The U. S. D. A. in Action
in Cass County
The U. S. [D. of Agriculture
touches Cass county perhaps more
than any other department of the
government. They are the spear
head of the attack on rearrange-
ments of our agriculture which has
been sometimes described as more
critical now than it was tn 1835
after the civil war.
The theory is: "As the farmer
prospers, so prospers the nation."
If Adam Smith was right in his
"Wealth of Nations" in which he
said all wealth springs from the soil
it behooves the department of Ag-
riculture to see that the farmer
does have a fair share of the na-
tional income.
Important changes involving all
the programs of the Department of
Agriculture that effect land use
were announced today by Sec.
Henry A. Wallace. The changes,
are the first in a series of changes
the department is making in order
to get more conservation of soil
forestry, and .human resources
through complete coordination of
the Departments land use and rehi-
bilitation programs.
Land is tillj[wearing out faster
than we can restore it. Sect. Wal-
acesaidin announcing the pro-
gram changes. "We are making
substantial progress toward conser-
vation, yet we realize that all we
done is only a start in the right
direction. As a Nation we have
not yet Bucceded in holding our
own in conservation battle.
Changes put into effect are: F.
S. A. Changes:
Almost one farmer in ten cooper-
ating in the Farm Security Admin-
istration's rural rehibilitation pro-
gram. Aid is given needy farmers
through loans and guidance in
farm management. The futuTe
FSA supervisiors will give special
attention to soil conservation prac-
tices in drawing up management
plans for borowers.
its borrowers obtain longei'-terrfl j former message, the preacher un-
and better written leases. j dertook to show that to follow the
Backed up by written leases ofjniirages of "Rank Materialism,"
Sensual Pleasures" and "Piactical
Atheism" is to follow it mirage, in-
deed, with which he can never
catch up or lind the things .neces-
sary to the happiness of his soul.
In the latter message the preacher,
taking up where he left off in the
morning, attempted to show that
the soul can't be without and still
be contented, happy and do it's
best. The Love' of God, shed
abroad through the blood of His
Son on the Cross. Fairly good
size crowds heard the messages. It
is a source of keen regret to the
pastor that so many seem to be en-
tirely satisfied with themselves if
they attend the morning services,
leaving the preacher and evening
worship program to "chance," to
get whom he can to play, sing, and
so on. Well, friend, if God is sat-
isfied with that kind of service, I
shall not complain. I do doubt,
however, if that is God-honoring
service.
The Pastor plans to preach both
hours next Sunday on "The Same
Jesus, which is-4aken up from you
into heaven," Acts 1:10-11. Hear
these messages. You will never
get away from them. Bring your
friends.
Mrs. Mattie Jackson, Mrs. Cooke,
Jamie Alice and the Pastor went to
First Baptist Church in Marshall
last Sunday afternoon to' hear
Johnie Cohen lecture on conditions
as he found them during a recent
trip to Europe and "The Old
IWorld." Brother Cohen is a Chris-
tian Jew and has been rather prom-l
inent among Southern Baptists fori
quite % while. Also, the Olives
and Cookes went to Texarkana
last Saturday night to hear another!
Jew, JHyman Appelman preach.l
He is a Jew that can really preach
Jesus. If ever you have opportu-
nity, don't fail to hear this man.
Now, folks, seriously, let's "get
in there and pitch!" Let each
[teacher and officer work in earnest
lall this week that we may have a
full house next Sunday, we have
set at least two low records this
months, smallest average attend-
ance in S. S. and the smallest offer-
ings. For the first time since this
pastor has been on this good field,
it is necessary for us to take a
"catch-up" offering. Our treasury
is simply depleted and we have un-
paid bills. I know it is not pleas-
ant to discuss in the public light,
but it is the truth and we had just
as well face it, eh? You can help
this situation a lot by making a
liberal "catch-up" contribution. |
At our regular business meeting^
Feb. 7th, we plan to discuss our
revival. Discuss a change in time,
should it be felt that it is best to
change from March 10 24. Also
to discuss help for the meeting.
We are anxious to have you in this
meeting to help in this meeting to
help in this important matter*
Be seeing you!

