Why Was The Bible Given?
From the lack of interest in religion, and in
all that is sacred and eternal in its nature, it is
quite evident that there is a woeful lack of under
standing and appreciation as to why the Bible
was given: and the purpose it is intended to
serve. The way people use the Bible, it is evi
dent that the vast majority have never seriously
considered this important question: Why was the
Bible given ? Let us seek a Bible answer.
1. The Bible was given to produce faith:
Faith is necessary on the part of everyone who
desires to be saved. “Without faith it is impos
sible to please Him: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder
of them that diligently seek him.” Heb. 11:6;
Without faith there is no way for one to please
God. Everything that man has ever done that
pleased God, was done by, or through faith. Jesus
said, “If ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die
in your sins.” Jon. 8:24; But how does this faith
come? We’ll let the Bible answer this question:
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing
by the word of God.” Rom. 10:17.
2. The Bible was given to reveal truth:
Without truth we can never be free from sin.
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free.” Jon. 8:32; Christ said to the
apostles, “Howbeit when the spirit of truth is
come, he will guide you into all truth.” Jon.
16:13; All religious truth is revealed in the Bible.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is
truth.” Jon. 17:17.
3. The Bible was given to furnis all we
need: Nothing is needed in order to be saved from
sin, and go to heaven when this life is over, but
what we can learn from the Bible. Anything more
than the Bible is too much, and anything less
than the Bible is not enough. “According as his
divine power hath given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and
virtue.” 2 Pet. 1:3;
4. The Bible was given that we might have
the divine nature: To make us like God, to give
us his likeness. “Whereby are given unto us ex
ceeding great and precious promises, that by
these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the
world through lust.” 2 Pet. 1:4;
5. The Bible was given that God might
speak to man: God does want to talk to man: He
has a message for man. When we pray we talk
to God, but when we read the Bible, that is God
talking to us: telling us what he wants us to '
know, and how he wants us to live, serve and
worship Him as His children. “All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in right
eousness:—That the man of God may be per
fect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
£Tim. 3:16-1.7;
6. The Bible was given to guide us in wor-
snip: “God is a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
Jon. 4:24; To worship in spirit, we must have the
right attitude, must be sincere and humble; we
must prepare ourselves to worship God. To wor
ship in truth, we must worship as the truth di
rects. “Thy word is truth.” Jon. 17:17; God will
accept in worship only what He has commanded
or authorized. Study the Bible, the Bible is right.

DAIRYMAN—In the picture shown

Riddle Believes Dairy Timely
Farming Has A Future
BY M.L. OUTZ
County Agent
All over the U.S., people will
be celebrating the 34th annual
June Dairy Month. We sould like
to honor our dairymen by saying
thanks for a job well done. Dairy
farmers are probably the
hardest workers in our country.
They are up early and work pro
bably longer hours than any ot
her group in our nation, so hats
off to a group that keeps the
nation growing and healthy with
a delicious and wholesome pro
duct. Why not celebrate by
drinking a glass of good, cold
fresh milk, and having a cup of
delicious ice cream.
Don Riddle believes that
dairying has a future. He has
just invested in a new milking
parlor, a grain feeding system,
and a herd of cows. Don has,
along with his Dad, purchased
the Ernest Sloan place near
Fountain Inn, and they are now
going general farming along
with the dairying. Don has 65
cows that produce about 12,500
lbs. each. He has 80 acres of
corn, he plants temporary graz
ing for his herd, and of course,
he uses the corn for silage and
grain. He also sows barley and
oats. Don has had previous ex
perience with dairying, along
with his Dad. He sold out a herd
in Greenville County sometime
back and set himself up on the
Sloan farm two years ago. He
is one of the newcomers in the
dairy business in Laurens
County.
Dairy farmers contribute
more to the local economy than
any other segment of agricul
ture. Petroleum dealers, ma
chine dealers, chemical dealers
and seed dealers, all depend
heavily on the dairy farmers
for their existence. Several

