Editorial Appearing In August 1949 Issue, The Progressive Farmer Let's Turn To Livestock - In Time ARE you growing the things you want to be growing for the next 10 years the next 20 years? If not, and you would like to keep more milk cows, more hogs, more beef cattle, or more sheep get started now. What your farm produces this year and next may determine what it will be allowed to produce for for years thereafter. Cotton is piling up on us. So next year the Gov ernment will tell you to plant less. Ho wmuch you can put in will largely depend on how many acres you have been growing in the past. Sooner or later America will also have too much milk, too much beef, too much pork, and too many chickens. When this happens, the Government may tell you how many cows you can milk, or how many hogs you can keep, or how many chickens you can grow. Your allotment will depend on how many you. have and have had in the past. Tim efor Southern farmers to get started in live stock may be fast running out. Don't get caught holding the bag in' this case, idle acres. Cotton especially seems fast heading back into- the same life-and-death struggle that was going on before the war came along. A lot of light bulbs are being burned out in Washington and elsewhere, try ing to figure out what lies ahead. Of 6he thing, tho, we are certain:Next year,w'e won't be able to plant as much cotton as this year. Then we'll probably plant less the next year, and so on. But the South can afford to plant less cotton if we will only set out to make use of the South's climate ancLpasture opportunities and set out to supply the South's own needs for more meat, milk, eggs, and poultry. Let us see: 1. As long as a big part of the milk used in our cities is shipped from the Novth, we can afford to add more milk ews and plant less rotlon. 2. As long as most of the eggs eaten in Southern cities are ship ped from the North and West, we can afford to j3J inoi-e hens and plant less cotton. 3. As long as we can turn hogs in a corn or grain sorghum field and the hogs will pay twice as muih for the grain n th? a, we can afford to add more hosrs and plant less cotu.n. 4. As long as we can turn grass into beef on yeir--r.;,r.il pasturf , we can afford to add more beef cattle and plant lec cottou. Very fortunately for the South, it may possibly be several years before America produces such a sur plus of livestock, dairy, and poultry products as to justify quotas. Dr. B. T. Simms, USDA animal in dustry chief has been quoted as saying that America will need to keep its level of livestock production 35 per cent above 10 years ago. The sam cgenoral opin ion was expressed in a recent speech by Dr. W. I. Myers, dean of the Cornell College of Agriculture, at the recent American Plant Food Council meeting: Speaking of the livestock situation, Dean Myers stated that live stock numbers have not increased as fast as population and that livestock per peson is approaching an all-time low. In the last 60 years there have been only five years during the drougth of the 30s when per capita numbers were lower than now. . . . ."There is an Important Job ahead if we are to continue to provide a high quality diet for our growing population in the face of these trends. The only ways to avoid declining per capita supplies of milk, eggs, meat, and other products are greater efficiency or increased im ports. Even with high efficiency much more feed will be required for livestock if eur food standards are to be maintained for an in creasing population. Here, to our way of thinking, lies the South's goJct-' en opportunity. The answer to the nation's need for. more meat, ; - milk, and eggs is not in increased imports from fore . ign countries, as Dean Myers suggested, but increas-' , ed production right here in the South. While the . nation still needs more livestock, dairyand poultry .; products, Southern farmers must move in move in quickly and help supply this need. If we fail to do so, then producers in other sections will fill this gap as fast as they can. Then later on when quotas are imposed it will be too late for the South to cash in on its tremendous natural advantages for year , round pastures and increased hay and grain pro auction. ,.. , - Someone has said that nine-tenths of wisdom con sists of hew? wise in time. This is certainly true of the present I P msituation in th South. The South :: should turn to more livestock-and turn quickly 2 there is tiiae.

God's Map for Me Lessen -for August tt, 1M HOW did the writers'of the Bible think about the Bible? We can get part of the answer by looking at our Psalms for this week. These poets already possessed a part of our Bible: the Law, some historical books, perhaps some of the Proph ets. It was an Incomplete Bible they had but they loved It They did not think of it or use It In some of the mistaken way you may find some people thinking of the Bible today. They did not think It was enough to read a, line or two. before going to bed" every night They did not think that having copy of it around would bring good luck, or scare 'oft demons. They said nothing about the Bible's being great literature. - Dr. Foreman They were not at all bothered by miracle stories in Scripture; they believed them, and took them as evidences of the mighty power of God (see Psalm 105). They did not look on the Bible aa chiefly a dictionary of Don'ts. They did not think of it as a Sab bath book, but rather as an every day one. It did not strike them as book of mystery. The Psalmists' Bible IN reading Psalm 10:7-14, It It In teresting to see how many differ ent things the Psalmist says about the Word of God. He calls It by various names, but that is only be cause, being a poet, he likes to use several words for the same thing. As for Psalm 105, where else but In his Bible would the poet nave learned that story of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and the de liverance from Egypt? The reader of this Psalm will observe that the subject of meat of the sentences la GOD. At the poet reviews bis people's history, he shows that It la not Imply the doings of the Israel ites, but It Is God whs brings ' things to pass. "Man proposes but God disposes" Is a proverb which the writer of Psalm 105 would approve. Psalm 119 Is known as an "alphabetic" or "acrostic", poem. It is divided into 22 sections, each one exactly eight verses long. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet nd m the. Hebrew original of this Psalm each verse of the first section begins with the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Aleph; in the next sec tion, Beth, and so on down to the last letter. Tail. The Book of God WHAT the writers of these Psalms said about the partly-done Bible of their times Is of course even more true of the completed Bible which Is our heritage as Christians. One : thing they make clear is that this Is first of all Sod's book. They knew as well aa we do that different human minds had a part of it but for all that It Is always God whose message comes through what they wrote, the Bible, properly' understood, reveals the mind of Godsend the will of God. The Bible reveals' also the domgs of God. His story is the weaving of God's eternal decreea on the looms of time. Again, these poets see that the Bible is for man and about man. None of them thonibi of It aa guide to hesvea, but rather aa road map er to guide e. t through the maaes at hla world. psalm 119 stresses this world, -. and no ether, as the world eat ' which God's light shnes. , The commandments ( of Ood are so many lengths of barbed wire to fence us In, rather road-signs to guide us on life's open highway.
