Hiursday, November 8, 1951 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Pace Seven Mountville Farmer Strong For County Conservation Program "Renewed productive strength in the land to increase my farm in come is my objective in farming," says B. P. Watts of Mountville. Mr. Watts is a cooperator with the Laurens County Soil Conserva tion District. He is applying a whole-farm soil and water conser- plan was prepared by Mr. Watts with the help of W. H. Fleming, local SCS technician. "In addition to receiving techni cal assistance from SCS I have al so benefited from training in a veteran’s class at Clinton high school," he said. This farmer bought his farm in September, 1949. That fall he started conservation farming by planting fescue and clover. He now has 30 acres of fescue and clover. In discussing this combination he had this to say, “I have received more cash return from fescue and clover than from anything 'planted on my farm." Pines have been set on seventeen acres of severely eroded land. There are 180 acres in the farm with 120 acres open. The open land is used as follows: cotton, 12; com, 11; small grain, 17; fescue, 40; and Crotalaria lanceolate. 2. The crotalaria was planted in the spring of 1949 and grazed for the first time in the spring of 1950. This variety of crotalaria is non toxic to livestock and Mr. Watts has found that his cows graze it readily. It is a rank growing, soil building legume that does well on soils that are too sandy and drouthy for annual lespedeza. On this farm the crotalaria is growing in combination with Ber muda grass. It furnishes some ni trogen to the grass in addition to furnishing feed for the cows. Mr. Watts got his start with cro talaria lanceolate with seed ob tained from a neighbor, John Sim mons, of Mountville. Mr. Simmons planted some of this variety in the spring of 1948 with seed obtained from the Soil Conservation nursery. He harvest ed seed and gave them ~ to his neighbors to help them get started n* WfATHUMOOT WATCH Wyler i n c a f I • x Bight cm ftofai % W#«r it In cay wtctHar, Wyler Incaftex locks out water mi dvet.

Thomas Senator Would Use A-Bomb In Korean War Washington. — Sen, Edwin C. Johnson (D-Colo) today urged use of atomic weapons against the Com munists In Korea—and said that the possibility of retaliation by Russia is “too absurd to consider." Johnson, a member of the Senate- House Atomic Energy Committee, spoke out against the background of the latest series of atomic tests in Nevada. He declined to discuss in formation he has about the outcome of those tests, except to say they showed "great progress” in building America’s atomic might. The Colorado lawmaker told re porters he saw "no conflict at all” between his call for use of atomic weapons in Korea and his statement last night that the small countries of the United Nations "must strike a hard blow for Korean peace right now before it is forever too late.” In that statement, Johnson said the United States and the other great U. N. powers have made only “futile efforts to end the violence’’ in Korea and had "forfeited the trust” placed in them. He added that the small nations should insist that the U. N. General Assembly con vening in Paris tomorrow remain in session "until a just solution is found.” Johnson said those views and l^is advocacy of atomic warfare against the Communists in Korea are com patible because "we ought to con duct the war there on an all-out or a get-out baaia—one or the other." Then he declared: "I would use the atomic bomb over there if I had my way. I think it could be used to great advantage.” Although Johnaon talked of the A-bomb, he made it clear that he was not excluding any atomic varia tion of that weapon which may have been tested in Nevada. Those tests reportedly involved weapons suited for tactical field use against enemy troops as distinguished from A- bombs employed strategically— against industry concentrations, for example. Asked whether use of atomic weapons in Korea might bring re taliation by Russia, Johnaon replied: 1 think the possibility of that is too absurd to consider. The Russians might someday use the atomic bomb against us in this country, but it won't be for such a reason as that "As a matter of fact 1 Jhtnk our using it in Korea might fte 'one big reason why they wouldn't use it against us at all. Don’t forget the Russians have a great respect for our atomic bomb, despite their own achievement of atomic explosions.” Johnson said he agrees with Sen ator McMahon (D-Conn), chairman of the Congressional Atomic Com mittee, that the time has come for the United States to switch from conventional weapons to the atomic variety as quickly and to the great est extent possible. "It will take some time,” Johnson added, “but not as long as our mil itary officials in the Pentagon argue that it will.” mncxxKxscxxxxxxxx DRINK tops 1 <) r quality tops for a*. quality More Bounce To The Ounce COOL SPARKLING SMOOTH No Finer at Any Price!

After Moses had slain the Egyp tian, who had been beating an Is raelite, and was forced to flee to the land of Midian, he there found a refuge and a home with the priest of the section, and he married a daughter of the priest. While tend ing the flock of his father-in-law on the back side of the desert he was attracted by a burning bush which burned hotly but was noi consumed. Turning aside to see why the bush burned but was not consum ed, Moses heard the voice of God, speaking to him out of the midst of the flame. And God commission ed Moses to undertake the delivery of tne Israelites from Egyptian bondage. When Moses inquired who was sending him into Egypt, the Lord bade him to say that the great I AM was sending him. He bade him also to say that I AM was the God of Abraham, Isaac, nad Jacob. Thus did God reveal himself as the Almighty Being who has neither length of years nor end of days, the ever-living, eternal God. In the ancient time the names of persons were supposed to tell some thing of their character. So the name of God, I AM, indicates that God is eternally existent, that his being is absolute and changeless. And we at once feel his transcend- ance over time and space and all the limitations of finite beings. Surely we can trust the self- revealed God, even as Moses did several thousand years ago.
