MY FAMILY ALL SAY YOU CAN'T bat BLUE 1 RIDGE- mm mm 1 K .. .. . . ... m in miiai - sw a iant Loan Farmers Hold Meeting Seven farm families who have re ceived' loans from the farm secur ity administration to bily farms in Maeoir county; under the terms of the Bankheadjones tenant act, met in Franklin recently; to take inventory of their first year's work and to make; plans for' the new year. William G. -Davis, FSA county supervisor,' said a summary of the records of these families shows that they have been 'able' to meet their obligations to the government in a satisfactory manner and have made promising gains as revealed by-, increased inventories. These meetings will be held at the close of each year to measure progress and to help the farmers witli their plans. Results of this first meeting indicate that tenant purchase borrowers have been sold on this idea and already have tak en initial steps toward a better balanced farm program. Jin addition to those borrowing to buy' farms, there are other farmers in' this county, both ten ant and small farm owners, who arc borrowing under FSA'.s reha bilitation program to buy fertilizer, seed, farm equipment, live stock, and other things needed on the farm. Only those buying farms (and who have made at least one crop) attended the meeting. . The tenant-purchase program. is a grad ually increasing program .'and- has been in operation iti this county Only one yean ' t Mr, Davis stated that John W. Roane, Walter C. Taylor and James C. Bryson, the three local farmers ' composing -, the county tenants-purchase committee, have rendered valuable assistance in car rying out the program, as has also Miss Mary E. Doyle, home supervisor, his invaluable associate in farm security work. County Agent Urges . Better Poultry -Care By S. W. MENDENHALL County Agent Every farm in the county should have- enough poultry to supply suf ficient egg,s and chickens for home" use. Poultry properly cared for will also furnish a cash income. It is a common complaint at this time of the year that the hens arc not laying even though they are fat. A hen that is too fat will not lay as well as one that is in just good condition. In most instances dur ing the winter months the feed that is supplied for the poultry is com posed primarily of corn. Corn alone is a fattening ration and is not good for egg production. A much belter would be equal parts com and wheat or better still corn, wheat and oats. However, better results can be obtained if a good laying mash is fed 'liberally along with this grain ration. Another thing that prevents our birds from laying as they should is the lack of housing. It would be impossible for people to work un less a place is provided where we can , come: at night and at inter vals during the day that afford protection from the weather. Even though our poultry may be of the best breeding they can not work and have to stay in places that furnish little or no protection from the elements. The house should be large enoughv so that each bird would have at least four square feet of. floor space. Farmers who are planning to start in the poultry business on a larger scale than just the farm flock "and intend to build a brood er house and laying bouse should either come to the county agent's office and secure plans for these houses or visit some of the farmers-, who have constructed these houses according to the ' North Carolina plan's. This is most es sential if you anticipate selling hatching eggs to a hatchery as there are certain specifications that must be met -before a flock can i be eligible- for the production I of hatching eggs. Now is the time to start con struction 'for the brooder house in order thai the floor and the brood- ' er will be well dried before time to start the fire. Information may be secured at ' the county or home agent's office regarding the care and manage- j meat of poultry as well as he proper construction of poultry houses.

D. 1 Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for February 4 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. s HOLDING LIFE SACRED LESSON TEXT Genesis 1:27-31; I Cor inthians 6:19, 20; II Corinthians 6:16-7:1. GOLDEN TEXT Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. I Corinthians 6:20. Moral action and right living can only be assured on the basis of right thinking. If our" principles are eight, our action will be .sure and our life will be steady. Fundamental in our consideration of temperate living is a right understanding of life itself. Where did we come; from? Whom do we resemble?. What are the, rul ing forces in life? To whom do we belong? If he gets these matters straight, any honest man will come out right in his life decisions. I. Man Was Created in the Image of God (Gen. 1:27-31). God created njan so says Scripture, IsfW all the forces of. in fidelity and unbelief have not been able to break down that, simple statement. The creation story of Genesis stands and will stand. ' Let no critic of God's Word, no spinner of human . philosophies, however plausible, take that assurance from you. The important point for our lesson is the fact that God created man in His own image; in- other words, made him an intelligent, mora and spiritual being. It takes a very gullible person indeed to believe the theory (which, by the way, has never- been proved) that man has evolved from some elementary sub stance by way of the anrmal into his present high estate.' Man came from the hand of God ready to take dominion over the earth (vv. 