More Alfalfa Planned
In Caswell County
More alfalfa will probably be
seeded by Caswell County Negro
farmers this year than ever be
fore, reports W. N. Knight, Negro
county agent for the State College
Extension Service.
A large number of farmers have
sowed peas and spread manure
on their land in prepration for
seeding acreage to this hay crop.
Many of them are also having
their soil analyzed.
Knight said farmers are also
showing much interest in the seed
ing of permanent pasture mixtures.
Thirty-five farmers attended a re
cent meeting at which the county
agent discussed the importance of
providing adequate grazing for
livestock. The farmers were very
much interested and decided they
would seed at least one acre to
permanent pasture this year.
Walter Wiley of Hightowe r , who
plans to go into beef and dairy
cattle production, has decided to
seed 10 acres in improved pasture
during the year. He will use a
mixture of Ladino clover and or
chard grass. He expects his graz.
ing program to save him cons’der
able money in feed bills.
Dairy Farmer Reaps
Return from Pasture
W. B. Franks, dairy farmer of
Raleigh, Route 4, reaped a profit
able return from an 18-acre tem
porary pasture which ho seeded
last fall, according to J. L. Eeit
zel, Wake County farm agent for
the State Extension Service.
Mr. Franks seeded 50 pounds of
Italian ryegrass and 15 pounds of
crimson clover per acre. At the
time of seeding he applied 600
pounds per acre of 8-8-8 fertilizer
which he mixed on his farm, and
this spring he applied about 24
pounds of pure nitrogen per acre.
On March 8, Mr. Franks smarted
grazing the pasture with 63 head
of cattle which were then jproduc
ing 130 gallons of milk per day.
Twelve days later the cattle had
increased their milk production to
178 gallones per day.
Prior to the grazing the cows
were being fed $32 wort hos hay
per day. The reduction in cost
of hay material and the increase in
milk production meant and addi
tional profit of more than S7O per
day, the dairyman reported. At
the same time the cattle were get
ting in better physical condition

ETERNAL LIFE
By Mrs. Hurley D. Powell
In life Jesus stands at the door
of our heart knocking. In death
those who refuse Him in life will
stand at the door of heaven knock
ing
In life:
“Behold, I stand at the door and
knock: if any man hear My voice,
and open the door, I will come in
to him, and will sup with him, and
he with Me.’’ (Rev. 3:203
In death:
“Then shall the kingdom of
heaven be likened unto ten virgins,
which took their lamps, and went
forth to meet the bridegrooms,..
The bridegroom came and they
that were ready went in with him
to the marriage: and the door was
shut. Afterward came also thj
other virgins, saying Lord, Lord,
open to us. But he answered and
said Verily I say unto you, 1
know you not.” (Mt. 25:1, 10-32).
“The time to comer”
“The day of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night; in
which the heavens shall pass away
with a great noise, and the ele
ments shall meet with a fervent
heat, the earth also and the works

flour and corn meal for corn or

Knowing these things we would
continue to stress the warning:
“Who will hearken and hear for
the time to come?” (Isa. 42:23)
by quoting yet another on:
WHAT THEN?
When all the great plants of our
cities,
Have turned out their last finished
work,
When the merchants have sold the
last yard,
And dismissed from their work,
the last clerk;
When the banks have raked in
their last dollar,
And have paid in the last dividend,
When the Judge of the earth says,
“Close up for the night,”
And asks for a balance—WHAT
THEN?
When the choir has sung its last
anthem,
And the preacher has made his last
prayer;
When the people have heard their
last sermon,
And the sound has died out on the
air;
When the Bible lies closed on the
altar,
And the pews are all empty of
men,
And each stands facing the record,
When the great book is opened—
WHAT THEN?
When the actors have played their
last drama,
And the music has made its last
fun,
When the film has flashed its last
picture,
And the billboard displayed its last
run;
When the crowd seeking pleasure
has vanished,
And gone out in darkness again,
When the trumpet of ages has
sounded,
And we all stand before Him—
WHAT THEN?
