like our forefathers who established this nation, recog nise God. If we do not, America will go the way of the forgotten em pires of centuries past, and that in spite of all its past achievements and its present promise. Let us always remember that America is not some vague entity apart from us, for we, you and I, are America, we determine what it shall be. and how it shall relate it self to God. Let us be sure that no one we know ever forgets God. It is a significant thing that the leaders of our nation so often come from Christian homes, but it is sad that they are so frequently not Christians themselves. Their lives are shaped by the teaching and in fluence of godly parents who reared them, but what will their children do if they are not brought up in the fear and admonition of the Lord? Forgetting God is bad enough in its immediate results, but just ahead there is great and certain disaster. 111. Forsaking God Brings Judg ment (vv. 14-10). God not only will not hold a back sliding nation guiltless, but will bring judgment even if He has to turn over His people to a despoiling nation, lie has instruments of indi vidual and national chastisement, and He is ready to use them. Notice that wherever they went the Lord's hand was against them. There is no place to flee from the presence of God. Anyone who thinks he can do it, should read Psalm 139:7-12. It can't be done. That is a comfort to the believer, but it is not a little disquieting to the un believer. God, however, always remembers mercy in the midst of judgment (Ps. 101:1). He sent judges to deliver Israel, when He was sure of their repentance (v. 16). "If there was ever a time when nations needed deliverers, it's now. The systemat ic looting of subjugated peoples, the deliberate murder of multitudes of Jews, the mass executions of many innocent people in reprisal for some patriotic act of resistance, are evils that cry to heaven. "If men would call on God not merely for deliverance but in real repentance for sins committed 'per haps the God who delivered Israel' would send deliverance to sufler ing people still" (Arnold's Commen tary). Well—why not call on Him now, in earnest?repentance and faith. Will you do it?
