A producer who signs the com- hog contract may increase his tereage planted to feed crops, such ' ^oils or barley, in 1934 above his il&acreage of such crops for 1932 or 1933, providing he brchses by the same number of ;s- the maximum number of res he is permitted under, the •contract to plant to com in 1934. For example, if John Doe is per mitted to plant a maximum of 80 acres of com in 1934, he may re duce this maximum to 79 acres and plant an extra 10 acres to feed crops, above his feed crop acreage for either of the past two years. Farm crops to be counted as feed crops are oats, barley, rye, grain Sorghum, soybeans, cowpeas and all other crops which are custom arily or frequently used by farmers in feeding livestock. This interpretation liberalizing the contract was made because in many cases the crop rotation sys tem of the farmer makes it de sirable for him to increase his acreage of feed crops this year.

March 3.—Pro viding for amole feeds and proper feeding is the most important matter in attention to livestock in March, say Clemson specialists, in their early spring livestock calen dar for busy farmers. Animal Husbandry Preoare to plant some Biloxi soybeans for hog grazing about April 1. Wash out hog houses with lye and hot water before sows farrow. About three days before sows farrow wash udders with soap and warm water. Put sows and young pigs on un infested territory. After pies are two weeks old feed sows all they will eat of a well- balanced ration. Gradually temper mules to spring work. Prefer pats to corn when mules start heavy work. Remove rocks, wires, etc., from oastnres to make ready for mowing machine. Dairying Remove cows from onion-infest ed pastures five hours before milk ing. Clean up lots and haul off litter to destroy breeding places for flies. Use some acreage cut from cot ton for more feed crops. , Silage and legume hay make ideal roughage feed for next win- ter. % Plant one-half acre per cow in pearl millet or Sudan grass for summer grazing. Poultry Raise baby chicks separate from old birds. Provide feed for chicks in clean troughs or hoppers. Get chicks into sunshine early. Clean brooder houses regularly. Plant green feed for summer. Arrange to secure stock for flock improvement next season. X>Y IW CLarles E. Dv» ntx PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM Lesson for March 11th Matthew, Chapter 13 Golden Text: Isaiah 9:7 The characteristic method of Jesus was to herald His message in the form of vivid pictures, or par ables. In this way He guaranteed that the gospel would be surely remembered, for pictures always remain in the mind more easily than argument or exposition de void of imagery. “Truth embodied in a tale” is a very effective form of instruction. In the beautiful chapter chosen for our lesson there are eight strik ing parables. An entire period could be devoted to each of these annealing stovi?s. Two of then}, the parable of the sower, and the pprable of the tares, are full length sketches. The others are vignettes merely. Suppose we look at four of these miniatures. Consider the parable of the mus tard seed. Here we have a pro phecy of the expansiqn .of the di vine.. Kingdom, The * mustard .seed,"* proverbially the tiniest. of all grains, becomes, at last, a mighty tree, its splendid branches lifted heavenward for the refuge of birds and the comfort of man. So is it with the commonwealth of God. The life of Jesus was obscure. Few h-ard His gracious but urgent gos- r«i. At the time of His cruel death JTis movement was a mere speck uron the horizon of men’s inter- e~ts. But look at it now! Through tlv* long centuries it has gathered tr- itself many riches and peoples r’ til it stands before us today, a p at treasury of thought and life. The parable of the leaven illus- * 'ites the permeating quality of r'xl’s Realm. Note that leaven is j -.vard, unseen, and silent. So the d’-dne kingdom advances in the i ner hearts of men, as an invisi- b’e, quiet force. Shunning notorie- tv. statistics, and trade returns, it nakes its presence felt unobtru sively, calmly, without the blare of t - umpets. But its influence is none the less effective! The parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price illustrate the surpassing worth of the heavenlv common wealth. In both cases there is ex ultant joy over the-possession of wealth of supreme value. - For tuck Relief Demand And Get GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN Because of a unique process in manufacture.
