Cotton Planting Time
Our experiment stations and
records from over 15,000 5-acre
contest fields nail down some
important facts about producing
cotton under present conditions.
A few of those things that ap
ply a this season are: Narrow
rows pay; stalks need to be close
in the drill; plant only good seed,
delinted and treated; don’t chop
too early, and leave plenty.
To be a little more to the
point, rows around 36 inches
have made the most, an average
of about 2 stalks to the foot has
been best, and recommended
poisoning has paid.

Boys Are That Way
It’s funny what ideas children
fometimes get.
For a long time I though my
Aunt Missouri was named that
because they w'ent to a different
Lutheran Church, one that be
longed to the Missouri Synod. *
We boys w f ere sitting on a log
there in front of the country
store one summer day about half
asleep Suddenly one of ’em said,
“Well, I be-dog!" We said.
"What?”
He had been looking at an old
Coca-Cola sign tacked there on
'.he store and said he had always
thought those words on it were
"delicutions and refrigerating”
instead of “delicious and refresh
ing". Not hat he knew what they
meant. But he had just always
accepted them as meaning some
thing extremely good. He did
not know what "delieous and re
freshing" meant and was much
gratified upon clearing that mat
ter up We really had a laugh
about that.
Hearing the old folks talk so
much about the Confederate
War. and specially grandpa, I
knew all about it, from our
standpoint. Grandpa was deaf, i
very deaf, and no one could stop
him when he started on the oft-
told tase of whipping the very
lard out of the Yankees on many
a battle field. I gathered from it
all that we really beat them into
the dust, and I gloated with him
over the great victory. Folks were
really still living that war then
and having the Yankees with-
venomous unquenched zeal.
Raised in that atmosphere,
imagine my utter consternation
and bewilderment when I got to
that point in my history book that
sort of reluctantly admitted that
we sort of lost that war. I could
not believe it at first. And it de
pressed me a lot. I had to get as
surance from parents before I
would accept it. But my childish
satisfaction was pacified a bit
when grandpa told me, "Yes, but
hey had four times as many men
as we, and we got two or three of
theirs for every one of ours.”
That experience still stands as
my greatest childhood delusion.

The bell rings, and its message is a clarion call across the
countryside. Beneath it, white lilies touched by the sunlight
look upward toward a cloudless sky.
This is Easter... the golden day ... the day of promise and
joy. This is the time when God proffers the great gift of
eternal life ... when he shows, in the lesson of the Tomb ...
that there is no death.
There is no more joyous occasion in the Church than Easter.
Against the setting of Spring, it touches the land with beauty,
bringing a new upsurgence of hope, thrilling the young, com
forting the old. Easter is the time to rededicate your faith ...
to listen again to a wonderful promise ... to receive again a
glorious gift. Start attending Church regularly by beginning
at Easter. '
