L. and Jim Fouts, who are co-operators of the West Georgia Soil Conservation Dis trict. These two farmers oper ate a farm together in the south ern part of the county near Chap el Hill communiy. They started an extensive soil conservation program on their farm about three years ago and have steadily increased soil conservation prac tices since. Today they have sev eral acres planted to Ky-31 Fes cue and Ladino Clover for winter grazing. Part of this winter grazing is being grazed by cows and the other being grazed by hogs which are in excellent con dition. They planted in the fall of 1949 1,000 pounds of Austrian Winter Peas and 300 pounds of hairy vetch for a soil building winter cover crop. They have several acres of Sericea Lespedeza plant ed on the steeper slopes of the farm that is being used for hay and seed production. They plant ed four acres of Ky-31 Fescue grass and four acres of Ladino Clover in the fall of 1949 to be combined for seed. These two farmers have 50 to 60 acres of small grain planted. Part of this was planted in an nual lespedeza stubble, the part that wasn't planted in lespedeza stubble will be planted in annual lespedeza this spring. Mr. Jim Fouts belongs to the 100 bushel corn club of Georgia. These two farmers are doing an outstand ing soil conservation job. They have changed their farming op erations from a row crop system to a diversified farming system. Instead of being entirely depend ent on row crops for a farm in come, they now have a smaller amount of row crops, a larger number of livestock plus small grain and Ky-31 Fescue, Ladino Clover and Sericea Lespedeza for seed, also annual lespedeza hay. Today you can see they have a cash income from several differ ent farm crops. They have a larger cash income and are in ; Mindful Os Our Obligation We feel it our.duty to relieve, as much as possible, the } 4 burdens of bereavement and sorrow.

When you fail to do soil con servation farming you are letting the fertile soil of your land wash away. This means less crop yields, more fertilizer expense, cash value of farm decreases and a lower living standard for you and your family and the future generation that will some day farm your farm. You can't afford to not do con servation farming. Make plans now to plant Sericea - Lespedeza, annual Lespedeza, Kudzu and im prove your permanent pasture h:s spring;; also to have your farm properly terraced. Plan a crop rotation on your farm that will protect and build the soil and increase your farm income. Next fall plant Ky-31 Fescue Grass, Ladino Clover or Crimson Clov er for seed crops and winter grazing, and plant all the winter cover crops you can afford. Ev ery farm in Douglas County has a place for some or all of these soil building practices. FUNERAL FOR LOUIS JONES Funeral services for Louis A.

Satan's Throne Lesson for February 26, 1950 "T HOLD NO BRIEF for him" is 'a lawyer's expression often borrowed by other people. A law yer who holds a brief for a man has been employed to represent him. It is his duty to present the man in the best light possible. Now we know about the eatiy church at Corinth from two sources: Luke and Paul. The book of Acts was written, among other rea sons, to show that the Christian church, far from being a subversive movement as its n _ enemies claimed. Dr F " rema " was a benefit to the world. Os course this was true; but since this was Luke's purpose, he naturally omitted as much of the church's shortcomings as he could, and played up the good features. • • • Church with the Lid Off Paul, on the other hand, writing to the church at Corinth (and to others as well), held no brief for them. He was not trying to praise them or to tell anybody how good they were. He knew them intimately; he had Indeed converted most of the members. His letters to Corinth, from which our lesson gives a small sample, shows us a church "with the lid off." • •• Where Satan's Throne Is YEARS afterward, another Christian writer said of another church that they lived "where Satan's throne is." You might al # most have said the same thing of I Corinth. It was a large commercial city; people from everywhere fun neled into it. Like any city of this sort it had earned a reputation for wickedness of every kind— drink, liquor, gambling, women, cut throat business, rotten polities—lt was all there. Even in the easy going Roman world, Corinth was notorious. Corinth was a sort of man made jungle, like our own great cities today. It made a sort of test case: If the church could succeed in Corinth It could succeed anywhere. If the power of Christ could make new men and women out of the denizens of that great city, there was no jungle, man-made or nature-made where Christ could not go. Can men and women be Christian in the midst of a non- Christian, even anti - Christian world? • • • Our Pagan World PAUL'S ANSWER, of course, is Yes: on one condition. You must take your pattern for living from Jesus, not from the world around you. The big problem at Corinth, which included all other problems, was the fact that the Christians there were acting too much like the people outside the church. Christians must be differ ent! insisted Paul. This is not an echo of a bygone time. Our own world is a new Cor inth. Even into the remotest village, the most isolated farm, the world of our time pushes in, by radio, movies, maga zines and papers and advertis ing, even by schools and clubs. And it is a pagan world. Take the movies alone, that fer tile source of most young people's ideas. Hollywood's idea of mar riage—a temporary affair till bore dom do us part; Hollywood's idea of a good time —liquor flowing free; Hollywood's idea of success —an immense house with an even bigger swimming pool. Not that there are no good mov ing pictures; but in general what is made glamorous on a thousand screens is anything but a Christian world. ■ • * And Be Ye Separate PAUL KNEW it is not practical to have no contact with evil. He would not approve of Christians going into monasteries where they would henceforth see none but top grade saints. Christians have to live in the world, even if they live where Satan's throne is. But Chris tians ought to be different. „ The world says: Drink makes no difference; men of distinction all do it. The Christian knows better: Christ's man of distinction will keep himself clean. The world says: Let yourself go, follow your impulses, look out for yourself. The Christian knows better: he is one bought with a price. We that are strung ought to help the weak and not to please ourselves. The world says: Do as other people do!
