Power For Living
Bv I)K. i\ OTIS MH l.l NC
Pastor, Karmville Baptist Church
At this season of the year our
thinking turns toward one of the
greatest facts of history—the resur
rection of-Jesus of Nazareth. Injthe
i f surreetion of Jesus a power was
released or exerted which is beyond
human understanding.
However, as we think of the
resurrection, we often miss a most
: ■ . O think
ing is either concerned with the his
r-rical fact of the resurrection or
its future significance in our own
resurrection. Both of these aspects
uf the resurrection are true and are
very important. But it overlooks
a most important meaning of the
resurrection: the resurrection has a
present significance
It is a present reality and is an
important factor in life for today.
For in this great event in history,
there was released a power that; is
available to every believer in Jesus
Christ. Tills power is a power that
will enable the Christian to live a
victorious life. Thus for the resur
rection to mean the most to us we
must think of it as more than! a
historical fact and dogma of the
Christian church. The believer j in
< ! lily < lanion
the same Jesus who walked airing
the shores of Galilee almost twenty
: [am
with you always, even unto the ejnd
of the ages" Matthew 28:20 And
the same power that raised Jesus
f'om the grave is available to jus
to live resurrected lives in the
r 1
There are three simple steps jin
making this powet available in ov1
lives Firs", vvr must realize that
we need this power and that We
want it more than anything else in
all the world This includes and ad
mission to ourselves and to God
that we are sinners and that, we
are helpless to redeem ourselves.
It includes a willingness to give up
whatever exists in our lives that
would hinder God’s power from
working in and through us. We
must realize that this power is not
r own. but a powt from outside
ef our selves It is God’s power.
Then we must learn all \v< ran
about the source of this power. That
is, we must be constant stud) it
of the Bible TIip Bible is the Re
corded revelation of God as seen
through his dealing with man. And
if we desire to know this God of
power, vve must read about him.

Separate 'Kind' Reaches Hearing Stage
Representative Watkins M. Ab

House Agriculture Tobacco Sub
committee. which he heads, will
hold hearings April 10 and 11 on
his bill which would separate Vir
ginia dark-fired tobacco. Type 21,
from Type 22 and 23 in figuring
marketing quotas and price sup
ports.
The bill. H. R. 5002. was intro

and has received endorsement
from a number of roups in the
State
Abbitt said the hearings will

proposed change.
\ll I limped Together
The purpose of the bill, accord
in’g to Representative Abbitt. is
to separate Virginia dark-fired
; tobacco and make it a separate
"kind of tobacco" so far as deter
mining marketing quotas and
price supports is concerned. At
present Type 21 is considered by
the Department of Agriculture
along with Types 22 and 23 in
figuring acreage allotments and
related statistics.
Abbitt pointed out that this is
Capitol Plant

The usual opposition from Ten
nessee and Kentucky growers,
speaking through their Congress
men, is expected to offer stiff op
position to Congressman Watkins
M Abbitt's bill to put Virginia
Type 21 dark-fired tobacco on its
own feet as a distinct kind of to
bacco.
This time the Virginian’s bill
has Department of Agricu'ture
approval if agreement is reached
in all dark leaf producing states
freeing the fire-cured tobacco
support program from burley to
bacco. Xt is now supported at *75
per cent of the burley tobacco
rate.
Types 22 and 23 dark-fired to
baccos, grown in Kentucky and
Tennessee, have not had demand

with burley and standing al<;n<\
Types 22 and 23 might face dif
ficulties, and hence the opposi
tion to the Abbitt bill.
Even so. the Virginia effort at
separating the types — a move

long over-due on the basis of de

any previous time.

The program is a development on

growers because while Type 21
tobacco is in strong demand.
Types 22 and 23 are not selling
well and are being purchased by
the stabilization pool.
Demand Greater
Tobacco people in Virginia ha' •
contended for years that Type 21
should be separated from the
other two types so as to put it on
its own footing and give Virginia
growers the benefit of the preferr
ed standing it has. enjoyed on the
market.
Type 22 tobacco is grown large

grown mostly in Kentucky.
It has been pointed out that
despite the favorable balance be

Type 21. Virginia growers took a
10 per cent acreage cut this year.
Abbitt said testimony will be
taken from representatives of the
Department, growers, and others
interested in the change

