CHI :?
BY DIR. JAMES /. VANCE

WHAT is truth? This is the ques-
" ton which PLATE flung at
Christ.
He asked the question W. tn a sneer.
He was not after information.
Christ answered Plate and all who
might ask Pilates question saying
81 am the truth"
Christ is "the same yesterday, to-
day and forever" He is changeless
and eternal truth. There is, therefore
a sense in which truth does not
change.
Truth in its essence is unchang-
ing. But truth is more than essence
1t IS also relations.
Before you can predicate the truth
about anything, you must answer
three questions. First, what is it in
itself? Next, what is it in its rela-
ton to other truths? And lastly, what
is it in relation to those who per-
ceive it?
The first is static, but the sec
ond and third is constantly changing
The truth as to ones duty under a
monarchy is not the same as the
truth as to ones duty under dem
ocracy. The truth as to the condi-
ton of those who have not accepted
Christ because they have never
those who have heard and have not
accepted is another Truth is per-
ceived by finite intelligence, which
means that it is apprehended in sec
tions. in phases, in aspects. We see
only part of it. AS experience
grows and vision enlarges, our con-
ception of truth changes, just as
ones view of landscape changes as
he climbs higher and sees more wide
ly.
The race should have clearer con-
cention of God today than it had four
thousand years ago, because the race
has climbed four thousand years
higher in its experience of Him. 1t
is childish to say that God has chang
ed. He is what He was. 1t is just as
has not changed.
81 have not changed my views an
iota for forty years" said one OF
our professors in the seminary one
day to our class. That is what some
people call orthodoxy. 1t is dry rot
orthodoxy.
Why stop at forty years? Why
not stay where you were when you
were a baby?
Truth declines to be held in the
grip of a dead hand. 1t is the mos
emancipating thing in the world. /

IN the region of sitter soil thew

1t IS because a large acreage can

Dor problem, that the growing of

money crop, and with that idea I
have collected by personal visitation
the following examples of what has
been and can be done on that line.

Have been growing oats largely for
several years. This year have $50
acres in Fulghum and Appler oats
on bottom land covered with Bermuda
grass. Break land in fall and plant
oats in 12-inch drill. two bushels
per acre. Put no fertilizer under but
use 80 hounds to acre of nitrate of
soda as top dressing. Average yield
is 80 bushels per acre. Cut one
fourth ton of hay per acre after oats.
L asked them if oats were a profit
able money crop. After some figuring
they put the cost at $4,000 per acre
including $500 per acre for land
rent. Figuring receipts at $1.O0 per
bushel, it left profit of $500 per
acre. exclusive of the straw, which is
worth SO to $50 per ton.
Mr.. R. j. Fowler, of the same place
who plants 100 to 125 acres in oats
concurred in the above estimate.

The Question:

MOULD it be possible for woman
w to carry typhoid fever germs
in her system eight years after re-
covering from typhoid fever to peo-
pie who buy milk from her after eight
years? l am asking because my
neighbor, who is scrupulously clean,
has been selling me milk for over a
year. The miIky is rich and seems
all right. Recently two of her pat
rons had typhoid fever, in fact, have
it now
The health department inquired
where these patients were getting
their milk, and Immediately investi-
gated my neighbor, and upon learn
ing that she had had typhoid fever
eight years ago, forbade her selling
any more milk until they could make
suitable tests.
The woman accepts the health
boards decree in good faith, be-
cause she says she does not want to
endanger her own family, but | do
not believe this is the source of con-
tagion, and would like to know for
my own information. 1t seems far
fetched to me.
ne Answers:
In reply to your inquiry, you are
advised that it is not only possible,
but quite common for patients who
have recovered from typhoid fever
to continue the carrying of the
germs of typhoid fever in their sys-
tenn.
l have personally known of an in
stance in which a dairy farmer con-
tinued to harbor typhoid bacteria in
his system years after having re-
covered from typhoid fever. Dur
ing that time, he had unwittingly
been the cause of repeated typhoid
infections in the village where he sold
milk.
My attention was directed to him
through an outbreak of typhoid fever
in New York City, embracing several
hundred cases of typhoid fever
among users of particular supply
of raw milk.
The condition is now we'll under
stood, and those who harbor typhoid
bacilli long after convalescing from
the disease, are spoken of as typhoid

SMALL GRAIN AS MONEY CROP

has a 600-acre farm, $50 acres of
which are in oats. He operates his
farm with nine Fordson tractors and
pair of mules. He uses tractors to
put in and harvest his grain and hay
crop and the mules operate a stump
puller.
/ asked him why he used so many
tractors and he replied: "In putting
in grain the ground has to be pre-
pared and the grain sown within
comparatively short time. To put in
my acreage it would require nine
spans of mules-a span of mules
costs about as much as a tractor
When the grain is sown in November
| would have no use for the mules
until harvesting time in May and I
would have to feed them. The trac-
tors | put in a shed and they are no
expense. A mule is liable to lie down
and die, tractor isn't. Tractors not
only furnish power 70 Harvesting,
but also for threshing. A niger and
span of mules pillow one furrow, a
niger and a tractor plows two fur
rows"
DR.. E. NJ. Bridges, of Ellaville, Ga.
this year made 5000 bushels of oats
off of 80 acres, the variety being
Coker's Pedigreed Red Appler, and
have been contracted for at $3.50
per bushel for seed. The land on
which this crop was raised was plant
ed in cotton last year under which
was placed 700 pounds 9-3 fertil-
izer. The ground was broke in Oc-
tober with two-horse plows, narrowed
with tractor. seeded with drill fol-
lowed by pulverizer, two bushels seed
to acre. Under the crop was placed
200 mounds 80 fertilizer.
On go acres he harvested 1900
bushels of Abruzzi rye, which was
sown under the same conditions as
the oats. He sowed 1870 acres in rye,
but 70 acres seeded with rye bought
from local dealer proved to be Nor
them rye and produced nothing.
DR.. Bridges estimated the average
expense of a crop of oats to be SIS
per acre, with an average yield of
40 bushels per acre, and that the
peavine hay after the crop will pay
all expenses, leaving the oat crop
clear profit. He laid special stress
upon preparing a finely puIverized
seed bed and procuring pedigreed
seed.

The Question.
MY father has been troubled fol-
AVA several years with ulcers on the
leg. They heal for a short time,
and then break open. Sometimes
they do not swell for a month. Can
you tell me what to do?
The Answer:
1t is not possible to say definitely
what is the trouble with your father
legs. Your description is very de-
scriptive of varicose ulcers, a con-
dition which is very common in per-
sons of advanced years. The treat
ment of varicose ulcers, while not
particularly difficult, is sometimes a
very tedious affair. Rest in bed, in
which the horizontal position of the
legs helps circulation, is often of
great value. 1t is suggested that
you discuss the matter frankly with
your family physician, and, if neces-
sary, have him refer you to some
specialist for consultation.