unty have 200-300 acres of
corn highly fertilized - need
less to point out the enormous
amount of equipment, gasoline,
labor, chemicals, etc. used in
producing this crop. Not many
of our consumers realize the in
vestment dairy farmers have,
and so I say, hats off to the
fine, hard-working group of
farmers.
* * * ,
I have seen some of the best
gardens that I believe I have
ever seen this spring. It seems
that more and more of our peo
ple are participating in gardens.
Mrs. Everett Martin was by the
office this week, saying that she
already has string beans and
fresh tomatoes. Congratu
lations to Mrs. Martin. I also
visited with Col. Barnett to see
his garden this week, and he has
many fresh vegetables I believe
ready to come off. Also, he has
some scuppernongs, plums, ap
ples, and pecans in his yard.
All of this he enjoys and says
he enjoys taking care of it, and
enjoys gardening. It seems to
me that more of our people
should have gardens and enjoy
these fresh vegetables. Also,
fruits .are very easily grown.
Col. Barnett says he uses a lot
of fertilizer and that is one of
the reasons why he has good
fruits and vegetables. There are
many good gardens I see as I
travel up and down the roads,
and I know those who have them
will enjoy the fruits of their
efforts from now until frost.
Farm Operators
Should Know
About SS Reports
Summer is just around the
corner and farm operators are
all ready in “high gear”. Some
wiU be hiring help this season
and need to know that a social
security report may be re
quired. Many farm workers fail
to qualify for social security
benefits because farm opera
tors do not report their wages,
according toJ.E. Gunter, Field
Representative, Greenwood So
cial Security Office.
All farmers who employ part-
time or full-time employees
should keep complete records
on each person. The record
should show the name, social
security number, days worked
and the amount earned.
If a farmer pays an indivi
dual $150 or more in a calen
dar year, he must report the
wages. If a worker performs
some work on any part of 20
days in a calendar year on a
time basis, those wages must be
reported. These reports on
farm work are made in January
following the end of the calendar
year in which Jhls work is done.
This report is not optional, but
is required by the law.
FINAL SETTLEMENT
Take notice that on the 25th
day of August, 1970, I will ren
der a final account of my acts
and doings as Administrator of
the estate of Edward Walker,
Sr. in the office of the Judge of
Probate of Laurens County, at
3 p.m., and on the same day will
apply for a final discharge from
my trust as Administrator.
Any person indebted to said
estate is notified and required
to make payment on or before
that date, and all persons hav
ing claims against said estate
win present them on or before
said date, duly proven or be
forever barred.

SOUTHERN PEAS - Some
years ago T.W. Bolt of Rt. 3
told me to plant crowder peas
sbout the middle of June and
they would be free of worms
and weevils, Mr. Bolt is right-
we suggest that you plant your
peas about the middle of June,
especially those that you want
to use for freezing and canning.
An earlier row may be planted,
but you will have worms in them
unless you dust regularly. The
varieties recommended are as
follows: Knuckle Purple Hulled
Crowder, Mississippi Silver,
Floricream.
COTTON INSECT CON
TROL - Cotton farmers should
take every precaution to check
their fields for weevils, as the
cotton begins to square. An ap
plication of insecticides should
be put on to prevent weevils
from laying eggs in squares.
The over-wintered weevils
should be killed to prevent an
increase in weevil population
later in the season. We suggest
that you keep close watch on
your fields.
ALWAYS USE A SMALL
BRUSH to clean food graters and
parers. You will save wear and
tear on hands and ish cloths.

County Agent
Pork-O-Rama Field Day has
been scheduled for South Caro
lina. This is saluting the Swine
industry of the State, and it is
an educational event for all
those who are interested in pork
production. The program is
scheduled for June 17, at the
State Fairgrounds in Columbia.
Featured speakers will be Gov.
McNair, the President of the
National Livestock Association
- David H. Stroud, also Robert
A. Darr, President of the Fed
eral Land Bank in Columbia.
South Carolina is a deficit
State in pork production, yet
this is one of the most profit
able types of livestock enter
prises. Hogs convert grain at
the rate of about 3 1/2 lbs.
to 1 pound of pork. They are
just about twice as good con
verters as cattle. So, it isn’t
hard to figure, as swine feed
ing is far more profitable than
cattle feeding. Looking over
the summary of the recent feed
er pig sale at Saluda, we find
that 60 lb. feeder pigs sold
for $28. This indicates that the
feeder pig production certainly
has a place in South Carolina
agriculture. It also shows that
where grain is produced, it is
profitable to feed this grain
through livestock.
I have just met with Tom Huff
man, Agriculture Teacher at
Hickory Tavern, and Mr. Tom
Copeland, President of the
Farm Bureau, and it is our hope
that we will have a good turn
out in attendance from Laurens
County. The program is being
sponsored by various agri
cultural agencies, together with
meat packers, State Fair, Farm
Credit Bank, Southern Rail
road, and other organizations. I
plan to attend, and carry a load.
Boll Weevil - Reports come to
us that the boll weevil’s survi
val is very low. In fact, the low
est since 1940. This is good news
to farmers; however, I want to
suggest that farmers make ev
ery effort to stay in the field
and to know what is going on
from a standpoint of insects.
This is much cheaper than get
ting on a schedule and spend
ing $3 to $5 an acre each week.
I do want to encourage pro
ducers, however, to spray early
and kill those that have over-
w ntered. This will prevent ap
plications late on in the season
and will assure farmers a
higher yield in the end.
I also would like to suggest
that farmers wait until cotton
begins to square before apply
ing nitrogen.
Soybean growers should
check their planters and see that
8 to 10 seed are dropped per
foot As you know, soybean*
vary in size - some varieties
may have as few as 2,500 seed
per lb., while others have 3,-
500. So you can see that you
would plant a lot more small
seed per acre than you would
the large seed.
