these three Hebrew children de-
nied the command. They wrrs
not afraid to go contrary to the
king’s commandment.
In Daniel 3:17 we see the rea-
son they were not afraid. They
had faith In Ood. Today the
world commands us to walk in
Its way. It puts pressure on us
if we do not walk hand in hand
with Its way. The king put pres-
sure on these three men. He
said he would heat the flrey
furnace seven times as hot as It
was ordinarily heated and then
cast them In. This did not even
phase these men of Ood, for
they stood on their faith in Ood.
Then they were cast into the
flames that were so hot that
they consumed the men that
threw the three In. Now, the re-
sult of their faith Is shown.
In Daniel 3:35 King Nebuch-
adneasar looks Into the furnace
and sees not three, but four
men, and the king said the
fourth man looks like the Son
of Ood. Immediately they are
called forth out of the flames
and there Is not even the smell
of smoke on them (Daniel 3:27).
We see here because of their
faith that Ood walked with
them In time of need.
I wonder how many of us to-
day are walking by faith as we
live this life. How many of us
will stand contrary to the world
when it commands us to serve
Its gods? Ood Is the same Ood
today that walked with the
Hebrew children, and He will
walk with all those that walk
In faith.
There are those of you that
cannot walk In the faith be-
cause of your unbelief. The Bi-
ble says In John 3:16 “For Ood
so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten Son, that
whosoever belleveth In him
shall not perish, but have ever-
lasting life." Won't you believe
today? Jesus said In Matthew
7:13-14 “Enter ye In at the
strait gate; for wide Is the gate
and broad Is the way that lead-
eth to destruction, but narrow
Is the way that leads to life."
Which way are you on? How are
you walking?

TEXA8 SOILS
AND CORN PRODUCTION
Although Texas Is not com-
monly considered a major corn-
producing state, soils and cli-
mate conditions over much of
the state lend themselves fav-
orably to corn raising.
This Is particularly true of
certain corn hybrids which have
been developed in recent years
to perform under specific soil
and climate conditions. Last
year, Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Stations In each potential
corn-producing region of the
state conducted crop tests with
such corn hybrids to determine
which were best suited for each
region.
Designated as “corn perform-
ance tests,” these planting ex-
periments were conducted at 21
locations under dryland condi-
tions and at two locations under
Irrigation. Weather ' condition*
during the growing season were
highly favorable for com pro-
duction In moat areas of the
state with the estimated 1958
average yield of 26 bushels per
acre the highest on record.
For crop-testing and other
purposes, Texas land resource
areas — areas having related
soils and similar climate—are
divided into 14 sections, includ-
ing the East Texas Tlmberlands,
Coast Marsh, Coast Prairie,
Blackland Prairies, East Cross
Timbers Plain, Edwards Plateau,
Rolling Plains, High Plains and
Trans-Pecos.
Corn performance tests were
conducted In the Coast Prairie
region at Angleton, Prairie View

Mount Pleasant and New Bos-
ton; the Blackland and Orand
Prairies at San Antonio, Mart-

Oregor, Waxahachie and Green-
ville; the East Cross Timbers at
Denton, the Rio Grande Plain
at BeevlUe (dryland) and Wes-
laco (irrigated), the North Cen-
tral Prairies at Stephenvllle and
the Rolling Plains at Chllll-
cothe.
In the Coastal Prairie tests,
yields and Angleton and Prairie
View were curtailed somewhat
because of lack of moisture dur-
ing May and June and the test
at Cleveland was seriously dam-
aged by insects. However, com
hybrids named Texas 34, As-
grow 102 and Texas 30 produced
the highest average yields In
this section. Texas 34 and 30
are especially adapted to this
area because of their superior
resistance to Insects and dis-
eases.
In the East Texas Timber-
lands — which produce about
one-fourth of all Texas corn —
Funk G710AA, Asgrow 102, Tex-
as 28 and 30 produced highest
Average yields.
In the Blackland and Orand
Prairies, where com production
Is often limited by shortage of
summer moisture, tests were
irrigated once at San Antonio
and Martinedale to Insure pro-
duction. Asgrow 104, Texas 28
and 3<) produced highest yields
In tills’ area. In the northern
area of this section, the test at
Greenville was loat by lack of
moisture and yields at McOreg-
or and Waxahachie were cur-
tailed by Insufficient moisture
and at Denton by Insect Infes-
tations. Asgrow 104 and Texas
28 were top-yielding hybrids in
the area.
In the Rio Grande Plain sec-
tion, com Is a relatively unim-
portant crop except for a small
area. In the Irrigated test at
Weslaco. Dixie 82, Texas 28 and
Texas 32 gave the highest yields.
The Beevtlle dryland test show-
ed Texas 28. Conrad 7 and Tex-
as 36 to be highest yielding hy-
brids.
Although some corn In grown
on the eastern edges of the West
Cross Timbers and Rolling
Plains, com Is of minor import-
ance in these areas. Yields at
Stephenvllle and ChUUcothe
were curtailed by Insufficient
moisture during May and June.
Texas 28 and 32 produced high-
est yields In this region.
persons or persons age 65 or
over may freeze their social se-
curity accounts. However, your
social security benefits are bas-
ed on your average earnings af-
ter 1958 or after 1950 which-
ever is to your advantage. In
computing your average earn-
ings, we may disregard 5 years
of your lowest earnings So even
if you do not earn anything
from 1959 to 1964 when you will
be age 62, we may disregard
those years and base your av-
erage on your years up to 1959
In effect, this will give you a
freeze.
Question: I am a farm opera-
tor and my 16-year-old son has
a 4-H Droject which will clear
him abo^t $600 this year. Is he
self-employed?
Answer: Yea. If your son op-
erates an activity such as a 4-H
or F. F. A. project all by him-
self. he Is self-employed. If his
net earnings amount to 5400 or
more in year, he must file an
income rteturn and pay the so-
cial security self-employment
tax regardless of his age.
