Thursday, March 5, 1931 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NUMBER SIX Forest Tree Plantings Increase In East, South FOREST SERVICE NURSERIES OF REGION EXPECT TO HAVE 6,- •00,000 YOUNG TREES GROW ING THIS YEAR Tree planting in the eastern and southern national forests has in creased nearly sixfold in the last three years, according to the For est Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Nurseries of Region 7, as the south and east part of the country Is known in the Forest Service, will soon have, 6,000,000 seedlings growing, says L. S. Gross, who has charge of planting on the national forests of the region. Three .years ago. the United States Forest Service had only one small nursery in this area. It now has two large and two small nurseries. The largest is the Par sons nursery in the Monongahela National Forest at Parsons, W. Va.; with more than 4 million young trees growing. The Ozark nursery, established last year at Russell ville, Ark., has a program for one million new trees this year, and Lake Bryant nursery in the Ocala National Forest in Florida plans to start 60,000 trees in the spring. Camp Pinchot nursery, in the Choctawhatchee National Forest, Florida, is connected with the Southern Forest Experiment Sta tion, and is producing small quan tities of experimental stock. Beginning in 1927 with an allot ment of $2,200, the Eastern Region will this year have $32,000 avail able for planting in the national forests. Forest plantings in 1927 amounted to 215 acres. During the calendar year just closed an area 2 ‘i » » HARDWARE, PAINTS and OILS Plow Lines .

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

There is no limit to the results it may bring. Your mes sage goes into the homes of several hundred people, and will be read in leisure time when decisions are made. - You won’t miss the small amount that advs. in this paper will cost. McCormick, S. C. 'if*-' of more than Jl^OO acres of forest, chiefly old bums, was planted, and the program for the present calen dar year calls for the planting of 1,500 acres. Average cost per acre of the 2,626 acres planted so far in the national forests of the Region has been $15.30. This heavy expense was largely the result of the dif ficulty of reforesting rough lands on the Monongahela and Allegheny National Forests. In Arkansas last year, planting was done for as lit tle as $4.75 an acre, including the stock. Costs are expected to de crease as planting is done on a larger scale. 1 Examinations of plantations last year showed that 82 per cent of the planted land checked had a satisfactory stand of young trees and 17 per cent rated partially successful. Only one per cent was classed as failure? with survival of less than ^40 per cent. • Losses of trees from the drought of 1930 can not be checked until mid-spring., As in past years planting will be done by crews of men employed locally. .. r^txx-r Crime Bill Is" . Charged To Inade quate Education , DETROri*' Wch., March 3.—In- adequate education “is responsible for the $13,000,000,000 crime bill of the Nation and the present unrest in the honie arid shocking mar riage conditions,” Dr. William Mc- Andrew, editor of School and Soc iety, told the convention of the department of*> superintendence, sponsored by the National Educa tion Association, at its opening session in this city. . 4 ; Dr. Willianv John Cooper, United States CommissiopCr of Education, stated that this meeting of super- int-endents is the greatest gather ing of official and unofficial edu cators at any one time during the year. Their, experience, research and opinions, he said, shape the destiny of American education. Al though education ► is primarily f a state and local concern these vari ous groups assembled under the auspices of a non-'govemmental agency comprise. thousands who are linked directly or indirectly with official national committees studying the makeup of education al administration, secondary edu cation, teacher training, illiteracy and teaching by radio as well as occupying similar relations with individual, state governments. Dr. McAndrew, in his address, pointed out the trend in 29 states toward teaching prospective brides and grooms, married men and wo men, mothers and fathers an in telligent and effective wedded life conduct of a home and trainihg of citizens. He questioned the policy of schools for excluding from their faculties women teachers who marry and raise a family, in com menting upon a policy that he con strued as tantamount to coercing the woman teacher either to suffer an economic loss after marriage or to compel her to remain single. He said that educators must “get the public school system out of the scholastic light .of. the . middle ages.” Charles H. Judd, member of the National Advisory - Committee on Education and of the University of Chicago, in a section meeting on school surveys, declared that the resources for educational research by the Federal Government should be increased and such plans in the future, irrespective of the form of the national agency, can not ig nore the research carried on by universities and other educational agencies. He said it is evident that only a Federal agency can collect, on a large scale, information re garding operations throughout the country. There should be a prop er division of labor between the Federal agency and the others, Dr. Judd declared in conclusion. X One of the chief sources of milk contamination on the farm is milk utensils which have not been prop erly washed and treated to kill bacteria. Rinse them on the out side as soon as possible after use. Scrub them with a brush, using warm water containing a soda ash or alkaline washing powder. After washing, steam them as thorough ly as possible. A galvanized-iron box with a small quantity of water in the bottom, heated over a fire, will serve for steaming. If steam is not available, use a chlorine solution. The utensils must be cleaned thoroughly so that no par ticles of organic matter stick to them. A chlorine solution should be used only once and must be made up twice daily. This Week by Arthur Brisbane Despite High Finance Ladies Hear About Russia Two Engineers Beautiful Women Los Angeles.