Prophecy Being Fulfilled In Palestine Buttineee improved so fast in Palestine in 1983-1934 that a decline was faared during the uext twelve months. But the annual report of the British Government to the league of Nations! ays that "actually the peak' conditions of 1933-1934 were far exceeded in 1934-1933." A few year* ago, In the early days of Jewish colonisation, it took more than sixty aoree of land to support a family. Today, with irrigation and intensive cultivation, only five acres are needed. Great stretches of waste and sandy soil along the shores of the Mediterranean, north and south of Jaffa, have been transformed into beautiful orange groves. During the past year more than 7,030,000 boxes of oranges were exported from Palestine. The Dead Bea waters contain abundance of potash and bromine, two mineral salts in great demand In the modern world, The Palestine Potash, Limited, Is an international company, consisting of both Jews and Gentiles, organized to extract and market the salts. It is estimated that the potential value of the potash, bromine, and other salts of the Dead Bea water is four times the wealth of the United StateH. Palestine contains no natural harbor. Haifa was chosen as the most suitable city for the construction of a harbor, and It was built at a cost . of more than $5,000,000. It was opened two years ago, and already Haifa haw become one of the Important seaports of the Mediterranean. Haifa is also the western terminus of the great pipe line carrying oil almoat a thousand miles from Meaopotumia. Tankers In the harbor receive oil direct from this line. Over 9,000 were employed for more than eighteen months in laying the twelvein steel pipes electrically welded together, 5,500 tons of oil arrive at Haifa in a single day. One of the greatest enterprises in modern Palestine Is the Hutenberg hydro-electric power plant on the Jordan river, to furnish electric light and industrial power throughout the land. The plant, with Its three giant] turbines, a few miles south of the Hea of Galilee, has a capacity of 26,- i 500 horse power. Is this amazing prosperity iu the little land of Palestine, when the world still staggers under financial depression, simply the result of human effort and enterprise, or has It a deep?r significance? Those who believe the Bible are convinced that prophecies recorded centuries ago are rapidly being fulfilled in Palestine today. For example, in the Book of Isaiah, written more than 2,500 years ago, chapter 61, verse 4, are these words: "And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations." About the same time Jeremiah (chapter 31, verses 38-40) foretold the boundaries of the future Jerusalem, and it Is n fact that the city Is being rebuilt along those lines today. George T. B. Davis, a world travoler and writer of experience, traveled In Palestine this past summer. He tells of these remarkable developments, and many others, in a clear, concise, and thoroughly interesting style in a series of articles to begin in October in The Sunday School Times (Philadelphia). The articles will be Illustrated by photographs made only this summer during Mr. Davis' journey through the Holy l.and.-Sunday School Times. PROMISE8 ~ A politician Is In for rough nailing even though elected If his election is brought ubout by promises too difficult to fulfill. Take Oovernor Johnson. He promised to give the poople $3 automobile license platos and his failure on that has been a thorn In his flesh. Ho promised to oust Ben Sawyer from the highway commission and that has' given him no end of trouble. And theu be led the mill operatives to believe that he would not call out the militia during strikes and we saw last Monday morning what that led to. Governor Johnston got elected on extravagant promises, but we hardly believe he is enjoying life.?Laurens Advertiser. S. R. Rlchey, a farmer 61 years old. of Anderson county, was killed when s wagon load of cotton, drawn by mules, ran over his chest, as the team ran away, throwing him off the load. W ork has begun on a dam 1.000 feet long In Cheraw, which will flood 300 acres. Fight bathing beaches will be provided and 30 cabins built scattered around the lake for picnic purposes. CCC labor Is being used. Two hundred Chinese soldiers were killed and an equal number injured when a crowded troop train plunged from the rails Into a mountain canyon near Loyang. Honan province, in China. More Confidence In Used Car Market ' One of the meet significant change* that ha* taken place la the automotive world during the last few year* ie the attitude of the public toward the used car, according to W. T. Redfearu, local Ford dealer. "There was a time the average buyer was afraid of a used oar/' Mr. Redfearn aays. "He