(1 Samuel 13:13) Samuel was God's man. He knew God’s marching orders. If they did not come, he did not move, but stood steadfast in holy rev erence before God. Samuel was displeased and angry with Saul for his disobedience to God. His twice-repeated assertion, “Thou hast not kept the com mandment of the Lord," was a serious warning to Saul for his dis- Sbedience. Samuel withstood Saul with courage and boldness, di recting his words straight as the arrow flies. Those words took hold of Saul, and he trembled with conviction. In days to come, Saul remembered this holy man of God, especially his unselfishness and justice. What sublime beauty we find in the life of Samuel; what an in spiration is the memory of his death! What encouragement know ledge of his faithfulness to God gives us in hours of temptation! PRAYER Holy Father, God of all generations and aO crea tures, may we, too, be obedient to the heavenly vision. With assurance of Thy promise, may we stand boldly t and remain true to Thee. In Jesus' name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Men of God talk humbly before him in obedient trust. Florence Crain (Texas) Mrs. Jimmy Richie will ob serve her birthday Aug. 8. Happy birthday to Harold Hairston and Jim Dean. Mike Crawford will celebrate his birthday Aug. 8. Leon Abercrombie will observe a birthday Aug. 6. Vicki Lawson will be 3 years old Aug. 5.

We’ll have to wait another three weeks to tell just what this cotton crop will do. The crop is young _ In many fields it’s just started Pitches 1 had put in last year blooming. The cotton farmer j lflVe cer t a j n |y a |jf e saver knows the future depends on the a j| t j, e ra j n we V e been hav- Drainage improvements In the Laurens Soil Conservation Dis trict have picked up recently with the following farmers con structing approximately 8,000 feet of drainage ditches: C. D. Waldrop, G. P. Copeland and the Whitten Village farm. These ditches will help remove the sur plus water from approximately 75 acres of bottom land which is now too wet for the growth of de sirable pasture grasses., D. W Stevenson said, “The weather condiitons and boll wee vil damage. I’ve visited a lot of fields the past week and in most of them I’ve found the weevils at home. It is certainly obvi ous that if farmers are going to pick cotton this fall, they must control the weevils and set this crop of young squares In most fields unless the insects are con trolled there will be very little cotton picked. If farmers are go ing to spend money on spray or dust, they should get on a sched ule. Every five days will protect the young crop. At least 15 pounds of dust should be applied and the proper amount of spray material. * * * Sam Fleming of Ora .showed me a receipt where he had sold two beef calves. One calf was from a registered cow and the other from a grade cow. The grade calf weighed 90 pounds more than the registered calf. The calves were born January first and second. The registered calf brought two cents a pound more than the grade calf. The grade calf weighed 512 pounds and the registered calf weighed 422 pounds. This is a good illustra tion of the beef cattle situation in Laurens County. No doubt the grade cow has some milk type blood She gives more milk and does a better job of raising a calf. However, the registered calf brought more per pound, which also illustrates the type of calf the market wants. Farmers must strive to produce the heavy calf but at the same time get the type desired by the packer. This also illustrates that the purebred breeders have their work cut out to get more milk production in those brood cows. The performance testing program that is available to beef produc ers in Laurens county is designed to do just that. The program takes into consideration both type and rate of gain. Every beef cow in Laurens County should pro duce a 500 pound calf at 7 months of age. • * * Laurens County farmers are missing a lot by not producing more hogs. Especially those who grow grain. We can produce pork as cheap a any farmer in the country. John D. Godfrey Lanford—John D. Godfrey, 96, died at a Laurens hospital at 3:30 p. m. Friday after an Ill ness of six months.

C. D. Waldrop has already made two cuttings of hay from a 30 acre Held ol pretty Coastal Bermuda at Lanford. A third cutting will be ready within the week. He applies liquid nitro gen after each cutting of hay J. E. Baker, D. C. Brock and Byron Brown were assisted in surveying farm ponds during the last week. These ponds are to be used for stock watering. Orders For Tree Seedlings Forest tree seedlings to be planted this winter should be ordered before July 31, accord ing to State Forester C. H. Flory Assistance in making the ap plication will be given by any of the local Agricultural Agencies. Soil Surveys “Soil survey maps are a great help to us in locating suitable topsoil for road construction,’’ said Sam Earle, Resident Con struction Engineer with the State Highway Department. “In some areas it is hard to find usable top soil. By using the soil survey maps we can determine where to look for these soils and pin point those areas for checking. This saves time and travel for our personnel,” Mr. Earle stated? W H. Fleming is the local soil surveyor for the Soil Conserva tion Service. His survey maps are used by the planning techni cian in helping farmers plan and develop basic conservation plans on their farms. Jessie Lee Poole has finished another farm pond. This gives him two such ponds for Irrigation of peaches and truck crops. Byron W. and T. C. Brown are in the process of building a pond for livestock water. This is the third pond for the Brown Broth ers for the watering of their dairy herd. Technicians of the Soil Conser vation Service assisted the Thom ason Brothers in the surveying of terrace lines on a twenty-five acre field this week. The terraces will be constructed by the district’s terracing machine and ACP cost sharing will help pay the cost of construction. Edwin P. Alexander has just completed hardwood control work on 15 acres of woodland. The Lau rens Soil Conservation District helped Mr. Alexander with this work. Lucian Burns cut and baled 28 acres of alfalfa hay last week. Mr. Burns said that this was the best of the three cuttings he has made this season. Approximately 20 tons of good quality hay were cut and put into the barn. MUSKRATS There are reports that musk rats are damaging farm ponds by burrowing into the dams. It ap pears that If the side of the dam near the water is kept clean, muskrats will be largely eliminat ed. Clear the willows and ball- rushes away from that side ol the dam. This growth seems to at tract muskrats. Cross Hill News The Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Us- sery and daughters spent the past week-end with friends at Faith, N. C. The Rev. and Mrs. Roy W.
