OR. KEHHET8 I. fORfMAK , SAVING THE STRAW A new operation has been add­ ed to the farmer’s work schedule. A trip ’round our community last week would have revealed dozens of wheat fields being de-strawed by a very modern process. An ear­ ly discovery in the era o f the combine was that straw left lying on the ground killed the young grass corning on in the stubble, "immediately farmers set about to solve the problem, and in doing it they set a new harvest-time task for themselves. The straw is raked and modern automatic halers handle it, and presto, two things have been accomplished: The grass is beckoned upward, and the straw, a time-honored utility on the farm, is baled fo r any uses the farmer wants to make o f it. DISPLACED PERSONS Our county is receiving a group o f D P ’s — displaced p e r s o n s Bombed out, warred hopless—no homes, no work, no future—they turned, prayerfully to America. ’Thousands o f them are finding newr homes in a land so different from what they have known that few of them can believe it can he anything short of heaven it­ self. Can you imagine how our country must look to them? Not a sign o f a bombed-ont city. Not a hint o f poverty, or hunger or penury- No fairy story ever told them as children was as fantas­ tic as what they are seeing. Oh, i f we could appreciate it like they do! BRINGING THEM UP “ Bring up a child in the way it should go , . You know the rest. Besides reading it in the Book you have seen it demonstra­ ted. We are giving a lot o f at­ tention, and rightly, to bringing up children in the way they should go. The story o f the 4-II camp, and its activities was cheering. Young people, our. very finest, being taught lessens o f leadership, and sharing playtime, worktime and prayertime together. We can build a nation o f fine folks that way.

We Americans have taught the Brit­ ish sovereigns a lot o f new things, starting with George III. Bob Garrett, Philadelphian, let his pigs get out and nibble nice green nibblage in a neighbor’s truck patch all summer. The judge raled that Bob owed $400 for the rootage. Frank Garrett, Wilmington, went swimming the first time for years. Pleurisy set in before he had swum three strokes. He made it to shore and will take all his swimming out just visiting pools and looking. Dick Heitman o f San Diego missed his pet monkey, Willie. He found him in a self-help laun­ dry taking a bath in one of the electric washers. AH the women had left the place screaming. Dr. Goodloe, Columbus, believes that all tuberculosis in the whole country can be stamped out in 20 years. John Dillinger, like Adolf Hit­ ler, is a name that is under con­ stant resuscitation. Feature writ­ ers' are telling a tired world that it was 15 years ago that his name was on every tongue. More people visit his grave than visit the graves o f a dozen world-famous people in the same cemetery, Crown Hill, Indianapolis. Ed Babcock, Ithaca, N.

GodCanBoTrusted Lesson for July 31, 1919 E VEN if you do nothing else with* this lesson, it will be a good thing to learn by heart some of the Psalms of Trust which have been selected for your study this week. They are far too rich to be treated in one column. * * * Who Can Trust in God? P SALM 34:16-22.) Not every one has a right to trust in God. Those who do not believe in him, do not love him. work against him, try to break down and corrupt those £ who do believe in h im — these need ’ expect nothing at his hand. Bui there are three classes; cf persons who are encouraged to put their trust in God. One is the "con­ trite,” the repen- Dr. Foreman tant, those w h o sincerely wish to be cut free from their sins—these can surely trust In God for forgiveness. One who cannot trust God for forgiveness has no. right to trust him for any­ thing else. Then the “righteous,” as the Psalmist calls them, have a right to trust in God. If that word means only the perfectly and altogether good people, it would leave all of us out. But in the light of the Bible as a whole, the righteous are those whose dominant de­ sire is to love and serve God. Their service is imperfect, their love is far from perfect, and no man is without sin. But if you can say with Peter, "Lord, thou know- est that I love thee,” then you have a right to trust in God. Also the broken-hearted can safely trust in him. 