Luke 10:38-42. Golden Text: John 11:5. It is easy to misunderstand this appealing domestic scene chosen lor our lesson. For instance, we are tempted to be unjust to Mar tha. We are inclined to belittle her as a rather unworthy sort of woman. But she was nothing of ! She may very well have yearned to change places with Mary. We must beware of condemning Mar tha as an irreligious person inter ested only in practical efficiency. On the other hand, it is easy to i swing to the opposite extreme, and glorify Martha in a very one-sided fashion. Kipling, for example, wrote a characteristic poem, “The Sons of Martha,” in which he de picts Martha’s boys as the hard toilers of the world shouldering rough, rugged burdens in order that the idle sons of Mary may have a comfortable, easy time. The truth lies between these two the sort. Her work was necessary, and most diligently and faithfully extremes of updue censure and ex- performed. She must have been an ideal housekeeper. We can well imagine how clean was her lovely home when the Master ar rived for His visit, how delicious the food, how perfect the table ap pointments, how painstaking the travagant praise. Martha was a wholesome, well-balanced woman, sensible and attractive. But in this particular incident she was a bit distracted and fussy. Perhaps she Was tired. At any rate her irrita tion deserved the gentle rebuke of .service. There was nothing slov- ; Jesus, “Martha, Martha, Mary has «nly about Martha. She was a i chosen the best dish.” jmperb hostess. j What the Master meant is that Moreover, there is no reason to the things of the spirit must be believe that Martha was not a de vout woman, sensitive to religious influences, in love with her Lord. = 2 = given a central place in this adven ture we call life. Mary’s choice was the higher wisdom. Priz£ $10,000 4-H Club House zf first payments on more than a million 1935 v com-hog contracts. Total corn-hog payments under the 1935 contract will amount to about $186,000,000. First-payment checks now being distributed represent approximate ly two-fifths of the total corn payment and dne-half of the to- ,al hog payment due farmers par ticipating in this year’s adjust ment program. In the first install ment, the producer receives $7.50 of the total of $15 to be paid per head on the adjustment of 10 per :ent in hog production, and 15 :ents of the 35 cents to be paid per bushel on the production estimated for the acreage retired from com production. Every effort will be made to get :irst-payta I ent checks to farmers as early as possible, says Claude R. Wickard, chief of the Administra tion’s corn-hog section, but the rate of distribution will depend largely upon the rate at which contracts are transmitted to Wash- .ngton for final acceptance. Less than 200,000 contracts had arrived in Washington prior to August 1. The final installment does not become due until after January 1, 1936. -tXt Drivers To Pass iNew State Test iTT * n 25t] I BILIOUSNESS J CHICAGO ...

One has to know all the answers —or at least one has to know fif teen of them—to get an automo bile driver’s license in South Caro lina now. The state highway department has thought up a list of 25 brain twisters, and if you miss more than ten of them you can’t have a license. The list was announced recently in Greenville by W. P. Tiedeman, state highway depart ment inspector, stationed there. According to Tiedeman’s an nouncement, persons applying for licenses must pass this written ex amination in addition to a dem onstration of driving ability. For merly there were only 12 questions to answer, and the quiz was given orally. Following is the list of questions: When a car is overtaken by an other car from behind, the driver of the car being overtaken should .

Plants will then han last year’s, having risen from be stock y and the roots wel1 sh *P- 11,482,000 acres to 13,198,000 acres. ed - That is a 14 per cent increase. Dur- , Remember that consecutive ing the same time soybean acre- P lan ting every 15 or 20 days keeps age went up 1,200,000 acres, from 1,223,000 to 5,463,000, an increase of over 29 per cent. Lespedeza has increased greatly in acreage as evidenced by the volume of seed sold to growers. “The increase in legume acreage is of particiular significance tc American agriculture”, Mr. Cox continues, “because of the remark able ability of these crops to con serve and build up soil fertility. Nearly all the land grant colleges and state extension Services have for years advocated increased acre age cf legumes. When the ad justment program became a major extension project, the increase in legume acreage was greatly ex pedited. This improvement in farm management practice, which conserves and builds up our soil fertility, insures that the American public will have continued and potentially increased supplies of meat, milk, vegetables, cotton and other food and fiber products, in proportion to needs.” A preliminary estimate shows Lhat well ever a third of all rented or contracted acres this year were planted to crops that improve and conserve the soil. In the South cotton and tobacco acreage has been widely used for food and feed crops for home use. It is esti mated that less than 15 per cent of the total contracted or retired land was idle or fallow; and that of the 15 per cent the larger part was fallowed for definite purposes of moisture conservation and weed eradication. Good Gardening In Late Summer CLEMSON, Aug. 3.—Like animals, slants must be fed continuously, if good results are to be obtained, and ’ate garden crops cannot feed on fertility that has been used up earlier in the season, says A. E. Schillotter, extension horticulturist, discussing good garden practices lor late summer. Well decomposed stable manure applied between the rows in August and September will make a won derful difference in the late growth of plants, and where this is not available or is not convenient to use, a side dressing of some quick ly available form of nitrogen should ’re used, he advises. Suggestions to gardeners for Au gust attention include the follow ing: Fall tomatoes usually bring a rood price on the local market. If di the fruit fails to ripen before frost, it can be kept far into the vinler wrapped in paper ar.d lain '♦way in a cool, dark place. Plants ;et now will mature fruit before rost. Use strong stocky plants md retain all the soil possible on he roots. Set deeply and pour a nnt of water around roots and cov- n with thick layer of dry soil. One thing should be 'itiended to promptly in growing rutabagas and to the university, Registrar Chas that is to thin them to a stand that v/omen were admitted V all classes. Only women stuaeni [of junior and senior rank are allow ed to room in the woman’s dormi tory, but the University has an ap proved list of rooming houses ad jacent to the campus sufficient to care for all women of freshman and sophomore rank, Mr. Chase said. Four-H club boys and girls in meat animal projects in McCor mick county again are eligible to compete for the splendid county, state, sectional and national awards given in the sixth annual meat animal contest sponsored by Thomas E. Wilson, Chicago meat packer and chairman of the Na tional Committee on Boys and Girls Club Work. These prizes supplement hand somely those offered in the year’s livestock exhibitions for 4-H ani mals and are an extra incentive to club members to complete their projects in the best possible man ner. County winners, who are to be chosen by extension agents, re ceive a beautiful embossed gold medal, while state champions win a 17-jewel gold watch on which their name is engraved. Four sec tional winners each receive a trip with all expenses to the forth coming National Club Congress to be held in connection with the International Live Stock Exposi tion the first week in December. Three cash college scholarships of $300, $200 and $100 go to national winners. Contestants are requir ed to fill out forms available from the county agent. Three $300 cash scholarships al so are provided by Mr. Wilson for livestock club members showing in the 4-H International Show in con nection with their meat animal projects.