believed he wa* taking a chance whenever be purchased a car that had seen service In the hands of a previous owner. However, that condition no longer exist*, and the motor car dealers themselves have brought about this change In sentiment. "Reputable dealers realised that their reputations meant something to the people In their respective territories, and they placed those reputations back of their used cars, just as the manufacturers backed their new automobiles. They sepnt many thousands of dollars for modern equipment with which to prepare their used automobiles for service before they were offered to the public, and they saw to It that every used car was properly reconditioned before It was offered for sale. "Because of Ford's great sales volume, Ford dealers everywhere had large stocks of good used cars, and they led the way, so to speak, In the matter of guaranteeing the performance of their reconditioned automobiles. This built goood will and increased their new car sales as well as their used car business. o "Bo it has come to pass that the public now views the purchase of a used car with confidence, realising that the guarantee of the dealer will be fulfilled. "Thirty years ago Henry Ford said he was not just building and selling automobiles, but was furnishing transportation. And that is the attitude of the Ford dealer today. He is not thinking in terms of new cars only. He Is thinking In terms of transportation. So he takes the same interest in serving a used car customer as he does in serving the purchaser of a new 193G Ford V-8, and this Is one of the reasons why Ford dealers everywhere are enjoying such tremendous new car volume. "The used car market today is a buyer'B market. Prices are low aud quality Is high. Due to Ford's remarkable Bales records, Ford dealers have exceptional values In used cars this year. There can be no successful new car operation without a successful used car operation, and Ford dealers are getting their share of both new car and used car business as Ford V-8 sales roll on toward that goal of 'a million and more cars in 1935/ "We of the Ford dealer organization recognize that we are not in the new car business, but In the motor car business?the transportation business. Our obligation Is one of service whether the purchaser buys a used car or a 1935 Ford V-8." Terracing Progress Toward Soil Saving Clemson,. Sept. 21.?The terracing cumpaign in the Piedmont counties of the Htate is making fine progress toward saving the soils on thousands of furms. Reports from various counties indicate that farmers are gladly seizing the opportunity to conserve their land and its fertility. Reports from Newberry, Abbeville and Cherokee counties are representative. "Since the terracing work first began in Newberry county, 1,000 acres for 40 farmers, at an average cost of approximately $1.50 per acre, have boon terraced," says County Agont P. B. Kzeii. "iu addition to the above we have requests from over 60 farmers for work to be done this fall and winter, totaling about 3,000 acres. Farmers who have had an opportunity to observe and study this new type of terrace readily see its superiority over the old type, viz: No terrace banks to be cleaned off each year, water channel down in the subsoil, plant crops on the terrace bank, leaving practically no waste land." Z. D. Robertson, Abbeville county agent Bays: "The terracing program 1b progressing very satisfactorily. The CCC boys are at work at the present time on those farms where terracing has been completed. A few of the large gullies near the camp are being worked on, which will be used as demonstrations. The people are greatly interested In this work and wo will have plenty of work for the boya to do." From Cherokee, County Agent 8. C. Strlbllng reports: "The terracing program under the supervision of the Extension Service Is going forward satisfactorily. During the month the full assignment of 200 boys arrived and have been placed in the CCC camp under the command pf Capt. L. W. Boykln, Jr. The boya are to do soil conservation work under the supervision of J. Vernon Phillips, camp superintendent." Now Is a good time to pay for your subscription to The Chornlcle. Crash In Cottonseed Market Predicted Columbia, Oct. 14,?In a statement given out today by Mr. George DoJ/oach, president of the Dinners' Association of South Carolina, attention was called to the heavy Importation of cocoanut oil gAd other vegetable oils. "If proper dUpe are not taken by the next Congress to adjust the Importation of coooanut and other vegetable oils," said Mr. DeLoach, "the cottonseed market In the South will face before many months another oollapse equal to that of 1982. The cotton producers of the South have voluntarily reduced the