TtNNfSSft I Hi WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE Read Hebrews 4:9-16 We have &>t a high priest who is unable to sym pathise with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sinning. (Hebrews 4:15, RSV) A minister I know has to walk by aid of a pair of crutches at all times. When he goes into a sickroom in a home or a hospital, immediately the people feel a oneness with him. They know this is a man who feels for them not in words alone. He has been where they are. He can understand them. The Son of God restricted Himself in becoming a human being. He know hunger and weariness, loneliness and be trayal, trouble and pain. He was tempted and knew the full agony of temptation. Therefore when we talk to Jesus Christ, we know that He understands us; He has been where we are. He understands the conditions of our lives and needs, and the needs of others for whom we pray. We can come to Him with confidence in any human situation, knowing that He understands and cares. PRAYER Our Father, we thank Thee for Thy Son Jesus, who knows our weaknesses and our strength and loved us enough to give Himself for us, even while we were yet sinners. Forgive and make us strong, for we come to Thee and offer our prayer in His name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY I can pray with confidence because God understands. William K.

OFFICE SUPPLIES CHRONICLE PUB. CO. NEMATODES IN YOUR GARDEN? If your okra, cucumbers, and tomatoes begin to cut out during droughty periods this spring or summer, look for nematodes. According to J. T. Garrett,- Clemson Extension horticul turist, okra is veVy sensitive to these little worms. Cucum bers and tomatoes are too. “If the plants look weak ened, sickly, and yellow, but without apparent cause, an inspection of the roots may show the trouble. , “Infested plants will have numerous knots or galls on the rots; These enlargements indicate the presence of root- knot nematodes.” Nematodes, sometimes called eelworms, are so small they are invisible without a microscope. But if you have good eyesight, you may per haps see the pear-shaped fe males without one. These tiny worms over-win ter in the galls of infested roots or the soil. After mat ing, the females look for ten der roots and lay several hun dred eggs in them. After hatching, the miuute worms look for other tender roots to feed on. The life cycle may be completed in a month. The presence of nematodes in the soils of South Caro lina is believed to be more widespread than is generally recognized. Looking for dis tressed plants during drough ty periods may help you lo cate an infestation. If found, there is little you can do to erase the infesta tion from the current crop. But for the next crop, you can be prepared. Ask your county agent for Clemson Ex tension Circual 382, “Control ling Nematodes in South Carolina.” Garrett says most garden ers are using such material as Ncrragon, Fumazone, D-D Mixture, or Vidden-D. These ■■ .r are applied in the furrow about a week before planting. Ethylene dibromide or me thyl bromide (used under a plastic sheet) may also be used. The circular mentions other materials and controls for other crops. COOL YOUR FRESH SWEET CORN What makes “fresh” sweet corn better? R. A. Baumgardner of Clemson says the quality of «weet corn is delated to the Man of the Quarter amount of sugar remaining in the kernels after harvest, but this sugar doesn’t like to stay there. Refrigerating your corn af ter harvesting or buying will help retain its quality. You shouldn’t attempt to keep com for long periods. Use if quickly. Com has an extremely high rate of respiration at room temperatures. This 1 reduced and the conversion usgars to starches is si when the com is refrigerate^. The rate of sugar loss is re duced by about one-half for each 18 degree reduction in tempreature. The loss be comes slower after half of the sugars have been lost. But then the com has lost most oif its quality. DBOSIT AT ANT COIOMAI STATION %UT OUnODAYL „ ! DRIVE FREE FOR ONE YEAR!
