Says Farm Working Conditions Good Excellent Weather Is Cited By Agent “Excellent weather, ample moisture,”- says county agent I* E. Archbold of the ideal working conditions being experienced! by farmers in the county. Archbold stated that conditions cleared up so much this week from the damp that befell the county previously, that com and soy beans are in the ground, and although the nights are a bit cool for them the trend should change shortly and become more favorable. Tomatoes, both ’seeds and plants, are for the moet part in the ground and in Jefferson township some farmers have even begun blocking and thinning plants. Archbold revealed that the farms recently sprayed for spittle bugs have come out excellently | while the lots that were not sprayed are beyond any help as far .as spittle bugs go because they have already had opportunity to do their damage. “Meadows are in fine condition and wheat has already begun to head.” says Archbold. "The weather has been particularly good for hay and small graine, rye, wheat, anrt oats, he said, and the prospects for them are good. The county ag man said farmers who have put fields to soy beans with the winter storage of last year's crop, will probably begin to take the balance to market soon. >—■ — x Manter Funeral Rites .

N. truce terms by saying that no solution to the Korean War should be adopted which would be basically unfair to the South Korean Republic. Certainly, he said, we should never adopt a solution that our consciences tell us is unfair \ to South Korea. Every implication of his statements was that he feels the new truce proposals, considering all present circumstances, meet that test. The President said that if the United Nations can get an agreement such as recently put up to the Communists by the U. N., we should be in a better position to go ahead toward a just plan for South Korea than we could Without a truce. 1 He reiterated his position that there be no forced repatriation of prisoners. The South Koreans, however, are insisting that a final peace must result in unification of North and South Korea. Firemen Busied With Fire, Station Tired C ATLANTA.

ItheL. - j Mik _ spw™* International Uniform Sunday School Leaaona H&aajSiazHEffii What Never Fails Lesson for May 31, 1953 WHAT do you wish for, most of alii? What do you pray for, most of all? You wish and pray for many things, and this is right; but whait is above all? If you take your New Testament seriously, there can be no question about that You will want above all the thing that is worth more than everything else; you will not be content to ask for less than the greatest thing in the world. You will ask God for love. • • • Better Than Miracles Remember, when St Paul or Jesus talked about love they were not thiriking about the thing you hear about from the jukebox at the comer drugstore. They were r not thinking about the sort of thing that comes and goes and leaves headaches and heartaches behind. They were not thinking of the kind

of love that wants to get. but of the love thiat wants to give.’ They meant the kind of love God has arid is: the kind of love that transforms the Pisons to whom it is given.. The kind of love that Jesus lived out there in

Galilee, the kind that can be lived an any street in the world. The kind of love the Cross Stands for. This kind of love. Paul said, is better than miracles. Indeed, miracles are no account without it When Paul talks of "speaking with the tongues of men and of angels’* he Is not meaning eloquence, oratory. He means (as you can see from I Cor. Chap. 12) the miraculous ••gift” of tongues which the Corinthian church knew. Some of the members there could speak with tongues, some couldn’t. Those that could, despised those that couldn’t. That’s not the point Paul means to say. The measure of a Christian is not miracles, but love. • • • Mightier Than the Mind is aiso oetter man something else we all admire and would like to have as much of as possible. It is better and mightier than mental genius. The world around us is full of mysteries. A child can ask questions the wise cannot answer. If ] only knew! is a thought that has occurred to every one. Each of us thinks he would be happier if he knew all the answers. We feel sure we could do more and be more if our minds were even just a little sharper than they are. But Paul reminds us that even if our prayers for insight and wisdom were all answered, even if we had such'wisdom that not a Single question would be left unanswered (not that any such thing is likely to happen soon!), we should still amount to precisely nothing, if we did not have love. Paul does not say that mental power is a bed thing; he did not say that miracles are no good. What he does say is that miracles minus love, or mind minus love, will not fulfill God’s dreams, nor ours. • • •