'Whoever else may break your heart, God will not. He is the great Mender of hearts. For the lit­ tle sorrows there may be lesser comforters; but the real heart­ breaks only God can cure. *■ «r 9 Why Trust God? F ALM 37 gives one answer: The opposite of trust Is worry, and worry never did any good at all. Worry eats into the mind, casts nos light, gives no strength, solves no problems, worry makes any trouble worse. Then the writer- of PsaTm 34 gives another reason for trust: he had tried it. If trust in God were simply a doctrine of theology or a theory of preachers, not many peo­ ple would take it seriously. Trust is really passed on by a kind of contagion from heart to heart. If there are not more people who know what trust means, it is because those who have known have kept It too much To themselves. It would be a wonderful stimulus to most churches to have a little “ cell” of people who would really ’ agree to trust God every day. * * *- When to Trust in God O NE of Dicker’ s famous charac­ ters used to make a great point, of being cheerful under the most un-cheerful circumstances. Anybody can be jolly when every­ thing is lovely, he said. There’s no credit in not worrying when there’ s nothing to worry about Although the writers of the Bible, one and all, trusted in God, not one had an easy life. Read Psalm 46, for example; it gives a picture of a world much like ours of today, shaken to its foundations, torn by wars, a deso­ late, discouraged world. If it made sense to trust only under bright skies, religion would, have perished long ago. • • • For. What Shall We Trust God? N O ONE PSALM puts the whole truth in one nutshell. If you read Psalm 91, for example, by it­ self, it would seem to prove that if you trust in God you will never die a violent death, nor an early*one; but too many saints (and indeed our Lord himself) had died early and violent deaths, for us to take Psalm 91 in that way. Trusting in God does not mean he will give us long life. It means he will give us strength to match our days. It docs mean he will give ns all we need. It docs not mean ’ we shall he shielded from troub­ les. It does mean he will save ns from tronbles greater than we can bear. It does not mean that In this life we shall be wholly free from hardens or from pain; It docs mean we shall have strength in oar souls (Ps. 138:3). Which is the greater thing—to be a weakling wearied by a straw’s weight, or to be one of God’ s ath­ letes, able to bear the worst the world can pile on? {Copyright by the International Coun- en ot Keltgiou* Education on behalt of 10 Protestant denominations.

BROWN Writes With a Buckeye In Gonarsss The House adjourned Monday of last week in respect to the memory c f supreme Court Jus­ tice Murphy, whose death In De­ troit that morning was unexpect­ ed. According to Capitol cloak­ room "ossip, the President will name either Senator McGrath of Rhode Island, also Chairman of the Democratic National Com­ mittee Senator McMahon o f Con­ necticut, or Senator O’Mahoney e f Wyoming to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court. Last week this column, based on the latest information received from tiie Department o f Agricul­ ture, stated there would he no acreage restrictions on the 1950 wheat crop. A few* hours after the column was written the De­ partment changed its position and announced a 17 per cent cut in wheat acreage fo r 1950 planting was being ordered. Howevery-if the Agriculture Department-has not again changed its thinking, there will lie no marketing quota set on the 1950 wheat crop. The announcement last week by Representative Hugh D. Scott of Pennsylvania that he will sub­ mit his resignation as Chairman of the Republican National Com­ mittee at its meeting to be held on August 4th, was not unex­ pected on Capitol Hill. Scott, who is not a member o f the Commit­ tee, and who had been elected as Chairman at the insistence o f Governor Dewey following the close of the Republican National Convention at Philadelphia last June, has had a tempestuous ca­ reer as National Chairman. He will, o f course, continue to repre­ sent his Philadelphia District in the Congress. Despite the last minute appeal from Speaker Rayburn to his fellow Democrats to stand by the Truman Administration, the house last Thursday turned down the Pace Bill, which would have au­ thorized a “ trial run” on the Brannan Plan and substituted In its place a measure by Congress­ man Gore o f Tennessee to con­ tinue the present farm price sup­ port program, under legislation enacted in 1938, with only a few minor changes. The bill now goes to the Senate fo r the consideration of that body. The National Grange and the American Farm Bureau were opposed to the Brannan plan and -fhe Administration- sponsored Pace Bill, but favored the Gore substitute bill. The under-cover proposals of the Administration to transfer atomic seci’ets and supply atom bomb mechanics to two friendly foreign governments is meeting with strong opposition on Capi­ tol Hill. It now appears most un­ likely that any such action will be taken. The State Department is ex­ pected to soon announce a new American policy toward China & the Orient. Recent developments in the Far East, and the organiza­ tion o f the new anti-Communist Pacific Union under the leader­ ship o f China’s Clyang Kai-Shek, is forcing this change of posi­ tion by our Government. The Truman Administration, which six months ago was de­ manding complete control over prices and wages, supposedly to prevent Inflation, is now* going all out fo r more public spending, easier credits, and more business activity, to stop the deflation or recession now spreading over the country. As we