This amount of seed 's equivalent in food value for live stock or poultry to twelve and one half bushels of corn. The leaves also are valuable for fodder if properly cured. Every farm in the state can have and should have at least a fourth of an acre of sorghum. If any farm produces more than is needed in the home, ready sale can be found in the nearby towns and cities. It is a remarkable fact that with the fine soil and climate for the growth of this crop in this State, there is not enough sorghum sirup produced to supply the demands of the people of the State. A fine mat States and Canada for those who ket is also waiting in the Northern will make a high grade and uniform sirup. It is not yet too late to plant this year.

Kester Delivers Mas terful Sermon to Graduating Class Reception, Senior Other Exercises The commencement exercises of the Shelby Graded school are now in full swing and will continue through Thur sday night, with a pleasing program for each night. --On Sunday night an audience which 'overflowed the main auditorium and part of the Sunday sdhool room at the First Baptist church gathered to hear the masterly sermon delivered to the twenty-two members'- of the graduating class by Rev. J. M. Kes ter, pastor of the church. The speaker cho-e for his theme "The Call To The Highest," taking for his text Paul' declaration in Act 2G; 19 "Where upon, O kinr Agrippa, I was not din- obedTant unto the heavenly vision. It being more important to obey rather than to hear the call of God, so the speaker declared. Rev. Mr. Kester said in part: "We are always confronted by two great forces, each strving for our attention and ser vice: good and evil, high and low, God and the devil. I am anxious that all of us should ohey always the highest anil bctt, which is ever possible with God's help. I wanCthe members of this greduating class to live great lives. The cni! of the Highest is the call of God to man to become what he ought to be. God has a place and a purpose for everyone, his call to us is to fill this place and purpose. God Is Infinite and keeps a personal re cord of each of us. Our calls may not come in a great vision as did Paul's, but we may hear His still small voice through the reading of his word, thru the channel of prayer and thru the obedience to this call in doing the will of our Father, who if we ask Him will heir us chose even our vocation in this life, whether it be preaching, teaching, as a chyBician, or the more humble calls of life. Obedience is the price of success in any realm. We must give pur very best service and noT.j ba satisfied with our half best. May the 22 who are graduating this year soon find this very place, the very calling which God has for them. May you have the fear of that great teacher, Mary Lyon, who said, "I fear nothing In this world but that I shall not know all my duty, or shall fail to do it."
