Sunday School Lesson
BT REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
John's Picture of the Trial and
Crucifixion.
Lesson for March 21st.
John 19:4-9.
Golden Text: 1 John 3:16.
Our lesson is to be taught on
Palm Sunday. We recall that Jesus
entered Jerusalem to be crucified.
Now it is obvious that to many
people the crucifixion is utterly un
real. For one thing, multitudes try
to banish all experience or thought
of pain completely from their lives.
They live so far removed from the
naked realities of life that the pic
ture of an agonized Saviour spiked,
in helpless torture, seems utterly
alien to their experience.
Then, too, there are many who
cherish an easy optimism. The
sense of sin has pretty well faded
from their hearts. God to them is
an indulgent grandfather who is
not censorious when His children
liave their fling. To all such the
Cross seems quite unnecessary.
But the attempt to push the cru
cifixion and its significance into a
distant background is not very suc
cessful. Grevious trouble has a way
of entering urdieralded into the
well-protected havens of men. I re
call very vividly the Titantic dis
aster. A magnificent floating pal
ace, on her maiden voyage,*, the
largest ship in the world at that
time, she was the pride of the sea.
But it did not take long for her to
sink, on that April Sunday night
25 years ago, after the ice-berg had
done its damage! And over 1500
persons perished with her!
The truth is that we cannot shut
trouble out, try as hard as we may.
“Man is born unto trouble, as the
sparks fly upward.” This sober fact
makes the Cross eternally signifi
cant.
Liszt, the great musician, once
spoke of the “madness and the ex
ultation cf the Cross.” We feel this
on Palm Sunday. We are impressed
anew with the collective insanity
of man. At. the same time we feel
an unmistakable note of triumph.
Here is a matchless Master so
brave, so resolute, that he does not
shrink from the awful ordeal of
the crucifixion.

Proper Use Of Land
Aids Weevil Control
Clemson, March 13. — Rapid
strides in cotton boll weevil control
by proper land use have been made
by South Carolina farmers since
the early 1920 , s, says W. C. Nettles,
extension entomologist, who warns
against a backward trend which
is unsound and dangerous.
“Certain low lying land in the
Coastal Plains and certain soil
types in the Piedmont were largely
retired from cotton production be
cause of excessive weevil damage”,
Nettles explains. “Weevil losses
naturally stopped on these heavily
infested lands when diversification
was practiced. Such areas had serv
ed also to build up large weevil
populations which invaded desir
able cotton lands, and taking these
areas cut of cotton doubtless has
been one of several factors respon-
jsib'.e for reduced weevil losses dur
ing -he present decade.
“Present progress in general di-
wcrs’fication including animal and
grain farm in; has resulted”, he
states, “in widespread practice of
proper land use under weevil con
ditions.
“With low weevil losses of recent
years and the present price of cot
ton there is a growing inclination
to plant these lands to cotton
again. As planting time is near it
seems advisable to call attention
to this trend, which is unsound,
as progress already made in di
versification may be endangered
and increased weevil population
will doubtless result.”
Farm INews
Bright Spots
Allendale, March 13.—W. C. Bry
an of Fairfax has 30 calves which
he is feeding for the Augusta Fat
Stock Show. These calves are from
a herd of grade Herefords which
he has developed. A feeding record
has been kept in cooperation with
County Agent W. H. Pressly on
these calves since Jan. 7 when they
averaged 480 pounds. On Feb. 7
they had gained an average of 53
pounds each. Mr. Bryan is feeding
a home-grown mixture of com,
oats, velvet beans, and cottonseed
meal.
Bamberg, March 13. — W. H.
Craven, county farm agent, reports
that since Jan. 1, 1937, the sales
of hogs in the county amounted to
661,656 pounds with a value of $53,-
233.15. This includes the coopera
tive carlot shipments and also the
sales from the two auction markets
now established in the county.
These figures include hogs from
several adjoining counties inas
much as farmers v/ithin a reason
able distance have been selling
hogs through the auction markets.
The prices paid by the auction
markets have usually been in keep
ing with prices received from the
cooperative shipments.
Barnwell, March 13.—Never be
fore has there been as much in
terest in the intelligent use of fer
tilizer as well as good seed especial
ly cotton, according to H. G. Boyl-
ston, county farm agent. At fer
tilizer meetings farmers entered in
to the discussion as to fertilizers,
home-mixing, use of lime, potash,
and other plant food elements, as
well as the use of better seed.
Another prize was won by a Barn
well county farmer in the state
cotton contest, and already many
new farmers are reported planning
to enter the contest for 1937.
Florence, March 13.—Thirty-two
bushels of Louisiana Porto Rico
potatoes were obtained from Ralph
Bell of Lee county and placed with
nine Florence county farmers, re
ports B. D. 'Cloaninger*. assistant
county ’>t. One artifical potato
hotbed has been completed and the
potatoes bedded while two others
will be completed shortly. “Being
fully aware that only vine-produc
ed potatoes give the proper size,
shape, color, and keep well in stor
age, each farmer is trying to get
out sprouts early for vines later”,
says Cloaninger.
Walhalla, Mar. 13.—The Oconee
Livestock Breeders Association was
organized in February, the mem
ber farmers subscribed over $590
borrowed $500 more, and purchased
from Tennessee one of the best
bred mammoth jacks in this sec
tion. Farmers are showing unusual
interest in raising mule colts and
it now appears that an additional
jack is needed, says G. H. Griffin,
county farm agent. The survey
made before the organization
meeting indicated that there are
in the county over 100 brood mares
from which farmers desired to
raise colts.

Special Picture
For Farmers At
Hollywood Theatre
Last Saturday Was
Well Attended
The story of the origin, mining
and processing of the ore from,
which Chilean Nitrate is obtained'
was graphically portrayed in “NaJ
ture’s Magic”, an educational film
which was shown in the Hollvwood
Theatre, McCormick, S. C., Satur
day, March 13, 1937, at 11:00 A. M.
by the Chilean Nirtate Edupation-
al Bureau of Columbia to a good-
sized audience including farmers,
fertilizer dealers, and agricultural
workers.
The film featured “Uncle Natchel
and Sonny”, the radio characters,
and a fertilizer dealer. The effect
of Chilean nitrate on field crops
was illustrated.
A New Jersey experiment station
film featuring studies made at that
sation to determine the influence
of minor plant food elements on
the development and growth of
plants was also shown.
The audience appeared to be
deeply interested in the growth and
unfolding of the plants as shown
on the screen, including cotton,
tobacco, tomato and other crops.
