LESSON FOR MAY 13
JE8U3 THE TRUE VINE.
LESSON TEXT—John 16:1-13.
GOLDEN TEXT-1 am the vine, ye are
the branches.—John 16:6.
This lesson chronologically follows
that of last Sunday. Christ had risen
With his disciples from the supper ta-
ble (14:81), and the remainder of his
discourse may have occurred In nn up-
per room, or in the courtyard of the
house before they left the city, or on
the way to the garden of Gethsemane.
I. THE ABIDING LIFE (vv. 1.4).
Under the flguro of the vine Jesus
tenches spiritual truth by natural
analogy. The vine Is composed of
roots, stem, branches, tendrils, and
fruit. There Is no separate life: the
branches are one with the vine. Christ
Is the head of that body which Is the
church to Its least member. The life
lived by the Christian Is Christ’s life
humanized, the purpose of which is
fruit bearing. Discipline Is In order
to fruitfulness. "He (My Father, the
vine-dresser) cuts away nny branch on
me which Is not bearing fruit, and
cleans every branch which does benr
fruit, to make It bear richer fruit”
(Moffat’s translation). Paul tells us
that “no chastening for the present
seemeth to be joyous but grievous:
nevertheless, afterward It yleldeth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby."
The Word Is the cleansing agent (17:
17). Verse four suggests a double
abiding—we In him, and he In us—
the branch depending upon the vine
for life, and the vine depending upon
the branch for fruit. Jesus had just
been talking nbuut his approaching
death, and his disciples were full of
anxiety. He tells them not to be trou-
bled. and by this figure assures them,
that, though he would leave them, he
would still be Joined to them. Al-
though they had been made clean,
they are taught that the only way to
keep clean is by “abiding," which Is
to bo continued through the eternal
spirit after his decease and ascent to
the Father. “It Is given to ns to hold
fCowshlp with both the root that
twines Itself about the cross and the
tendrils which stretch upward to
glory.”—A. J. Gordon. So long ns we
think of ourselves, and not of Christ,
as the source of power, we shall miss
the secret of fruitfulness.
II. The Fruitful Life (w. 5-8).
If we abide in him we will bring forth
much fruit. Note the progression:
“fruit," “more fruit,” “much fruit.” If
the branch does not bear frnlt it is fit
only for fuel (Isa. 27:11). “If ye abide
In me, and my words abide in you, ye
shall ask what ye will, and it shall be
done unto you” (v. 7). Our first fruit
is to glorify God (v. 8). The vine does
not consume the fruit which It pro-
duces, though it does exist for its pro-
duction, thus glorifying God through
Its frnit-bearlng function. The Bible
uses many figures to illustrate the In-
timate relationship between root and
fruit. “Without me,” emphasizes
Christ, “ye can do nothing.” The
“word” of verse three Is equivalent to
the word “I” of verse four. "Now ye
are clean through the word which
have spoken unto you” (v. 3). Our
fruit bearing Is for God’s glory be-
cause it is an expression of his grace
and power, and It is made possible
through our identification with his
dear son. Our fruitfulness attests our
Christian character. We have not yet
attained perfection in our conduct, but
we are making progress. Progressive
deliverance from the power of sin is
counterbalanced by corresponding
fruitfulness.
III. The Permanent Life (w. 9-13)
“Fruit," "more fruit,” "much fruit.’
Even aa the life of Christ has increas-
ingly manifested itself through the
ages, so our individual lives are to
Increase In the fruitfulness which as-
similates them to his character and
expresses his graces. As the Father
has loved him, so has he loved us, und
this love he communicates to those
who abide in him. The evidence of
cur abiding Is manifested by our Joy
in keeping his commandments, just as
he delighted In keeping his father's
commandments. Obedience and joy
are correlated terms. The fuller the
obedience the greater the Joy. Bush-
nell. said: “Heaven is nothing but the
Joy of a perfectly harmonized being
filled with God and his love.” Instead
of mlnnte, detailed instructions re-
garding their conduct, the disciples
are here presented with love, the gov-
erning principle. Love wus to be the
one sufficient impulse for both divine
and human relationships. Our Lord
would have the world know his serv-
ants by the fruit they bear.
Three things are mentioned as re-
sulting from the abiding life; power
to bear much fruit; transform lives
and change circumstances through an-
swered prayer; and fullness of joy—n
“Joy unspeakuble and full of glory."
The world with Its poor counterfeits
has nothing like It to give, but nil of
these gifts are contingent upon our
“abiding" in Christ, the source of ev-
ery blessing. The personal pronoun
suggests peculiarly intimate relation-
ships; "My Father,” (vv. 1, 8, 10);
“My love," (v. 9); “My disciples," (v.
8); “M)r .commandments,” (v. 10);
“My Joy,” (v. 11).

Cotton Crop’s Food Value
(By Clarence Dubose)
It seems strange to speak of cbtton
as a food crop. Such a statement is
surprising, and almost sensationally so,
to the average individual. Most per-
sons, even those whose lives have been
spent in the greatest cotton producing
section of the earth, and who have
been familiar with cotton always, re-
gard it merely as a great cloth-produc-
product; the cotton oil men of the
state simply agreed that cottonseed
flour should be described by the man
who has devoted his life to the de- -
velopment of what others call the by- croPs o an°
products and he calls the main pro-
ducts of cotton. Colonel Allison has
refused to patent or copyright the
process. It may be used by anyone, he
says.
