INTERESTING SERMON
ON CHILDREN BY
DR.. THERRELL

A large congregation assembled
last night at the Methodist church
to hear the address on Sunday school
work delivered by DR.. j. H. Therrell,
Sunday School Field SECRETARY of the
Florida Conference. They were not
disappointed, for the speaker gave
them forcible address.
He said that years ago he made
political speeches in Georgia, not in
his own behalf, but in the interests
Of other candidates. He said he had
often found it necessary to defend
his candidates against misrepresenta-
lions by the enemy, before he could
successfully make plea for his man.
He said he had another candidate
he wanted to represent before that
audience. His candidate was a little
child, and he said it was necessary
to defend him against some misrep-
reservations made by his old enemy,
the devil. Instead Of the natural
tendency of the child being down.
ward, Dr. Therrell claimed that
there are tendencies in the heart OF
every child toward God and heaven.
He made an earnest plea in behalf
of the boys and girls, and said the
Wesley Bible Glass organization came
into existence for the express pur-
pose of giving to these younger men,
bers OF the fold the spiritual help
needed to make them useful men and
women in the building of the king.
dom.
Oh. Therrell spoke of the big fed
Grafton at Tampa the first three days
of October, and urged large attend
ance from the city of Lakeland.
DR.. Therrell is a very pleasing
speaker, and his address last night
was we'll received by his large audi
ence. He was student under Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, when that
gentleman was president of Princeton
University He left at noon today
for Tampa, where he will give atten.
tion to matters connected with the
big federation.

turs Advises Against Too High
Finlshlna OF Animals.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricultura)
In view OF the unfortunate expert
ence last winter Of some feeders OF
Heayy cattle. the continued high price
sain and the uncertainty of a con.
OF good prices which well
avy carcasses now command
the I'd States department OF agri
culture believes that feeders should
concentrate their efforts on the produc.
don Of economically short-fed cattle.
OF course. this stutement does not re.
Ter 30 baby-beef production. which Is a
speciality within itself.
There ID no question that for the
last several years cattle feeders have
been making beef too fat: that is.
they have put more finish upon the
animals than economy would Justify.
This idea was evidently In the minds
or the advisory committee Of agri-
cultural and live stock producers ap-
pointed by the department of egricul-
ture and the food administration when
that committee recently made the fol-
lowing recommendation:
"We feel that cattle marketed at
the present time In class 4 (lOng.fed
or export and highly finished cattle).
and known as exports owing to the
high costs Of labor and feed. are not an
economical product. and their produc-
ton should not be encouraged"
Not oaly has the advisory commit
tee thus warned against the heavy
feeding Of cattle. but II IL also under
stood that the government officials d..
recttng the buying policies Of the gov.
srnment win not consider themselves
responsible for the prices Of very fat
cattle.
Recent experiences by various state
exper1ment stations and the United
States department Of agriculture have
borna ont the fact that good beef can
Be produced by using a relatively

er feeding period. or the dry corn grain
can be eliminated altogether. al the
liberal use Of good quality siIage win
furnish an excellent ration. The use
OF cottonseed meal, lInseed meal or
other protein-rich feed, even though
high in price. Is to be highly recon-
mended. because the higher other feeds
are. the more profitable becomes the
use OF q protein supplement. Expen-
sive hay may be completely eliminated
In the ration by the use Of a cheaper
dry roughage such as corn stover,
coarse hay or straw.
The department believes that by
avoiding too heavy feeding and too
high finish, and by following the sug-
gestions given above. feeders should
be able TO feed cattle at q profit In
spite Of the high prices Of feed and
labor. The recent statement of the
United States food administrator. and
the available reports from foreign
countries, indicate that there may be
great Increase in the demand for
beef. which is encouraging 10 the cattle
feeders OF this country. and especially
those who suffered losses during the
past feeding season.
