Hooks of Char- Poultry “en ting,” not just poul try, held the fascinating interest of the throngs at the poultry build ing during fair week. Not only was the poultry display fine, but greatly increased interest was the result of the big exhibit of rabbits, pigeons, ducks, and geese. It is interesting and good news that the poultry association plans enlarging its scope to take in these other in teresting lines. Four-H clubsters were so much in evidence in various exhibits that not only did they shine, but they outshone their elders in many re spects. The 419 exhibits of corn by clubsters and the winning of the sweepstakes by Dan Bickley, a Lexington club boy, made this a big feature of the fair. So too, with the pig club exhibit, showing 125 pigs—a larger number from more counties than ever before. And 4-H sheep from Fairfield coun ty took an ample share of prizes. In the 4-H calf club barn were 80 calves from a dozen counties that have prosperous purebred calf clubs, and here again clubsters won in various instances over all. And speaking of sheep, Ted Cook’s superior animals from the Clemson College herd stood neck and npek with crack show sheep from Ohio and Pennsylvania, and this, together with the Fairfield sheep club’s exhibit, makes it clear that South Carolina can grow sheep of the right kind. It was the best sheep show, according to Cook and various other good judges, that has been seen at the State Fair in many a year. That the natural resources of the state do not lie exclusively in iodine was brought out most strik ingly in the fascinating exhibit of the Natural Resources Commission. Though the iodine idea was much in evidence, other important natu ral resources were stressed, includ ing kaolin, granite, brick, marl, etc. The display of varied cheese pro ducts and the canned goods from a surprisingly large list of can neries in the state held much in- THINGS WORTH KNOWING terest. “Iron men” of all kinds for farm work of all kinds were studied by farmers of all kinds in the outdoor farm machinery display, and con versation heard among farmers and machinery exhibitors proved that a major interest among farmers to day is that of labor-saving, cost- reducing work by means of better equipment and implements. Purebred seed and high-quality fertilizers, as displayed by out standing seed breeders and fertili zer manufacturers, drew the at tention of a great many farmers day by day, and served as schools of information towards better farm ing through these agencies. The Pedigreed Seed Company’s fine ex hibit with its inestimable instruc tional value has come to be a State Fair feature. Even casual passers-by got ideas from such ex hibits. Not only women but men as well stopped, looked, and learned at the home demonstration booths in the steel building. Most intriguing of all was the Beauty Shoppe booth, in which the demonstration forces showed nature’s prescriptions for beauty and health. Other home demonstration booths showed the excellent work done in girls’ clothing, in which cotton goods were stressed; canning club work; room improvement work, stressing color selection; 4-H girls’ poultry club work, and so on. County-wide library circulation is illustrated in the booth of the State Library Board in co-opera tion with the Columbia Public Li brary, presented in a vivid way a matter of prime interest to coun try people. A system of circulating books among rural communities, as practiced by the Columbia Pub lic Library, the Greenville County Library, and others, means untold benefit to country communities. “Future Palmetto farmers” were “in school” at the State Fair for an entire week, and these young sters got from their instruction and study of exhibits much of the same sort of beneficial informa tion and ftleas ' that the other youngsters, 4-H club boys, got from lotte, 'received contract on bid of tlieir work and exhibits at the fair. $49,162, for erection of ’ substruc-i There 15 ' h °P e for better farming fare of bridge over Enoree River through such work among country near here. boys.

