Lesson for April 9: Mark 16:1 S; I Corinthians 15:41-58. Golden* Text: 1 Corinthians 15: «. The resurrection of Jesus may be established in the usual way we verify any historical event — ■by testimony of competent wit nesses of unimpeached veracity. Mark, whose gospel many re gard as the first written, tells of the devoted women who has 'tened to the tomb in early morn. A radiant angel sitting within told them Jesus had risen and bade them tell Peter and the dis ciples that Jesus would go before them into Galilee. . In the second section of the text, we have Paul’s great argu ment for immortality. He tells of the several appearances of Jesus after the resurrection, in cluding one to more than “five hunched brethren at once.” Some of these were still living and would certainly have exposed Paul df he had been trying to perpe trate a 'pious hoax upon men. The apostle reasons that if Christ be risen from the dead, we Shall rise. If he be not risen, we have no hope of redemption. For redemption is involved in the resurrection (I Corinthians 15:17.) Then follows the familiar verses often heard in funeral rituals concerning the hew of man’s res urrection. He will be raised a spiritual body. “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,” and “As we have borne the Image of the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the hea venly.” 1 V We may l>e dolefully affected by thf* manner in which many min isters read I Corinthians 15:55— as if the words mark the opening of a dirge. The words are an exultant question addressed to death and should be read in tones of triumph. Because Jesus has robbed death of its sting and stripped the grave of its power, we should exult over death and rejoice in hope of a blessed im v mortality. X Premium And Discount Rates On Cotton Loans Colored Registrants Called For Pre-In duction Examination Maestro Clemson, April 1. — Premium . and discount rates applicable to upland cotton under the 1944 cot ton loan program are announced by the War Food Administration through the Agricultural Adjust ment Agency, says J. M. Napier. extension-AAA agent. “Complete details on the 1944 loan program are not available at this time, as the basic loan rate is determined as 90 per cent of the parity price for cotton as of the beginning of the marketing year, August 1, 1944, says a statement from R. W. Hamilton, state AAA administrative officer. “However, officials said the premium and discount schedule is being re leased in advance of the complete 1944 loan program so as to give cotton farmers as much informa tion as possible before planting time in order that they may de termine varieties to be planted, or to make any adjustment in their 1944 production plans.” The schedule of premiums and discounts have been mailed to county AAA officers and commit- tAmen. Farmers may see the schedule by contacting any one of these. X The wolf can’t get to the door If he has to come through the Victory garden. Mr. R. W.

Control Cannibalism Among The Chicks Toe picking and feather pick ing, forms of cannibalism among chicks, are more likely to start among chicks which are crowded in the brooder house, says County Agent G. W. Bonnette. One means of preventing this trouble is to avoid putting too many chicks in one house. Get ting the chicks out of doors as soon as possible will also help. In case chicks start to pick one another, the injured chicks should be removed at once, the agent advises. Some evidence indicates that cannibalism can be prevent ed by feeding additional salt. In mixing starting mashes, 1 or 1 1-2 pounds of salt may be used to each 100 pounds of mash. If cannibalism starts, this amount may be increased to 3 pounds per 100 pounds of mash, for rrlore than one week, then be reduced td 1 1-2 to 2 pounds per 100 pounds of mash. Some poultrymen feed 1 to 2 pounds of ground meat per day per 100 chicks on outbreaks of cannibalism until the vice stops. This practice doesn’t always check this trouble, but it usually helps.
