Methods of Handling Farm
Woodlots was the topic of DEM
onstration given by the Soil Con-
servation Service last Wednesday
70 the Harrington farm veterans
and high school vocational agri-
culture classes. The demonstTa-
ton was arranged BY Wilmer F..
Aist, S. G. S. conservationist, and
was presented by w. Hutchinson,
S. G. S. Forester.
Thirty people were present at
the woods on the Taylor farm west
OF Harrington. Mr. Hutchinson
pointed out that orr farmers
should become interested more in
lobiolly pine stands due to rapid
growth and good demand as a rule
for pulpwood and other soft-wOod
products. Hardwoods, such as the
oaks and gums, are too slow in
growth-and the market for these
has not been as good as for the
mines. He felt that yellow poplar
was one Of the better hardwoods t0
grow If farmer was net inter
ested in pines. He noted that far
mers participating in the soil con
servation program can obtain al
necessary information for estab,
fishing woodlot areas, or for mar
keting to best advantage the timber
in stand.
Mr.. Hutchinson and Mr.. Ais
demonstrated the use Of the Doyle
and International log rules for es
tinating the board feet Of lumber
in trees and logs. They described
how new seedlings should be Sc
out, and how old stands can b.
maintained and harvested ever,
few years.
One tree, pine, measured 2
inches in diemeter at breast heigh
and Sc feet high as far as usabl
timber was concerned BY the In
ternational Log Rule it figured ou
as containing $40 board feet an
was estimated as being wort
about $3.50 at the going price {
$500 per 1000 board feet at tn
present time.
Mr.. Hutchinson gave some ger
eral rules for handling farm wooC

Jews" and crucified by Roman
soldiers on a Roman cross, a
method of punishment forbidden
to Jews.
Teaching of this story in Pro-
testant schools is, now generally
pursuing the following lines:
Some of the entrenched religious
leaders of Jesus day were jeal-
Gus of his popularity with the
multitudes and opposed him be-
cause they feared he might upset
their favored position of power
and profits. Other prophets of
the Jews and leaders of other
peoples have been treated SIM
ilarly by those who sought to
maintain the "status quo"
DR.. Robert w. Searle, Secre-
.tary of the Greater New York
Federation of Churches, wrote
recently, Jesus was crucified
because his life and law were
a threat to selfishness - to the
selfishness of the Sadducees who
jealousy guarded their compro-
mise between religious formality
and selfish worldly life to the
SelfishneSs Of the Roman who
would tolerate no rival to their
power, to the selfishneSs of every
one who wanted to save his own
skin, his own ease, his own con-
venience."

crucifixion, great crowds had
welcomed Jesus with "Hosan-

that only about half the children
OF this nation consistently attend
religious schools, and that no
study has ever shown more an
ti-Semitism in them than in those
who do not attend religious
schools.
Summarize Crucifirion Story
What are some of the ideas
now dominant in the treatment
OF the crucifixion story? The per-
tinent facts are contained in the
New Testament. Jesus was
brought to trial by "all the chief
priests and the elders and the
scribes." MARK 14:53). He was
accused of blashemy and was
condemned as liable to DEATH"
He was delivered to PLATE who
asked Jesus if he were "King
of the Jews" Jesus answered,
"Thou sayest." ("You say soy
Plate offered to release him but
the crowd, Stirred up by the
chief priests" and assuming re-
sponsibility for themselves and
their children cells blood be on
us and our children"), demanded
that he be crucified. Jesus was
then CARRIED as king of the