Lettermen Strength
To Make Amelia
Orioles A Threat
Amelia Pre-View
TIip Amelia High Orioles could
have a solid year in the District 3
Baseball campaign if the veteians
come through as expected and re
placement players, up from the
Ja.vvees squad field and hit ac
ceptably.
Coach Phil Bocpple believe; the
squad should improve over its 7-6
record of a season ago, since a
nucleus of eight lettermen is
available to put experience at
every position except first base j
and third base. These are import
ant spots. Bocpple knows, and
that accounts for his "could be"
a good year estimate.
Shortstop Doug Blankenship, a
dependable glove man and .357
.liter will be a key figure at
shortstop Senior James Warren
who won three and lost three last
—ason. heads the mound staff.
I.etterman Reed Mottley and a
newcomer. Fred Wade, will assist
with pitching chores. Boepple can
also call in Nelson Harris from
the outfield to pitch.
Around the infield. Boepple says
the first base1 job is a toss-up be
tween Jim Munden and Elred An
derson. non-lettermen; sophomore
lettermen J. B. Flippen will be
hard to displace at second, with
James Paulette his chief competi
tor. At, the hot corner, the fight
is between Anthony Hines and
Clarence Hall, both relative new
comers.
The outfield will la' experienced
with Nelson Harris n fixture in
left and Alton Hill in right field.
Nearly a half dozen candidates
are scrapping for the center field
berth led by Franklin Mills.

The Power For Living
(Continued from page 1)
Everyone needs to read the Bible
daily.
The third step is prayer. We must
he on speaking terms with God from
whom this spower and all thing
come. Prayer is more than saying
words. Prayer is an attitude. Prayer
is a relationship. Prayer is conver
sation with God Prayer is the hey
that opens up the doors of heaven
and pours into our lives peace, joy.
and contentment. Prayer: should be
a regular part of our spiritual diets.
So at this Easter season, as we
think of the glorious fact of Christ's
resurrection and the hope of our
own. let us also make use in our
lives now of this power to be con
querors of self and sin

