EPTING, Commander. On Monday morning . August 22, 1932, Mr. H. E. Freeland received a telephone message that his fa ther, Mr. William Freeland, had died suddenly that morning about 8 o’clock while walking out in the field. He was subject to those heart attacks, but his loved ones were not prepared for the shock, as he was as well as usual, and attended church at Good Hope Church the day before. Most of his children had come home for the beginning of revival services. Few people are better prepared to be snatched into eternity as Mr. Freeland was, than phe who had lived a Christian life all his life. He had recently re marked to his family that he was ready to go, and realizing his con dition said the only reason he had to be spared was for his influence. His family was very devoted to him. His sons made the statement to his pastor the day of the funeral that they had never heard their father curse nor seen him drink a drop of whiskey in their lives, What a heritage to leave his children, what an example not only for his children bqt many others. Mr. Freeland was reared in the Plum Branch community by Christian parents. He w^s the son of Mr. Eugene Freeland. His mother preceeded his father to the grave many years. Mr. Freeland had passed the three score and ten years allotted to man. His sev entieth birthday was celebrated this year'by a family reunion. How often children are possessed to do little kindnesses for loved ones, by some, unknown power, shortly be-' fore they embark • for a land “Where We Never (jJrow Old.” Mr. Joe Freeland was a twin brother of Mr. William Freeland. The former died a few years ago. Mr. Freeland was buried at his home church yard, Good Hope, where many friends and loved ones payed a last respect to his mortal remains. The flowers were num erous and beautiful, one piece es pecially, whidh was sent from the employees of an ice plant in Greenville where one of his sons works. One of the largest crowds ever seen at Good Hope attended the funeral. Mr. Freeland was married in early life to Miss Mollie Ouzts of the Mountain Creek section. They reared a large family of boys and girls who raise up and call them blessed for the way they reared them to make ; honorable citizens. This family retains the family altar that so many homes have discard ed. May the sudden going of this good man prepare many souls who are not ready to meet their God. To the bereaved widow and her children, the dear old grandmother, take your burden to the Lord. No human, however sympathetic, can comfort like the sympathetic Jesus, whose sorrows have been more than ours over a sin sick world. . May God, in His Infinite wisdom, bring comfort and peace to the hearts of our faithful superintend ent, Mr. H. E. iVeeland, and his devoted wife in ti^eir great sorrow, is the- wish of their friends. - ' v X-—,— Plan Series Of % Health Articles Notes For Fall And Winter Gardens Plans for a series of articles on the preservation of health and the prevention of disease to be spon sored by the South Carolina Medi cal Association were announced yesterday by Dr. J. R. Young of this city, president of the association in letters to all newspapers and per iodicals In the state. The series which is to be started in the early fall will continue for approximately six months, Dr. Young stated, appearing weekly during that period. The articles will be carefully edited by the commit tee on Public Health and Instruc tion and none of them will be signed. None of the articles wil: contain propaganda designated tc promote the interests of the medi cal profession, Dr. Young stated The approach will be solely hum anitarian. This program of articles was on< of the first steps taken by Dr. Young when he became presiden. of the state association recently Plans have been under way some time and virtually all the articles will be prepared at an early date Practically all newspapers ol the state have agreed to carry the articles, Dr. Young stated. An nouncement regarding the initial date of the appearance of the arti cles will be made within the next few days, it is thought.—Anderson Ipdependent, of Tuesday. Keep up shallow plowing to pro vide the necessary dust mulch for the purpose of conserving the moisture. Plants must be fed with regular continuation, they cannot stand fasting periods, they must have food regularly. During the months of August and September apply well decomposed stable manure between the rows. Tomato cuttings from the spring plants of course were set during July in well fertilized rows. Now they must have shallow cultivation, with the sweep once each week to conserve the moisture and prevent evaporation. Begin to transplant your young tomato plants for the fall crop. Transplant, using strong, stocky plants, retaining as much soil as possible around the roots. Trim lower leaves from stems leav ing buds and two leaves. Set deeply in the ground and pour one pint of water in the aperture made for setting the plant, cover with packed soil, putting a mulch of loose earth on top surface. Work carefully, by plownig lightly with the sweep once each week. When the plants have grown too large for horse cultivation mulch the ground with pine needle or wheat, oats on rye straw. Have you ever tried cutting the spring bunch bean bushes down to three inches from the ground af ter bearing season is over, running a furrow on each side of the row with the bull tongue plow, intro ducing fertilizer into this furrow and then throw soil over this with the side shovel? Try it and see what a good crop of beans this old root system will give you. Plantings for August and Sep tember Irish potatoes now—Irish Cobb ler, Lookout Mountain. Rutabagas—Plant now and in September. Do not forget to plant every 15 or 21 days. Turnips—Extra Early Purple Top, Whit# Egg and White Globe until September 15.