Cottonseed flour, as it is called,

serious consideration to its food value.
But there are exceptions. Some
people do pay a great deal of attention
to the possibilities of cotton from a
standpoint of food value. And the
most notable exception—the man who
is a pioneer in this work and who to-
day is probably the most indefatigable
enthusiast of cotton as a food crop is
Colonel Joe VV. Allison, chairman ol
the bureau of miblicity of the Inter-
state Cotton Seed Crushers’ Associa-
tion, himself a life-long cotton planter.
"Cotton is not only a food crop, but
absolutely one of this country's great-
est food crops," said Colonel Allison.
"I realize that this is not generally
appreciated and that the statement may
sound extreme, hut nevertheless it is
literally true and the people of the
South should become alive to this truth
and realize what a wonderful food crop
they have in cotton, which they have
not been accustomed to list as a food
crop.” •
For illustration, Colonel Allison cal
culates that the seed from a bale of
cotton will make, on an average, 300
pounds of cottonseed flour (for human
use); that this flour has about five and
ne-lialf times the food value of wheat
Hour, or equals about 1,650 pounds ol
wheat flour.
As to the practical possibilities
cottonseed flour production under
.sting conditions, Colonel Allison
authority for the statement that the
live cottonseed oil mills of Dallas could,
within ten days, be producing cotton-
seed flour, should the government di-
rect or request them to do so.
In short, the point he thinks the
people, and especially the people of the
South, should hear in mind is that
back of the bale of cotton and the cloth,
explosives and various materials it will
yield, there also exists barrels of flour
for human use as well as meal and
hulls for animal leed and the oil pressed
from the seed.
Personally, I have for years been
regarding cotton as a food crop, with
the lint as a by-product,” said Colonel
Allison. "Calculations will prove that
the food products from 1,000 pound:
of seed (representing a bale of cotton)
when carried to the highest form
finished food product, including flour
and lard compound, are worth nearly
as much as the lint cotton itself.”
It should not be inferred that Col-
onel Allison is advocating less atten
tion to other food crops. Quite the
contrary. But he does urge that while
the South is preparing to enter upon
the greatest of all food production
campaigns, the people should appre
ciate and make use of the food value of
cotton. He urges that all food crops
he produced as abundantly as possible
and that in addition cotton be consid-
ered as a food crop.
SOY BEANS VALUABLE
As a part of what may be termed
Colonel Allison's “cotton as a food
crop" idea, he includes extensive pro-
duction of sov beans, a crop that now
is a negligible factor in Texas, and
much greater production of peanuts, a
crop that within the last few years has
spread rapidly over the state, especially
in the sandy land sections.
Both soy beans and peanuts are
crushed by cottofi oil mills, yielding oil
and vegetable fat products, meal for
stock feed or flour for human use.
3oth soy beans and peanuts as well as
lield peas make very fine hay for all
around stock feed. They make good
forage crops. Futhcrmore the peanut
is successful on land that has been
"cottoned out,” the soy bean is consid
ered one of the very best soil rebuild-
ers and the pea varieties are well known
as soil rehuilders also.
Considering these crops in one con-
nection—"the South’s food production"
—and assuming the proper utilization
of the food value of cotton, extensive
production of soy beans and increased
production of peanuts and peas, the
conclusion reached by Colonel Allison
is that the South will see a transforma-
tion; that it will become the greatest
lood producing section of the earth
and the greatest dairying section of the
earth—and that these foods will,' very
largely, bring this about.
With regard to cottonseed flour, or
Allison flour" as it is called in honor
of the man who first made it in 1876,
in Jackson, Tenn., there has been no
commercial manufacture of the pro-
duct to any great extent. There (s
only one mill in Texas producing such
flour in a commercial way, although in-
dividual mills have made it from time
to time for limited consumption. For
forty years Colonel Allison has been
producing this flour for his family use,
and says during all that time cotton
flour has been almost a daily article up-
on his table, in the form of bread, cake,
etc. The name is an honorary one, in-
dicating no proprietary rights in ths
and fat, as compared with 11.73
patent wheat flour, 23.0 in fresh eggs
and 17 to 25 in meats. In other words,
it is claimed that the flour has a nutri-
tive value over five times as great
wheat flour, three times that of lean
beef and from three to thirty times
that of various frequently used articles
of food. As a health food it is said to
have virtuous properties that experi-
ments have caused to be'well recognized.
For general use cottonseed flour
mixed with wheat flour or corn meal,
as wheat flour contains a large amount
of starch, while cottonseed flour is over
50 per cent protein. A proportion of
20 per cent Allison flour and 80 per
cent wheat flour is said to contain as
much nourishment as eggs or meat, al-
though it is much cheaper than either
eggs or meat.
