AN APPEAL TO ALL, TO LOVE, FEAR, AND SERVE GOD MORE. Kind Editor: I want you to give me another little space in your dear paper. I think you know, as many oth ers do, that I am never well; so today whild lying on my bed, and thinking of the goodness and mer cies cf God, and of this v£in gen eration, May, my daughter, was reading The Henry County Week ly. I told her to hand me one sheet of it. the one that had “Ob server” on it, because I am always anxious to know what he has to say, but my eye caught this in the corner: Looking for a man — Jeremiah, 5—1.” I read it through, and a power came over me, that made my heart say, “I want to write some too.” 1 certainly en joy all the writer had to say, and think with him, what it bakes to be a man for God’s honor, and how can we poor mortals have any desire to do, or say, anything that does not honor God. How you can find these words in 1 Samuel, 2—30: “Sooken against God’s children when living in dis obedience to his blessed word, for them that honor me I will honor, and they that depise me shall be lightly esteemed.” Just get your Bible and read it all, and you can understand it better, and then get Weekly, March 30, and read what Mr. Barnett has to say again. He is a stranger to me, but he cer tainly has the Bible to uphold him in ail he says. In reading what he says, my heart’s cry is, how can any nation of people have any war spirit, only to fight sinr The Bible plainly tells us, there is a war between evil and good ail the time, but the promise is, re sist the deyil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you —4 chapter of James, and 7 and 8 verses. So you see we have got to resist the evil; are we doing that? We are told in Ephesians, 5 chapter and 18 and 19 verses, and be not drunk with wi ;e, wherein is excess, but be filled with the spirit. Speaking to yourselves in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making rnelodv in your heart to the Lord. Now I find|when I do that, the evil spirit dues not trouble me much. Oh, the greatest joy I have ever found, is in trying to obey my blessed Saviour. When I used to read my Bible where it speaks of other Gods, I thought then we had to have an image to bow down to, but 1 found I was wrong. I find now that the Bible tells us' that what our minds are filled with, is the God we serve. Now if 1 only knew that our United States hid their trust in God right, and not in man and money, how happy I would le. But 1 tead -and hear of so many seeking worldly pleasure and worldly things, it makes my heart sad. The oid part of the Bible plain ly tells us that none ever won a battle, only those that i >ught as Gideon did, with the swprd of th Lord, and of Gideon. And ihey stood every man in his place ’round about the camp. Judges, 7 chapter, 18 and 21 verses. Now if there is a promise in the Bible, only in obedience to God’s word, I have not found it. Now we have these words in Isaiah, 5o chapter and 7, 8 and 9 verges : Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near. Let the wicked for sake his way, and the unright eous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, Saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Oh, how near nothing we are without God’s help. But now this blessed promise comers, 2 Chroni cles 7 chapter and 14 verse, if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from meaven and for give their sin, and wilfl heal their land Now, I find when I trust God atid try to obey him, hef*aiwa\ s heals me just in little things at home, or anywhere. I have re peated this much of the Bible, and would like to keep on, but fear I am taking too much space, so will ask ail who will to read the 100 Psalm. It tells us how for God’s children to live, and Paul to be lilted with the spirit, and if we know if we are full of the works of God, diere is no room for rook parties, and things of this vain world. Now, this appeal is to every body, and myself too, to study th blessed word of God mot e, and try to serve the Go i that Job speaks of, in who.-e hand is the. soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job, i 2 chapter, 10 verse. Mrs. Shirley Kelley. You say, Mr. Merchant, th d you don’t have to advertise because you have been in businehs so long that everybody knows } on. Wei!, there is a certain mail order con cent in Chicago that has probably been in business as long as you have, and we will bet a nickel h a ginger cake that every person that reads these lines can call the name of that firm.

