HARVESTING OF OATS
IN FULL SWING HERE;
OTHER CROPS GOOD
These are busy times for
farmers in the McGregor vicini-
ty. In every direction, workers
j are in the fields harvesting the
j oat crop, which are turning out
far better than first anticipated.
In fact, it is estimated the
crop this year is around 80 per
cent normal over the past ten
years. The quality is good,
with an average yield of 40
bushels, of the oats that have
already been harvested. Some
crops have yielded from 50 to
60 bushels.
Price of oats on the local mar-
ket Thursday morning were
bringing 80c pep**wfeushel for
feed oats, while seed oats were
selling at 85c per bushel.
Every available worker is al-
so in the cotton crop getting it
free of grass and weeds. Cot-
ton, as a whole, is a good stand
and growing off nicely. Bor-
rowing insects, this year’s cot-
ton crop might turn out to be
a bumper crop.
Corn could not look better,
and in some fields has begun to
tossel. Farmers are indeed feel-
ing good over present outlook
; in all crops for this year.

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH A NATION
Soloman made the following statement in Prov. 14:34,
“Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any
people.” To all clear thinking people, the truth of this state-
ment stands out. History is .Tilled with proof of its truthful-
ness. It is time that we as a community, state and nation
realize the same. It is difficult for us to remove the love of
money from our minds, ant} Paul says this is the “root of all
kinds of evil, which some reaching after have been led astray
fr'om the faith, and have pierced themselves through with
many sorrows.” I Tim 6:10. Some men will do anyhting for
money. Paul lists the lust of the flesh in Gal 5:19-21 at, “for-
nication, uncleannesSj, lasciviousness, idolatry, sorcery, en-
emities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions divisions, parties,
envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like;” he then
adds, “of which I forewarn you, that they that practice such
things shall not inherit the kingdom of heaven.” He have
in our own city much too much of these things, and many
that are “glorying in their shame.” Phil 1:19. We need more
men like Joshua of old who without respect of cost said, “as
for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” Josh 24:15.
