Sponsored by State Col
lege Extension Work

College Station, Raleigh, April o.
Farmers in 35 North Carolina ,coun-
ties are protecting their land from
erosion under the cooperative ter
racing program sponsored by the
State College agricultural extension
service.
In each of these counties has been
set up a county soil-conservation as
ISOLATION, composed of farmers, which
owns and operates a terracing unit.
said H. M Ellis, extension agricultural
engineer.
Thirty-three counties have one unit
each and two counties have two units
each Four other counties have or
ganized soil-conservation associations,
but have not bought their terracing
equipment.
A terracing unit consists of a trac-
tor and terracing machine which
can be operated at cost Of So an
hour, or about $3.50 an acre on aver
age land.
The rate charged farmers for the
use of terracing machines Is just
enough to pay for the cost of opera
ton plus small amount allowed for
depreciation, Ellis stated.

Il am delighted to see these school
units vote supplements or call cleo

confident we will have at least 20 ad

ing supplemental taxes and thus be
able to offer larger and broader edu
cational advantages to the boys and
girls in their school systems. l think
it is a very hopeful sigma sign that
the people in these cities and counties
want the very test educational advan

these special taxes which have
been voted will not only mean a great
deal to the boys and girls in these
schools, but will also mean a great
deal to the communities, since all of
this additional amount voted for the

DR.. CONRAD HEARD
TWICE ON SUNDAY
First Baptist Revivalist
breaches to Two Large
Congregations

DR.. A. B. Conrad who is conduct
ing the ten-day revival now in pro-
gress at the First Baptist church,
preached to two large congregations
Sunday and brought messages that
were considered very timely in this
day and age.
Music was a part of the services
both morning and evening, and at
both services there were many visit
ors from other churches and the COM
munity at large.
At the night service, the young peo-
pies choir of the church sang, and
A. P. Barnes was at the organ for
both services during the day.
DR.. Conrads night sermon was
based on Belshazzar's feast as relat-
ed in the Old Testament book of
Daniel, and the warning that Thou
art weighed in the balance and found
wanting"
The preacher gave a vivid descrip-
ton of conditions in Babylon at the
time, of the drunken revelry that ex-
isted and the indifference to God and
20 the things Of righteousness. Con-
ditions quite similar to those exist at
the present time, and the revivaEist
interccded with the unsaved people
present IN forsake their way and to
turn to Christ for their salvation He
warned that the patience of God
would ultimately give way to Gods
wrath, pointing to the thin line divid-
ing the two. Jesus, he said, is savior
today, after this life he will be judge,
and all history bears testimony as to
the certainty of Gods judgment upon
those who refuse to accept him.
The revival continues through this
evening and Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings, closing Wednesday evening.
All services are at o'clock, and the
public is invited to attend.
Dr.. Conrad who is pastor of the
First Baptist church of High Point,
preached Sunday morning from a quo
tation in the book OF Ezekiel, Il sat
where they sat"
The pastor, Rev. A. S. Hale, an
nounced today that the closing SCI
vice Wednesday evening will feature
Young Peoples Night. The young peo-
pie Of the church and their friends
will sit in special pcws reserved for
them, and the young folks of the en-
tire community are invited.
