GOSPEL TALKS
by Rev. r. G. Valentine
THE GOSPEL FOR TO-DAY

For | am not ashamed OF the Cos
pei of Christ: for it is the power
of God unto salvation to everyone
that believeth Romans lie.
The world in which we live is a
very different world from the one
Of fathers. The last fifty years
have witnessed greater changes
than have ever been known on this
earth. Scientific knowledge has in
creased and mechanical genius has
produced an amazing civilization.
But human nature remains the
same and mans essential needs are
unchanged.
Because people are still people,
they still need the gospel of Jesus
Christ. The need of sinners-and
"all have sinned and come short of
the glory of Gods good news'
concerning salvation. Men need to
know how they a be delivered
from the power and dominion of
sin. They need to know how the
fundamental and unchanging sinful
human nature can be given Divine
power and lifted above sin and
misery.
This is the message of the Cos
pei of Christ. 1t is the message of
hope for lost sinners. 1t is the story
of a Savior's love. 1t is the account
of God seeking to save mankind.
1t is "the power of God unto saliva
ton" 1t is the message that meets
mans CRYING need today even as it
has in past days.
The hand that accepts the gift of
salvation from God is the hand of
faith. The gospel of Christ is the
power of God unto salvation to
everyone that believeth. Faith links
man to God and brings Gods saw
ing power to man. Do you have
faith in Jesus Christ? Have you
found in Him the answer to life's
questions and deliverance from sins
dominion?

that party aimed specifically at qua
ranteeing the rights and privileges
of all minority groups of the nation.
The Democratic Party can not
and will not try to live up to that
high aim; can not because of the
conflicting interest of the different
groups within the party; will not
attempt to live up to the platform
because they know no amount of
federal statutes can override the
concensus of the people of so large
an area as the states rights block.
Any attempt to change our customs
and folkways by law will be a
death warrant to hundreds of mis-
guided youths throughout the South.

We have lost the battle of the
convention but the battle of the
special Congress has not yet begun.
W. have ample power in the Senate
and many veteran states Fighters in
the House. We should rally, all
forces for immediate action there.
While that battle is raging we should
organize the South as solidly as
possible behind a l%ong-range pro-
gram which would accomplish our
purpose. 1t is possible to devise a
program which will appear sweet
in the mouth of our enemies and bit
ter in their bellies. Let us be subtle.
Let us devise such a plan and fol-

CONSERVATION NOTES
BY "a. p. Carroll

Every farmer who has cattle
should plant winter grazing crops.
Oats, well fortified, is one of the
best crops to plant. To plant these
crops right, the land should be pre-
pared now. Some farmers in the
county made a net profit last year
of $50 to 500 per acre on winter
grazing.
B. E. Presley and B. II. Maxwell
of Pickens are preparing their land.
w. j. Waits and Sam d. Hall of
Goodman also are preparing land.
Mr. Maxwell states he has obtained
more and better grazing in the past
when he applies plenty of phos-
phate and nitrogen to the oats.
For best results 500 to 800 pounds
of 20% phosphate should be applied
per acre. or 800 to 400 pounds of
45% phosphate. If basic Stag is APP
piled, use 1000 to 1900 pounds per
acre. The fertilizer should be disk
ed in and the land broken four to
six inches deep. Also 40 to go
pounds of pure nitrogen should be
applied per acre. II nitrate soda is
used, apply 800 to 400 pounds per
acre. II double strength is used APP
ply $50 to 200 pounds per acre. The
nitrogen may be applied at the
time Of planting or used as top
dressing soon after the oats come
up.
Ambiguous ammonia has proven
to be as good as any of the nitro
gems when properly applied and is
much cheaper. If it is used it should
be applied a few days before the
oats are planted. T. E. Murtagh of
Ebenezer is equipped to apply the
anhydrous and viii apply it for the
public. 1t is important to have the
land well broken and pulverized
when using this kind Of nitrogen.
From three to five bushels of oats
should be planted per acre. If the
oats are not to be harvested, a win
ter legume should be seeded with
the oats. Wild winter peas and Grim
son clover have given good grazing,
seeded with oats. Seed is to Is
pounds of peas and 10 to Is pounds
OF crimson clover per acre.
1t will cost around SIS to proper
iy fertilize and seed an acre of win
ter grazing. However, it is a good
investment when you can get a net
return OF $50 to 500 per acre.
IL it is impossible to get the pro-

Dear Editor:

| OtdA GQltOl.
| wish to express my appraisal
of the current political situation
The battle is over; we had a good
fight; the show was grand; a good
time was had by all; our loud
mouthed politicians succeeded again
in making the South, and particular
ly Mississippi, the personification of
race hatred and human exploitation,
in the eyes of a large part of the
people of the nation. It is a false
position; il is not true and we know
it. We know there is more race har-
mony, understanding and sympathy
in Mississippi than in any of the
states boisterously proclaiming the
virtues of the civil rights program.
But the false impression was firmly
implanted in the minds of two thirds
Of the delegates of the Democratic
National Convention who voted "a
gainst the states rights plank in the
platform. We may be sure that the
less thoughtful radio listeners out
side the South get the same false
impression.
Let us not dwell on the unfortu-
nate sideline effect Of our battle for
states rights. Our leaders did the
best they could without an overall
master leader Of national reputation.
That the race issue is one phase of
states rights we can not help; that
enemies of states rights chose to
use the terms anonymously is, in
deed, unfortunate. But the fact re-
mains that we did not win. We had
a fair fight; we registered our OPP
position; We came away an outraged
minority. But why act like a small
child? We may as well be demo-
cratic Democrats and stay in the
party to enjoy such blessings as we
are able to get from the party, and
try to live down the paradox predica-
ment we find ourselves in. The posi-
ton of being a minority group of a
majority party fighting a policy of
per amount of fertilizer mentioned
above, less can be used and still
have good grazing. However, it is
very important not to use less than
$50 pounds of 20% phosphate, or
its equivalent, and 80 pounds of
pure nitrogen per acre.
