THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER THURSDAY,SEPTEMR Jr Page 18 Livestock Most Important, Says Claud N. Allen There is nothing more important to Haywood County than good live stock because H is one cash crop that usually brings a fair price. It is important because livestock consume the feed raised which is turned into fertilizer which in turn! helps build the soil end. after ail, ' the soil is where we au gei our living. However, in my opinion, It Is very necessary that Haywood Coun ty improve its livestock, as we all know that the better they are the better price we get "I congratulate the county agent and stair on the fine work they are doing in promoting better livestock for this county." Haywood Has An Active Group Of Milk Producers The Haywood County Milk Pro ducers' Co-operative Association, Inc., was formed in April, 1939, for the purpose of .assisting the dairy men in the county in selling their products and to assist in further ing the dairy program in the coun ty. . .

In fact, you will have lost far more pre cious possession than money. You will be a smaller and meaner per son than you were before. Your success will be worse than failure. "When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wis dom." ; Money can buy much that should give us happiness. It can make us physically comfortable. We will have plenty to eat, nice clothes an J a comfortable place to live. . It will pay our debts and take care of our bills when we are ill.

He rebukes those who hold merchan dise back from those who need it when the price is low, and then sell it at exorbitant prices to make lot of money for themselves.

"Use and Abuse of Money" Our lesson today is on the right and -wrong ways of using wealth -"the use and abuse" of it. The 11th proverb is all about those who make a wrong us of money and those who make a right use of it. Not all persons who are poor are righteous and "acceptable unto the Lord" by any means. Poverty, in fact, often fosters conditions that make people steal and do other j wrong things. But it still is true that the temptation to make mon ey, whether by fair means or false, and to accumulate more, is the ,UMEE R Builder's Supplies - Lime - Cement - Plaster - Laths Brick - Roofing - Paints OSBORNE'S IDAIHY Quality Dairy and Poultry Products Daily Deliveries - Call Us H.

Gossips or "talebearers'' are re buked in another verse of the Prov erbs: "A talebearer revealth se crets; but he that is a faithful spirit concealeth the matter." 'A gracious woman retaineth honor," the Proverb says, and goes on to speak of the merciful man of whom Jesua said: "He shall ob tain mercy, "xne merciful man doeth good to his soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh." Parable of Dishonest Steward The latter part pf the lesson is taken from Luke 16, where Jesus tells a parable about a dishonest steward who was found out and dismissed from his master's serv ice, but who cleverly provided for himself so that he would not have to do mental work or beg. A steward was the agent of his master, collecting rents, overseeing the work of the estates and keep ing the records. The master found out about his crooked transactions and dismissed him from his service. So the man went to those who owned his master a great deal tf material and arranged that they should pay said master only a part and the rest should be saved for mm. He was a clever rogue, but i wonder how happy he was in liv. mg on such ill-gotten gains, Jesus concludes this parable by saying: "If, therefore, ye have not been laithtul in the unrighteous mam. mon, who will commit to your trust me true riches 7 "And if y have not been faithful w mat which is another's, who will gve you that which fs vonr own ? "No servant can aerve two m. li ters; for either he will bate the one ana love the other; or else be, will "wu w one, ana despise the other. ie cannot serve and mammon " We can make our choice. Either we choose to "lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven," by living righteously, being honorable, kind- j, merciiui. just, understanding; or we can simply aeek this nrlH wealth and ignore the finer parts of ur "rare. But we are warned by ..... wie man, soiomon, that "He that diligently seeketh rood turem "vor; but he that seek eth mischief, it shall come unto him. v" V at tru8t in his riches shall fail; but the righteous than flourish as a branch."

Sheep onee brought in a large income in Hay wood county; however, this year It is estimated that the value of lambs and wool sold was about $7,500. There is no livestock enterprise that pays more for the money invested than a good flock of sheep properly cared for. Last year three sheep growers kept records on their flocks and re-' ported as follows: No. ewes . ; 93 Value of Iambs sold ... $721.60 Value of wool sold 152.75 Total for lambs and wool ....$874.35 Gross income per ewe - $ 9.41 Average value of ewe 10.00 One can see from the above fig ures that for each $10.00 invested, a grosa return of $9.41 was mile., It is not always possible to make gross profit of this amount, but under proper management this is a fair average. Many farmers have gone out of the sheep business because of dogs. The county officials and sheep grow ers must co-operate in ridding the "ounty of sheep-killirg dogs if wt ever expect the sheep population to increase. In one county in West ern North Carolina the sheep grow ers have come together and organ ized an insurance company. Each sneep grower pays 15 cents per head insurance per each $6.00 val uation. When a sheep is killed by dogs a committee goes out and makes an investigation and if they determined the sheep was killed by dogs, $6.00 per head is paid. Thi is in addition to the listed value to be paid by the county commission ers.'' It will pay more farmers to keep good sheep.