Town Speed Limits
rT'OW\ of farmville police will install in
* the near future electric timing devices
to indicate driving speeds within the '1 own.
Used with discretion the device may have
some good effect upon the drivers of cars
on the town’s streets!. Speed limits are
violated on certain [streets more than
others. First and Second avenues, High
street. Second street are a few of the
streets where we have observed excessive
speeds, no doubt there are others.
Before the timing device is installed, we
.suggest that speed limits be well posted
showing the legal speeds on the various
streets. Where lower limits are advisable,
plain, well defined signs should be posted.
Another suggestion. A study should be
made on the approaching roads and high
ways to be certain that the speed limits now
posted are reasonable and practical.
We make these suggestions because we
were hauled into police court in Petersburg
several years ago, and fined for exceeding
the speed limit in a 25 mile zone. This zone
was in a sparsely settled area, on Route
460, (a four lane roadway), approaching
the city’s corporate limits, beside Bland
ford cemetery. The speed limit was not
conspicously posted, and practically no one
paid any attention to the low limit. Wte
were unfortunate enough to be one of the
few to be hauled in. Since that time we
have noticed how many places in the towns
' and cities requiring speeds unrealistic to
the area.
Many drivers, careful drivers become
“speeders" on account of unrealistic speed
limits or from ignorance. The Superintend
ent of Richmond schools was picked up re
cently for “speeding” in a 25 mile zone. We
do not believe he was a speeder, certainly
not at heart.
Naturally there are the habitual fast
drivers, who are a menace on the the
Town's streets. They should be checked,
apprehended and fined. Police and citizens
know most of them.
Under Virginia law, a second offense
within a year, requires loss of license to
drive for 60 days, a very salutary effect
upon habitual speeders.
V e do not intend to defend speeding in
towns, but we do want to recommend ju
dicious use of timing devices and realistic
ordinances to control safe use of the streets
for everyone, pedestrains as well as motor
ists.
I'd Like To Be A Boy Scout
I'D like to bo a Boy Scout just for this
* week end. I'd like to make that trek with
the Explorer Scouts fijom Saylor's Creek
to Appomattox, following the route of a
portion of General Lee's on the retreat of
April 1865. The Scout leaders who have ar
ranged this feature are (to lie commended.
Wilmer R. Turner, df Blaekstone, Ya.,
has studied for some years and labored to
ha\e marked and memorialized the retreat
of Lee's Army from Petersburg to Appo
mattox. His sustained interest and the co
operation of a number of co-workers led
U> the restoration of the Hillsman House,
which is a focal point iit the Sayler’s Creek
battlefield. A few relics have been placed
there and possibly in thje near future a per
manent hostess may be placed in charge.
Mr. Turner will lecture the Scouts at
points on the week end trek.
Sayler’s Creek Battlefield is the only im
portant battlefield of the War Between the
States, which has not been fully developed
and made a national shrine. It is one of the
few battlefields on which the Yankees were
victorious over the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, Lee's Army. We have often wonder
ed why the federal government has not
shown more interest in this historic place.
The Explorer scout trek may be the be
ginning of several such hikes to follow. It
may become a tourist attraction for the
future. We place more than ordinary im
portance upon it.
Checkmating Nasser
OlNCE the blockage of the Suez Canal
k iluring the fighting between Israel, Great
Britain and France against Egypt last fall,
the question of reducing to a minimum the
danger of a transportation bottleneck has
been receiving increased thought by the
governments affected and the oil industry.
The problem was discussed at a recent
meeting of top representatives of eight in
ternational oil companies in London, and
consideration also was given to the matter
by President Eisenhower and Prime Min
ister Macmillan at their meeting in Ber
muda.
Proposals have been made to expand and
improve the network Of pipelines in the
Middle East with the aim of by-passing
the Suez Canal entirely. Under considera
tion, it is said, is the construction of a large
pipeline fmnv near the head of the Persian
Gulf through Iraq and Turkey to the Bay
of I kemleruni on the Mediterranean. This
line would completely fry-pass Syria, since
the uncertain political situation in that
country causes some doubt as to the advis
abilLv of traversing that area at this time.
Another proposal would divert the term
inal of two Iraq pipelines from Haifa, Is
rael, to Saida, Lebonon. The Kirkuk (Iraq)
H'aifa line has not been used since the Is
raeli war in 1948. If an agreement can be
worked out with Jordan and Lebanon, it
is planned to re-lay the sixteen-inch line
and probably the twelve-inch line from a
point in Jordan and roughly parallel the
Trans-Arabian pipeline to Saida-Lebanon.
1 he division of these lines would result in
an increase] of 100,000 to 150,000 barrels a
day in the flow of Iraqi oil to the Mediter
ranean.
^hiie the construction of huge pipelines
over such great distances will cost hun
dreds ol millions of dollars, such an outlay
would be justified if it assured an ample
supply ol Middle East oil to Europe, thus
lorestalling drastic interruptions in the
How ol oil as a result of the whims of rul
ers of nations in positions to block tin1 ship
ment of such a vital commodity by the
simple expedient of blockading a water
ways
Installment Buying
'I'll!'. Federal Reserv'd Hoard recently
looked into the ques.ion of installment
buying in the United .States and reported
on the current situation. One of the high
lights of the report wajs the fact that the
installment debt ot the United States is
now ">1.5 billion dollars land, of course, this
is one ot the less stable signs of credit.
Researchers of the Federal Reserve
l"''an! say that installment debt does not
necessarily bring on a depression although
it a depression comes along, or even a se
vere recession, an excessive load of install
ment debt can aggravate the situation ser
iously. ,I ust what is u be considered an
excessive load’of instal nient debt is a de
batable question.
However, there is mi denying the fact
teat installment deb: has inert ased very
rapidly in recent year.-j. although savings
and incomes nave also increased. There is
also no doubt that installment buying has
come into vogue and becomes accepted even
among many in the upper middle and high
er income classes. Americans seem to be
going on trips to Europe, by air. on the in
stallment plan, and buying homes, auto
mobiles. appliances and doing just about
e\erything else on the installment plan.
Installment buying can he overdone, es
pecially for the nonessentials. In all cases,
carrying charges and interest must be add
ed, making the article or services cost more
than it money had been saved and cash
purchases made. \\ hile installment buying
plays an important part in American bus
iness. the individual is wise not to let his
desires outdistance his income.
"hen the truth hurts an enterprise,
there is something wrong with the enter
prise.

