Agriculturally, we need a vision.
Agriculturally, we need a revival.
Agriculturally, we need to gather under an old brush arbor and start putting our
heads together, seeking a solution to problems.
We don’t profess to know EXACTLY what interpretation the theologians put
on the above verse. Speaking secularly (and respectfully), we DO say that it FITS
like a glove the agricultural situation in which we now find ourselves! Speaking
agriculturally, we don’t have (and have NOT had) enough vision!
We are still tied TOO MUCH to tradition—the way “dad” did things.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
Proverbs 29:18

Our people will either have (get) a vision or we will PERISH.
The Scriptures are not to be contradicted. We don’t want to twist their mean-
ing to suit our ends. We don’t think we have. WE BELIEVE that “Where there is no
vision, the people perish”—agriculturally and otherwise!

If it is—then count us with the “visionary.” We are ready to stand up and be
counted. We are ready to take a stand. We are ready for a vision.

cares—is the best medicine of all.

Washington Bawdy Icy Woman Says It
■ Crime Capital, Says Was Like Death
CHICAGO, Ill.—Mrs. Dorothy Mae j
Stevens, Chicago’s “deep freeze”
woman, said Monday that her ordeal
of being frozen stiff was “just like
being dead.”
For all she knows she was dead,
the 23-year-old, Negro said, but the
Lord snatched het. back to life. .• .
Mrs. Stevens1 is: recovering ' from
being frozen tq a'body, temperature
pf 64 degrees, lowest in medical his-
tory. ' She literally was frozen stiff
when she lay all night in an. alley/in
' sub-zero weather Feb. 8.<
' Now; twenty-five days later, Mrs.
; Stevens said in a.bedside interview
; at Michael Reese Hospital:
“I1 might have'been dead. I guess
it was just like being dead: Bqt the
good Lord just didn’t want me to
die” .
Mrs. Stevens,. whose recovery has
astonished doctors, wasn’t so sur-
prised .with her “comeback.” The
husky, 5-foot 3-inch patient thinks
she’s getting well because she’s got a
“strong constitution.”.
Mrs. Stevens will probably have
to stay at Michael Reese Hospital an-
other two or three months.
Letters keep pouring in. One, from
a Negro woman’s club, invited her to
recuperate as its guest in Florida.
But Mrs. Stevens wasn’t sure what
she’ll do after her release. She said
she wants to settle down with her
husband, Johnny Stevens, who works
in a mill supply company.
Doctors still are not certain she

Unseen Voices
A psychiatrist was testing the
mentality, of a Negro soldier. “Do
you ever hear voices without being
able to tell who is speaking or where
the voices come from?” he was asked.
“Yes, suh,” answered the Negro.
“And when does this occur?”
“When I answers de telephone.”

Fundamentals, of course, don’t change. Ways of doing things, however DO
change!
Is it being too “visionary” to think of our farmers establishing a profitable ag-
riculture on COTTON, CLOVER, CATTLE, CORN, HOGS, POULTRY, DAIRYING?
Is it “visionary” to begin to think of “Grass” farming as against “row crqp” farming?
