minimum, and to maKe xarm uie sai

Estimates by the National Safety
Council show a 52 per cent increase
In motor vehicle deaths to farm resi
dents from 1944 to 1947. In other
types of accidents, about 4,300 work
ers were killed and approximately
300,000 workers were injured in 1947.
If the 1947 non-work toll 'was sim
ilar to that of 1946, the National
Safety Council believes the final fig
ures will show 14,000 non-work deaths
and 1,400,000 non-work injuries to
farm residents.

SOIL CONSERVATION NOTES
Frank Skinner has a good growth
of Kentucky-31 Fescue grass that he
plans to combine lor seed. These
seed should be ready between June
10 and 20. This is a type of grass
which is being tried in this area as it
appears to be well adapted for pas
ture on wet lands. Like rye grass, it
remains green all winter and dies
down in early ; summer, but unlike
rye grass, it starts growth again dur
ing late summer and early fall and
does not have to be re-seeded.
Soil Conservation Service techni
cians working with the Albemarle
District have been surveying a ditch
for Abe Godfrey of New Hopel Mr.
Godfrey, plans to cut , this ditch to
grade by hand to drain a low area in
his field. '
Goal for the 1948 observance, which
is sponsored by the National Safety
Council and the U. S. Department of
Agriculture , in cooperation with
number of other organizations, is the
elimination of at least 30 million farm
hazards. Each farm family is being
asked to accept responsibility, fo
eliminating at least one hazard for
every member of the family.
The long-range purposes of Na
tional Farm Safety Week are to make

Luther Turner in New Hope' com
munity is receiving benefits from his
white clover pasture that he seeded
last fall. He seeded two and one
half acres pasture in October and has
had four cows on it since the first of
April. Luther said, "The only trouble
was that I waited several years too
long before seeding his pasture."
There is quite a difference in the
amount of grazing furnished by a
properly seeded and fertilized pasture
than just a field with a fence around
it.

New Method
"What are you doing, darling?"
asked the man.
"Balancing my check book," re
plied the industrial wife.
"How do you do that, when you
don't even number your checks?"
asked the dubious husband.
"Well," replied the cheerful mate,
"I try to remember the different
checks I wrote while shopping, then
I add forty dollars and call it present
balance." '.'. -. ...
he called, "Ye servants of the most
high God, come forth." They obeyed
and .to the surprise of everyone, they
were unhurt . '
Nebuchadnezzar was so impressed
by the incident that lie acknowledged
that the Jews" worshipped , the true
God and changed his decree, stating
that all who spoke against the God
of Shadrach, Meshach and, Abednego
should be destroyed, along with their
property, "because there is no other
God that can deliver after thisort."
The ' experience of Daniel in the
lion's den is so familiar it. needs no
repetition here. Darius, the king, was
tricked into issuing a decree against
anyone's asking help of any god or
man, for a period of thirty days, ex
cept the king. Any who disobeyed
the king's decree should be cast into a
den of lions. ' Even though Daniel
knew of the law, he continued to pray
as he had always prayed to God-r-with
his windows opened and with his eyes
turned toward Jerusalem.
Reported by his enemies, Dariu
who thought so much of Daniel he
had placed him in one of the highest
official positions in his kingdom, rea
lized he had been trapped. He tried
hard to have him excused but the of
ficers held him to his decree. As he
condemned Daniel to the den, he
spoke these words of encouragement,
"Thy God whom thou servesj continu
ally, he will deliver thee." And God
did deliver him, with the result that
Darius issued a decree that God
should be worshipped, for he was the
living; God and could save from
danger.
Irving C. Tipton, in The Upper
Boom, declares: "The most significant
thing about Daniel's experience in the
lion's den was not. that he escaped
injury, but that no harm came to his
spirit The most significant' thing
about Shadrach, Meshach and Abed
nego' and the fiery furnace was not
that they came out unscratched, but
persecution ; ,v, Though - we pass
through great calamities, if we keep
our faith, God will bring us into
wealthy, place. It is after tumult
and fires of life that we hear the still
small voice',"
