increase in exports.
Administration officials are cheered, |
but still concerned as they look at the
farm picture. Drought is hurting in
many areas; the cost-price squeeze re-
mains tight, especially on young oper-
atorS, and there are the usual election
year fears that harvest season declines
in price will lose votes for the party in
power.
WEED CONTROL
Soil bank regulations require
farmers to control noxiOuS weeds
on land placed in the acreage re-
serve. Does that mean that you
must eradicate weeds, for instance,
even though the cost may be pro-
hibitive?
The answer is, no, we are told by
officials. The idea is to keep the soil
bank from becoming a vehicle for
spreading weeds. For example, said
one soil bank official, let's say that
man puts 10 acres of corn land into the
acreage reserve and lets it lie idle:
eve just don't want him to let weeds
grow to seed there and threaten neigh
boring farms"
Just what will be required in the way
of weed control by individual farmers
will be decided by county committees.
The state ASC committee is to deter
mine which are noxious weeds within
the state.
''The producer shall, without reim-
burSement under the agreement"
USDA has instructed county offices,
''take such steps as may be prescribed
by the county committee to prevent
the acreage reserve from becoming a
source of spreading noxious weeds des-
ignated by the state committee"

case of turkeys, farm leaders be-

would be purchased. Actually, most
buying is likely to be of birds in the
1922 pound range. These are the sizes
too big for most housewives and often
too small for institutional users.
Number of turkeys to be bought has
not been publicized, but the department
is thinking in terms of spending $1I
million to SIS million. That should be
enough, economists think, to have {

The National Chairman said
he regretted that the Demo-

appointment Of the body was an

been so interpreted.

But while men slept, his en-
envy came and sowed tares among
the wheat and went his way" st.
Matt. 1925. This was the text
used by Rev. Seminole Mckee in
his message Sunday morning.
January /.
Using as his subject, "Awaketh
Thou o Sleeper" he brought out
that there are tares in the church
among the wheat. The devil gets
in and causes the sincere Christ
ian TO become slack, The enemy,
the devil, is the one who sows
the tares.
Mrs. Harris rendered the music
and the congregation poined in

worshipped with us. He sang a
beautiful solo which we all en-
joyed. He has promised to return
to Friendship again in the near
future.
Our BTU was well attended. a
wonderful picture was shown, en-
titled, The Promise" which was
very interesting.
At the evening service, the Gilt
tering Star brought two beautiful
numbers. The male chorus of
Friendship sang morning and eve
ming and the spirit was manifest
and we had glorious time in the
Lord. John Rivers rendered a
spiritual solo. also Mrs. Buckhal-
ton gave a number.
Rev. Harris brought an inspir-
ing message proceeding the ad-
ministering of the Lords Supper.
His text was taken from Psalms
ll6;l2. What shall l render unto
the Lord for all His benefits to
me ?" Rev Harris emphasized that
God had been very gracious to us
in the year 1855. The question
asked II What did we render TO
