KERSHAW COUNTY. FARM BUREAU—AN ORGANIZA
TION WITH A PURPOSE
Agriculture fhas always needed a strong voice.
Tlie very nature of it makes that so. More than any oth-
oup, it is split up into many hundreds of thousands of in-
r noup,
dividual units scattered throughout the land, with little
chance for unity of action in looking out for its needs in an
tttt ftMibtN ORbetiicn. CAHom, gwK 4imoniia. eaiaav, juuy lA \m
This Is a Bicycia Built for TWO!
age of lobbying and power politics.
National la
rarm organizations are its hope, and those that
we have, have been very much on the scene in recent years.
We are getting to the point where agriculture’s voice can be
heard. '
In all of this, the American Farm Bureau has played a
major part. It should prove a good day for South Carolina
when this great farm organization was recently invHed into
South Carolina.
I understand that Kershaw County has organized a
strong and active local unit of the Farm Bureau. It looks as
though it means business, too, when alreadv it has initiated
two county-wide movements for the general benefit of agri
culture.
It is sponsoring one variety of cotton for the entire coun-
alre
ty, and most of the gins have already been lined up to sample
3fffo
every bale, send it off for grading and stapling, and the grow
er will receive a report on that, together with the loan rate
.that it carries. This should prove of great benefit to every
farmer in the county, both large and small. It is a fine thing
for the grower to know more about the value of the cotton he
grows.
And a freezer-locker plant, too, is being sponsored by
the Kershaw Countv Farm Bureau. That seemato be the next
great boon destined to come to farm life, now that rural elec
trification has been made a reality for most communities.
So, I would say congratulations to the Kershaw County
Fam Bureau. While still in its infancy, and before it has been
able to celebrate the anniversary of its tirst year of service, it
has initiated beneficial things that will reach every farm in
the county.
And to The Camden Chronicle, too, congratulations upon
the service it is rendering to the agriculture of the county by
adding impetus to wtiat is being done with this special issue
of the paper. The local press is a powerful aid to any county
or community endeavor, and it is fine that The Chronicle is
lending its weight to the farmers of the county who are trying
to better their position throiigh organized e^orts. May this
team ever go forward.

ON HIS SIDE
In this day of war’s severest trials and tests it is but
naturalihat the^ President and even Govemoss of the several
states are called upon to proclaim days of prayer. Even in
the War Between the States President Lincoln was impor
tuned by a committee of ladies to designate a day of prayer,
that the
at which time, the ladies explained, ’’we wish to pray
Lord will be oh our side.” President Lincoln likened atten
tively, though somewhat analytically, and while committed
to the proposition, he said: ’’Ladies, I must refuse to proclaim
a day of prayer to the end that the Lord be on our side but
I’ll tell you what I will do; I’ll proclaim a day of prayer to
the end that we be permitted to get on the Lord’s side.”
It is hard to eliminate selfishness from our petitions and
prayers and it is well enough that such prayers are not fre
quently answered because nothing good can comeL of aelflBh-
ness. It is safe to assume that selfish prayers are unanswer
able, that is the kind of prayers whose granting would be
at tile expense, hurt or detriment of another or even the
petitioner, himself. As mentioned in soldiers letters, we are
glad to know first hand that oiir boys on the far flung battle
fronts pray not so much for themselves but for others—^always
others, and they are more concerned for the comfort and
safety of loved ones at home than for themselves on the battle
fronts u^fe dange]^:iyer li$k tmd death stalks their every
move. .We agree withj^retidehtTdnccdn*ai]drfloeophy
matter of prayer and petition and, consequently, agree that
a coalition that will enable us to get on the ’’Lord’s side” is
a much safer bet than importuning the Lord to jojn up
with us. .
NOT ALL STING AND HONEY
The average person’s knowledge of the bee is that it is
an insect that will sting you and that makes honey.
But bees have a far more fundamental function than
these in this world that we live in.
Without bees visiting the blossoms of many plants to
get their honey, and incidentally pollenizing or fertilizing the
blossoms so that fruiting will take place, some plants would
produce but sparsely and others hardly at all.
That is why citros growers rent bees to put in their
groves at blooming time. The heaviest crop of apples we
have seen in the upper part of this state is whore County
Agent W. H. Stallwoiih of Spartanburg, tells us they put
40 hives of bees in 20 acres during the blooming period.
There is quite a business in bees. Professional bee men
