my Jot about 15 years ago. 1 w?s
pallbearer, along with o Other men,
for a substantial citizen of my lu He
town who had died suddenly. Ho
was a fine citizen ami had l.v?d a
Useful life and everybody loved and
respected him. (Ho weigned about
'Jit, pounds.)
I wore a light linen suit to thi*
funeral. Tbe day of the week was
Sunday. The month of the year was
August. The time of the day was
a p. m., rather early for such an
occasion. The temperuturo was
al,out ! ? in the shade, but there
wasn't any shade. Over 15U0 people
aUt-nded this funeral.

the corpse to a po.nl near tin fiont(
door. ' The pallbearer.-, had taken
their places and began to ^iischiiigiftheir
duty of carry tag the casket to
the cemetery, about Out) yards distant.
Just as 1 made my first step, I saw
a yellow-jacket walking over my
shoestring-, evidently using them
for >u?u *lcp.-?. He was slow ly but
surely ma king,his way up my br:lc.jes ;
leg. lie was the biggest and yellow- !

realizes that he owned a stinger at

disappear under the cuff of my pants.

my foot, hoping to shake him down,
hut lie stuck to his job of moving on.
He soon passed the top of my sock.
1 was sweating great gomtns of perspiration.
My face was red and my
eyes y.ere blue, watery and wobbly.
I tried to mash him between the coffin
and my knee, but he wus loo far
over. K very body seemed to be watching
me.

Use Rented Acres
For Sake of Land
Clem,son College, Fob. 17.?To the
many cotton farroern who have tallied
to provide adequately for the fain*
lily living and livestock fwdsttlffl
: from the farm, l>r. NV, W. Ivong, di|
rector of the Extension Service, calls
attention again to the fact that the
cotton contract being signed by farmers
permits and encourages the
production uf food and feed for home
sujiptk'A on the rented acres. Since
low yields from lands set aside heretofore
for growing home supplies are
partly responsible for this shortage
of home-grown foods and feeds, Dr.
Long suggests that a double result of
soil enrichment and food and feet!
production may be accomplished- by
increasing legume crops, permanent
| pasture and the like.
In this connection here Is what J.
J'hil Campbell . of the Replacement
Crops Section? AAA, says as to use
of contracted acres:
"Any farmer whose land produces
,V?.- than one-half bale of cotton per
ace will make a serious mistake if
lie does not plant the contracted acres
tt !e-pt de/.a, cow peas, soybeans or
other legume crops.
"Legume crops include many varieties.
There is a legume suitable
for almost every part of the cotton
belt. Lc-spedeza Is widely adapted to
cotton growing lands. I here is an
abundance of lospedeza seed available
The method of seeding is simple, and
the time of planting in the cotton
belt will range from January 1 ">, to
March. L>. This is the time of the
year when the farm labor is available
for terracing and planting to soilimproving
and erosion-preventing
crops. No crop will tU into this program
better than lespedeza.
"Erosion or washing removes about
twenty times as much soil fertility
per acre as crops taken out each
year. Wherever in the South the soil
i.> not held by freezing, the loss of
plant food from erosion in the winter
is serious.
"Improved pastures are needed and
would more than pay their way in
ahno-L every cotton-growing region.
Loth permanent and temporary pastures
might well he grown on much
<>f reacted c<?ttop acreage."

A Garden Pays
In Many Ways
The home vegetable garden is an
important factor in providing an adequate
food supply. A garden that
furnishes a family of five with:
nourishing food throughout the year,
will save about $(5i>o.oo in money and1
much more in doctor's bills and med- j
icinos. The need of tonics and other .
medicines in the spring of the year J
is due largely to lack of vegetables
in the winter diet, (ireen vegetables;
are valuable for their supply of min-1
orals and vitamins that are so essent
in; to good health. i

d.rtfetiotis are given for making them:
Location. Select an eastern or
sout heastern exposure, preferably
against a building, fence, or hedge

prevent too rapid growth Props of

Keep the bed moist but not soggy.
One of the Lest suggestions for the
use of land taken out of cotton is to
use it for enlarging and improving
the home garden so that the family
will have not only a more plentiful
hut also a better food supply. It has

of seeds for a general list of vegetables
including potatoes, should not j
