Some People Already
Have Pruned Trees
BY M. L. OUTZ
County Agent
Last week’s weather spoiled a
good many people. I saw a num
ber of people pruning fruit trees
and grape vineyards. Well it’s
time. February is here, so we
can expect to get a few warm
days along. However, let’s not
get to enthused as we are sure
to have some more bitter cold
days yet.
I was looking at some informa
tion from Ray Ferrie, our Hor-
ticulturest at Clemson, and we
find that peach trees have already
all the chill hours needed. So
look out, they’ll be blooming the
first extended pretty spell. I
noticed a maple tree with buds
swollen. But nature has a way of
controlling those early buds.
The cold weather we had re
cently was the coldest I can re
member in this county. Some
say we have had colder. I have
a small pond and the ice has
never been as thick as it was
during that coldest period. It
was fully an inch thick. The
temperature might have been as
low, but may be not as long as
period of time. Floyd Coates told
me that it put him back to the
depression years in as much as
the plumbing in his house was
frozen up.
I had a calf born the coldest
night. The temperature was two
degrees. He survived and is do
ing well. Nature some how takes
care of things that man doesn’t
bother too much. My wife wanted
to bring the calf in the house,
being a city girl. It probably
would have died had we done it.
One thing for sure we will have
a good many shrubs damaged
from the cold. I noticed Aze-
leas leaves in many instances
are burned and probably the bud
have been damaged. Camellias
blooms have frozen, as I have
discovered in many cases. The
bark and cambium layer on young
trees and shrubs may have fro
zen. This doesn’t usually slow up
until later in the summer when
we have a dry spell.
I’ve tried for several years to
get some figs started at my home
but I haven’t had much luck. The
freezes seem always a step a-
head of me. But I always try
again because a good fig adds a
lot to your living.
For you who like sweet corn
I’m trying to get local seed stores
to handle the new silver queen
variety. It is the best I’ve ever
tasted.

“Shoe” Sabotage

Catholic Pentecostals. By Kevin and John
Ranagrhan. 266 papres. Paulist Press Deus Books.
1969.
Catholisicm in the United States both reflects
and is reflected in the American experience. That
is what this '.survey by John Tracy Ellis, an emi
nent Catholic historian, is all about. It points up
again a relationship too often underestimated as to
its complexity, namely, the reciprocal influence at
work between a religious group and the society in
which it exists.
Ellis’ survey is chronological. Roman Catholi
cism came to the colonies in three major European
styles: the Spanish in Florida and in the Old South
west, the French along the Canadian border and in
Mississippi River settlements, and the English
along the Atlantic coast, particularly in Maryland.
Each style had its own strengths and weaknesses.
For most of the nation’s history, from 1790 to
the First World War, many if not most of the
church’s major problems revolved around the im
migrant. Ethnic tensions and language differen
ces between oldtimers and newcomers had to be ac
complished within the church, while pressure from
nativist movements outside the church made as
similation into the mainstream of American life
that much more difficult.
By 1908, as the influence (and wealth) of
American Catholicism came to be recognized in
Rome, the United States ceased to be regarded by
the church as a missionary territory. The increas
ing participation of Catholic laymen in civic and
parish life, and, most recently, the general recep
tiveness of Catholics to changes emanating from
the Second Vatican Council, are further indications
of the coming of age of American Catholicism.
Ellis’ book is a companion volume to Win-
throp Hudson’s American Protestanism and Na
than Glazer’s American Juadism. The three to
gether make an excellent introduction to the three
major religious traditions in the United States and
also to some neglected aspects of our national his
tory.
Catholic Pentecostals describes one of the
more remarkable developments in recent American
Catholicism: the emergence of charismatic groups
on university campuses such as Notre Dame,
Pittsburgh, and Michigan State. The mystical ex
perience described as "baptism in the Holy Spirit”
includes the practice of "speaking in tongues” and
is accompanied by a profound sense of inner joy.
This account, written by two leaders in the move
ment, includes testimonials from participants, a
theological rationale for such things, and some
discussion of similar manifestations in earlier
times.
Those who are acquainted with similar phe
nomena within Protestanism will find this an in
teresting contribution to the literature.
There is no better or more elegant way to say Happy Valentine’s
Day than with a gift from our fine selection, designed to please
even the most discriminating sweetheart.
