CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
Thanksgiving Day services are
held by the Mother Chifrch, The
First Church of Christ, Scientist, in
Boston, Massachusetts, and its
branches throughout the world. The
order of service includes the reading
of a Lesson-Sermon on the topic of
“Thanksgiving.” Opportunity is also
afforded those present to give testi-
monies of gratitude appropriate to
the occasion.
The Golden Text is: “Offer unto
God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows
unto the most High: and call upon
me in the day of trouble: I will de-
liver thee, and thou shalt glorify
me” (Psalms 50:14,15).
Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: “Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and
he will dwell with them, and they
shall be his people, and God himself
shall be with them, and be their
God” (Revelation 21:3).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the Chris-
tian Science textbook, “Science and
Health with Key to the Scriptures”
by Mary Baker Eddy: “Truth’s im-
mortal idea is sweeping down the
centuries, gathering beneath its
wings the sick and sinning. My
weary hope tries to realize that hap-
py day, when man shall recognize
the Science of Christ and love his
neighbor as himself—when he shall
realize God’s omnipotence and the
healing power of the divine Love in
what it has done and is doing for
mankind” (page 55).
Methodist Society Has Bible Study
The Woman’s Society of Christian
Service of the Methodist Church met
Monday for the first lesson in the
new Bible study book, Mrs. W. L.
Osborn in charge
There was a splendid attendance
and the lesson was very interesting.
School of Missions
Beginning Sunday night at the Training Union hour, and continuing
through Wednesday night, a School of Missions will be held at the church.
Charles Culpepper, Jr., son of one of our missionaries to China and a min-
isterial student at the Seminary in Fort Worth, will teach the Young Peo-
ple and the Intermediates. Rev. Culpepper will wear a Chinese costume
and will display curios during the course of study. Sunday night, he will
preach at the Evening Service.
Mrs. W. P. Coleman, of San Antonio, will teach the women in the
School of Missions. She is at present President of the Associational W.M.U.
for the San Antonio Association.
George Lewis, formerly of the Paul Bell School in Bastrop and the
Seminary in Fort Worth, is now a missionary under the Home Mission
Board and is stationed in Uvalde. Mr. Lewis is to teach the men.
The Juniors will be taught by a local teacher.
The book to be studied is, “These Things Remain.” Copies may be
secured for twenty-five cents.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights the School of Missions
will begin at 7:30 p. m. and will dismiss at 9:00 p. m. Let us all plan to
attend each night, taking advantage of this opportunity of learning under
these very capable teachers.
* *♦ *
Seventeen are at the Training Union Convention at Fort Worth this
week. They will bring reports of the trip Sunday night.
classification Include biennial and
perennial legume* or graaaea, cow*
peaa, soybeans, mung beans, velvet-
beans, sweetclover, ryegrass, Natal
grass, lespedeza, crotalarla and win-
ter legumes.
Other crop* include 1941 fall-seed-
ed small grains not harvested for
grain, with the exception of wheat.
If the oats, rye, barley and small
grain mixtures are cut for hay, they
must be cut prior to the dough stage,
the AAA official explained.
Thick-seeded sudan not harvested
for seed, sweet sorghums or millet
for pasture; peanuts hogged-off;
planting forest trees, and green man-
nure and clover crops, also meet ero-
sion-resistant requirements, he said.
The AAA chairman also pointed
out that all fall-seeded crops must be
seeded in the fall of 1941 to apply on
the 1942 program.

Cotton acreage allotments,
strengthened by marketing quotas,
which made 85 percent of parity
loans possible, is the triple reason for
increase in the price of cotton this
year, according to W. G. Crr, chair-
man of the Zavala county AAA com-
mittee.
Collapse of foreign markets, a
drastic drop of from 6.2 million
bales to 1.1 million bales in exports,
and enough cotton on hand at the
present time to fill an extra year’s
needs, highlight the cotton situation,
he said.
The loss of foreign markets is par-
tially offset by the fact that the do-
mestic consumption of cotton for the
1940-41 season is the highest on rec-
ord. Consumption was approximate-
ly 9.6 million bales, or about 2 mil-
lion bales above the preceding year,
the AAA official said.
Since the export slump is due pri-
marily to naval and war blockadaa.
there la little reason to believe that
the expoll market will Increase to
any great extent, he declared.
For the fifth consecutive year, cot-
ton farmers of Zavala county will
vote in a national cotton marketing
quota refemdum Saturday, Dec. 13.
Voting places, located at strategic
places in the county, the names of
refemdum officials will be an-
nounced in a short time, he said.
Last year, Zavala county cotton
growers voted 98 percent favorably
on quotas. Texas farmers approved
quotas by 88 percent.

