BETTER CORN YIELDS

Increases in corn yield in recent
years illustrates the combined efforts
of hybrid varieties, good land man
agement and greater utilization of
lime and fertilizer, comments Alvin
T. M. Lee, of the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics in discussing
far mprospects.
Corn yields on typical cash grain
farms in the Corn Belt fluctuated eb-
tween 80 and 40 bushels to the acre
during the period from 1910 to
1885," he says. However, during
each of the years from 1887 to 1912
they exceeded 40 bushels to the acre.
The greater yields in recent years
represent an increase Of more than
rs per cent.

"Never lonely of heart"

n ECENTLY heard over the radio
TX as an advertising slogan were
1.-the words. Gwen in wartime,
those who know they are loved are
never lonely of heart" These words
brought to listener significance
deeper than doubtless had originally
been intended by the company
whose slogan they were.
even in wartime" the announcer
had begun. Certainly, loneliness
may seem acute to those stationed at
remote outposts, assigned TO uncon-
genial tasks, separated from the
warmth of human companionship
as the advertisers correctly pointed
out, if even such as these know
they are loved" they are conscious
of a certain heart warming COM
fort, which in a measure antidotes
their loneliness.
Unnumbered are those who, not
only in wartime but at all times,
have loneliness as their daily fare.
They may be hemmed in by civili-
cation, but they are living in the
midst of many perpetually unsym-
pathetic and uninterested indivi-
duals. Truly unfortunate are those
who do not know they are loved"
Recalling the Apostle Johns as
sertion that God is Love, and con-
templating Loves universally, we
realize that none can be separated
from the presence of Love-their
Father, Mother, Minister, Physician,
and "only real relative"-in all its
tender ministerings. Love is truly
present with earth's "lonely of
heart"
To avail ourselves of this abiding
presence necessitates the whole
hearted admission on our part that
God is All to us. This does not mean
a detached and cold turning away
in our thinking from individuals.
1t only means the happy acknowl-
edgment that God is All-in-all, and
the according to Him of first place
In our affections. The very admis-
sion is an effectual guard against
loneliness of heart, for it indicates
that we are beginning to free our
selves from dependence upon mate
rial circumstances.

presence, Mary Baker Eddy says
