It is the settler hacking fiercely at the primeval forest on his new, his own lands. It is Thoreau at Walden Pond, Lincoln at Cooper Union, and Lee riding home from Appomattox. It is corruption and disgrace, answered always by men who would not let the flag lie in the dust, who have stood up in every generation to fight for the old ideals and the old rights, at risk of ruin or of life itself, It is a great multitude of people on pilgrim age, Common and ordinary people, charged with the usual human failings, yet filled with such a hope as never caught the imaginations and the hearts of any nation on earth before, The hope of liberty. The hope of Justice. The hope of a land in which a man can stand straight, without fear, without rancor. The land and the people and the flag the land a continent, the people of every race, the Hag a symbol of what humanity may aspire to when the wars are over and the barriers are down; to these each generation must be dedi cated and consecrated anew, to defend with life itself, if need be, but, above all, in friendliness, in hope, in courage, to live for.

J It in SIM I c. o HI HI r fcir H l i quest for official measurement of their tobacco fields for the 1942 planting, it was stated at the county agent's office yesterday. The premeasurement plan is estimated will bring at least $10 000 in tobacco in a year, the coun ty agent's office said. "Many farmers have been underplanting their allotment. Some just one or two rows. This was done in or der to leave plenty of room, and stay under the acreage allotment. An exact measurement of the to bacco field will enable many farm ers to add several rows to their crop, and that will mean dollars next fall." . ; The plan is voluntary. ' Services of competent supervisors, all ap proved by the state office, will do the work, and this will be checked by the county supervisor. The cost of this work must be paid by the farmers who have their tobacco land measured. The fee must be paid at the time your farm is measured. The cost of this measurement will be a min imum of 1.25 for each farm with 2.5 acres or less of tobacco which is not planted in more that two fields. AH farms not in the above classification will pay a charge of nrty cents per acre or mty cents Mrgi Bruce Josiin( 0f Canton, prr item, is critically ill in the Norburn Bethel News News has been received here of the death of Mrs. Nannie Haynea Sentelle, wife of John Sentelle.

E. FERG U S O N Tax Collector and Tax Supervisor TIM E L Y Farm Questions and Answers Qestion: Is it absolutely nec essary to build new poultry houses if the flock is increased? Answer: T. T. Brown, exten sion poultryman, says farmers should look around for unused buildings before going to the ex pense of constructing new houses. Then, after the emergency is over, there will have been no large ex penditure resulting from the con struction of new buildings. A few dollars spent in converting an un used building into a brooder house or laying house will be a good in vestment. Question: Does it pay to cut or shred corn or sorghum being fed to farm animals? Answer: Cutting or shredding corn or sorghum lessens waste and makes for better bedding Some farmers cut their roughage in order to handle and store it in the barn loft more readily. In such cases, it should be dried thor oughly to prevent heating and molding while in storage. Question: Can registered Jerse vows have any white on them? Answer: Fred M. Haig, profes sor of dairying, says while it is true that most registered- Jerseys are of a solid color with no white, the presence of white on a regis tered animal of this breed doea not indicate any impurity of breeding. In fact, many breeders prefer some white, as it gives their animals "flashy" appearance. Nothing is said about color in the rules of registration for Jersey cattle. Question: Will warm water help hens to lay more eggs during the winter months! , Answer: When it is realised that eggs are more than 65 per cent water, the necessity for plenty of water in the bird' diet can be seen.
