Project Your Corn From Weevils
In Storage:

Corn weevils cause a heavy loss
in our crop each year. The annual
loss to farmers due to weevil dam
age is from five million to 10 million
dollars. The only practical way to
prevent this weevil damage OF corn
is by fumigation. If your cribs are
tight your corn can easily be furni-
gated without any additional pre-
paration. Cribs that have cracks and
rat holes should be lined with 10
pounds asphalt building felt, light
weight roofing or orange labeled
sisalkraft building paper. The cost
of lining a crib holding 275 or 300
bushels of corn with shuck on, will
range between 8 to IL dollars. The
lining will last several years with
proper care. Weevils can be COM
pletely eradicated by lining your
crib and fumigating with carbon
bisulfide (High-Life) or some other
good fumigant material.
How To Fumigate: Before filling
your crib with corn, clean out tho
roughly, spray walls and cracks with
a 5 per cent D. D. T. solution, line
your crib and refill with cor On
a warm day when the temperature
is 70 degrees or above with no wind
blowing is the best time to fumi-
gate Use about one gallon Of fumi-
CANT for each $50 to 800 bushels of
corn. If the crib is not air tight
double the amount of material used
if the crib is tight. The cribs only
have to be sealed about six inches
above the top of the corn in the
crib. After fumigating you should
spread a tarpaulin, quilt, sacks or
something over the top of the corn
for a few days. Be sure that you
keep all fire including smoking of
cigarettes, etc. away from your
crib for at least two or there days
as this material is explosive.

temper, as when he denounced a
fig tree for not yielding fruit to
appease his hunger, though it was
not the fruit bearing season. And
he was Incorporate in his con-
demnation of the scribes and
PhariSees, most of whom were
thoroughly honest and dedicated
men.
What Then?
These failings are understand
able and pardonable as human
frailties. Certainly they are more
than offset by virtues The point
is, however, that they are incon-
sistent with any claim to perfec-
ton on Jesus behalf, to be un-
critically reverred and emulated
without reservation.
A Great Man-Exalted Man
Very well then, says the Chris
tian, let it be conceded that Jesus
is neither God, nor uniquely His
son, nor the Messiah, nor moral
prophet, nor even an impeccable
human being. Certainly he was,
despite his frailties, great man.,
a gifted and exalted teacher. Will
not the Jews accept his as such?
To which the answer of Jews
runs: "Have Jews, except under
the EXTREMIST provocation, ever
quarreled with such a presenta-
tion of Him."
The Arizona post., 1948-10-01

juStifying such an appraisal of
him. Again, Judaism is Jared by
the world-weariness he displayed,
his Indifference to social affairs
and day-by-day living, his absorp-
ton in life after death and in the
Messianic Era. This temper in him
is easy to account for. Together
with many Jews of his time, he
seems to have been convinced
that the end of the old order of
nature and society was at hand,
that a new and ideal age was soon
to be inaugurated.
A Perfect Man?
But will not Jews accept him,
if not as a prophet, then at least
as a perfect man, an ideal for all
to initiate? That too is not tenable.
The sober truth is that Jesus, spir-
itual hero that he is, is not per-
feet. The Jesus of the Christian
imagination is actually an ideali-
zation, achieved by an unconscious
but judicious selection from New
Testament incidents. Jesus shows
no interest in the life of reason
and beauty, more specifically in
the philosophy, science and art of
the Greco-Roman world of his
time. He is so preoccupied with
the individual and his salvation
that he has little to say about So
ciety. Few of the communal con-
flicts of his time touch him.
No!
Nor was his character altogeth-
er unexceptionable.
He was capable of bursts of ILL

A Teacher Of Judaism

A Teacher Of Judaism
Let us take the Gospel story as
it stands, strain out of it the cpl
Sodes that relate of wonderwork-
ing, and then ask what Judaism
has to say of the Jesus who en-
ergeS, who is incidently the Jesus
of many liberal Christians. To
Jews, that Jesus appears as an ex-
traordinarily beautiful and noble
spirit, aglow with love and pity
for men, especially for the unfor-
tunate and lost, deep in piety, of
keen insight into human nature,
endowed with a brilliant gift of
parable, an ardent Jew moreover,
a firm believer of the faith of his
people; all in all, dedicated
teacher of the principles, religious
and ethical, of Judaism.
A Moral Prophet?
But is he not something more
than teacher? Should he not be
taken for moral prophet also,
one who promulgated new, high
er, hitherto unknown principles
of conduct? Not if the record is
examined effectively. The signal
fact about Jesus is that except for
some relatively unimportant de-
tails, he propounded no ethical
doctrine in which Jewish Tradi-
ton had not anticipated him. In
deed what he taught was the Jew
ish Tradition as he received it
from Scripture and the sages. For
every principle he preached, for
The Arizona post., 1948-10-01

very many of the epigrams and
parallels he struck off, Biblical
or rabbinic precedent exists. The
very phrases of the Sermon on
the Mount can be paralleled one
by one from the Jewish devotion
al literature of his time.
His was an unexcelled gift for
allegory, skill for bringing into
sharp focus that which is per-
ceived, but as through a glass,
darkly. And always there is his
own ersonality, a superb
achievement in his own right. All
this is originality, but, except for
the man himself, on a secondary
or derivative plane. 1t consists not
in creation but in rearranging and
furnishing that which is already
acknowledged. The moral proph-
ct, however, is an innovator, pro-
claiming a hitherto unsuspected
verify. BY this definition, Jesus,
whatever else he may have been,
was no prophet. AS was admitted,
indeed, by julius Wellhausen,
well-known Christian Bible au-
thority, when he said: "Jesus was
not a Christian; he was a Jew.
He did not preach a new faith
A Messiah? No!
He would seem to have claimed
to be the Messiah foretold by the
prophets as the Inauguration of
Gods Kingdom on earth. The con-
dition of the world since his ad-
vent has never impressed Jews as

Veterans In School
Given Paw Boost

Last Saturday, President Truman
signed into law measure to boost
the governments living allowances
to veterans in school to a maximum
of $120 a month.
This will affect many students
from Noble county, who are now at
tending college, under the CT Bill
of Rights. The new higher scale of
subsistence payments goes into eff
feet April l.
Veterans getting on-the-job train
ing are not included in the extra al
lOWances. Neither are farm trainees,
interns or part-time students, the
veterans agency said.
The measure raises monthly
checks from $65 to SIS for single
veterans; from 800 to $105 for those
with one dependent and from $50 to
$120 for those with two or more de-
pendents.
The veterans administration said
it will not be necessary for single
veterans or those with one depend
ent to make any application. The
bigger checks will come automatic
ally.
But veterans with more than one
dependent must file new papers be-
cause the old scale made no provi-
sion for more than one dependent.
