Thursday, February 19, 1931 McCOJtMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER SIX Home-Grown Dairy Feeds Give The Farmer More Profit DAIRY SPECIALISTS TO MAKE CAMPAIGN IN STATE CLEMSON COLLEGE, Feb. 10.— The Extension Service Dairy Divi sion is now inaugurating a vigor ous statewide campaign for the 1931 crop-planning program which shall include sufficient feed crops, roughages, grains, and pasturage to maintain the producing dairy cows of the state in full flow of •gink the year round. This pro gram has been so designated as to apply to the family cow as well as to commercial herds, states C. G. Cushman, extension dairy special ist, who says that while such a program is always fundamental it has a peculiar significance this year in a time of depressed prices which makes the lowering of pro duction costs mandatory. Pointing out that dairying in South Carolina has a distinct ad vantage in that such a variety of crops can be grown to make a well rounded and balanced feeding program possible, Mr. Cushman makes recommendations based on the requirements of. an average sized cow in production 10 to 11 months, during seven of which dry roughage and a grain supple ment will be fed, in a home-grown feed program. For one cow— 1. Two tons of good legume hay, or two tons of ensilage and one ton of legume hay. 2. 1680 pounds of grain made up of seven bushels of ear corn, 420 pounds of velvet beans in pod 14 bushels of oats, four sacks ; of 3E HARDWARE, PAINTS and OILS Poultry Wire Plow Lines Plow Repairs Back Bands Singletrees Traces Canvass Collars Leather Collars Bridles Shovels Garden Tools Paints and Oils at attractive prices, also 10 cents cans of Varnishes and Paints.

In buying foodstuffs there is the added necessity of getting the best for your health’s sake as well as for economy.

S. STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. ing Routes Cream gathering routes for local creameries have become more com mon because of motor trucks and improved country roads, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The Bureau of Dairy Industry has found that where farmers bring in their sweet cream to the creamery every day or every other day, de terioration in quality in transit is usually very slight. However, if the farmers bring in cream only once or twice a week, it is usually sour and stale, and the creamery can get a better quality of cream by starting a gathering service and collecting the cream by motor truck three or four times a week, and thus produce a better quality of butter. At some creameries, the bureau declares, regular collection of cream by motor trucks has so improved the quality of the but ter produced that the premium for higher quality butter more than pays for the cost of gather ing the cream. The cost per pound of butterfat for operating a cream gathering route may be estimated closely by determining the length of the route and the number of miles of travel, the quantity of cream and its butterfat content, the wages for the truck driver and other labor, and the cost per mile of operating each truck. If the cost of collecting cream is ten cents a pound of butterfat, for ex ample, this is more than the serv ice is worth to the farmer or to the creamery. However, a cost of about two cents a pound of but terfat for gathering cream by mo tor truck is less than the cost to the average farmer for delivering his cream.

Two to three acres of im proved permanent pasture. 4. One-half acre of winter graz ing crops. 5. One-fourth acre of soiling crop (cut and fed green). The legume hays may be either one or a combination of soybean, peavines, alfalfa, oats and vetch, or peavines and cane. If silage will be available, the amount of legume hay required will be less ened. The 1680 pounds of grain will allow eight pounds of grain daily for the cow for 210 days. Ground and mixed in equal parts by weight with a legume roughage, this gives a well balanced feed.v ’ i The velvet bean is not as appli- ; cable in parts of the Piedmont as! in the Coastal Plains. In such case wheat bran may.be substituted in the ration or 50 per cent more ear com and 50 per cent more oats or 100 per cent more of either may be provide^ to take the place of velvet beans. By an improved pasture is meant freed from brush and under growth: and unless a particularly good sod of bermuda, Carpet grass, lespedeza, white dutch clover is natural with such a pasture, it should be seeded to assure a pro ductive pasture of good growthy grasses. ’ Temporary winter grazing crops include rye, barley, oats and vetch, or a combination of them sown in the fall and grazed intermittently during the winter and spring when the land will permit: Soiling crops (cut and fed green) are of inestimable value during the hot dry months of summer, parti cularly to supplement pastures when the July and August sun has parched the uplands. Sudan grass, teosinte, cane, com, soybeans, nap- ier grass or any crop that will make a heavy green growth when planted on very rich land close to the bam lot, particularly those that will come on again after be