Prospects for both type* of cabbage declined during August in many im portant Statea where effects of heat and doruth were beginning to show up.” . V “However, the domestic crop is likely to be-at least 6 percent below the 5 year average production from 1924 to 1928, and the Danish about 10 percent below. These figures make South Caroli na’s fall cabbage prospects look a little brighter, and it is hoped that final yields will bear out the govern ment estimates. If such, is the case, our growers will again make some extra money before Christmas. The Florida Grower reports that a great many tomato growers from old Mexico are leasing lands in South Florida, along the lower East Coast. They are paying as high as $30 to $35 per aero, rent for some of these lands. This situation is due to the in crease in tariff rates on foreign vege tables. This tariff rate on tomatoes has jumped from %c per pound to 3c per pound. Old Mexico and Cuba have been big factors in the production oi early tomatoes, and we hope that they will not everdo it in Florida. In thinking of a cover crop for next summer, it would be wise to con sider that new legume—eortalalna. We understand that our good friend Eugene Stokes, of Bamberg, has done a great piece of work on this crop in Florida. Mr. Stoke s is Chief of the Division of Agronomy at the Univer sity of Florida. From information which we gather ed on a recent trip through South Carolina with leading Agronomists of the South, Crotalaria is a good cover crop, and that stock will not eat it. However, we feel sute that it would pay our asparagus growers to investigate its possibilities v as va summer cover for the “grass crop.” A good cover crop, the application of a ton or more of 5-7-10 fertilizer and strict attention to the proper grading of our “grass,” will give us a shot at those big California yields Mr Kitchings told us about at the Asparagus Field Day at Aiken re cently Local and Personal News of Blackville Lesson I (•jr RBV.

True faith ia proved by unquestioned obedience. Losaon for July 13. Jacob, a crafty schemer, through discipline at God’s hands, became Israel, a prince with God. Before he could enter the Promised Land a change must take place. Self-will must be broken before there can be confix dence in God. Lssson for July 20. Moses, educated first at his moth er’s knee apd then at Pharaoh’s court, was forced to flee from Egypt be cause of a premature effort to deliver the enslaved people. Forty years of training in the wilderness was neces sary before he was ready to bear God's call. Lonson for July 27. In the time of national emergency, there being po man to judge Israel, Deborah was called to take this place. God bestows his grace upon whomso ever he will, regardless of sex. Losaon for August 3. Ruth chose to cast her lot with God’s people. This choice brought her not only salvation but earthly bless ings. Ruth’s relationship to Naomi shows the vital fellowship centered In the God of Israel. National preju dices, hatred, and strife disappear on the part of those who are united in Jesus Christ Losaon for August 10. Hannah asked God to give her a ton, promising to dedicate him to God's service. God heard her prayer and she named her son Samuel, which meant “asked of God.” Samuel in his tender years was given to God, and he rendered a distinguished service for many years. Lesson for August 17. Saul was a man of fine gifts and had a great opportunity, but made a dismal failure because his heart was not right toward God. He had more concern for his own honor and welfare than for the glory of God. God is more concerned with having his com mands obeyed thafi he is with the offer ing of sacrifices. Lssson for August 24. Friendship between David and Jona than has been immortalized. This friendship was unique in that it took place between two men of rival in terests. Jonathan was the natural heir to the throne, but David was God’s choice. Jonathan knew this and mag nanimously waived his rights. Lesson for August 31.

Joslab, the young king, was loyal, to God. Two wicked kings had pre ceded him. during whose reigns God’s law was lost. God put it into his heart to Inaugurate a reformation, and in the process of restoring the tem ple, the law was found. When it was read before him, the king rent his clothes, and proceeded to Institute his reforms on the basis of God’s word. t Lssson for Suptsmbur 14.
