X- 38 Schools In McCormick County To Have Forestry Quiz Contest The Church Speaks-. —■ ’ l. The Parable of the Talent* In the parable thete are three points of emphasis. . First, Jesus definitely recognizes that all peo ple are not created equal. There is no more blatant fact than that all people have not been created equal. One man has been born into a home of wealth and cul ture; another man has been born into a home of poverty and ig norance. One man has been born with a strong physical constitu tion; another man has been born with a weak and frail body. One man has, been born with a native ability that borders upon genius; another man is born ‘with native ability that borders upon imbecili ty. The second point of emphasis is the use that men make of their gifts. Two of the men put their talents to work and added to what was given them one hundred per cent. The other went and hid his lord’s talent in the earth and when he came again returned the full amount. Let us not forget that he did not waste his talent and squander it in riotous living. His one great mistake was that he re fused to puV it to use. Is that not one of the basic truths of life that we see every day? God has en dowed us with certain gifts, and unless we use these gifts, we lose them. All the farmer has to do to lose his farm is to fail to use it. The merchant that refuses to work at his business is certain to lose it. The young man or young wom an that comes out of high school or college and does not use their training will lose it. The third point of emphasis in this parable is the conditions that it lays down for the approval of the master. It does not teach that the man with one talent ought to have earned five talents, two talents, or even one talent. The only thing that was necessary was that he be faithful. He should have used what was given to him with all faithful diligence. “Thou hast been FAITHFUL over a few thing/, I will make thee ruler over many things”. If we take the gifts which God has given us and use them to our very best ability, we shall all receive the crown of life which awaits His saints in glory. M. E. Boozer.

BONNETTE, County Agent.) The annual forestry quiz contest began Dec. 1946, in McCormick county. G. L. Sharpton, Ranger, reports that 36 of these schools have been completed. Questions concern forestry and forest fire protective measures and 1 small prizes are given winners. How about falling in line and do some thinking and prepara tion for that spring garden? Secretary of agriculture Clinton P. Anderson has designated Feb. 2-8 as National Garden Planning Week. McCormick County gar deners have always been some of the best in the nation, so we must keep our good work up. B. W. Crouch, our soil technici an, has a contribution to make on winter grazing crops. Some days ago he was talking to L. D. Blake, manager of the dairy at De la Howe, and this is part of the conversation. We have here at the school 18 acres of grazing crops that were seeded early in Septem ber. This land was prepared in August. The rate of seeding was 2 bushels of barley, 2 bushels of oats, and .20 pounds of crimson clover, as recommended by Clem- sr-'i College.; iTW? land was ter raced, limed at rate of 1 ton per acre, 600 pounds of superphos phate, and liberal amounts of compost has been applied during the last three years. This crop was ready to graze on Oct. 20, which is about six weeks from planting. His cows are allowed to graze every day that weather permits. The result of this grazing by the 40 cows is astonishing. A 20 per cent gain, or 15 gallons of milk increase was noted by examina tion of records. 60 tons of hay that would have been fed is still in the barn. If you care to figure the value of this crop multiply 15 gallons X 40c per gallon for sweet milk, and you will see that you have $6.00 per day.

Why let the cows of this man have green, juicy, health building grazing, while yours look over the fence and groan? Plan now for a good grazing patch next year.