had been predicting in this column, the Senate last Thursday ratified the North At­ lantic Defense Pact by a top- heavy majority. The vote in fa ­ vor o f ratification was 82 to 13. However, many Senators who voted fo r ratification expressed grave doubts as to the wisdom of the action taken. At the same time they also expressed the belief that failure to ratify the Pact, after Mr. Truman and his Sec­ retary o f State had sponsored it, would have an extremely bad ef­ fect on our international relations. T w o hundred and eighteen House Members have signed a discharge petition to take away from the House Committee on Post Offices and Civil Service, and bring to the Floor for* a votfe, a bill .to give a pay increase to the nation’s postal employees. The measure, which is said to he opposed by Truman Administra­ tion leaders, is expected to pass the House but may run into diffi­ culties in the Senate. The Ohio Congressional dele­ gation has been hard hit by ill­ ness recently. Congressman Cliff Clevenger, of the 5th District, has heen given a leave o f absence from his official duties to re­ cover from an eye ailment re­ sulting from intensive study and work as a’ member of the House Appropriations Committee. Con­ gressman John M. Vorys, of the 12th District, has just returned to his Capitol Hill offices Jollow- ing an attack o f virus pneumonia. Representatives J .' Harry Mc­ Gregor, o f the 17th District, underwent an emergency opera­ tion a week ago to relieve a pain­ ful and dangerous ear infection, and is now recovering satisfac­ torily at the Naval Medical Cen­ ter near Washington. The Presidential message re­ questing funds.for furnishing mil­ itary aid to a number of foreign countries, which was scheduled to be presented to the Congress Fri­ day of last week, has been held up until some time early this week. It. ip understood the Presi­ den t will request an appropria-: tion o f $1 billion 150 million to furnish military supplies to the nations o f Western Europe who are signatories to the North At­ lantic Defense Pact. An addition­ al $300 million is being requested for American military, aid to other foreign nations, including Greece and Turkey. POLIO CASES DOUBLE Reporting 80 polio cases in Ohio in mid-July, health authorities declare that is almost double the number, 45, at the same time last year. .NEW MINISTER Rev. Allan Peterson has been installed as minister o f the Pres­ byterian church in Washington C. H. and in Bloomingburg. He succeeds ReVi John Glenn, retired, who served thq, congregations 22 years. - ALWAYS THE GOOD PROVIDED Small turkey Talk The young lady poses a close- up on a very young turkey—one of the streamlined variety creat­ ed to meet*modern demands for small birds to suit small families and to fit kitchenette ovens. Each of several of the older varieties contributed one or more of the de­ sired characteristics to this small white variety, characterized by a compact body, short legs, long keel and plenty of breast meat.„ Careful records on thousands of birds from carefully selected stock were necessary before the “ apart- "ment size” turkey was developed. ’Summer Milk Slump Costs Fanner Plenty “ Summer slump” in milk produc­ tion costs farmers plenty in good, hard cash. On the average farm there is about a 30 per cent drop from May until early fall. Some of the loss in production arises because a higher percentage of cows are dry or approaching the end of their lactation period, but many dairy specialists believe that much of the loss could be prevented by better management. . . — ,v -• Plants, Like Humans, lire Finicky Eaters Isotopes Tell Amounts Of Fertilizer Utilized Atomic scientists have learned that some plants, like some human beings, are finicky eaters. This new knowledge, important commercially, is the result of ex­ haustive tests with radioactive iso­ topes of phosphorous in fertilizers. Radioisotopes, sometimes called ' ‘tracers,” are atoms whose nuclei emit high-energy rays that can be detected fay sensitive instruments. Thus, the movement of substances containing such atoms may be fol­ lowed or traced at all times. Before radioisotopes were used, it was impossible to tell how much fertilizer a plant would absorb. But by using radioactive phosphorous iu phosphate fertilizer, for instance, scientists know the amount each plant takes. As a result, a scientist now can tell a firmer who spends $50 to put phosphate fertilizer on his land whether the plant only “ nibbles” or takes a bite big enough to repay his expense. During these experiments, Scien­ tists were surprised to discover that plants sometimes have distinct likes and dislikes for certain “meals.” For example, it was learned from tests in North Carolina that corn liked the phosphate from fertilizer for a time, then would, switch to Ohio, until 10:00 a. tp.., Ohio Stan­ dard Time, Tuesday, August 16, 1949, for im­ provements in: Clark and Greene Counties, Ohio, on Sections GRE-72-(15.49-18.92) and CLA-72- (0.00-0.44), State Rt.

