Cr6p.Report
(By G. W. MONTGOMERY,
• Agricultural Representative
for Huron County)
"Fine weather prevailed again
during 'the week and farmers con-
tinue to make considerable pro-
gressnwith the outstde work. -Fall
plowing is being somewhat hmp-
ered, by the hard condition of the
soil, on the other hand this is' ideal
for corn yicking Which is now un.'.
der Way in most sections of the
County. Corn is being cribbed at
higher than the recornmende
moisture content rate.
"Because of. the excellent past-
ure, qinoirt all classes of livestock
are still on full -pasture,
"Bidding was slow at the Perth -
Huron Shorthorn Club fall sale
with seven bulls averaging $371
an 16 fernales selling from $210
each," .
Infernal Publicity
Alcoholic drink in France and
its "infernal publicity" is attract-
ing wide attention both .within and
Without the country.
(alcoh,01) is now extending
it. field to sports. There in hardly
a single contest which is not now
sponsored by Some brand of liquor.
Bicycle, races, foot races, rugby,
track sports, ball games, all these
contests in Paris, and I belieye it
is the same elsewhere, are adver-
tised by posters with enormous
letters recommending this or that
drink. Foot races across. Paris
and road Competitions of cyclists
are preceded by brilliantly painted
trucks with Thud speakers OM -
Mending various brands."
"INFERNAL publicity!" Little
wonder that *France lead's the
world asan alcoholic nation. In
1955 there died in France 4,106
persons from acute aleoholism, and
a further 1;271 from cirrhosis of
the liver.

The Bible
• Today
-
'Egypt has often' loomed large on
the,pages of vitria history. Today
it finds a place in the presses of
countries around - the world.
A legacy of ancient lore that had
its origin in this now notable land
may be seen in the treasure vaults
of the British and Foreign Bible
Society in London, England. This
priceless piece of papyrus was un-
covered along, the banks of the
River Nile by workmen dinging
deep among the ruins, of Egypt's
former glory. •
A smallparceliabout the size of
a man's .hand wars unearthed, Un-
packed: „after centuries it was
found to'be a narrow book of for-
ty-three leave, The Papyrus was
so brittle that extreme care was
needed in handling lest it crumble
to pieces.
Seholars were soon atnvork and
ecided that the little ,bbok was a
Copy of the... Gospel of St. John
written in the old Coptic language.
This Was probably one of the very
first translations of the Bible in
an African language.
One of the pages of papyrus is
on ,display -In' the Bible House;
placed carefully between sheets Of
glass. The rest of the book is kept
in a dark strong room away from
all light. The page displayed bears
the words' that were carefully
written centuries ago. The sev-
enth line beam the letters MC
with a stroke over. them. That
Was the' common way of writing
"Jesus Christ."
Africa required the Bible in 1,000
tongues today. Only a fractierf so
far have the whole Bible available'.
Apparently Eunt had one of the
first, if not :fife first translation.