28-30), able to name all the animals (Gen. 2:19, 20), and above all, capable of fellowship with God. Little won der that God declared His creation with man as its crown to be "very good" (1:31). Remember that you are God's cre ation and that you bear His likeness ' and you will have a high regard for your life. You will guard it, develop it, and above all you will commit it in glad surrender to God . through Jesus Christ. II. The Believer Is Indwelt by the Holy Spirit (I Cor. 6:19, 20). Redemption at the great price of Jesus' blood not only makes the be liever belong to God (v. 20), but also makes his body the temple of the Holy Spirit When the child of God grasps that truth, his attitude toward his body and toward his life which it bears is revolutionized. Since the third person of the blessed Trinity dwells in me, I will not abuse, neglect, or misuse my body. I will not take it to places wriere the in dwelling Spirit would not go. I will not use it or any of its mem bers to do anything which does not honor God. On the other hand, I will yield It without delay and with out reservation to the Holy Spirit and count on Him to empower and. use it for God's glory. The writer wishes to bear testi mony that when this truth laid hold of him, even yeairs after he was con verted, it changed his whole life. It can do the same for every Chris tian who reads these lines. And what about the unbeliever? He can ac cept Christ right now and at once the Holy Spirit will indwell him too. Why not? III. The Believer Should Live a Separated Life (II Cor. 6:16-7:1). We have fallen upon evil days when it seems to be assumed by Christian people that only certain individuals in the Church are called to a life of separation from worldli ness. Men seem to say, ' "The preacher? Of course! The deacon? Oh, yesl The elders? Yes! The trus tees? Well, not necessarily. Church members? Well, some do and some don't" It is felt that it is just a matter of choice or of disposition, and that the failure to live such a separated life is really no reflection on one's spirituality. That erroneous view must have come directly from the devil him self. Christian man or woman, will you listen to Satan or to God's Word? Read again II Corinthians 6:16, 17. Note the blessed promise in verse 18, and then heed the ad monition in 7:1, "Dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit per fecting holiness in the fear of God." As Christians, our response to such an admonition should be immediate and complete. The command and the invitation are to you. Christian . friend. If you will respond, there will be a re vival in your own heart, and if all those who read these lines will re spond to God's invitation and ad monition, there will be a revival In thousands of churches all over America this week. Why not? Friends Vou cannot keep your friends un less you learn to keep your temper. And if you wish others to enjoy your company you must see that you are a cheerful companion. THE HIGHLANDS MACONI AN Farmers Should Place Orders For Trees Now Any person traveling through our county will see land that has been cjeared of its timber and clean cultivated , to the extent that now it is worn out and is rapidly washing away, Conditions like these are eyesores to every one and ,of very little value to the owner. This condition can be remidied by the opportunity that is offered through the soil conservation pro gram and the Tennessee Valley Authority Cooperative. The Tennessee Valley Authority has made trees available at no cost to be used for erosion con trol and 2l2 units credit will be given in the soil conservation pro gram for' each acre of trees -that are properly planted. Approximately 300,000 trees have been ordered through the county agents office by farmers of this county for this practice. The time for ordering these trees will soon expire, it is hoped that every farmer who has waste land that is subject to washing will take advantage of this oppor tunity and improve the looks as well . as the value of the farm by planting trees that are now avail- Snows Bring Forestry Men New Experiences Heavy snows and record low temperatures (luring the .past week brought many new anil novel ex periences to members of the Nan tahala forest staff. : Game Warden George -Crawford and. a night watchman spent a number ; of frigid nights at the Arrowood fish rearing pools when the outlets to the pools, persisted in freezing, causing the pools to overflow and scatter' some 'J 0,000 trout. It was only after tending, the pools all night that Crawford and the nightwatchiuau were able to keep their filmy tribe confined to the pools. '. . ' Camp F-23, Otto, decided to check the temperature One cold day. Removing a thermometer, which read 28, from a refrigerator, an enrol let4 placed the thermometer on the outside of a barrack. A few moments later the thermometer had dropped to 9 below zero. The en rollee decided ; the place to sleep that night would be the refriger ator. '.'"'.; Grader Operator Ezra Constance was stranded in the Horse Cove section where he had gone to op erate Forest Service equipment on a State Highway cooperative road project. Eighteen inches of snow fell and drifted. Even leaving the section was impossible. Within 24 hours' after the snow storm had subsided the Nantahala road was cleared of snow from Highway U, S. Ho. 64 over Wayah Crest and the Winding Stairs to Xantahala Station by Camp F-10, Aquone. This . was possible due to the operation of snow-clearing equipment throughout the storm.
