Dressing of Soda Gives Corn Crop New Food Supply i How often have you heard a farmer •ay, “Give me moisture and nitrogen •nd I will make a good corn crop?" Corn is a greedy feeder and at a •ertaln stage of its development must have moisture and nitrogen in abund- •nt amounts. Experiments through out the South have shown that ni trogen applied as a side-dressing is one of the most certain means of in creasing the corn yield. Nitrogen li Bitrate of soda is like predigested food to a corn plant. The plant’s root* •woop down and gather up the nour ishing Soda, then pas« it upward for the development of vigorous stalks • t Bnd large well-formed ears. hi 41 Nitrate of soda should be applied when the corn Is about knee high. An increase of 8 bushels per acre may he expected from 100 pounds of ni trate of soda, and 15 bushels when the •oda is applied at the rat© of 200 yonnds per acre. J. D. Majure of Union, Miss., who •won the Mississippi Corn Contest last jrear with the remarkable production ©f 178^4 bushels of corn per acre on three acres, used 300 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre as a side-dressing in addition to other fertilizer. He says, “I know that nitrogen, phosphorus and potash each played Its part in produc- tag this great yield, but I am positive that If I had not used Chilean nitrate of soda I would not have made it The ;«oda rushed the corn to early matur ity and carried it safely through the Ary season of summer and early fall.” TRY A BUSINESS BUILDER - woo Social and Personal News from Williston Williston, Jan. 5.—Among the social functions is Wttlis- of the moat delightful was with Mr. and Mrs. W.

The simplest survey of life or of self reveals the everywhereness of sin. Thus the theme for this week is in utmost contrast to that for last week, when the Eternal God was the sub ject. Man is both wayward and he has never journeyed through life before. Hence he is in constant need of an adequate Guide Book, and that Book is the Bible. It might well be called the sinner's Book, for it gives a com plete analysis of his experiences and then reveals an adequate solution of his constant problems. Numerous passages must be studied in connection with each lesson this quarter. Those for supplemental study this week arc Genesis 3:1-24; 6:5-8; Mark 7:14-23; Romans 1:18-32 and 3:10-18. Others of equal importance can be noted by looking at your concordance v Those who insist that it is heard to keep from doing evil in the present environment will do well to think themselves back into the Garden of Eden 'where Adam and Eve were part of an unmarred w»»rld. They had the maximum of blessings for which to be thankful as they held their daily tryst with thetr Creator. Yet they chose to disobey- the reasonable command of their heavenly Father. Man sins by the exercise of his own free will when he has been given power to the contrary. After our first parents became outcasts from Paradise they had plenty of time to meditate on t ie consequences As they faced their guilty consciences in their hopelessness, the First Evangel was given in the promise that was redeemed in the Messiah, the theme for next week. That sin cannot remain a personal matter is revealed in the extent of sin at the time of Noah. A new start was given after the Flood but mean while human nature had only been restrained; it was not changed. Read again the New Testament passages, indicated above. Here you wilf find sin analyzed. There can be no real reason for choosing sin (Romans 1 :jo). The baseness of life resulting from a sin-controlled heart is shown in that same chapter. The aged John, that beloved disciple, holds the mirror before every life as he says “If we say we have no sin. wc deceive uursekiN But he does not present the evil without disclosing the adequate remedy, for he adds “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ,< This is made still clearer as he |ioint.s to the Friend he loves so well: ’‘And if any man sin. we have an Advocate with the Father.. Jesus (brist the righteous.” Then a most practical test is given which puts life above all profession: “Hereby we know* that we know him, if we keep his commandments.” This newspaper will for some weeks continue to publish the work of the late Dr. Prank Crane. Dr. Cronf recently passed away at Nice, Prance Before lecnnny for Europe he had prepared a number of articles in advance. Dr.Frank Crane Says The Passing of the Horse It seems as if the day of the horse is about over, at least in the city. For centuries the horse has been the symbol of speed and power. He was transportation. The oldest sculptures repre sent rampant battle steeds, and heroes have generally been sculptured riding on horses. But this age of motor cars is finding him too slow. We may love horses and delight in them, but apparently they are bound to go. Agitation is now taking place in London to ban the slow- moving horse-drawn vehicle from the crowded streets. One daily paper says: ‘‘Officialdom stands by idle while every day lumbering horse-drawn vans and carts cause long traffic blocks in congested thoroughfares. The loss and incon venience caused by the traffic delays are incalculable, and yet nothing is done to ameliorate the nuisance.’* In some congested regions of Paris, such as the Place de FOpera and the Place Vendome horse traffic is banished within certain prescribed hours. The indictment against the horse seems to be that he is slow’ and that he is dirty. There is strong support for the suggestion that London should follow the example of Paris. Others would banish the horse if only for the sake of the animals. One cannot watch without pity horses struggling on the slippery streets. They are often stationary in the traffic blocks with their noses just above the exhausts of motors giving out foul fumes which have been known to kill human beings. Altogether it looks as if this age of rapid transit is going to do away with the horse, which has been called “the greatest friend of man.t in Greenville County, r—" Mi** Elisabeth Weathersbee return ed to Ware Shoals Sunday afternoon after visiting her parents during the holidays.
