CHRISTIANITY
wise man will always
Christianity reveals God as ever-
present Truth and Love, to be util-
ized in healing the sick, in casting
out error in raising the dead.—Mary
Baker Eddy.
Christianity is not a theory or
speculation, but a life; not a philos-
ophy of life, but a life and a living
process.—Coleridge.
After reading the doctrines of
Plato, Socrates, or Aristotle, we feel
Christian, because the perfection of that the specific difference between
wisdom is to know where lies tran-j their words and Christ’s is the dif-
quilitv of mind, and how to attain it, fcrcnce between an injury and a
which Christianity teaches.—Landbr. j revelation.—Joseph Parker.
He who shall introduce into pub- i Christianity is the companion of
lice affairs the principles of primi- liberty in all its conflicts- the ciadle
tivo Christianity will change the facejof its infancy, and the divine souice
of the world.—Benjamin Franklin, [of its claims.—De Tocquevillo.

EXTRA HOLIDAY WORKERS
MUST HAVE SOCIAL SECURITY
ACCOUNT NUMBER CARDS
Many boys and girls will soon be.
if they are not already, working af-
ter school and on Saturdays in local
stores in order to help the managers
serve the public during the ap-
proaching holiday season. Each and
every one of these new employees
must have a social security account
number. No doubt many of the peo-
ple who will be working Jim year
secured account cards last year for
the same purpose. They should still
have them. They are just as good to-
day as when issued, in fact they are
good forever. Those who have pre-
served their original cards should
use them. Workers taking employ-
ment for the first time should apply
for the account cards. The social se-
curity account number must be given
to each employer.
Social Security account cards may
be secured from the San Antonio,
Texas Social Security Board field of-
fice without charge. In case a worker
lives some distance i >m the field
office, an application form may be
secured at the post office and when
properly filled out, mailed to the So-
cial Security Board office. The
card will be returned to the appli-
cant promptly.

made by a Cretan about 2,000 years
ago. A copy now lies in the archaeo-
logical museum at John Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore. It is called the
Phacstus disk, and was found on the
Island of Crete by an expedition
many years ago.

ihis page is printed here as
a service to all farmers and
ranchers of America. Together
with you producers, we have
a big job to do in the busi-
ness of feeding this nation of
ours well.
A short time ago I was talk-
ing about improved methods
with a farmer. He said, "The way I look at it is this
—what helps agriculture helps all of us.”
That Ls it in a nutshell. What helps agriculture
does help all of us—producer, meat packer and proc-
essor, retailer and consumer. So the purpose of this
page is to tell in a few words and many pictures
about all manner of things that do help agriculture.
We hope that by searching out news items, telling
of new trends, big or little, reviewing findings of
agricultural experiment stations, by recounting the
experiences of successful individuals, and in many
other ways, we can render a worthwhile service to
all who produce our nation’s food.
The Editor will be F. M. Simpson, who is already
well known to many of you as Manager of our Agri-
cultural Research Department. He
your suggestions and original ideas.
is the Editor—but it is your page
make it a useful one.
A Merry Christmas to you all!

CANVAS COATS FOR SHEEP PAY OFF
Range lambs grazing in mountains and valleys,
fashionably dressed in ducky little white duck
coats sounds more like a pipe dream than a prac-
tical possibility for sheep growers. However, in
an experiment at the University of Wyoming,
coats of 15-ounce canvas were tailored to fit half
of a flock of 684 range sheep. The fleeces were
carefully compared at shearing time and the
"coats” proved their worth in a big way
more clean wool per fleece; 6.8 per cent less
shrinkage; 13.5 per cent less dirt content; and
the staple was a full half-inch longer than on the
sheep that wore no coats.
This adds up to extra wool profit no matter
how you look at it. In addition, the coats pro-
tect the sheep from cold weather, wet, sand,
dirt, burrs, stickers, and reduce death losses and
feed consumption. Wool from the coat-wearing
sheep compared favorably with the best white
Australian wool.

“Right eating adds life to your
yamre, and year« to your life.**
These six Americans are united in the job of see-
ing that 132,000,000 fellow Americans get enough
of the right kinds of food to eat. The rancher,
farmer, meat packer, retailer, housewife and sci-
entist, each has a part in the preparation and
distribution of meats and other foods.
Feeders of livestock know that diet has a lot
to do with the health of their animals. It is the
, I
same with human beings. There is a great deal
of research being conducted at the present time
in our universities to find out more about the
relationship between diet and human health, and
Swift & Company gives many grants to aid this
kind of research.
Not so many years ago a lot of people said meat
was hard to digest; that children should never be
given pork, etc. Nutritionists have proved that
pork is one of the most digestible of all meats,
rich in Vitamin Bi. These and many other basic
truths about meats and other foods have been
established by the work of nutritionists. You can
readily see why such discoveries help the sale of
meat and of livestock. That is why we say—
"Nutrition is our business—and yours.”

Ex-Farm Boy Knocks’Em Dead
Maybe you've heard the epic story of "Zeke” Givan. "Zeke”
was a farm boy from Dearborn County, Indiana—until he
enlisted in the Marines. His first big show was at Kwaja-
lein. The Japs started to rush him, and "Zeke” started to
shoot. When the shooting stopped, those present were
"Zeke,” one red-hot Browning Automatic Rifle, and 35
dead Japs. "Zeke” says modestly, "I did nothing except
my duty." Later he was wounded at Saipan. We’ll sny that
like many thousands of other farm boys, in and out of the
Service, he is doing his duty extra special well.
Does lots of wool on the
face and legs of a sheep
and a wrinkled skin
help to make a more
valuable fleece? No, says
the U. S. D. A. Sheep
with wool over their eyes
produce fleeces of lighter
weight and less value
than open-faced sheep.

SOFT CORN FATTENS LIVESTOCK
by I. B. Johnson. Director
Agricultural Experiment Station,
South Dakota State College
If you are caught with "soft”
com, due to a sudden freeze be-
fore your corn matures- remem-
ber you still have feed. It makes
a good fattening feed for steers,
/. h. Johnson calves, feeder pigs, and lambs.
These were the conclusions of the South Dakota
Experiment Station, based upon the first year’s
feeding trials, wherein cattle, hogs and lambs fed
soft com were compered with others fed sound com
of No. 3 market grade. The soft corn was bought
at 50 cents a hundredweight—the No. 3 com at
75 cents a bushel.
No preparation was given to this soft com. It
was stored in uncovered piles on the ground, and
fed field run—soft, molay, rotten, husk-covered
ears just as they came.
Yearling steers were fed for 150 days, calves 195
days, pigs from §7 to 118 days, Iambs 90 days.
In ALL cases the return was greater from the lots
receiving the soft corn, due to the price at which the
corn was purchased.
The gains of both cattle and pigs on soft corn,
compared to those on hard com, were reduced after
the beginning of warmer weather in April. It is
advisable to feed your soft com early.
In figures, the soft com had the following approx-
imate values when compared with the price of No. 3
ear com in the rations fed:
U% whin M to ysarllng .toon
BRJB or Son fod to staor calvoo
7t% whan tod to food or pigs
n% whon tod to too dor lambs
