U. N. officials expressed the hope
that the major powers would as
sume responsibility for Europe’s
economic recovery until the
world organization is in a posi
tion to handle the problem.
They anxiously awaited Rus
sian response to a British and
French invitation to join these
two countries in carrying out
Secretary of State Marshall’s pro
gram of economic aid to Europe.
Secretary-General Trygve Lie,
closely following reaction to the
Marshall plan, said the United
Nations presently does not have
the machinery for handling the
recovery program. He declared
the Europe will be in a'serious
plight unless the United States,
Britian, Russia and France as
sume co-operative leadership in
Shis field.
Lie has promised to place what
ever U. N. machinery is needed
at the disposal of the major pow
ers if they agree to tackle Euro
pean recovery.
Talks Scheduled
Just how the U. N. can help
in the Marshall program is ex
pected to be discussed this week
between Gunnar Myrdal, chair

We can take a lesson from the old horse and buggy days.
So long as a horse remained between the shafts, travel
ing was simple, but without that power the buggy was
useless. So it is with the American family. So long as
the earning power of th| family head remains intact, he
and his family can prosper. Lose that earning power
and the family falters. Occidental’s PERFECT PROTEC
TION feature, coupled with its insurance, protects this
earning power by paying an income when you are sick
or disabled. Ask your Occidental representative about
this life insurance “that 13 different.”

Some delegates here speculat
ed on the possible effects of Rus
sian participation in the Mar
shall program. They pictured
Russian participation as a step
toward bridging the political gap
reflected in Europe’s disjointed
tconomy.
Right now they are agreed
that European politics and econo
mics are out of step.
Soviet participation inthe eco
nomic aid program, it was be
lieved, would probably raise
these issues:
1. Russian ratification of the
peace treaties with Italy, Roman
ia, Bulgaria and Hungary. The
United States and Britain already
have ratified them.
2. The Austrian peace treaty
on which Russia and the western
powers have been unable to a
gree.
3. Economic and monetary re
forms in countries under Rus
sian domination.
4. German economic recovery.

The seventh adjustment in mar
riage is spiritual. This is the most
important adjustment of all. A
successful adjustment here fore
tells a happy and useful mar
riage.
No home can succeed without
the pretense and guidance of Al
mighty God. A marriage, to be
at its best, must have God in the
center. The “I” of the two separ
ate personalities in marriage
must blend into “we.” Then “we”
must learn to pray, “Not my will
but thine be done.” As the God
directed life is the successful
life, so the God-directed mar
riage indicates and foretells the
successful home. For the Christ
ian this should be the Christ
centered home.
The first act performed by the
newelyweds immediately after
their marriage in a church cere
mony, is that of kneeling together
in prayer. It is a beautiful sym
bol of that spiritual unity which
should continue throughout mar
ried life. As arm in arm they
knelt for prayer, so their spiri
tual lives should be likewise uni
fied.
They should take this prayer
lesson immediately into mar
riage, following it with daily
prayer together, and preferably
aloud. The family altar is essen
tial to a happy Christian home.
There are many books of daily
devotionals available for this in
addition to the Bible. We can’t
afford to be too busy to neglect
thaat: if we are, we’re busier
than the Lord ever intended for
us to be.
Both husband and wife should
unite together in the same church
and have the same pastor. They
should go to work in that church.
This often calls for one or the
zither to give up their church.
Sometimes it's better for both to
leave their churches in which
they are reared as children,
and to find one in which they can
happily unite.
If the marriage commences by
being divided in church loyalty,
the door is open for other divi
sions. And divisions have no
place in a happy marriage I can
recall very few cases of domes
tic difficulty which have be'?n
brought to this desk where hus
band and wife have been united
and active in the same church.
This unity in church carries
ov. r into their sniritual lives, and
leads them to an appreciation of
spiritual love which is th? high
est form. Th > Creeks had a word
for it “a'Tino." It was the word
used bv J sus when he said. “A
new commandment I giv unto
you that ve love on? another."

blessing of God, it should be per
formed in the church by a min
ister, priest, or rabbi. And the
young couple should unify their
allegience to God by a common
membership in the same church.
This should be done immediately
following marriage, and not post
poned.
Without love marriage cannot
endure—the love of person, the
love of companionship, the love
of children, and the love of God.
Farming Notes
By H. D. Quessenberry
July is here again and time
to cut your meadow hay. Don’t
be fooled into thinking that the
extra hay that you will get by
cutting hay late will be worth
more than the smaller amount
cut now which will be of a better
quality. You are just kidding
yourself when you think you are
making money by letting your
hay grow longer just to get more
tons. All you are doing is let
ting your hay turn to straw. Al
though more tons per acre are
made, the hay makes less pounds
of beef or gallons of milk. This
statement was proven by ex
periments held at the Upper
Mountain Experiment station in
Ashe county. Part of the meadow
hay that grows so well in our
county was cut early—about the
last of June. The rest of the hay
was cut six weeks later, af*er the
hay had bloomed. Two tests were
run, one was with dry Hereford
cows to see how they macle it
over the winter on both early ancl
late cut hay. Each cow was fed
20 pounds of hay per day over
rgi hrs Me/mce fy?

a period oX 34 days. The results
showed how wrong we are when
we cut our hay late. The cows
wintered on early cut hay gained
15 pounds per head. Those fed
late cut hay lost 10 pounds per
head. Think what those two fig
ures mean. The late cut hay
did not even keep the cows in
as good physical condition as they
were. You can’t make money in
the livestock business when your
cattle are losing weight instead
of gaining on what you feed
them.
The second test, weaned calves
were fed 8 pounds of hay per day
plus 2 pounds of a grain mix
ture. Which group of calves look
ed better after 84 days? The story
is the same as with the cows.
Each calf received! 672 pounds
of hay. Calves fed the early cut
hay gained 22 pounds each. Cal
ves fed the late cut hay gained
only 12 pounds each. It took 56
pounds of late cut hay to make
1 pound of gain against only 30 %
pounds of early cut hay.
Our meadow hay which is
mostly cut late yields about one
ton per acre. Early cutting would
reduce the yield about ¥4. In
other words, about % of a ton
per acre would be made. On the
basis of the above gains, one acre
of early cut hay would make a
bout 49 pounds of gain and one
acre of late cut hay would make
about 35¥2 pounds of gain. In
late cut hay you would have
more hay to feed but it would
not do the cattle as much good.
As it has been put, “Why make
a hay baler out of your cow by
feeding her late cut hay?”.
One other important fact—
when the hay was cut early the
return growth on the meadow
gave more fall grazing than was
gotten from the late cut hay. Any
way you look at it, money is lost
by cutting hay late. Young plants
are nutritious and high in pro
teins and total digestible nutri
ents. When the plant ripens, there
is a storing up of protein in the
seed while the digestible nutrie
nts of the leaves and stems de
creases rapidly.
Byway of summary, I would
like to say, cut your hay early
for best returns from your hay
when it is fed and r member
that early cutting makes better
hay and gives more grazing bene-
fits in the fall
There is a time, fore very thing.
There is only one time to make
hay, that is early, before it turns
to straw.