ing cut, are great allies of increas ed milk production and conse quent lowered costs. ! These recommendations will be of no value three or four months from now except for the 1932 feeding program, and every fanner who keeps either a family cow or a commercial herd is urged to apply this program at once by simply multiplying the number of cows kept by the requirements for one cow and then planting the neces sary acreage to produce his needs and make 1931 that banner feed growing year with greater milk yields and resulting profits. XXX— Cream Gather- This Week h Arthur Brisbane Mr. Young on Banks Gandhi’s Sky Writing A Wise German Dogs, Beef, Pork Extremely important to American business, especially to the little man who would like to know that his sav ings are safe and not used by graft ers in their speculations, is a sugges tion by Owen D. Young. He would establish government control of com mercial banks, for their regulation and the public’s protection. Mr. Young points out that this coun try has had 6,000 bank failures in the past ten years. He did not say so, but everybody knows that 2s back of many such failures. Mr. Young says truly: “It is a great reflection on the Ameri can people that they cannot get a banking system which will • prevent such tragedies as we have witnessed.” Gandhi tells 100,000 listeners that victory for his “holy crusade”, .to free India is “written in the skies if we follow the path of truth and non-vio lence.” Few victories have been won by non-violence. In fact, no nation ever won freedom except by fighting for it. In the opinion of at least 200,000,000 Hlndns, a successful “holy crusade” would include the right to restore child marriage without restriction, the burn ing of widows, and a system of rever ence for animal life, cows especially, that allows the miserable animals, when they get old, to die fit hunger because no one has the right to kill them. Germany possesses an appallingly wise person named Dr. Georg Joos, professor of theoretical physics at Jena. The wave length of a. ray of light is from one twenty-five thousandth to one fifty thousandth of an inch in length. The marvelous Joos can meas ure the one thousandth part of that. ITiis enables him to prove that there Is no “ether drift” and that the speed of light is absolute. In some mysterious wtoy; Doctor Joos confirms Einstein’s theories. Sometimes you are .sorry you cannot understand all. that, and sometimes you th^nk heaven for your ignorance. Mohammedans are fighting Hindus In India, as usual. Mohammedans cooked some beef, which horrified Hin dus, by whom the cow and all its re lations are held sacred. War started, a village was burned, and a Sikh officer in the British serv ice was burned alive. Then Mohammedans threw the beef Into Hindu temples. The Hindus, for revenge, threw dead dogs into the Mo hammedan mosques, greatest insult you can offer a Mohammedan. Hindus won’t eat beef. Mohamme dans won’t eat pork. Englishmen eat both and rule Mohammedans and Hin dus. “Joe the Baker,” known to his moth er and early friends as Joseph Cata nia, is dead. With his mouth shut tight, refusing to tell who shdt him, he struggled against a flock of ma chine gun bullets and succumbed, elim inated because he interfered with boot legging in the territory of “Dutch” Schultz, the “Bronx beer baron.” Thus far not one of many gangsters shot down has told police who killed him, although a majority of them knew. Perhaps they thought they would not die. “Joe the Baker” was one of the New York gangsters that had the honor of entertaining a distinguished New Yprk judge at a welcome home dinner. Other cities will read with a gasp that projects for public improvements which New York now has in hand will cost more than two thousand million dollars. Mr. Berry, comptroller, delights the hearts of capitalists, announcing the sale this year of $282,130,000 of city bonds. On their income Uncle Sam collects no income tax. When the big bridge over the Hud son is completed New York city will have its first above-ground connection with the rest of the American conti nent, and New York newspapers can not agree on a name for the bridge. “Washington Memorial bridge,” Is the official name thus far. Mr. Mason of the Post wants to call it “Palisades bridge” and Mr. Patter son, who has a newspaper, wants to call it the “Hudson bridge.” A wise compromise might call it the “Edison bridge.” Edison brought light across the Hud son, from New Jersey to Manhattan, and spread it all over the world. This writer back in the night of time saw him putting lights in “Harry Hill’s,” where John L. Sullivan fought. It would please a good many ,Ameri- cans to honor Edison, the greatest man this country has developed since Lin coln, and to do it while he is alive to know about it. Stalin of Russia, who ought to know, does not agree with American finan ciers Who predict disastrous failure for Bussia’s “five-year plan.” He Bays the plan will be completed certainly inside of four years, perhaps U& l {hreew • 1 ’ - Improved Uniform International Sunday School T Lesson T (By REV.

PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus Teaching About* God. JUNIOR TOPIC — Jesus Teaching About God. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—“Take Heed How Ye Hear.” YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Cultivate an Honest and Good Heart I. The Field of Jesue’ Ministry (v.l.) “He went throughout every city and village.” It is the will of God that the gospel should be preached to the whole world. .11. The Message of Jesus (v. 1). The gospel,* message is truly good tidings, for God the Great King is of fering to rebellious sinners salvation through Jesus Christ. III. Jesus’ Helpers (v. 1). The twelve apostles were with him. The gospel preacher should utilize the help of others. Those who have heard the good tidings of the gospel giady join in preaching it to others. IV. Jesue Supported by Saved Worn- en (vv. 2, 3). Certain women who had been saved from Satan’s power, out of hearts of gratitude looked after the comfort of the Lord and his disciples. This throws light on how Christ and the apostles were supported., V. Jesue Teaching (vv. 4-21). Jesus was not only a gospel preach er but a great teacher. When the peo ple from every city gathered unto Him, He taught them. 1. By the Parable of the Sower (vv. 4-15). (1) The sower was Jesus himself (Matt 13:37). (2) The seed was the Word of God (v. 11). (3) The kinds of ground (vv. 5-15). The kinds of ground show the con dition of the human heart as the Word of God is preached. a. The wayside (v. 5). The foot- trodden path of the wayside pictures the hard-hearted hearers upon which no impression can be made. The word preached finds no entrance and Satan snatches It away as the birds pick up the grain from the hard-beaten path.* b. Stony ground (v. 6). This is not ; ground where stones are mixed with the earth, but a thin layer of earth in a ledge of rock. This pictures the hearer who receives the gospel with joy, but when persecutions and trials come, he gives up and deserts the com pany (v. 15). - c. Thorny ground (v. 7). The ground here is good, but it has thorns grow ing in it. This pictures those whose lives are fruitless because of being preoccupied with earthly cares, riches, and the pleasures of life (v. 14). d. The good ground (v. 8). The seed here sprang up and bore fruit to the full measure. This is a picture of the honest heart which receives the gospel message and allows it to pro duce in its life a full harvest of grain (v. 15). 2. By the lighted candle (vv..16-18). The Word of God is compared to a lamp or lighted candle. A lamp is of use only as it sends out light. One who hears God’s Word and does not witness for Christ is as a lamp cov ered up. 3. Kinship with Jesus Christ (vv. 19, 20). Only those who receive the message of God’s Word and render glad obedience to it can claim relation ship with Christ. VI. Jesus Performing Wonders (vv. 22-40). 1. Calming the storm (vv. 22-25). Jesus fell asleep while the disciples were sailing the ship. They were overtaken by an unusual storm and were affrighted. In response to their cry of distress Jesus arose and re buked the storm, and likewise the dis ciples. 2. Casting out demons (vv. 26-39). When Jesus came into the country of the Gadarenes he was met by a de mon-possessed man. Knowing their doom, the demons requested permis sion to enter a herd of swine. Jesus granted their request, after which the herd ran violently down a steep place Into the lake. The effect upon the people was such that they besought Jesus to depart from them. The sal vation of tlds man from demon pos session ought to have awakened grati tude on the part of the people. The delivered man desired to he with the Lord. His request was refused be cause it was more important for him to make known to his friends at home the great deliverance which had come to him. Only One Deliverer No one into whose soul the Iron of sin’s bondage has entered can free either himself or others. Our emanci pator must be one who is in fullest, uninterrupted communion with the Father, and comes, armed with his power, to break every yoke and bring liberty to the captives.—^Alexander Maclaren.
