Christian Seeds
Poor People Keep Out
On the Georgia-North Caro
liqa border there is a three
county parish in the Great
Smokies. For five years and
more I served as pastor and
circuit rider there. One Sunday
morning before services the
senior usher came to the office
and blurted "We are going to
have trouble today. There’s
some kind of an agitator out
in front.’’
• I went around the side of
the church to the front door
and saw an elderly man stand
ing there, hat in hand, waiting
for Sunday School to be dis
missed before going in to wor
ship services. His clothes were
clean, but ragged and patched.
His hair was longer than the
townspeople’s. His shoes were
shined but slashed on the sides
where logs had scraped them.
He had come down from the
mountains the night before with
a load of pulp wood and had
stayed overnight with a relative
WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALAMO, GA. 30411 FRIDAY, AUG. 20, 1971
in town. He was courteous,
but seemed embarrassed at the
harsh stares he was getting
from well-to-do members as
they began to gather.
I thought to myself, “Would
the Lord Jesus receive a wel
come at this church if He came
dressed in a poor laborer’s
clothes? — What kind of
Christianity had I been preach
ing to these, my people, for
the past five years? Had my
church become a social club
where the latest styles have
become a requisite for mem
bership? Had I failed to teach
about and witness to the love
of Jesus for the poor?
Like a flash I thought of the
question John the Baptist sent
with his disciples to Jesus.
“Are you he who is to come
or shall we look for another?’*
Jesus answered, "Go and tell
John what you hear and see:
the blind receive their sight
and the lame walk, leapers
are cleansed and the deaf hear,
the dead are raised up and
the POOR have the good news
preached to them. And blessed
is he who takes no offense
at me."
Jesus gave, as his creden
tials, preaching the good news
to the poor, as well as his
power over death. But my own
people, it seemed, were taking
offense, in this case, that the
poor should come to hear the
glad tidings of Christ in their
own church.
There are several questions
each of us must ask ourselves
these days. Does God’s bless
ing of prosperity cause me to
become more selfish and self
centered instead of more gen
erous and concerned with the :
needs of others? Do I ever
consider the suggestion of
Jesus, "When you give a dinner
or banquet, invite the poor,
the maimed, the lame, the blind
and you will be blessed be
cause they cannot repay you.”
Luke 14:13.
Do I take seriously the word
of God when I read, "My
brethem, if a man with gold
rings and in fine clothing comes
into your assembly', and a poor
man in shabby clothing also
comes in, and you pay attention
Rev.
Joseph
Dean
to the one who wears the fine
clothing and say, "Have a seat
here, please,” while you say
to the poor man, “Standthere,”
or "Sit at my feet,” have you
not made distinctions among
yourselves, and become judges
with evil thoughts? Listen, my
beloved brethem. Has not God
chosen those who are poor in
the world to be rich in fhith
and heirs of the kingdom which
he has promised to those who
love him?" James 2:2-5.
Could it be that both of us,
you and I, should make a new
beginning in our respect and
concern for the Lord’s poor?
God bless you now.

Many Or Mini
Local residents are gathering
the fruits of their labors this
summer. Early in the Spring
home gardens began taking
shape on many vacant lots, home
lawns and flower beds with
every' possible plant common
to the area found in the gardens.
One home gardener had mari
golds scatteredamong his vege
tables to ward off nematodes.
Another was quite upset when
a cutworm prunned a prize
tomato plant.
Not only do the gardens pro
vide food for families, but they -
have made the bare lots spots
of beauty and profit.
Alamo Garden Club members
made a tour and counted 74
home garden spots so there are
MINI gardens.

Winter Grazing
By David H. Williams
Here it is mid-August and
it’s still hot as “blue blazes.”
Nevertheless, now’s the time
to plan winter feed for our
cattle.
TOP PRICES
For Pulpwood
WALLACE ADAMS

One good way to meet feed
needs is with winter grazing.
W. H. Sell, one of our Extension
agronomists, reviewed latest
practices and recommendations
with me the other day, and I
would like to pass some of
these on to cattlemen in Wheeler
County.
Use one and one-half to two
bushels of rye and 30 to 40
pounds of ryegrass per acre —
plus a winter legume. The le
gume should be either 20 pounds
of crimson clover or 10 pounds
of amclo clover.
This seed mixture produces
best when planted on a well
prepared seedbed in the early
fall.
What To Expect
Tests at College of Agri
culture Experiment Stations
have shown that temporary win
ter grazing will produce about
300 pounds ofgrowthper season
on weaned calves.
When cattle on this grazing
mixture are supplemented with
feeds suchas com silage, citrus
pulp or ground snap corn, the
stocking rate can be increased
to two to three calves per acre.
. Only about one 500-pound calf
per acre is the recommended
stocking rate on unsupple
mented grazing.
When the grazing is supple
mented, 600 to 800 pounds of
animal gain per acre can be
expected.
The rye-ryegrass-legume
mixture, withintensivegrazing,
can utilize 100 to 150 pounds -
of nitrogen per- acre.
Another Possibility
Additional winter feed can be
provided by seeding ryegrass
and one of the clovers — crim
son or amclo — on matured
bermudagrass.
This seed mixture should be
at the same rate — 30 to 40
pounds of ryegrass, plus either
20 pounds of crimson or 10
pounds of amclo. Planting
should not be done until frost
lias stoppedallbermuda growth.
This system will not provide
early grazing. It will, however,
provide late winter grazing and
lots of spring grazing.
The ryegrass-clover on ber
mudagrass should be top
dressed with nitrogen in the
fall and again in late winter
to provide maximum pro
duction.
This system of overseeding
bermuda grass is an excellent
method of providing forage fora
cow-calf program.
