FARM NEWS i
By L. A. AMMON
Have you used the spike-tooth
harrow on your corn this year?
more and more of the farmers are
following this practice. Shut your
eyes the tirst time, and do not go
back into the held for a few days,
and you will not feel so bad about
the deed. A very good way to kill
early weeds. It keeps the surface
loose and. the air can get in and the
corn, whether up or not up. enjoys
the extra air for a few days.
Lets make it more of a general prac
tice.
Remember how that cheat in the
rye hurt our seed rye last year, it
is now ready to pull, and let's hope
many will be at the game this ye;:;'.
Heard to-day that, Herman Kitchen
has some pigs. Don't rush him too
much as he only has thirty, and thai
will not begin to supply the shortage.
The next ten days is a good time to
plant the soy beans, wili do up to
July Fourth for hay only. The ac
reage will not ht cut as much as first
thought, due to the high price of
seed. Several new users this year.
Thirty.-two people sprayed apples
this year, as compared with eijrht
last year. Too bad so much of the
fruit was killed. One-fourth crop of
apples left, it seems now.
The McCoy-O' Kelly poultry ranch
lost fifty-two nice friers last week
from eating rose bugs. Twelve of
these bugs are supposed to kilt a
hen.
Several new parties arc thinking 6i
entering, the poultry business next
vear in a commercial way.
Miss Gennette Tailey tried out
broilers tor the market t:ii> yca.,ai.<.?
states there is more money in ihem
than in cattle considering the an.uun:
invested. Do you keep books with
your chickens, so you can give me
some figures .' Same would be ap
preciated.
Early potatoes are going to be
late, and the camps had better Iook
out for a supply of old ones. We
have a few yet. and I would be gi.i-l
to put the managers in touch will:
those having a surplus.
Poultry Market
The Federation truck took away
crates of chickens I* riday , and k> .'
lack of coops had to leave some iov
next time, ihey paid ^4<is i'oi iiie
load. This makes $900 for the three
trips.
Chicken market is dull from re
ports this week. Hens are down two
cents and broilers down to thirty-two
cents per pound.
Clover seed have dropped two
cents more per pound, but are yet
very high, at 32 cents wholesale.
The bean beetle has appeared at
last, but not in as strong numbers as
last year, considering the number last
August. Hand picking of these first
ones is your best go for control of
the later ones. For those having a
larger acreage, use calcium arsenate
and lime as a dust or arsenate of
lead as a wet spray. The big job
or the rub, is in placing these on the
underside of the leaves. I have the
poisons for the fight at my office..
Remember that the way in which
you handle your bear, crop will help
place a cannery here or turn it away,
as beans are a base crop ior a can
nery.
With all the eggs that we will have
for sale next year, why not someone
strat a sure -to- goodness, poultry
store' and handle things in a whole
sale way. A good opening for the
future it seems.
A REAL farmer from Henderson
County is expected to buy a good
farm in this County ra the next few
days. Eyes are turned our way now.
so let's put more pride in keeping
our farms clean, and presentable.

m FMYER CORNER
FAi i H A ? i ?> ii ft V 1 E
One fundamental reason for the
"Endless Revival of the < liur li" i
that faith never is sati.-ii 'd until i'
issues in work. It insists on o ;r In
ing Servants One to Another.
We speak of (Joel's merciful < ? ; J -
tance of a man, when out of sin he
turns his life,- by faith toward Chii-t,
but to interpret this a:- the- adequacy
of faith without effective service i.
to misread the Scripture and !<. ????
moralize life. Faith that does n?.l
lead to service is no real f?ith a! all.
But whenever men endeavor i i
press in work any faith which t.
may hold, they must come ??ogether.
As one writer , " :?Tvic.*
volves co-opera; A hermit ma\

concern any idea! i, mi er-.th; r.
has no outlook i <.v?n .-mil

As soon as men are ?rra. pe.< by

becomes impossible. They mils-,
combine in a fellowship f" . . i : j ? ?
of iabor, to seek common ends. They
begin to say with Edward Rowii ? !
Sill, "For my part, I long to fail in
with somebody. This picket duty is
monotonous. [ hanker af; ;? a .shoul
der on this side and th" ot1 -r." And
to fall in with other to -erve <'hri?
tinn ends means some kind ? ? f chur*ii.
Let u.s pray today for a church more
fit to express this passion to serve.
To the Master, religion meant } ? a
eiousness and magnanimity, -cK *" ? r -
getfulness and self denial, hi d: | ap
pose and deep joy in ministry. In.o r: l
less brotherhood and a love- hacked
by no ingratitude or sin.
The heights of His faith in God

A PRAYER FOR FAITH AND
SERVICE
God, we pray for Thy Chunh.
which is set today amid the pcrpl- x
ities of a changing order; and face
to face with a great new tad;.
We remember with love, the nur
ture she gave to our spiritual lif ir
its infancy, the tasks she .< : for on
growing strength; the influence o.
the devoted hearts she gathers. ' 1c
steadfast power for good . !: has > v
erted. When we compare her >vith
all other human institution < we re
joice. for there is none !:,;r her.
But when we judge her by the mind
of her Master; v.*e bow in pity and
contrition.
Oh. baptize her afp-sh in 'he life
giving spirit of Jesu:. Gr;;. " her ::
new birth, though it be w-;l: the fra
vail of rep-.'ntance ar.-i huir/iiation.
Bestow i'.:>on her a more imiv-rious re
sponsiveness to duty; a swif;- ? com
passion with .suffering, and *1 utter
loyalty to the will of God.
Put upon her lips the ancient Gos
pel of her Lord. Help Iter to pro
claim boldly the coming <-r ' < <.? King
dom of God. arid the doom of all that
resist 't. Fill her with he orophe.
scorn of tyranny, and with a Chvr-t
like tenderness for th: iieavv laden
and down trodden. Give In .? faith
to espouse the cause of the people,
and in their hands that grope after
freedom and light to recognize the
bleeding hands of the Christ. Fid
her cease from seeking her own life,
lest she lose it. Make her valiant to
give up her life to humanity, that,
like her crucified Lord, she may
mount by the path of the cros- to a
higher glory, for ilis dear sake who
loved her and gave himself for her.
Amen.
