• ' Paj?e Four THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, July 20, 1950 SIX-INCH SERMON By Rev. Robert H. Harper i i By J. M. ELEAZER. Clemson Colleee Extension Infor mation Specialist 4-H Grows Nine hundred and fifty folks, in- ( eluding -1-H boys and girls, parents, and leaders, attended the spring 4-H Rally Day in Florence, according to ‘ Assistant County Agent Fleming. Four-H keeps attuned to the times, i The tractor maintenance 4-H club at! ReeVesville, down in Dorchester, met * 7 times during a month. Those boys* are getting ready to ride and operate; those iron mules, according to their assistant county agent, L. S. Bailey, j Fifteen boys took the intensive trac- tcr maintenance course that Assistant Agent T. B. Tillman put on in Sum ter. with the assistance of local deal- i ers m their shops. i-- _j And when their 4-H tractor main- tr nance school was completed in Kershaw, Assistant County Agent | Robert Montgomery put on a tractor, dr.ver’s contest, with 15 boys taking part. The local dealers cooperated in all of this. Extension Forester Barker in- ! spected the 4-H school plantings of pines with county agent Gray of Greenville at several schools. These trees were set 'a year ago last win ter Good stands and satisfactory growth were fbund. In Laurens, Assistant Agent Wil liams had 21 of his 4-H tractor club members take part in the tractor op erator’s content that was judged by C’ emson's McKenzie and Whit Gil- 1,..m, assistant county agent from Greenville. Over 300 folks attended this event and saw these young folks handle tractor outfits as handily as their elders handled a mule at their ages. And' thus goes the story of these 4-H youngsters in many a county.) Getting ready for a mechanized lu- ture! Dorchester Hoc* A.ong through recent years I have told you of the growth of hogs as a money crop in Dorchester This mod ern hog development started there i«cme 20-odd years ago when the, county agent put on some feeding demonstrations to get rid o! distress corn. According to the records of their little livestock shipping association,; they are still growing in their frog business. 1 happen to have their Ap- , nl record before me. That month; 1M5 farmers shipped 1.574 hogs that i brought $48,276 59 And that is us ually not a heavy month, according, to County Agent King Much early corn is planted there 1 for hogging down Some of the eai-j ly nybrids are coming in good here. I according to King. And then they hog off a lot of their later corn on out in the winter. .As 1 heard one' ot the.r farmers say, "You can’;' beat this hv.gg.ng thing.- off. They get a lot o* picKing around in tne f.e.os ( except the corn that does them good.) Ar.d iney usually stay clean andj r.c: Ithy out tnere.’’ Irrigation In Anderson County Agent Hopkins of Ar.der- "The recent dry spring has . iau.-ed farmers to think seriously i . at n-:a!:;ng irrigation systems.” Ht says two have oven instal.ed, and, .era! mo.e l.xtly will beioie the. y•- i- over And that's the story in most coun-| t.es where I've been. This irr.ga-' t m thing .\e have been talking about ; r tne past two or three years is k ...y getting under way. Irrigation is awlully new to us all.; F me are making mistakes in the 1 systems they put in. Clemson's P. i M. Garv.n, Jr., has been schooled! in this subject and he is operating) our demonstration outfit in irrigat-1 ing 8 demonstrations over the state.' He is available to help you plan your | irrigation system. Get him through ! ycur county agent. Boys Are That Way Did the phobia tor counting things ever get a hold on you? I first had it as a kid. when riding the 18 miles to Columbia on our old wood burning train. I started count ing telephone poles as they moved by the window. It took- just about an hour to negotiate those 18 miles. And in later years that same tend ency to count thing:- returns at times. 1 a.ways count the pipes in the organ when I go to a new church. And the beams across overhead, the panels the walls are divided into, the num ber of windows, the number of lights overhead, etc. I once went to a church for a while that bothered me a lot. I could never get the pipes in that organ counted accurately. I threatened ta remain behind and go up there and count them by putting my hand on each one. I like trains. But I try to count the cars in every one of the moving monsters I behold. And that's dis tracting and hard on the eyes. Wonder if you do those silly things too? JJet you do, for we are all a lot alike. Famue!, the rpright Judge Lesson for July 23: I Samuel 7:3-6, 15-16; 12: 1-5. Memory Selection: I Samuel 3:19. Samuel was one of the great char acters of early Israel and there was a potent reason for it— in infancy he was dedicated unto God. and his pious mother's act had much to do with his great career. His early life should be familiar to the reader. The first of the lesson text shows Samuel as the strong leader of Israel. After the ark’s return from Philistia, Samuel gathered his people to. an assembly at Mizpah, and led them to repentance and new consecration to Jehovah. The Phillistine regarded the occasion as a mobilization and they came up with a great army upon the Israelites. And they were terribly defeated. Living at—Ramah, Samuel held court therje and at other places. He was an early "circuit judge.” At length, after Saul had become the first king and Samuel had grown old, he brought the people together and asked them for a kind of vote of confidence, net that he might remain in leadership among them, but that he might depart in peace. Conscious that he nad walked in integrity be fore God. the old man also desired the approval cf his people, and they gave it with one voice. ^hu«. approved by God and men, Spp'jel c me to the end of his pil- gr.mage. and left an example of his righteous service. Let the upright judge be an example unto all who hold high office, and to all others as well, influencing them to be true and sincere in all their dealings.
