ned about market gluts not recent con
cern about eggs and pork and millions
of persons abroad go to bed hungry each
night, shipment of U.S. agricultural pro
ducts abroad is a logical step toward bring
ing together supply and demand.
This is not to minimize the problems in
international trade.
Despite the problems, it would appear
that the export market offers real potential
to those segments of U.S. agriculture in
need of new and expanded markets.

3. Eggs do not have the new customer pull
ing power of some other types of adver
tised food.
When Cham A advertised a special
price on eggs, egg sales of Cham B which
did not advertise, were not affected. (At
lanta 2-v ear Stud>)
Adv ertised egg sales increased egg
movement from 20 to 100 per cent without
increasing customer count as measured b>
number of machine tapes. (Central New
York Study)
4. Achertising a specific grade, size or
brand of eggs increases all egg sales.
(Atlanta Studx)
5 Egg sales increase the week preceding
food-associated holiday.
The etfect of Easter on egg sales is well
known Sales for Christmas ma\ be equally
good But Thanksgning. Labor Day, and to
a lessei extent Julv 4. all appear to m
ciease egg sales The key here is the
week preceding not the week of the holi
day (Atlanta and Cential New York
Studies)
6. Consumer demand for eggs aries sea
sonalh and is reflected in retail stores.
Retail egg sales, when adjusted for
holidac demand and special sales, and re
lated to average weekk \olume, are 10
pei cent abo' e aierage September through
Easter and 10 per cent Wow aceiage after
Easter through August (Atlanta Stud\)

To Store Corn Properly
Corn that is not to be made
into silage must be sloted in a
well vtnt.lated crib or b.n and
not on the ground floor, unless
supplt menial air or heat is to
be added Also, corn to be made
into high-moisture feed would
be another exception We have
noted that some gram stoiage

THE POWER OF LOVE
Lesson for September 27,1970
Background Scripture* Genesis 37 through
38, 44. John 15 12-M
Devotional Reaclng John 10 7-IS.
Jacob encountered God and his
life was transformed. Jacob the
Supplantcr became Israel the pa
triarch of God s people.
That doesn’t mean he never
made any mistakes thereafter. He
was human and, like all human
hemgs, he made
wrong judge
ments and deci
sions.

cubines) and twelve children—
a houseful in any man’s book.
You will remember that his fa
ther-inlaw had tricked him into
working for and many mg Leah.
Jacob accepted this without ran
cor and proceeded to work seven
more years tor Rachel whom he
had loved from the beginning.
Even though Leah boie him his
first son, she never felt really
wanted in this household and
Joseph, Rachel’s child, cleaily be
came his favorite.
It was obvious to everyone.
Joseph got the best of every
thing, including that beautiful
multicolored coat. We can ima
gine how the other biotheis felt
when the "spoiled biat” walked
among them with his 'badge” of
prefeircd status It does not even
seem that Josop-i shaicd the la

To Make High-.Moisturc Corn
Dauymen and cattle feeders
arc placing moie attention on
high-moisture corn for better
feeding results. This means

they must have bristled when he
told them of his dreams in which
he saw himself as superior to
them!
The violent act
There came at last the day of
reckoning for Joseph. In one vio
lent hour his whole life was
changed and his beautiful world
came crashing down about him.
Tensions, hatred, violence—and
one brief hour can change the
lives of any of us. Even minutes
mixed with the v.rong emotion
can turn our w'orld upsidedown.
Many years later Joseph and
his brothers stand face to face
once again. They do not recognize
him for Joseph has become the
close associate of the Pharaoh of
Egypt. Because of the great fa
mine and Joseph’s skill as an ad
ministrator, virtually the whole
kingdom is in his control If ever
a man desired a position in which
to exact vengeance, Joseph was
in it.
Yet, in the j ears that had sep
arated them ph\ sically, there had
been some ladical changes in
their family and themselves. Jo
seph had outgrown his haughti
ness and his brothers had come
to realize the immensity of their
crime against him. Best of all,
love seemed to have entered Is
rael’s tioubled home.
Judah nad come to realize the
teruble unhappiness they had
caused their father in getting rid
of Joseph Realizing how he had
gueved Isiael, Judah forgot his
jealousy and began to love his
father with a love that did not
demand anything in return.
Though once he had resented the
special love his father had shown
Joseph he now accepted without
bitterness the special love Israel
bestowed upon Benjamin.
Greater love hath no man ~.
Judah cannot bear to think of
the sot row Israel will suffer if
the In otliei s must return without
Benjamin, leaving him as surety
with Joseph “ . . . when he sees
the lad is not with us, then . . .
he will die” (Genesis 44 31). Ju
dah, forgetting himself, is caught
up m concern for his father:
let the lad go bade with his
biolhois . . ’ln Benjamin’s
place, he will stay. Such is the
power of love.
