PAGE FOUR THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. a, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, IMS 4 SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON JOHN AND PETER IN GETHSEMANE. International Sunday School Lesson for April 18, 1943. GOLDEN TEXT: "Watch and .ray, that ye enter not into temp-, tation." Matthew 26:41. Lesson Text: Matthew 26:36-46; John 18:10-12. Following the celebration with hia disciples of the Passover in the Up- per probably at the home of the mother of John Mark, Jesus led his eleven followers (Judas having ai ready deserted) to the Garden of Gethsemane, where he was accus tomed to retire for prayer. En route to the Garden, Jesus en deavored to prepare his beloved disciples for the approaching events of the night, saying that they would all be offended because of him. Not understanding what he meant, Peter quickly, with his customary impetuos ity, immediately questioned such a prophecy concerning himself. It would probably have been better had Peter not been so confident and boastful. However, Jesus told Peter that he would not only deny having known him, but would do so thrice. Even the repetition failed to alarm this courageous fisherman, who, in his blind confidence, confidently as CHICKS AND HATCHING EGGS Big Type English White Leg horns. U. S. - N. C. Pullorum Cleaned.

Arriving at Gethsemane, Jesus took Peter and John and James and went further into the Garden with the ex pressed purpose of praying and with the request of his three disciples that they tarry there and wait. By way of parenthesis, we might point out that Jesus, the Son of God, felt the desperate need of prayer in facing this supreme test of his life. Surely, you and I should cultivate the spirit ual power to stand the tests of our lives which will come to us through prayer. Hardly had Jesus left them than the three disciples fell into deep slumber. Looking back over the cen turies at the happenings recorded here, we are quick to condemn these friends of Jesus for their lack of sympathy or their disregard of the request of their leader. However, looked at through the eyes of the disciples, perhaps we should not be too critical. What would you or 1 have done under similar circum stances ? "When Jesus with his disciples en tered the Garden he was facing the most troubled hour of his earthly ex perience. He fought his way through to spiritual victory, but as he enter ed, the fight was on. At such a time as that, the men whom he might have expected to stand by him failed him miserably. He had to fight out his battle alone, that was inevitable, but they could have stayed awake and showed that they sympathized with him in what he was passing through. "They were dreadfully weary. Anxiety and worry are hard on the nerves, and men are often no better than their nerves will let them be. And then it is doubtful whether they fully realized the danger their Mas ter was in, or the possibilities that faced him. He had been in difficult places before and had come safely through, and they must have expect ed that he would always do so . . . "It is one thing to be indignant at the way Peter and John failed their Master in this great crisis, and quite another thing for us ourselves to stand loyally behind him and the causes which are dear to him. There are enough people called Christians to carry through successfully many important Christian enterprises that are failing through lack of support. Standing by Christ even in our own day is often no easy task." Martha Tarbell. To this retreat the soldiers of Pilate and the Temple police came to arrest the religious teacher whose influence the ecclesiastical leaders feared would overthrow their author ity and wealth. Judas came with tiu party, pointing out his former Master by means of a kiss. The bearing of Jesus was so majestic and his repu tation so widespread that even some of the soldiers fell down in awe as he approached. Peter, to his credit, drew hia sword to defend his leader, but Jesus rebuked him, for his kingdom was not one of material force. It could not be founded or maintained upon a ba sis of physical violence. So, Jesus himself admits his identity and ac companies those who sought him. He was carried first before the ex-high priest, Annas, and then to the ruling ;high priest, Caiaphas, where witness es testified against him. At length, Jesus affirmed his divinity and the tribunal voted him guilty of blas phemy. After the examination before An nas, which was made in the early hours of the morning, Jesus was car ried before Caiaphas, who seems to have occupied another wing of the same palace, connected by a court yard. In this open place Peter, who had followed John to the palace, waited, and during his wait, denied on three separate occasions charges that he was a follower of Jesus. As the third denial was made, Jesus was being led through the courtyard for his next examination and it was then that he rebuked his fickle follower by one sad look, which was enough to cause Peter to rush out into the night, weeping bitterly for having so soon belied the brave words spoken earlier in the night.