no light is Some have found it

ly knew' d.stress. This is to deny

was "greatly dis

Or. Foreman
could nardiy nave oecn iear m
death that disturbed him Lesser
men have met it. without a tremor,
and he himself had faced it more
than once without fear It was :
something deeper that broke up
the fountains of his soul that night
Cup of Suffering
There are gleams in the dark
ness. Jesus refers to his expert- i
ence as a "cup.” He had been
speaking of a cup not two hours
before, in the uppe. room, the
cup of his blond Was it this cup I
he prayed might pass from him'' I
We make a mistake when we
think of this in ill' : ely physical
terms. In many a hospital there
are patients who ha\e already
suffered longer and more severe
ly than Jesus could have, physical- i
ly speaking, ail of Good Friday.
It was his soul that was troubled,
not his nerves, in Gethsemane
The cup of suffering which he
dreads d w.as mori than
ing and nails. He was being ..re
jected . . . rejected. Not a friend
would stand by him All his work
would come to an end. He had
fought for time, but time was
running out. He had come to his
own, and his own people had not
received*him. He was God s last
word to men. and men had no re
sponse but thorns and a cross.
Other men have known rejection,
but none have known it as he
knew it. foi not anpthei man in
history came to this each svo full
of heaven as lie.
Cup of Sacrifice
The cup which ne dreaded was
also the cup of sacrifice From
earliest times, the Christian
church has read the story of Geth
semane and Calvary in the light
of the prophecy in Isaiah 5.1: "He
was wounded for our transgres
sions. he was bruised for our in
iquities." The weight of human
sin lay darkly on his so il. It was
not that in Gethsemane for the
first time this had occurred to i
him. Long ago he had spoken of
giving his life a ransom for many
The rejection of love is a sore
thing to bear: but to . feel the
weight of the sins of the world is
something of which we do not
even dare to think. He had always
identified himself with sinners and
with sufferers; but now he was
going the last mile appointed to
the suffering and the sinning. All
the pain and all the perverseness
of mankind fell upon him, a
smothering cloud which in a few
hours would even hide the face of
God.
"Not as i Will"
We must not accuse the Master
nf cowardice, not even of weak
ness. Horror there was indeed, but
a strong man may be filled with j
horror without being any the less
strong. Jesus did not turn to flee.
Yet it is quite plain, and we must i
not pretend it was otherwise, that
Jesus wished for some other cup
than this "Nevertheless." he said,
"not, as I will but as Thou wilt." |
We do not. know what other occa
sions there may have been when
Jesus knew that his own will was |
not as his Father’s will Yet if there
had been other occasi >ns his pray
er must have been ever the same:
Not as I will! Above all other de
sires, above even the desire to |
to fulfill his own will—a desire !
all the stronger, the stronger the
character is — was the overarch
ing desire 1o do the Father's will.
There were elements of Jesus’
suffering in Gethsemane which
set that, night off from all other
nights, and that strong soul apart
from all other souls. And yet 1
even in the mystery there is some- '
thing for us to learn. If the mas
terwish of our life is that our
own will be done, we shall come to \
frustration in the end But if
the overmastering wish is that
our Father's will be done, then
whatever our first desires may be,
our highest prayer shall still be
answered

Alone With My Conscience
"I sat alone with my conscience,
In a place where time had ceased,
And we talked of my former living
In the land where the years increased,
And I felt I should have to answer,
~ The questions it put to me,
And to face the answer and questions
Through all eternity.
The ghosts of forgotten actions
Came floating before my sight,
And things that I thought were dead things
Were alive with a terrible might.
And the vision of all my’past life
Was an awful thing to face,
Alone with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
And I thought of a far-away warning,
of a sorrow that was to be mine,
In a land that then was the future,
But now is the present time
And I thought of my former thinking
Of the ]udement day to be,
But sitting alone with my conscience
Seemed judgment enough for me
The above lines have always impressed me, and think
some Herald readers might appreciate them, I publish
them here.

Guest Editor
Dr. Robey Blasts Teachers C ollege
(From The Times-Register, Salem. Va.)
It has been said by more than
one observer that Teachers Col
lege at Columbia University has
tentacles which reach into the
school divisions of every state in
the Union. The alumni of Teach
ers College who now hold policy
making positions in our school
systems are legion
Roanoke College's Dr. Ashley
R took a well-aimed pm-shot ■
at the Teachers College products
'and then disciples' in his apear
ance before the Virginia Advisory
Legislative Council in Richmond
last month. We were delighted to
see his testimony received such a
prominent display in a recent is
sue of the Roanoke Times.
The, essence of Dr. Robey's re
commendation is: Throw the pro
fessional educators out and put
the schools back in the hands of
the educated. Wo are impressed
by m'H$ of what lie says In fact,
wc have been of similar opinion
on the subject for a number of
years.
ii is saa Dm true mat college
freshmen these days just can't
•read, write, and figure." Not so
long ago Roanoke College found
it necessary to furnish a course
in "remedial reading" for those
ilaving difficulty along tiuil Ime.
Such a course back in the early
days of Roanoke would have been
preposterous.
Dr. Robey bluntly confirms:
"There has been a progressive de
terioration in the reading ability
of students over the past 15
years."
For a number of years now the
college has also offered non-credit
course in basic algebra, simply
because a lot of the high school
graduates couldn't do simple mul
tiplication and division.
Why can’t these students read,
write, and figure? Dr. Robey says
its because the schools arc full
of teachers who are loaded with
"education courses but who know
nothing to teach." One professor
aptly put it thusly: They teach
you how to teach, but not what to
teach.
Why do our public teachers get
loaded down w i t h education
courses? Because the State De
partment of Education says a
certified teacher must have not
less than 18 hours of these sub
jects. Roughly, that is a total of
six education courses.
Ironically, our big colleges and
universities require absolutely no
education courses. Some of the
nation's finest teachers would be
unemployable in our public
schools because of this require
ment:. Obviously something is
wrong.
Fortunately. In Roanoke Coun
ty schools at least, we are blessed
with many fine instructors who
are doing first rate jobs. And Su
perintendent Horn is doing won
derfully well in replacing vacan
cies with qualified material.
Like so much of our school ciif

