According to spokesmen of the Livestock Producers Association a real scarcity o f beef can be ex­ pected within the next sixty to nine­ ty days, with pork supplies and re­ serves dropping drastically during the last half o f 1944, and perhaps before, Perhaps you remember the nation­ wide rubber salvage campaign of 1942, and how the country responded to the government’s request fdr any­ thing that looked like rubber, Last week Rubber Director Bradley Dewey said that out of 754,000 tons collect­ ed in the Rubber Salvage Campaign from ten .to twenty percent will be discarded, as valueless. The cost to the government will he somewhere between $1,875,000 and $3,750,000. ALONG FARM FRONT (Continued from first stage) small-grain rops. Topdressing wheat with manuare, four to six tons per are, will help .boost yields of forage rops needed in the wheat. While many farmers ...hesitate to redue the amount of manure going to the com crop, tests at the experiment station show that dividing the man- re between the corn. and the wheat does not reduce the yield of corn in the rotation. A better hay crop, means a better sod to turn under for corn.

Pilose 2-4777, Collect, (2t). Hybrid Corn Sets New Record The best corn hybrids' outyielded the best' open pollinated corn varieties by 28.7. bushels per acre in Ohio in 1943 accordingto D. F; Beard, crop specialist of Ohio. State University. Mr. Beard who has completed the check on scores of yields tests reports that a number of the newer hybrids are. far superior to hybrids develop­ ed several years ago. . . » The averdge yield of all Ohio corn in the period 1930-36 was 35.8 bu. per acre, while the average yield in the next seven years was 45.5 bu. per acre. Hybrid, corn was beginning to replace open pollinated varieties in the first seven-year period and was planted on 80 per cent or more of the states corn acern'ge at the end'of the second seven years. RidVaUle of Grubs- . Cattle grubs besides reducing milk production ruin millions of dollars worth of leather and moat each year. They cause inflamation and- pain and slaughterers, report that more than a third of'the hides taken from cattle are damaged by cattle grubs. A grub killing mixture is made by dissolving 12 ounces of ground den-is root in a ■gallon of water and used Ur scrub the backs o f cattle. A gallon of the mix­ ture will treat about 14 head of cat­ tle. There should be three treat­ ments, thirty days apart. Fertilizpr Applications Increased . The total amount -o f commercial, fertilizer used in this years crop pro­ duction must be 15 percent more than •the average if 1944 food production goals are to be reached. The most im­ portant single, fertilizer application is the amount used on small grain in which a legume crop .is to be seeded. This fertilizer serves two purposes; it improves the grain yields and helps the legume seedings get u quick start.and to continue growing - • Corn responds to applications of 150 pounds of fertilizer per acre ap­ plied in the hills or 300 pounds when corn is drilled in rows. On light col­ ored soils which have been meanured a 2-12-6 or 0-T4-7 is recommended. The latter may also be used on dark soils where jnanufe has been applied. On light colored soils where a legume sod has been plowed down use 4-10-6, 2-12-12. Dark soils with legume sods receive 0-14-7 or 0-12-12, Applications on both light and dark soils lacking manure and legume sods should be 4-10-6, 2-12.6 01-3-12-12 Ten Times More Corn Borers in 1943 More than 10 times as many corn borers were found in Greene County fields in 1943 than in 1942. According to the U. S, Bureau of Entomology who made •the survey the past two ears an average o f 146 borers per 100 plants were found in 1943 as compared to 14 borers in 1942. The survey was made -each fall and the count is based on date collection from 10 fields taken at random with 