The following editorial comment was also made concerning this im portant meeting: The church of Christ today faces moral, religious and political prob lems of far reaching influence up on the future of b»Mi religion and civilization. Crime, atheism, immorality, in temperance, are organized and are arrogant, insolent and unashamed. Not in modem times has irrever ence for the institutions of religion reached so dangerous an attitude as now. “Christ was crucified by a refer endum.” There is not a cause which He holds dear which His ene mies are not ready to resubmit to day. The experience of Canada in al lowing liquor to come back has brought disappointment, sorrow and deep regret. The same expe rience will be ours if we allow the liquor interests to triumph. Sincere co-operation on the part of all Christian leaders is required at this time. X Rev. Leon T.

Good Farming Hints For July Attention CLEMSON COLLEGE, July 5.— Important suggestions for guidance of busy farmers in July are given by R. W. Hamilton, agronomist; E. H. Rawl, horticulturist; Alfred Lut- ken, entomologist; and J. T. McAl ister, agriculutral engineer. Agronomy When field work slacks up, haul in grain straw, leaves, swamp grass, and other litter for the compost heap. Sow peas, soybeans, or velvet beans now and they will make growth to turn under for soil build ing. If old corn is not so good, it is not too late to plant more. Horticulture Remove all broken and diseased limbs from fruit trees immediately after harvesting. Pull sweet corn shortly before meal time; it loses its sugar rapid- ?y- Piece fruits and vegetables in the shade at cnce after harvesting, to hold their quality. Plant second-crop Irish potatoes, preferably Lookout Mountain. Dig tulips and ether bulbs, dry them out, and plant again in late September. Insects and Diseases Control tomato insects and dis ease with Bordeaux-lead arsenate rpray. Remcve and burn corn plants in fected with smut. Examine banded apple trees ev- *ry ten days and destroy codling moth larvae. Dust cctton with calcium arsen ate when boll weevil infestation has reached ten per cent. Transfer and requeen bees. Agricultural Engineering Begin construction now on rench silo to be ready when sil- irf is ripe. Repair and construct needed farm buildings. P'an to install water system and other farm conveniences. Conti oue the two-horse cultiva- rr^^ing sweeps for shallow cul tivation. Investigate possibilities of utiliz ing small vstreams for irrigating gardens and truck projects.

Just before a thunder- 1 storm the atmosphere is unusually warm or even uncomfortably hot. This warm condition is ideal for ! bacteria to work, and the sour milk is a result. The heat and bac teria do the trick, not the thun der. More attention to cooling the milk is suggested to prevent sour ing at these times. for poisoning weevils. Many friends in McCormick Counts? - will learn with interest of the recent promotion of Mr. L. F. Bradshaw with The Crowell Pub lishing Company. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Bradshaw of Parksville and entered this line of work with The Crowell Publishing Company about a year ago as a field manager with headquarters at Savannah, Ga. All join in con gratulating him upon his early pro motion and wishing for his con tinued success. In announcing his promotion the company said, in part: We are glad to announce the pro motion of L. F. Bradshaw, who has just been placed in charge of the Nashville Office. Mr. Bradshaw was given this important post in Superintendent Goltra’s Division because as a Field Manager in Sav annah he demonstrated his ability to get results and his willingness to work along Company lines. As a Field Manager, Mr. Brad shaw showed rapid development and continually improved on the quality of his business.

Seawright, secretary of the as sociation. This important con ference with Dr. Lewis will be at 10 a. m., at the Jefferson hotel, where the regular program will begin at 11 o’clock. The morning program, Mr. Sea wright announces, will include the following: President’s Address—J. G. Wof ford, Hartsville, S. C. “The Coming of the Agricultural College”—Dr. E. W. Sikes, Presi dent of Clemson College. “Poultry Outlook for 1933”—O. M. Clark, Clemson College. “Producing Hatching Eggs That Hatch”—C. L. Morgan, Clemson College.

X Too many people fail u o regulate their bite by their capacity to chew. More children and adolescents die from tuberculosis than from any of the common diseases cf childhood, according to a report of the South Carolina tuberculosis association, mailed this week to members and prospective members in counties having no tuberculosis associations. In a program based upon this fact the field nursing service of the as sociation in the last eight months, had 2516 children in counties giv en the tuberculin test to see if they were infected and found 373 posi tive reactors. Local physicians and volunteer workers and a clini cian furnished by the State Board of Health, co-operated in this work. The positive reactors are being followed up to see that they are given a thorough examination, with x-ray pictures, to discover if they have tuberculosis in either the adult or chilhood form. Due to the loss cf funds in closed banks, the nursing service has been suspended for three months. The response to the membership appeal will decide whether or not the ser vice will be restored in the fall. The membership letter states that a dollar invested in this nurs ing service will give at least one child, who has been expo*sed to tuberculosis, the opportunity for examination, instruction and pos sibly treatment. Since only a few letters are being mailed, the State Association at Co lumbia is requesting readers of this paper who are interested, to send in their membership dollars without personal solicitation. Organiza tions may become members upon payment of a five dollar fee. txt Livestock A Good Bet In Depression Times / CLEMSON COLLEGE, July 5.— Feed crops, like most other things, are cheap now, but,.the cost of marketing these crops has not been materially reduced, and for this and many other reasons, it is a good plan for farmers to market their feed crops through livestock, Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of the animal husbandry division here, thinks. ~ “While meat animals are low in price now, they are certainly noi relatively lower than feed crops, and there is always a sale for meat- producing animals,” Prof. Starkey continues. “When a farmer pro duces meat animals on his farm he may rest assured that they will bring cash any day he wants to put them on the market. “Hogs, cattle, and sheep have not made ‘a killing’ during the past year, but where they were produced on home-grown feeds they have marketed these feeds at a reason able price and brought to the farm a cash income. So there seems to be no logical reason why there should be a decline in the live stock population of South Caro lina.” x Braves Live Volcano Rikan Konishi, Honolulu Japanese, received $1,000 reward for going down into the firepits of Kilauea vol cano to recover the bodies of two who had fallen or leaped to death.
