Young Getsinger selected an acre of typical Norfolk sandy loam. He had a good cover drop on the land of oats, rye, rape and barley. In the spn/ig the cover crop was turned down and the land broken to a depth of 10 inches. He planted hia cocn in .’1 feet, 10 inch rows and the stalks stood 12 inches in the drill with a perfect stand. The corn was planted May 8th and 400 pounds of 8-4-4 fertilizer were ninnbc r of young folks last Friday , t / i *• ** , , , , used at the time of planting.

He put down 1,000 pounds Chilean Ni trate of Soda in applications of 200 pounds each on May 28, June 7, June 15 and June 22 and June 28. His total cost for fertilizer was $34.50 for the acre. - w-- The total cost of the acre, including fertilizer, rent, labor was $45.80. Valuing the com at $1.00 per bushel the gross proceeds were $134.00, leav. ing young Getsinger a net profit of $88.20 on the acre, which damonatrates that com can be grown as a money crop when properly fertilized and cultivated. The yield was very carefully meas ured by officials of the extension ser vice of Clemson College. Young Getsinger’s corn attracted the attention of business men and farmers for a radius of fifty miles and farmers came in groups from ad joining counties to see this remarka ble field. The Ridgeland section suf fered from a prolonged drouth but by good cultivation and use of quick act ing nitrate this field of com escaped serious damages. This field did not fire or burn during the dry weather whHe an adjoining field of wide rows^ wide spaced and fertilized in the u-ual manner for that section, fired badly and produced not more than 15 bushels per acre. You re Late, Mr. Weevil iMit This shows how Southern farmers bar* outsmarted one of their worst eaemles, the boll weevil. Notice that xha cotton bolls have opened on the lower branches of these stalks. They are out of danger, safe from the rat- ages of the weevil. la aeetloaa where weevil infestation ^La heavy It is always difficult to ma- .Uara the bolls on the upper half of lha atalka. Growers have" discovered, hwwever, that a full crop of cotton vtaay still be grown by spacing the :jstalks closer together, leaving two -analks in each hill instead of one. A side-dressing of quick-acting nitro- gea is used to speed up the devel sent of the bolls. In this way two produce as large a crop in about the time as was formerly made wa one stalk during a longer unmo lested fruiting period. The side-dressing is applied after stopping and before squaring begins, common application is 100 to 200 LXEfci^wnvnttEate Tills quick acting “plant food •Pe»ds up the development of the bolls lhat the cotton on s the lower is safely out of danger when puts in its appearance. Camels Find Refuge in Swampy Spanish Plain Spain iumv pass through troublous times but there Is one community In that country which Is not likely to be disturbed whatever happens. This la the strange colony of wild camels which have made a home for them selves in the lower reaches of the Guadalquivir river. Many years ago an attempt was made to introduce camels for agricultural work in south ern Spain. The plan was not a su cess, and those camels which did no die strayed off to fend for themselves. A few of them found a retreat in the vast alluvial plain through which the sluggish stream of the river winds its way to the Gulf of Cadiz. One could hardly imagine a sltua tion more unlike that to which a camel normally la accustomed. The land Is largely water-logged and # covered with a dense growth of reeds and rushes many feet In height. From the human point of view, the district Is extreme ly unhealthy, although animal life flourishes. At the least sign uf danger the ani mals retreat to the swamps, where the ground Is so soft that It is Impossible for a man to follow. Of course, the broad feet of the camel, which help the creature to walk on loose sand, have also stood It in good stead in these marshes, where a horse or a cow certainly wotiW never he able to travel safely.—Manchester (Eng.) guardian. Diggera Uncover Grave of Bronze-Age Chieftain The 4,000-year-old grave of a Bronze age chieftain Is among the many In teresting relics discovered in the Course of digging pits for brick works at Schleinbach. near Vienna. Twenty- one different caches, graves and liv ing eaves frou^he Swond century, B. 0., have been laid bare. The chief tain's grave has been reconstructed as It was first discovered and placed on exhibition in the Lower Austrian mu seum in Vienna. It contains two skele tons lying face upwards, stretched out close together, in contrast to the skele tons of ordinary tribesmen found In 1L other graves. These were placed in a crouching position, the legs being eaAtwwwnaeitan ed with stones, owing to the fear of the resurrection of the bodies. The 'fiecond body in the grave was doubt less that of the chiefs wife, believed to hare been buried alive. H* Had Hit Reason He is cook on a schooner. Very timidly we poked our head inside the door. He was chopping some meat for hash. “Come In.” lie said In broad Hun- .garianese. We went In. His name Is Charley. “How long have you been a cook,' Charley?” “FIft’ yeHr." We whistled with amazement “How old are you. Charley?” “Sixty-eight.’’ Fifty years a cook. Apparently the height of ambltlonlessness. We left him to Interview the cap tain. / * “Charley, back there—why does he stick to cooking?” •* Taciturnly the captain replied: “Darn good-reason—cook gets *80 a month, sailor get *00.”—Philadelphia Record.