production of cottonseed oil thlrty-flve per cent this year; Insect damage has brought about a further reductloo. In spite of this, however, the Importation of cocoanut oil has decreased only about nineteen per cent and it continues to hog the best food markets In this country to the exclusion of cottonseed oils and other fats and oils produced on American farms." Mr. De Loach pointed out that, In the oleomargarine Industry alone ao* cording to the figures given out recently by the United States Department of Commerce, 18,056,084 pounds of cocoanut oil were used during the month of August, 1986, as compared to 7,765,164 pounds during the month of August, 1984, or an Increase of a little more than sixty-eight per cent. The margarine industry used 6,402,869 pounds of cottonseed oil in August, 1935, as compared to 6,279,715 pounds in August, 1934, or an iucrease of a little less than two per cent. "The passage of the Kleberg Bill," said Wlr. DeLoaoh, "which was introduced at the last session of Congress would hare corrected this situation by forcing the. manufacturers of oleomargarine, who kare the privileges of the American market, to use only cottonseed oil or other vegetable oilor animal fats produced by American farmers on American farms. It Is easy to see that If the use of cottonseed oil were increased by twelve million pounds per month in the oleomargarine industry alone, It would have the effect of stabilizing the price of cottonseed oil and in turn cottonseed." "The increased -use of these foreign vegetable oils is' not confined to the oleomargarine industry," continued Mr. De Loach, "but these oils produced by cheap foreign labor are hogging the shortening market as well, and are replacing cottonseed oil in other Important food products being sold to the American public." "We are fearful that if Boine definite steps are not taken to adjust this heavy importation of cocoanut and other vegetable oils we will lose our home market as well as our world market for the fats and oils we produce In the United States. A petition Is being circulated at every gin in South Carolina at this time in order to give all cotton growers an opportunity to appeal to Congress for legis tauon cnat will protect them from the heavy inroads foreign oils are Quaking on our markets.' We appeal to all glnners to see that this petition Is presented to every customer of his gin and we urge every farmer to sign this petition at the first opportunity. Our only hope td prevent another collapse in our cottonseed market is for the cotton producers themselves to demand protection for their cottonseed." Farm organizations, glnners and chambers of commerce over the South are urging the farmers to petition Congress to enact the Kleberg Bill, which was Introduced at the last session, and other legislation as is neces| sary to adjust the importation of vege| table oils to the supply and demand in this country. They feel that unless | this is done a complete collapse of the cottonseed oil as well as the -whole fats and oils price structure is lneviti able. Increase In Pork Production Desired Clemson, Oct. 14.?A considerable Increase in pork production over tbat produced during 1934-1985 is desirable during the uext three years, but nothing in the present outlook for domestic pork markets warrants an uncontrolled expansion, according to reports which K>. W. Watkins, director of the state agricultural extension service, has received from the Agricultural Adjustment Administration. A continuation of the gradual economic recovery which has been under way since 1988 may bring some further improvement In domestic demand when the 1986 pig crop comes to market, but the storage demand during the coming season may not be as strong as in the previous years in view of an expected Increase in slaughter supplies next summer. Any price-raising Influence of the improved consumer demand would be more than offset by the price-depressing effect of the Increased hog supplies. Home Increase In hog production is desirable both from the standpoint of farmers and consumers, since hog numbers were too drastically cut by the shortage of feed resulting from the 1934 drought. The danger, however, is that the increase wllj get out of hand as It has in past years and eventually react against both the producer and the pork user, officials of the AAA point out. # In the nation-wide referendum to be held Saturday, October 26, It will be up to farmers to decide whether they wish to continue an adjustment program designed to hold corn production down to a desirable level and prevent an excessive Increase in hog numbers or whether they will release cooperative control both on corn and hog production and thereby risk another ruinous production cycle.
