Hezekiah ascended the throne when Judah was in the throes of a spiritual depression. A young man in his 26th year, he was the good son of unworthy Ahaz. Probably his mother Abijah atoned for the wickedness of his father. From her he doubtless inherited a large share of his good qualities. “A good mother,” y/rote George* Her bert, ‘‘is worth a hundred school masters.” /! Hezekiah *s long reign of 29 years is of great importance.. It wit nessed the invasion of Judah by Sennacherib’s Assyrian army which .seized 46 cities and over 200,000 prisoners but was unable, because of a providential affliction, per haps a pestilence, to capture Jeru salem. , But we are more particularly in terested in Hezekiah’s religious re forms. They are described in the 18th chapter of the 2nd book of Kings where we read that ‘‘he re moved the shripes, broke the obe lisks, and cut down the sacred poles; he demolished the bronze serpent made by Moses.” And the chapter in 2nd Chronicles before our lesson says ‘‘he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord.” . The lesson describes the king’s invitation to all Israel and Judah to come to the temple at Jerusa lem to keep the passover. Hezekiah saw that everything in both king doms was sinking from bad to worse. He therefore decided to as semble the separated peoples in festival worship of their common God. It was a wise and generous proposal inspired by a gracious spirit. Unfortunately this gesture toward unity met with ridicule. But there was a large enough group in favor of the plan to make possible its successful fulfillment. Indeed ‘‘there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast . . . a very great congregation.” Thus the passion for the larger view triumphed. May Prevent Weevil Damage To Cowpeas CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 1.— Weevil damage to cowpeas is largely preventable, says W. C. Net tles, extension entomologist, rec ommending the following four practices underlying successful control: y -First, harvest crop as soon as possible; second, treat seed to kill weevils; third, store where s^ds will not be reinfested by weeviLs spreading from infested seeds; fourth, prevent field infestation by feeding infested seed to animals before early summer. “The weevil which is often ob served crawling among cowpeas is the adult or parent insect”, Mr.' Nettles states in explaining its sev- j eral stages. “Many of the adults : fly from storage bins to fields I where peas are growing and lay; their eggs on the pea pods. From these minute white eggs develop the white grubs which burrow into tha seeds. “Often at harvest many small larvae are present, though out wardly the seeds are in excellent condition. The grub changes into| a pupa and later into an adult, which cuts out a circular hole with its sharp scissor-like jaws. With each successive generation pro duced in storage, the damage be comes cumulatively greater. “Carbon disulfide simply and ef fectively destroys the weevils pres ent at harvest, and will not injure the germination of the seeds. Since carbon disulfide is highly in flammable, it should be used with great caution. Air-tight contain ers or bins are necessary since the gas formed permeates into all por tions of the container from the top. One of the simplest containers is a 50-gallon barrel. Carbon disul fide should be placed at the top or poured directly on the seed to be dumigated. Three ounces is suf- Calling Champions HI •' -v,:; mm CHICAGO . . .

The lime will not kill the developing ’arvae, but is effective only against the adult. “Tight cloth sacks are very desir able for storing weevil-free cow peas, jute sacks being too open to be of value. “Farmers’ Bulletin 1275, ‘Weevils in Beans and Peas’, which may be obtained without cost from your congressman in Washington, D. C., gives full Information on the subject.” Card Of Thanks ty*f' We Wish to express our apprecia tion for the'kindness shown, us by relatives arid' friends^ in so many ways during the recent illness and death of our dear husband and father.

Long ;• , _> -A ADJUSTMENT OF SUPPLY TO DEMAND IS AIM OP REGU- ‘ * LATION' COLUMBIA, Sept. 1.—“Those who are advocating controlled • produc- tibh of agricultural commodities, especially cotton, are not unmind ful of the law of supply and de- mand, * i ’ ^?iid Dr. W. W. Long, di rector 6f the Extension Service of Clemspn .College,' speaking here be fore the Abitary club.. The, def jpite determination of the, production for a particular yegr is an effort to adjust the supply to the demand in such a relationship as to result in a fair price to pro ducers. There is no intention of trying to create a monopoly rela tive to cotton and forcing the price unduly above a fair level but simply to recoghizSi the function ing of the law of Supply and de mand in making prices and under taking to bring the‘ supply into proper relationship with the de mand to the end that producers may realize a fair price and one that is more uniform and certain. The prices of autbmobiles are much less variable than is the price of cotton. The fundamental reason is that the automobile manufacturer does not hesitate to reduce the output if the supply is more than the buying worldde mand) will take at a price the manufacturer thinks fair.

He knows that If he cannot sell cars at a lower price and stay in business neither can his competitors, or that if his competitors can sell the same value at a lower price they will eventually take his markets anyway. That is all production control means— automobiles, cotton, or whatever- adjusting the supply to the demand in such proportions as to result in a fair price to the producer. If we cannot receive a fair price and hold our foreign markets against foreign competition, then we shall eventually lose them anyway. “It is thought that controlled production will necessarily stabil ize prices and remove the possibil ity of the speculators and gamblers frpm utilizing cotton as a specula tive football regardless of the in terests of the producers. It will enable the farmer to organize more intelligently his farming opera tions and to give more thought and attention to making the farm self- sustaining as .well as improve the soil”, Dr. Long concluded. m 'It Pays To Smile” [ PAS WMi m* is II '■y : m ■sm.

