County Agent
Tells Kiwunions
OF Resources

The agricultural resources o.
Jackson county was the subject
of a talk by A. ]. Franklin, coun,
~ agent, at the Kiwanis club or
Tuesday.
Mr.. Franklin prefaced his talk
by saying that although Jackson
county is not primarily an agri-
cultural county it is rich in pos
sibilities.
The pine trees alone If pro-
tected from the ravages of fire
are a source of wealth both in
the present and the future. Until
the people r educated to the
loss entailed each year by care
less burning of the woods this
valuable source OF wealth will
be destroyed, MI. Franklin stated.
Livestock was pointed out as
another important resource Of
the county. Illustrated with pic
lures Mr.. Franklin told of the
winter pasturage project worked
out on the Vogel Farm in Jackson
county. This experiment was
highly successful, he stated.
MI. Franklin was presented by
Allen Richard, program chair
man.

a Ford Tractor.
With the Ford Tractor, you take advantage of
breaks between planting, cultivating and harvesting,
and days when weather keeps you out of fields.
So, with a Ford Tractor, you gain two ways. First,
field work goes faster, saving time for improving your
farm. Second, for this Improvement work, it serves
you as faithfully as it does in the field.
For example, the Ford Tractor, with Dearborn
Equipment, is the right combination for ditching,

wood, making fences, blowing snow.
These Dearborn tools, designed for the Ford
Tractor, can be quickly attached or detached. By
means of the Dearborn Universal Frame, you can
mount an angle dozer, blade snow plow or "V" snow
pillow. With built-in Ford Hydraulic Touch Control,
you lift and lower them with a finger touch.
All these advantages enable you to start a job, get
it over with and pick up another with less time
lost. In the field or out of it the Ford Tractor gives
you economical, handy power. Its many uses make
it your best investment all year round.

ing the box he was struck on
the hand by a very poisonous
snake, which had crept in I'M
awares. He cried out, and an
other sentry came running to
see what the trouble was. He
was rushed to the hospital
where he hung between life
and death for three weeks.
While in this condition he was
persuaded to give his heart to
God. Almost at once he began
to get we'll. The doctors were
amazed for they had not ex-
pected him to live. His hand
and arm were swollen about
three times the normal size.
The swelling went down right
away but his hand was left
still and useless. In three days
he was dismissed from the hos
pital and returned to his home.
He soon forgot his vow to the
Lord and went on his. way as
before. However, he was soon

there he was reminded of his

We greet you all from East
Africa for the first time this
year. We have been so busy
it has been impossible to write
sooner. We had a real feast in
the Lord at Christmas time.
How grand it was to be back
among our African Christians
for this season! Many visitors,
both heather and Christian,
came out to the services. We
not only had services here on
the station, but on some of our
out-stations too. God seemed
to make Himself a little more
real to us this year.
I want to tell you how our
new Nandi worker, Josefu,
came to give gis heart to God.
He was working as a police
man for the Kenya Govern
ment. He was very hard heart
ed and wicked, and more than
once had falsely accused a
man because he had something
against him. He. had done
many mean things and was a
habitual drinker. He was not
at all interested in God, though
he had learned as a small child
to read in mission school,
and had in his possession a
Bible which he had never read.
One day during the war he
was on sentry duty at a camp,
and occasionally he would get
cold and would walk over to

the bill will imperil civil rights of thousands,
