Do Farmers Want It?

We remember some years ago when the farmers
of the nation greatly interested in form of
crop insurance.
The experiment was first tried out with wheat
and subsequently extended to cotton the great staple
crops of the nation.
Now the Congress of the United States has de-
cned to appropriate the funds necessary to continue
the experiment Undoubtedly, crop insurance would be
godsend to many farmers If they want it. they might
get busy and tell Congress.

Simple Machinery


The way this share-the-risk thing
works is simple. The farmer puts
up his land and labor. the RACE
puts up the out-of-pocket costs after
the county war board and its own
representatives have approved the
deal.
II the crop comes out all right,
the farmer pays the loan. If it is
wiped out by bugs. drouth or dis
aster tand when OF Man River went
hog-wild this spring, there was lot
Of wiping ouD his liability isn't
wiped out, too, because his liability
is limited to what he took in from
the crop and the incentive payments
or insurance on it.
1T wasn't so much a matter of
how much money was loaned" Gov
ernor Black said to me, las where
it was loaned and what it was loaned
for. In the past few months. the
country has awakened to the neces-
sity of producing the vital crops to
the limit, and that's where we con-
centrated our financing"
Well, that is one agency that has
been able to go ahead without hav-
ing to duck the political brickbats.
Other government agencies, not so
lucky, had to take lot of punish

tics. The poor Commodity Credit
corporation, which everybody seems
to love for itself alone, got into an
unpleasant jam with the subsidies.
and had a tight squeeze partly
through pure politics. partly because
congress and the President didn't
see eye-to-eye on the anti-infation
program.

RADIANT LIVING

What tragedy happened to that

thieves," They stripped him OF

wounded him. and left him hall
dead"
Are not Jesus words descriptive
of the tragedy that happens when
a consecrated man of God slips
away from his holy living and
gradually sinks into a life of sin
Such man has truly left "Jerusa
lem" and gone down to Jericho.
In symbolism Jerusalem" means
city of peace" representing an
unselfish life centered in a devout
love for God, spiritual in character.

of the valley. a place of palms.
luxury, and vice. 1t symbolizes a
goddess life which exists only for
sensuOus pleasure.
Since Jerusalem is situated on a
height. any departure from it is
down. This is also true spiritual
ly. Any departure from spiritual
experience is down.
Along the way down from spirit
nal living to a Jericho life lurk

These thieves are ruthless vii
lians. Any one of them is capable
of stripping you of every spiritual
garment that you possess. Any
one of them can give you such a
wound in the spirit a stO incapaci-
tate you for any further Christian
service. Any one of them is able
to slav vour sDiritual life. leaving

INDUSTRY NEEDS DECENT
LIVING STANDARDS ALSO

Another experienced representa-
tive of the oil industry warns
against the petroleum shortage
facing the nation. John A. Brown,
president of the Socony-Vacuum
Oil Company. recently declared:
"Of course. we have had impending
crude oil shortages in the past. and
the industry succeeded in making
great new discoveries. This came
about largely by intensive effort
and great risk of capital of many
individual operators. working with
the hope of reward for any success
that might be attained. If the oil
industry does not continue to make
large new discoveries. our country
will soon need large imports, of
crude oil or products e"
The way to find more oil in this
country. is the way it has been
found in the past. Encourage eX-
plOratiOn by permitting profits
commensurate with the risks.