OIL COMPANY TO EXPAND IN SOUTHERN STATES m zmm “We’re investing in the South because we believe in the South,” C. G. Swank, of Socony*Vacuum, tells Mayor Howard W. Jackson of Baltimore. Baltimore, Md.—A wide-spread pro gram of business expansion in the Sopth, to meet “greatly improved con ditions of industry and agriculture in this: region,” was announced here by the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, Inc. A new policy of direct sales by the company of its lubricating products in this territory has been instituted; divisional offices have been opened in Baltimore, and new warehousing and distribution facilities have been estab lished in key point in Maryland, Vir ginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina and the District of Columbia. v The entire program, calling for the expenditure of thousands of dollars in the Southeastern States, was insti tuted after an extensive survey by Socony-Vacuum, the world’s largest marketers of lubricating oils. This in vestigation revealed not only unusual ly sound conditions here, but a “vast potential market which is coming back faster than almost any other sec tion of the country,” it was stated by C. G. Swank, who has been appointed general manager of the Southeastern Division of the company. “For more than sixty years Socony- Vacuum products have been sold in this state,” Swank said. “For a part of this time they have been marketed through a single large distributor. “Today, increased busjncss and our belief in the future of this region, now makes a more direct service desirable. Therefore, effective at once, Socony- Vacuum institutes a policy of direct sales in this state of its industrial and marine lubricants, and direct or job ber sales of Mobiloil. We have insti tuted a definite plan of business progress to keep step with this rich territory which we will now directly serve.” Swank announced that the services of Socony-Vacuum’s engineering staff and laboratory research facilities, would now be available to local industry. Fred Callahan, who has been con nected with the sals of Socony- Vacuum products in Southern States for many years, has been appointed calesmanager of the Mobiloil division of the company here. atjfacB UUnbw I PAS m NEW YORK . . .

Crandall is today “just a farmer,” as he puts it, but not “just an ordinary farmer.” The difference is that he is making a hard effort to do things just a lit- i tie better than the average, ana most of the time he is succeeding. Over a period of years that means success. What the young fanner learned in his 4-H projects he is still ap plying in his farming, although he has been for himself since 1926. Crandall was junior com champion in Indiana for two years. In 1921 he won the title with a yield of corn of 142 bushels on an acre. The next year he harvested 148 bushels. This acre, of course, was a select piece of land and the crop had every care he could give it. He doesn’t grow such yields today un der field conditions, but he does get high yields. “Two very important things I learned in my club and school work about the production of live stock,” said the young farmer in giving his story to us. “One is the selection of livestock for the pur pose you expect to make of it. The ordinary farmer looks on a milk cow merely as such—all are about the same. But any 4-H club mem ber who has completed his experi ence in this subject knows there is world of difference. And ne knows what makes the difference.” He mentioned the same distinc tion in meat animals. “Some cat tle simply do not have it in them to mahe profitable use of grain aiMl forage. It only takes a few of them in a carlot to destroy your profits. Naturally, I select feed ing animals with this knowledge to guide me. One of the main items in grow ing good crops is in using proper seed—that is, sound seed and the right varieties, stated this young farmer. “I learned a lot about that in my club work,” he said. “I have learned a lot about it since, too, because’ one must be learning all the time on the farm if he is to" make It go.” 666 VS. MALARIA ; \ , * 666 Liquid or Tablets Checks Mal aria in Three Days. Sure Preventive!. Out Of Frying Pan Come Many Delicious Dishes Out of the frving-pan come many tempting dishes, but not aljf such dishes are fried, for a heavy skillet is a splendid utensil to use in cooking such meats as pork chops, which are really not fried, but braised. ' In braising, the meat is first browned in hot lard, then a small amount of moisture is added and the cooking continued at a Io\f temperature. The moisture added may be either water, meat or veger table stock, tomato juice, fruit: juice, sour cream, or dilute vfne r gar. The use of different liquids from time to time adds varifety tq> the meats prepared in this way. ' Use It for Broiling Also, a heavy skillet is an ideal utensil for top of stove broiling known, too, as pan-broiling. The skillet is heated sizzling hot, then the meat (any cut which is suita ble for broiling) is placed in it and allowed to brown thoroughly, on both sides. After the browning thd temperature is reduced and the: cooking continued at a temperature until the meat is done. As fat ac cumulates in the pan it is ppured off, so that the meat is broiled in stead of fried. : ; While the mixed grill is ordinari ly considered a combination pre pared in the broiling oven, it can be prepared with excellent results on, top of the.stove, using a.heavy frying-pan. The chops, sausages, or steak may be pan-broiled ai described above, and then removed to a hot platter while the potatoes (already partially cooked) ard browned. Below are given , recipes, for tempting dishes from the frying- pan. They are suggested by Inez S. Willson, home, economist. Spanish Fork Chops 6 pork chops, cut 1 inch thick, 1 can tomato soup, 1-2 cup water, 1 small onion, > 1 teaspoon chili poweier, Salt and pepper. Brown the pork chops on both sides in a hot skillet. Mix~bogether the other ingredients and when the chops are nicely browned, pour the mixture over them. Season with salt and pepper, cover tightly and' let simmer until the chops are done, about 45 minutes. Veal Steak in Sour Cteanr 2 pounds veal steak, cut 3-4 inch thick, 2 tablespoons lard, 1 egg, beaten, 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs or cracker crumbs, 1-2 cup thick sour cream, 1-2 pound fresh or canned mush rooms, Salt, Pepper. Cut the veal into individual por- ions. Season with salt and pep- oer, dip in beaten egg, then dredge n crumbs. In the meantime, heat he lard in a heavy skillet, and brown the pieces of meat well on -)oth sides. Add the cream, reduce he heat, cover tightly and allow to -rck slowly for twenty minutes. Ohon the mushrooms and add them to the meat, cover, and continue -•.ookinr: fer thirty minutes, or until ‘he veal is done. *• ’ rvr THINGS WORTH KNOWING The biggest bivalved mollUsks weigh as much as 500 pounds.