In last week’s paper 1 read with interest an art.cle written by Mr. -Barnett, “Looking for a Man.” 1 trust each reader of the dear old Weekly read it, not only read it, but will live it. Mr. Barnett, I feel that we have a Man in our community —a man at home, a man m church, a man viio loves ;nd serves his God 305 days in the year, abides by the laws of his country, always ready to lend a helping hand to tl ose in -need; a mau at ail times and in all places; a man in his automo bile, using it to glorify God, never in haste, always ready to gathei up some friend, neighbor or chil dren, carrying them to church, to school/to town. We feel that his reward will be great. To be a man is God’s holy command. His name is W. N. Gilmore. sleepy Eyes.

Better Farming in the South WILLIAMSON PLAN OF CORN CULTURE Has Proven Successful in Coastal liams », of Dar hngUHi, S. lias xjlf originated a plan of earn culture which has been adopted by a .-tell farmers residing E*- ISjp in the Coastal Plains of South Georgia with ex- J. N. HAULER, Since a number Agronomist of inquiries have come to the Farm Service Bureau about methods of corn culture it is considered advisable to recommend the Williamson method to farmers in the coastal region or those who have sandy loam soils. The following is an out line of the method in Mr. Williamson’s own words: "Break the land broadcast during the winter, using a two horse plow or, better, a disc plow. Bed with turn plow’ six-foot rows, leaving a five-inch baik. When ready to plant, break this out with a scooter. Plow deeply in the bottom of this furrow, using a Dixie with wing t.a;:en off. Ridge then on this furrow with same plow still g mg deep. Run the corn planter on this ridge,) drooping one grain every fi\e or six inches. "Plant, early, as soon us frost dan ger is past. Early planting is espe cially needful on very rich lands where stalks can not otherwise bo kept from growing too largo. “Give the first w< rking with a har row or any plow that will not coyer the plant. For second working use ten or twelve inch* sweep. Corn should not be worked again until the growth has been so retarded, and the stalk so hardened that it will never grow' too large. This is the most difficult point in the whole process. Expert ence and judgment are required to knffW just how much the stalk should be stunted, and plenty of nerve is re quired to hold back your corn when your neighbors, who fertilized at plant ing time and cultivated rapidly, have corn twice the size of yours. “When von are convinced that yom corn has been sufficiently humiliated, you may begin to make the ear.

Plains And Sandy Loam Soils f plants should now be from twelve eighteen inches high. “Put half your fertilizer (this being the lirst used at ail) in the old sweep furrow on both sides of every other middle and cover by breaking out this middle with turn plow. About one week later treat the other middle the same way. Within a few days side corn in first middle with sixteenth-inch sweep. Put all your nitrate cf soda in this furrow, if less than 150 pounds. If more, use one-half of it. Cover with one furrow of turn plow, then sow peas in this middle broad cast at the rate of at least one bushel to acre, and finish breaking out. "In a few days side corn in other middle with same sweep, put balance of nitrate cf soda in this fuuow, if lfr has been divided, cover with turn plow, sow poßs, and break out. This lays by your crop with a good bed and plenty of dirt around your milk. Thi* should be from June 10th u> 20th, un less the season is veiy late, and corn should be hardly bunching for tasseL “Lay by early. More corn is ruined by late pi. wing than by^lack of plow ing. Tliis is when the ear is hurt. “The stalks thus raised are very small, and do not requite anything like Ihe moisture even in proportion to size than is necessary for large, sappy stalks. They may, therefore, bn left thicker in the row. #l.arge stalk* can not make large yields except with, extremely favorable seasons, for they cannot stand a lack of moisture. Corn raised by this method should not bn ’over seven feet high, and the ear should be near the ground.” For Piedmont Section. For the Piedmont sec ion the Wil liamson Plan can not be closely fol lowed but must bo modified. Half of the fertilizer should be applied before planting. The other half should he applied not later than when corn is knee.high. The nitrate of soda should then be applied when the corn is waist high. Raise Corn As War Measure In respon e to the call f r food sup plies in view of war conditions, the, Southern fa: mor should plant r.s la vs a crop of corn as possible. He should fertilize liberally and, cultivate thor oughly so that, maximum crops m y he produced. It is recommended that rr: 'll f>ftO to (500 pounds of fell >zer be I applied on Piedmont soils and from I 800 to 1,000 to coastal plain soils. . VALUABLE PRESENTS FREE.
