ST. MATTHEW'S METHODIST
CHURCH

A very solemn and inspiring
communion service was held at
the morning service, Sunday,
April 4. This marked the fourth
Sunday in the "Go-To-Church
Campaign. In keeping with the
seal for the day, which read,
I'm America Your Conscience
The Only Dictator" Rev.
Brewer preached n very impress
sive sermon on the subject, LET
Jesus Christ BE Your Dictator
Today" He took his text from
the Sth Chapter Of st. Jonn
and the 36th verse OF st. Jonh
For If Christ shall make you
free We shall be free indeed"
He depicted the deplorable
condition that the world is in
today, and how men had strug-
gled for peace. Even monuments
have been erected to comemo-
rate peace and yet there Is
strife. There should be pre-
vailing peace, the wide world
over and yet men fight but 1.-The
blood of Jesus cleanses from all
sins" and Eye shall know the
truth and the truth shall make
you free"
After the sermon, the alter
was filled twelve times with the
members and friends who COM
muned. The last two tables were
the girls and boys who will be
the women and men OF the
church of tomorrw.

Communion Service
On Sunday night, communion
service was held. Rev. Hairston
too his text from Psalms 16:11,
using as his subject, "The Souls
Longing for The Joy and Plea
sures of the Presence Of God"
Points:
We have careless ways OF
speaking but the soul of man
longs for the JOY and the plea
sures OF the presence Of God.
We may talk carelessly about
it but it still Graves the pres
ence of God. The soul came from
God and it wants to get back
to God.
Sin annoys Christians souls.
If It doesn't worry you, there is
something wrong with you or
you are a part it it. There is
no sin where God Is.
God gives us relase from these
sins at any time that we so de-
sire.
You cannot say that sin does
not disturb you, because sin is
all around us.
It is a bad experience to be
misunderstood When you try
to bring persons to the right
things they think that you are
trying to expose their wrongs.
Sometimes they do not want to
understand us.
In Gods heaven, there is no
discord, no misunderstanding,
strife OF malice.
The pleasures of life that are
disrupted will not be known in
heaven.
Let us toll and not give up
the struggle and we will go to
that place where we will be
happy, not just once q week
(Snnday) but every day.

Farmer Plots Crop Acreage Under New AAA Program;
Agency Aid Drive to Meet Huge Wartime Production

planning. Emphasis is falling still
more heavily on the need for better
yields per acre. To achieve this,
more attention is being given to pro-
duction practices which immediate
ly increase yields.
About activity in the use of lime
and phosphate, contour cultivation
and terracing, for example, is being
urged. Over three-fourths of 1943
production practice payment funds
for the country as a whole will be
used to promote such quick helps
to better crops. In the East Central
region, about 80 per cent of such
payments are going for promotion of
this immediate-yield program.
Production practices, reports
show, are feeling the ''localizing" in
f1uence just as are other branches
of the AAA program. Formerly the
rates of payment for different prac-
tees were worked out on what might
be termed a national basis. This
year the various regions determine
the soil building allowances for the
farms in their particular areas, with
relation to the particular problems
involved. In the Southern region
each state has its own basis for de-
termining soil building allowances.
Reason for this localization is OBJ
vious. Production practices may be
more easily adapted to the individu-
al areas and the individual farms
within them. In turn, available funds
may be used to the best advantage
and with the greatest efficiency.
Acreage limitations have been re-
moved on a number of crops which
previously had such limits. Except
for short staple cotton, tobacco and
perhaps one or two other crops,
farmers are urged to exceed their
goals in 1913. This is particularly
true of dairy products and meat.
Goals for most crops are mini

Government plans to grow nearly
half million tons OF hemp annually
promise to restore to Kentucky the
hemp industry for which the state
was first distinguished.
Kentucky's blue grass section was
adapted to hemp. Seed had come
to the Colonies from Europe; Vir-
ginia supplied Kentucky's early
planters. \. In time practically all
hemp in the United States was grown
from Kentucky seed. A generation
ago, the Estate was still producing
nearly a quarter million pounds of
seed a year. Grown for its fiber,

the hemp shoots up seven to ten
feet, and II feet when cultivated for
seed.
Homespun cloth was woven from
the fiber by wives and daughters of
settlers. A later use Of the fiber
included the making of bagging, cot
ton baling, rope and sailcloth. Early
in the last century Kentucky had a
dozen mills making hemp bagging;
10 producing hemp rope for fast clip
per ships and other merchantmen,
and for the growing U. S. navy.

