This week I want to teM you about another research activity which also deserves increased attention and support by the Congress and the De partment of Agriculture. It is the problem oCdiscovering new ways to improve the spinning quality of cot ton so as to increase the consump tion of cotton and cotton products. During the past ten years radical changes in the production, harvest ing, and ginning of cotton have been developed to help offset the con stantly rising cost of producing cot ton. While much progress has been made in these areas, such as toe de velopment of the mechanical picker, many new and unsolved problems have developed. Witnesses before the House Agri cultural Appropriations Sab-commit tee have testified that these changes in cotton harvesting and ginning have resulted in a “grow deteriora tion” in the spinning quality of cot toa They aay toe proportion of short fibers ter tt the Mf. *•< has already been conducted at Jo anna Mills, at Joanna, S. C., and at the pilot spinning plant facilities re cently established by the Depart ment of Agriculture at Clemson Col lege. Additional funds are needed to increase research activities at both of these places, and at other research projects across the country. RESEARCH IN PULP INDUSTRY One of the most important indus tries to South Carolina’s economy is forest products industry. TTie pulp and paper segment of this industry is being honored this week in South Carolina on the very day that nine “pilot forests” scattered throughout the state are being dedicated. These pilot forests will show South Caro linians how they can add to their incomes by using modern methods and -practices in harvesting forest trees for ptdpwood and other forest products, 'niis is a form of research deserving much praise. SC FARM CASH CROPS According to figures furnished to me this week by the Department of Agriculture, cotton has declined sharply as a cash crop in South Carolina during the period 1984-57. In 1924 king cotton furnishad T9 par cent of cash receipts from farm products By 1997 this figure had dropped 19 per cent During this tame period tobacco, dairy prod ucts, a ad boa have shown aa up ward trend la 1957 tobacco ranked as the tw money crap in South ( arotms .irmaatl^ tar M 7 par cent of all cash farm rarswu other In back of t he majority of personal problems as well as marraige problems is emotional immaturity. The man or woman who is easily irritated or angry is either emotionally immature or he is tired or sick. In the biography of Jesus Christ it is said that He advanced in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52. This statement is a wonderful tribute to the home in which He was reared. Mary and Joseph no doubt took all delight in their child that parents do today. The mother must certainly have often bent over the little cradle of the Baby Jesus and slowly and distinctly pronounced the Hebrew words for Father and Mother. She must have been happy to have heard Hhn say these wont; for the first tone. We can also imagine her watching Hhn stand on His own feet for the first time and helping Him take those first faltering steps.

In almost every home where there are growing children one can discover somewhere in the house a place where there are notches or pencil marks down horizonally at varying heights. Jim will be proud to step up and tell you that this line shows how tall he was on his last birthday and now look how much he has grown since then. Ask little Mary how big she is and she will delightfully stretch her little arms as high above her as she can reach and say, 'Tm so big.” It is right for children to bo Is • for phyafral growth to eeuas Along with that physical growth there should come mental and rptrttual growth, all in proportion And K was so recorded concerning Jesus In our spiritual lives many of us are dwarfed and retarded if we don't continue to grow It is so in our emotional lives St. Paul wrote that we can never be satisfied until we attain the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ We must move on. Have you, dear reader, measured your emotional growth your spiritual growth? Are you growing each day in favor of od and man? Physical growth calls for food, rest, and exercise. Mental growth calls for an ongoing process of education and study. We are never too old to learn Emotional and spiritual growth call for daily communion and fellowship with God, through reading the Bible, through prayer, through practicing the presence uf God. As we face each situation we should ask, ‘ What would Jesus do?” I'er to UMs MUI ftaM —41, to 2 STARTS Thursday APRIL 16th. to • to to Rwto KIDDIE FOTOS CM A Charming 9x10 Portrait of Your Child 3 Days Only April 14th-17 th and 18th • No Ago Llarit • Quality Kx 10 Foil I'owe Portrait in Sparkling Tweed Kiniah. • Your Choice of Several Distinctive Pooe* • No appointment neeeiaiary.
