The increased production of wheat has been phenomenal —over 76 per cent above the previous ten-year average. The production of oats in 1944 was 50 Pgr more than the previous ten-year average. Sweet potato production is up over 70 per cent above the previous ten-year average. ^ And on fewer acres we are making more cotton. The average yield of this crop has been almost^ doubled in the past ten to fifteen years, and this year the,yield is estimated to be the surprising figure of 369 pounds hi lint per acre. A number of things seem to 'account for this remarkable record. Patriotism—the will to work long hours—machinery— fertilizers—greater diversification—these are some of the reasons. Better varieties and methods also had a lot to do with it. The plant breeders have been doing great things in building better varieties in recent years that helped greatly in insuring abundance fh this nation in this time of war. The crop growing contests conducted in recent years by' the Clemson extension service, the work of'the 4-H clubs and Future Farmers have all shown the possibilities of our soils, -gsRSTAlly have. CGnseGUfefttly get their sights higher. ... , Perhaps the most important single lactbr m this remark able wartime achievement of South Carolina farms has been the wide-spread use of lime and its effect on crop yield's; Dr. H. P. Cooper, director of the South Carolina Experiment station, has said, “We will succeed with diversification on the farms of South Carolina in proportion to the lime we use.” And county agents from every section report that this year will see most counties use more lime than in all past years put together.—The State. FREEDOM HAS MANY BLESSINGS ..-i 'y.'.v. K The United Nations are fighting for freedom for many different reasons. One of the most unique reasons was brought out by one of our smaller allies, the Nagas of Assam and North Burma. Known as headhunters, it took something concrete to sway them to our .side. • With these people hostile to us, our efforts in Burma would have been less effective. The American medical pro fession played a great part in helping win the confidence of the Nagas by just doing its job of caring for the sick and wounded. The Nagas were afflicted with sores which ate to the bone and were cdnsTdefed incurable by these tough little people. The American doctors went about treating this com mon sore with sulfa drugs and in a short time the sores dis appeared miraculously. Their King Peter was cured of blind ness through the removal of cataracts in both eyes. It didn’t take any more to convince this ally that our cause was for their good. The Nagas played an important part In helping push the Ledo Road through to completion. This is another victory for the American doctor who works and achieves under a free enterprise system, which is the backbone of a free nation. If the Nagas people knew about the plans in this country ti> «APiAU7.P rppriicine and destroy our free American doctor, they would think we were very stupid inde^.~ Slick SPORTSWEAR for Hi-School Lads!
