around three million dollars is suf

estimated by O. L. Cartwright, as

“We must remember that insects
cause damage to growing corn in
two ways: They cause an unseen
loss in a decreased yield and a
visible loss in the destruction of
grain produced”, says Mr. Cart
wright. “About 20,000,000 bushels

Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian
soldier soon to lie beneath the
poppies himself, first gave expres

wrote:

Overseas Headquarters at Hamil
ton Hall, Columbia University. In
spired by its message, Miss Michael
bought silk poppies and distribut
ed them to the _men attending
the 25th Conference of the Y. M.
C. A., then in session, and poppies
were worn in honor of the wax-
dead for the first time in the
United States.
In Milwaukee in June, 1919,
poppies were sold on the streets
1 in connection with the 32nd Di
vision Homecoming. Just before
j Memorial Day in 1920, The Amer-
jican Legion sold poppies in Mil
waukee to raise funds for the
benefit of the disabled veterans.
That same year, Dr. Pender Jenson,
of Tacoma, Washington, search
ing the war cemeteries in France
for a comrade’s burial place, was
so impressed by the crimson mass
es of poppies waving over the
graves that, upon his return, he
had the Tacoma Post adopt the
poppy as its memorial flower.
In the summer of 1920, Miss
Michael urged the Georgia Depart
ment oT The American Legion to
adopt the poppy as its memorial
flower and this action was taken
at the state convention in Au
gusta, AugList 18-20. The Georgia
delegation to the Legion’s nation
al convention was instructed ’.o
work for national adoption of the
flower. At the national convention
in Cleveland, September 27-29, 1923,
the poppy was made the Legion’s
memorial flower by official action.
When the American Legion Aux
iliary was organized in Kansas
City in 1921, one of its first acts
was the adoption of the poppy as
the memorial flower.
The nation-wide salo of poppies
at the time of Memorial Day was
fcegn.n in 1921. At first silk pop
pies made in Fiance by French
widows and oi-phans were used but
soon the manufacture of paper
poppies by disabled American vet
erans was begun. The crepe paper
poppy made by American disabled
men in government hospitals and
poppy workrooms became the
standard American Legion and
Auxiliary flower. In 1924 the Le
gion turned the poppy program
over to the women of the Auxiliary.
The poppy is also the memorial
flower of the British Legion and
is worn throughout the British
Empire on Armistice Day.

Sunday School Lesson
BY REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
Jesus Inspires- Honesty
The list of approved prcc. ices
which will qualify producers in the
Southern Region for soil-buildinT
payments under the agricultural
conservation program include 1 '
turning under ^r leaving on th^
land a number of legumes and
other crops, according to Acting
County Agent R. D. Suber.
The total for soil-building pay-1
ments for a farm may NOT exceed
the soil-building allowance. This
allowance may be calculated by i
multiplying the number of acres
used exclusively for soil-conserving
crops in 1936, plus acres planted to
legumes following truck crops by
$1.
i’he list of practices under which
crops are left on the land or turn
ed under and the conditions of
payment include the following
practices with specified rates of
payments and conditions requii'ed:
Group 1—Soybeans, velvet be^ns,;
cowpeas, crotalaria, beggar weed,
and other locally adapted summer
legumes; $1.50 per acre, if grown
on cropland in 1936 and vines or
stalk left on land and seed not
harvested for oilmill crushing, or
$2.00 per acre if plowed under
green. j
Group 2—Crimson clover, bur
clover. Austrian winter peas, vetch,
ana other Iccally adapted winter
legumes; $1.50 per acre, when turn
ed under between January 1, 1936,
and October 31, 1936.
Group 3—Rye, oats, barley, Ital
ian rye grass, wheat or mixtures
of these; $1.00 per acre, when
turned under as green manure
after making reasonable growth
(not less than two months growth)
in the spring of 1936, provided that
such crops have not gone through
the dough stage.
Group 4—Any sorghum, Sudan
grass, or millet, seeded solid or
broadcast; $1.00 per acre, when
seeded between January 1, 1936,
and July 31, 1936, and all the crop
is left on the land or plowed under.
Lesson for May 17th.
Luke 19:1-10.
Gol’en Text: Exodus 23:15
How little we know about Zacch-
aeus! He appears just once in the
gospel record. Yet this small man,
with his queer name, is a striking
figure.
Consider his personality. We are
told that “he was a chief publican,
and he was rich.” This was enough
to condemn him. Tax-collectors
were never popular, and they were
particularly despised in the time of
Jesus. It was an unscrupulous,
profitable trade, and the people
could see no good in those, who
practiced it. They were amazed
when they found that Jesus visited
Zacchaeus’ home.
But while there was evil in
Zacchaeus, there was good in him,
too. He was weak in his world
liness, but had a clean, honorable
side. He could respond to high
ideals. The fact that he sought
Jesus clearly indicates a desire for
improvement.
Note the approach of Zacchaeus
to Jesus. He took the initiative.
Unlike Matthew, he did not wait
to be called, but eagerly sought
a view of the Master, impelled by
a fine kind of curiosity. His in
terest was not that of a small boy
who climbs a tree to see a circus
parade. It was a much deeper at
traction than this. It was moral.
Zacchaeus knew that our Lord
stood for a very superior type of
life, and he wanted, in the depth
of his being, to learn about that
life, and to follow it. This is why
he received Jesus so joyfully, and
was converted so thoroughly. De
spite all his strong interest in earth
ly meat, he was eager for heaven
ly food. Would that there were
more men and women like Zacch
aeus, who come to Christ of their
own accord!
Finally, it is instructive to study
Jesus’ approach to Zacchaeus. He
asked a favor of the tax-gatherer.
Often the best way to be of ser
vice to a fellow being is to persuade
him to do something for you. For
.ife is a mutual experience of give
ard take.
