Gathered around the cheerful light.
All Just as busy as a bee,
And in all practical respects,
They sure improved their
intellects.
Present conditions mark 1940
as a year of uncertainty for North
Carolina farmers, Because of this
situation, State college specialists
are urging growers: to plan and
plant wisely.
During February, the Tar. Heel
crop grower will' find it to his
advantage to follow these eight
rules as laid down by C. 11. Wil
liams, veteran State college agro
nomist : ...
1. Select those fields on the farm,
insofar as possible, for the growth
of major crops that have soils and
natures best suited -to the growth
of each of the crops.
2. Decide upon the Lest quan
tities and analyses of fertilizers
that' should'. 'be used for each crop
for the greatest per acre returns.
i. Do not use fertilizers which
fad to meet, the requirements for
your crops grown on your 'par
ticular isoils.
4. Do not let someone talk you
into using mixtures you are not
sure will best meet your condij
lions and' needs.'
5. Use improved seed best suit
ed lo'ycur locality and conditions.
0. Handle your laud so that it
will be a little more 'productive'
each succeeding, year.
7. As far as possible, arrange
your major crops in rotations, with
at least one suitable legume in each
rotation to be plowed "under- for
soil-improving purposes.
8. Break- your land early and
plant promptly on a good mellow
seed bed after the season opens.
Delayed planting frequently leads
to decreased - yields.
Niav, jumping from crops to live
stock farming, here are a few sug
gestions from Dr. John E. Foster,
State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
A. When should treatment be
started in the tobacco plant bed
to control blue mold?
A. If the disease is in the vicin
ity it is best lo start treatment
immediately, However, if careful
daily ' inspections are made to in
sure finding the first sign of the
disease, treatment may be delayed
until the disease is actually pres,
tnt. Care should be exercised to
avoid even one night's delay after
the disease is present as plants
cannot be revived by treatment.
Extension Circular ''No. 229 gives
full details as to time and kind
of treatment and copies may be
had free upon application to the
Agricultural Editor at State Col
lege. ' ' ,
y. Howx much lespedesa seed
d.cs it take to seed an acre ?
A. When broadcast, at least one
bushel or 25 pounds of seed should
be sown to the acre. The seed
t,hould be covered lightly as with
a' weeder. If the seed are drilled
in, less seed are required. All old
,ced should be tested for germina
tion before sowing to insure a
good stand. The crop is sown on
small grain in February or March.
All varieties with the exception ot
the Korean germinate in' from
four to five weeks and this should
be considered when seeding. The
Korean germinates in about- two
weeks. .
Q What feed should be given to
the baby chick when first taken
from the incubator?
A. As soon as the chicks arc
placed under the canopy they
should -be fed buttermilk or sour
skim milk and have access to dry
mash an.d water. Cooked infertile
eggs, left over from the first
candling, will also give excellent
results. The mash should be fed
in hoppers and placed near the
source of heat.' Grain feed may be
given . after the first seven to 10
days. This should be fed two or
three times a day and placed in
the mash' hoppers on top of the
mash. It is very essential that
plenty of mash hopper space be
supplied so that the chicks may all
eat at the same time.
Fresh Eggs Command
Higher Market Price
Don't offer a customer a "pig
in a poke," says T. T. Brown, ex
tension poultryman of State col
lege, in urging farmer to sell only.

associate in animal husbandry in
vestigations for the experiment
station at State college:
. Brood sows that are to. farrow
in February should be provided
with plenty of minerals and vita
mins. If winter pasture is not
available, furnish Vitamin A jby
feeding yellow ' corn or small
amountis of bright . green leafy le
gume ' hay.
Have your ewes in a strong
thrifty condition before lambing.
If some are poor , and run down,
separate them from the remainder
of the flock and give them extra
feed and care.
Save out some good quality le
gume hay for the weaned baby
calves and nursing cows. -The lower
quality roughage can be fed to the
older cattle and dry cows.
Don't neglect the weaned colts.
Keep them growing all winter by
providing sufficient good quality
hay and concentrates.
For the potiltryman Roy S.
Dearstyne, head of the State coUr.
lege poultry department, offers'
these suggestions:
Start chicks from blood-tested
parents; Blood-testing, if carefully
done,- reduces the chances of pul
lomm disease to a minimum. Never
start over two chicks to the square
foot in the brooder house. Provide
two half-gallon drinking founts and
two mash hoppers 4 inches: high
by 6 inches wide and 5 feet long
with reel for each 100 chicks
started.
Overheating : kills more chicks
each year than chilling. Be sure
to provide adequate ventilation of
the brooder house without direct
drafts.
Provide a . good chick starting
mash and maintain rigid .sanitation.
fresh eggs which command a high
er market price and keep con
sumers satisfied. He advises that
all eggs be candled before : being
marketed.
I,n candling eggs", take out those
which show a large air cell, a
flattened and plainly visible yolk,
blood spots, and thin white, Brown
said. A fresh egg has a small air
cell, a rounded and dimly visible
yolk, and a thick white.
The poultry specialist made eight
suggestions for the production of
quality eggs : (1) Keep only pure
bred poultry ; (2) privide floored
house with clean litter ; (3) en
close dropping boards or roosting
racks with wire netting; (4) use
high quality feed; (5) keep nests
filled with clean nesting material;
(6) gather eggs at least twice
daily in wire baskets so as to al
low ' them to cool quickly, and
leave in wire baskets over-night
or spread on trays to cool; (7)
store eggs in a cool, fairly moist
place until marketed; and (8) sell
or pen males at the end of the
breeding season, and sell infertile
eggs. .
A six-point program for the sale
of quality eggs is offered by the
extension man as follows: (1)
Grade for size and interior quality;
(2) candle . to remov e stale eggs
and ones with blood ispots. and to
separate according to interior qual
ity; (3) weigh eggs of doubtful
size and make at least two size
grades; (4) clean dirty' eggs; (5)
use good cases with clean filters
and flats, or pack eggs in attrac
tive labeled cartons; and (6) mark
et twice weekly.

Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.).
Lesson for February 11
LesBon subjects and Scripture texts se

Council of Religious Education; used by

THE PERILS OF REJECTING
CHRIST
LESSON TEXT Matthew 21:28-43.
GOLDEN TEXT I am the way. the
truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me. John 14:6.
Fearlessly facing crucifixion with
in a few days, Jesus stood in the
temple, there facing His bitter ene
mies and replying to their attacks
In words such as no man ever
spake. He brought them face to
face with the very essence of sin,
which is the rejection of. Christ.
Their own words condemned them,
but when they should have repented,
they became embittered and hard
ened in their sin. Let no one who
reads these lines follow their ex
ample, but if the Holy Spirit brings
conviction, turn to Him in repent
ance and faith.
Every Sunday School lesson is of
great Importance, but possibly no
lesson we shall ever have to teach
will be as important as this one,
for it deals very plainly with the
awful peril of rejecting Christ. Eter
nal destiny depends upon the choices
made in response to this lesson.
Let every one of us study it and
teach it with solemn earnestness.
I. Actions Speak Louder Than
Words (v v. 28-32).
All church members, who have
come into that relationship by
smoothly spoken words of accept
ance and devotion to Christ which
then have not been lived out in the
daily walk, may see themselves pic
tured in the son who courteously
and glibly assured his father that
he could depend on him, and then
promptly went Tiis own way. They
will see that they need to repent
and substitute real heart-moving
and life-changing action for. their
words, lest the harlots and publicans
pass them and go into heaven be
fore them. Professing church mem
ber without any evidence of God's
o power in your life, turn to Him
now!
Note the word of encouragement
to repentant sinners. Perhaps some
one who reads this paragraph has at
some time rejected Christ and has
since thought that he could not turn
back, that it was too late for him
to do the thing which his heart
tells him to do even though his lips
have spoken unkind words of rejec
tion. Friend, consider the one who
said, "I will not," but who did his
father's will. Come to the Saviour
now; you will find Him ready to
receive, you.
II. Selfish Unbelief Results In
Christ-Rejection (vv. 33-41).
This parable clearly relates to the
Israelites who had rejected the
prophets sent to them by God and
who were now about to kill His
Son. The heartbreaking story of Is
rael's unbelief and rejection of
Christ and the judgment- which has
been upon them all the years since
then, is not something over which
we should gloat, but rather some
thing which should move us to tears
and prayer for our Jewish friends.
After all, are we any better than
they? Are not the appalling ma
jority of Gentiles walking in that
same road of selfish unbelief which
leads inevitably to the rejection of
Christ? -
No man or woman can go on. self
ishly taking the benefits of God, us
ing them for self advantage or com
fort, turning a deaf ear to the cries
of God's messengers, and hope to
have any ultimate result other than
Christ-rejection. It is high time that
thoughtless people who perhaps have
no deliberate intention to be wicked
or to turn Christ away, should awak
en to the fact that they are doing
just that by their manner of living.
III. Rejection of Christ Does Not
Defeat God (vv. 42, 43).
At first glance one wonders why
Christ at this point turned so abrupt
ly from the figure of the vineyard to
that of the cornerstone. "The rea
son why He leaves for a moment the
Image of the vineyard, is because
of its inadequacy to set forth one
important part of the truth which
was needful to make the moral com
plete, namely this, that the malice
of the Pharisees should not defeat
the purpose of God that the Son
should yet be the heir that not
merely vengeance should be taken,
but that He should take it Now
this is distinctly set forth by the re
jected stone becoming the head of
the corner, on which the builders
stumbled and fell, and were broken
on which they were now already
stumbling and falling, and which, if
they set themselves against it to the
end, would fall upon them and crush
and destroy them utterly" (Trench).
God was not defeated by the cruci
fixion of Christ Christ will not be
defeated simply because men reject
Kim In the world. We who are on
His side, we who are the followers
of the Lord are on the victorious
tide. Those who oppose Him and
speak ill of His name may appear
to be victori for the moment, but
the judgment ot God is yet to come
upon them.