Later, these same cowa were given a full ration of similar feeds, but in different pro portions, and the average production jumped to 7,125 pounds of milk and 352 pounds of fat per year. . Although more feed was consumed during the second period, the cost of producing one hundred pounds of milk was 27 percent less, points out Arey, and this was due to the in crease in milk production. The specialist said that if all North Carolina dairy cows were giv en a full feed ration and a resulting increased milk production obtained like that in the test at Willard, the VT . f 1 . average iNorui uarouna cow wouiaj produce 269 pounds of fat rather than'l58 pounds, and North Carolina would add 42,138,600 pounds of but terfat this year to meet increasing Avar needs.

C. 1 Leaders of Agriculture have long claimed that Eastern Carolina farms were adapted to the production of livestock and livestock products. But that is about as far as the leaders claims have gone in most counties 111 this section until recently. Our last census figures show that only one dollar of livestock and livestock pro ducts sales to every fourteen dollars of crop sales for Eastern Carolina. Farm Security Administration fam ilies in Perquimans County during 1942 have changed the agricultural leaders claims to bold reality, ac cording to figures furnished by A. Houston Edwards, County FSA Su pervisor for Perquimans County. There are 145 small farmers being assisted by the FSA in Perquimans County. The record further shows that these families sold a total of $104,495.40 worth of livestock and livestock products during 1942. The sales were made from dairy products, beef, chickens, eggs and hogs. This made an average income of $706.05 per farm from livestock and live stock products sales. It is really re markable when compared to gross farm incomes for the Tidewater area. They show that 35.8 per cent of all farmers' gross incomes from all sources were less than $600.00 'per farm. It is also interesting to compare the FSA families livestock and live stock products incomes of $706.05 with the same income for all farmers in Perquimans County. This was $210.99 per farm, according to the 1940 census. However, it is expect ed that a considerable increase was made by all farmers in the county in the past two years. How 148 small FSA farmers sold almost half as much livestock and livestock products as were sold by 1,056 farmers (the total number of farms in Perquimans County) just two short years ago is not just a happen so. The Farm Security Administration program has since its inception been advising its borrowers to go into livestock production coupled with a live-at-home program on a sound basis. With the outbreak of the war it was realized that livestock and livestock products food would be neodnd in greater quantities than ever so the local supervisors have pushed this with the families in their supervision and educational work. They have helped the families to de velop plans along those lines by making loan funds available for live stock production as well as crop pro duction. Farm Security families in Perquim ans County are really trying to do their bit to aid the war effort by raising livestock to sell to feed the men in our armed forces. More Milk Produced By Good Care And Feeding Milk production of North Carolina dairy herds can be greatly increased through proper care and feeding, says J. A. Arey, dairy extension spec ialist at N. C. State College. Years of herd improvement asso ciation work in the State has con clusively shown that unprofitable production 01 many cows 13 due to poor feed and care, rather than to a lack of the inherited ability Ao pro duce milk. k , Arey cited the records of eleven mature Jersey cows 'which were on test at Willard. With a medium feed allowance, which waa v better than that received by other nearby turat Experiment Station at State College. Recent government regulations per mit the use of the 0.6 rotenone dust in the control of the pea aphid, ac cording to the scientist. He .also said that a dust containing one quart of 40 percent nicotine sulfate (blacK leaf 40) in 26 pounds of hydrated lime will give fair .control. Dr. Smith suggested that dusting begin as soon as aphids are found on about half of the "plants and that often it is necessary to make an ap plication of dust before the first blossoms open. Some years the plants need not be dusted more than once but in years of heavy infesta tion it may be necessary to dust sev eral times. "The plants must be dusted thor oughly and the dust must rnn ' in contact with the aphids Jn,?r kill them,'! said Smith, He . ed that a trailer be used to the dust to the plants so that both sides of the leaves as well . as( all other parts of the plant , ,co"! be , covered with the dust. '' The small green aphids gel ' under side of tfhe leaves, on ta ten der pods, and on the growing tips of the vines. An easy method of de termining the presence of the aphids is to Jar the plants over a piece of white paper or cloth. The aphids will drop off and can be easily seen on the white material. Dr. Smith urged a regular inspec tion of the plants throughout the season to determine when control measures are necessary. Rotenone Dusting Controls Pea Aphid The pea aphid, which causes larger and larger losses to the May pea crop each year, can be controlled with a dust containing 0.5 rotenone, says Dr. Clyde F. Smith, associate entomologist of the N. C.
