In the present Palestine revolt against lir It lull authority, Arabs claim, according to news dispatches, to have the support of tho "entire Moslem world." Last ?etkr, when Mussolini toured tho Italian dependency of Libya, North Africa, Moslems presented to the Fascist leader a symbolic "Sword of Islam." What Is this "Moslem World" so frequently mentioned In today's headlines? "Roughly, some L'aO,0*10,000 people? or more than one out of every ten Inhabitants of the earth ?is an inherent of thts faith of Allah and his l'rophet Mohammed," says a bulletin from the Washington, 1) C , headquarters of the National Geographic Society. Although most of these Moslems live In Asia and Africa, the United States, Including the Philippines, counts nearly GUO.OOO of them. Central and South America contribute a total of around 2UU,UUU. Tho Ualkans add another 3UU.UU0, while Soviet Russia's latest available figure was set at more than fifteen millions In the thirteen centuries since the Arah reformer, Mohammed, first attempted to teach his doctrines to thei citizens of Medina and Mecca, (lie followers of Islam have multiplied to take in Turks, Iranians, Fast Indians, Malays, Negroes and Chinese. Outlined without a break In Islam's greatest concentration, which blankets all of north and much of central Africa, and stretches down the east coast of thiit continent to below Zanzibar. Crossing Into Asia, Islam reaches deep Into the heart of the Soviet Union. Scattering land-islands of "believers" to the west in Halkun Europe, Mohammedanism sweeps on its eastward course thru all of Turkey, the Near East, Arabia, Iran, northwest India, and Western China. It dots tho open sea In Islands off tho coast of India, and is especially strong In Netherlands Indies. Youngest of the three major monotheistic. faiths?Judaism, Christianity, and Mohammedanism?Islam, In name means "submission," submission to the will of Allah or God. Dogmatic forms govern the lives of the disciples of Islam, rules based on Mohammed's bible of moral and political laws?the Koran. Profession of faith, almsgiving, prayer, fasting, and the holy pilgrimage, especially to Mecca, are demanded by the ritual. Wine and pork are forbidden. To* the Mohammedan, tho world is divided into pure and impure matter, the latter Including certain animals, bodies of tho dead, and "Infidels"; and It Is considered defiling for a believer to touch any of them. Good Mohammedans believe that upon death they go to a heaven of beautiful hourls inymphs). palaces, and gardens of flowers and flowing wuter -especially appealing to men of tho desert. Virtuous Mohammedan women are also promised a heaven, but no mention is made of husbands Taking lessons from Hebraic and Christian religions of the Middle Ages, Mohammedanism abandoned the old Arab idea of many gods for the dooiTuie ui unity arm au)">fY-TfiV>i v OT "vj(Vi. retaining, however, various angels and genii As the n?*w belief expanded, after the death of Its political and mystic leader, It split?like Christianity into numerous sects, the major groups being the Sunnites and the Slliites Ret ween these two divisions, bloody and hitter warfare was carried on For M ohammedanism makes no concessions to the Idea of universal human brotherhood On the contrary, the Koran orders its followers to hate and destroy the unbeliever, glorifying theoprincipal of "Holy Wars." Under the banner of a militant faith (such as characterized the Christian Crusades In later centuries), Arab tribes early united to conquer much of the Near Fast, north Africa, and Spain With them they carried to Europe?still groping in the Dark Ages? a torch of advanced scientific lenrning and a marked trading genlii3. Mohammedanism ? putting into practice Its church-state concept? crystallized Into three vast Islamic empires, Arab, Turkish, and Mongol, eventually broken up Ito three peparate Moslem nations. Today, altho certain leaders call for a renunlted Moslem front, many of these countries have turned Instead to Westernised programs of national istic economy in which religion !ias small voice. Turkey, once the hearj of Islam, has completely divorced religion from the state, putting her faith rather In "Five Year Plans," modern machines and votes for women. In the general social objectives of Soviet Russia, her huge Moslem population of the Fust finds little room for religion of ar.y kind On the other hand, as the number of Moslems Increases in various parts of the world, statistics deny that Mohammedanism as a purely religious movement Is in danger of decline. A new mosque to bo opened in PMmonton, Canada, shows that Islam j has not abandoned Western expansion, Brooklyn, New York, has another Mohammedan place of worship: while mosques are found in many Kuropean capitals, Including London and Berlin. Especially interesting Js a modern structure at Paris, built 'n 1922-1924. The ancient Great Mosque of Cordoba, Spain, built by the Moors in the eighth century on the site of a Roman temple and Viaigothlc church, is now used by Spanish Catholics.

Seed Treatment Proves Profitable Clutusou, Nov. 21.?Six dollars per acre from 2U0 pounds more of seed cotton Is the estimated average Increase to South Carolina farmers who used treated seed this past season, says W. C. Nettles, extension eutomologlst, giving other evidence of the value and use of this practice. He ports from many county agents show that cottonseed treatment has been successful In Increasing vigor, stands, and yields of cotton and .that the practice now appears to bo an established one on many farms. Approximately 100,000 pounds of 2i per cent Ceresau wore shipped Into the" state this season by the Bayer-J Bemesan company, manufacturers of seed disinfectants, according to Bales I Manager J. Hunter Gooding. This amount Is sufficient to treat 633d)u0 bashers. However, since some of the I treated seed was shipped out of the state by seed breeders and since most farmers plant slightly over one bushel to the acre, it is reasonable to as sume, Mr. Nettles states, that 400,0"e acres wore planted with treated seed. Estimating that 400,000 acros, or approximately one-third of the acreage in the state, were planted with treated seed, South Carolina farmers thus harvested $2,400,000 worth more of cotton by treating seed than they would have otherwise. Had all the seed in the state beep treated, the increase would have been $7,200,00", after paying for the cost of treatment The average Increase of 200 pounds more of seed cotton per acre is haded on results from over 200 cottonseed treatment demonstrations which have been completed by South Carolina farmers in the past four years.

Nov, 7.?Don't let winter winds blow away leaves and straw, warns B. E. G. Prichard, assistant extension agronomist, explaining that these materials can be put to very profitable use at small cost. Raked into piles and allowed to rot, Mr. Prichard continues, leaves, straw, grass and such will make a material that compares favorably in fertilizing value with barnyard manure. This malarial adds greater water-holding ability to the soil, mellows up hard land, and increases yields from crops. Decayed leaves and straw make a good compost alone, the specialist asserts, but by adding lime and phosphorus a much better material can be made. The following proportion of materials makes a good compost heap: 4f> pounds of ammonium sulphate, forty pounds of limestone, and fifteen pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate. Use about fifty pounds of the mixture for ion of straw or leaves, and 1 throw on a few shovels of barnyard I manure to inoculate. In a conveniently located pen made I from poles, pile leaves and straw to j a depth of one foot and sprinkle on , the fertilizer mixture. The center of | the pile should be a little lower than j the outer edges. Do not pile too high or rain may not wet the entire pile. ' Moisture Iff necessary for proper decaying to take place. Weight the pile down by putting on top several inches of soli. A manure made thus will analyic approximately that of animal manure. 1 Midway FoueH Club Met.
