(Photo by Wilfred G. Best) Progressive Farmer 'Man Of Year* Named Raleigh—The Progressive Farm er announces its 1949 award of "Man of the Year in Service to North Carolina Agriculture" to Rev. Dumont Clarke and cites his notable contributions in enriching rural life by helping build strong er rural churches. In January, 1930, Dr. Clarke be came religious director of the Farmers Federation, a cooperative farmers' organization with head quarters in Asheville. Now contin uously since then he has given 20 years of his life to promoting "The Lord's Acre" movement among rural churches of all denomina tions. PLAN OUTLINED Just what is "The Lord's Acre" j plan? The basic idea was that of having each church member plant j one acre to some crop, tend it and nurture it as being indeed our Lord's acre, and give the proceeds to his church. It was always real- j ized, however, that many church members could not conveniently cultivate exactly an acre in this way. "Some should give more, some less. But anyhow grow or raise j something—even if it is only a pig, a hen, or a bushel of potatoes— with your own hands and give it to the Lord." Dr. Clarke urged. And thousands—many thousands have responded. Many churches now do not use the name Dr. Clarke ad vocates. But most of them got the idea from "The Lord's Acre" and from Dr. Clarke's 20 years of mis sionary zeal in promoting it. He rejoices that so many thousands of church members have had their spiritual lives enriched and ennob led by the happiness of doing some thing for the Master day after day SMALL DOWN PAYMENT! tfp 'Does Week's wash in less than one hour Easy washes and rinses at same time jfft3 -Minute Automatic Spin rinse double rinses clothes cleaner . ^Whirling basket spins clothes really damp-dry Johnson Electric Co. 128 S.