ficulty, the answer lies in Rich
mond. The hands of the local
school boards are securely tied by
rulings from the state capitol.
Naturally, since the state dispers
es the funds it should say how
they're spent. Vet, since we pay
the taxes, we should also see that
they're being properly adminis
tered.
We do hope that the entire em
phasis of "education courses"
shali soon undergo thorough ex
amination. It may be one way to
root out an answer.

This is a free country, even the

Anything to give humanity a up

Despite tin- protests from the

Allot Tobacco By The
Pound or Bv The Acre?
A proposal by United States Sena
tor Kerr Scott, of North Carolina,
to switch flue cured tobacco allot
ments to a poundage basis rather
than an acreage basis was mildly
approved f:om testimony of inter
ested growers at a meeting in
Petersburg Monday,
Approximately 125 farmers turned
out for the hearing which is the
only public meeting in Virginia to
be held by the Senate agricultural
subcommittee on the tobacco pound
age plan.
The subcommittee listened to the
testimony of it Southside Virginia
farmers- and the majority spoke in
favor of the program.
Sen. Scott called the hearing ‘'one
of tlie most tolerant I have ever
attended.”
John Vance, president of the Vir
ginia Farm Bureau, said he was in
agreement with the proposed legis
lation. and felt that most of the
members of the Farm Bureau would
“go along with the program."
The thoorv behind the proposed
legislation is to limit tin actual
number of pounds a farmer may
sell, instead of limiting the number
of acres he may plant.
As pointed out by those in favor
of the plan, it would allow the
farmer to raise the kind of tobacco
that will sell, instead of merely try
ing ot raise the most (in pounds)
per acre. By crowding the tobacco
rows closer and closer together, and
u. ::ig more and more fertilizer,
farmers have been able to raise
moie tobacco per acre, but the to
bacco is generally pale and without
the aroma wanted by the buyer.
Thus the tobacco goes into the gov
ernment support price pool.
Several of the farmers opposed
the plan because it penalizes per
sonal incentive and “subsidizes for
the lack of it."
Senator Scott told the larmers at
the meeting that they will be given
another year to study the program
befori it i; -en-d upon. It will be
voted on by a referendum. Scott
said each type of tobacco will be
voted on separately.
Another group that opposes Scott's
idea is the Little Farmers Protec
tive Association that was organized
February 28 at Chatham. They went
on record at that time “as opposing
Senator Scott's bill regulating to
bacco production by both poundage
and acreage.”
That group was organized to cor
rect what they called “flaws in the
existing system of allocating tobacco
acreage." They charged that federal
authorities have been unfair in dis
tributing acreage allotments and
have taken acreage from the small
farmer and given it to the large
grower.
Farm Questions of the Week
(Editor’s note: Herr are the
questions asked most frequently h\
\ irginia farmers during the past
week, as reported by county agri
cultural agents. Staff members of
tile VIM Agricultural Extension Ser\
ano-or Experiment Station supply
the answers.)
Q I have sorghum, corn. oats,
and barley. How can I best use
these grains for feeding hogs?
Should I feed for fast gams or for
slow gains?
A Peed a balanced ration made
up of a mixture of the grains with
protein supplement. Peed market
hogs for fast gains. Peed breeding
stock to keep them in a healthy con
dition. but not necessarily for fast
gains.
Q What can I do about the al
falfa weevil?
A Watch your alfalfa fields close
h\ and when most of the plant
tops shew some injury, apply in
secticides. Infestations vary l r o m
medium to heavy in infested areas
of the state now.