Sausages For The Summer? And How According to the “Family Food Guide” set up by the Bureau of Home Economics, U. S. Depart ment '■'f Agriculture, tomatoes (or oranges) should be served to chil- i dren every day and to adults at What a loVely day! Much too least two or four times a week. lovely to spend indoors, is often. The nutritive value of tomatoes the greeting for a glorious summer has not always been recognized, morning. “It is on such days as Less than twenty years ago food this that sausage proves its real and dietary specialists spoke of it worth,” says Inez S. Willson, home as being of no value except as it economist. The many kinds of added color and flavor to a neal. sausage are easily prepafed, easily It is now known as an excellen 1 served, and have the flavor that source of vitamin C, the antiscor- can stimulate the more than us- butic vitamin, and a good source of three others, A, B and G. This means that tomatoes contain th' vitamins which promote normal growth and help to keep the tis sues of the eye, ear, nose, and throat resistant to infection r stimulate the appetite; aid in ihe digestive processes and prevent pellagra. In addition to the vitamin con tent, tomatoes develop an alkaline reaction in the body. If- eaten in ually dulled appetite—just the thing for summer weather when time in the house is at a premium. Of the many kinds of sausage, some are served cold; others are served hot in combination with other foods, but even then, they can be prepared in a few minutes help to j an( j require a minimum amount of effort. Here are some suggestions which will prove useful. Sausage Ramekins Butter individual baking dishes liberal quantities they help to i or ramekins.

H. Gooding, extension poultry- man, who states that this is large ly a matter of getting them in good flesh before allowing them to start laying. “Poultrymen often make the mis take of starting the pullets on lay ing mash too soon,” Mr. Gooding cautions. “Pushing pullets for pro duction by feeding a high protein mash in the summer is one of the causes of molting in the fall *and winter. After the pullets are put in the laying house, they should continue to be fed liberally on grain. By doing this, as a rule, the pullets will stay in good flesh and a great deal of the neck molt may be avoided.” Another essential in conditioning pullets for profitable laying, he states, is that before the pullets are placed in the laying quarters the house be cleaned and disin fected thoroughly, the best disin fectant to use being one can qf lye to 15 gallons of water, and the runs used by the birds plowed and seed ed to a suitable green crop for win ter grazing. X In some kinds of snail, the tongue has 15,000 microscopic teeth ar ranged in rows along it. using tomatoes, their use, except ?n cases of true idiosyncrasy, is al most unlimited. Tonv*to Juice The tomato juice cocktail which has so recently achieved widespread popularity is a pleasant way of serving this necessary vegetable, or fruit, as it is classed in nutrition. Plain tomato juice may be given to infants as soon as they are permit ted to have orange juice with which it can safely be alternated. Plain tomato juice makes an ex cellent alternative for citrus fruits for breakfast for adults as well as children. Because of the shortage of the fruit crop in the state this year, it is strongly recommended that housewives can a liberal supply of tomato juice as a substitute for the citrus fruits in next winter’s diets. Method for Canning Tomato Juice In packing tomato juice, only firm, red-ripe tomatoes should be used, and they should be vine-ripe- ened. Thoroughly wash them and trim out all mould, decayed spots, etc. Next cut in pieces and put through vegetable chopper or meat grinder, using the fine blade (with small holes in the plate). After grinding the tomatoes, strain through fine wire seive. Pour in to thoroughly washed and steriliz ed pint or quart jars. Add one teaspoon of the salt and sugar mix ture (1-2 cup salt mixed well with; I cup sugar) to each pint of tomato juice. Put the rubber on the jar and cover it, leaving the lower clamp up, and process the jars in hot water bath for 16 minutes after water begins to boil. Remove from boiler an(J fasten down lower clamp on jar. Store in cool place. Trees Have “System” For Scattering Seed Trees are far from haphazard in reseeding forest land, says the For est Service, United States Depart ment of Agriculture. As a rule seeds liberated from a tree at the same instant are scattered in £ straight line to leeward of the trees. If all seeds produced by a tree were to be released at one time thi.