W. W T atts pro duced a total of 9,622 pounds with net sales of $4,967.70. This was done with three irrigations when the water counted for most.” That’s 2,138 pounds per acre, a grand'yield on a dry year. It’s 62 per cent above the state average. As we begin to master this thing of irrigation, where water is avail able, we begin to see a vast new potential in our land. And a lot of land over the state has water easily thrips. County Agent Cannon of Lancaster says where that was done the early pickings of cotton were much heavier. This insect delays growth and hurts stands. We need to keep a keener eye on it. For it has shown that it can hurt a crop about as bad as the boll weevil by delaying it for the weevil to get and by ruining your stand. Clemson has the remedy for it. Ask your county agent next spring how to detect them on your cotton. It is a rather insidious thing in that damage is often done before you realize it.

Pickens Progress In 1946 the Pickens county calf club was started with six calves. Since then 35 4-H club members have gotten 43 more good calves, according to County Agent Wood. The three boys of Levi Boggs each got a calf when they were 10 years old. Now they have*a Grade A milk business that started from those calves. And James Fowler's children, three boys and a girl, did likewise. Pickens started its first milk route last June with 11 customers, and it has constantly grown since then. i Last spring 113 farmers signed up to grow 212 acres of pimento pep pers. Drought hit them hard. But Wood tells me that those who hap pened to get some rain did pretty well. (Irrigation would have likely made its mark there this year.) Webstar Tree There is a beautiful hundred- year-old Canadian hemlock tree growing in the yard of the Calhoun mansion at Clemson that Daniel Webster gave to John C. Calhoun when they were stalwarts in the 'early congress. These men opposed each other in some of the most memorable debates ever to take place in Washington. Yet were warm personal friends.

GODS PIONEER Genesis 12: 1-9: 13: 14-17 Memory Selection: Hebrews 11: 10 Abraham was a pioneer in mi grating from one country to an other. From ancient Ur of the Chaldees to Padan-aram, and from that place to several in Canaan gave him quite a bit of moving in the course of years. But more than pioneer in migrat ing from one place to another, Ab raham was the pioneer,of God in spiritual things. Through faith he departed for Canaan, and through faith was he sustained through all the changes of his career. We do not know in what way God spoke to Abraham at Padan- aram. On whatever way it was, God's call was at once answered. It was a spiritual objective that led Abraham across the deserts to Canaan—he looked for a city that hath foundations, “whose maker and builder is God.” In the several places where he sojourned in Canaan, Abraham built altars unto God. If we could have family altars all over our country, we should have no fear of the fu ture. In Canaan Abraham demon strated his unselfishness and great- i ing to butcher hogs at home. And, ness of soul. He allowed his nephew, Lot. to choose what part of the land he would take for himself and his flocks. While Lot prospered but came to sorrow and grief, Abraham not only gained wealth but also re as was the custom, they let us stay from school that day. We got up with the grown folks, while the stars were still out, and frost was crusted heavy on the ground. The wash pots had been ceived the promise of God that his filled with water the evening be fore, and the wood properly stacked around them for the fire without delay in the morning.

We had been furnishing fresh meat for the family with rabbits. Now that we were butchering, we would have plenty of fresh meat without them. So we decided to bring the catch badk alive that morning. This was the first real cold morn ing we had had, and that usually meant a good catch. And sure enough, it turned out that way. My brother was older, and he did the getting off and checking the boxes. THfe first two rabbits we caught, he made me hold, one in each hand. Old Frank knew the path and just followed old Bill that my brother rode. So my hands didn’t have to fool with the reins. But I thought they would freeze and drop off, and I complained loudly to him. He threatened dire things if I let one of those rabbits get loose and galloped on. Soon we had two more, four in all, a record catch. He carried them. As we rode up to the house, dawn was faintly growing in the east, smoke was rising from the scald ing water in the pots, and the men were going down to the pen with an axe. We forgot about our numb hands in that glow of achievement as we rode up. We held *he four rabbits high, one in each hand, and a man slid, “Maybe we needn’t kill that hog." — — We pen net! them, fed them’ col- i lard leaves, turnips, and hay for a whi’ until fresh meat was need d again.
