TO RENOVATE OLD PASTURES Late August and early September are good times to establish 'a new pasture, or to renovate an old one. In fact, this would be the very best time of the year to make any pasture or lawn seeding. The old sod should be destroyed by cultivation or by a herbicide. After the soil has been treated with lime and fertilizer according to a ness.” Paul the Apostle for Jesus Christ called it “the sober truth”. You must decide for yourselves which man was correct. The result of the uproar in Jerusalem and Paul’s arrest there is a familiar series of legal delays and confusion. ! Paul is a prisoner whom no , one seems to want in his jail. In Acts 26 we see him ap- pearing before both King Agrippa, the Jewish puppet ruler, and Pestus, the representative of Rome. The purpose of the hearing is probably to decide whose prisoner he is going to be.

The 4-H Embryology Program, initiated by Schwartz, was designed to acquaint youth in the elementary grades with the beginning of life through the incubation of fertilized eggs. Area schools cooperated with the program and classroom teachers who served as project super visors Over 750 students participated in the first year’s program. This year 21 classroom teachers served as 4-H leaders for the 900 students enrolled in the embryology project that was conducted in five public schools and three parochial ~ig seedmg is to permit time for the new plants to get established before the 1979 hot weather arrives. The cooler and moist fall months of this year should give the plants a good start. The 1978 Agronomy Guide should give seeding suggestions. TO SOAK NEW TREESANDSHRUBS One of the most important things to be done the first summer of a new tree of shrub planting is to keep the although the king was hardly a good, law-keeping Jew, he had considerable knowledge of orthodox Jewish background. Thus, reasoned » Paul, he would be more likely to understand the gospel than the Romans who didn’t understand the Jewish faith and the Messianic hope. Simply, but com prehensively, Paul tells his story, particularly speaking about the great vision he experienced on the road to Damascus. He is quite specific about this ex perience because it changed the whole course of his fife. Surely, Agrippa could un derstand the importance of RURAL ROUTE DOC ' CAN YOU COME RIGHT OVER?

York County 4-H Fair and Project round-up, York Adams County Extension Agent schools. Students who have taken the project report that it is the greatest educational experience they have had in five years of school. The first year’s program resulted in more than 150 youth enrolling as full-tune 4-H members in the Adams County 4-H Program. Agent Schwartz is a native Pennsylvanian who spent his childhood years on a 100 acre dairy farm near Gettysburg. As a youth he was an active 4-F nd FFA member. He received his bachelor of science and master of education degrees from the Pennsylvania State University. While m college he was a member of the 10 days the water hose should be used to give the root zone of the plant a good soaking; this may take up to an hour of slow watering in order to penetrate into the root zone. If this is done the first year, then thfe plant should not need additional watering in later years. The lack of moisture will cause the leaves to dry up and die and the entire plant will gradually die. Don’t count on normal rainfall to supply visions if Festus, the Roman, didn’t! Furthermore, Paul states that the vision dominated his life from that moment on wards. “Wherefore, 0 King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision...” (26:20). That statement might very well be the epitaph for his life and ministry: He was not disobedient to the vision! It is what drove him through riots, shipwreck, im prisonment, stoning, beating, etc. His whole life from that point onward was governed by his vison of Christ on the Damascus Road. Fairgrounds.

The right kind of a sire will improve the herd or flock in the future, and produce animals meeting current market demands. Per formance Testing is often done with bulls, boars, and rams. This kind of a background should give Such As I Am If Festus - and perhaps Agrippa - found that hard to understand, they were even more astounded when Paul finished by saying he wished that the king and the governor “would become such as I am - except for these chains.” Was the man crazy to suggest that these two men of wealth, power and culture would be better off if they were to become like him? Did this crazy man think that with a few works he could convert them to his Christ? No wonder Festus exclaimed: “Paul you are mad; your great learning is turning you mad.” In calling Paul “Mad”, THAT'S THE PROBLEM I'VE GIVEN HER SO MANY OVER THE YEARS...
