Gene Lewis
Wins District
Soil Contest
Gene Lewis, Perry FFA mem
ber, has been awarded Ist place
in the distirct FFA soil and water
management contest. He is one of
four boys who will compete for
the state prize.
The contest \Vas judged on the
amount and quality of soil con
servation practices carried out by
the student on the farm. Some of
the conservation practices carried
out by Gene were planting pine
trees, controlling gullies, plant
ing cover crops, constructing new
fences, establishing permanent
pastures, and subsoiling farm
land.
Father-Son Team
Most of the practices were car
ried on in connection with his
beef cattle project. Seven beef
cattle eat a lot of grass. Gene
and his father, Grady Lewis of
Grovania, have been carrying on
soil conservation practices on the
farm since it was purchased in
1941. At that time it was badly
eroded, gullied, and covered with
brush. Since that time gullies
have been filled, brush cleared
and fences constructed'to make
way for crops and livestock.
The pastures are being increas
ed as the beef herd on the farm
increases. They are now plan
ning to put in 20 acres of coastal
bermuda-crimson clover. As Mr.
Lewis said, “you can’t do it all in
one day.”
Gene says subsoiling has really
paid for them during the dry
weather, especially on the corn.

projects have been swine, oats,
corn, and soybeans. The farm
ing operation on the Lewis farm
is an excellent example of father
son cooperation. Gene has his
own beef cattle and an interest
in the farm equipment.
■ Most of the work on the farm
is done by Gene and his younger
! brother, Charles, since their fath
er’s health has been bad for
some time. During rush seasons
i 'they exchange work with a
neighbor, Robert Horton. The co
operative spirit of the father is a
great help to Gene as it is to any
boy who is planning to make
farming away of life.
Gene has been in the FFA for
three years and plans to continue
his studies of vocational agricul
tural next year at Perry High
School.

Demonstration
Agent Says
BY CLANCY McCALEB
It is possible to remove most
any spot or stain from many
clothing articles by following a
few simple rules. Following are
twelve suggestions for removing
stains successfully:
1. Treat the stain while it is
fresh.
2. Know your cloth—what is
it made of? Does it wash well?
3. For a non-greasy stain,
sponge with cold water. For a
grease stain, try carbon tetra
chloride.
4. Avoid hot water on an un
known stain. Hot water sets
many stains.
5. Test for color change on a
sample of cloth before using
stain remover.
6. Apply remover sparingly
several times rather than one
generous application.
7. Use light brushing motions,
never rub a remover into the
stain.
8. Neutralize acids with alka
lies,
9. Rinse well, never let a 1
chemical dry on the cloth.
10. Neutralize alkalies with
acids.
11. Spread a liquid remover
unevenly into the cloth around
the stain.
> 12. Dry rapidly to help
rings.

veloped by the College of Agri

Think of Brother
Lesson t or July 29, 1951
THE Christians in the city of
Corinth were bothered about a
number of things. One of them
never bothers any
body any more, and ppMgwpr*
yet, strange as it
seems, it throws a If - ISi;
light on some of the ||
hottest problems a 8^
Christian meets. ■
The Corinthiai. : SE
problem was beef HLt
steak. We have a
problem with that # mi'.
too, —that is, how Dr. Foreman
are we going to pay
for it? That wasn’t the Corinthian
problem.
, This was away back in Roman
times. Every city had its temple
where sacrifices were made to the
I gods. Sacrifices were of all kinds,
j from flowers to cattle. It was con
sidered rather wasteful, after kill
ing a big bull, to throw the carcass
away; so after the ceremonies at
the temple, the rose-garlands would
| be taken off the beast’s neck, and
the animal would be hauled away
to some butcher’s shop, where it
would be cut up into roasts, steaks
and what not, and sold over the
counter just like any other moat.
Now §ome of the Christians be
gan to worry over their meat sup
ply. Suppose I buy a steak in the
I market (one would ask) and sup
i pose that steak came from a bull
or a cow that has been killed as a
sacrifice to one of these heathen
gods? Won’t that make me guilty
of idolatry?
* • *
Your Conscience
May be Clear, but—
QO they wrote to the best man
they knew, their old evangelist
and pastor, the man who had con
verted them to Christ and organ
ized their church, the Apostle Paul.
They asked him about this and
other things; and what we call
"I Corinthians” is his answer.
You might think this beef
steak problem trivial, but Paul
never handled a trivial problem
j In a trivial way. He approached
the problem in this way: Meat
Is only meat, he said; it certain
ly wasn’t the bull’s fault that he
was part of a heathen cere
mony, As for the butcher, he
paid good money for the animal,
in a perfectly respectable bus
iness transaction. Then where
was the sin In eating such
meat?
But wait a minute. Suppose you
are dining out, and you happen to
know where the meat came from,
and everybody at the table knows,
and somebody at the table isn’t
very clear-headed, and when he
sees you eating the meat, thinks
you must be approving of heathen
sacrifices: then what?
Or perhaps, some one else is less
enlightened than you; eating such
meat seems quite wrong to him,
hut when he sees you eating it, he
may (just to be polite) follow suit,
and yet his conscience, not being
an educated conscience like yours,
will hurt him all the same. So what
you do quite freely and rightly,
causes another man to go against
his conscience.
• • *
Think of Your Brother!
AjOW, then, Paul says: “If what I
eat makes my brother fall, I
will never eat meat again>rather
than make my brother fall.” (Amer
ican translation.) There you have
the Christian principle.
The important question is not,
"Is it any harm?” but, “What
effect is this going to have on
other people?”
We have seen that the basic
Christian principle in ay human re
lationships is the importance of
personality. If an act, even a harm
less and blameless act, hurts per
sons—-makes them sin, makes
them go against their own con
science, then the Christian's rule is
at once: Don’t.
The rightness or wrongness of a
thing is not all in the thing itself:
it comes from its effects on
persons. Now apply this to some of
our own problems of social living.
Is drinking alcoholic liquor a sin? Is
the use of tobacco sinful? Is dancing
wrong? ( —to name a few.)
Let us suppose, for the sake of
the argument, that you are not
harmed by such things yourself. It
is a fact, however, that some people
are harmed by them. Now suppose
your act, which is quite harmless
to you and done with a clear con
science, influences another and per
haps weaker person to indulge in
something harmful to him? Then a
Christian will say, as Paul said: It
this thing makes my brother fall,
I will never do it again. Which,
after all, is more Important to me,
my own freedom or my brother’s
character?

Sore shin or “Damping-off”

attack of sorb shin. It's much
better, however, to prevent this
disease before you plant your
crop. Treatment of cotton seed
with an organic mercury dis
infectant has been proved to
stop most losses from sore shin
as well as losses from seed rot.
This treatment kills the disease
fiingi on and in the seeds and
protects both seeds and seed
lings as they cdme up.
You can treat your seeds
yourself, or have the job done
for you. In either case the
chemical costs less than per
acre, which is about one-fiftieth
the cost of replanting. The
County Agent can tell you more
about the value of seed treat
ment and where you can get