up
more than one year, tenant farm-
ers can afford to employ conserva-
tion practices for their own as well
as their landlord's benefit. Sur-
veys have shown for example that
tenants With one years leases Sel-
dom make use of cover Crops, an
important conservation practice
almost everywhere.
Some 125,000 needy families will
take part in the F ISA's grant pro-
gram by 1940. Hereafter when-
ever feasible grants will be made
under agreements requiring bene-
fitted farm families to to approved
conservation work on their farms.
Through its Joan policies FSA
will encouragc crop diseracation.
No loans will be approved for gro-
wing only one cash crop. This
policy is expected to popularize
crop rotation as it effects - Cass
county.
One other important FSA change
will be to help farmers to get a
farm that is a'.complete or adequate
economic size so that it will make a
profit.
AAA Changes:—The AAA pro-
gram for 1940 places more empha-
sis on conservation than last years
program, according to information
reaching Cass County agent R. L.
White. Payment quotes have
been revised as announced Nov. 28
1939. This is done to encourage
the better use of conservation
measures, normally not carried out
on a large number of farms.
To do this4within the limits of
available funds it was necessary to
decrease credits for seedings and
other common .conservation prac-
tices for which payments have been
in the past.
Under another new provision
farmers on small farms may earn a
minimum payment of $20.00, Any
farmer can earn an addition $30 by
planting a specified number of for-
est trees.
The Sec. of agriculture has an-
nounced £a program of growing
legume seed in the State of Oregon
and} Washington for the use in the
deep south to be used for conserva-
tion and the growing of green
manure.
The Soil Conservation service is
broadening its work to render ser-
vices to ever widening groups of
farmers.
The F orest Service is co-operat-
ing withithe|FSA to rehibilitate
farmers removed from the area by
the purchase of their lands for
National Forests.
The Key parts of a cordinated
program ol the USDA falls to the
Bureau of{Agricultural Economics
and the Extension Service. These
two agencies have undertaken to
lead a co-operative land use plan-
ning program involving farmers,
local administratcrs of the Depart-
ments Land use program and the
educational facilities of the County
agent.
Through these cha nels it is
hoped to get co-ordinated plans
combining the plans of farmers
with special information from the
land grant colleges experiment
Stations and the departments.
loved,
He drew the masses to him. Jesus
had a longing in His hfcart or eve-; an<
ry one. He sympathized. Can
we be christian and not be in sym-
pathy with all? 1 doubt it Jesus
saw human need and met the need
The naked the cold, the hungry
and the lost all had His sympathy.
Jesus saw a scattered people. His
heart went out to them. People
are today scattered like sheep does
your heart go out after them. Is
my heart touched by huma ities
needs? Do I sympathize? Do I
love?
Jesus sav sin in all its blighting
effects on human life. To'feel sym-
pathy is not enough, we must let
our sympathy and love for1 others
be seen and felt. We can see some-
thing is wrong in the world. How
do we feel about it. What are we
doing to right the wrong. Are wg
following in his footsteps. If so,
we love and feel for others. Jesus'
love for us led him to the cross.
He died that we might live. He
stretched out a helping hand.
Many beautiful thoughts of life
come from jesus. Down through
the ages people have helped be-
cause they love. Our usefulness is
measured by our love.
Evening services—Rev. L. D.
Nichols, Presiding Elder preaching
he read for scripture lesson 11th
chapter of Job. Text, If Iniquity
dwell in thy hands, put it far away
and let not iniquity dwell in thy
midst. Theme, The Fatalistic
Tendencies of the Times in which
we Live. Theme, Hope. The last
Ray of Light in a troubled and
disparing world. We are today
held in a fatalistic grasp of inse-
He healed, curity. Nothing seems seeuj^-
any mora. The wealthy feel inse
euro. The poor are living a ragged !
insecure life. All are lilled
with doubt, but still there is hope.
A world without hope is a dead
world. Keep your hope alive. We
are hoping for and need some type
of security. Some who are in posi-
tion to know say the whole world
is to be in war. They sty London,
Paris, Berlin are doomed to utter
destruction and that when this
happens, we. will almost unconsci-
ously throw our full force into war.
There is no individual nor national
security. Some predict that the
time is irtuir when no one will urge
peace. The entire world is today
fighting for alignment with others.
Let us hope this is not true, but
still we can but know there is no
security. The world today is like
an instrument with but one string
left, that the string of hope. Let
us preserve and play that one
string. A spirit of hope will sus-
tain, a broken spirit without hope
we cannot endure. The world to-
day is almost a world of broken
spirit. Not a secure nation or peo-
ple in all the world. Germs of de-
struction are abroad. We must
retain hope, the last string, the last
ray of light. Let us play the last
string, the string of hope. Our lives
are not supremely happy, but hope-
ful, the one thing that sustains us.
Some are fighting against odds, but
hope sustains. We should carry
our message of Christ and hope to
all the world. Hope is our only
guarantee of security. We should
hope more. We owe much to reli-
gion. It sustains here and pre-
serves to the end. Christ's King-
dom is coming. On this I rest my
hope. Accept Christ's program of
life and hope on.

BAPTIST CHURCH
With partial relief from the grip
of the severely cold weather and
the recovery of some of our people
who have been ill with Influenza,
Sunday School attendance took an
upward swing last Sunday. We
had some twenty-eight increase in
attendance over the previous Sun-
day. We were grateful for seven
visitors and two new members.
Also, it was good to see the faces of
several who have been out for even
several weeks. There are, however,
quite a number of our people still
sick. Our superintendent, W. S.
Daughety, and several teacherr
were out, due to illness last Sun-
day. The Superintendent has been

I sanctify myself that they might

ed many beautiful characteristics of
life. There is a reason for t hese.
We ought to find the reason. As
we study the life of Jesus. Let us
think of the life He actually lived
while here on earth. First we think
of his sympathy. A sympathy
deep and abiding for all men. This
was one of the outstanding traits
in the character and life of Je^us.
He understood humanity and its
needs. Great multitudes fallowed
Jesus. Jesus knew liow to aud did
weep with those lie lovct'. His
