To the Farmers of Lafayette.

In another column il this paper you
will see the dates and places for hold
ing Farm Bureau picnics. This action
was decided upon at general meeting
of the Farm Bureau called by the
President, DR.. w. D. Hedleston. The
purpose of these meetings is to better
acquaint the people with the Bureau,
what it has done and what it can do
for the people of Lafayette county.
At each meeting complete report
will be made of all business that has
been done by the Bureau since it's or
ganization and it will perhaps surprise
many people to know that this institu-
ton has saved the farmers of this
county nearly $4,000 in the first five
months of it's existence. These are
big figures but you have no right to
deny them until you have heard the
evidence.
Lafayette county has large acre
age planted to sweet potatoes this
year. If no curing house is provided
to cure these potatoes it is probable
that at least ten thousand bushels
will either rot or be forced on the mar
ket at about 25c per bushel. The Di-
rectors of the Farm Bureau have
mapped out plan that will prevent
this great loss and every farmer in the
county owes it to himself to hear this
plan.
Now farmers, don't say you are too
busy and can't spare the time. A man
always has time to do the things he
wants to do and it certainly looks like
to me that the time is here when far
mers everywhere should wan to do
something that will increase their in
comes and cut down their expenses.
This is exactly what the Farm Bureau
stands for aid every farmer in the
county should get behind this institu-
tioa and back it up. We take days off
to visit our friends, hunt birds and
catch fish, in other words just for
sport and fun and now why can't we
take one day that we might think, talk
and reason together in trying to make
rift in this awful business cloud that
now hangs. over US. Let every man
come and bring his family and basket
and while the young folks enjoy the
day the older heads can hear and
study the plans Of the Lafayette
County Farm Bureau.
If the loss Of one day will cause
you to lose your crop you have very
slim chance to win.

To become Christ's disciple we must
separate ourselves from whatever is
hostile to him. The old problem of
how to serve two masters is tried
afresh with generation. How are we
to set our hearts on heavenly things
and on the things of earth? How
are we to serve God and mammon
The twentieth century fancies it has
found the solution, just as former gen
erations have done, but long ago
Christ pronounced the attempt impos
sible We must be one thing or the
other, either Loyalty and heartily
Christ's or against him. There is no
such thing as recoaciling worldly am
billions and heavenly aspirations. We
cannot serve God and mammon. To
become Christ's disciples we must sep
arate ourselves from all that hinders
our growth in tn edivine life, and
checks our efficiency in Gods service.