Seed Not Available
Until Next Year
Another new yellow corn hybrid -
VPI 8.53- has been developed at
VPI, and is being recommended
with kudos for all areas in Virginia
east of the Blue Ridge this season.
Dr. C. P. Center, agronomist, and
Dr. C. W. Roane, plant pathologist,
who cooperated in the development
of the new hybrid, say it has sev
eral advantages. Yields and slanda
bility have been good, and the
quality of the grain has been high.
I! lias good resistance to both leaf
blights and stlk rots.
In southern Piedmont, average
raid for the new hybrid has been
74 bushels, as compared to 87
bushels for VPI t,48. 78 for VPI 848.
and 87 for US 282A
In northern Piedmont, the new
hybrid has averaged 85 bushels per
acr. us compared to 81 bushels for
VPI 84., bushels for VPI 848. and
80 bushels for US 282A
In western and southwestern Vir
ginia. yields have also been high.
! Q -Is it. too late to topdress small
j grains? Is it time to spray small
| grains to control wild vetch and
! garlic?
A -Small grains should have been
topdressed in February or March.
To control wild vetch and garlic,
tpray after th£ plants have tillered
' but before they begin to joint It is
about time now.
Q What causes crimson clover to
die in spots?
A At this time of year, the trou
ble is probably caused by stem rot.
When warm weather comes the
. clover will grow back unless it has
been completely killed.
0—Should the alfalfa I seeded in
195(5 be topdressed this year?
If the alfalfa was seeded in the
fall on land of high fertility, top
d’Tssing may not be necessary.
However, generally alfalfa should
be topdressed each year.
Q- Is it too late to .seed oats?
A Yes, it is too late except in
the area west of the Blue Ridge
where oats can be seeded up until
April 10.
but one more year's testing wit! be
done before the new hybrid will be
recommended there.
VP I 053 s standability and quality
rf grain also has ben consistently
better than that of US 262A.
Medium plant and ear height, with
rather long slim ears and bright
yellow grain are characteristics of
VPt 053. It is of about the same
maturity as VPI 045 and VP 1040
medium early east of the Blue
ridge.
Ur. Genter said seed will not be
available commercially until next
year.

Missouri Congressman Suggests
New Look At Old I arm SVoblems
The nature of the farm problem
is being explored almost daily in
the Congress. Today we present the
views of Hep. Charles II Brown,
of Missouri.
Would you listen to a voice in the
wilderness for a moment?
For the last 15 years X have
visited with thousands of fanners
all over America That was the way
I mat
farmers, getting the story of their
operation and writing their case his
tories.
I do not profess to have any
magic answers to the farm prob
lem. and I have learned here in
V\ else ha
But could we restate a few funda
mentals here, ami s t ■ if they !:a v <■
any merit?
First of all. what this Congress is
trying to do here, apparently, is to
patch and plug a basic crop flexible
price support, soil bank farm pro
gram that has already been patched
and n patched too m'any times.
This is another law that will fur
ther complicate the network of com
plicated farm laws; when the truth
is the laws have been getting more
and more complicated as we go
along and more and more negative
in their cutbacks and controls. S >
complicated, in fact, that it now
takes a large army of employ -e.
in the Department of Agriculture to
police them.
The Government is now spending
a record $5 5 billion on a crazy
quilt farm pieman:, unci what has
it accomplished1 The greatest farm
depression since the 1920s.
Now, 1 submit, the real funda
mental we must face is that auri
culture can ao longer be controlled
by controlling six basic crops and
all the soil-bank adaptations and
ehything o far i . ha \ e
not changed that fundamental.
Talk all you like. I seriously ques
tion if we can ever make a smooth,
smart, jand saucy 1957 model out of
a 1938 agricultural program merely
by patching and plugging and re
painting the component parts. There
have been too many changes in ag
riculture since 1938 and we must
face the facts of life-. Twenty years
ago we did not have any dacron
and nylon or other synthetic fibers.
Cotton was a lot more basic 20 years
ago than it is today.
Twenty years ago you ladies were
not dieting quite so much. You were
eating a lot more bread, and. people
were buying flour by the 24-pound
and 48-pound bag. Down South they
were buying it by the 200-pound
in riel Wheat was a 18 more basic
tin n. And wind about corn ,
8 ne T wo - tiiinois-Indiana corn bloc
tells us that corn is just as basic
as it ever was that it is the whole
iife-and-death key to the livestock
and poultry production in this coun
try. But now just a minute, what
is the whi.ie story? Corn is jtist
about 50 per cent a's basic as it
was 2-i years ago and therein lies
the root of til. whole problem.
Twenty years ago the people in
the Corn Belt were producing a 20i>
! : ■: : o :h ,82 . i 2 i bu.-in ■ e;
corn. But they are not feeding that
way any more. They are produci ng
a 2iHt-pound hog with 12 bushels of
emu and loo pounds of protein sup
plement, soybean or cottonseed
meal. Now. which is basic, the corn
or the soybean and the cottonseed
meal?
On hogs, we have to face it that
the corn market potential has been
cut 50 per cent by changes in feed
ing methods I am not saying that it
was wrong. I am just saying let us
be realistic and recognize what has
happened.
Poultry rations today are made up
mostly of small grains, maiz.e or
milo because producers have found
both r 01 more' economical.
Less than one-fourth ot the current
dairy ration is corn. That is a big
change from 20 years ago
And whal about beef? The lab st
figures for n states, including the
rum Corn Rdf States show that
less than five per cent of the cattle
are fed anything hut grass and pro
tein supplement for as much as six
months, and less than 2,1 per cent
of the cattle in this country ever
see any corn for as much as three
months out of the year. Bv far the
: ■ ■ :
duo d in this country today is grass
fed. with a little cottonseed or soy
. .
months
I held a steak in one of the res
taurants on Capitol Hill the other
day and I guarantee that that bull
neve- saw an ear of corn. I think
he was fed on Johnson grass and
Jimson weed.
Changes m feeding habits ail over
the Nation and including the corn
belt have seriously reduced the de
mand fm corn m the past 2? years.

