GOT $50 PER ACRE FROM LAND

James Sharp planted three bushels
of the Bunch Dwarf Lima beans, and
delivered them to the Draper Cann-
cry in Milford for canning. His crop
was 11,117 pounds, which gave him
about seventy-five dollars per acre

planted after a crop of factory peas
was harvested, on this ground in June.
The lima beans were planted by July

cured for COW feed. The two crops
from the same ground this year gave
Mr.. Sharp over $3.50 per acre. This
is only one result from many others

were ten years ago, and 1000 fewer missionaries than there were five years ago. And what is true of our Church is true of all denominations. There are 10000 students in our Church schools, and approximately ,000 will graduate this year, but not more than 250 will enter the minis try or engage in definite church work. Yet this supply is what we must de- pend upon to meet this alarming deficit The cost of living has in- creased so per cent, but ministerial salaries have increased only 20 ger cent in 20 years. There are in the United States 50,000 preachers whose average salary is S543 a year, yet these very men are the ones depended upon to gather the millions of dollars being collected for various commend able causes. The average day laborer lives in affluence as compared with these professions in which are wrap ped up the destinies of civilization it. self The influence of kings and po- tentateS has little power beside that of the teachers and preachers who mould the destiny of nations. The teachers have your children under their care longer than you have, and 1t is your duty to provide for them.

 "The success of the League of Ma tions depends upon the pulpit, for it is founded upon the fact of brotherhood. Unless the heather nations are Chris tianized before they are formed into 8 civilized fighting force, they will be a greater menace than the Hun. John F. Mott recently said, q come back from world travel to remind you that the lines of constructive Chris tianity are breaking-the world. and Christianity and civilization itself are doomed unless we find our unity of purpose and are consecrated to dn- selfish service" There are fewer and fewer preachers because they are too poorly paid to support their fam flies. If Christian nations do not put 9 chain of missions across Africa, the
 .hele continent will be captured by Mohammedanism. The Sunday School, too, is suffering for want of teachers. We need fewer snug sench-warmers and more who are
 illiro to oet un as early Sunday morning as any other morning and come to Sunday School to teach our children. This church, this nation,

LACK OF TEACHERS HAS CLOSED 500 SCHOOLS IN
 STATE
Salaries Sometimes as Low as $50 8 Month-Preachers Also Seeking New Fields Because of Sala-
 ries, Pastor Says
(Fron Arkansas Democratl

That the school teachers and the preachers of the country, upon whom depends in the greatest measure the perpetuity of civilization, are the po4est paid of all professions and that there is an annual net loss Of many thousands in the number of those engaged in teaching and the ministry, is the assertion that was made by the Rev. B. r. Cato, pastor of the First Christian Church, Sun day forenoon. He read from official reports and other authorities to prove that the situation is really alarming and that catastrophe confronts the world unless there Is g radical change.
 He said that in the state of New York there are 1000 schools closed for lack of teachers, and thousands Of children are deprived of an education which is their inalienable right. In Arkansas there are 800 schools closed because there are not enough teach CTS to supply their needs.
 During last year 53,000 teachers in the United States left the profession, 50 far as reported, and t IS estimat- ed that in all there were 143,000 who quit because of the inadequate pay. + 1916 there were 10000 graduates from IS normal schools, but in 1917 there were only 8,275, Q loss Of 30 per cent in four years at that ratio.
 80 Per Month Salary
 'HThe reason is evident" said Air. f-.+o taroolt,o,~- sesvrc+ 1.-Two ar, air hot or cold-they must nave some thing to eat and wear. Every school in the country has an increase in the number Of pupils, but the nor mals are producing fewer teachers and the educational system suffers in consequence. Not only are there 500 schools closed in Arkansas, but there is an equal number taufft by teachers below the standard of effie- iency because no better can be had. As a result, the people are moving into localities where thers are school facilities, moving from the farms to the cities, and from Arkansas and other states into more favored locali- ties. I find that the minimum saiary paid teachers in Arkansas is 80 a month, five to eight months a year and no one can live decently on that amount.
 "There is only one class as poorlI paid as the teachers and that IS the preachers. Everybody knows that thr teachers and the preachers are tn most influential people in the world Yet there are50,000 vacant pnlpits i the United States because there ar not enough men to open the door and preach the gospel. We must ad init that there are 1000 fewer preacf ers among the disciples than there
