Bad Grasshopper
Infestation May
Threaten County
Reports coming to the County
Agent G. R. Schumann’s office
indicate a serious grasshopper in-
festation for Young County may
be in prospect. One farmer from
west of Newcastle reported Mon-
day that he had 10 grasshoppers
now compared to each one that he
had last year and stated that the
young hoppers were damaging
his wheat. Other reports coming
in from various parts of the coun-
ty indicate that hoppers are hatch-
ing in large numbers in various
portions of the county, and several
checks which have been made by
the County Agent and numerous
young hoppers were found in mak-
ing these checks.
In expectation of a hopper in-
festation this year, preparations
for a control program through the
use of poison bran mash have been
made by the County Agent. One
carload of peanut hulls, supplied
by the Federal Grasshopper Con-
trol Service, has been received at
Graham, and was stored at the
Fair Grounds sometime ago. A
carload of bran is now enroute to
Graham, and as soon as this bran
is received, the County Agent will
be in position to supply Young
County farmers and ranchmen with
poison bran mash. Last year some
300,000 pounds of bran mash was
used for grasshopper control in
the county, Schumann reported.

TREES
By Rev. John W. G. Hill
Cumbreland Presbyterian Church
It is a rare soul that does’ not
appreciate trees, for trees are a
refuge and strength for both man
and beast, as well as a dwelling
place for the birds. Great trees,
strong and healthy, straight as can
be, towering into the skies, are
beautiful to behold, and are in-
spiring to the soul.
Let us make a few comparisons
of trees. There are trees that bloom
and send forth their beauty and
sweet odor, such as the Dogwood,
and the Sweet Magnolia. Then
there are trees that send forth an
odor from their bloom that is
not the least bit fragrant. We see
also that some trees just- don’t
bloom at—least we don’t recognize
it as such. But we rather prefer
the sweet smelling tree.
Then there are trees that have
great foliage, which the sun in all
its strength does not penetrate.
Others have little foliage and as
a result are not greatly desired.
There is the tree that has a
smooth branch, while others have
thorns upon them. Automatically,
we do not like the thorns, for they
prick the fingers and tear the
skin.
Another observation: the mes-
quite doesn’t try to be like the
oak, nor the elm like the pine,
neither does the hackberry try to
be like the peach. Each are con-
tent to be just what they are.
There is no sham, pretense, or
liftiness. They’re just trees—each
doing its God-given work, and
making its contribution to the
world it lives in.
Now those trees that tower the
highest, send their roots the deep-
est. The storms come and go, but
they’re anchored safely, for their
roots go deep and wide. They wea-
ther the storms, some standing for
hundreds of years.
It was the Psalmist who said
about the Godly man, “He shall be
like a tree planted by the rivers
of water, that bringeth forth his
fruit in his season; his leaf also
shall not wither, and whatsoever
he doeth shall prosper.” I wonder
if we have not already been com-
paring our liyes (not the life of
someone else) to that of the tree?
If so, how do we stand?
Can we compare our life to the
great tree which pushes its head
up into the heavens, straight and
strong, or is our life like a gnarled
and twisted tree, pock marked by
the sins of life?
What of the fragrance of our
lives, Are they who contact us
refreshed by our presence, re-
gardless of the condition? Or are
we like the tree when it is bruis-
ed (we would say “get our feelings
hurt”) emit such an odor and ran-
cour that they would not care to
seek us out again?
I want to compare the foliage
of the tree to that of spiritual
graces. Some people seemingly are
abundantly blessed with spiritual
grace. Others have little upon
which they can rely. They who
have the abundance are beautiful
to behold. They can give shelter to
the wayfaring soul. They can be
a quietness to a storm tossed life.
Their very life radiates peace. But
the little —foliage small graces.
Not numerous. Not very apt nor
able to render service. Just such
as they can. (Now let’s don’t say
“I haven’t any more, because I
was not meant to have them, just
like the tree”) For Grace comes
from God, and we can cultivate it
and it responds in more graces.
Now are you always pricking
people with catty remarks? With
evil words? If so, don’t be sur-
prised when people begin to shun
you, and do not invite you into
their midst. Their ideals are not
on that low a level.
Do you try to be somebody else?
'If so, whom do you endeavor to
imitate? It is well to fashion our
life like unto that of some great
noble man, especially that of the
Son of God. But what of the sham,
and pretense of your life? If you
are going to fashion your life into
a greater life, fashion it like that
of Jesus, “who went about doing
good.” Otherwise, some day you’ll
be aroused to the fact that your
acquaintances smiled and winked
behind your back.
When the storms of life set in,
can you weather them? Do you
have that spiritual strength and
fortitude, or will you topple over
for lack of good rootage?
Now Christ is able to make you
that strong, healthy, fragrant, beau-
tiful and fruitful life, whenever
you will submit self to Him. That
is the test.
