West Carblina Ave. READ EPHESIANS 3:14-21 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? (Romans 8:35). Having loved his own which were in the world, be loved them unto the end. (John 13:1.) Christ’s love never varies. No matter how cold our love to Him,, how selfish or self-centered, disobedient or neglectful we may be come, He does not alter in any way His love to us. His love neither diminishes nor cools. It is unquenchable. Sometimes we become disillusioned with those we love. So we re strain our love. Often a coolness springs up between us Rut our l.ord is never disillusioned with us. He knows us. He understands us. He forgive us, and keeps pn loving us with the same intensity. His love is unlike all other loves It is divine. So is the love which He imparts us, and which may be implanted in our hearts, if we will let it. This is the love that draws humanity to Christ, woos and wins men and women, and melts hardened hearts. PRAYER Our Father, we thank Thee for that unchangeable and eternal love of Christ. May our knowledge of that love grow more and more. Grant that we may expe rience Thy love in our lives. May we make it known to f others, that they may be warmed and comforted, even as we are. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY We who accept Christ’s love are to convey it to others Mary Bryson (British Columbia! list Chun h.

HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist You’d have to call 1961 one ofierally good weather for crops. the fat years Information now drifting in shows that farmers may be breaking all kinds of production records this year. The cost-price squeeze, which lingers on, may restrict farm profits. But the barns and storehouses should be jam-packed full, nevertheless. Here’s why you can stop wor rying about the food supply If the transportation system gets smashed in some kind of national emergency, just remember that this happened in South Carolina. I’ll relate reports from Dr. M. C. Rochester, Clemson extension ag ricultural economist, and the South Carolina Crop Reporting Service: ‘‘Wheat and barley yields this year were the highest ever, an average ot 24 and 35 bushels an acre, respectively. "South Carolina tobacco farm ers, on the average, made 1,875 iwunds per acre this year. This is the highest on record. “On the average, South Caro lina farmers produced more corn per acre than any time in history —34 bushels an acre. “Hay production was the high est on record, as was peaches, and grapes “The soybean crop—becoming increasingly important — will yield an estimated 21 bushels an acre if present estimates are cor rect. This is the highest ever for South Carolina." What were things like during the lean years? I’ll cite from the Clemson Agronomy Handbook- one of our best sources of know ledge for farm crops: It was 191^) before wheat yields ever exceeded 10 bushels an acre. It was 1946 before farmers, on the average, could produce more than 15 bushels of wheat. Corn yields were 10.5 bushels in 1934 and 1954. In addition to reflecting gen- the high yields also show the results of improved techniques of farming Meeting the competition is one of the characteristics of present day farming. High economical yields are one of the efficiencies of production which permU farm ers to stay in business despite in creasing costs and decreasing farm prices. * * • Last year farm cooperatives, exclusive of electric and credit associations, did a 35 million dol lar business in South Carolina, according to R. D. Steer, Clem- son extension cooperative mar keting specialist, Greenwood. This may he a little surprising to some who have the impression that cooperatives just didn’t work as well in the South. “We have 70 cooperatives ope rating in South Carolina besides the 69 eJectric and credit asso ciations. The seventy coopera lives have more titan 55,000 members. These people have formed the cooperatives because of a need for better markets or new ser vices. And they have a great deal of pride and confidence in their organizations The business from marketing and bargaining by cooperatives amounted to about 30 million dol lars last year. The value of pur chases and services was about 6 million. Now, hold your breath. Add to this the volume of business done by credit and electric coopera tives and you get a total of about $100,000,000,000.00. I’ve heard it said that wherever you find a thriving agricultural area, you’ll find successful co operatives along with other types of business organizations * • • C. C. Moore, I>ong Creek, South Carolina, in his eighties, is one of 250 young trees It takes from 4 to 7 years, you know, for most apple trees to bear. If Mr Moore can look to the future with optimism, he can also look back at a long and eventful life He recalls that his grand mother. .to a young girl, remem bers the Cherokee Indians com ing hack to trade at Long Creek How long ago this was, we are not able to determine accurately. But I do recall reading in an old issue of the Keowee Courier, an early up-country newspaper, that the last town of Indians of the Cherokee nation moved from Long Creek, South Carolina, into Georgia in 1798 * • • Farmers who plan to plant cot ton next spring might profit by liming demonstrations which farmers and county agents put on this year. Limed plots in Aiken county produced 385 pounds more seed cotton than unlimed plots in the same field, according to Aiken County Agent J H. Evans. This astounding result was obtained In spite of an original pH of 6 0 You might call your own coun ty agent for first hand results in your area Extension Agronomist H V. Rogers is trying to pull all the demonstration results togeth er When he gets this, we’ll pass it on to you t * * Here’s another triumph for the machine It surely won't help your infe- rioirty complex, but the cold, hard, impersonal machine has beaten us again. Word from ginners and cotton quality experts is to the effect that machine-picked cotton this year was better than hand-pick ed. This (s the reason: The ma chine will not pick the hard, dis eased locks that cause a depres sion in grade and weakened fiber strength, according to S. A. Wil liams.