Americas Allies.
AAA committeeman and the farm
ers, working hand in hand, are do
ing their best to develop and carry
through the most efficient and pro-
ductive individual farm programs
they can. Problems Of every sort
stand in their way-labor, machin-
cry, transportation and material
shortages being paramount.
By their close personal co-opera-
ton, however, they make possible
an equally close relationship be-
tween the farmer and his govern
ment.
Americas farmers have a tre-
mendous production job ahead of
them. Demands for food such as
they are now attempting to fill have
never before been made upon any
nation. Last year they upped pro-
duction IL per cent over al. Another
5 per cent increase is hoped for
in '43.

Under the 1913 agricultural

farmer for the first time has
the full responsibility for
measuring his acreages on
specific crops and reporting
the results he gets. Formerly
this was done by AAA en-

will conserve travel, cut down

Committeeman Will Help
Arrange Cooperative Action

Among his activities is helping to
arrange cooperative use of scarce
machinery and cooperative trans
portation programs. Many locali-
ties already have worked out sue
cessful schemes for sharing trucks
and trailers, as well as binders,
combines, picking machines and
other mechanical aids to planting
and harvesting essential war crops.
Facilities for storage of crops are
sometimes another item for him to
handle.
Assistance in the various loan and
purchase programs instituted by the
Food Distribution administra ton
and Commodity Credit corporation
is made available through the AAA
committeeman. Increased produc-
ton of peanuts, soybeans, hemp Gun
der a special program), castor bean
seed, Irish potatoes, and many 9TH
er crops has been greatly aided by
such programs. New applications
for insurance on the 1913 cotton crop
will be handled by the committee
man, and he will in addition keep
farmers informed of the availability
of loans, insurance and payments
under the program.

ALI Problems Dealt With on Local Basis

gram to reach these goals is local
action" It recognizes that the job
Of production adjustment-of shift
ing crops to meet war needs and
planning acreage to the best adj
vantage-must be worked out and
carried out on the individual farms.
1t can't be done in Washington, say
the committeeman. It must be done
locally, to conform to the local stu
alton.
Instead of national overall goal
formula" each state and county
has been left free to adopt the means
which seem best suited to the par
ticular section concerned. Wide lat
itude is given the committeeman in
making goal assignments. They are
not only allowed to determine such
assignments on capacity of the
farmer to produce" basis. They are
expected to use such a yardstick.
Capacity to produce varies accord
ing to the character Of the farm
land, machinery and labor availa-
BILE, and many other factors. Each
region has its individual problems
which must be taken into considera-
ton in determining what the specific
area may reasonably do in given
period.
AAA Committeeman Will
Keep Government Informed
The role Of the AAA committee
man will be that Of an important
go-between who keeps the govern
ment informed on the farmers prog
ress and problems, and the farmer
informed on what the government
expects of him and what it is doing
to help him circumvent obstacles
that present themselves.
Adjustment, the process Of help
ing the farm operator to scale his
crop production upward or down.
ward to fit into the national agricul-
tural picture, has always been one
of the major activities Of AAA. It
helps farmers meet production
problems by providing guidance and
assistance in producing the kinds of
crops that are needed in the re-
quired amounts, working in cooper
alton with other units of the depart
ment of agriculture.
Community farmer committeeman
in 1912 totaled $4,000 regular elected
committeeman and about $4,000 al
ternates. County committees totaled
1923 with 9,087 members. The coun-
ty committeeman are responsible to
the state offices, which in turn re-
port to the. regional offices. Uncle
