At lunch with Bishop Arthur J. •
Moore a few days ago, the subject
of evangelism in these pre-Easter j
days came up. Bishop Moore told >
this story:
While pastor of the First Meth- (
odist Church, Birmingham, a maid-'
en school teacher came to me and
said that she was gping to do her
best to win some lost soul to the
Saviour.
She spent the afternoons, after;
school hours, visiting lost people, I
urging them to consider the call to
salvation —to repentance and faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I heard how she was going from
one to another, quietly speaking to
them about this vital matter. I
prayed that she might be blessed j
in winning one soul to the Saviour.;
Came the day of our pre-Easter ]
meeting, and this lady brought. 391
adults to my study, asking me tto
hear their statement that they had
repented of their sins, and were
ready to make public their pro
fession of faith in Jesus Christ.
Listening tto that story by Bish
op Moore, I thought of the woman
of Sychar who went back to her
village to tell the people what Je
sus had done for her, and how the
whole village came to Jacob’s well
to see and hear the Saviour.
And I thought of Andrew, going
and finding his brother, Simon,
and bringing him to Jesus.
Then the thought, Why do we
not win more dost people to the
Saviour?
You will agree wwith the ready
answers—too busy, to timid, etc.
etc.
But such excuses will not stand.
None of us, in our better moments
would say that they should stand.
We have cherished neighbors, all
about us, who have given no evi
dence of having accepted the Sav
iour. Why do we pass them by?
If they were in need of physical
help, we would be at their side.
Their need of the Saviour is ten
times more real than any physical
need.
And still we allow the passing
tasks of everyday life to excuse us
from this primary responsibility of
winning the lost to the Saviour.
Let us be encouraged by the
story Bishop Moore tells of the
Birmingham teacher, and devote
ourselves with unceasing energy in
these important days at hand and
ahead.
ASC NEWS
Purchase orders are being issued
for fertilizer, lime and seeds at the
Forsyth County ASC Committee
Office for farmers who have sign
ed an intention sheet to carry out
a practice during 1955. All seeds
furnished on purchase order will
have to have a purity and germi
nation teest on file from the ven
dor who plans to fill the order.
Any farmer who has filed a re
quest for practice No. B-7 should
contact the County Health Depart
ment and request that the area
where the farm pond is to be built
be inspected. This is a necessity
in order for the Health Permit to
be issued when the farm pond is
completed.
All farmers are urged to read
the specifications that are enclosed
with their notice of apprroval and
in carrying out the practice refer
to ’ the specifications in order to
carry out the practice in a manner
where it will qualify.
Wheat measurement will be com
pleted during the week of March
21, and the number of farmers who
have planted in excess of their al
lotment is far more than in prev
ious years due to the extremely
small allotment Forsyth County re
ceived for 1955. The farmers have
15 days from the date the notice
is mailed to request a recheck but
it will hawe to be rechecked at
the farmers expense. If any farm
has more than 15 acres planted
they will be penalized if they do
not have more than 15 acres allot
ment.

Telephone Service
Almost Normal Here
At Cumming
Local and long distance telephone
service in Cumming is being pro
vided at almost normal levels ex
cept for peak periods during the
day, despite the fact that many
Southern Bell telephone employees
are still out on strike, according
to L. H. Collins Manager for Sou
thern Bell Telephone Company.
Mr. Collins also reported that
telephone service for Georgia and
the other eight states served by
Southern Bell continued good and
that nearly half of the company’s
employees are continuing to report
for dutyy with a slight increase
nearly yevery ,day.
Four-fifths of the normal long
distance business is being handled
over the South as a whole.
With 85 per cent of the com
pany’s telephone dial operated,
dial service remains unaffected.
Being dial operated local service
in Cumming has remained normal.
Mr. Collins said that he wished
to thank -the people of Cumming
for their ppatience and understand
Ing concerning the current diffi
culties in providing telephone ser
vice. He also stated he wished for
everyone to know that employees
still on the job are making every
sacrifice to give the fullest and
hest service possible.
“Negotiations are still going on
in Atlanta between company and
union representatives with the as
sistance to Federal Conciliators.”
Mr. Collins stated. We are hopeful
that agreement will be reached
soon. However, we must have as
surance in the contract that the
union will live up to its provisions
and agree to settle differences
peacefully without interruption of
telephone service while the con
tract is in force.

