For » Christmas gift let me sug gest that you give ft subscription to your county piper. To the man or woman born and reared, yay in Col leton County, but now living in an other county, nothing could bring more of the atmosphere of home than the county paper. I practice (in this matter, at least,) what I preach and for years have sent our county paper to eight of my own people. During ten long years I lived in a foreign country, I read the daily papers of that country in order to keep up with big world news, but I “took” The State, The New York Times, The Springfield Republican, The New York Evening Post and a dozen weekly and monthly magazines, in cluding the London Times (weekly); but among all these I looked first for my county paper. The county paper brought me the little items thrft are like newsy letters from home. Bill had bought a new car, and the farm ers, were shipping hogs. Pecans were selling for 16 cents and the cotton crop was small, but the price was fair. Corn hadn't done so* much and the hay crop was short. The ladies of the churches were having bazaars to raise money for foreign missions, and the K. of P. was having a barbe cue. Joe and Jim spent the week-end in Charleston—and all such items of NEWS. Sitting ftlone hour after hour, hearing in the distance voices speak ing an alien tongue, I could see my home and my; people, my friends and neighbors, iwt community and coun try aide I read the county paper. Ho wsweet and precious does it all seem when one is far away and muses over the familiar scenes and sees in imagination the remembered and be loved faces before the family hearth. Verily might one repeat “Bless the Lord, oh my Soul and forget not all His benefits." So whether he or she came from Lodge or Ruffin, White Hall or Green Pond, Smoak*! Cross Roads or Hendersonville, Walterboro or Cot ta geville, the home paper will bring a newsy letter with every issue. It is an acceptable Christmas gift—one of the very best. I enjoy my farm tenants and we have no trouble. They do their best for me and I do my best for them. One colored farmer came to see me Saturday. After concluding our busi ness I told him that I hoped he would keep sober. He doesn’t take much, but occasionally he relaxes his grip, etc. He has the manner and style that wins a white man. He is, in fact, the type of colored diplomat who drougth. • -i Maybe you wonder what I’m rav ing about, eh? Well, its just this: These science fellows won't let one be comfortable and confirmed in his old belief and prejudices, somebody comes along and tells us that what we have been believing and cherishing is all a myth—and we begin to ac cept what he says. Then comes somebody else to tell us that the other fellow is wrong—and so on, till a hundred years from now some other man will tell us that what was be lieved by our great-grandfather was right, after all. In other words, we smart fellows of today are just run ning around in a circle and patting ourselves on the chest for nothing legal hours of sale, the following de scribed premises: “All that certain piece, pared, tract or lot of Isnd with the improvements thereon, or hereafter erected thereon, situate, lying and being in the Town of Blackville, S.

I This, you see, is my journey into the high altitudes of agricultural chemis try as it reacts on the individual * metabolism. Well, any how, we got J over that, didn’t we? My farmer friends know all about rust and kainit; and my doctor friends talk a jot a- bout metabolism, with strong accent on the word “talk.” When a farmer talks about kainit and rust his re marks won’t cost you a cent; he him self has already paid the bill in a poor plant and a poor yield.

I think he is right. The enforcement of crime today requires ready and swift mobility, the ability to got from one place to another as fast as criminals can and without regard to county lines. Into this system might be in- corported at once all the town and county police officers, commissioning them aa members of the State Police without interfering with the local au thority or the local police work. A strong force of efficient men could be easily developed with no additional expense to the State. It would be a cooperative system, with all the profit acciuing to the counties, since all the fines are paid to the counties. That would be a mere beginning, though a good beginning. An efficient man as Commissioner of Police could de velop this cooperative service into a fine one. Such an appointment should not be political, but on merit. A big , man, one of organizing ability and capable of handling men, including sensitive county officials, could per form a service for the State. The danger is, of course, that some poli tical hack or some ambitious incompe tent would be chosen. I am becoming convinced that the surest way to get competent men is to make the salary too low to atract mere office- seekers. Of course I know that a democracy should not penalize a man without means, but it should no! ag grandize a" mere job-hunter. We have worried needlessly, you and I, all these years. Today we are told that what we have feared ian’t so; that the dragons we have dreamed about don’t exist, that the bridge we must cross are just planks in the road; and that the rainy day won’t come because life is to be a great mitteemen themselves will be thor- ( we u.j|ilda Highway and West oughly discussed and summarized, and : Louise Odom . . . j 4 a report formulated giving the farm- | Uvied upon as the ers’ suggestions. This report will be sent to the secretary of agriculture. Farmers having ideas they think should be included in next year’s pro gram should not hesitate to discuss them with their loc^l committeemen so that they in turn may present them at the county meetings. As Secretaiy Wallace points out, the fundamental objective of the Ag ricultural Conservation Program should be “to check soil erosion, to conserve and improve soil fertility, to encourage better land use, and to re store and maintain equitable farm in come.” Research workers, extension work ers rnd other agricultural educational workers have as their ultimate goal the objective of providing opportuni ties for the farm family, not only to help agriculture to Contribute to the national welfare, but to get the farm family to work out its own welfare on equal terms. Now, if this goal is to be reached by the individual farm family or by the nation collectively, improvement and wise use of soil resources are essential. In any research, extension, or other project in agricultural educa tion, wise soil management is funda mental to every project.*- Hazel and L. F.
