(Isaiah . '■ 26:3) L—' ' . ■' ft 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. • . Katherine Bevis (Texas) Conservation • Notes By J. B. O’DELL Work Unit Conservationist FARMS AND FOLKS By L. C. HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist 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. • • • TO BETTER WITHSTAND COLD .“Live stock should be well fed, kept dry and clean during winter months: this helps keep down losses and gives animals a bet ter start in the spring,” L. F. Cato, acting extension animal science leader at Clemson, says. He says worming and spraying for lice is an aid in winter care also. any othefcNise. We need to put these acfes to work by plant ing them to pines. • • • - . Claude Lawson has just fin ished a farm pond on his cat tle farm near Joanna. This will give his cattle a permanent source of wliter and is the third pond to be built by Mr. Lawson for this purpose. * • * James T. Blakely, just above Wattsville, finished .a farm pond the last week in Decem ber. Hunter Brothers. Construc tion Company folloVdd SCS surveys in doing the required clearing and earth moving in completing the job in time for Mr. ’Blakely to qualify for ACP cost-sharing help. The deadline for this was December 31, 1963. • * • C. L. Chapman of Mountville also recently finished a pond on his farm. This will mean a per manent source of water in one section of his pasture. This practice was carried out as one part of the complete soil and water conservation plan for this farm. Cross Hill News MRS. HAROLD AUSTIN. Correspondent ONARY A.

C. lit-' *»■ , ( 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.

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 tables produced in South Caro lina in 1963 was $310,838,000.