—In spite of objections from highest financial, authority, in cluding Secretary Mellon, the senate and house approves overwhelmingly the bill to let veterans borrow one- half the * value of their war certifi cates. If they borrow one-half, Uncle Sam will. have to pay out more than $1,500,000,000, and high finance says that will be ruinous. As a rule, *‘blg money,” which means ability, should receive respect ful attention, as does the captain of a ship. But high finance is some times mistaken. Big bankers said the federal reserve system would ruin the country, because it kept a few men from controllinfe all the money. They were wrong. Without the federal re serve this country would have had a black panic long ago. They may be wrong in their idea that handing a billion dollars to those that need it, and earned it, will ruin us now. American lady patriots listening here for three hours are assured that Russia threatens our institutions, and this land is practically the last ref uge of good, government, as opposed to Red Russian ideas. Doctor Patmont of California went to Russia, “fooled the secret police, went just wherever he pleased, and saw things behind the scenes that Americans less intelligent never see.” He saw young girls standing in bread lines “with babies born, illegitimately under this Soviet system.” He saw “wild children, off spring of free love, sanctioned by the Soviet system, roaming around, until they were killed as pests by villag ers and their bodies burned.” In his introduction to the writings of George'Wasliington prepared for next year’s two hundredth anni versary, President Hoover says Wash ington’s engineering ability has hever been fully appreciated. Washington’s methods were surpris ingly modern. He reclaimed the Dismal swamp in Virginia, was adviser and engineer on the Potomac and James River- canal and first to advise a combined high way and waterway from the Atlantic coast to : the Ohio river. , The President describes his prede cessor as “the most potent human in tellectual force in the firmament of American intellect.” George Washington was the first en gineer to occupy the White House. President Hoover is the second. Hermosillo, Capital of Sonora, Mek. —The Indian word hermosillo means “little beauty,” and his excellency, Francisco Elias, governor of this state, says it applies to the city and to each woman in it On the streets, in stores, or at work in government offices, you see beautiful young girls. There is not a bobbed head or a shaved neck among them. Their dark hair falls, naturally curly, loose on their shoul ders and necks. Sometimes fastened with a ribbon. Their eyelids are low ered demurely, but when a young rancher from California asks one of them a question and she raises her eyes, his carefully prepared Spanish words are driven from his mind. This is a beautiful old city, one of the most important and progressive in Mexico. The soil is so fertile that even with dry-farming of wheat it yields ninety bushels of crop for one bushel of sown seed. A soil-expert sent by the British government to seek land for corn growing reported that the area west of Hermosillo has the fertility of the Nile valley. The state and federal governments concentrate on three things—education of children, building good roads, find ing employment for the idle—while waiting for new schools. Governor Elias leases the biggest private houses available, turning them into schools. Six hundred children go to school in one such building, 300 in another. Americans discuss an international highway from Canada, through Mexico to the Panama canal, and perhaps on to Tierra del Fuego. That is pleasant talk. But in the meanwhile Governor Elias has gigantic machines scattered between Hermosillo and Nogales, 175 mlleis, and will have that road finished in a year or less, if he can get more modern road machinery. Giant trac tors and grading machines could be seen at work on the new highway south recently, hundreds of men with stump pullers and blasting material working ahead of the road machinery. Doctor McGeehee, chemist at Emory university, Atlanta, says copper and iron in milk will correct anemic condi tions because those two metals, “taken In metalized milk, regenerate hema- globin.” For a long time doctors have known that red blood corpuscles, consisting chiefly of iron, contain also a trace of copper. . This was long thought to be more or less accidental and unimportant. Now it is known to be necessary. Every plmnlW can tell the doctors what active results ensue when you put copper and iron together, as in attaching brass pipes to an iron furnace. ff). 1 941. hv Kina’ Feature* Syndicate. Inc.)