Veterans’ Children
May Be Eligible
For Higher Payments
With no eligible widow, the minor
children of a veteran who dies of a
service-connected cause after Janu
ary 1, 1957, may be entitled to
higher compensation payments than
were in effect before, the Veterans
Administration has announced
The term, “no eligible widow”,
applies: if the mother is deceased,
if the mother was divorced from
the veteran at the time of his death,
or if the widow subsequently re
marries or dies.
The higher payments were auth
orized by the survivor benefits act
which became effective January 1.
1957.
Provisions of the new law are
optional for children whose father
died of a service-connected cause
before January 1. However, it usu
ally is to their advantage to receive
the new benefit.
An exception to the general rule
are children who are receiving
servicemen’s indemnity, the so
called “free insurance" for certain
deaths occurring between June 27,
1950 and December 31. 1955, in
clusive. Such children may concur
rently receive both the old from of
death compensation and the service
men’s indemnity payments.
n mere is no engiDie widow, the
new rates of payment are: one
child. $70 monthly: two children.
$100: three children. $130: each ad
ditional child. $25. The total payable
Is divided equally among the chil
dren. The old rates are $67, $94.
$122 and $23 respectively. Guardians
of minor children must make appli
cation if the children are to receive
the new benefit, even though the
children already are on VA rolls.
Movie Guide
Prepared by Karmvillp Woman's
club motion picture committee
State Theater
''Friendly Persuasion” — starring
Gary Cooper and Dorothy McGuire,
is an excellent movie for the entire
family. The peace and plenty of a
Quaker family is shattered by the
Civil War. The film is full of charm
and chuckles, with conflict arising
in the family from the clash of
personal convictions. The belligerent
old goose. Samantha, almost steals
the show.
"High Noon"—with Gary Cooper
anti Grace Kelly, has been returned
at the request of many. If you
missed it before, here is another
opportunity to see this show.
"Oh Men. Oh Women"—D avid
Niven plays a funny and incompe
tent psycho-analyst whose own neu
roses keep nibbling at him to the
detriment of his work. When a
wacky patient (Tony Randall
blames his condition on the girl.
Barbara Rush, to wlifrin Niven is
engaged, the analyst is unable to
take his own advice. Ginger Rogers
and Dan Dailey further complicate
matters as a muddled pair seeking
advice. This is an amusing adult
picture, but not interesting to young
people and children.

Legend has it that, long ago, the dog
w'ood came into bloom on Calvary and
that, afterwards, a cross was implanted
into the flower itself, to remain for all
time. You can see it if you look closely,
rust brown against the white of each in
dividual blossom.
Many of us carry crosses, faint like the
dogwood's emblem but with us, never
theless. Somehow, in this Lenten season,
we become particularly conscious of
them and of our need for help—a certain
kind of help, that can be found only
through the things we learn in Church.
The Church doesn't pretend to banish
our cares and woes. But, its teachings
realistically consider the experiences of
life itself. No matter what our personal
cross may be, we seem able to bear its
burden with more strength.
Lent is a wonderful time in which to
begin making church-going a regular
part of your life—if you haven’t already.

can life.
At least six events are planned
for the Richmond celebration. These
will culminate in a ceremony com
memorating the landing of the colo
nists at the fall line of the present

