Gorn-Hog Program
In Growers’ Hands
mnm 1 ‘ ^
Practically all producers of corn
and hogs, whether or not they took
part in. the 1934 program, are eli
gible to sign a 1935 adjustment con
tract, according to E. L. Rogers,
county farm agent, who. states that
eligibility in all cases will be de
termined hy the county allotment
committee, which acts in accord
ance with instructions from Wash
ington.
Those eligible to sign include per
sons owning* and operating their
own farms, and tenants operating
farms on a cash rent or fixed share
agreement, persons operating farms
being purchased by them for cash
or for fixed commodity payment,
and tenants operating farms rent
ed on a crop or ‘stock share lease or
agreement.
The new corn-hog program, like
the old, will be largely in the hands
of local farmers. Community com
mittees and a county production
control association again will be
organized to lead the program here,
says Mr. Rogers.
Each county committee will be
reorganized at a general meeting
as soon as practically all applica
tions for the 1935 corn-hog con
tracts have been received for the
county. Producers who sign ap
plications for a contract are en
titled to one vote each.
The agricultural extension serv
ice and the state com-hog commit
tee again will assist with the pro-

Lesson for February 17th,
i Peter 2:11*17.
Golden Text: Rowans 13:10.
"Abifcain,” writes Peter in our
lesson text, “from th&> passions of
the flesh.” Never was this advice
mQfe needed than at such a time as
t i% We hare repeated the 18th
amendment and., no effective sub
stitute has been found. Meanwhile
th^. nation has swan#, back with

mjtted to lift its, head/again.
More than a year . has
do we find? “As concerns
lieppr," says Mr. Choate. Federal
dhaohap of alcohol control, “the
Hsdtesh Gtates is living in a fool’s
paradise.” Bootlegging, he points
out, continues on an immense
scale, for twq-thirds of all the
liquor sold In our country comes
from illicit stills. Moreover the
number of drunken drivers has- .,
greatly increased. Vermont; for ex
ample, reports five times as' many
automobile accidents as in any year
previous to repeal. The saloon, too,
is once more with us, even though
called by such a respectable name
as “bar” or “grill.”
Thus the pendulum has swung
back, giving booze a new lease of
life. It was Israel Zangwill who
emphasized the conviction that
every new generation must expert-
be true that each age must have
its fling with rum.
In a time of such a set-back *the
duty of the church is plain. She
must preach and practice, with
Undiminished zeal, the gospel of
absolute sobriety. The odds against
her are terrific, for hundreds of
millions are now being spent to
educate our people into habits of
intemperance. The commercialized
drink trade now has a. free hand.
But the church’s influence is pow
erful. We must not despair. We can
win. ’ : ’

R OYSTER Field Tested Cotton Fertilizers are the result of 50 years
of experience, and the expenditure of thousands of dollars in
research work. €[ Behind every bag of Royster goods is a reputation
that it has taken a generation to build. Royster has never sacrificed
quality to price or tonnage, and never will. Wouldn’t it be wise to
make sure of a good crop of cotton by arranging right now for Royster’s
Field Tested Cotton Fertilizer? See your Royster agent and let him
know how many tons you will need. Of course, all Royster Fertilizers
are non-acid-forming.
