Pine Trees Are
Ready Cash Crop
For Farmers
BY CARL DENNIS
FOREST RANGER
Just how fast will a pine tree
grow in Newton County?
That question is asked frequent
ly by farmers and landowners in
this area who are investigating
advantages of growing trees as a
crop.
The rate of growth in cubic feet
or cords of any stand of pine de
pends on a great number of fac
tors.
On good soils, where fires have
been kept out and where the
growing space is fully occupied,
the growth per acre per year may
be a cord or more. Understocked
lands exist in this County, and
the average on such lands is often
far less than a third of a cord.
The rate of growth depends on
the following:
1— The number of trees per
acre.
2 — The type of soil.
3 — The age of the stand.
4 — The extent of damage
through fire.
These factors are so variable
that we certainly cannot safely
declare that all our county stands
grow at a certain rate per acre.
It is safe, however, to say that in
most cases the growth can be in
creased by better protection from
fire and better cutting practices.
The nation’s pulp and timber
industries are looking to this area
for raw materials, and the trees
farmer who can provide them is
assured of good cash for his crop.

BOOK OF THE WEEK
A MAN CALLED PETER
By Catherine Marshall
We think we’ve reviewed this
wonderful book once before in
our column, but in view of the
exciting events in connection
' with it last week, we felt it
appropriate to say a little bit
rqore about it.
In “A MAN CALLED PETER,”
1 Catherine Marshall has told the
, warmly human story of Dr.
j Peter Marshall’s life, and of
' their life together. It is a record
of love and faith, and includes
several sermons and prayers
never before published.
This book is of especial inter
est to us because Peter Marshall
began his work right he» in
Covington. Os these years, Mrs.
Marshall writes,” Three joyous
years in Covington followed. The
church there thrived under his
leadership. In addition, mission
work was undertaken at Gum
Creek, Pine Grove, and Hayston.
Peter saw certain men’s lives
in Newton County transformed
by the Nazarene. He never for
got the thrill of witnessing those
first conversions of his ministry.
His many experiences in West
minister Presbyterian Church in
Atlanta, the tender humor of
his courtship of Catherine at
Agnes Scott, all make interest
ing reading, even to those of us
who did not know him well.
As Chaplain of the Senate of
the United States, his brief and
right-to-the-point prayers made
history. Remember this one?
“Since we strain at gnats and
swallow camels, give us a new
standard of values and the abil
ity to know a trifle when we
see it and to deal with it as
such.”
The book is full of inspiration,
humor, pathos — it cannot be
read without a fair share of
laughter, tears, and admiration
for this wonderful Peter Mar
shall, who spent his all-too-brief
lef, as did his Master before
him, working for his Lord.
What could be more complete,
more all-encompassing, than the
final prayer in the book? “Hear
us, we pray Thee, as we call
upon Thee for help, for strength,
for peace; for grace, for reassur
ance, for companionship; for
love, for pardon, for health, for
salvation —so joy. Hear us,
Lord Jesus. Amen.” That seems
to take care of just about every
thing, doesn’t it? If you haven’t
read the book, go to the Newton
County Library and take out a
copy. If you have read it, read
it again — you’ll enjoy it.

Feeding Blackstrap Molasses
By W. Tap Bennett, Director
Agricultural Development Dept.
Central of Georgia Railway
In previous articles I have
mentioned feeding blackstrap
molasses to take the place of
some concentrates and as a par
tial substitute for corn. This sug
gestion seems to have aroused
some interest and, probably due
to the shortage of grain, has
brought inquiries as + o proper
use of blackstrap molasses.
In feeding tests, 2 to 5 pounds
of blackstrap molasses per day
per head, op to not more than
half of the corn in a basal ration,
has proven economical. The Ani
mal Husbandry Department of
the University of Georgia con
ducted some experiments last
year using blackstrap in combi
nation with cottonseed hulls and
meal. They found that 10 pounds
of molasses to 10 poonds of cot
tonseed hulls gave good daily
average and total gains, turned
out a high dressing percentage
for the steers, and a high carcas
grade.
A Little
Preaching
BY REV. ALFRED W. HANNER
Two men had gone on a fish
ing trip to a lake which proved to
be loaded with fish. In the midst
of their good luck on Sunday
one man looked down at his
watch and noticed that it was
eleven o’clock. “Oh me, I should
be in church. I just hate to miss
church.” His friend said, “I
couldn’t go to church anyway be
cause my wife is sick.”
The truth in this story is what
makes it so funny. When we
think of the excuses which are
given for not going to church and
imagine someone giving such an
excuse for not coming to work,
then we see how little it takes to
keep us away from God’s house.
What would boss say if you told
him that you could not come to
work because you were expecting
your brother and his wife to
come to see you?
If every once in a while we
would admit to ourselves that we
didn’t go to church last Sunday
because we didn’t want to go,
perhaps the sound of the words
would cause us to think how we
felt about our religion. If it is
easy to find excuses then we do
not have any real depth in our
search for worship. How deep
does our Christianity run when
each little shower of rain can
wash all desire to go to church
away? How rich is our experience
of God when any excuse at all is
enough to satisfy our conscience
that we shold not have gone to
worship God?? There is nothing
wrong with God. Could it be that
there is something wrong with
us?
See you in church Sunday.

(Largest Coverage Any Weekly In The State
In experiments at Clemson Ag
ricultural College, Clemson, S.
C., blackstrap replaced all farm
■ grains in the rations of heifers.
The rations included corn silage
as roughage. 2 pounds of cotton
seed meal per heifer daily and
blackstrap molasses. The molas
ses was fed two ways: (1) free
choice in a trough, and (2) pour
ed on the silage. All groups of
heifers gained well, but the most
economical results were obtained
from feeding 3 to 4 pounds of
molasses daily poored on top
of the roughage. Average gains
up to 1.8 pounds per day were
obtained with yearling heifers
fed in this manner. They advise
that if legume hays are fed, the
cottonseed meal can be reduced
to one pound per heifer daily.
Blackstrap is especially use
ful in getting animals to clean
up roughage which would other
wise be unpalatable.
In cases where a sugar refin
ery is close enough to enable
low delivery costs, feeding mo
lasses free-choice m trooghs
would' be practical.

ALTAR
THOUGHTS
BY REV. R. B. HAWKINS
A TRUE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE
“Neither be ye idolaters, as
were some of them; as it is writ
ten, the people sat down to eat
and drink, and rose up to play”.
I Cor. 10:7.
An idol is any thing that one
loves more than he loves God.
These were idolators because
they loved their wine and their
play more than they loved their
maker. These people lived by the
Epicurian philosophy of life. Life
to them was eating, drinking and
playing. If God possesed any
I part in their lives they would
have spent themselves in giving
rather than in gaining all the
pleasure that they could bring to
themselves. A child of God seeks
first His Kingdom. He therefore
puts God first. The only way to
put God first is to love God not
only for the .sake of loving Him.
but to love Him for the sake of
promoting the welfare of His
children. Hie Master found that
to do this meant to give His best
in Service. His philosophy of life
can be expressed in the passage:
“He that would be greatest
among yon, let him be your ser
vant.”
Prayer: Help us, Ow Father, to
love Thee and Thy Kingdom to
such an extent that it will be im
possible for anything or any per
son to come between us and Thee.
Amen.