25 plants examined in each field. Most o f the borers found in 1943 were' second generation larvae and came too late to seriously injure the com. - The heaviest infestation was found in [ Miami, Madison Champaign coun- I ties. In northwestern Ohio where * damage has been heaviest in previous years, there were fewer borers. In ! area corn was planted -late and the I first brood eggs were laid on oats j whore the larve.died before reaching maturity. : ifeMttiMttNi mm* 1944 Production Goal 5% Above This Year’s Farmers Must Plant 380 Million Acres Record acreages of soybeans, dry beans and peanuts harvested in 1943 will be topped in 1944 if national re­ quirements for these crops are met, according to War Food administra­ tion reports. Special emphasis will be placed on these foods, as well as on cereals, dry peas, potatoes, canning crops, and flax and feed crops in planning new seedings)' Farmers are expected to plant a total of 380 million acres, or 5 per cent more than in 1943, with largest increases on peanuts, dry peas and wheat. , A .national planting of -68 million acres, has already been asked on wheat, 26 per cent more than in 1943. . Peanuts and dry peas will proba­ bly be up ‘ as much as 30 per cent, and increases for dry beans and soybeans may be 14 tq 18'per cent, A Connecticut farmer and his committeeman discuss production problems. These committeemen i r e farmers themselves, elected by their neighbors in. each county. Their job is to work with the Agricultural Ad­ justment agency and other govern­ ment agencies in giving advice and assistance to the nation’ s food pro­ ducers. Committeemen can be help­ ful in obtaining priority ratings on -machinery and building materials, in getting loans,- or in hiring farm­ hands. '• or more, above the current harvest­ ed .acreage, it is announced. Both types of potatoes, regular and sweet; will be stepped up with com show­ ing a small increase. • . Hemp and flax, jt is pointed out, although not'food crops are of first importance to the war. Hemp for rope and flax for oilseed are in the front line of every•battle. ' Feed crops will receive emphasis because, of increased needs for more livestock, and the •importance of j maintaining production of eggs and. I milk at the .level of 1943, or raising output on both' commodities. Con­ siderably inore beef and veal will be sought in 1944, but pork produc­ tion ,is not expected to exceed 1943 b-V—more than a few per-cent.

Extension of pasture will be urged to relieve this feed shortage. All idle land should be planted to" some cover crop such as alfalfa, clover, or some cereal grain, Rye and some •varieties of wheat serve well as over-the-wintcr coverage. This policy also returns needed min­ erals to the soil. Planted acreage should be ex­ panded without - plowing up, land which should be kept in grass. Us­ ing idle cron lmd, on* of production in recent ycatv, w.d speeding up the cycle of crop rotation on -(aims where it is feasible are the answer, according to Ivlarvin. Jones, WFA administrator, He also pointed out that sound farming methods must be employed to insure high yields over a period of years, since food demands will continue to. be heavy for a long period to come. The War Food administration will continue its program of support prices to establish desirable price relationships, it is announced, mak- ing-it easier to obtain adequate in­ creases in rqost needed crops and cnerally to balance total produc­ tion. In determining crop emphasis, farmers even in the principal-1wheat states of the Great Plains have been asked to give'priority to dry beans, potatoes, (lax and‘grain sorghums in some areas. First call in the Pa­ cific -Northwest is also-for dry jieas, dry beans, canning crops and pota­ toes, Soybeans, corn, dry beans, potatoes, (lax and canning crops will be emphasized in the Corn Beit and Lake state:;.

