After Sunday the meeting will be morn ing and evening service. We are hoping that this, our first home coming day, will be a success from every standpoint, realizing it is an undertaking with so few members; still we are going to try to make it a success and hope no one wil go away hungry. The home peo ple understand it means that a huge basket from each family must be brought. A special invitation is extended to all former members and residents of this church, and also to the former pastors. We surely wish Rev. Littlejohn, who was our pastor for 20 years, could be with us; and an invitation is al so extended across the ocean to Rev. Jackson, a former pastor, as well as all other former pastors There are quite a few of them scattered about. We also wish it were possible for our eldest mem ber and wife, Mr. Robert Broad water and his brother, Mr. Nick Broadwater, to be with us. Mem bers are scattered from Florida to North Carolina and other places. We are looking forward to a pleas ant day. To each, a welcome.

Long, director of the exten sion Service, who believes that the Grange, involving the whole family and the welfare of all phases of farm and home, offers the best agency to bring about such organ ization. Dr. Long was speaking at the annual picnic of the State Grange held at Clemson College, July 21, and concluded his remarks with the statement: “Clcmsoi: College is committed to the sup port of the Grange.” Ex-Congressman A. F. Lever, principal speaker at the Grange meeting, reviewing the economic and agricultural status, said that agriculture rests upon a oripod, the "hree legs of which are production finance, and distribution. He traced the history of agricultural legisla tion resulting in the establishment of agricultural colleges for teaching experiment stations for fact find ing, and extension services for oractical distribution of informa tion. He discussed also the im portant work of the Government in supporting co-operative marketing, the Federal Farm Board, the land banks and other matters tending to improve the financial status of the farmer and the economic distribu tion of his products.
