Extension Leaders Discuss
Farm Business Outlook

Extension service representatives
met in Frederick last Thursday to
discuss the farm business and
family living situation, and pros
poets for agricultural sections of
the state in 1854. Attending from
this county were John H. Carter,
county agricultural agent; and
James McHenry, assistant county
agent.
Concensus of the various extern
sion leaders was that the squeeze
between cost Of production and
prices received for products which
plagued farmers during 1858 would
continue throughout 1854. Large
farm supplies coupled with de
creasing demand offer little hope
for a rise in prices at the farm
level during the coming year.

Joseph Proved His
Love for Mary,
Mother of Jesus

Joseph, the bible relates, had to
prove his faith in and love for
Mary before they were married
1t is one of the great love stories
of all times.
When Joseph thought of Mary,
he forgot the difference in their
ages: she was the girl he had
waited for, his beloved They were
espoused-or, as we would say, en-
gaged-Which was almost as Of
fetal as being married. His heart
scared on wings of the approach
ing wedding day. and then
What Mary insisted had come to
pass. simply could not be! Joseph
wanted desperately to believe
Mary. but such things just didn't
happen, and if they did they hap
pened to somebody else.
Much as he loved Mary, Joseph
was a righteous and God-fearing
man and While he couldn't even
think of making her a public eX-
ample, he had Just about made up
his mind to put her away privily.
That is, he thought he had made
up his mind. In his heart, he knew
he couldn't: what would become
of her of her child
Then one night, after he had ex-
hausted himself with tortured
thinking. he fell asleep and the
angel of the Lord appeared to him
in a dream: saying.
"Josebb, tbon son Of Dapid,
fear not ="
And wben Joseph auoke. be
did as The angel bad hidden bin,
and took Mary as bis Iatrtl and
cherished wife.
Fear not. the angel spoke un-
to Joseph.
Fear not" the angel had de-
clared unto Mary.
Fear not the angel spoke un-
the shepherds of Bethlehem.