* would result in an undesirable con centration of seeds in a limited area and a total lack of seeds ir other areas. Nature has guarded against any such wasteful process A pine cone, for example, opens one scale at a time. As the scale opens the two seeds which were borne under it drop out. Ordinarily several days elapse between the escape of the first and last seeds from any one cone. Fur thermore the cones on different parts of the same tree do not all open at the same time. One tree may be casting seed for several weeks. Variations in direction and velocity of the wind during this period result in widespread scatter ing of the seeds. Under certain unusual condition? tree seeds may be carried for mans miles. Possibly this may not occu; with one seed in a million, but thi fact is of great interest in explain ing the occurrence of scatterec ! specimens far from seed trees. X More than 300 bus and truck lines are operated in Oklahoma. Planked Sausage 1-2 inch slices of summer sau sage. Mashed potatoes. 1 egg. Grated cheese. Cut sausage 1-2 inch thick and arrange on a plank. Using a pas try tube, place a border of hot mashed potatoes to which a beaten egg has been added around the sausage. Cover the* top with grat ed cheese and place in a slow oven until thoroughly heated, then brown a moment under the broiler flame. Garnish with parsley and serve hot. j Baked Apples With Sausage Pork sausage. 4 tart apples. I- 4 cup sugar. 1 tablespoon butter. 1 cup water. Core and pare the apples. Stuff -the centers with sausage and place them in the baking dish. Sprinkle with sugar and place butter on top* of each apple. Add water, cover and bake in a moderate oven until tender. Escalloped Sausage II- 2 cups salami cut into small pieces. 3 tablespoons butter. 4 tablespoons flour. 1 cup milk. 1 cup buttered bread crumbs. 2 hard-cooked eggs. Salt and pepper. Make a white sauce by melting the butter, adding the flour and seasoning, and blending with milk. Cook until smooth and creamy. Dice the hard-cooked egg and add to the diced meat. Place the meat and egg mixture in a buttered baking dish and over it pour the white sauce. Add a dash of salt and pepper and cover with buttered bread crumbs.. Bake in a moderate oven until the bread crumbs are a golden brown. rxi Insects, Not Disease Cause Pecan Black Pit $ Black pit, which sometimes re sults in heavy losses to pecan growers, is now ascribed to insect activity rather than to the effect of disease organisms, at one tune considered responsible for it. Recent investigations by entom ologists of the United States De partment of Agriculture indicate that some of the stink bugs and plant bugs puncture the pecans while they are in the water stage and suck the juices from the nuts; The tiny punctures cause a dark ening of the interior of the nut, with little or no evidence of injury on the outside. This causes the nuts to shed before they mature. The best way to protect pecans from black-pit injury is to select cover crops for the orchard, which do not harbor the insects that cause the trouble. Cowpeas and soybeans are favorite host plants of stink bugs and plant bugs, and for this reason should not be used as cover crops. Velvet beans, the in vestigators learned, offer the most protection, since they attract few of these bugs. Such cultivated plants as beans, squash, and toma toes, as well as any additional plants on which these insects are known to breed, should not be planted in or near pecan orchards.