The penguin, whose home Is in the Antarctic, loves cold weather, and officials tried 4o devise a means of keeping them .cool. All plans failed until a big “Ice box” was bnllt for them, and a “house” of heavy planks, with a roof of heat-resisting tar paper, was erected In the box. Each day, 500 pounds of Ice. cut In layers, was spread on the floor, and then the birds were quite liappy. They slept on the Ice—standing up, as Is their way! Shrubs and greens surround the “house." and there was a lake where the birds could satisfy their natural love for water. . Study of Languages Old It Is a great^irror to think that schools for foreign languages are a modern Innovation. In almost prehis toric times, some 4.000 years ago. such a school existed on the shores of the eastern Mediterranean, the ‘cross-rbgds between Asia, Europe and Africa. As many as six languages considered mod ern by the students of the Fifteenth century B. C. were taught in the uni versity of a town called Zapuna. which ogists. Clay tablets, which served as school books to the philologists of an cient times, and one of the world’s first dictionaries, were ' among the outstanding finds made. ’ > * ' . ' ’ ' * ' • Social service as such was not a department of church activity. How ever, the early church was moat ready to discharge Its social obligations. Member* of the body of Christ are sympathetically related.' I. Characteristic* of the Early Church (Acta 4:31-35). 1. It * as a praying church (v. 31). Theae early Chriatiana for every need betook themselves to God In prayer. 2. It was a Spirit-filled* church (*. SI). When they prayed, the place wherein they were gathered together was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. 8. It waa a church with a hold tes timony (▼. SI). The ministers of the early chnrch did not offer any apology for the Bible, bqt expended their en ergy In fearlessly preaching It 4. It was a united church (v. 32). They were all of ona heart and soul. 5. It was a generous church (▼. 32). They held nothing hack from those who had need. 6. Ita ministers had a powerful tes timony (v. 33). 7. Its members had an unblemished character (?• 33).. II. Appointment of Osacone (Acts 6:1-4). 1. The occasion (v. 1). The church was threatened with disruption over suspected partiality In the distribu tion of alms. The Grecians felt dis criminated against In that their wid ows were neglected in the “dally min istration s.” 2. The Issue met (vr. 2-6). A con gregational meeting waa called, the case placed before the church, and the church Instructed to select seven men of good report, filled with the Holy Spirit and wisdom to administer the temporalities of the church, leaving the apostles freedom fo* prayer and the ministry of God's Word. 3. The ministry of the deacons (v. 7). They looked after the poor, bat while distributing alms, they were witnessing for Christ. Social service Is a by-product of Christianity and not Christianity 'Itself.* III. Tbs Raising of Dorcas (AC& 9:36-39). 1. Her ministry (v. 36 Cf. v. 39). -Her life was full of good works. su?h no-making coats and garments for the poor ,.Her noble ministry has set In motion countless numbers of needles, and has given incentive to many noble women to follow her example. The s good deeds were not merely those which she Intended to do, but “which she did.” 2. Her death (v. 37). In the midst of a life full of good works she was overtaken by death. 3. Peter sent for (v. 38). In their distress the disciples sent two men urgently to request Peter to come to them. Having heard of .the healing of Aeneas at Lydda. which was near, they no donht believed that he could restore Dorcas to life. 4. Dorcas raised (vv. 39-41). In an swer to Peter’s prayer Dorcas was “presented alive to the saints and widows.” 5. The effect (v. 42). So astounding was this miracle that “many believed in the Lord.” IV. Ministsring to the Saints (II Cor. 9:1-7). The saints In need were Christians st Jerusalem. Many were Impover ished because' of embracing Christian ity. Sending money to the saints at Jerusalem was an expression of affec tion on the part of these Gentile Christians for the Jews. As an In centive to giving Paul shows: 1. That the volume of reaping la based upon the volume of sowing (▼; 6). 2. Tfhere should be aJ)*art purpose (v. 7). This calls for intelligence as to the ob^;t In giving. V. 3. Giving should not be of necessity (v. 7), No particular value accrues to the giver who only responds under pressure. 4. God loves a cheerful giver (▼. 7). Right understanding of responsibility toward God with reference to tem poral possessions will make giving a glorious privilege.
