Top Honor Goes To Pennsylvania High School Boy By W. J. DRYDEN WNU Farm Editor. Outstanding young farmer of the United States is 20-year-old William G. Carlin of Coatesville, Chester county, Pa. He has won the title of Star Farmer of America — most coveted honor that can be won by an Ameri can farm boy. Of what stuff are champion farm ers made? In the case of William Carlin the answer would be summed up in a statement of his zeal, his enthusiasm, and his attention to de tail in developmg a run-down farm into a high producing enterprise. The award was made at the re cent National Victory convention of Future Farmers of America held at Kansas City. Carlin was chosen from among the 200,000 boys study ing vocational agriculture in high schools of the country, who make up the membership of the F.F.A. Farming in partnership with his brother on 190 acres of land, Carlin has made an outstanding record in bringing run-down farm land back into production. His accomplishments in soil re habilitation are cited as exam ples for farmers throughout the country. In 1940 the Carlin brothers took over a farm owned by their father and previously operated by tenants. Through the years the land had been literally “farmed out,” with severe gully erosion present and with the soil in poor condition. Purchase New Farm. Through their classes in vocation al agriculture in high school, these boys learned what had to be done to bring such land back into good production. Land that had produced only 25 bushels of corn to the acre in 1939 brought a yield of 55 bushels in 1942. By 1944 they had accumu lated enough profits to buy 90 acres of land with a house and farm build ings. Today the farm is a going business, with assets of nearly $15,- 000. Its resources include 145 head of beef cattle, 15,000 chickens, 50 market hogs, 50 acres of corn, 65 acres of hay and 25 acres of oats and barley. Billy Carlin has been active in the affairs of his community. He is a member of the farm bureau, farmer’s exchange, do-operative ex change and grange. In 1944-45 he w&s president of Pennsylvania Asso ciation of Future Farmers of Amer ica. Kentucky Boy Wins. Central region winner of the Star Farmer of America award, Paul H. Smart, 20, of Versailles, Woodford county, Ky., was chosen from among 55,000 Future Farmers in 13 central states. His first farming venture be gan six years ago, when he was 14 years old, with four lambs and a small crop of tobacco. From this small beginning, the en terprise has expanded until it now includes 20 head of beef cattle, 70 head of sheep and extensive crop acreages in tobacco, corn, soybeans and lespedeza. Smart has served as a director of Kentucky Farm Bureau federa tion and Purebred Livestock Breed ers association. First Nevada Winner. Dennis O. Heitman, 20, of Gard- nerville, Douglas county, is the first Nevada boy to win the Pacific re gion award of the Star Farmer, be ing selected from among 25,000 Fu ture Farmers in 11 western States. He has complete responsibility for the management of a 1,500-acre cat tle ranch owned by his mother. \ Heitman began his first farming program with four heifers and a quarter acre of corn when he en tered high school in 1940. From this small beginning his program has been expanded from annual profits nn the projects. Today his assets include 30 {lead of beef cattle, 60 swine, 40 sheep and some 20 acres of growing crops. Texan Gets Award. Outstanding young farmer of the year in the South is Brody Lee Koon, 19, of Brashear, Hopkins county, Tex. The young Texan was selected from among 95,000 Future Farmers in the southern region. Koon al ready is established in farming as one of the outstanding dairymen of northeast Texas. A farming pro gram that began with one Jersey and has expanded into a herd of 55 registered Jerseys, along with a gen eral crop program on 255 acres which he bought last year from prof its on his projects, brought Koon the Star .Farmer award. In seven years he has realized a net profit of over $16,000 from his own proj ects, nearly all of which he has re invested in expanding his program. Outstanding as a community lead er as well as in farming, Koon has served as a director of Northeast Texas Dairy association, director of the Dairy Herd Improvement asso ciation and vice president of the Texas F.F.A. association. Honor War Victims. More than 15,000 farm boys from every state in the Union, Puerto Rico and Hawaii were present at Kansas City when the awards were presented. The Victory convention honored the more than 4,000 mem bers and past members of F.F.A. who lost their lives in World War II. Future Farmers of America is the national organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture. Main objectives of Future Farmers of America are to de velop agricultural leadership, co-operation, citizenship, im proved agriculture and patriot ism. In the emblem of Future Farmers of America, the owl is symbolic of wisdom and knowledge; the plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil; the rising sun is