With y our County
Agent
Walter 11. Rucker
At a cotton production meeting
in Gainesville on the 16th of this
month the all important opic of j
cotton allotments was brought up
annd discussion was lively.
In accordance with the present j
formula used for issuing cotton |
acreages to the various counties,
the county’s history, or the amount j
of cotton planted in the county!
during the past few years deter- j
mines the number of acres of cot-|
ton that a county will be allowed I
to plant.
History is a most Important fac
tor. Each acre of allotment issued
to a producer that is not planted
is not only lost to that producer
but it is lost to the county and
state as well.
i
Forsyth County has a cotton al- j
lotment in 1954 of 4,289 acres. Pro*
ducers were asked to releaase all I
allotments or portions of allotment
that were not going to be used.
Even then, 1827 acres of cotton!
allotments in Forsyth County were
not planted. For 1955, Forsyth
County was ggiven'only 3,096 Acres
in cotton allotments.
Producers again this year have
the privilege of releasing those
allotments or portions of allotmehtt
that they are not going to plant.
Producers releasing their cotton al
lotments will still retain their cot
ton allotment history yfor their
farm if they plant some cotton at
least one out of every three years.
A producer does not retain that
history for his farm if he neither
plants it nor releases it to the
County ASC committee.
Acreages released are reapporri
ioned tb other producers who have
requested either additional acreag
es fc new growers allotments. So
far, the requests for additional
acreages and new growers allot
ments far exceeds the acreages
released.
It is to the advantage of the
producer and his county -to make
sure that every acre allotted is
planted, whether he plants it him
self or releases it to enable his
neighbor to plant it.
April Ist is the deadline to re
lease your allotment to the County
ASC Committee. It is advisable
that each producer seriously con
sider and decide whether or not
he is going to plant all of his al
lotment for 1955.

Soil Conservation New*
Forsyth County
The last eight columns have
brought to you informaation on
the eight classes of land. As you
remember the first four classes of
land are those that can be row
cropped with degrees of destriction
The last four classes of land should
never be row-cropped. They can be
used to the best advantage in wood
land, pasture, hay and recreation.
How are you using the various
classes of land on your farm? If
you are not sure, check with your
local SCS technician. Those who
have a complete soil and water
conservation farm plan have a map
of the farm in the plan that shows
the different classes of land.
TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
It has come tto our attention
that people are fishing in the flood
prevention lake near Pleasant
Grove Methodist Church and other
flood prevention lakes.
Under Federal Regulations this
lake and the other lakes are not
open to the public for fishing at
this time. Those who have fished
in this lake or any of the flood
prevention lakes have violated such
Federal Regulations and are sub
ject to such penalities that cover
such violations.
If and when fishing is opened to
the public, permission will be grant j
ed by land owners of these lakes. I
For further information see
James T. Coots or John C. Cates
of the local Soil Conservation Ser
vice, Cumming, Georgia.
In producing a bale of cotton, the
plants on one acre will take up
325 pounds of plant food from the
soil.

Sharon Church Service*
By Kate Kay Harris
Go Ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every crea
ture Mark 16:15
We enjoyed a wonderful week of
services in our Study Course, last
week. Rev. Paul Carmichael, pastor
of Fair Oaks Church at Marietta
taught the course on “A Church
Revival," and I’m sure that all
who attended these services really
felt revived in the heart and soul.
Our total attendance was 75 of
which a great majority completed
the course and will receive credit.
We can now plainly see that the
greatest need for Churches the
world over Is a real CHURCH Re
vival which means those who are
already saved and belong to the
church. We need to get all mem
bers revived and interested in going
to church and serving Christ in
complete love and fellowship with
each other, then we will be pre
pared and reaftly to lead the lost
to repentance and a real God sent
Revival of old time religion. I
truly believe that if everyone
would draw together in regular
Sunday School and Church attend
ance, remove all malice and mis
understandings from our hearts,
God would send us a good revival
and we could enjoy serving Him
so much more. Our blessings would
not stop at the church either. They
would spread out through our daily
lives and everything would turn
out better for us.
We took our Church Census last
week which will be a help to more
work in increasing our attendance
and to know more about what we
have to do.
The ladies had a rood attend
ance and meeting In W. M. U. on
Saturday afternoon, on the “Home
Mission” day, making a good of
fering for Home Missions. We got
a good picture of the work of one
of the first Missionaries in our
Sunday School lesson on Sunday
as we studied about Paul and his
preaching from house to house.
Our pastor, Rev. C. E. Warren,
brought a wonderful message on
Sunday A. M. from John 13: 1-17
on the subject, “If Ye know these
things, happy are ye if ye do
them”. He stressed the fact that
the equation for a happy life comes
from knowing things plus putting
them into practice.
Continuing in the book of John
on Sunday night, Rev. Warren is
preaching about the time just be
fore Christ crucifiction and is lead
ing up to that and the Resurrect
ion sermon which will come on
Easter Sunday. We shouldn’t want
to miss any of these sermons as
the story of Jesus is always so
sweet no matter how many times
we hear it.
