But it burned like a coal of fire and I didn’t try again. And fortunately the delusion faded be fore I mastered it. I remember watching the men, as they came from the field, wash their hands there on the back porch. My, how they could dirty up that water! I wanted to do that too. But mine wouldn’t ink it up like theirs would. I remember wetting mine and going out in the back yard and fixing ’em in ashes and soot at the wash pot. Then I could do like a man and real ly airty that water up. And smoking too, I tried that. First it was cross-vine, and then rabbit tobacco from down in the pasture wrapped in newspaper intb large down in Mexico City last September, cigarettes. Later I tried a pipe for Naturally I thought I would never | find any link with South Carolina asked their own opinion of him. Peter at once answered with what we generally call the Great Confession. Christians have been divided in their interpretation of what Matthew adds—that Jesus promised the king dom unto Peter and, as some believe, declared that he would build his church upon Peter. But how could Jesus have meant that he would build his church upon one who could so fail to understand his Lord’s mis sion, and be addressed as Satan? The plain meaning is that Jesus meant the rock of Peter’s faith in his Lord and all that that faith sig nifies. Through the ages the church has been sustained by the faith of men and women who trust in Christ alone for their salvation and who commit themselves freely to his kingdom.

But I did, two of ’em. One of the trips we took while down there was a two-day swing with the joint Mexican-American commission working on the con trol of the black fly on citrus. Dr. A. C. Baker is the top scientist from this country that has been working on that and similar problems down there for years. And his right-hand as sistant is J. F. Cooper. I learned that Dr. Cooper, when a teen-age boy, came to South Caro lina from Canada prospecting for gold. And he spent quite some time in the vicinity of Pacolet, camping out and panning for gold in the streams of that vicinity. I asked him if he got any. He said yes. Not enough to get rich at, but enough to pay his limited expenses with and live. So there was a link with South Carolina I hadn’t expected. Now, can’t you imagine my amaze ment when I found that this J. F. j Cooper was the same little likeable!' Jimmy Cooper that was raised at By REV - *O bert H - HARPER Florence and who worked at Clem son’? exenment station there for sev eral yenns before he went south! So for two delighted days we went intr many a nook and comer of that land of strange contrasts be low the border with friends who knew South Carolina well. Soys In Calhoun Was with County Agent Sain in Calhoun the other day. He told me their soybean acreage grew each yetr. And it fits in mighty well with their farming system too, he said. They grow a lot of grain, and make good grain too. Soybeans are planted there then following grain, thousands of acres of ’em. The beans make a good money crop. And their rich residue is left to turn under. Cain says you can really tell on the following crop where the soybeans were ' The principal bean they plant now is a rather new one developed by! their plant breeder, J. E. Wannamak- j er. It goes by the name of J. E. W.} 45. It was bred up from the Ark- soy, I understand. It is larger than the Clemson Non-Shatter bean that Mr. Wannamaker put out some years ago. And the new one is shatter-re sistant too. Two staple money crops and two crop residues to turn under on land ihe same year is really farming fast. These soybeans are in good de mand by the oil mills. Cain said a half dozen mills bought crushing beans there. Grain Storage With the state’s grain acreage dou bled in recent years and the yield up over fifty percent, we have tons of grain where we used to have a few bushels. With the Clemson method being applied to more and more of our corn, the corn yield has almost dou- | bled in the past 10 years. Along with this increase in grain end corn comes the need for stor age The little shirttails full of these things we used to make could soon be eaten up by livestock that then had to largely root for a living. But livestock, to be profitable, has to eat pretty well the year around. We use grazing more and more all year through. But grain and corn are needed a lot at places along to sup plement and ifinish things off. And we can’t do all of that at gathering time. And in the crude storage that most farms have, losses from rats and insects are great on stored grains a-cd corn. Therefore, to accommodate our growing grain and corn productions, and to supply a growing livestock and poultry business the year through, we need safe storage for these products. We need to store them for regulated use there on the farms. And we need a place to clean, dry, and safely keep them for col lateral and feed „them f into the mark et as they are needed. Just recently Florence had its of ficial opening of their farmers’ co operative grain storage facility. Corn was a drug on the market at harvest time. Then they started taking it in safe storage there and the price im mediately went up where it belong ed. All Of this started over there, I understand, when District Agent J. T. Lazar and County Agent McLen don called a group together in Ap ril. A strong working committee was appointed then. (It carried on and at harvest time, they had their facil ity. Boys Are That Way In a young boy’s eyes, a man is about the greatest thing there is. And men know this, for each of them was once a boy. Looks like that would make ’em a little careful ^ibout the examples they set. Specially so in the case of daddies. Tobacco chewing was common among men when I was growing up. I thought it looked big to chew it two days, puffing it hard. That blis- tered niy tongue and I quit.
