HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist Time’s a-waisting if you haven’t been stirring in the gar den or plowing in the fields. This crop year is on the verge of start ing. This year’s spring planting schedule for major field crops— together with a glance at the cal endar—shows that some farmers will be planting corn March 2, just a few short days away. Clemson’s planting guide ad vises letting local experience be your best guide about the actual time, but field corn should be in the ground before April 30, so as to hit the summer rains (we hope) while the com is in the tas sel. Gardeners will plant sweet corn on through the summer and perhaps even grow a fall crop. Golden Crbss Bantam and Seneca Chief are the sweet com varie ties Clemson horticulturists sug gest for the entire state, but Aristogold Bantam Evergreen is another variety Up-Staters may select. But the really big investment will be in field corn—a crop val ued at 29.4 million dollars in State Crop Reporting Service a few days ago gave the 1963 acre-| in Carolina. This appears age harvested in South Carolina as 526,000 acres—up 39,000 from the previous year. J. T. McAlister, Orangeburg, conservation equipment engi neer, wrote me about a recent story on potentials for increasing com production. “I found,” McAlister says, “that a farmer could get the same gross returns from 26 acres as compared to one acre of to bacco.” McAlister computed this esti- judged on a single year’s value of production, but acreage— showing how farmers committed themselves financially and with their labor—may give a clue as to which way things are going. There was a 33,000 acre in crease in hay harvested last year mate statistics for 1962, and he added, j^corn harvested “Of course tobacco farmers may not have these additional acres but with land coming out of the South Carolina last year. The soil bank and the possibilities for renting adjacent land’ it is some thing tobacco farmers might well consider. McAlister is an authority on mulch tillage. If you’re interested in this subject, you might check with him at his Orangeburg of fice or write to him at P .0. Drawer 504. • » • Trends cannot be accurately to signify some increased inter est in cattle and commercial hay sales, perhaps both. The Crop Reporting Service re port issued in January also shows com silage acreage up 4,000 acres. Rye, used in winter graz ing programs, was also up 3,000 acres. Sorghum forage increased by 3,000 acres. Winter wheat acreage was up 14,000 acres, but oats and barley dropped slightly in acreage. The big 3t,000-acre increase in (vfrith its more than 4-million bushel increase) also has overtones for livestock. Soybean acreage continued to increase in 1963, up 70,000 acres from the previous year, and now 710,000. Value of production in creased to $33,192,000, quoting the Crop Reporting Service again. Soybean meal is a key feed supplement for livestock, valued chiefly for its high quality pro tein. Soybeans are grown mainly for cash sales, but they have some significance in the livestock world.

(1 Corinthians 15:58. RSV.) American Jazz Ensemble It is easy to give thanks unto the Lord with words. Many times we have said “Thank You, Lord” for gomejgreat kindness or mercy He has bestowed upon us. However, it is most difficult at times to show thankfulness through our actions. Men and nations judge our opinions of and our reverence for God by our actions. If our actions are inconsistent with our pro fession of faith, we present a confusing, untrue picture of God’s | love and saving power. God Himself judges our thankfulness by the harmony between out outward actions and our innermost thoughts. When these two things are not in harmony, we are poor workers in His vineyard. The world measures our gratitude to God by our actions. God measures our gratitude by our consistency—the matching of our actions with our words. PRAYER Gracious God, search our hearts and point ont our weaknesses. For Thy sake help us to become Thy true witnesses in the world by professing our faith in Christ and living in obedience to Thee, with grateful hearts. We pray in the name of Christ, who taught us to pray, “Our Father who art in heaven . . . Amen. m mm 4 'mm Edgewater Club, Inc., to Wil liam H. Hensley, lot in Edgewa ter Club Subdivision for $89.00.

C.—A veteran retailer and head of a Southern chain won the award of “First Citizen of Furnitureland, U.S.A.,” bestowed from time to time for industry service at the Southern Furniture Market. Donor is the Southern Furniture Exposition Building. A formal business meeting of some 30 store managers of the Maxwell Brothers Furniture chain was interrupted for the ceremony honoring President Grover C. Maxwell. Obviously surprised and pleased, Mr. Max well was presented with a gold- leaf, lifetime pass to the Southern Furniture Exposition Building by Leo J. Heer, managing director. In making the presentation Mr. Heer noted that: “This is an award that cannot be actively sought by Its recipients, because it is not made on an announced or scheduled basis, nor is there a fixed formula of qualifications or achievements. However, you join a very small and select group of individuals who have earned the title of ‘A First Citizen of Furnitureland, U. S. A.’ FINE PRINTING OFFICE SUPPUES .

In so doing, you and your associates have built a most important and successful chain of retail furni ture stores. This pass is a token of your award which I hope win convey always the esteem in which you are held.” Grover C. Maxwell began his retail furniture career in 1907 when he joined his two brothers as bookkeeper in the operation of Morgan and Maxwell, a store which had first opened its doors in 1904. A short time later the three Maxwell brothers purchas ed the Morgan interests, and from this modest beginning ex panded into an organization op erating 30 retail furniture stores in Georgia, North and South Carolina. In the 1920’s Mr. Maxwell made his first buying trip to the South ern Furniture Exposition Build ing, and for over 35 years has been a famjliar figure in the Building’s Exhibit spaces at ev ery market. The markets here have also become the scene of the only merchandising meetings, which the parent company holds, at which all of its store managers are in attendance. Present officers of the parent company are G. C. Maxwell, president: R. J. Maxwell, vice- president; J. V. Maxwell, secre tary and G. C. Maxwell, Jr. treasurer. The firm operates a store in Clinton, with Charles G. Buice as manager. - : :*V The Revelers Male Quartet Community Concert In Full Swing Next Week The membership drive for the 1964-65 Community Concert Program takes on full force next week.
