Farners ShouldInquire lataOpportaaitiesDavie County farmers look-

ing for an excellent invest-ment in farm productionshou'd inquire into the oppor-tunities now available throughthe Davie County Forester'sOffice under two new prog-rams" now in effect.

Davie County Forester PaulJ Bonardi, quoted a recentCONSERVATION NEEDSURVEY showing that "ap-proximately 45 per cent ofthe land area of Davie Countyis in woodland. Generally, thisarea is not in condition toproduce wood products to fillthe demand expected by theyear 1975. An expected 30per cent increase in demandfor forest products will haveto be met by the same, orslightly less, woodland acre-age. The present woodland ac-reage of Davie County willhave to be improved to pro-duce this additional wood."After this survey was made,the Southern Pine Beetle epi-demic hit Davie County. Nowour timber shortage is moreacute than ever.

To replenish our pine re-sources, the North CarolinaForest Service is operating acustom planting and hard-wood control crew. This crewis comprised of a crew fore-man, with five honor gradeinmates from the North Car-olina Prison Department. Thissystem enables a landownerto establish forest plantati-ons at much less expensethan would normally be incur-red using other hired labor.Loblolly pine is being rec-ommended to plant on dryersites, which may be oldfields, catover areas, or cullhardwood areas. Suitablehardwood species may beplanted on sites with goodsoil, however. Loblolly Pine isa very desirable tree speciesfor reforestration, both fromthe standpoint of timber pro-duction and farm beautifica-tion. It is relatively fastgrowing and relatively beetle-resistant. Federal cost-shar-ing assistance is availablethrough the A. C. P. programat the Mocksville A. S.C.S. Of-fice. Under this program, thelandowner is paid $14.00 peracre as the Federal Govern-ment's share of the cost inplanting trees. Up to $15.00per acre is paid for cullhardwood control. In addi-tion of the AC.P. Funds, spe-cial funds are availablethrough the Appalachian LandStabilization and Conserva-tion Program, for those whoseland is is the Dutchman Creekwatershed area. The A.LS.C.program will finance up to80 per cent of the cost ofpreparing land for plantingand for planting tree seed-lings. Anyone interested ingetting their woodland oropen land back into timberproduction may obtain addi-tional information from theCounty Forester at his officein the Davie County OfficeBuilding.

REV. GEORGE W. BOWMAN

"God k Alive"God is alive! This is a very radical statement in our con-

temporary world. The God is dead movement has flourishedwith many speeches and articles on this theology. One theo-logian states, "God died with Christ on the Cross."

The deciding point not given is that though Christ died hewas resurrected, and this is the basis of Christianity. Instead atGod being dead in Christ, he is alive through Christ.

Starting with the evening services of Sunday, May 8, 1966,at 7:30 p.m. and concluding May 15. 1966 at Jerusalem BaptistChurch the idea of a living God will be explored through theweek by Rev. George Bowman. Rev. Bowman is now servingas Assoc. Director of the Pastoral Care Department of NorthCarolina Baptist Hospital, Winston-Salem. He is the formerpastor of Faith Baptist Church, South Boston, Virginia. Hereceived his B. A. degree from the University of Richmond andhis B. D. degree from Union Theological Seminary at Richmond.

"God is alive." No one realizes this more than ReverendBowman in his work at the hospital. The alive God lets mir-acles be preformed through medicine as well as in our live*.This transformation of our lives will take place next week inthe revival services.

The Rev. Dick Denson is pastor of Jerusalem RapHjfChurch.
