he and the other farmers cooperating
with the District are well On their

.Soil Conservation Contest:
Fifteen communities with a total
of 368 farmers in the district com
peted for awards in the Piedmont
Communities Soil Conservation
Contest which closed on June 30.
This contest was sponsored by su
pervisors of five soil conservation
districts, within ihe trade area of
Spartanburg, S. C., one of which was
our District. Each farmer participat
ing was applying a whole-farm soil
and i water conservation plan pre
pared for his farm with the help of
technicians of the Soil Conservation
Service. Awards were made in Spar
tanburg on September 5. U. S. Sec
retary of Agriculture Charles F. j.eed for saving soil, the advantage
firannan was the speaker. jof so doing, and how, through the
Bailey Community with D. Eu-!soil conservation district, they may
geneyBrown as leader took the $650- J receive much valuable help from the
employees to help with terracing,
farm pond surveys, pasture seeding,
and the applicatibn of other conser
vations jobs done on a seasonal ba
sis. During 1951, the District was
handicapped since Congress reduced
SCS funds for the fiscal year 1951-52
Which made it impossible to^ employ
sufficient part-time employees to
meet the demands for technical as
sistance with the application of con-
servation practices JEfcaeak seasons.
Help From OtM^Vgencies:
The South' Carolina Game «and
Fish Department furnished 75,000
lespedeza bicolor plants to cooper
ators of Laurens County Soil Con
servation District. The Federal Fish
and Wildlife Service furnished them
with 45,000 bream and 27,000 bass to
stock 27 ponds. The South Carolina
Commission of Forestry furnished
district coop^rators 67,000 trees; The
SCS Nursery furnished them* with
20,000 multiflora rose plants and 110
pounds of fescue gras sseed.
The Trend:
Generally, farmers of the District
are more conservation-minded and
have a better understanding of the
Soil Conservation District program
than ever before. The trend is to
ward grassland farming. More re
position to apply conservation meas-, quests for assistance on growing
ures as rapidly as needed. Absentee grass have been received during the
land owners and tenants are not as | year than any previous year,
interested in -soil popservation asf The District Objective:
they should be. More education is; Our objective is to get more con-
needed to acquaintj,people with the! servation practices applied to the
Lhd; to use each acre within its ca
pabilities and to treat each acre in
with PMA county and community
committees for recommendations on
practices and payments for PMA for
the 1952 program. (
The District acted as vendor for
terracing, sericea, and kudzu crowns.
We also assisted PMA to furnish fes
cue and clover seed on purchase or
ders for the convenience of farmers.

was worn by Ora Community, with
Milton Y. Blakeley as leader.
Trinity Ridge took the third place
award of $200.00. J. W. Tinsley, dis
trict supervisor, is leader of the
Trinity Ridge group.
Hopewell Community, with W. P.
Dickson, district supervisor, as
leader, won fourth place.
Richard Buford, - Clinton, was
judged as having the best job of
whole-farm soil conservation on his
farm. • x
individual farmers for various soil
and water conservation programs.
These awards were furnished by
forty business firms and were val
ued in excess of $3,000.00. The don
ors realized that the loss of topsoil
by erosion ipeans improverished
■fields, and fhal irppoverished fields
mean impoverished families. They
recognized‘that^with the topsoil, goes
potential buying, power and affects
the welfare of everyone. Therefore,
they supported this contest to en
courage soil conservation.- Supervis
ors of this District appreciate the
cooperation of business men in this
contest. Likewise, we owe a vote of
thanks to newspapers which pub
lished many news articles and other
publicity relative to the work of the ;
Distfcit and cooperators within it. (
Farmers Speak:
Machen H. Monroe, a cooperator
with the District, says: “I would ad
vise anyone who has cattle to have
enough sericea to graze during dry
periods, which we always have
sometime during the spring or sum
mer. If it is not needed for grazing,
it can always be used for hay, and
i f ’s a mighty good crop to improve
the land.”
Mrs. Yates T. Songer, of “Oak Hill
ranch” in Laurens County Soil Con
servation District, says of.conserva
tion farming: “I am glad we have
weather-proof . pastures. The winds
blow, but our grass doesn’t blow
down like corn. Our goal is grassland
farming.”
“Rehewed productive strength in
agencies mainly engaged in conserv
ing soil and water.
Lack of technical assistance is a
big problem to the District. More
accordance with its needs; an<4 to
complete and ppt into operation our
Program /or Greater Service. It is
also oiif' hope to get more soil con
servation taught in the schools.

Six-Inch Sermon
By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
NICODEMUS, A HESITANT FOL
LOWER
Lesson for January 27: John 3:1-
10; 45-52.
Golden Text: John 3:3.
The name of Nicodemus is famil
iar to readers of the New Testament
and doubtless he is always recalled
as one who came to Jesus by night.
Did he come by night because he
was afraicl to come openly? No one
knows and, in view of the uncertain
ty, let us be slow to condemn him
as cowardly.
The inquiry of Nicodemus led
Jesus to speak to him of the new
birth as so necessary that without
it no man can enter the kingdom of
God. Education, the law, and the
resolutions of a man’s will cannot
make him good. Only through faiUi
in Christ can a man pass from sin
unto life. For only the power of
God can cleanse the human heart.
Months after the visit of Nico-
demus to Jesus, the Sanhedrin sent
* officers to arrest Jesus, and bring
him to them. But the officers re
turned without Jesus and said,
* “Never man spake like this man.”
Hearing this, the rulers vowed that
the people who tffere hearing Jesus
were accursed. Then Nicodemus
spoke boldly and said. “Doth our
law judge any man before it hear
him?” Thus he intimated that the
rulers were guilty of breaking a
faw they claimed to uphold. Cer
tainly at that time Nicodemus did
not betray any fear. Let every man
be true to his own soul and give
Jesus a chance to be heard. And
let all who undertake to teach the
gospel unto others make sure that
they know whereof they speak.