New, Longer HogsProduced InMinesota Minnesota hog scientists have developed a “ new look” ip. hogs, a streamlined animal from snout to curled tail, which may revolu- -tionize the hog business, they say. They call the ney/-modeH hogs “ Minnesota No. 1” and' Minne­ sota No. 2,” which sounds, like they were going to run ’em east and west.on the railroad, and in fact they are intimating that these hogs will do more railroad .riding than any hogs ever have-— “ little pigs going to market” be­ ing the .theme song. They are not content to stop ■with. hogs, but are streamlining sheep, too, with No. 101 and No. v102 on the schedule. “ This is not a promotion, not a demonstration, but an experi­ mentation,” says the spokesman for the “ pigs is pigs” movement up. in Swedeland,' Experiments have been going on for 25 years, and results are being tabulated with all details. The scientists are elated over the progress, o f their work and the product they are presenting to the world. And they say they have only begun. Draft Horses HaveLittle ValueNow “ The fire has burned out under the draft horse market,” In these words Frank Hunni- cutt, for 60 years a dealer in draft horses and well known to three generations of Greene coun­ ty farmers many of whom he serv­ ed regularly, summed u p ' the farm-horse situation as he finds it. “I saw you with two nice-look­ ing horses in a truck the other day,” suggested this newspaper’s reporter. “Where were you go­ ing with them?” “ They went to John Wise, a farmer in below Greenfield. I suspect they’ll be the last farm horses I ’ll sell this season—may­ be the last I’ll ever sell,” he said. “ But some farmers here and' there use horses don’t they ?” The reporter asked. He smiled: “Well there may be some ‘there’ but there’s none ‘here’ that I can find.” “ I get around the country a good bit myself, and come to think of it all spring in 3,000 miles of driving I didn’t see but one team of horses doing any farm work, and I remember now they were plowing a garden in the edge of Bellefontaine.” “ That’s about the way it runs —one team to 3,000 miles; and that one team is for sale,” said the dealer, one-time dealer that is. “What did the team bring, do you care to tell us, as Tom Howard on ‘It pays to be ignorant, says?” “ I got less than $100 for the team,4and it was good team, too; two bays, nicely matched and weighing 3,660 pounds, 8 and 10 years old. I’ve sold many a team, not as good as they were, for $500, and oftentime for .more, than that,” he narrated. j “ Not only are the horses d is -! appearing, with no market for j them, but what horses are left are being sold to the ‘killers’ to be shipped abroad, or to use cer­ tain kinds of food preparations here at home—but h'orses as horses for farm work are no more.” I The horseman of yore and th e ! reporter separated, each g o in g1 his way, but not horseback, each j Highway Department Iprovements in accordance with Sec- ; tions 17-3, 17-4, 17-4a, 17-5 and j 17-5a of the General Code of Ohio.” } The bidder must submit with his •hid a certified check in the amount ---------------™--------------------------------- of $10,000.00. with a memory of the good old !
