AINSWORTH'S TASK
Bishop Ainsworth i« a power in the
ranks of the Methodist church in this
section of the south., We shall miss
him when he goes to the new field
in China and Japan. It must have
been his wish that the change be
made and that he be given an oppor
tunity to know more of the missjon
of the great christian church to which
he belengs. |
We hope that his four years in for
eign fields will be fruitful for hlm-;
will give him a larger view of the
cause he represents. In the long fight
over unification he never impressed
us as understanding the mission he
has—that his church has. We thought
that same thing of Bishop Cnndler.i
Both of these great church leaders
might at once consider us presump
tuous to give expression to such
thought, but it-comes out neverthe
less—keeps on bubbling over.
At least Bishop Ainsworth is going
now to find just what are the larger
world needs of the christian cause in
‘to which he has thrown his life. Or
dinarily we have a right to expect
many years of useful service of him,
His four years beyond the confines
of the south are going to change those
views he has helq so long. He is go
ing to come back withh a changed
front. He may not admit it all, but
he isn’t going to that four years of
labor in the foreign fields and come
home in the same convictions with re
gard to the larger usefulness of his
church. It will never be possible.
Some day unification will win—it
will win because the christian church
will have to unite to carry its mes
sage. And men ag large and earnest
Tin the christian cause as Bishop Ains
worth are going to herald that
thought to all the churches back here
in this richly blessed land of oppor
tunity for the christian cause. That's
a movement too significant te die.
The world must be won for christian
ity ang these church elements which
have been fighting each other here
are going to bring about a solidarity
of effort when they see more clearly
their duty.
The protestant church has a rlght‘
£0 - expact- meve- of the weuthern de
nominations than it should expect
from other sections of this country.
America presénts no purer example
of protestantism than that in the
south., The geniug of this great gov
ernment is the protestant religion.
The world is patterning in govern
ment after this country. This coun
try has its great bulwark in the south
ern protestant church, and hence it
must lead.
'When we have a world outlook—the
world as our mission-—the world will
turn in sympathy and appeal to us
for religious help. And when the
southern church has taught itself that
christianity under every flag, in ev
ery corner of the earth, is still the
christian cause, then it will not halt
or pause to strip itself of the strength
of the power, of the whole church in
this country.
Unification—let's wait and see
what Bishop Ainsworth will have to
say about it four years from now.
A FEED CROP EXAMPLE °
fThig is a story about hay, but it is
80 unusual that we must not miss it
County Agent J. K. Luck is keeping
check on a twoacre field on the lit
tle farm of Mr. H. M. Goin beyond
the home of Mr. Ed Kiker on Col
lege Hill. Today thera are nine sticks
of oat and Canadian pea vine hay al
ready gathered, cured and saved.
Each of these stacks has in the neigh
borhood of half a ton of hay in it—
choice hay, worth around $256 a tomn.
‘Mr, Goin now has seasons for an
other crop and he will immediately
sow down soy beans. From the sec
ond crop he will expect at least a ton
to the acre. He will have that if fair
seasons attend. The soy beans are
worth another $26 per ton in fair
grade hay. The yield is going all
anound three tons per acre in this
yvear's yield, but the claim will run
two tons per acre for safe estimates.
Already more than halt the corp is
made and saved.
When the lands are free again,
County Agent Luck says they will be
in fifty percent better condition for
the crop of next season than they
were this year at the ktart. Not a
pound of fertilizer has been used so
far, and none will be used. The peas
and beans are a nitrogenproducing
food crops of the very best kind and
when the heavy returns in food crops
are off, there will still be better lands
for next year's uses to other crops
of any kind. It Is said that these
acres will promise forty bushels of
corn to the acre next year without
any more fertilizer—and under nor
mal conditions will produce that.
This is farming—not in the old way
~but farming. When food crops are
that easy in this section, is there any
excuse for importing feed for the
stock? Is there any reason why we
should not have all the feed we need
and more, and still have all the acres
we desire for peanuts, cotton, and gll
the other staple cash crops? '
And there are still more things we
might learn about farming. ‘
VON BERNSTORFF AND WAR
Bernstorff, who was Germany’s rex?-j
resentative in this country at the tlmet
the world war broke on ug in all its
fury, is now one of Germany's repre-‘
gentatives engaged in the business of
preparing a program for the lnt.emg-‘

