The most successful farmers COM

nroduction. A COW and one acre
are worth more than five acres
and a tractor. The combination OF
trucking and dairylng has been

wav grasses and forage crops grow

Every good farmer knows that
he can pay his taxes with one

eggs may fall, but they always

Viewing all the forgeing as

witnesses the growing conviction
that the region may become one
of the exposures of all eyes IN
America. The natives hate to

their children to it; far-sighted
men from north and west hav"
invested in it; public-spirited
statesmen are pledging themselves
to its progress; educators are es-

lies in the possible invasion by

| THE DEFEAT OF INDIAN
The qualities displayed in the
defeat of INDIAN included reil-
ance on God. obedience to Gideon
and cooperation of the three
hundred in the conflict.
Gideon'S strategy exactly fit
ted the critical situation he was
in. Descending in the dark to
the edge of the hostile camp and
treasured by the dream which he
overheard one Midianite soldier
tell another, Gideon climbed back
up the hill and prepared for his
weird midnight attack. He plac-
ed in the hands Of every one of
his men, not a sword or other
armor, for. they seem to have
been totally unarmed. but trum-
pet, an empty pitcher, and a
torch within the pitcher. He d.
vided the three hundred into
three companies and stationed
them around the sleeping host,
probably at the head of the val
lev and on the two ridges en-
closing it right and left. When
all were ready, Gideon sounded
the signal. Then the pitchers
were broken and the flaming tor
ches held aloft in the midnight
air and gloom. At the same time
there was mighty blast of
trumpets from every side. And
quickly followed the piercing bat
tIecrv. THE sword of Jehovah
and of Gideon
Gideon's success was instant
and complete. The glare Of the
torches. the sound Of the trum-
pets. the din Of the Hebrew bat
tlecry had the desired effect.
The host of INDIAN. reused from
their slumber, was seized with
the greatest CONSERVATION. In.
shivering fright they turned upon
each other with great slaughter.
In the widest confusion and dis
order they fled toward their ma
tive land. The soldiers of Israel
pursued, the Jordan fords were
guarded. and the enemy decisive
" defeated with the loss Of two
kings, two princes, and 12O,O 900
soldiers, besides immense spoil.
Thus Gideon crushed INDIAN.

OUR VALLEY
By S. P. WERNER
x

The Valley was once a fisher
mans paradise, a hunters happy
ground; it has been much depict
ed of its game and fish, just as
it lost its virgin timber; but it
can stage come-back-in fact,
it is already doing so. A Transyl-
vania octogenarian told the writ
or that when he was a lad he
took eighty speckled trout in one
morning, all over seven inches
long, some eighteen, with hook
and line and worms for bait. "Oh,
them was the days" he said. But
q fishing stream. unlike a gold
mine, may run on forever. In its
case. what has been, may be again.
The Valley, under proper consrr-
cotton and stocking, may again
gladden. the Waltonians' SONS.
The rainbow. the Speckled trout,
bass. and muSkcllung may all yet
flourish so that the barefoot
mountain boy no less than the
khaki-clad and booted tourist may
get his fill. It is all a question of
cooperative planning and ade-
quatc conservation. Nearly every
farmer could have his well-stOck-
cd fish-pond. The main river could
bc made alive again.
There are cOveS, large and small
with trout streams running
through them, which lend them
selves to trout propagation as few
other places as accessible to the
traveller or the resident anywhere
in the world. In fact, the trout
industry could be made to rival
the poultry. 1t is all matter OF
management and protection, Of
knowledge. skill, and the relatively
limited capital needed.
Some special measures under
legal and governmental auspices
are needed to render effective the
Restocking now going on from the
hatcheries. When these are work
ed out, the fishing ought to get
back to its old pre-eminence. Even
now, in the National Forest, and
in some special localities, fisher
men may enjoy abundant sport.
By cU-ordinating the four kim
dred objectiveS--"ame and fish
development, forestry, fire pre-
ventiOn, and flood control, under
central agency and authority. or
at least with close liason contact
between them, their common aims
may be the more effectively pro-
NOTED.
The bird life of the Valley gives
it one Of its greatest charms. They
are here from the eagle TO the
humming bird. The morning chorus
just out of my window makes the
radio sound cheap. and the car
dinal and the scarlet tanager make
the pictures on the wall look dead.
They too, must be encouraged and
conserved. They love the Valley
because they find plenty 70 eat
here, besides all the other attrac"
tons, which they discovered long
before mankind came upon The
scene.

Golden Textile Lord is the
strength of my hfei OF whom
shall | be afraid? PSALM 27:l.
Israel had been oppressed seven
wear by INDIAN when Gideon re-
ceived his call as deliverer. he
began his reformation by de-
stroving the altar of Baal in
Ophrah. He began his judgeshlp
by calling the men Of Israel TO-
gether to repel the invaders en-
canned in the valley of Jezreel.
ReaSsured by the sign OF the
fleece. ne escamped close to the
enemy. By divine direction ms
army was reduced from 52,OOO
TO 800. Then a decisive victory
was won and Israel refused the
crown and died at ripe OLD age.
Alas. that Israel then sank again
into idolatry.
THE ARMY OF GIDEON
The qualities required IN the
army of Gideon included vigil
auce. courage and faith.
Gideon's army numbered 3d.
600 Of the best fighting men IN
the country. Il was more than
three times the size Of the De-
borah's army. But it was inSig-
uificant i'm comparison with the
ormy confronting it for the in
yaders were like locustS for null
titude and their camelS like the
sand of the srashore for number.
Yet Gideon was undauntcd. he
and his men rose early and en-
camped by the spring of Harod.
Just over the hill north Of them
were stationed the outpoStS OF
the Midianite and AmaLeklLe
armies, cncamped in a valley
opening down into the Plain Of
Esdraelon.
Gideon's band was chosen at
Jehovah's command from the as
sembled patriots by two simple
but severe tests. The reason
back of the rejection of the army
lay in the fact that God must
have all the glory of the victory.
Hence the first test, which was
the test of courage: Let the fear
full and trembling return from
the battlefront To their discred-
il $4,000 men turned back. Did
Gideon tremble when he saw his
army melt away? Nevertheless,
he applied to the 10000 the sec
ond test, which was the test of
vigilance: Take the men to the
spring and let them drink; put
i'm one company all who leiSurely
and without sense Of danger take
the time to get down on their
knees to drink; put in another
company ell who in their alert
ness of mind and movement carry
the water in their hands to their
mouths and quickly pass on. Man

were only thrr, hundred in this
