THORSDAY, JANUARY: 20, 1931. THE JOURNAL GENTRY, ARKANSAS From Former County Agent of Benton Co. Joe Reed Feels That Worst Stage of Depression Is Past; Optimistic As To Farmers' Future, Old Court House, Little. Rock, Jan. 23, 1931.) -To the Individuals and organizations in Benton county who have loyally cooperated with me in my work as Farm Demonstration during the last three years, I wish to take this opportunity to express my most sincere appreciation.

To attempt to name all of these would be to leave many unnamed. To accomplish the little that we have been able to accomplish without your wholehearted. support and assistance would have been impossible. I know the farmers of this county to be industrious, intelligent, and courageous in the face of adversity, and it is with keenest regret that I find myself unable to be with them and help out in this time when the need seems greatest. appears.

that the worst stage of the present depression has been reached, and, while I do not look for an immedlate return of high prices, purchasing prices will also be low, and I look with optimism to the future of the Benton county farmer.

B. Ballmer, Pastor The church of today is living in critical times. Christianity is on trial. The church is on Your profession of christianity is on trial. Your loyalty to the church is on trial.

He who fails in this crisis to do his utmost to help the church perform its task, he who is' indifferent or recreant now, either has no faith in the.