war machine over which no force
could come. And modern warfare,
80 far as Burope was concerned,
didn't do much with Germany till
American invention put the tank, the
great field artillery and the airplane
and sure enough poison gas into the
hands of courageous and heroic young
men on the battle line from this coun
try. They used them with such terri
ble effect on Germany, that we can
have no surprise in the appeal of
Von Bernstorff to outlaw such war
fare. .
But if we go to war in the future
and all the means of warefare are
outlawed, how are we going to wage
the next war? Poor Bernstorff
doetin’t geem to. realize that all the
rights of peaceful nations and civiliz
ed peoples are first outlawed before
a gun belches forth its destruction in
battle. 1t might be unkind to this
poor fellow to remind him that Ger
many broke all laws when its war
lords set out to put the world under
the heel of the conqueror.
There is consolation in the fact that
he wants to*disarm, because disarm
ed nations might have timeé first to
idettle their differences first through
peaceful methods befdre they found
war equipment to do much harm. It
is good business to argue for dis-!
armament—much - safer for civiliza-‘;
tion, even though Vion Bernstorff does%
reveal in his pleas for (lisarmamenfl
that the Germans still remember
from what source came their undoing
in the worst war the world hag ever
known. 3 |
The world needs disarmament—
needs it finst to give the debtor na
tions time to pay the war accounts.;

FIRST, he buys a tidy red tin or a toppy
red bag of Prince Albert. Then he takes
out his makin’s papers and rolls the finest
little cigarette he ever did rolll And
then he lights up and gets the biggest
thrill a roll-your-owner ever had.
A cigarette made with P. A, rolls
easier. Because, P. A. is crimp-cut and
stays put. Doesn’t butterfly all over the
place if you happen to breathe on it. It
burns better for the same reason. And
—how cool it smokes! Cool and sweet
and fragrant! »
It needs its world court that differ
ences hetween nations may be taken'

these things because world peace in
this age i§ more than a mere dream,
It can be realized, It needs all this
because nations in war will use the!
most morlitrous engines of death thatl
can be devised. When they have .gone
to war, thgy have already broken all
law. * Men who talk about outlawing
this or that method of warfare for

the aims of men should be.to stop
war. Then the methods of warfare
will hold no place in the councils of

“A FOE WITHOUT HATE”
Raleigh News and Observer:
In the best tribute ever paid to
Robert E. Lee, the eloquent Ben Hill
said “he was a foe without ' hate.’
Isn't it a thousand pities that the
president of a woman’s Grand Army|
organization did not possess the
freedom from hate and vengefulness
possessed by Lee? It is bad enough
for a man to canker his soul with
hate. It is a tragedy for a woman to
be so dominated as to say Lee was
guilty of dishonor,. disloyalty and
treason.
Such bitterness could not hurt Lee
when he lived and it hurts only
those embittered by it now that he ig
dead. Washington and Lee will stand
forever as “sun-crowned men” im
pervious to detraction, l
LET’S GET HALF OUR FOOD
FROM ONE ACRE
The Progressive Farmer:
If we appraise the home garden at
its actual worth, we shall find that
an acre of good land well cared for
will supply our tables with just about
one half the food the family con
sumes, and this food will cost far
less the other food served. Further
more, when we have plenty of fresh}
or canned or dried food, it gives us a
more wholesome diet and we con
sume Jless of other foods which cost
more., This means the garden is a
money-saving, and health-promoting
department of the farm, three in‘
one.
There is an old story of a negro‘
THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1926 ™
who met another and asked, “Is yer
gwine to have a garden this year?”
“Yas, sah, I sho’ is—il my wife's
back gits better,” was the answer;
and some of our white farmers also
act on the theory that the right ans
wer was given in the following dia
logue: ; i
Question: “What is the right size
for a garden? - 1
Answer: “All that your wife can
cultivate.” " '
Let it be said in the outset, there
fore, that none of us are going to
“get half a living from one acre” if
we leave the wife to do all :the
garden work. Nor are we going to do
so if we just get “garden fewer”’
about apple-blooming time and. 'get
over it the next month.
The trouble with most of us: is
‘that we' do not' have MYotinite
garden program. We are too spas
modic in our garden operations.
When the sun is bright nd the air
warm in early spring, we rush into
the garden and do a lot of really
worthwhile work. Then we mas not
return to the garden until a hard
fight is required to subdue the weeds
and until insects have,grown fat and
multiplied into countless numhes and
diseases are beyond cantrol.. That
~way will not give us suceess. . .
