Siaieside Campaign Underway in Sales For Methodist College

One of the greatest promotion al and educational campaigns in Alaska's history is starting now throughout the United States.
 Colored illustrated brochures will reach close to 10,000,000 peo- ole across the nation with the story of Alaska and the need for the Alaska Methodist College.
 The figures on distribution came from Dr. F. Gordon Gould of the National Board of Missions of the Methodist Church on his recent visit to Anchorage. Dr. Gould. born in Alaska, dreamed and brought into action the ideal of a liberal arts, four-year, fully accredited nondemoninational col lege located in the population center of the Territory.
 Fifty thousand copies of a 34- page magazine type brochure are being distributed to all bishops, district superintendents and pas tors of Stateside Methodist Chur- ches. The blue and gold cover has the map and flag of Alaska super imposed on the Western hemas- phere. The cover carries the slo- gan: 'The Methodist Church Builds Today for Tomorrow in Alaska, with a sketch of ardent young students looking toward Alaska's promise.
 Inside pages have scenic photos and charts. There are briefs on agriculture, fishing, hy- ,droelectric power, forests, furs, minerals, oil, transportation, and the increasing need for institu- tions of higher education for the pupils crowding the schools to- day.

A conservation farm plan is a plan which assists farmer in his farming operations. The con- servation farm plan is worked out between the farmer and the soil conservationist.
 The basis for conservation farming is the land capability map. This map shows the depth and type of soil, slope, permabil- ity, erosion, and other influencing capability of piece of land. The factors which go to make up the capabiIty of the land shows what each type of land is best suited whether for crops, hay, pas ture, woods or wildlife. The map also tells how much protection from erosion each piece of land needs. Best land for clearing can be determined from the land cap ability map.
 Along with the map the con servation farm plan includes a write-up in plain, clear language as to how the land should best be used and the necessary con- servation practices needed on the land to keep production up and to protect the land from erosion.
 Conservation practices such as crop rotations, strip cropping, crop residue utilization, seeding of permanent grasses and legu- mes, pasture management, irriga- ton, windbreaks, seedbed prepar- ation, stock ponds, etc. are includ- ed and explained in the plan for the farmer when applicable.
 The conservation farm plan is your plan and should serve as a guide for farming operations for
The frontiersman., 1955-11-03

many years; however, it is always ready to be corrected as changes in farming operations are made.
 When you make plans about how to conserve your land for the future while increasing it's production now, you are doing conservation farm planning. Your local soil conservation sub district has the assistance of the Soil Conservation Service to help you develop a conservation farm plan. Contact your local Soil Con- Servation Service office anytime you feel you need assistance in developing your farm on a con Servation basis.

Rest

Rest
Are you able to rest well when
you've done something wrong? Can
you sleep like baby when some
thing is troubling your conscience?
I'm thinking of such people as
Jonah in the Bible. He had re-
belled against God. He had re-
fused absolutely to do what God
had asked him to do. Yet, Jonah
could sleep. In fact. the Scrip
lures note that when he lay down
he went fast asleep. He slept like a
baby
1t must have been that Jonah was
past feeling. Sin worked like a
drug on him. 1t Supplied him,
There are people like that. The
more they sin, the less they care
They can commit wrong and then
lie down in undisturbed rest as
though they had just come in from
a healthy walk in the paths Of
righteousness.
But this IS not happiness, 1t is
droWsiness. This is not comfort 1t
is wretchcdness. This is not sleep.
1t is death.
If you are sleeping the sweet
sleep of peace when something is
troubling your conscience you'd do
better to wake yourself up. For
surely this is an indication that you
need the peace to be found in the
Lord No other can compare to
that There is no rest, no comfort,
