FAT CALF SHOW
The animals displayed in the
Houston County Fat Calf Show
were probably the best ever
shown here, although their num
ber was less than usual, it is a
fine thing for the Kiwanis club
to encourage the growing of beef
cattle by the youths of Houston
county.
The livestock industry has pro
gressed in this county but needs
to be increased more than ever
during this war period.
We are proud of the fine show
ing made by Houston in
the Macon Cattle Show. Con
gratulations to Eugene Pyles
and Air. Ed Beckham on the
many prizes won by them in
Macon.
The colored boys won prizes in
Macon, too, and we congratulate j
them on their fine display.
L. C. Walker, F. F. A. coun
selor, W. T, Middlebrooks,county
agent, and 0. S. O’neal, colored
agent, deserve credit for the ad
vice and help given their groups
in the raising and fattening of i
the calves. Every farm agency
in the county as well as civic
groups should encourage the
growing of livestock in the
county.
“Grow Something to Eat” is a
slogan that should be adopted by
every farm family.
“In selecting the breed of
chickins for the farm flock,
choose between Rhode Island
Reds, New Hampshire, Barred
Plymouth Rock, White Plymouth
Rock or Leghorn, the Extension
Service advises. With the ra
tioning of meat coming in April,
its a good idea to raise chickens.
A year-round garden is one of
the most valuable possessions a
family can have, especially since
food is being rationed.
Georgia farm families are be
ing asked by the Extension Ser
vice to open a second fr o n t
against waste and to marsh,i
their resources for the war el
fort. Houston county farmers
are already doing these things.
Th e best bread is whole
wheat bread, we think, and the
best way to have wholewheat
bread on the farm is to grow the
wheat.
MORE HOGS IN ’43
America will need all the meat ;
it can get in 1943 as the govern
ment will buy for the armed
forces and for Lend-Lease about
one pound of every four produc
ed. Government purchases will
probably total 7,L billion pounds
during the year. Civilian de
mand would take 21 billion
pounds—if it were available.
Thus, there will be a demand for
28,‘j billion pounds of meat, out
if 1943 meat production goals art
met in full there will be only
25.7 billion pounds of meat. \V itn
our fighters getting first call,
there will be only IS billion
pounds left for civilians. So
grow more hogs in 1943.
GROW NITROGEN
I
Nitrogen is one of the most im
portant and expensive plant
f ood elements in commercial i~r
tilizers, E. D. Alexander, Geor
gia Extension Service agrono
mist, reminded farmers this
week. It is scarce be muse u. us
use in war work. Over each acre
of land there are 35.000 tons of
nitrogen in the air. Alexander
pointed out that by planting le
gume crops, the farmer can be
oome his own ration board for
this nitrogen. A good legume
crop will give nitrogen equiva
lent to 20U to 400 pounds of ni
trate of soda per acre.
Largest Producer of Hops
With Germany’s acquisition of the
Sudetenland, it became the world’s
largest producer of hops.

IN THE UPPER ROOM
LESSON TEXT—John 13:12-20; 14:1-6.
GOLDEN TEXT—Jesus salth unto him. I
«m the way, and the truth, and the life: no
one cometh unto the Father, but by me.—
John 14:6.
Calvary and crucifixion were just
ahead. Jesus gathered His disciples
j for a time of communion and in
struction as they spent their last
I evening together. On the morrow
would come betrayal, but now they
and their Lord were together in the
upper room.
But even here strife and dissen
sion had apparently come in. There
was probably some difference of
opinion as to who should have the
place of honor. To teach them the
virtue of humility Jesus gave them .
an example, after which He contin- ,
ued with the precious counsel and
prayer which are found in John 14
to 17.
Our lesson presents three things
which our Lord gave to His disciples
and to us (see John 17:20).
I. His Example—“Do as I Have
Done” (13:12-20).
The act of Jesus in washing the
disciples’ feet placed Him, their Lord
and Teacher, on the level of the
most menial servant. It was an as
tonishing thing that He did, lower
! ing Himself below their level to
! serve them.
His application of the object les
son was equally startling. “Ye call
me Teacher and Lord, and ye say
well,” said He. Then as learners
and servants He required of them
the humility which would make
them eager to do lowly service in
His name.
There are more than enough folk
who are willing to do the nice, pleas
ant things in the church, where they
will be given recognition and praise.
All too scarce are those Christlike
folk who will serve in the hidden
places where darkness, suffering,
disease and sin make the natural
man recoil in distress or fear.
11. His Assurance—“lf I Go I )
Will Come Again” (14:1-3).
Following His resurrection Jesus
was to go to the Father. He wanted j
them to be prepared for that time
by making known to them the fact
of His coming again. In that day
His own shall be received unto Him
self to abide with Him forever.
The second coming of Christ is
not a strange doctrine held by 1
little groups of people who are rid
ing a theological hobby. It is one
of the most blessed truths of Scrip
ture. The hope of the Christian—
yes, the only real hope of this dis
ordered world—is the coming of
Christ to reign. The New Testa
ment is full of plain and helpful
teaching on this subject.
While we await His coming, then,
is there any encouragment for us
as the burdens bear down and the
way seems long? Yes, He says:
“Let not your heart be troubled”
(v. 1), There is little question that
this passage has comforted more
people than any other word in Scrip
ture.
Countless bewildered and broken
souls in all lands and times have
here found the steadying assurance
of the one who has the power to
give them rest and comfort.
There is good foundation for their
composure of heart in a troubled
world. They believe in God, and in
Christ, who is one with the Father.
! Here is real security—infinitely su
perior to aught the world can give.
Then at the end of the road are
the eternal dwelling places. What
they are like is sufficiently revealed
in the fact that they are in the Fa
ther’s house. How shall we reach
them? That is our last point. We
[ have
111. His Guidance—“l Am the
Way” (vv, 4-6).
To Christ's declaration that they
knew the way, Thomas responded
with a request for a definite state
-5 ment. He wanted to be sure, and
Christ responded by reminding him
that He, their Lird, is the “way,
the truth, and the life.” Surely there
could be no more complete provi
sion for the guidance of the heavenly
pilgrim.
Christ is “the way.” If one takes
the right road he will reach the
right destination though he “cannot
at first see it clearly. Perhaps this
is the commonest mistake of the
Christian. He frets too much about
what lies ahead . . . and not enough
about taking the right road” (Lesson
1 Commentary).
He is “the truth.” He is the final
and complete revelation of God, and
is therefore the One who will lead
all those who walk the way by faith
into the fullness of the truth. To
know Christ is to know God.
He is "the life.” He is life, and
He alone can give eternal life to
'' man. There is none other to whom
: man may turn for life, but in
Christ it is found, and from Him it
, | may be received by faith.
We have only touched the briefest
j beginning of what took place on that
remarkable evening in the upper
room. It was a time of richest spir
itual significance, of dark betrayal,
' but also of closest communion. We
; i continue next Sunday.