emblematic of progress, and the day that will dawn when all farmers are trained and have learned to co-operate; the cross-section of an ear of corn rep resents common agricultural inter ests, since corn is native to Amer ica and grown in every state, and the eagle is indicative of the na tional scope of the organization. Their motto: “Learning to do, do ing to learn, earning to live, living to serve.” State's Unique One-man Probes Realize Results LANSING, MICH. — Michigan’s unique one-man grand jury system is developing into a sizable govern ment activity, with seven inquiries now in progress in six counties and more than $600,000 in state and lo cal funds earmarked to pay the bills. Targets of the jurors range from gambling, bribery and liquor con trol to labor and local courts. An estimated 2,800 witnesses have tes tified before the inquisitors. As an aftermath of the investiga tions, nearly 200 citizens have been indicted, the list including legisla tors, state and local police officials, labor leaders, bankers, industrialists and gamblers. The Michigan system of one-man grand juries dates back to the De troit police court procedure of the 1880s. The statute providing for the system, which was not written un til 1917, enables a justice of the peace, police judge or jjidge of a court of record to act as a grand juror whenever, upon filing of a complaint by a citizen or official, he has cause to suspect that a crime has been committed within his jurisdiction. Provision is made for subpoening witnesses, who may be punished for contempt of court. Legality of the one-man probe has been upheld several times by the Michigan Supreme court, most re cently in 1945. Holiday Turkeys Will Be Plentiful CHICAGO.—Despite heavy drains on the nation’s poultry supplies dur ing the critical meat shortage, Americans will sit down to turkey and cranberries for their Thanks giving and Christmas meals as usu al this year. Reports compiled from all turkey areas indicate that more than 41 million turkeys will be marketed, the second largest crop on record and only nine per cent under last year’s all-time high. Although a larger percentage of turkeys will be marketed early be cause of the meat shortage, there will be plenty of birds left for the holidays, according to Cliff B. Car- ! penter of the poultry institute. More Women Listed As Heads of Families WASHINGTON. — Another after- math of war years was disclosed in a census bureau report that increas ing numbers of women have moved into positions of “heads of families” —that is, the major bread-winner for the family. In 1940 only 15 per cent of Amer ican families looked to a woman as the family head, the report re veals, while by V-E Day, the per centage had climbed to nearly 22. This means, the bureau says, that three millirn more families have a woman as the main support. Experts Cullins Mass of Secret Data on Germany WASHINGTON—World’s biggest editing job is under way in Ger many as experts of the Office of Technical Service screen an esti mated 3% billion pages of once- secret technical and scientific data on German factories, industrial and scientific processes. From this mass of data, experts probably will select about 3% million pages to be re turned to this country for study by industry, schools, government agen cies and other interested organiza tions. Less than one million pages have been returned to this country. Approximately 100 OTS editors, supervisors and microfilm opera tors, 600 Germans and an undis closed number of military person nel are engaged in the task. The data now being culled is in addition to first-hand reports which 650 technical experts have made on German secret data. OTS, which is the outgrowth of five former war and postwar gov ernment agencies, publishes a week ly “Bibliography of Scientific and Industrial Reports.” Work is now in progress on the second volume of reports, the first containing 26,000 abstracts of indus trial and scientific data, both for eign and American. The latter also were secret during the war. Best sellers on the agency’s current list are reports on German soap, electronics, leather, adhesives, paints, varnishes, lacquers and syn thetic waxes. Dad Solves 'Pal Problem’—Enters School at Age of 31 CROWN POINT, IND.—A new so lution to the old problem of a father becoming a pal to his children has been provided in the experiences of Gabriel Sabau—all he has to do is go to school! At 31, Sabau, the father of three youngsters, had never worried much about the problem of being a pal to his tots. He stumbled on a solution of the good companion an gle accidentally when he started to school as a ireshman this year. Although they at first were amused by the idea of their dad going to school, the children soon looked forward eagerly to his com pany. “Daddy, we’re glad you’re going to school. You’re such a good com panion these days,” insisted his old est daughter, Dale Marlene, 10, after the first week. Besides attending classes daily at Crown Point high school, Sabau works at night for a steel mill. His wife, who also is employed, rushes home at noon to prepare lunch for him and their three children, two of whom are in elementary school. Sabau, army veteran, entered high school 10 years after quitting the eighth grade. Under the speed up course, he hopes to complete four years’ work in 18 months. Then he’U continue his studies at Purdue. Jl '’IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for November 3 Lesson subjects . ^^ripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious education; used by permission. x — PAUL CHAMPIONS FREEDOM *i\i> BROTHERHOOD . "EXT—Acts 15:23fc>-29: Gala tians 3:13-18. SELECTION—But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.