Anderson s Department Store GREENWOOD, S. C. Troy News We have heard it said, “It takes kindness to make friends.” This was proven from every angle at the Edgefield Association, which met with Plum Branch Baptist Church last week. Surprises are in a way generally pleasant, and this came my way Friday morning of last week when a car rolled up to my gate, asking if I would like to take a ride to Plum Branch, saying the associa tion was in session there. I read ily accepted the thought of these wo kind sisters, Mrs. Dollie Mose- ly and Mrs. Ora Bell, of Winterseat, being joined here by two more kind fiends. Dr. and Mrs. Manly Tim mons and sons. All, soon found ourselves at the church, which was filled with the ministers, many the laymen, not a few—and the loved women so glad to meet one and all. The church was well filled, and with the hymns of inspiration be ing sung by those so many well trained voices filled the heart of this writer with “Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love/* For my heart is one filled with music, and the specials, by Mrs. Orr of McCormick and Miss Louise Bracknell of Plum Branch, which were sung by special request of this writer, were an inspiration to higher and better things. The devotional by Dr. Jamison of Connie Maxwell Orphanage, as is always, was one to listen to with interest, and the routine business which was a full calendar, filled with deep and abiding attention by all. The discussions so kindly and filled with much information was the order of the day. The Revs., the D. D.S, the P. H. D.s, the educators 'were there so many and had their several duties and reports well prepared, and as I sat and listened closely I thought there were some and a number of the servants of the Lord, working in “His Vineyard,” ready to go, ready to stay, and ready to do His will. I thought yes; said. The harvest is full of the reapers for the Master’s work. These, such as Dr. Brooks, Dr. Crane, Dr. Jamison, Revs. Pettigru, Sheffield, Thom ason, Gurley and many others whose names were just as valued and the words spoken by each one came like “somebody” is working in Christ’s cause. Everything was done so quietly and in such Christian service I felt like, amidst all the confusion and turmoils on the outside as well as much confusion in some churches today, that the church of The Liv ing God “will stand ’ till time shall end." When the noon hour came, and such a hospitable invitation was extended for everyone to stay for dinner. The wonder came where shall there be “bread and enough to spare” for such an audience, but as we came near the table the question came how shall all the folks eat so many varied and splendidly prepared dishes. The hash “excellent.” The salads, the meats, the pickles, the sandwiches and ice tea by the gallons, nor is this all, for I have never been to a meeting with such an abundance, and the tireless good men, boys, and young and elderly ladies with every wish gratified. I have often heard the expres sion, “The tables groaned ’neath the weight of good eats,” but truly this long stretch of snowy white tables “squealed" so loud, no need to say we all ate ’till could eat no more. I have never attended any meet ing so oongenial, so watchful, so eager to make the day one of profit as well as pleasure and this cer tainly came the way of this writer in meeting new friends, their cor dial hand shake, the glad to see you from our former Troy friends such as Mrs. Maude Lyon King, who is a strong spoke in the wheel of her church and town activities, and iust so many kind new ones that ‘h's writer felt are we in a better place of better people. The recreational period was one of real jcy to my heart with every G-’od shake. Tor to make special rrention of any one would include *’'e whole congregation. A real tw friend and one that was akin to me was to meet Mrs. Laura Bunch, one of Meriwether’s loved and amiable residents, as she sat *o lovably in her car, with the as sistance of her crutch to move from place to place. Her sweet each other who could share the most courtesy. This day will ever be fresh in the memory of this writer for so many kindnesses shown by every one, and the name of the good Plum Branch Baptist Church with her loved pas tor, the Rev. O. L. Orr, and his family, as well as our Troy pastor u.nd family with the Christian fel lowship that existed all through the day will be as one of the bright colors in the rainbow which colors our earth after a sunshine shower. These good folk every one of them will ever have a link in my chain of pleasant recollections wishing the Edgefield association just many more such occasions ii they meet with the good pastor, the Rev. O. L. Orr, and at Plum Branch. This brought to a close a cloud less day, a pleasant day, a day of information in church work which this writer is interested in. May their church grow greater and stronger in the work for the cause in which they are so deeply inter ested in, is our wish, with many thanks to friends for seeing me there and home so dear. Another pleasant day was had in the kind home of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Bowick and manly son, Hubert. The accepted invitation, with Mrs. T. A. Talbert, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Maggie Talbert, her daughter, Mrs. J. T. Edwards, and the hand some sons of Mrs. Talbert filled