Thurnday. April 17, 1W8 FARMS... - AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZEB (fcmHon College Information Spedaliat SOYBEANS Calhoun County has beon the cen ter from which the soybean industry has spread over South Carolina. That was quite natural, with John Wannamaker being there. For he saw promise in the soybean as a possible money crop soon after the boll weevil first hit cotton there. He has worked untiringly with the crop, trying to g$t a high yielding shatter resistant bean suited to our conditions here. And it has been largely on his beans that our acre age has grown. They are the CNS 4, and the JEW 45. And then we also have three USDA varieties planted considerably here, the Yel- nanda,, the Jackson, and the Lee. Last summer I rode with County Agent Cain over Calhoun County. We saw beans everywhere we look ed. I asked him about the acreage. He said he didn’t know exactly, it was growing so fast, but felt that it was at least 50,000 acres. The offi cial USDA figures have just reach ed me. They show that Calhoun County harvested 65,000 acres for beans last year! Now, folks, that’s a lot of beans for a rather small county. Orangeburg had 71,000, Al lendale 40,000 and Hampton 38,000 acres of soys last year. Many other counties have fast growing soybean acreages, too. Clemson tells us we need to watch the fertilization of this rather new crop. Minimum rate and grade per acre for average soils is 400 to 000 pounds of 4-12-12 fertilizer. And for soils whose test shows them to be high in phosphate but low in potash, just that same 'amount of a 3 9-18 per acre. Planting dates are May 1 to July 15 • • • Applied forestry, like soybeans, is rather new in South Carolina In this country it started with President Theodore Roosevelt's tn- tered in 1906. he and Pinrhot of Pennsylvania But here our forests were still in the abundant, wasteful dage It was almost 20 years later (hat forestry reached us with the roaatag of the first resident forester ta South Carotins in the form of Henry Tlyau. Extension Forester of i'Vhusb. September V 19M He talked a language of trees that i strange with us far a while Bui he nan get the am af a They lually gat the ear af the of our control it. But we have lived to see that change, too, in this changing world. Fire wardens and fighting crews in every county are ready at the spotting of the first smoke. Their expert and quick work has aided many a landowner it saving his woodland from the devastation of fire. * * * i WILD MONKEYS A man who lives on Hilton Head Island, off the Beaufort coast, tells me wild monkeys live there. Says there is a small sort and then a larger one. No one seems to know how or when they got there. That island abounded in large plantations up to the War Between the tales. Then the Federals occu pied it as a base for the southern blockade. Hiey promised the slaves “40 acres and a mule” there, at tempted to do some of that, and it messed up some land titles a lot, I’m told. A beautiful seashore re sort is being developed there, since a bridge has been built to it. * t * BOYS ARE THAT WAY Different sections of the country have their quaint sayings. But they don’t know it until someone from the outside points ’em out. I have lived to learn we had plenty of ’em in the deep Stone Hills of the Dutch Kork where I came from. We didn’t know it then. But I do now. For folks are always pointing them out when I talk away from home • We thought they were the natdral thing, the way folks were supposed to say things, and we krew no other way. I was in a group in a distant state some time ago We saw something that was big and new. I said, “Boy. that’s sure s stem-winder ” 1 wasn’t trying to be cute nor funny at all To us in the Dutch Fork that meant something really exceptional, a cracker-jack There was a Harvard graduate in the group He thought my statement quite quaint and wanted to know its origin It dates hack to the time watches were wound with keys When die first stess-wtndrrt came, we thought they were really the stuff And to cal anything a stem wind or” was to really put the ettneher on It was the wkmate in its kind, p.

WORLD S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL CUIDE Read Mark 14:22-31 Broken for you. (I Corinthians 11:24) Jesus spoke these words when He was changing the Jewish Passover into the Lord s Supper. The bread was broken for distribution, but this practical purpose acquired symbolic meaning. The breaking of the bread on Thursday evening foreshadowed the wounding of His body on Friday morning. \ Why was His body pierced and wounded? It was broken for you, bro ken for me Broken for each one personally, as if each person were the only one in the world who needed to be saved. The broken body of our Lord was taken down from the cross and bu ried, and the sepulcher made secure. In less than three days there was a broken seal, an open tomb—once more, broken for you, broken for me. The Christ who died came to life, never to die again. He is broken for you and for me to share with others. Let us take Him with us wherever we go: take Him W> broken hearts, to broken homes, to broken nations, to persons of every race PRAYER Eternal Father, Thou didst stretch forth in love Thy al mighty hand to give os Thy divine help. We thank Thee for Christ, who willingly and with purpose sacrificed Himself for our redemption. Deepen our concern for others that all men may find salvation and peace in Him. In His name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Slain for the healing of the nations, the broken Christ can save this broken world. Sydenham R. Lindsay (Quebec) Ben M.