Inquiries as to why Allison flour has
not been more generally manufactured
usually bring explanations to the effect
that cottonseed oils mills have had
steady demand for their output at all
times; that having a steady market for
their products there has been nothing
to induce them tu turn their attention
to producing another product from the
raw material.
As has been stated, Colonel Allison
believes Dallas mills could be produc-
ing cottonseed flour in ten days from
the time the Government would
quest that to be done, and he says that
within a very short time mills every-
where could be manufacturing it ex-
tensively, thereby releasing vast quanti-
ties of wheat and corn that now go in-
to flour and meal.
In that connection a very in-
teresting "food preparedness program"
calculation has been made by Dr. Tail
Butler. He estimates that there are
6,500,000 horses and mules in the
eleven cotton states; that if each of
these animals were fed two pounds of
cottonseed meal per day it would re-
lease four pounds of corn from their
usual daily feed of about fourteen
pounds; that 200 days of such feeding
would release 100,000,000 bushels of
corn for human consumption.
He further estimates that the feeder
can save 7c per day on each head of
stock—four pounds of corn costing 11c
and two pounds of cottonseed meal
costing 4c.
In circulars being sent out it is sug
gested that this plan of feeding be fol-
lowed and also, as an economic and
patriotic duty, that soy beans and vel-
vet beans or peas he planted now with
all corn that is planted.
Considering further the animal feed
value of cotton, the following protein
and fat percentages are presented: Cot-
tonseed meal 48 per cent of protein
and fat, standard mixed feed 23 per
cent, alfalfa hay 16.5 per cent, wheat
bran 19.4 per cent, corn meal 13 per
cent.
The soy bean, however, surpasses all
of these as an animal feed and is listed
by the United States Bureau of Plant
Industry as having 53.42 per cent of
protein and fat, while the peanut tops
this slightly, with a proteio and fat per-
centage of 54.75, according to the
same table.
An analysis of the food values into
which cotton is divisible, made by Col-
onel Allison, is to this effect: Taking
1,600 pounds of seed cotton (the basis
for a bale of lint cotton) there is left
1,000 pounds of cotton seed after gin-
ning. This will yield about twenty
gallons of crude oil and 18.5 gallons of
refined oil, which makes 139 pounds of
refined oil and which is equal, in food
value, to 207.5 pounds of hog lard.
These seed also yield about 450 pounds
of cottonseed meal, equaling in food
value 900 pounds of corn, or sixteen
bushels of corn. Or, instead of the
meal, this can be converted into 300
pounds of cottonseed flour, equaling in
food value about 1,650 pounds of wheat
flour. There will also be about 250
pounds of hulls—and, of course, the
lint cotton and linters, which have no
food value, but go into cloth, ammuni-
tion, etc.
In other words, the seed from a bale
of cotton represents in food value 207.5
pounds of hog lard and about 1,650
pounds of wheat flour.
Again, it is interesting to consider a
statement of John T. Ashcroft of
Flortnce, Ala., secretary of the legisla-
tive committee of the Interstate Cotton-
seed Crushers' Association. He quotes
bulletins of the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, which say cotton-
seed oil has a food value of 4,080 ca-
lories per pound and digestive availabil-
ity of 97.8 per cent, while butter has a
food value of 3)490 calories and digest-
ive availability of 77.5 per cent.
Mr. Ashcroft urges the South to
produce 12,000,000 bales of cotton this
year and to produce 50,000 tona of
peanuts. Such a cotton crop, he says,
will mean 3,800,000,000 pounds of
cottonseed meal and 2,400,000,000
pounds of hulls, to be combined into
feed. The amount of peanuts named
will produce, he estimates 35,000,000
pounds of peanut oil (food value
4,080 calories per pound and a digest-
ive available of 08.3 per cent) and 60,
000,000 pounds of cake, with 10,000,-
000 pounds of nuts left in the ground
to be harvested by hogs and 100,000,000
pounds of peanut hay.
Men who have studied the situation
urge, as a paramount need, the plant-
ing of soy beans. This crop is today
in the position the peanut crop was in
Ttxas a few years ago—an experiment,
"a new thing,” a departure from the
old order. But it is earnestly believed
by men who have devoted much study
to the crop that it is destined to be
wonderful future in Texas and that
will assume front rank among the food

LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN TIME
Didn’t Matter to Old Darkey In Ken-
tucky Whether Watch Was Regu-
lated by 8un or Railroad.
A prominent lawyer tells this tale
of the hilla of Kentucky. He had
been In Jackson during the hearing
of a big land case, and after the
strain of several weeks In the court-
room had decided to take a trip up
In the mountains and enjoy the quiet-
ing Influence of the hills. He trav-
eled the paths and narrow mountain
roads till he found himself at the
end of several days’ Journey about
forty or fifty miles frem the railroad.
It was about noon, the lawyer judged,
for his watch had run down and he
could not be exact But In the midst
of this deep contemplation the law-
yer came npon an old darkey sitting
upon a bowlder alongside the road.
“What time have you?" he asked
of the old darkey.
“Well suh, boas, the old Water-
berry says she's about 10 minutes to
12,” was the reply.
“Is that sun time or railroad time?"
again questioned the lawyer.
What dlffunce does that make?
