.Irrigated Tobacco Demonstration-
County Agent McCord of George
town says:
“With the completion of sales
from 44 acres tobacco irrigation
demonstration, J. 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. Statesmen
they were.

ABRAHAM. 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

old rail pen.
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. And ir the meat.time we
“threw” our boxes umi. .meat tyas
