LYDIA BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS Curing the business session of the Brotherhood meeting lastfKii week, plans were made to fill the pantry for the needy. In order that all the church family might participate in the this project, every fifth Sunday night has beau designated as Brotherhood grocery night, with everyone bringing some type of Cotton is a good crop. Some farmers tell me that it’» .he only thing that will pay, while others say they can’t make it pay. Those who make a bale per acre or .more do well with it. Last year proved a lot to some fanners. One thing for sure, that boll wee vils will destroy the crop unless controlled. Every cotton fanner in Laurens County should plant for at least a bate per acre. It can be done provided fanners will apply know-how in fertiliza tion cultivation and Insect con trol. Here are a few points that should be done now—a first step toward that bate. Have seed checked for germination. This Is Important in getting a good stand. Have soil texted and fer tilize according to recommenda tions. If you need more acreage, apply as soon as possible. If you do not Intend to plant all your allotment, turn in what you don’t intend to plant Remember you must plant at least one year out of throe. Laurens County farmers sold more than $10,000 worth of aro matic tobacco last year. There is much more interest in this crop this year. Thus far, thirty-five fanners, colored and white, have signed for assistance in growing it this year. This crop is suited for a lot of farmers in Laurens County. Those interested should drop by the office as soon as pos sible and let’s talk it over. Plant •beds must go out in March. We’ve just mailed 1400 copies of crop varieties! recrrnmended by Ctemson College, it will pay to plant the varieties recommend ed. They are the highest yielding, mqst disease-resistant and most adapted to our area There are new varieties of cotton on the list. For sure some of our farm ers will want to try these. Laurens County should plant 10,000 acres of soybeans this spring. Soybeans is a good cash crop. There isn’t a groat deal of labor involved. All can be done by machinery. This will give you a chance to use that combine non-perishable food for the pan- rty. , This Sunday evening will be the first observance of the project. • • • Rev. M. J. Sanders, pastor of the Lydia Baptist Church, is con ducting the morning devotions over radio station WPCC at 8:46.

That’s Wide-Track balance (No other ear hat it) - Pontiac holds, hugs and hangs on to the road like no other car.There’s no outside-' of-the-wheels weight to*cause lean or sway. More weight is balanced between the wheels for Improved stability. Another Wlde-Track advantage: There’s more room between the wheels to mount the springs, shocks and control arms at more stable angles to the wheels. This prevents drifting and wandering, allows Pontiac to track flat and level as It travels around corners and curves. New Wide-Track feels every bit as steady as if looks. Test it soon!
