In the Church

The Church is called in the New
Testament the body of Christ
In a very real way, that is true,
One contemporary theologian has
put this in startling way. He says
that Christ and the church are the
complete Christ. just as man and
his body together are the com
plete man This may be putting it
too strongly But no thoughtful
Christian will deny that without
the church, without some church.
Christ would be bodiless in this
earth. Without the church he would
be a 'houseless wrath Of deity"
but with the church he has eyes.
ears, hands and feet This is not
to say that any church is perfect;
in the best of churches Christ
walks lame and speaks in a muir
muir often hard to understand Just
as any musician would be hamp-
cred by broken arm, so Christ is
hampered by broken and Self-seek-
ing churches. Yet taking it all in
all. Christ does live and speak and
work through his church today
He is there in the sacraments.
there in the message of truth and
grace, there in the life and serv-
ice Of every church that ministers
to men in his name.

The tax rate in Prince Edward County
has kept pace with increased costs over the
years, and is almost directly in proportion
to the devaluation Of the dollar
Taking the 1886 dollar as 100 cents in
value and the 1858 dollar as sos cents the
tax rate is about in line. Increases have
been made as follows:
1886 1910 1947 1948 1851 1852 1854
$1.55 $1.70 S1.90 $22o*S2.40 $3.50 S31ox
*Reassessment made effective in 1913
xProposed rate for 1854
he 1948 countrywide appraisal was bas-
ed on values of 1910, and an assessment of
40 per cent of the appraisal was used Dur
ing 1854, the appraisal now in progress,
will be based on a fair market value as
OF today. When these appraisaIs have been
completed the assessment and rate will be
fixed by the Board of Supervisors 1t is
reasonable to expect the appraisals on the
fair market value of 1854 will far exceed
the values as of 1910 used in the apprasas
made in 1913. Therefore, to produce the
same revenue the assessment proportion
must be lower than 40 per cent, or the tax
rate reduced. Regardless Of the method,
it is obvious that an additional sum Of ap-
proximately $4,000 will be needed to oper-
ate the county during the next few years.
The only alternative is to reduce the cx-
penses Of operation and reduction Of any
size would have to be found in the school
operational cost. Faced with an increase
in school population during the coming
years, it is probable that increases will be
in demand here rather than reductions.
The school board might restudy the curri-
culum with view to reducing expenses
by eliminating extraneous subjects, if there
be any.

Check Herds Now
For Gull Cow Sales

Virginia dairymen are being
advised to send their Gull cows to
market in June and July. r. G.
Connolly, dairy husbandman at
VPI says. Gull dairy cows should
sell to best advantage in June
and July. or possibly up to mid
August when a market run on
beef cattle. especially old nurse
cows. is expected.
Beef cows usually sell better
than heifers during the summer
The further fact that Virginia
beef producers are trying to build
up herds of younger, more eff
cient brood COWS by getting rid
of less desirable old cows in the
fall should be an added incentive
for dairy farmers to sell culls De-
fore the expected fall run Of beef
cattle develops.
Connolly says it viii pay any
dairyman to study all market out
lets for his Gull cattle. Certainly
he should plan to feed" his Gull
cows into the market gradually
to prevent a glut. In some local.
ties, several dairymen may pool
their Gull cows to make truck
loads for shipment to distant,
more favorable markets.
4 An analysis of the 1853 Virginia
Dairy Herd Improvement Associa-
ton records at VPI showed that
cows in commercial dairy herds
had to produce 5000 pounds of
milk per year 1.9 gallons per
day IN order to break even in
paying all production costs In
making herd adjustments, no one
can merely look at herd and be
sure which and when certain cows
should be weeded out. Any dairy
man who has kept monthly pro-
duction and cost records on his
cows is able to practice safe and
intelligent herd culling.