Nobler Than Martyrdom The Christian church has always honored her martyrs, the men and women and children too who have died rather than give up their faith. We are inclined to put martyrs up in the highest bracket of the saints, partly because most of us are sadly aware that we are not the stuff of which martyrs are made. But Paul pulls us up short EVen to be burned at the stake for a righteous cause is still nothing at all, if there is no love behind and in the action. Love Is the Miracle I Two hesitations cloud the mind. Is it not selfish to ask for the greatest thing in the world? Should we not rather be contented with lesser gifts? The answer to this hesitation is that this divine kind of love is precisely Unselfishness itself. To ask for the grace of unselfishness is surely no selfish prayer. Another hesitation is this: Is not this divine thing, this thing that outlives and outlasts wisdom] and miracles and martyrdoms—is not this too high for us? Is it not a miracle itself, so rare we should net know what to do with it if we had it? Well, it is rare indeed, and with the exception oi our Lord there was never a life that shone with it from beginning to end. Yet we who have known Christian homes and Christian people have seen this miracle, we have lived in its light. It is a miracle Indeed; but it is not one to lift us above the clouds, it is sue to keep our feet on the ground. Scientists say atmospheric tides caused by the moon’s attraction of the air are equivalent to about 1,000,000 atomic bombs. -

'A t’?S Approved By Senate Democrats In House To Carry On Fight { WASHINGTON, UP — House Democrats promised to carry on where their senate colleagues left off today in their fight to -block President Elsenhower’s plan for reorganizing the agriculture department. I , The first round wap lost Wednesday when the senate Approved the’plan 46 to 29. Rep. Harold E. Cooley, D-N. C., ranking Democrat on the house agriculture committee, served notice he will try to force a house vote on the plan by nex£ Wednesday, the day before it automatically would take effect if there has been no house veto. “ Now that the senate fins approved the plan, it would require 218 members of the house-—an absolute majority—to veto it Under the reorganization law. Otherwise, it automatically goes into effect next Thursday, 60 days after its submission by the Presidept. , Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga„ used (he defeated senate resolution of disapproval as a starting point for a general attack on agriculture secretary Ezra T. Benson and the administration’s farm policy. , '"j ■' Russell and other Democrats called the reorganisation plan a “blank check” of indefinite duration, and said it could be used to cut down existing farm programs.

House Slashes Navigation And Flood Projects GOP Budget-Cutters \ In Biggest Victory As Funds Slashed WASHINGTON UP — GOP budget-cutters claimed their biggest victory of the year today after persuading the house to slash funds for navigation'and flood control projects about 17 per cent below the Eisenhower administration's request. With the econotpy bloc in control, the house Wednesday night passed and sent to the senate a bill carrying only $416,391,600 for the army’s so-called civil functions in the fiscal year starting July 1. It carried $399,284,100 for rivers, harbors and flood control projects. That was $80,206,000 less than the administration requested; $262,240,000, or 39.6 per cent below the original Truman request; and $162,622,500 or 29 per cent less than congress appropriated last year. The remaining $17,107,500 in the bill is for operation of military cemeteries and tije Panama Canal, a cut of $2,052,500 from the Eisenhower request. The total reduction of $82,258,500 from the pared-down Eisenhower money requests amounted to 16.6 per cent. It was the biggest percentage cut in Eisenhower money requests made by iihe house this year in passing seven money bills. In a floor fight that lasted more than seven hours the house backed up its appropriations committee and beat down all but one*of two dozen attempts to add funds to the navigation-flood control bill. And it Refused to cut any funds from the measure. \ . Ironically, the only increase the house approved was for "a project for which the Eisenhower administration did not request funds. By a 107-94 vote, the house added $400,000 to deepen the Gowanus Creek Channel .in Brooklyn, N. Y., from 26 to 30 feet. The other rejected amendments would have added more than $40,000,000 to the bill. Realizing they faced almost certain defeat, many decided against trying to restore the funds for their projects bn the house floor. They will try instead to get the senate to restore them.
