Grain Situation
Appears Gloomy

1t is apparent to all of us now that
a very short oat crop will be har-
vested in Mississippi this year, says
George L. Evans, Asst. county agent
There is a great demand for oats
now and the demand will probably
increase within the next 80 DAYS.
All farmers who are going to plant
oats next fall should have them
bought or contracted before or at
harvesting time this spring Unless
this is done we are not going to
have planting oats we will need
later. ,toa
later, Mr.. Evans said.
The wheat average will probably
be increased any time over what
was planted last fall. 1t is advisable
to farmers planting wheat to buy
their seed at the same time they
buy their oats.
There is going to be an extreme
shortage of all grains for perhaps
the next eighteen months at least.
We are going to feel it in this area
much sooner than the people an
ticipate it. Flour and meal are 60
ing to be hard to find in less than
thirty days. The "set-a-side" order
by Secretary of Agriculture, c. An
derson, will take so much of the
wheat and corn and there isn't 60
ing to be nough left to anything
like give lis what we are going to
need.

ment that Belhaven College at
Jackson, Mississippi, has been ad-
mitted to full membership in the
Southern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools and that the

ton has lacked the 100000 endow-
ment fund required to meet full
membership standards. Now that the
$500,000 has been secured, the board
of trustees plans to raise an addi
tional 100000 for the construction
of new dormitory, an administra-
ton building, and a gymnasium.
The sum of 100000 has already
been pledged for construction pro-
jects, permitting the college to start
the program within short time,
and the additional amount, it is
hoped, will be raised within the next
ten years. Plans for the expansion
program are being carried out under
the direction of DR.. G. T. Gillespie,

SPIRITUAL STARVATION

AS newborn babes, desire the
sincere milk of the word, that We
may grow thereby" / Peter 90.
Famine and starvation stalk the
world as the aftermath of war. The
worlds food supply is short and as
a result millions are suffering from
inadequate food.
Ihis is terrible situation and one
that everyone should do what he
can to alleviate. All will agree that
1t is small thing for each to con-
serve and produce to help the
worlds starving people.
Everyone would also agree that
there is no need to live on a starya.
ton diet in the midst of plenty. Yet
that is what millions are doing in
regard to spiritual things. A new
baby must be fed every few hours
II it is to grow strong and healthy.
A new life in Christ, also, NUT be
fed on the milk of the Word of God.
With a Bible in practically every
home and church on nearly every
corner, surely there is no need Of
anyone hungering for lack of spirit
ual nourishment. Wet, many never
avail themselves of the spiritual
food to be had. Others seek to build
strong Christian characted on onlv
very occasional meal. Almost all
are suffering from suipitual vitamin
efficiencies. And all this in the midst
of plenty
All that is needed to overcome this
spiritual starvation is faithful use of
the mans of growth in grace. Set
aside some time every day to study
the Bible. Attend church to hear il
taught and preached. "As newborn
babes, desire the sincere milk of the
word, that ye may grow thereby"

One Type OF Kidney Stone
And Ways Of Treutinq 1t

are present, to remove them BY
means of operation.
However, according to DR.. c. A.
Cawker of Montreal, other meas
ures of treatment may aid in get
ting rid of the condition. The
patient is given plenty of fluids
and a search is made for infec-
tions in the teeth, tonsils, sinuses,
or elsewhere in the body. If any
are found, they are cleared up with
appropriate treatment. The pa
tient is given n diet rich in aka
line ash-forming foods and is also
given alkaline substances such as
mixtures Of citrates and carbon
ates by mouth. The amount of
proteins in the diet is moder-
ately reduced. DR.. Cawker noted
no harmful effects from this treat
ment.
Further Stone Formation
Once the cystine stones have
been removed, further stone for.
nation can be prevented by follow.
ing for one week Of each month a
high alkaline-ash and low protein
diet with sufficient alkali by mouth
to keep the urine alkaline.
OF course, 1t must be remem-
bered that not all kidney or blad-
der stones are made up Of cystine.
In cases Of other types of stones
an alkaline-ash diet would not be
useful, but might even be harmful.
Thus, when stones occur, the
physician must determine the type
of chemical makeup, before de-
Gliding on what preventive msss-
urcs may be best employed.

AMINO acids are the substances
from which the proteins found in
such foods as milk, meat, and eggs
are formed, and into which they
must be broken down again before
the body can use them for its own
building and repair jobs.
One of these is sulphur-con-
tanning amino acid known as cys-
tine, which is present in the pro-
tein foods o. a normal diet. Ordi-
narily, the body uses cystine much
as 1t uses any other of the many
amino acids It must have for
growth and repair Of tissue.
An Occasional Case
Occasionally however, doctors
run across an individual who seems
unable to utilize this substance
and instead secreses it in the urine.
This condition is known as cystin-
uria and, when it is present, stones
made up of cystine may form in
the kidney or bladder. These stones
are oval, smooth and Of a chalky-
white or light-yellowish color.
They are soft and can be easily
cut, like piece Of hard soap. They
feelslightly greasy.
fla person has kidney or bIad-
der stone 1t may be advisable to
test the urine for the presence Of
dystinc.- This can be done by ex-
animation o. the urine under the
microscope, when the crystals of
cystine will DO seen. It may be
necessary, when cystine stones

COP PATRONAGE

Patronage is something that goes
/, along with politics. and has come
to be expected by both the success
full candidates and those who have
. been very active III putting them in
TO ofir-e. Hence. the Republicans al
ready are licking their chops. as
the saying goes. in anticipation Of
passing around the rewards when
they take over on Capitol Hill early
in January.
With that. as such, little fault can
be found. What the country. and
particularly the economists. are in
tercStcd in seeing is that the sur
pulses shall be weeded out. One Of
the big criticisms by the Republicans
and others against the Democratic
regime OF sixteen years standing
has been the millions of people who
have been attached 10 the Federal
payroll. Whether one relishes the
new political flavor or not. most
people will hope that the economy
''''''' "''"' WHICH tIie hepuDIlCanS
have talked SO mlS,h will make a
clean sweep Of the Superflllitics and
staff the Federal establishment
with only so many people as are
actually needed and as are honest
~ essential for carrying on govern
ment business in efficient manner.
All along there has been the
suspicion that the opposition. should
ii come into control. would only en-
change personnel: that is. kick out
the Democrats and install Republic
cans III their places. That is not
what most good citizens desire.
Nothing would be gained by such
a shift. For years il has been COM
monty goSSipcd about that Federal
workers are SO thick in Washington.
and elsewhere. that they scarcely
have standing room and step on each
others toes. ticuratIvely speaking.
at least. in making prctcnsc at dis
charg ng supposed duties and re-
spoons .ollitIeS. To continue that prac-
ticc will be no Improvement at all
on what we nave now.
No one. and least OF all the poll
ticians. will find serious fault if
there shall be changes. In American
politics the rule has been. and still
is, that to the victor belong the
/: spoils. Until and unless that is
!. changed in favor of efficiency and
: necessity. the party in power may
/. be expected to demand. and get. the
!, soft spots for the faithful Of its own
organization.
But the Republicans owe it to the
T. country. out of sense of true
:: economy. to weed out all non-cs-
; sential jobs; that is 10 say. abolish
; such connections altogether Unless
) they do. the finger of accusation will
!. not be long in aiming at these new
I: rulers of the legislative branch of
Z the government. and properly so.
( 1t is the COPS privilege now 10

:. patronage. But its responsibility is
: also to eliminate all excess baggage.
