Effectual Prayer.
Lesson for May 10th.
Luke 18:1-14.
Golden Text: Luke 18:13.
Note the startling contrast pre
sented by the parable of the Phari
see and the publican. We picture
the Pharisee, a man of wealth and
power, a pillar of the church, high
ly respected in the community.
We see him in his seat in the syna
gogue, well dressed, a pattern of agent’s office to be mailed out to
An effort is being made to ob
tain a tractor and machinery to
do terracing work in McCormick
County. E. C. Turner, Jr., Terrac
ing Specialist from Clemson Col
lege, met with a group of farmers
at the acting county agent’s of
fice and discussed the possibilities
and outlook of establishing ter
racing work with our farmers.
The cost per operative hour for
the tractor will be approximately
two dollars and seventy-five cents.
However, the probably cost per
acre for terracing in this area
will range from $1.85 to $2.25 per
acre. In view of this fact, some
farms may be so arranged that
terracing, as a soil building prac
tice, will earn a considerable part
ef the soil building payment.
Every one interested in having
seme of their land terraced in this
way, talk with their neighbors
and see if they are not interested
also. The feasibility of this plan
depends upon the acreage to be
terraced. A questionnaire is being
prepared in the acting county
politeness and good taste. But on
the other side of the meeting-house
there sits a poor outcast, shabbily
dressed, his features marked by
sin and shame. And yet Jesus tells
us that this publican went home
with a blessing denied to the rich
and influential Pharisee.
What a reversal of judgment!
“Many that are first,” said Jesus,
“shall be last, and the last shall
be first.” One is reminded of the
fable of the race between the hare
and the tortoise, won by the lat
ter, for the tortoise, though far
slower, had more persistence and
integrity of character.
And so the Pharisee, despite his
worldly advantages and success, was
really a failure. Consider his pride.
He trusted greatly in himself. His
prestige had made hipi arrogant.
Nothing damns like success, and
the Pharisee was eminently suc
cessful.
There are many who, like this
complacent Pharisee, are quite con
tent with themselves. Such folks
have little real religion. Their faith,
suen as it is, is a superficial con
formity to convention. How far
they are from God’s Realm! The
publican, on the other hand, was
genuine in his eagerness to reform
and start afresh. His humility was
his saving grace.
Note, too, the contempt of this
Pharisee. He was a first class snob
who judges a man not by the merit
«f his character, but by his wealth
and social status. How flatly this
spirit contradicts the purpose of
Jesus and the content of his mes-
f.age! For our Lord came to this
world to drive contempt out, and
to put love in its place. Unless we
learn this lesson soon our sick
world will tumble into the abyss
of irremediable disaster.
ail farmers interested in this work
in the county. During the mean
time each farmer should come to
some definite conclusion in his
own mind as to how many acres
he wishes to terrace at a certain
time of year. In this way a definite
acreage can be established. Then
it can be determined whether it
is ad visible to continue plans on
this project.

Acting County Agent.
Treating Cotton Seed
With Mercury Dust
Promising Practice
Farm Guide For May
Clemson, May 2.—To guide busy
faripers in essential farm activi
ties in May, extension specialists
make these suggestions:
Agronomy
Do not ruin a good stand of cot
ton by chopping it all out. Leave
two or three stalks every 8 to 12
inches.
For a profitable investment make
a side application of nitrogen to
cotton soon after chopfJing.
Plan to put all grain stubble
land into soybeans, cowpeas, or
velvet beans for soil-conserving and
soil-building crops.
Horticulture
Sow tomatoes for July trans-
pU.nting.
Sow cabbage and collard about
May 15 for August transplanting.
Mulch tomatoes heavily with
straw or leaves to hold moisture
and prolong fruiting.
Do not cultivate beans while the
foliage is wet.
Apply nitrate of soda to garden
crops if not growing well.
Do not cut young asparagus too
closely; fertilize and manure the
bed after cutting season.
Agricultural Engineering
Sharpen harrow disks for cutting
in cover crops.
Use weeder, spike-tooth harrow,
or rotary hoe to break crusts formed
over young seedlings.
Equip ithe two-horse cultivator
with disk hillers or small sweeps
for early cultivations.
Keep working parts of machines
greased or oiled as this is cheaper

CHAMPIONS
who have
NEVER KNOWN DEFEAT
Rock and Tom, owned by the Statler Farms Co., Piqua, Ohio. Driver, Russell
Sando. Their present record—3900 lbs. tractive pull, which is equivalent to
pulling 9 plows cutting furrows 14 inches wide and 6 inches deep.
W HAT A RECORD! Never have these mighty champions been
beaten. They’ve out-pulled every team they’ve ever met.
These magnificent Belgians are Nature at her best. They are
animals to which Nature has given the vital spark—that necessary,
natural balance of all the elements of which champions are made.
Natural balance is everything! It’s the difference between this
team of powerful champions and common, ordinary plugs. It’s the
difference between the best and the rest in almost everything.
And here’s another example of Nature at her best—Natural
Chilean Nitrate. This nitrogen fertiliser is favored by Nature with
the champion’s vital spark—the natural balance of the -lements
that make a champion. Into Chilean Nitrate Nature blended the
vital impurities—the combination of many major and minor ele
ments over and beyond nitrogen. Through countless centuries.
Nature has aged and matured this nitrogen fertilizer in the ground,
that you may return it to your ground as the safe, sure, balanced
food for your crops.
Natural Chilean contains almost two score of major
and minor elements such as boron, magnesium, man
ganese, iodine, calcium, potassium, etc—each a vital
element in growth and healthy development of plants.

ing cold wet weather, makes the
cotton grow off faster, and in
creases yields.
The most striking results yet
secured in the state were apparent
cn April 16 near St. George. Treat
ed and untreated seed were plant
ed during the last week in March
.and encountered several weeks of
cold rainy weather. When examin
ed on April 16 treated seed had
produced a good stand of cotton,
whereas untreated seed had large
ly decayed and only occasionally
a stalk was visible.
While it is yet too soon to make
predictions, it now appears that
dust treatment of cotton seed may
become established as a profitable
cotton production practice in South
Carolina. On such demonstrations
as are being conducted this season,
farmers may observe results and
govern their future practices ac
cordingly. •
