N i ArmiCK. MESSENGER l McCormick, S. G Winners of South Carolina Crop Contests Byrom Gresham, Greenville, won first place in Junior Vocational Cotton Contest by producing 2,635 pounds lint on three acres.. Manning Till, Orangeburg, won first place in the Junior Vocational Corn Contest with a yield of 320 bushels on three acres. J. B. Mfl^Michael of Orange burg, won first place, Orangeburg Dis trict, in 5-Acre Corn Contest, with a yield of 106 bufhels per acre. In the 5-Acre Cot ton Contest, Mrs. C. H. Mathis, Blackville, captured first place with a yield of 1,050 pounds lint per acre. Final plans have been announced for the crop-growing contests to be conducted among South Carolina farm folks this year. The new projects include a corn contest for adult farmers, cotton and corn contests for vocational students and 4-H club members, and a home garden contest for farm women. Copies of the rules, with the list of prizes, may be obtained from county agents, vocational teachers, or- the ex tension service of the Clemson Agri cultural College. “It is impossible to measure the value of crop-production contests in this State,” says H. E. Savely, South Carolina manager of the Chilea* Ni trate of Soda Educational Bureau which is sponsoring the projects. “They have served as an effective medium for acquainting farmers young and old with the value of good seed, adequate fertilizer, and the control of diseases and insect pests. The en trants in the contests- have found that the same methods used in making a high yield on a three or five-acre field may be profitably applied to the entire farm. “Higher yields are necesse..y in the State,” he declares, “in order to make profits at present low prices. It Is only through large yields that the cost of production, say of a pound of cotton or a bushel of corn, can be kept below the market prices.” False Economy Would Cut Big Slice Off Cotton Profits It is costly to omit nitrogen on cotton, ?.s shown by this field on the farm of A.

Omission of fertiliser as a step toward eonomy would cost cotton farmers about a third cf a bale per acre, according to a summary of 9 large number of farm tests reported recently by E. C. Westbrook, cotton and tobacco specialist of the Georgia Ctate College of Agriculture. Instead of representing economy, the cutting out of fertiliser this year would likely make the cost cf a pound of cotton so high that it would bo im possible to show a profit with prices at their present lew level. In Georgia tests in whkii no fertil izer was used the yield was .‘>.1# pounds seed cotton per acre. Where fertilizer was used the yield was inmoo ?d from 330 to 898 pounds. The average In crease was better than 500 pounds per acre. Figuring seed cotton at 4 cents per pound (which brings lint to 0 cents), but valuing the fertilizer at a cost of $5.00 to $10.00 a ton above present prices, the increase was worth a clear profit that ranged from $9.90 to $17.92 per acre. Professor Westbrook’s analysis shows that farmers can count on nearly $7 extra per acre by side-dress ing with 100 to 150 pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda after chopping. If farmers this year reduce the amount of fertiliser customarily used at planting, it is all the more important, he says, that they side-dress with quick-acting nitrogen.

Many a man jvho gets vamped is always looking for a chance to get revamped. In this lesson we are afforded a look Into two worlds where we see extremes of character and conditions. In this present world we see a rich man rev eling in luxury and a poor man in sore affliction, begging at the rich man’s gate. In the other world we see the same men with reversed positions —the erstwhile beggar enjoying the richest blessings of heaven while the former rich man suffers the torments of hell. These lives were intended to be representative. The rich man de scends from the highest pinnacle of worldly enjoyment to the depths of endless misery. The poor beggar as cends from utter wretchedness and misery to the loftiest heights of bless ing. I. Contrasted Lives Cvv. 19-21). 1. The rich man (v. 19). He lived in a mansion secluded from the common people. He was clothed in costly raiment. He fed upon the richest food that could be provided. It should be borne in mind that this man is not accused of having unlaw fully gained his riches. His sin was selfishly to indulge his appetites with out consideration of others. 2. The beggar (vv. 20, 21). He was laid at the rich man’s gate In the hope of getting at least the. crumbs from his table. No considera tion was given him by the rich man, and even the dogs of the street were nvore kind to him. Lazarus means “God is a help,” indicating that a godly life showed through his poverty. II. Contrasted Deaths and Burials (v. 22). 1. The beggar. lie was foynd dead and his body hurried off to a pauper’s grave. No notice was taken of it by the world, but that he was no longer to be seen at the gate of the rich man. 2. The rich man. He also died. His gold could not bribe the messenger of death. Doubt less a costly funeral was held. III. The Contrasted Destinies (vv. 22. 2k). 1. The beggar. He was at once carried by the an gels Into Abraham’s bosom. The souls of believers are especially cared f<>r at. the hour of death. They go imme diately to be with the Lord. Destinies are determined in this life. 2. The rich man. Though he had an elaborate burial, he lifted up his eyes in hell “being in torments.” The positions of thes4 men are now reversed—the poor man Is in the company of “just men made per fect,” and the rich man is stripped of his purple and fine linen and cast into hell. IV. The Reality and Fixedness of Life Beyond the Grave (vv. 24-31). 1. The cry for mercy (v. 24). Dives, which is the Latin name for “rich man,” was now willing to claim relationship to Abraham. He is keenly conscious, and the appetites which con trolled him while on earth were still with him. 2. Abraham’s reply (v. 2.")). This reply cast the matter hack upon the man’s memory. He said: “Son, re- Jiiember.” The lashings of a guilty con science will be most real in hell. The one supreme thing to remember will he the cause which led to the awful destiny. Then, too. it will be remem bered that the doom is just. H. The fixedness of life beyond the grave (v. 2G). Human destiny is fixed by the choices made during the earthly life. When one passes out of this life he enters into a state and condition which is unchangeable. 4. God’s Word the all-sufficient light (vv. 27-31). Dives requested that Lazarus go on an errand of mercy to his brethren. He regarded the testimony of a spirit of more value than the Word of God. Many today are more willing to trust the rappings of a ghost than the sure Word of God. Abraham declared that God’s Word Is sufficient—that those who reject Moses and the prophets would not repent though visited by one who had risen from the dead. The greatest miracles will not affect the hearts of men who reject the Bible. Lost men will learn too late the value of the soul.