And Jesus said, I am.—Mark 14:U, 62. ' Boron— Deficient Soil ■Revealed by Turnips Boron, like nitrogen,* phosphoric acid and potash, must bo present in soil if .plants arc to grow satisfac­ torily, says Eldrotv Iiccvo, graduate fellow in soils and plant physiology at'Rutgers university. Often .a few cento worth of boron will make a field several times more productive. A good way to detect boron de­ ficiency is through turnips and ruta­ bagas, If they show dark brown splotches the soil is boron-deficient, As our Lord entered upon the last week of- His earthly ministry, the time had come- for Him to present Himself officially to His people as their Messiah. As He did so, we observe that H e"then had and now has a right to claim all that we.have and are, as well as to exercise judg­ ment over us. I. His Right to Property (w, 1-7). We are so. prone to call, our pos­ sessions our own, And to hold them for our selfish purposes. Just a mo­ ment's reflection makes us 'aware that we are but stewards holding our things, ■as we hold ourselves, for the use o f G od ' That means that the Lord need’ only send for what we have, and we should gladly yield it to Him. “ The Lord hath need” is the only reqfuiai-, tion- we need. He, has absolute pri­ ority. And yet the very fact that He has need of us and what we have, dignifies our service or sacri­ fice on His behalf. • - How surprising it was that the One who made and upholds - all things (Col, 1:16, 17) should have to say, “ Th,e 'Lord hath need of him,”i. in sending for a humble beast of burden. Yet therein lies a marvelous . truth. He has graciously so ordered the universe that He has heed of us and of our possessions. Let us also learn the important lesson of •unquestioning . obedience taught in verse 4. ‘ ‘They went their way” to do what the Lord told them, to do. How greatly simplified and glorified would be the lives of Chris- _tian_people if they would thus obey Christ.- , As He came riding into the city, uTp AhQprvA* i II. His Right to Praise (w. 7-10). God says, “ Him that offereth praise glorifieth me” (Ps. 50:23), and the believer recognizes that “ praise is comely for the upright” (Ps. 33:1). Jesus is entirely worthy of the praise of every ,heart and- voice. • Presenting Himself as their Mes­ siah, Jesus received the enthusiastic! acclaim of His disciples and friends, who were probably joined by others who were drawn by the excitement. The Pharisees did not join in (see Luke 19:39, 40) nor did.the .city, not 'even knowing who He was (Matt. 21:10, H ). So it is today; some love and praise Him, some hate Him, others just ignore Him, Of which* class are you? He gave Jerusalem and the-nation a final opportunity to receive Him. It was not yet too late, but it was their last chance. Such a tinto comes in the life of everyone of us. They rejected Him. Uo we? But even though some did reject, let us not forget that there were those who shouted, "Hosanna,” who cast their garments down before- Him and waved palms of victory and joy. Thank God. for their holy enthusiasm. Pray God that we may h a v ea littlem o reo f.it. III. His Right to Punish (vv. 15- 18). People like to hear about a God of love, one who knows their weak­ ness, and is kind toward their in­ firmities. But we must not forget that God shows His lo've by a great and_boly_h_atred_of"sin^and- a desire to deliver us from that sin. This means that He must and will deal in drastic fashion with those who persist in their sin.- A-second time He drove out from His Father’s house those who had made it a place o f merchandise, of commercialized thievery. This is a majestic picture. The Son of God and Son of Man steps into the center of this unholy traffic and with mighty, holy indignation (not anger) drives it out. The peo­ ple who had suffered long because of this religious racket, which paid a nice “ cut” to the. priests themselves (probably as a “ gift” even asjsuch things are managed now), were jubi­ lant. / We read in the same story in Matthew 21:12-22 that the boys who were in the temple (for such is doubtless the meaning of “ children” in verse 15) were so delighted at this magnificent exercise of His di­ vine authority that they broke out into “ Hosannas,” which really amounted , to a holy “ Hurrah,” Well, why not? Hurrah for our Lord! He will not tolerate iniquity even though it hides under the cloak of religion, He is not afraid to speak out and. to act against sin and cor­ ruption. Possibly the church would reach a good many more -men and boys in our day if it would step out in faith to fight the wrong and support the right. Then maybe the'young men would shout, “ Hurrah for the chur.ch,” The chigf priests and scribes were afraid and displeased- and began to plot against Him. The passage, in Matthew indicates that their anger was aroused both by Ihe acts of Jesus and the praise of the boys., / . 8ACM SIXTY- CONGF HAPP ¥ By C l-4 •Ml'!: Last wi-i l tous in Was Pearl •llarhi ■ War- It w laration—a ence by the domination the Chief J • from.the Ai one of \\r over-riding - the 1943 Re culmination Congression series of hoi tial diaregiu rogrative’s i. •The resign!
