t A Of Interest to Farmers BANKS WILL REFUSE TO LEND ONE-CROP FARMERS MONEY Aiken, Barnwell, Saluda, Edgefield- and Lexington Counties Through Financial Institutions Work for Diversification. Aiken, Dec. 12.—Representatives from 21 banks in five counties met last night in Batesburg and eidopted a program for farm relief that in- cludeg diversification as a main fea ture, and control of agricultural loans as a means of enforcement. Among those attending were B. W. Crouch, president of the South Caro lina Bankers' Association, and H. S. • 9 Johnson, secretary of the same organ ization; A. H. Ward, district agent, and D. W. Watkins, of Qemson Col lege. Unamnimous adoption of a program previously suggested and drawn up occupied most of the meeting of bank ers from Aiken, Barnwell, Saluda, Edgefield and Lexington. The substance of the adopted reso lutions was an effort to help farmers away from the one-crop system through diversification, and a bank ers’ program which will include refus ala to lend money with only a cotton crcp security. Exceptions to this rule would be made in the case of suc cessful cotton farmers, i The agreement unanimously adopt ed <is as follows: “Realising that the prosperity of our section is dependent upon a suc cessful agriculture, and that our farm ers are not now enjoying the success and prosperity to which they are en- • »*«1. we. thr undersigned bankers of Aiken.

Not only must we produce more cotton on fewer acres, but we must produce a greater variety of crops— more cash crops—as well as more soil building, food and feed crops. We must quit sending our money out of South Carolina for things we can pro duce here. In every community there are examples of fanners who success fully follow the Live at Home Pro gram. M We urge our fanners to give closer attention to the advice offered by our county agents and to the meth ods followed by our successful farm ers. Adopt a program suitable to your own farm and local conditions and stick to it. Do not be continually changing from one plan to another. It will be our policy to help those who are trying to help themselves. A farmer is not trying unless he prac tices some form of diversified farm ing sufficient to feed his family and livestock and unless he grows at least one cash crop in addition to cotton, and feeds his land by growing le gumes. “We urge the gradual increase in livestock for those fanners who are in position to take care of them. Be fore you go into livestock, first pro duce the feed and provide pastures, “it will be our policy beginning In IPSO and thereafter to decline to ex tend credit to the all-cotton farmer who has not been successful, unless hi can convince us that he will adopt some form of diversification as sug gested Herein. In cooperation with our State extension workers and by observing successful farmers ere have worked out the following program and earnestly urge our farmers to adopt it in so far as K i s possible to do se: , **1.

Plant no more cotton than can be properly fertilised, fre quently cultivated,, and efficiently pois oned for boll weevil control. For the I z • average farm, we recommend that not more than one-third of the cultivated land be planted in cotton. “We strongly urge the use of labor- «aving machinery, particularly the two-horse cultivator.

(Prepared by the Urlted States Department of Agriculture.) American people are demanding high quality in meats more than ever before, but there Is still a misconcep tion on the part of many meat buyers as to what constitutes the best quality. Explaining this situation, O. G. Han kins of the United States Department of Agriculture, points out that the im portance of the fat content of meat is not generally understood. Market Demands. “Many people believe that meat which tends to be lean is of higher quality than that which is quite fat,” declares Mr. Hankins. “They regard the ftit as unpalatable and fail to rec ognize the relation between a some what liberal proportion of fat and ten derness in the cooked meat Gen erally speaking, there is an increased demand for rather small lightweight, retail cuts of only moderate fatness. “Aside from fatness or leanness sev eral characteristics of meat are of par ticular Interest to the consumer. The foremost of these Is tenderness. The natural tenderness of meat appears to be caused by one or more factors, such as breeding, feeding, age, or man agement of the animal, yet tough meat can he made tender and toothsome hy proper handling and cooking. The heat indication of natural tenderness known at present is ‘marbling/ or the distribution of particles of fat through the lean.** Meat Consumption. Figures complied by the Department of Agriculture show that In 1928 the per capita consumption of meat and lard In the United States was 153 pounds. Of this total, 7 pounds was pork. 51 pounds beef, 7 pounds real 6 pounds lamb and mutton, and 15 pounds lard. To assist live-stock producers and packers In supplying tbs kind of meat desired by tbs public tbs department and 25 stats agricultural experiment stations are working jointly on a na tional meat research project. It la expected that this research ultimately will help greatly to supply more of the kind of meat that the public wants. Improved Uniform bitemitiontl Sunday School ' Lesson T (By VtKV.

Tha Greatest In tha Kingdom of Heaven (Man. 18:1-8). Jesus answered concretely tba dis ciples* question as to who is greatest in tbe kingdom of heaven, by plac ing a child in their midst and declar ing: L The condition of entrance Into tbe kingdom (v. 8). In order to enter the kingdom one must become childlike. Be thus showed to these ambitious disciples that a change of heart was necessary In order to even enter tha kingdom, let alone having ao honorable posl- •tion therein. Birth from above is ee- jsdntlal, even to sea tbe kingdom (John 3:3, 5). 2. Those who possess childlike hu mility are tha greatest (▼. 4). Thd child la dependent, lowly and modest. Such characteristics are only possible 1 to those who have been regenerated. II. Little Children Brought to Jesus.— (Mk. 10:18-16). L Tha mothers' desire that Jesus might touch their children <v. 13). . Doubtless they nad witnessed tha healing power of His touch and cov eted It for their children. All Chris tian parents win! their children to coma Into contact with Jesus Christ. 2. Tbe disciples' rebuke (v. 18). They thought tha children wars too Insignificant ta be allowed to interfere with Jesus' work, therefore they re buked tbe mother* for bringing them to Him. &. Jeans reply (v.14). He declared that the kingdom be- I longs to the children, therefore the children have a right in the | of tbe klag. 4. Jesus blesses tha tittle fe. t6>. Ha took them op In His arms and blessed them.
