The German Pulpit Dur
ing The War and Now

In the Christian World q.ondonl APP
pears the following. quoted from ser
mon recently preached by DIR. Traub,
in Charlottenburg Germany: We Ger
man people have forgotten God. not
the God OF armies and kings and Kais-
ers, not the God OF State and show
and noise. but the God OF justice and
mercy, the Creator of the still small
voice OF conscience, the Father of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, And
until we return to him and acknowl-
edge his right TO rule us and follow his
precepts as our supreme law. we shall
never be able to accomplish our great
destiny in the world. We are sunk in
the depths; we have become a re-
proach and a warning. Only In one
way can we rise" And here are the
words OF another, DIR. Fassbinder. de-
livered before gathering OF Church
men in Munich; we wanted TO gain
the whole world and were willing TO
barter our souls for the prize. Would
II have profited us? When ] reflect up
on the iniquity OF sin which governed
our lives both as State and as in
dividuals. ] am forced to believe that
II was pride. avarice. greed, and envy
of the welfare OF others which were
the active driving forces within us,
Think OF what world dominion would
have made us Germans! We should
have walked the earth as gods. Super
cillously we should have looked down
upon the inferior races of mankind.
and not a chink or canny would have
been left in our brazen armor through
which the divine graces OF charity, hui
mility. and mercy might enter. We
have sinned grievously we have dis
graced our German name, and II will
be Gods own way of healing us II he
casts US on the bed of humiliation and
does not stretch out his almighty hand
TO raise us until we are again ready
to walk with him and he with u.s."
This sounds quite different from the
messages delivered during the wa land
we are told in keeping with orders
from the Kaiser to the effect that God
was with the Germans and would give
victory.

Sheriff Of Fayette county. Up to Feb
ruary. when he began catching unli-
censed dogs. but $40 licenses had been
issued. Since then the number has
increased to 2.700. He has impounded

RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, in the year 1916 the trus-
tees of the Methodist Episcopal church
at Gallup, KY, deemed 1t expedlent to
sell the church house TO the county
for school house reserving the right
to use the house for church and Sun
day school purposes until they could
build new church house. The winter
OF 1916 was very disagreeable and the
church and Sunday school realized
they were without a house and when
nearing the winter of 1917, while de-
hating the inconvenience OF Worship
ping in the old house during the win
ter months, the Odd Fellows opened
the doors OF their hall and said, Come
and welcome" We came and found
such comfortable quarters that we re-
NAMED full twenty months and
Whereas, the new church house is
now completed and awaits our return
ing home. we as Sunday School deem
il not only a duty but a pleasure TO
express our gratitude to the Odd Fell
lows for the use of their hall from
November g. 1917 until July 6. 1913,
and not forgetting that more than once
did they step aside TO give time and
place to the bushes of the church and
Sunday School.
Therefore, be II resolved. that We.
the members Of Gallup Sunday School
desire to express our appreciation Tor
the free and unrestrained way in which
we were allowed to use the Odd Fell
lows Hall. and while thanking you in
the best way we know we are here re-
minded that the link that unites the
Odd Fellows is also connected to the
chain that protects our homes. our
our church. and our ma
ton.
Home, city, country,
All are prosperous found,
When by the powerful link

Paul j. Case Grows and Markets Beans
for less than Cents per Pound

When we started TO make this cost
survey ON the 1918 crop OF beans In
Luna county 1t was for the purpose Of
learning whether those who had to
sell their beans for @ cents per pound
could afford to do so. We are now on
the right track of solving this problem.
And In answer to 1t at this time We
would say that II certain farms could
be selected the answer would be In the
affirmative. II other farms were Sc
lected we would decidedly say no. And
IL the average crop for the county
were taken as a basis( and of course
this must DO done) we would say that
we have our doubts IL beans could be
grown and sold at a profit for six
cents per pound.
II all farmers could average as well
as Mr.. Case who grew 10000 pounds
Of beans ON % acres or an average Of
] 200 pounds to the acre there would be
no question as TO the profitableness Of
growing beans under our conditions
Those who remember the figures given
on other crops reported In these col
uans will notice that Mr.. Cases cost
per acre Is more than that OF others
but because Of his excellent yield his
cost per pound is less than any pre-

yionsly reported. There are others in
the county who have produced yields
fully equal TO that Of Mr.. Case and and
probably their cost of production has
been considerably less. But next week
we viii give report on a fifty acre
crop which cost the unusual amount Of
1853 cents to produce one pound.
Mr.. Cases figures are as follows:

