State Farmers Adjusting from Crop Routine Farmers in all parts of Neb raska are returning to their lo cal Farmers Home Administra tion county officers for credir that will help them take up bet ter farm practices and make ad justment from cash-crop farm ing to disversified systems, Er nest Frisch, the agency's Stats Director, said this week. Farmers who have deoended almost wholly on cash crops in ront wore o ro Vo rmpcr mnct recent years are the ones most in need -of farming adjustments, he said. They find they can set up a sound system of farming by switching to diversified pro duction on their farms. Many are looking for credit necessary to put in livestock enterprises to go along with their crops and are expecting to develop good pasture for their livestock. This type of adjustment usually takes i a few years for completion. Many operators of cash-crop farms say they are held back from making the adjustments iO.' 1 ir fir . i J Mr. and Mrs. Joe John, and Mrs. Mata Amick of Weeping Water, and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gcbleman, of Union,, were here Monday evening to attend the dinner party of the Cass County Salon of the 8 and 40. , Miss Nora Kennedy, left Wed nesday for Kansas City, Mo., for a visit with her brother. .

If these costs cannot be handled bv other local private or coop erative credit, and if the pro posed farming systems are sound, the Farmers Home Ad ministration has funds for pro duction or adjustment loans. In addition, many farmers needing loans for only a year, or .emergency loans in designa ted areas, are finding the credit they need at the Farmers Home Administration county offices. Lon term loans for purchasing or developing family-type farms are also available, either as di rect or insured farm ownership loans. Loans for irrigation wells and equipment to insure tfrop production have been made in the dry areas in Nebraska. A special program of loans to stockmen hard hit by drought ' conditions is also administered by the agency. These loans are to help farmers remain in nor mal production of cattle and sheep..- No matter what type of cred it is sought, Farmers Home Ad ministration cannot approve ap plications rom farmers whose credit needs can be handled by private or cooperative lenders. Tn eight months following June 30,1953, production or ad justment loans have been made to 764 farmers in Nebraska, Mr. Frisch said. During that period, the agency has made 53 farm ownership or improvement loans 68 water facilities loans and 4 special livestock loans to Neb raska farmers. Police Court Meter violation Leonard D.

Journal Want Ads Pay Bible Comment: The Great Contrast Between Society And Christianity "pAUL once summed up what Jesus had said and taught by saying, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." There, in a sentence, is the contrast with a world whose daily life largely concerns the business of getting. 1 Men try to soften that contrast by talking about "enlightened self-interest," and by emphasiz ing the advantages of a free, competitive system. Certainly the system is more advantageous than any other system which society has devel oped and it should not be sacri ficed for any system of totali tarianism. But the contrast between -the best that society has developed and what the coming of the kingdom of God would mean is , sd great as to raise the question whether Christianity can really be made to work in a Christian society. It is obvious that the noblest Christian lives, such as those of the late Jane Addams and Gren fell Labrador, are lived upon the basis of something higher than the profit motive. But it is equally obvious that the "businessman, when he goes from his church on Sunday to his business on Monday, has to make a profit or go out of business. It is also obvious that we are all, in a way, parts of our en vironment and subject to at least . some of its limitations. ' So, in a sense, our problem becomes that of putting into a world still so largely un-Chris-tian as much Christian living as we can. i One might compare Christians to those living in a house while it is being made over. There is no world to which we can move out, while the remak ing process .goes on, and much adaptation is inevitable. .Yet great, effective transformations can be made if the Christian goal and the Christian purpose axe never forgotten.