— Acts 13:11. Fundamental doctrine must be sound and true or the church will go astray. A question had arisen at An tioch which had to be answered au thoritatively, and once for all. The early converts of the church were naturally from among the' Jews, and they carried with them into their new-found faith the tradi tions of their religion. Some of them did not recognize that the salvation they had in Christ was entirely by grace, apart from any works of the law. They not only felt that they must observe the law, but insisted that the Gentile believers must also fulfill the Jewish rite of circumci sion. This promptly raised the question whether Christ alone could save, or if men were saved by grace plus works. To settle this matter, F _.l and Barnabas went up to the church at Jerusalem, and there a great coun cil discussed it freely, and came to a decision which was then trans mitted by letter and a committee. That decision established an eter nal I. Principle—Believers Are Free from the Law (Acts 15:23b-29). The believers at Antioch were to abstain from those things which would hinder their spiritual prog ress and harm their testimony. That was important and right, but it must not be allowed to confuse them regarding the basis of their salva tion. They were not saved by works, not even though they were most commendable. Salvation is by grace, through faith, “not of works, lest any man should boast” (Eph. 2:8, 9). That principle, which is absolutely foun dational in all Christian thinking, was established then, and is valid ’and blessedly true for all time. Is it not strange, then, that all through the church’s history there has been a determined effort on the part of some in the church to add something to God’s redeeming grace as a ground for salvation? Observe the plain rebuke given to teachers of error in verse 24. It is no light matter to trouble and mislead the souls of men by inject ing our wordly wisdom or our opinions, when we should be teach ing the truth of God’s Word. Salvation b/ grace and freedom from the law does not bring the be liever into a place of license, but of liberty—and a liberty controlled by a new factor in his life. We note that in II. Practice—Believers Are Bound by Love (Gal. 5:13-15). The one who turns to Christ by faith is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and finds that, far from failing to keep the high moral principles of God’s law, he is given grace to keep them more perfectly. This he does, not in order to be saved, but be cause he is saved. He comes out of a bondage to legalism, which he could not bear, into a new bondage to the law of love, which his new nature in Christ delights to bear and in which it finds the fulfillment of its highest and holiest desires. Note that this shows itself in the church and in the world in loving service to others in the absence of strife; in a word, in the practice of the admonition: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself” (v. 14; Lev. 19:18). No one faces that life responsibil ity without realizing that he is evi dently not able for it. God has pro vided for that need, for we note next that there is III. Power—Believers Are Led by die Spirit (Gal. 5:16-18). Being saved does not set us free from the conflict with sin, for the old nature declares itself at enmity with the Spirit. We find it often to oe in our hearts to do right, and in the decisive moment we find the flesh taking control and we cannot do the things we would (v. 17). What is the solution of that prob lem? An all-out attack on sin and sinful desires? That is commend able, but it somehow doesn’t work. We need a superior power to work in and through us. That’s it! There is a power in us and ready to work through us—the matchless, victorious power of the Holy Spirit. He dwells in the heart of every believer (I Cor. 6:19) and only awaits our yielding to him that tie may take control of our lives. Walking in the Spirit (v. 16) is Simply giving him the liberty to di rect our lives after the will of God, day by day and moment by mo ment. This puts us in the way of victory, for as we walk in the Lord’s way we may call on him for not inly his grace, but also his strength. Saved by grace to a life of lib erty and power—such is the ines timable privilege of the Christian. Are we, are you, living up to ii?
