Posture Improvement
In Holmes Morked
by Earl Lundy

Thanks to the much needed
rains short dry pastures are again
providing an abundance of lush
grazing. However, we should not
sit back and expect the pastures
to provide plenty of high quality
grazing without the proper man.
agement. Those same rains which
helped the grass and clover so
much, will cause obnoxious weeds
and bushes to spring up more
than ever. If these obnoxious
plants are not controlled by now
ing they will tend to crowd out
the better plants thereby reduc-
ing the quality and quantity of
forage in the pasture. Not only
does moving control weeds, but it
also keeps the grass and clover
tender and more palatable. Now,
ing also tends to keep a balance
between the grasses and clovers.
Rotational grazing, heavy graz
ing for a short period and then
moving cattle and resting the pas
lures is also a very good manage
ment practice.
Remember the dry pastures OF
a few weeks back? We could very
easily have a similar drought
again this summer. Don't be
caught short. Plant at least u
acre per head of millet or sudan
grass for temporary grazing. Plant
m adapted variety and use at
least 60 pounds Of available nj
trogen per acre. If this temporary
pasture is not needed for grazing
il will make excellent hay.
It's much better to have too
much pasture than to be caught
short.

Forestry Notes
H. r. RAUM. u. S. Forest Service

Because of recent requests for
information regarding the pro-
duction of good home-treated
fence posts, the following infor-
nation may be of value to many
woodland owners in Holmes
county; To eliminate the work
of peeling each post some farmers
prefer the bug -peeling method,
which is satisfactory if carried
out according to strict specifica-
tons.
/. Contact the nearest forester
and under his guidance mark
trees which should be cut. He will
recommend thinning out post or
pole-sized timber from the thick
cts, leaving the healthy, rapidly
growing, dominant trees to pro-
duce the more valuable product
Such thinning not only gives
many disable products but inn
proves the growth conditions Of
the woodlot.
2. After trees have been select
ed and marked, fell the entire
selection by cutting close to The
ground. The best time to utilize
"bug-peeling" is from the frs,
redbud blooming through dog
days. Ut is during this period
that the lower forms of animal
life on land and in the sea are
most active.)
3. Cut branches from trees -
close to the body.
4. Move trees in full length to {
convenient place near treating

II So, Then What? -

MOST Christians do not need even
IA as much argument as this to
make them believe in the worth OF
the Individual; they are sufficiently
convinced by the attitude of Jesus
himself. Nobody could think seri-
ously about Jesus treatment of
children, or his parallels about the
lost sheep and the lost son, with.
out coming to the same conclusion.
The key-question always II:
What is this action, this atti-
tu1, this plan, this arrange
A.nt, this institution, this sys-
tem,-what is this doing to per-
sons?
Persons are more important than
anything else in the world. This by
no means goes without saying. For
the world Of our time Is riddled and
raddled With other and contrary
Ideas: ~ for instance that man is
only an animal, or that he II simply
the highest Of the animals, or thss
q mans value comes from ms fam
lily. or his race, or his bank account.
Against all these mistaken views
the Christian must stand, firmly
knowing that he, no more than
others but no less, S made m God 8
image and an object Of Gods love:
and so in himself, small though his
place may be. not only has a value
that can never be described in dol.
lars. but Is worth more than the
human race can ever own.