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Stewardship of Life. I. How to ' Inherit Eternal Life 1 (vv. 25-38). 1. The lawyer’s question (v. 25). The term “lawyer” here means one versed in religious law—the Scriptures, not lawyer in our modern sense of that term. It would more nearly corre spond to our theological professor. The lawyer’s object was to trip Jesus, to induce him to take such a stand as would weaken his influence as a teacher. He expected Jesus to set forth some new ceremonies which would conflict with or disparage the law of Moses. . . , . 2. Jesus’ question (v. 26). Though Jesus knew the motive of the lawyer, he did not evade his question. He sent him to the law, the field which was familiar to him. He thus robbed him of his own weapon. 3. The lawyer’s reply (v. 27). He made an intelligent answer, declar- . ing that the entire content of the law was embraced * in love to God and man. This expresses the whole of human duty. . * * 4. Jesus’ reply (v. 28). The straight forward answer went to the heart of the lawyer. Perfect love to God and man is truly the way of life. No man has yet had nor can have such love. His sinful condition precludes its pos sibility. Man’s failure to measure up to this requirement Is his condemna tion. The lawyer keenly felt this thrust. He was defeated on his own . grounds and convicted of guilt. II. Who Is My Neighbor (vv. 29-37). 1; The lawyer’s question (v. 29). This question reveals the insincerity of the lawyer. Christ’s answer had reached his conscience, and now he seeks to escape the difficulty by ask ing a captious question. Lawyer-like he sought to get off by raising a ques tion as to the meaning of words. 2.. Jesus’ answer (vv. 30-37). Jesus* reply more than answered the lawyer’s question. In the Parable of the Good Samaritan he makes clear who is a neighbor, and also what it means to be a neighbor and what loving a neigh bor means. Christ’s answer had a double meaning. He not only made clear who Is my neighbor, hut made it clear that the lawyer was not play ing the neighbor. a. Who is my neighbor? This des titute and wounded man, left on the wayside by the robbers, is a man who needs a neighbor. My neighbor, there fore, is the one who needs my help, whether he lives next door or on the other side of the world. It does not regard locality, nationality, or blood relation. b. What being a neighbor means. Our supreme concern should not be “Who is my neighbor?” but “Whose neighbor am I?” To be a neighbor is: (1) To be on the look-out for those In need of our help (v. 33). It is keen to discern the needs of those with whom it is brought into contact. (2) To have compassion on the needy (v. 33). Christ’s compassion was aroused as he came into contact with those who were suffering and in need. (3) To give to those in need (v. 34). Love does not calculate the cost of its ac tions. Whenever there Is calculation ' of cost, there is the expression of selfishness. Many are willing to give money to help the poor and needy but are unwilling personally to min ister to them. The true neighbor gives himself as well as his money. (4) To hind up wounds (v. 34). If we have eyes to discern, we shall see many wounds about us that need at tention. (5) To set the helpless ones on our beasts while w r e walk (v. 34). This is the proof of the genuineness of our love. Those who are like Christ will deny themselves in order to have something to give to those who are in need. (6) To bring to the inn and take care of the unfortunate (v. 34). Genuine love does not leave its serv ice incomplete. True love follows up the needy. (7) To give money (v. 35). It costs a good deal to be a neighbor. Love is the most expensive thing in the world. It cost God his only Son. It cost Jesus Christ his life. This parable has been through the centuries the classic illustration of true Christian neighborliness. Born of God “He that loveth is born of God,” I therefore let us “keep our friendships in repair.” Let us cultivate the spirit of friendship, and let the love of Christ develop it into a great love not only for our Yriends but for all humanity! —Henry Drummond. God’s Errands Difficulties are God’s errands; and when we are sent upon them we should esteem it a proof of God’s con fidence.—Henry Ward Beecher. Plum Branch M. E.
