So Jesus had compassion on
them, and touched their eyes: and
Immediately their eyes received /
sight, and they followed Him.
-(Matthew 20, Sk.l
So filled completely with Gods,
grace, so perfect in his belief and
faith, so pure in his life and mo-
tives, Christ Jesus performed
miracles through the power Of Df- !
vine love. Each of US today, In the
measure that we strive for the per-
fection that Jesus attained, may
know within ourselves the miracles
possible through Gods love.

essary to buy some.
Tomatoes (about II acres this
year) and sugar heets are raised as
the farms ''cash" crops, and in 1912
Bixel had the highest beet yield per
acre in the Findlay district.
Mexican labor is brought here to
help with the blocking and thinning
of sugar beets and also in harvesting
the tomato crop. If you've ever won
dered how much a good picker can
make in the tomato field, Mr.. Bixel
says it is not uncommon for Mexi-
can to earn $14 to s18 day.
The Bixel steers. are shipped here
from the south and west and fattened
on silage and crushed ear corn with
supplement, and fed heavily through
the day on chopped hay. In order to
farm both places and do it efficiently,
Stanley is firm believer that far
mer must keep up with the latest in
equipment. During the last two years
he has acquired a new diesel tractor
and forage harvester.
If young farmer starting in the
business were to ask Mr.. Bixel for
advice, he would suggest that it is
better in the long run to stay with
the same type operation through good
years and lean ones. Don't try to
guess the market and pick only the
winners, he advises, and don't be
afraid of work.. 1t never hurt any
one.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Bixel are life
long members of the Ebenezer Men
MONTE church, and are members of
the Farm Bureau attending the
monthly council meetings regularly.
In addition to their son, julius, al
ready mentioned, there are two other
boys, Robert Neil, Flint, Mich, and
Dwight Dallas at home, three
daughters, Mrs. Paul Spallinger of
near Beaverdam, Gladyce, who is en-
ployed at the Triplett Electrical In
strument Co., and Geneva, student
at Pandora-Gilboa high school. There
are seven grandchildren.

Raising Farm Seeds, Beef
Stan BixeL' S Specidlties

Located on the College road Just a
couple miles north of town, the trim
red and white buildings of the Stan
ley Bixel farm were easily identified
last week by score of News readers
in the Mystery" Farm contest.
To the Bixels, themselves, their
farm is known as 'tSunnyfielda, but
they have never painted the name on
the 69-year-old barn. @Sunnyfeld,' =
reflects Mrs. Bixel, that is what yse
need most in farming. That's why
we named it So"
Married December 2, 1925, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bixel farmed for 25 years on
shares before they became owners of
their farm, but now they own not on
ly the 110-acre home farm, but
another 180-acre farm near Beaver
dam which is operated by son, Jul
ius James.
The College road farm was owned
before them by Mrs. Bixel's parents,
the Menno Burkholders. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bixel moved on the farm in
1929.
Although the late Dorsey Amstutz
has told Stanley that he helped build
the present barn and residence in
1885, both have seen many improve
ments since then. The silo was built
in 1862 and the same year a concrete
floor was poured in the covered barn
yard. A new hog house and corn crib
was erected last year and the house
was remodeled with the installation
of an oil furnace and complete kitch-
en- modernization.
Mr.. Bixel has specialized in grow
ing certified seeds including corn,
wheat, oats and soybeans, and ever
since he has gone to farming has
preferred feeding Hereford n d
Shorthorn steers although he has
some other livestock. He milks only
enough for the family needs and sells
a little cream.
1t requires all of the feed ne can
produce on both farms to keep his
livestock, and occasionally it is nee
