THE NY SS A GAJE CITY JOURNAL. NYSSA, OREGON PAGE FOUR The Happy Farmer By C la r e n c e N lc r u m "Pride commeth before a down fall” . Maby so but we are getting sort of "chesty" over at our Com munity Church. The faithful old “Saints” may be the backbone of a chuch but nevertheless a group of young people is always the life of a church. A dead church has an awful time trying to stand upon its backbone. We now have a young peoples group, under the leadership of Shir ley Price, that is realy going places. There is a larger group of young people for their 7:00 oclock Sun day evening meetings now than we used to have for the entire preach ing services. Say can anyone begin to notice a change in things? I got up this morning before the sun did for once. The atmosphere seems to smell different. All spring its been planting, planting, planting. We plant in faith and with hope. Hopes that the great giver of all good gifts will be very charitable with us this year. By the way many of us dont realize what the original word “cha rity” meant. To Webster, charity means to give to the poor, needy or helpless. "Relief” . My Bible gives it different. “Love” . Paul says "Tho I sell all that I have and give to the poor," "Tho I give my body to toe burned, and have not "oharlty” it profiteth me nothing.” Charity is kind, patient, long suffering— Oh! Lets skip it. That kind of stuff is hard even on some "Backbones". Getting back to the early morn ing atmosphere. Its beginning to smell of harvest. The early birds are digging their spuds now. Some farmers second cutting of hay is beginning to blossom, most grain fields are turning golden. "Heap high the farmers wintery hoard, Heap high the golden corn, v o r''her gift has Autumn poured rrom out her lavish horn. la st year In our fair little city the elevator and all other available storage space became filled up be fore the grain crop was all hauled in. This year there will be much more grain than last year. Guess we will Just "Heap” it high. The Ontario elevator has been sacking and plleing it out in a huge pile for several years. They don't suffer any great loss. In a few days now combines will be buzzing all ar ound us. The acreage of grain isn't what it used to be back in '38 and '39 but now instead of getting an average of around 15 or 20 bu. per acre we roll out crops like 60 bu. of Wheat and 80 bu. of barley. We still have the same elevator we had then and we now have the "car shortage” too. "And the desert shall bloom like a rose”. These hundreds of little groups of fruit trees grouped ever-so-far apart all over here where a dozen years ago was a desert of sage brush. To see them bending over with heaps of peaches, apricots and what not. And all the fields grin ning with a bountiful prospect for all kinds of crops. This district is going to turn off an unheard of sugar crop this year. The farmers learned something about weeds last year. Many of them had to take the mower and cut the weeds be fore they coud harvest their beets last year. Most farmers has their beets clean this year. If you let the weeds get a good toe-hold they will sure grow. This soil will sure grow em. A neighbor here sort of got slipped up on.
