H. Y. Belk AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY Preacher Monroe from Temple Church paid the folks in the val- . 3y a pleasant visit last week. He's a fine young preacher. f Mr Brand is ^ McDaniel, Pat and Mr. Bill Ross visited your reporter last weekend from eastend. . We spent Sun day at ? table rock. The moun tains were very beautiful. Trtf trees were painted in many colocs, by the hand that formed the hills and the gorgeous valleys. It was a lovely day to view the wonders of all those changing scenes. Our flowers are blooming and they are very pretty but they fade so soon. I love flowers, don't you? October with her changing col ors has passed on by. Here's No vember reminding us that next month bring us Christmas. When I was a little child I wondered if Christmas would ever come a gain. Now it comes so often and gone so soon, with the silent year taking toll. We all live, love, FLOOR COVERINGS Inlaid Linoleum and Rub ber Tile, installation by factory ? trained mechan ics.

Then what, another life. Death is something we all dread. It comes so soon to each and all. The poor man in his rags gets his call, same as the rich man in Jiis palace. Socrates died without a murmer, . but Jesus asked His Father to get Him off. Which was the stronger? This statement w'as carried in connec tion With a religious article which appeared in a magazine recently. The writer m&ant to be reverent, but hecausc he did not know his Bible, he uttered a blasphemus statement. Jesus never asked his lather to save him from the death on the cross. He prayed to be delivered from death in the garden Let this cup pass from me U it be thy will. In the garden the devil concen trated all his demon hosts on Christ, in 'fcn effort to kill him. Jesus had already declared no man taketh my life from me. >1 lay it down of myself. Hie fell as if death were about to overcome Him in the garden. When He asked why ray God, my God hast thou forsaken me? God heard the prayer of Jesus in the garden. There are mysteries connected with His birth, His incarnation and His death on the cross and the resurrection from the grave. But it's all true for God's word teaches us that thru the cjoss or by the cross is the only hope for- man. It is claimed that the war is over in ? Korea but how soon it may break out anew, men can not tell. God alone can tell. He permits wars that good may come of It. But so soon we forget and start a new born war. So ?!

There no artist hand could of painted the loveli nesa-of a eafth so grand with all tho.se scenes of beamy, other than a mighty God, made by his mighty han,d, Oh, it was fadeless glor>\ this lovely October day. Then as 1 stood on that mountain top and I wondered how God had created such gorgeous beauty for. his children to behold. Then I wondered how poor little man could mar the beauty of this lovely earth with all these death dealing . wars destroying the works and marring the beauty of God '8 Created earth wreckage of dead men, dying amid all this earthly beauty. Then I bought God's Mighty Hand ruled above it all. Still I thought there must be hope for the fallen created man on his earth if he will only discard there ever growing wars. But how long will it be 'til men learn to live in peace, somewhere sometime not far off in the diS: tant future in God's own time ? shall the Lamb and the Lion to gether lie down in peace. Just a thought, Papa Stalin visited the Russian one and asked an old lady on the street: "How's things going?" "Oh, pretty good. She replied, on ly we don't get milk any more." "Well," said Stalin, "In'the Af rican desert they don't eve nhave water." - When God sends a man to the lion's den He goes there with him. Daniel was not afraid of all the lions 1n that den. Some people sow all tneir wild oats on. week days and on the Lord's day go up to the church and pray that the crop will fail. We can't whip the Devil around the stump that way., . The world history goes back to Adam- From Adam to Atom bombs. Truman is the father of our country. Washington was only a dirt farmer. One trouble with the people in the world is that we each want to be human and want everybody else to be perfect- Big I and little You. Somebody must have plowed Hen Wallace under. He's as mum as a mouse. Of the many admitted virtues of the U. S. A minding our own business is not one of them. 1 Most nearly true today than ever before ? "he who" steals my purse steals trash." One of our friends who is try-, ing to grow a new lawn says the grass id as hard to start as Hen ry Wallace's Third Party. The two most important men in the community when I was a boy were the preacher and the doctor. What confidence we had in them. Now I"m older. I have little confidence in myself or those either. I for one lost faith and confi dence in all women years ago. Then I learned they are better than men. Neither one no good without the other. That's been proven. You remember when the Lord God put Adam in a deep Sleep and took a rib from his side and made the most beautiful toy that'sAyalked this earth. If it had not been for man, no, women could be found. Oh my dear. When patriotism can be bou ght for a price the hope of hu man freedom is lost forever. Our American way of life is the only sound and sensible way. Who would say it otherwise? Our. Uncle Joe Stalin. He must be a liar. Every time you drop a word of praise for the folks who make this paper you help in many ways. Lord, thou hath been our dwelling place in all questions. We still look up to thee with faith. ? If Webster were living today what would he call men In this fast age of greed and money grab bUig? Would he be astonished? No wonder there are so many heart failures. The New Deal boob has become a boorerang. Men care only for money. Mohey is the root of all sin.

"What kind of trees should I set out Around my house," Is a quesrtion many farmers are ask ing now. There ate many that wjll produce abundant shade, but none can compare with the pe can tree for giving both food and j shade. Certainly trees set on the back side of the house should be | pecans, and they are as equally suited for the front. Howeve.r where more trees than the pecan are used, it's probably a good 1-1 dea to put the pecans on the back side of the house. At least, you may gather more of the nuts. ' The most desirable pecan trees j for planting are those having one-year tops, 4 to 5 feet high.) Too small or larger than these are j objectionable. Trees should be ' set out as soon as they become! dormant or anytime between De- | cember and February. If planted] early in the winter, new feed ; roots will be formed by spring to i support new growth. Trees should idents take to the air and travel 1 like so many birds.

If you lived in dear old Soviet j Russia you would vote or go to | jail. Take your choice Bud. Men cried out for Salvation I thousands of years ago Men are still looking to be saved the same old way. The plan has never been changed- ?? When I was a child I used to | read in the Bible about the Child ren of Israel going into .Canaan. God said to the Children of Is rael: Kill all the men.

In setting the trees, prepare holes for setting large and deep enough to accomodate the root system without trimming, usual ly 2 1/2 feet deep and 2 12 feet wide. Set the trees 1 to 2 inches lower than the tree stood in the nursery row Fill holes about three fourths full of topsoii and pour in water. Finishing filling the hole after the water disap pears. Cut off 1 4 to 1/2 of the top of the tree when planting is completed. Many trees die the first year because of lack of wa ter. To conserve moisture and to, keep down grass and weeds, pla ce a mulch of straw or similar material around the tree. Do not fertilize at the time of planting. Varieties best suited for this area are the Stuart, Brake and Cape Fear. All of these are resis- j tant to scab. The Sciiley is not re- ! commended because it is very J susceptible to scab. Old pecan j trees should be fertilized each | year with a complete fertilizer, something like a 6-8-6. Apply 2 ; to 3 lbs. of fertilizer annually per : Inch of trunk diameter 1 foot from the ground. Apply one-half in February and the remainder after a crop has-been set. Exten-, sian Circular No. 342 ? "Pecans, ' Planting and Culture," is availa-j ble free through the County A gent's Office.
