All members that were present at the September meeting are sup posed to bring another man with them to the October meeting. Horace Smith, president of the club, invites all men in the com munity to join the club Conservation Notes By J. B. O'DELL There has been a big improve ment in the technical phase of farm pond construction in Laurens Coun ty during the past 10 year*.' The local technicians of the Soil • Con servation Service are better train ed, have had more experience and are now better qualified to assist farmers with this important soili and'water conservation practice. The saipe coulci be said of the local contractor*" ivh6 actually do the earth moving in the building of the dams. Some of the biggest im provements have been made in the selection of better sites, better core construction, longer side slopes and adequate spillways to take care of flood water. The following farmers, who are cooperating with the Laurens Soil Conservation District, have recent ly constructed farm ponds: John Earle Smith, Charles Cobb, Duncan Creek Hereford Farm, M. L. Lew is. J. T. Hollingsworth and C. W. Killingsworth. This brings the total for the year thus far to 24 new ponds. A large number of farmers are using their ACP cost-sharing pay ments to help pay the cost of con struction. However, this payment is only eligible for ponds that are needed for stock watering or irriga tion purposes. * * L. C. Adams, manager of the J. M. Oeland farm five miles north of Ware Shoals, was preparing land for winter grazing crops last week. He said: *T like deep plowing in land preparation. When you go down 10 to 12 inches deep you don’t lose any rain water from the field for the next year after plowing.” Mr Adams also believes in, and uses other soil and water conserva tion practices, such as cover crops, stubble mulching, terracing, con tour cultivation, farm ponds and good permanent pastures. When land is protected with a good cover or cbnservation treatmiiet you get twice as much insoak of rainfall as’ as you do on unprotected land. “We need to pay more attention to sav ing our rainfall. It’s the rain you keep that counts," Mr. Adams fur ther stated. ^ We have talked -about soil con servation for a long time but never before has water conservation re ceived so much attention. I quote from an editorial pi the September issue of the Soil and Water Maga zine: “Tf Soil Conservation Dis tricts will place more stress on .wa ter conservation and talk less about conserving siol. they would find it easier to get more people to A) a better job of caring ror and im- provnig their, I ■ • * P. W. McAllister', of Laurens, is this week using the district’s tree girdling service in timber stand improvement work on his tree farm three miles West of Lau rens. Undesirable hardwoods are being killed by the girdling and the application of 2-4-5-T poison to the smaller trees to prevent sprouting. This is being done in order to re lease and permit a better growth of pines. “The control of low-grade hardwoods is one of the big prob lems in growing pines in the Pied mont section of the state,” said George Smith, forester with the Soil Conservation Service. Purchase Of License Plates Decreases 25% From Last Year The number of motor vehicle li cense plates issued statewide in the, first two weeks of the 1958 li censing period was 25 per cent less than issuances in the first two weeks of the 1957 period, the South Carolina Highway J)epartment re ported. Approximately 145,000 license plates have been issued. Hus leaves well over a half million to be issued before November 1. Chief Highway Commissioner Claude R. McMillan reminded mo tor vehicle owners that there will be no extension of the time to get their license plates. Persons op erating vehicles with old plates after October 31 will be subject to fine. Mbtor vehicle owners may get new plates “over the counter” at any of the 41 highway department offices in the state. A postage fee of 30 cents is charged on all li censes delivered by mail. JOHN W.

When you know the signals—^you call by number and vbur call goes through faster. Also, knowing the right.play helps a lot. Lor instance, often a station-to-station call will serve your purpose just as well as a person-to-person call and is much cheaper. You can save still more by placing your call in the end zone—that's nights after 6 or anytime Sundayii. Yessir. you'll come out ahead when \ou know the sigmtft-^all by number-rcall station-to-station—call after 6 or Sundays. * * • OPF.RA1 ION ALERT—Here, as in other small com munities. we don't worry too much about enemy attacks and bombings.

The skill and patience of many a human soul, the blueprint of Christ’s own example, and the unseen but mighty craftsmanship of the Creator Himself— these over the decades bring forth a noble Christian life. There must be understanding, guid ance, faith. There must be a Christian home with sincere, loving parents. There must be prayer, the Bible, worship, thought, study. And at length practice and persistence must win many a victory- over self before the world begins to recognize the hand of God in the life of a man. „ Nearby in the churt^i you will chcfbse, there are busy hands at the work benches of God.