Irrigation In The East The most satisfactory method of irrigating in the Eastern States is surface irrigation, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture, which has recently issued Farmers Bulle tin 1635 F, Surface Irrigation in the Eastern States. In the East irriga tion to increase production and to protect valuable crops from drought has been chiefly by two methods—spray irrigation and sub irrigation. Both systems are ex pensive, and subirrigation is not satisfactory except under special soil conditions. Surface irrigation is simpler and less expensive than either spray or subirrigation, says the Department. Farmers’ Bulletin 1635-F, which can be procured from the Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C., contains information helpful to eastern far mers whose crops have suffered from drought. Permanent For ests For South Steady reduction of taxable val-^ ues of southern timberland has nearly bankrupted many commun ities, according to the U. S. Forest Service. To build needed public improvements, the communities raised the taxes. Timberland own ers, to pay taxes, took the last stock of timber off the lands. Pro duction dwindled, employment fell off, and serious social and economic conditions have arisen. Recent studies of second-growth by the Forest Service, however, indicate the possibility of developing south ern timber resources on a perman ent basis. With protection from fire and good management, fast growing southern pine will produce successive timber crops which will give permanent support to local forest industries and communities dependent upon them. $Xt , Among the many new uses for cotton, the U. S. Department of Agriculture workers have noted products such as tarpaulins for athletic fields, style fabrics, posters and billboards, cotton letterheads, fireproof, fabrics, play tents, model vachts. white cotton sleeves for traffic officers, and a. proposed rubberized cotton gqyice to ptevgjit thfc formation of ice oi> airplane wings and struts.

His name is not given. His title was derived from the word meaning “a hundred.” He was, therefore, offi cially the commander of a hundred men. “The ordinary duties of a cen turion were to drill his men, inspect their arms, food, and clothing, and to command them in the camp and in the field.” II. The Centurlon , » Need (vv. 5, 6). He had a very dear servant who was greviously affiicted with the palsy, and .at.the point of death (Luke 7:2). This slave was highly valued for this char acter and ability. We are not told in this account as to whether the cen turion had employed doctors. In all probability they had been employed and were unable to give help. The centurion had, no doubt, heard of the wonderful power of Jesus to heal. Therefore, he came to him as the only one who could help. III. Th« Centurion's Request (vv. 5,6) It was that Christ would come and heal his servant (Luke 7:3). From the account in Luke we learn that the centurion first sent the leaders of the Jews. Being a Gentile, he doubtless believed that he could best secure the attention and consideration of Jesus through the mediation of the Jews. The centurion w’as of good report among the Jews. The leaders who were sent testified to the good repu tation which he bore in the com munity. They especially mentioned his benevolent deeds to the Jews. IV. The Centurion’s Humility (vv. 7, 8). As Jesus was nearing the centurion’s house the friends were sent to say to him that he was unworthy for him to come under his roof, but because the case of ids servant was so grave, he brushed aside all difficulties and per sonally appealed for help. Jesus is pleased when men realize their utter helplessness and appeal to him for help. V. The Centurion's Faith (vv. 8-10) In spite of his unworthiness he com mitted his case to the Lord. He be lieved that if Jesus would but speak the word, his servant would be healed. It is most interesting to note his philosophy of authority. He said. “I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me, and I say to this man, ‘Go,’ and he goeth, and to an other, ‘Come,’ and he cometh. and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he doeth it.” He believed that disease was under control, that Christ could order it about just as he ordered his soldiers about. By faith he saw Christ as com pletely in authority over the most vio lent malady as he himself was in con trol over the soldiers under him. His faith was so unusual that Christ mar veled at it. He did not marvel in the sense of being surprised at it, hut mar veled at its intelligence. His faith was based upon the true philosophy of the universe: namely, that the uni verse is based upon a law and Jesus Christ is the Director and Controller of that law. So greatly was Chris: pleased with his faith that he de clared that it exceeded anything found among the Jews, that many Gentiles would have a place in the kingdom to the exclusion of many Jews. VI. Christ's Wonderful Power (v. 131. He said to the centurion, “I will come and heal him” (v. 7). Note Ins perfect confidence in himself. He did not say, “I will come and see what 1 can do,” but “will heal him.” He knew that all power was given unto him by the Father. He did not need to go and touch the centurion’s slave, hut needed only to speak the word, and it was done. He could heal from miles away as well as when in the presence of a sick person. How won derful is the power of the Lord Jesus Christ! Let us trust him at all times and under all circumstances.
