Gardens

The first day it is possible for you
to pillow your garden, you should pre-
pare for spring planting. BY doing
this now, you may have garden 80
to go days earlier than if you neglect
doing so. Fertilize your garden
heavy with commercial fertilizer,
preferably 6-8-4 or 6-8-9. AS you
know, all vegetables require large
amounts of fertilizer in order to pro-
duce good quality. A well planned,
properly planted and properly
worked and cared for garden is
worth at least $4,000 to the average
family during the spring, summer or
fall So, this being true, why not
cultivate and raise just as good gar
den as you try to do with your cotton
corn and other farm products that
YOU are to sell. AS soon as you can
prepare your garden, you may go
ahead and plant beets, carrots, head
and leaf lettuce, spinach, mustard,
onion sets and plants, radishes, ten
dergreens, set cabbage plants and
turnips without much danger OF
having them killed unless we have a
very severe cold spell. The above
mentioned plants will stand tenn
perature in the low twenties. Also,
in early February or in February,
I would suggest that you plant
English peas and Irish potatoes.

A Few Planting Hints

Don't rush the season but don't
be late. If the ground is wet, put off
planting. 1t may be well on your
early crops to make double rows on
each bed. Prepare the soil well be-
fore planting. On most vegetables,
particularly tomatoes, egg plants,
and peppers, the fertilizer should be
applied at least inches deep and at
least two weeks before setting out
your tomatoes, peppers or egg plants
Give the fertilizer a chance to be-
come available before setting these
plants in your garden. Keep in mind
that in fertilizing for tomatoes and
cabbage, the application of fertilizer
should be heavy, at the rate OF l50O
pounds per acre, for best results.
For beans, snap and pole, at the rate
of six to eight hundred pounds per
acre. Your mustard greens, spinach
and tendergreens should have a
heavy application of nitrogen.
For further information concern
ing any of the above plants, contact
YOUR County Agent or Vocational
Agriculture workers in your county

GOSPEL TALKS
BY Rev. r. c. Valentine
CHRISTIANITY AND THE BOOK

Eve also have more sure word
of prophecy; whereunto we do well
that We take heed, as unto light
that shineth in dark place" Peter
lie.
Christianity is unique in many
aspects among the religions of the
world. The basic reason for its I'M
iqueness is its incorporate book,
the Bible. Christianity is a revealed
religion and is based not on mems
PHILOSOPHERS and opinions but upon
the revelation of God in His Word.
Men have sought after God thro-
ughout the history of the world. Man
is innately religious. The story OF
his search for the intimate is written
in many books, in heathern temples,
and in the worship of false gods.
But the knowledge of the one true
God does not originate with man but
comes from God. He has graciously
revealed to man all that he needs to
know about Himself to believe in
Him and worship Him. 1.-THE world
by wisdom knew not God" Il Cor.
1:21) but God gave a revelation of
Himself and of His gracious salvat-
ion.
This revelation given by God was
climaxed in the person of Gods son.
God who at sundry times and IN
divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets,
hath in these last days spoken unto
us by His Son" Hebrews liz.
I'm Him dwelleth all the fulness of
the Godhead bodily"--Col 20. He
who reveals God to us in all His
glory shows forth Gods love by
dying for sinners. In Him we have
redemption through His blood.
The Bible is well-termed the book
of salvation because the religion it
reveals is religion of salvation.
Christianity therefore, has unique
book, the Bible, and unique mes
sage, the message of salvation in
Christ There is no other Word of
God and no other way of salvation.
Accept Christ as He is revealed in
the Bible as your Savior today.

need less pruning, but should be
thinned out some each year. Any
limbs on apple and pear trees that
are touching one another or crossing
one another, and having tendency
to rub or injure either limb, the
weakest of the two limbs should be
cut away.
Examine your trees for scale and
spray with oil emulsion, if you find
any scale present at all. 1t is not too