Get your farm machinery in A-l
condition now and be ready for next
year’s food production pledge, W. G.
Orr, chairman of the Zaavla County
USDA Defense board, said this week.
“Getting farm machinery in good
condition now will be a safeguard
against unnecessary delays and
breakdown of machinery during the
busy farming season,” Mr. Orr said
in pointing out that defense produc-
tion will probably overload rail-
roads, truck lines, express companies
and parcel post system next spring.
OPM has asked for a drastic re-
duction of steel for civilian needs be-
cause of the unprecedented quanti-
ties needed in the manufacture of
guns, planes, tanks and bombers.
Sufficient steel has been set aside for
repair parts of farm machinery, the
chairman explained.
All farmers of Zavala County are
asked to check their machinery and
order all necessary parts by Jan. 1.
By this method, manufacturers will
have a sound, practical idea of the
quantities needed for repair parts.
If parts are not available, farmers
should notify the county defense
board, he said.

COUNTY AGENT’S COLUMN
(Continued from page 1)
Weathers, Daniel Towell, Elton
Thompson and Jessie Adams.
A marketing cooperative, named
the Texas Certified Hybrid Corn
Seed Breeders’ Association, was set
up recently at Waco to serve its
members in selling their seed to
Texas farmers. Robert M. Harper,
seed breeder of Martindale, was
named chairman of an organizing
board which was instructed to obtain
charter under the Farmers’ Co-
operative Marketing Act.
According to C. E. Bowles, organ-
ization and cooperative marketing
specialist of the A. and M. College
Extension Service, the association
for the present probably will con-
fine its activities to disseminating
correct information regarding hybrid
corn. Under its charter the coopera-
tive will be permitted to warehouse,
process, package and market hybrid
corn seed for its members when
these services are desired.
•At present 20 Texas farmers are
producing hybrid corn seed, with a
total of 458 acres in 1941. Growing
conditions have not been favorable
and the total supply available for
planting in 1942 probably will not
exceed 6,000 bushels after it has
been rigidly graded and culled,
Bowles says.
The Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station has furnished the par-
ent corn to the breeders. The State
Seed and Plant board make field in-
and wore a white robe and carried a
large white lighted candle. Follow-
ing were: Joy, Peace, Love and Sal-
vation, represented by Mesdames
Gardner, Pegues and Aldridge, re-
spectively, each carrying a lighted
candle, and wearing her “name”
painted on the streamer across front.
Mrs. Henry Jeffrey led in prayer
for all of our light-giving work in
dark Africa. The group sang, “The
Light of the World Is Jesus.”
Those who took part in the pro-
gram gave the epilogue also, taking
the parts of Homes, Schools, Hospi-
tals and Churches.
Mrs. Brennan led in prayer th^t
the light of the Gospel may shine
with increased brightness in Nigeria
and in all Africa.
A brief business session conducted
by the president followed the pro-
gram. After discussing plans for the
W. M. U. program in December it
was voted to have an exchange of
gifts to be given to children of the
town who may not otherwise be re-
membered at Christmas time.
The meeting was closed with pray-
er by Mis. J. H. Hardy.
The program was presented by
members of Circle Two, and mem
bers of Circle Three were hostesses
with members of Circle One as
guests. Pumpkin pie, coffee and
grapes were served to t’.venty-one
members. *
spections and furnish certified tags
only after rigid requirements a
met.
At College Station and at four Ex-
periment sub-stations hybrid corn
produced from 10 to 30 percent more
than the standard varieties of corn.
Texas grown hybrid exceeded those
from the corn belt at all station tests.
Some of the disappointments from
hybrid corn have resulted from
planting seed grown outside of the
state which is not adapted to the cli-
mate of Texas.
Members of the board other than
Mr. Harper ' are B. F. Chapman of
Temple; Oran W. Cliett of San Mar-
cos; Paul Welch of Austin and L. L.
Chapman of Rosebud.

To earn his full AAA payments in
1942, a Zavala County farmer must
do three things.
First, he must devote at least 25
percent of his land to erosion-resist-
ing crops or land uses at some time
during the program year, Second, he
must plant within his acreage allot-
ments. Third, he must earn his soil-
building allowance.
These three points were empha-
sized by W. G. Orr, Chairman of the
Zavala County AAA committee, this
week.
A farmer falling below the 25 per-
cent minimum requirement will earn
only a proportionate part of his cot-
ton wheat and peanuts payments.
The sail-building allowance may
be earned, as in previous years, by
carrying out approved soil-building
practices, the AAA official ex-
plained.
Payments for planting within al-
lotments include (Indicate payment
