Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind Is
stayed on thee: because he trnsteth in thee. (Isaiah
. '■ 26:3) L—' ' .

A chaplain has told of an experience during World War II: His
outfit had moved four times during the night and now was resting
in a grove of olive trees in one of the most beautiful spots of the
Po River Valley in Italy.. There was a lull in the fighting. It was
Sunday, a balmy, springlike day, and the chaplain was preparing
to hold services.
He waited as the men assembled. As he waited, he wondered
just what he should say to them. None of his sermons previously
seemed to fit. As he thumbed through his Bible, his eyes came to
the book of Isaiah and the words of our text.
This was what he needed—God’s perfect peace! That was his
message to his men that day. They were led to see that no matter
what their outward circumstances might be, they could experience
the perfect peace as they put their trust in Him.
PRATER
O God, teach us to trust in Thee. When we are faced
with trouble and anxiety, help us to look to Thee for
Thy guidance into'the peace the world cannot give or
take away. Keep us in Thy love, and help us to love
Thee now and evermore. In the name of Christ we
pray. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
No matter what our outward c.rcumstances may be, we can
know the perfect pace of God. • .

Three members of the board
of supervisors of the Laurens
County Soil Conservation Dis
trict were reelected last Tues
day in voting conducted at the
agricuture building.
Sam B. Fleming of Ora, Ry
an F. Lawson of the Hopewell
community, and James D.
Wasson of Hickory Tavern,
were all reelected for three-
year terms. »
Also serving on the board are
J. W. Tinsley of Rt. 3, Laurens,
and W..P. Dickson of Rt. 3,
Clinton, both appointed by the
State Soil Conservation Com
mittee. All of these members
serve without pay and have
long years of service on the
Laurens Board of District Con
servation. They are to be com
mended for giving their time
and talents to the worthy
cause.

Tree planting in the. district
is now getting underway after
being held up for several weeks
due to bad weather. The first
load of seedlings, 160,000, was
received from the Piedmont
Nursery near Pickens last
week. The Laurens Soil Conser
vation District's tree-planting
crew is now helping landown
ers in planting their seedlings.
Also many farmers are doing
their own planting. Many thou*
sands of acres in the county
have been planted to pines in
the last ten years. Most of
these wre planted under the
Soil Bank program. We still
have many acres of steep,
eroded and gullied land that
are better suited to pines than
IQ OF A MALLARD
How intelligent are wild ducks?
This tale, which may give a
hint, was told by J. Si Mclnerny,
Jr., of Mount Pleasant:
About 25 big Mallard ducks
were wunk wunking—just out of
gunshot range—on the marsh
water near Charleston. Mclnerny
and Pat O’Rear, also of Mount
Pleasant, were in a nearby boat.
“The ducks were feeding con
tentedly, talking among them
selves. As he watched, another
flight appeared overhead. One
of the ducks on the water gave
a loud call and the flight turned
and put in beautifully beside the
feeding ducks. A second flight ap
peared, heard the “all clear”
from below, and joined those on
the water.
“The peaceful feeding contin
ued until one duck raised his
head high, (apparently suspect
ing me)) All the duck chatter
stopped immediately.
“I now observed the dpcks
working themselves into a tighter
grouping—as if to have a confer
ence among themselves.
“After a brief ,period in this
huddle, four ducks left .the group
—swimming somewhat in my di
rection as if to act as decoys, j
When they had separated them
selves by some distance, the
foursome slowed their paddling
and suddenly turned toward the
larger group
corn, peaches, and hay.
These totals do not include the
value of such farm production as
dairying, poultry, beef, and
swine which are classified under
livestock.
If you think we’re doing pretty
good in crop production, look at
California, Texas, Illinois, and
Iowa: each of these states pro
duced more than a billion dollars
worth of the 78 crops reported.

It would be a shame to waste this chance to drive one of
Buick’s lively sport models, wouldn’t it? Especially consid
ering your Buick dealer's so close, and the price is so nice.
That’s what the Sports Car Rally is all about. And they’re
all luxurious enough to make you wonder why anybody’d
settle for a two-seater. A finely tuned production 340 hp

Florida. (So who’s surprised? Not Wildcat owners.)

Newberry County, which
counts dairying among its more
favored farm enterprises and is
one of the state’s top three dairy
counties, has come up with two
astounding national production
records.
An overly generous two-year-
old Jersey owned by Henry L.
Parr. Newberry, has captured a
national production record for
her age class by giving forth with
an amazing 15,140 pounds of milk
and 842 pounds of butter fat in a
305-day milking period.

Estimated total U.

at $21.4 billion, according to
USDA sources in Washington.
This compared with $20.3 billion
for 1962. ”
According to a recent report of
the South Carolina Crop Report
ing Service, the value of princi
pal field crops, fruits, and vege

Ranked in descending order of

crops in South Carolina last year
