He may have great news for you! And bring his prescriptions to us for careful compounding! McGEE’S DRUG STORE Phone No. 1 Six-Inch Sermon By REV. ROBERT H. HARPER Big disappointments are often met with a show of fortitude that amazes even the sufferer himself. However, there are small daily frustrations which, although trifling in themselves, often tend to wear down the spirit, just as dripping water bores into solid rock. These daily irritations can be a very real test as to whether or not one pos sesses that spirit of humility and patience which is necessary to spir itual growth. The list bf minor frustrations is limitless. Being kept waiting for a tardy friend, missing a train or bus, getting repeated busy signals when one wants to make an urgent tphoR6 call—these are only a few. How many people search for some thing for hours only to find it at last right under their nose? How many complain of days when noth ing seems to come out right, or of important plans upset by some lit tle oversight? A great saint once said that any one who loves God will never ex perience frustrations. What he meant was that a true lover of God never permits anything to upset his inner peace and- sense of com panionship with God. His lesson was that every affliction or trial can be translated into good if it is accepted as coming from God’s hands. Some men can accept a stagger ing set-back with much more res ignation than they can put up with the little vexations and difficul ties of daily living. However, it is the small things that most reveal the extent of one’s spiritual stat ure. One reason is that they are often so numerous and another is that they lack the obvious chal lenge to faith and courage that is inherent in some grave crisis or reverse. Notes From The County Agent's Office By C. B. CANNON, County Agani Spray Cattle For Flie* Yates T. Songer, Laurens, Rt. 3, herded his cattle on the morning of June 2and sprayed them accord ing to recommended practices for controlling flies. Mr. Songer used a power spray pump mounted on his Ford tractor for the work. His cattle were herded in the corral and handled with no trouble. Mr. Songer fastened neck chains with numbers for identification on each cow after being sprayed, by driving the animal into a chute and the head fastened while the work was beings done.

At this season of the year live stock is bothered considerably by flies sucking blood which not only irritates the animal but causes loss of flesh or lowers production of milk. It is not uncommon to see flies on the back of cattle so thick that you cannot see the color of the animal. There are materials on the market now to spray cattle with that eliminates this pest to a great degree. In spraying livestock, be sure to use materials according to recom mendations of the manufacturer and not on the basis of hearsay given by Tom, Dick and Harry. Also lice and mites on poultry and in poultry houses may be con trolled with materials now sold on the market, but directions should be followed as to their uses. Thrip On Cotton Examination of cotton fields last .week over the county showed con siderable thrip infestation, and /armers are urged to apply poison at once. Thrip .will be bad until small grain is ripe, as thrip appears first in small grain fields. The in sect attacks the tender buds of the plant and may retard growth from ten days to two weeks. Several farmers have consider able grass in their cotton and are trying to kill it between showers of rain. Small Grain Harvest Is Near Within a few days combines all over the county will be harvesting the small grain crop. Many farm- ecs, no doubt, will insist on the combine operator harvesting his grain too early, thereby resulting in musky or damaged grain that will make,it unfit for human food or planting seed. The combine operator knows when the grain is ripe—let him advise you. There may be a few combine operators, though, who will combine your grain too damp in order to get his toll for work and have no regard for your losses. In this case you are to blame as the grain crop be longs to you and it’s your labor and cost put into the production of the crop. If the grain is harvested before thoroughly ripe, business firms buying the grain will pay reduced price due to over amount of mois ture or maybe refuse to accept the grain at all. , •*" Where grain is to be stored in bins on the farm, the bins should be thoroughly cleaned out and dusted with Pyrenne to kill insects in the bin. Laurens county has a good grain crop prospect, especially wheat.
