these things were tastily-arranged

would just be cut in squares or cut
round with the biscuit cutter.
About a peck of cookes of this
sort would be baked at a time and
kep in a handy jar. We never let
’em last long.
And candy, too,. We made it from
molasses we grew in the sorghum
patch. Some of it we pulled until
it got light in color. We called that
molasses candy. And until this
very day, I call that good eatin’.
Then, from our own peanuts, we
were upset over the second coming
of Christ. Two things Paul em
phasized in writing to them—that
they could not know the time of
the second coming, and • that they

Lesson or May 17: I Thessolon-

Our Farm Program
Did you ever think of it? Our
general farm program in South
Jiiroli’na has become pretty well
established, as Director Watkins,
points out.
Once we grew close to 3 million
teres of cotton. That took the bulk
,of our best cleared land, leaving
little of that sort for anything else.
But through much pain and ad
justment, for various reasons, we
cut that gradually to less than 1
million. After hitting bottom, it
rallied a bit and has become fairly
stabilized at about 1 million acres.
So we have already put our house
pretty well in order, as far as the!
ov< r-production of cotton is con-■
corned. And most of our folks feei;
that we need something like about;
that 1 million acres in cotton in
our established agriculture of to-
day.
I cion t mean to imply that we
have reached perfection in this and
that there is no room for improve
ment. There will always be room:
and need for that. But it begins
To look like we have settled down!
to a pretty safe and sane basis for
balanced crop and livestock produc
tion on our lands. We have more
corn than we do cotton. And also
about as much grain as we do cot- i
ten, and about as much grazing too. j
With the livestock, dairy and poul-j
tiy production that fits in with all;
cd that, it looks like we have a!
pretty well balanced line-up that
m-ght best stabilized there. |
Then comes the need for improve
ment in the management and hand-1
1;ng every phase of it.
With this line-up, we stand a
chance of making the “clean sur
plus” that Henry Grady dreamed
of in his day, when King Cotton
had his strangel-hold on us. Arid
when that good day comes, we will
be strong indeed.
Your Ladder
A good farm ladder, do you have
one?
Suppose a roof blaze started on;
one of your buildings. Could you
get up there?
I saw a fine old farm home at,
nnc place and a nice schoolhouse,
at another go up in smoke simply;
>>ecciuse there was no way to get up.

' As kids, we naturally liked
-.weets. — , r —
But commercial sweets were rare
(hen, as any sort of money was dan
gerously scarce. So we largely
made burs. We grew the flour,
made the syrup, and produed the
butter and eggs. So there we were.
Cookies and ginger-snaps were
our favorites. They didn’t havej
any molds to cut them with. But
by hand they would cut out men
and anmals from the roleld dough
and cook novelties like that. And

Philippi, he went to Thessolonica, i
where he was permitted to labor

Jews forced him to leave. After’
going to Bercea, he journeyed to
Athens. Thence he went to Corinth
and he was there cheered by Tim
othy’s rejoicing him and bringing;
him good things from Thessolonica.)
But there were conditions among
the Thessolonica Christians that
gave Paul grave concern. Somel
Including the federal excise tax, a total
of 29^ out of every dollar received from
Southern Bell customers last year was paid
out in taxes to federal, state and local gov
ernments. To put it another way, the aver
age amount of taxes was $2.91 a month
per telephone.
Telephone taxes are necessary to the
support of government, but they do raount

the price you pay for telephone service.
