Root Rot Hits BeetS;
Yield Nay Be LOWer

After surmounting the difficulties
of last springs wet weather which
delayed sugar beet planting, beet
growers of this area now are facing
the possibility of losses from beet
rot.
The blight brought on by heavy
August rainfall, combined with ex-
treme heat and humidity, has made
its appearance in many fields thru
out the sugar beet growing area.
Some growers believe their yield
may be cut as much as 10 per cent.
Fields seem to be affected in
spots, according to farm observers,
who report that rotting root systems
can effectively destroy plants, many
of which now have bowls averaging
around two younds.
There seems to be no cure-all for
the blight, as aerating plants at
this stage of the season might result
in as much damage as that caused
by root rot
Another six weeks of good wealth
er should round out the crop for
harvesting, growers believe, despite
late planting.

BOOK REVIEW
THE COMING OF THE
THIRD WORLD WAR
BY James Morris Webb
Author of
"The Black Man, Father of
Civilization
p r E r A c E

The coming Third Worlds
War" is in Biblical prophecy. In
this book, | am quoting Biblical
references concerning the afore
mentioned Third Worlds War"
There will be two classes OF
war equipment-human equipment
and Devine equipment. In other
words, it will be mans power
against Gods power. The war that
God declared against the Egyptian
government ended in the Red Sea.
This coming war, the Third World
War, will end in the Mediter-
ranean Sea around Jerusalem.
Read the Srd Chapter of the
Book of Joel, beginning with the
9th verse and reading through the
21st verse. These verses outline
the matter in a symbolic form.
Great Britain's Palestine Prob
lem" is the gateway to the COM
ing Third World War. No United
Nations conferences will prevent
the prophesied war from occur
ring, for the Sth Chapter of Isaiah
9th and 10th verses states that
these conferences will fail.

and prophecy, God has prepared

Nor did death ask him if he had a

Now he can't talk big and brave
He can't say any more about keep

He can't stop colored people from
voting in a southern town.
And can't teach the whites to run

Because his body is deep in the
