SHOW The following article on Soil Stewardship was prepared by the Rev. Joe E. Baker, Jr., Pastor of the Rising Fawn Cir¬ cuit, which includes the Meth¬ odist Churches at Rising Fawn, New England, Cave Springs and Byrd’s Chapel. “THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE SOIL” In Psalms 24, we read that, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.” God has entrusted to us all of earth’s natural resources. We are de¬ pendent upon them for our existence. Without them, the soil being one of our greatest resources, w? would soon die. President Theodore Roosevelt said, “When the soil it gone, man must go, and the process does not take long.” Erosion has already damaged millions of acres of farm land in the United States. The area surrounding Copperhill, Ten- n essee is illustrative of soil erosion in its worst stages.

Heavy rains have washed away precious top-soil from the naked hillsides leaving nothing but tremendous gullies and ditches. Recently, the indus¬ tries have discovered a method whereby they can capture the fumes found useful in the ma¬ nufacture of certain chemicals, and thereby making it possible for the government to extend a program of replanting the land with grass and trees. Dr. W. C. Lowdermilk, an eminent student of land use in the Bible lands has made this statement: “Out of the land of Mesopotamia came the stories of the Flood and of Noah and the Ark - of Jonah and Nineveh - and of the Tower of Babel, Here also was the traditional J where site of Adam the and Garden Eve of Eden, food were I gatherers - Toda y I s as bar- ! ren of vegetation as thou S h j shaved a razor , When the early Pioneers first ! came to America, they found a j land with inexhaustible re- ; sources.

Associate hostesses will be Mrs. H. E. Gross and Mrs. H. F. Allion they went, cutting forests, building homes, and planting crops. After several hundred years of waste and exploita¬ tion we are approaching a very serious crisis. Since 1900 the population of the United States has almost doubled — from .76,000,000 to 150,000,000. Each year the population increases around two million, which means more people must have food, clothing and housing. In meeting the needs of our present age, we are having to learn how to manage the s^il so as to produce the largest quantity of products, and at the same time put back into the soil that which has been taken out. We are learning how to use the soil wisely. The par¬ able of the sower in the Bible teaches us that all soils are not the same. Some soils are more suitable than others for crops. The seed that fell by the way- side, in stony places, and among thornes did not yield a crop, but those that fell upon good soil did. Some land can be used for nothing except pasture, mea¬ dow or woodland. Sloping hill¬ sides that are too steep to cul¬ tivate would be unsuitable for crops, but it could make excel¬ lent grazing land or forest. Level land would be best suited for planting crops. Such practices as rotation of crops, contour tillage, strip cropping, terracing and drain¬ ing swamps prevent erosion and improves the land. Where these modern methods are be¬ ing used the crop yield per acre is increasing. In the practice of soil stew¬ ardship, the people of the com¬ munities, the school, and the church must co-operate with ou" local Soil Conservation Sre- vice. We are all dependent on the soil. Everything dies if the soil fails to yield. “The con¬ servation of soil and the con¬ servation of souls, far from be¬ ing disparate, are worthy and complementary goals.” Jesus once spoke of the tragedy of a man losing his soul, saying, “What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" One might ask this question, “What has a tiler of the soil profited if he shall gather temporary finan- cail gain and lose the topsoil of his farm?’ As one clergyman has so aptly put it, “It ought to hum¬ ble us and fill us with grati¬ tude and inspire us to a gen¬ uine stewardship to remember that ours is a heritage of soil, not achievement. God’s good¬ ness is there in soil, minerals, plants and animals.” Therefore, it behooves each of us to do his part in caring for the soil and using it wisely. We are stewards. The soil is a God-given trust. We have the opportunity now of showing ourselves good stewards of the soil by USING IT AS A SA¬ CRED TRUST. By The Rev. Joe E. Baker, Jr. Rising Fawn, Ga.
