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

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.

Among the many new uses for
cotton, the U. S. Department of
Agriculture workers have noted
products such as tarpaulins for

THE BELIEVING CENTURION, A
GENTILE WHOSE FAITH JESUS
COMMENDED
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 8:5-13.
GOLDEN TEXT—And they shall
come from the east, and from the west,
and from the north, and from the
south, and shall sit down in the king
dom of God.
PRIMARY TOPIC—A Man Who Be

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC—Being Fair to Other Races.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—Overcoming Racial Prejudice.
I. Who the Centurion Was (v. 5).
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.
