The 1958 tobacco market is, for all practical purposes, a memory Except for those buyers who were able to capitalize on a thoroughly confused situation, it leaves some very unpleasant memories in Lan castei Countv Some folks called this years leaf buy ing “crazy ’’ Looking back over it, they are piobably right But then, it wasn't much different than any other year Buyers scurried about, spreading low bids and fear with alacrity Farmers stewed, fussed, worried, fidgeted and finally sold, knowing full well their crop was worth moie. but they wouldn’t get a higher bid So one of the largest, highest quality leaf crops m history w r as consigned to the warehouses, often at ridiculously low pi ices An experienced observed was heard to remark that buyers have often claimed an auction svstem wouldn’t work in “this kind of market ” He then snorted, “Sure, an auctidn wouldn't work in this type of market, be cause if the farmers had an effective auc tion—you wouldn’t have this kind of mar ket You’d have one that made a little bit of sense ’’ If an oigamzation was established foi the pm pose of operating a tobacco auction, it would meet resistance Possibly from other farm groups jealous of their stand ing and influence Possiblv from farmers who “don't believe in such things ” But DEFINITELY from apathy and the geneial feeling of the tobacco glowers in this countv Too many farmers aie content to sell their goods below their v alue, because it is the easy way How nmch simpler would it be to list the crop with a Tobacco Exchange, spe- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ $ , * 5 Jr - A \ % j Davidson One ol the loin basic freedoms sian government whether we oi our dcmociac\ the freedom would be peimitted to establish , . . a Mmilai piopaganda agencv in of the piess is being used in nQ hjd tta-hmgton in an open and aiow- bof>n 10C civcd <il plot to dcslrov a form oi go\ Meanwhile the led mill con -11 hincnt which piolects that hec- tinues to operate lull blast within dom sight of the While House under The Russian government has same Ii acdom granted the hia/enh moved into Washington American press, but denied these c huge coips of highly tiamed &dnle propagandists in then own HThfa FimirP?

Enough to establish a market and keep it steady? Would it be possible for farmers to to contract their crop through such an auc tion, with an escape clause freeing them from their obligation if less than a speci fied percentage of the county crop was signed up 9 Such a contract, signed in the spring or summer, would give an auction group legal backing if consignees backed out at the last minute, while protecting the farmer from being the sacrifice on a very limited listing When time came to sell, farmers would know if enough of the crop would be auc tioned to provide a solid market The auc tion group would have protection against another fiasco Without doubt, there are complications in such a system, but could it be any crazier than the present one 9 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lancaster Farming Lancaster County’s Own Farm Weekly Allied C Alspach Publisher, Dan McGrevv, Editor, Robert G Campbell, Advertising Director, Robert J Wiggins, Circulation Director Established November 4, 1955 Published every Friday by OCTORARO NEWSPAPERS, Quarry villd, Pa - Phone STerlmg 6-2132 or Lancaster, Entered as Second-Class matter at the Post Office, Quarryville, Pa , iv"der Act of March 3, 1879 Subscription Rates $2 per year, three years $5, Single copy Price 5 cents.

If it had been left to him there would have been no gospels for he seems to have taken vei -t little interest m the personal ca ieer of Jesus < Nazareth. But there must have been many early Christians who kept asking: Did Jesus do any thing in thi r woild but die If he was a 'teacher what dih he have to sav ’ Ur. Foreman Where did he live, and how ' Who weie his fnends and his enemies''' What did he do or say that mad< some people hate him enough t< kill him ? What did he do or say that made other men believe he was the Son of God 1 ’ The hrst three gospels were all written to answer such questions It is these gospels that will be thr source-material for the lesson used by the eighty-plus denomina tions using the “international" lessons. They will be studying the One m whom we all are one The World The spotlight of mtei est in the gospels is, of course, Jesus himself. The gospel writers do not include long chapters on historical backgiound, as we might wish they did, for the fiist readers knew the background vci-y well, they were a part of it. Luke, how ever, piles a lot of pioper names into his third chapter, as if it were anchoring the gospel story in the general story of history, the story of mankind The gospels are about a real person who lived m a real world. You could have followed him around with a movie camera.

Most of them then, as now, lived outside of Palestine But all Jews to some ext"rt and the Jews of Palestine intensely looked forward to a New a time when God would “re deem his people” as thev put it; that is, when God would not only “restoie the kingdom” to Israel 'ut wou'd make Jerusalem the center snd. capital of the whole woild in an age where *ll the best dreams and hopes of the piophet* for an age of righteous- 1 n"! »nd -justice and paace would come true Center of this hope was the' “Mesaiah” or “Christ" (two words. mem,n» the same thing), who m same way—they were not clmw just how—would start that Naw Age and be its amparer forever., T<t Sttry The gospels taM.

In these stones he comes alive as a his torical Pei son. Across the cen turies the question comes to mod- 1 ern as to ancient man: Here hi Jesus: are you for him or against him?
