The first of May finds less
work done on our farms than
ever before at this season of the
year. On uplands some cotton
has been planted but practically
no corn has been put in the
ground. Our people continue to
exhibit a hopeful spirit and as
we frequently hear said, There
is plenty of time yet to make a
good CROP"

tan woman
There is one other scene | would like
for you to view. A woman Of the
streets was about to be murdered by
an Infatuated mob Of citizens, when
suddenly the lovely form OF THE Son
of God" appeared, and he gave forth
tho most scathing d%enunciation Of the
ages: Let him that is without sin
Castillo first stone" Can you not see
that crowd as they skunk away into the
bystreets and alleys until not one was
left? Then methlnks l can see his love-
ly face all illuminated with heavenly
rapture when he turned and said to
her, go and sin no more"
They were women who were first at
the tomb; it was a woman who saw
him first after his resurrection; and so
woman has always been first in relig-
ious work, and well she may, for with
out the lowly birth of the Babe Of
Bethlehem and his ignominious death
at Golgotha. she would still be a down
trodden creature of humanity and you
and l would never have known the re-
filming influence of a Christian land.
Must we stop with the two Marys of
the bible? Nay rather we could go on
necessarily. naming scores of women
who have lived for the cross, have died
martyrs for its advancement, and ever
allowed the atrocities of many st. Bar
tholomews in the name of u religion.
But these days are passed, and they
have received their reward from a
worldly standpoint.
Let us rather consider the present.
Is the woman of today fulfilling the
mission for which God intended her? If
we look at one side of the question we
gladly acclaim she is. But when we be-
hold the other, we must answer in the
negative. Would that we could veil
our faces and pass by on the other
side! But the picture remains and the
repainting of it is a great work for
some one, who is strong enough to un-
dertake it. @a
The Joans of Arc Of the past, the
Francis E. Willards Of the present
stand out az beacons pointing woman
to a nobler sphere of Christian activity
and showing her what she may accom-
plish in the service of her King. What
we dorto.- show u gratitude to-
Almighty God for lifting US from the
mire of abuse to be queens of Ameri-
can homes? Romans 12:1, it
30 plainly there can be no further
questioning: Present your bodies, al
living sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable service.
Are we serving u Redeemer in q
way that is pleasing to him? Far from
it! Do you think the woman Just from
divorce court, covered as she is with Al
social scandal, would be = AT offering
to Him who gave His life that he
might reign supreme in her sphere.
and in turn use her far-reaebing influ-
ence for him?
But let as all thank God for .
mothers, sisters, wives and sweet
hearts who are walking daily in the
footsteps of Jesus Let US thank Him
for their example, for the touch OF
their loving hand when we are prone to
go astray. They are paying as well as
they know bow their debt of gratitude
for the untimely death of the Son OF
Man, and may the day v come
when the women of America shall turn
their backs upon the cross which a
been their light and salvation. May
they hold it as a thing to be more de

MEETING
At STEEP HOLLOW

The large and enthusiastic crowd at
the Steep Hollow meeting Wednesday
emphasizes the growing interest In
the farm demonstration work in
Brazos county. The SHOW you" plan
has answered the most pessimistic
critic OF the work. When the neigh
boris boy raises from fifty to eighty
five bushels OF corn on the same class
OF soil that is producing only fifteen
to eighteen bushels for others, farm
ers begin ito sit up and take notice.
and that is just what the corn club
boys have been doing. They find that
'fickllng the soil with a stick" doesn't
answer the question. Therefore when
II was advertised that a discussion of
the question would be had at Steep
Hollow by experts. crowd gathered
and were well repaid for the time
The meeting was called 90 order
promptly at ? o'clock by Prof. 7. w,
Parker, county superintendent who
introduced the. principal speaker, DR..
w. +. Proctor. state agent of the
United States agricultural depart
ment. His address was a plea for
better and heavier stock. more inn
proved implements. scientific meth
DDS of cultivation, cooperation among
, the country people for the extension
lof information, and careful selec-
ton OF seed. He illustrated by nu-
merous examples how Northeast
Texas has been brought from yield
of ten to fifteen bushels OF corn TO
forty to sixty-five bushels per acre,
and from one-fifth of bale OF cotton
up to one-half to two and one-quarter
bales per acre by following demon
strated methods, in the last five
years. He emphasized that what has
been done there may be done here,
under the same methods. His ad-
dress was given the closest attention
throughout.
Prof C. M. Evans. in charge of ex'
tension work at A. and NJ. College
was the next speaker His address
was directed to the boys and girls
club work, He gave illustrations OF
the profitable work being done by
club members here and in other coun
ties, and urged the extension of the
boys corn club in the county and the
organization of girls canning and

This kind began about 1855 in New
York. under the auspices or the COZ
lece Of Agriculture of Cornell mi
varsity as 4 development from It's
nsture-studv lessons. This work has
now gone over the whole State u
has taken a variety OF forms.
Other states were quick TO take up
the work and the splendid results
have been demonstrated at corn
shows and other exhibitions, but the
most wonderful part of all is the ac-
tual increase of crop yields shown IN
many localities where these club
workers are active. Some OF tnt
Southern States-Texas. South Caro-
lima and Georgia-have been espe-
ciaIIy active in organizing this kind
of work. and much of the develop
ment in the Gulf and South Atlantic
States has been greatly assisted by
the boys demonstration work.
in Georgia the interest in this work
has been chiefly in corn and cotton
growing and in the Improvement OF
live stock, 1000 boys being now or
ganized into clubs for the more intel
ligent and effective cultivation Of
these products. In this State alone,
through the organization Of the boys
into corn clubs. the yield Of corn has
been increased 5000. 900 bushels. and
100000 has been added to the
wealth of the State during just one
year. and the prospect is hat they
will furnish an equal increase during
1912.
The recent Southern Corn Show
furnished a splendid exhibition Of
corn products, the effect Of the boys
corn clubs being widely shown. and
the cultivation of corn in place of
the exclusive growing of cotton was
given m important impetus.
