Every tractor in this county should
work night and day as long as there

THE QUESTION OF LABOR !
Probably the Most Serious Handicap
to Put in Maximum Crops This
Year Is the Scarcity of
National Crop Improvement servIoe.l

l. National Crop Improvement Servlce.l
Many good crop will be ruined be-
cause farmers cannot get labor at the
right time. There are two times of
the year when more labor is absolute
ly necessary-at seed time and at har-
vest While our farmers need men at
other times of the year, these are the
two crucial periods.
AS it is to the interest of every per-
son living in this county to produce a
bumper crop this year, we must do all
we can to help the farmer and per-
haps the most important thing we can
do. is to find him right help of the
right class.
There are three classes of farm help
I'D The regular farm hands who are
going to be rather scarce. (2) There
are, however, a great many men who
work in factories, in wholesale houses
drive teams and other occupations
who could possibly be spared during
the rush seasons. 1t is the duty of the
to make list of these men and offer
them for detached service when ur.
gently needed There is a third class
of labor which is very efficient and
that is men of affairs who have been
raised on farms who will volunteer
to help the farmers out during the
rush. This is the greatest work our
business men can accept to show their
patriotism at this time.

TEST BARLEY.

lNatIonal Crop Improvement servIce.l
All seed barley should be tested for
vitality before sowing as the seed is
quite frequently injured by heating in
the stack or bin. If the seed is of low
vitality and does not test 80 per cent
1t should be regarded as inferior and
new seed should be purchased.

THE OLD SUN STILL I
SHINES, AND OLD I
FAITH STILL SOOTHES I

Bishop w. A. Candler.)

The propagation of Christianity
rests on the pervasive power which it
possesses on account of it's adaptation
to human needs. This is the implica-
ton of the parable in which Jesus
said, "The kingdom of heaven is like
unto leaven, which a woman took, and
md IN three measures, of meal, till
the whole was leavened." Matthew
xiii:33.)
Leaven hidden in three measures of
sand or sawdust would not leaven the
whole. On the contrary, it would be
spoiled and it's leavening quality de-
stroyed. 1t has no adaptation to sand
OF sawdust; but it has such power
when placed in meal, so that it con-
verts the whole mass into something
akin to itself.
In like manner Christianity is
adapted to humanity. 1t is such
truth, and it conveys such saving
grace, that SHINING and sorrowing
world finds in it a remedy for it's
ills, and thereby it spreads from soul
to soul. This fact is the explanation
of the early spread of the religion of
Christ in the first century, and also
of its present and prospective power
in the world.
All other religions are marked by
increasing fcebleness, and show signs
of perishing at no distant day. Bud
dhism, Brahminism and Mohamme-
danism are dying systems. They
may survive many years, but they are
doomed They have never been able
to travel beyond the lands which
gave them birth, and, if the human
race has before it any such thing as
moral progress, they will be left be-
hind as the outworn superstitions of
benightcd times. But Christianity is
spreading to all lands and pervading
all nations. If before the human
race there shines any promise of pro-
gress, this light of hope is kindled by
the religion of Christ.
If the light of this religion were
extinguished the darkness following
would alright mankind. 1t is the
last and only hope of the race.
1t is adapted to the deepest wants
of humanity and satisfies its noblest
and highest aspirations. To Christ
has been applied the prophetic title,
"The Desire of All Nations;" and the
words do not exaggerate the spiritu-
al power which inheres in Him and
his salvation.
History witnesses to this fact.
Even Renan is forced by the facts
of the case to say, "The memory of
his life has been like the perfume
of another world, and all history is
incomprehensible without Him."
The very dates of the world do
Jesus reverence. The folding doors
of ancient and modern history are
inscribed respectively, Before Christ"
and ammo Domini"-"B. c." and "a.
D." The ancient world went to
sleep in his cradle and the modern
world rose out of his grave.
Men may in gay and giddy days
turn away from Christianity, but in
days of darkness and distress they
must turn back to Christ or walk into
deeper gloom and ultimately into ut
ter despair.
This is exemplified in the case of
Mr.. H. G. Wells, who, after years
