Christmas tree formed the center) txt of the family’ gathering on Christ- j mas Day. But -the feast of Christmas and the Christmas tree imply very much more than merely pleasant recollections. ' v There is no race or religious creed which does not believe, in some form or other, in a divine promise of a better world. No one can * liv£ very long in this world without discovering that the forces which make it, from generation to generation, a better world to live'in, and which are steadily making human beings more kindly and tolerant toward each other, are not the forces which science has discovered and industry has harnessed, but are forces which come from within the human soul and that spirit of tolerance, of kindliness, of “peace on earth, good will to men” is, to all Christians, a spirit flowing directly from the Heavenly throne. And what we celebrate at Christmas is the n^anifestation of that spirit on earth. . . .

Day, Trenton farmer, has been rescued from the devastating effects of the disease called rosette through the use of vetch as a cover crop, according to W. H. Barton, Edgefield county farm agent, the humus and fertility supplied by the cover crop appar ently being responsible for the re covery. j Mr. Day’s orchard was noticeably infested with frosette in 1927, when he made 300 pounds of nuts, says Mr. Barton, in giving the following data. In 1928 Mr. Day planted vetch but cut it for hay and gath ered only 190 pounds of nuts. In 1929 he planted vetch and turned it in for soil fertility and ability, and that year his yield of nuts was 590 pounds. Again in 1930 he planted and turned in vetch, continuing Mr. Barton’s suggestion, and gathered GRADE ONE— Jamie Senders Graydon Dukes Herbert Caudle John McCracken Mary Sue Furqueron grade' TWO— Norma Holloway Mildred Creighton Virginia Fooshe •GRADE THREE— Natalie Brown Elizabeth Fooshe Lois Freeland Betty Fuller Selma Rush GRADE FOUR— Jim Bradley Chiles Maggie Franklin Willie Mae Hall , Imogene Sanders Frances Schumpert GRADE FIVE— Margaret Holloway Herbert Sturkey Charles Henry Williams GRADE SIX— Mary Elizabeth Giles GRADE SEVEN— v Elizabeth Harris William Fooshe Rebecca Drucker Elizabeth Talbert Mary Sue Coleman • • GRADE EIGHTH— Connie Lee Brown Lura Gilchrist Marie Reames Annie Laurie Sturkey GRADE NINE— Gladys Price Claude Workman John Bill Bradley GRADE TEN— Lorenzo Sturkey Eula Caudle Helen Crawford Maggie Lou Parks Jewel Patterson Sara Schumpert GRADE ELEVEN— NONE.
