PAscAGouLA cHRoMcLE-srAR and MOSS POINT ADVERTISER

One of the outstanding Baptist
churches along the Gulf Coast,
the First Baptist church of Moss
Point, this year has completed 70
years Of service, looking back
ward in review upon a long rec
ord of evangelism and dissemina-
ton of the Christian gospel.
The church was organized on
September s., 1874, in the Metho-
dist Church house, under the di-
reetion Of DR.. j. B. Hamberlin,
who served as pastor during the
first decade. In the same year, a
house of worship was erected on
the lot where the present church
is located.
This choice of a location proved
to be a wise one for as the town
grew the church came to occupy
a prominent place on Main street
in the heart of the city. Many
additions were made of the orig
inal building; the church now
has more than ten rooms with
the auditorium and serves a con-
gregation of about 400 members.
There were "a members in the
founding group 20 years ago.
AS Moss Point grew some of the
congregation participated in the
organization of the East Moss
Point Baptist church, which took
place under the sponsorship Of
the original church.
To fill the expanded needs of
the congregation of the First Bap-
fist church, a building fund is
being raised for a new structure
to be built after the war. More
than $4,000 in cash has already
contributed to the fund.
The pastor is the Rev. J. F.
Brock, who began his long ten
ure in 1922, and members of the
official board are w. M. Alexan-

clean out the barn. Farmers Bulletin
No. 147O from the United States
Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, D. c., gives some sound
ideas on proper bedding. 1t is free.
1t suggests wheat or oat straw
or corn stover as good bedding
material, with shredded or cut
corn stover first in liquid hold
ing capacity and greatest In fer
tilizer value. Straw, however, is
probably the easiest to get in
your area. Soy bean straw Is
being used in a lot of places.
The USDA says about four pounds
of wheat straw per day gives suit
able bed and keeps the cow clean,
but eight pounds does a better job
of absorbing liquid.

in Extension Folder 1O6, cautions
not to handle bedding in the barn for

War Food Administration Off
w Gals figure that the maximum
number of milk cows for which there
will be feed and other facilities should
be reached by the end of this year.
At the same time, a lot of heifers
calved in 1912 and 1913 will be
coming into production.
This situation may make it posi-
BILE for the dairy farmer to change
the makeup of his herd so that he
can keep the same number of cows
and produce more milk than his
present herd is giving, or cut down
the number of cows and still keep
milk volume to this years level.
The extension services and ex-
perimental stations have proved
conclusively that high produc-
ing cows use feed and labor to
better advantage than do low
producers. If you can get rid of a
low producer and replace it with
a well-bred heifer, you may cut
your cost of production and at
the same time supply more milk
for the war food program.
One of the studies on this subject
which / ran across recently was from
the University of Idaho. The figures
showed that, at the time of the test,
a COW producing $50 lbs. of fat had
a feed cost of 30.6c per pound. The
cost of getting a pound of fat from
conveying $50 pounds of fatwas 1850.
Putting it another way, the Idaho
figures showed that the low pro-
ducer brought in $3.50 for every
dollars worth of feed consumed,
while the high producer returned
$3.50 for every feed dollar.
Point Five of the S-Point Dairy
Program is ''keep as many COWS
as feed ard labor permit" It Is
vitality important that milk
production be held at the best
possible level in future months.
But it is equally important that
feed be used most efficiently.
Feed and labor are the limiting
factors in dairy production, the Uni
versity of California says, and such
feed and labor must be used to best
advantage. suggest a talk with your
county agent, for advice on your
herd, whether you can and should
Gull on a basis of replacing a low
producer with well-bred heifer.

Some months ago we mentioned a
University of Missouri Extension
bulletin on how to build your own
stock tank heater. This seems a good
time to bring up the subject again,
since before long you'll have to fig
ure out some way to take the chill
off water your cows drink, if they
are to be kept in top production.
Missouri says cows production
can be increased from 25% to 1909
by giving her water the temperature
ofwhich is so to go degrees, instead OF
icy water. Cold water causes a reduc-
ton in milk flow, reduces the cows
water intake andcausesi t. to eat more
grain, in order to warm up again.
The bulletin shows how to build
a heater out of a milk can, simply
and easily and at very slight cost in
money or labor. If you do not have
one, / suggest you write the Exten-
sion Service, Columbia, Missouri
and get a copy of Circular 484.*