1. Land and land improve
ments, including interest,

BY adding the overhead charge OF
S24.6i to the direct charges of $20.00
we have an average cost Of $500 to
grow and market the 25 acres OF beans.
Now since Mr.. Cases yield was 1000
pounds per acre we have a cost Of just
447 cents per pound to grow and mar
ket his crop. Had he produced only
the average yield OF only 100 puonds 10
the acre his cost would have been ap-
proximately Z cents per pound.
Farm Bureau Proceedings
The chief item for discussion at the
Executive Committee Of the Farm Blu
reau ON Wednesday morning was that
of a County Demonstration Farm. The
discussion on the matter was interest
ing from the beginning and the opinion
Of the Committee was unanimously in
favor OF such an institution.
The subject was introduced by Mr..
II. L. Nordhaus, the originator Of the
idea OF demonstration farm. Mr..
Nordhaus arrived at his conclusions on
the matter by recent surveys through
the country and to the farms in inter
est of machinery and betting. The in
ferior installation or pumping machine
ry impressed him 10 the extent that he
thought the Farm Bureau ought TO
draw up specification for pumping
plants for those who plan to install
such equipment so that such dlsastri-
ous blunders as have been made in the
past may not be repeated. He believes
that II the newcomer Is carefully guild
ed in the expenditure Of his money
both by instruction and'by having the
privilege OF visiting the demonstration
farm which is laid out along the best
practices OF farm management and
where he may study at first hand the
crops that grow well in the county. he
will get information that is Of inesti-
mable value. Mr.. Holiday, Mr.. Ram
sey. and Mr.. Case. other members Of
the Committee concurred also In this
belief. The Committee therefore in
structed County Agent Heyman to take

and the U. 3. Department OF Agricul-
ture In order to work out some feasl-
BILE plan to put such farm into opera
ton In this county
The incorporation Of the Farm Bu-
reau under the recent State law was
also discussed but no action was taken.
Further information is to be secured on
this matter and final action may not
be taken until the Annual Meeting.
The reports for the last three months
Of the County Agent Heyman's work
were read and approved by the Com
mittee and Mr.. Heyman was commend
ed for his activities.
The committee on oil leases also re-
ported and II has just about completed
the final shaping Of lease which It
believes win be entirely satisfactory to
the land owner and fair 20 both parties
OF the contract. A special meeting OF
the Executive Committee will be called
soon to pass ON the oil lease so that
further delay may not hinder those
who wish TO take advantage Of this
lease.
Mr.. r.. 8. Trumbull's View ON the
Demonstration Farm
Mr.. Il. 3. Trumbull. Agricultural
Agent for the El Paso 4 Southwestern
at the request OF the County Agent
made trip to Deming last Tuesday to
confer with members OF the Farm Bu-
rean relative to taking the initial steps
of starting demonstration farm in
Luna county. Mr.. Trumbull feels that
II the institution is purely a county
affair II Is apt to have very short life.
This has been the history Of other
county demonstration farms. SO he
advises that II one is started thta II be
connected up with the State College or
the u. =. Department OF Agriculture.
He believes that demonstration farm
which Is properly managed, kept out
Of politics will be OF considerable value
to the agricultural interests Of the
county.
On leaving, Mr.. Trumbull assured
the county agent and members Of the
Executive Committee that he would CO.
operate in any way he could to help
ont this project
Shallow Corn Cultivation will Increase
Production
Corn is sometimes injured more than
aided by cultivation, say specialists In
Deming graphic., 1919-07-15
Purposes Of Cultivation

The main purposes Of cultivation
are 10 prevent weed growth, surface
run off and the loss OF moisture by
evaporation. Proper cultivation should
secure these results regardless OF the
specific means used, some OF the most
successful corn growers practice fire.

vations will stimulate the growth OF
the young corn plants by aerating
and warming the soil They win also
check injury frem worms, insects and
moles. Harrows or weeders should be
used before the corn is up or while IL
Is small enough to permit their use.
While the plants are small, narrow
shovels that do not throw much soil.

soil from the corn should be used.
Tenders are desirable TO prevent cover

"Plow deep while sluggards sleep;
And you shall have corn to sell and
to keep"
Is excellent advice when preparing the
soil for planting, but is bad practice
after the plants have attained any
considerable size Some successful
growers, who have averaged 100
bushels of shelled corn to the acre on
hundreds Of acres, say the best single
cultivation they can give their corn is
one eight or ten inches deep-just be-
fore planting. But after the corn Is
up, each succeeding cultivation should
he shallower than the last.
Methods of cultivation in one sec
tion OF the country differ realty from
those in another section. Farmers
should not cease trying TO learn bet
ter methods because Of these differ
ences. The most valuable information