her car, and soon found all in the yards of these good folks, where seemed everything was in readiness with a smile^and pleasant con versation, and this was the theme all day long with the radio to in form and give added zest to the pleasant day. The surroundings of this nice new home seem filled with plenty. Mr. Bowick is a noted champion for the finest cream and butter as well as thousands of chickens which filled his place, while he and his good wife and son have the greatest quantities of canned fruits and vegetables ready for winter use. Every where seemed pros perity, and work. Mrs. Bowick, the loved home maker, no less so in her work which was proven by the furnishings, hand made, and such a neat housekeeper. When the call for dinner came “we" all wondered where so many nicely prepared dishes came from. Such a variety and the more we ate the nicer the “good eats” tast ed. We certainly enjoyed the splendidly prepared dinner, the Jolly conversation that prevailed all day and the ice cream in abund ance ’till good byes were said. Not any one but to say a day of glad ness came the way of each one. Their hospitality was one to be envied as they were lavish with same and so kind. They are the kind folk, the busy folk, the pros perous folk that make life worth while. Mr. Bowick is the popular tonsorial merchant in Troy, and all feel like this good family is a part of Troy. We enjoyed their kind ness as well as the friends who saw me there and home, for they are too some of the kind that gives this writer many kind words in this day of sorrow in my home. May Mr. and Mrs. Bowick and son, Hu bert, have alj to make their lives to the betterment of their home, their community, and their church, and I do appreciate this kindness and trust we can share my hospi tality some day soon. Other loved friends near there and McCormick, Mrs. Sudie Palmer Edmunds, and her brother, Mr. Calhoun Palmer, one who we can call a friend, and who serves his church, Buffalo, so well and so acceptably. This writer had oc- '.asion with other kind friends and ister cf the above to have a nice supper, always a feast in any of he above homes, Mrs. F. T. Young and they do know and do enter tain me with unstinted love and friendship. The nice, new bunga- ’ow of Calhoun’s is an ornament to ais community and he is a house keeper that is enviable. His home : s a beauty. We call the above mv friends” of the best and feel ve are safe in saying eo. He is a model housekeeper, a plendid young planter and one to “help somebody today,” which means more than “silver and gold.” We are constantly sharing their many kindnesses and always feel it is good to be with them. Friends are the salt of the earth, good friends like all whom we have writ ten today we call friends. Mr. Calhoun Palmer deserves more praise for his work and kindnesses face was radiant with smiles for he is doing and we do sincerely each and every one who passed her i hope his reward for the ways he way, for her life bespoke kindness has shown so many kind deeds will and Christian love. Along with her bear seeds of charity in years to were many we felt like calling the come. This was a week of “sun*- names of, but space forbids. Suffice shine" in my clouded' home, and it to say “all were with one accord God bless each one of them. In the same place,” vieing . withj A». MCC..

Use Of Rented Acres Improves Farm Practice “For a long time it has beem recognized that one-crop farming is dangerous”, says Cully A. Cobb, director of the AAA Division of Cotton, who points out that the' use of acres shifted from cotton' production under the adjustment orogram has been a powerful in fluence to better farm practices. “Areas which do not raise enough food and feed for their own use simply multiply their difficulties”, Mr. Cobb asserts. “Continuous cotton planting, without, at least, winter rotation, subjects the soil to exhaustion through erosion- and' depletion of plant food which re sults in fields having to be aban- ( doned. “In the cotton adjustment pro gram, the excess cotton acres have been rented, and farmers have' been encouraged to turn them to sound uses.” The replacement crops section of the AAA last summer made-a study- in five major cotton predui states—Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The study indicated that all but about one-fiftieth of the rented cotton acres in those states had been put to constructive use, large* y in producing food and ffced iOr home use on the farm* and'for soil improvement and erosion pre vention, including terracing and ;trip-cropping, it being contrary to the contract to produce crops for >ale on the contracted acreage. Estimates showed that adoute three-fourths of the rented cottt>n'| acreage was planted to home food and feed crops, about one*tentir ton new seedings of permanent pas tures and meadow crops? aboitk| one-eighth was used for soil-im*^ provement crops, for pasturing' livestock produced for the farnrj farmily, and to be turned’ und«*:| Next in importance was erosion P” vention, Involving in many] cr-es terracing and strip*croppiOK-| It is estimated that a very small [ v centage (about one-fiftieth) of] th-* rented acreage was idle land. In commenting on conditions inj the Cotton Belt since the adjust-] ment program began, Mr. Cobbj said “The south is doing the bestj job:of farming in its history.’.’'