IH Wind That Blows No Good
Time to Take a Look at School System
By NICHOLAS STANFORD
Correspondent. News, and Courier
Charleston. S. C.
New York—The hue and cry over
se; l egation in Southern schools now
bong raised by selfish special-inte'
e- ' groups calling themselves ''pub
lic opinion" may turn out to be a
blessing in disguise
Unless the South wants its schools
to become the sort of abattoirs now
found in Washington D C it will
sooner or later bo forced to a drastic
revision of its public-school system,
or perhaps the shutting down of pub
lic schools altogether.
Such a revision would give a
priceless opportunity to undo -nine
of ilu damage done by 30 year.- of
“progressive education."
Taken by and large, the U S
public school h a s two previous
faults:
■ I F does not educate its students
2 It is hostile to the American
trade .ai of free represent'iv|j gov
ernment, and in its teaching seeks
pi indoctrinate students with the
philosophy of collectivism
That public, school educational
Standards are Slipping has been
obvious fo'* a Ions time
In the Nov. 30 issue of U. S. News
and World Report. Prof. Arthur B< ■
tor of the University of Illinois, oik
of tlv* most outspoken critics of
modern “Educationism." asserted:
"We are less educated than the
nation was 50 years ago"
To New Yorkers, this was hardly
news. In a 1951 survey, of 1.135
tenth grade pupils tested in arithme
tic, only 24 per cent performed a1
tenth-grade level, three fourths had
less than ninth-grade abilitj and
nearly half had only sixth-grade
achievement.
Here is me very simple explana
tion of the "shortage of technicians"
about which so much fuss has been
made How can a nation be expects
to produce engineers and mathema
ticians if its schools do not teach
arithmetic?
Lamenting the decline in mathe
matics teaching and in academic
standards genera!! y. J. Donald
Adams wrote in thi New York
Tones' Book Review on fob. 10.
19,52:
"I am a product of the New Yqrk
City school system in the days
v la a it produc'd literate chirms
The t})’■<■• ■- year lug!) school course
•tlirma h which I passed at Townsend
Harr Hall. 199-1 to 1!«I7, gave the
equivalent. of what would pass for a
college education in many states
today
Standaids have been debased all
along the line, and not only in
arithmetic Why Johnny Can't
Read” became a besf-selle’' because
in plenty of American homes today.
Johnny actually can’t read, and p.n
cuts want to know why
Because the elementary schools
graduate semi-literates.
In his it 150 annual report to the
president of Columbia University
Dean William C. Warren of the C
lumbia Law School said; "The in
-
come to us. to read and write is
a malady of epidemic p-oportions
Thi- devastation of the U. S. school
system is the work of "Education
ists," not true educators That the
schools are not a great deal worse
than they are is owing to the real,
dedicated teachers who know how
to teach and who see "progressive
education" from the hollow sham
which li is.
These latter, however, are voices
crying in the wilderness, drowned
out by the propaganda of the "Edu
cationists." whose source and foun
tainhead is Teachers College. Co
lumbia University, and whose pa
tron saint is John Dewey.
Dewey’s teaching philosophy Uf
the opinions of so verbose a wind
jammer can be reduced to simple
terms was that traditional class
room discipline was unnecessary,
since children's "group censure"
would keep the refractory in line.
This is a real ivory-tower conception
bv a teacher at graduate-school
level.
Dewey evidently had never heard
of. for example. the Two Brick
Trick, which consists ol hurling a
brick through a classroom window,
quickly seizing the other and ex
claiming: "Sir. look what just came
in the window."
Dewey’s "pragmatism" would
throw overboard mankind's labori
ously-acquired body of knowledge,
students to learn by a sort of intell
ectual osmosis rather than by the
dogmatic statement that two plus
two is four. Stripped of the fancy
talk, j this boils down to learning the
hard way Students would discover
that fire is hot. not by being told
but by having their fingers burned.
Finally, Dewey h e I a that no
moral values are absolute; hence
the churches are reactionary insti
tutions which ought to be swept
away The Mosaic Law thunders
Thou shalt not;" Dewey says. “It
all depends on the situation.”
Such is the "progressive" philoso
phy which has made it necessary
:n many eighth-grade classrooms to
display the alphabet for students
who cannot yet read and write. "By
their fruits ye shall know them." de

dares a book which incidentally is
a better model of prose style than
anything John Dewey ever wrote.
The fruit of “Educationism" is. it
seems, illiteracy.
Although Dewey claimed not to be
a Marxist, his political orientation
was far left-of-center Similarly, the
collectivist point of view is expound
ed today in publications of the pow
erful National Education Assn, and
other professional publications.
For that matter, it is next to im
possible to get through an American
college today without being drench
ed to the saturation point in col
lectivist propaganda. E. Merrill
Root has made a report on this
topic which, although suppressed by
the New' York book-burners, ought
to be read by thoughtful Americans.
Its title is "Collectivism on the
Campus." If one's bookseller is a
Communist and claims the work is
out of print, it can be had direct
from the publishers, Devin-Adair.
