Marion 4-H Farming
Sets 100% Standard
MARION, Jan. 7.—Marion coun
ty’s junior farmers enrolled in 4-H
agricultural clubs have set the state
a fine example in 100 per cent
farming, says Dan Lewis, acting
state boys’ club agent;' citing the
fact that every one of the 107 dem
onstrations in cotton, com, tobacco,
sweet potatoes, peanuts, and hogs
for 1932 was completed* with busi
nesslike records ot ^expenditures,
returns, and profits; and the fur-!
ther fact that for the three previ-!
ous years the Marion junior farm- 1
ets have been 100 percenters.
Club work data now in the hands
pf County Agent W. R. Wells show
that the leaders were Robert Ed- •
wards with a yield of 55 bushels
of # corn per acre; G. A. McIntyre,
Jr., 7975 pounds of seed cotton on .
five acres; Waldo Herring, tobacco,'
880 pounds per acre; Robey Atkin
son, potatoes, 266 bushels per acre;
Charlie Daniel, peanuts, 122.4 bush-
! els per acre; Leon Sweat, pig club
winner.
These Marion 4-H boys grew 117
acres of crops at a total cost of
$1,874.09 with a profit of $2,122.40
or an average profit 6f $18.14 per
acre. The total value of crops and
livestock demonstrations was $4,-
170.71 with a profit of, $2,162.41. .
Sixty-nine boys grew 76 1-2 acres
of corn which averaged 32.9 bush
els per acre. Twelve cotton club
members grew 24 acres which aver-
1 aged 454 pounds of lint. Eight
boy’s grew seven and one-half acres
of sweet potatoes, averaging 199
bushels per acre. Two peanut club
members averaged 85 bushels per
acre : Seven boys growing tobacco
j averaged 761 pounds per acre. Nine
boys grew hogs, all of whom made
a profit except one boy who lost
two cents.

ON LIKING PEOPLE
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Jan. 7.—
That South Carolina breeders of
purebred dairy cattle are making
on the average larger records for
both milk and butterfat production
is indicated in results of Advanced
Registry testing conducted by the
South Carolina Experiment Station
in 1932, says Prof. J. P. LaMaster,
head of the Dairy Division of the
Station.
‘ To carry on this important work
toward dairy herd improvement
two testers are employed to visit
the farms of those breeders who
desire their herds tested. These
breeders pay all expenses of the
work except the salary of the sup
ervisor, who is an Experiment Sta
tion official. >' • ~ ..
Jesus loved to be in the crowd. Apparently he attended all the
feasts at Jerusalem not merely as religious festivals but because all the
folks were there, and he had an all-embracing fondness for folks. We
err if we think of him as a social outsider. To be sure it was the “poor”
who “heard him gladly,” and most of his close disciples were men and
women of the lower classes. But there was a time when he was quite *
the favorite in Jerusalem. The story of his days is dotted with these
phrases. . . . “A certain ruler desired him that he should eat with him.”
. . . “They desired, him greatly to remain and he abode two days.” . . .
Even after he had denounced the Pharisees as “hypocrites” and “chil
dren of the devil,” even when the clouds of disapproval were gathering
for the final storm, they still could not resist the charm of his pres
ence, nor the stimulation of his talk.
No other public character ever had a more interesting list of friends.
It ran from the top of the social ladder to the bottom. Nicodemus, the
member of the supreme court, had too big a stake in the social order to
dare to be a disciple, but he was friendly all the way through, and not
ably at the end. Some unknown rich man, the owner of an estate
on the Mount of Olives, threw it open to Jesus gladly as a place of re
tirement and rest. > When he needed a* room for the last supper with
his friends he had only to send a messenger ahead and ask for it. Tha
request was enough. ; And in the last sad hours, when the hatred of
his enemies had completed its work and his body hung lifeless from the
cross, it was a rich man named Joseph—a rich man yyho would have
sunk into oblivion-like the other rich men of ail the ages except for his
one great act of friendship—who begged the authorities for his body,
and having prepared it for burial laid it in a private tomb.
Such were his associates among the socially elect. ‘ \ What sort of
people made up the rest of his circle? All sorts. Pharisees, fisher
men; merchants and tax collectors; cultivated women and outcast wo
men; soldiers, lawyers, beggars, lepers, publicans and sinners. What a
spectacle they must have presented trailing after him through the-
streets. But Jesus loved it all—the. pressure of the crowd, the clash of
wits, the eating and, the after-dinner talk. When he was criticised
because he enjoyed it so much and because his disciples did not fast
and go about with gloomy looks, he gave an answer that throws a won
derful light upon his'own conception of his mission.
“Do the friends of the bridegroom fast wjiile the bridegroom is still
with them?” he demanded. . “Not a bit of it; they enjoy every moment
of his stay.. I am the bridegroom; these are my hours of celebration.
Let my friends be happy with me for the little while that we are togeth
er. There will be plenty of time for solemn thoughts after I am gone.”

The election year, 1932, brought me some interesting news items.
Our state changed governors this year, as did many others. But it is
not the political, but the dietary habits that attracted my attention-

Lesson for January 15. Mark 1:21-34
Golden Text: John 5:17
The verses chosen for our lesson give a swift moving picture, from
the graphic -pen of Mark, of a busy Sabbath in the life of Jesus. Thi
impression given is one of concentrated power, without haste, without
rest. ' Mark is at his best in the nervous rapidity of the narrative.
At the beginning, we are told that the Master went to the syna
gogue. Such attendance was habitual. (See Luke 4:16.) Now ther?
are many people in our day who rather pride themselv.es on the fac:
that they no longer attend Church. They feel emancipated. Such
folk get no comfort from the example of Jesus, for He went regularly
to the house of prayer, even though He must have been greatly boreJ
at times, by the sermons He heard.
Modern life needs badly the relaxation of spirit .true worship af
fords. The tempo, the strain, the social pressure of our time, are s >
fierce, that we easily succumb to nervous prostration, or “nervous pro: - >
perity,” as Dr. Grenfell calls it.
But the Master not only entered the synagogue. He took an activ?
part in the worship, charming those present by the beauty of His words.
Then Jesus healed an afflicted man, one nervously unstrung.. Whil j
few have similar cleansing power, all of us can, as Cardinal Newma.i
bids us, be “merciful toward the absurd.”
Next the Master went into the home of Peter. There He continued
His ministry of healing, curing the apostle’s mother-in-law of a feve
Finally, in the evening, a great^crowd gathered at the door and H?
was able to comfort and restore many of the sick. What an ideal finish
to a victorious day! How beautifully worship and service are blend
ed! Here we see the Great Teacher and Physician with all energies
released, giving Himself to the full!
