Archbold. Each variety in the plot ir<iv#n with its test weight and yield. Teat weights were figured by K. E..Beeson, extension agronomist; yields for one acre, baaed on the 1,/loth of an acre plot site, were figured by Archbold.

Cornell 595 cannot be marketed with regular soft red wheat which is grown in this area, and must be taken to elevators in the extreme northeastern comer of Indiana, or into Michigan or Ohio for market Experiment 399 is a new variety being tested by the extension service. If It proves itself, it will be multiplied for later release. It was bred by the extension agronomists for its mildew resistant qualities, Beeson stated, and will probably be used in breeding new varieties of wheat Knox, a new variety recently perfected, is now in the process of mnltipication so that it may be grown throughout northern Indiana. Knox promises better stands of grasses and legumes, because it is shorter strawed and has fine leaves. This variety must be cut five days earlier than other wheats,

Vasf Storehouse Os Food Is Available Offer Foodstuffs For Flood Victims WASHINGTON (INS) — Agriculture secretary Ezra Taft Benson said today that a great storehouse of American food is available to flood victims in the Danube basin on both sides of the Iron Curtain. > ' ■ President Eisenhower ordered the opening of warehouses storing U, S. surplus farm products Thursday to provide for hungry and homeless peoples stricken by the disaster from the raging European torrents. The offer was extended to three Soviet-dominated nations — East Germany, Hungary and Czechoslovakia — as well as to West Germany, Yugoslavia and Austria. Diplomats and members of congress joined in praising the chief executive's move as a gesture that will win friends for the U. S. in Communist-dominated lands. Benson said: "This is a humanitarian effort to aid people abroad who are suffering from such disasters as the Danube flood. We in this country want to be helpful." The secretary, as custodian of the vast government holdings of farm surpluses, pointed out that a “wide variety of foodstuffs are available—wheat, corn, dairy and oil products.*' The President’s’ offer was designed as a psychological warfare move to win friends behind the Iron Curtain as well as outside it Three-Year-Old soy Is Crushed By Auto SCOTTSBURG, Ind.

WhyWerahlp? Lesson for August L 1954

A N amateur gardener once •‘k wanted to raise some corn. In his little plot ho did not have much room. He looked In his book

and it said there that corn hills should be three feet apart, so he decided there was only room for one hill, as he wanted to plant other things too. So he planted his one hill of com. But of course he nev-

er found any ear* W his cornstalks. He did not know that one stalk of corn will not •‘make” by itself. Now human beings are like that, and especially Christiana. Corn standing off fey itself never is real corn, and a Christian off by himself is not a complete Christian. There are religions which supposs that a person san please God best if he becomes a hermit and carries on. so to'speak, a sincle-track conversation between himself and God. But the Christian religion, at its best, knows better. Christian* cannot become what they ought to be without the companionship and help of other Christians. Christianity without fellowship would not be ftyI Shand Fattft fonsider one very important form of fellowship: Worship, — that is, public worship, in church an Sundays or otherwise. Why do are worship together? Wouldn't it be just as good if each of us worshipped alone? Private worship is necessary too, to be sure. “Enter Into thy closet and shut thy door*’ Is still Christ’s directive. But Christ himself joined regularly, in pubic worship even though in tis day that was pretty formal. Ona of the reasons for public worsljip Is that it is a united witness, a testimony of faith. Many churches repeat the Apostle's Creed on Smlay mornings. But even when t» to not public worship is the expression of a faith which can be shared, and is shared. When (fee communists took over the Chinese government they did not attack the churches directly. Whgt tttby did was to appoint official meetings, and require every one's attendance, at the hours on Sunday i usually set tor church services. They knew very well that if you > can keep Christians from worshipping together you keep them from witnessing to their faith, and ypu are helping that faith to wither away. When you go to church cm Sunday, you are not Just sitting there in a pew listening. You are bearing witness to your faith in Christ, In the most public way; and others are helped by your being there just as you are helped by their being there. tetter Wershlp, Better Lifltf How would you “improvs” tbs worship in your church? By having a better choir? By getting'more people out? By having more eloquent sermons? By making ttw sanctuary more beautiful? AB these things could help, but they might one and all miss the main point The vital question is: What effect does this worship have cm the lives of those who take part to it? If a change in the manner of worship does not make for better living on the part of worship-, pers. then it Is not a change tor tba better. Real worship will so bring us as a group into the presence of God that we are bound to be better men nnd women. Public worship ought to make us conscious of our sinfulness and our need of God; to make us aware of God’s forgiving love to Christ our Saviour; to arouse to us a desire to be more like the Master; to make us stop and think about our lives and what is wrong and what to right with them; to * Ur us to be grateful to God for his blessings; to make us bolder to approach the 'throne of grace;” to sharpen our consciences and make us see more clearly what God win have us do; to strengthen our coorage to do in God’s strength wfcat be has for us to da. Fellowship • One of ths gres test benefits from public worship is precisely Christian fellowship. Wo can have fellowship in many ways, at a fishery or tn a Sunday school class oc a church painting party. IB worshipping together, however, ere oaa And fellowship at its highest level. For to worship wo are reminded of our common humanity, our common sinfulness, the need of God which aD erf us share. In portraying another character, you portray your own.

Quadruplets Born To Pittsburgh Lady Three Girls, Boy Born This Morning PITTSBURGH (INS) — One of four Infants born to a 25-year-old Pittsburgh woman died today less than eight hours after its birth. The child, only male of the four, died at 12:10 p.m. EDT. The survival of bis three sisters is also in doubt because of their site. AU four of the Infants were placed in incubators immediately after their birth. The babies were born to Mrs. Ruth Hurd, described by her husband, Rudolph, 28, as small and slim. He said her normal weight is 114 pounds. The infants were too small to be weighed immediately but were estimated to weigh up to two-and-one-half-pounds. Their total weight was about eight pounds. Magee hospital administrator Dr. Hilda Kroeger said the babies are doing as well as children so small can be expected to do. It was indicated, however, that the infants were beginning lite with a fight tor survival and the outcome is somewhat in doubt. They were born two months premature. The first child was born at 4:38 a.m. (EDT) and the others followed at 4:45, 4:50, and 4:54. The couple has a 19-month-old son, Ellsworth, now staying with relatives In Donora, near Pittsburgh. The father, a self-employed plasterer, said things haven’t been going “so lucky" for him lately. He explained that he has only been earning about S4O a week and that he and bis wife had to give up their one-room apartment in Pittsburgh’s crowded Hill district because of lack of funds. His wife had been staying with relatives, he said, while he also lives with relatives or friends. Hurd said he and his wife have no specific plans for taking care of four babies at once but said that he is confident they will manage, somehow. He said his sister-in-law will name the babies. He-wants to get into the plastering business on a more solid basis but said he lacks the needed S4OO capital to buy equipment. The young father, a World War II veteran who served in the Pacific area, said he had not expected quadruplets and had not believed physicians when they indicated the possibility. Mrs. Hurd commented: ' ' "I'm very' much confused by it an. I only wanted one more.**
