Message from Genesis.
Lesson for June 27th.
Hebrews 11:1-22.
Golden Text: Hebrews 11:13.
Genesis is a Greek word meaning
“beginning.” While much of the
book is obviously lacking in the
high inspiration of the psalms and
the gospels it is nevertheless of
first-rate importance both because
of the light it sheds upon man’s
primitive quest for God, and the
great fundamental truths of the
-moral and religious life it pro
claims.
What are these truths? First o
all, Genesis insists that God is one,
that He is a Spirit of perfect holi
ness, the Source of all being, the
Supreme Lord of creation. This
sublime conception is magnificent
ly heralded in the opening chapter
that majestic poem of creation,
"where we are told that “God sav;
every thing that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good.”
Secondly, Genesis makes it
abundantly clear that God does not
tolerate disobedience, but punishes
the sinner, whilp at the same time
^rewarding all who loyally serve
Him. With remarkable candor the
book unfolds the misery and woe
visited upon wrongdoers. But with
equal honesty it narrates the good
fortune won by those whose lives
have been inspired by fidelity to
the divine will. Its characters seem
a bit shadowy at times for a cer
tain amount of legendary lore is
woven into the narrative. But they
are real men and women just the
same. And God is a very real Being
working out His purposes in the
unfolding of the careers of the
patriarchs. He is the God of Abra
ham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of
their individual peculiarities and
-destinies. But He is the God of the
nation, too, moulding a mighty
people to be the chosen instrument

Chuhattee looks much like a pan
cake. It is broken in the fingers and
dunked in warm gravy. One of the
members of the party asked our
host, M. H. H. Joachim, about it.
He explained it was made of lay
ers of flour. In India, it also has
a historical significance. At the time
of the Indian uprising in 1857, the
natives could not communicate with
one another because of the perfec
tion of the British espionage system.
But under the law, the British can
not touch the food of an Indian sol
dier. So the time set for the rebel
lion was hidden between layers of
chuhattee and the uprising occurred
on schedule. Much more about In

Thousands of Chevrolet users will tell you that the best
answer to your transportation needs is—Chevrolet trucks!
Chevrolet trucks have the greatest pulling power in
their price range . . . because they have a New High-
Compression Valve-in-Head Engine which wrings the
last ounce of power out of every gallon of fuel.
Chevrolet trucks are the most economical for all

mileage, and will keep on serving over a long period with
minimum care and attention.
And Chevrolet trucks are safer, more modem, more'

Naturally, we asked Mr. Joachim
about Gandhi, who lately has dis

answer was strange indeed coming
from a high caste Hindu. In his

The County court has rejected
hundreds of applications to mine

had refused mining rights, and the
city council had vigorously protest

called attention to the fact that Gan

Becoming serious again, he declared
that even the most submerged In

many an American. It is the In

Clemson, June 21.—Poultry flocks
©n 72 farms reporting their May
demonstration summaries before
June 15 represented 10,608 hens
*&tth an average egg production of
16.6 eggs each. According to detail
records compiled by P. H. Gooding,
extension poultryman, these hens
returned an average total income
©f 47 cents per hen, including sale
ci eggs and poultry. The hens ate
23 cents worth of feed each, thus
leaving an income above feed cost
©f 18 cents per bird for the month,
deducting from this the average
monthly charge of 3.5 cents per hen
for interest on investment, depre
ciation of equipment, and all other
costs except feed, it is found that
the labor income for the month
was 14.5 cents per hen.
Highest egg production for the
month in flocks with less than 50
hens was made by 23 Rhode Island
Reds belonging to Miss Fannie P.
Long, Estill, which produced an
average bf 19 eggs each.
Mrs. Clyde S. Davis of Neeses re
ceived the highest egg production
in the group of flocks from 51 to
200 hens. Her 51 Barred Rocks and
White Leghorns laid 23 eggs per
ben.
W. K. Maddox of Belton made
the highest egg production in
flocks composed of 201 to 500 hens
receiving 22 eggs each from his 215

Clemson, June 21.—Reports from
county farm agents for the week
ending June 19 continue to show
;hat the boll weevil is unusually
abundant this year in the coastal
and lower Piedmont sections of the
state. In the upper Piedmont sec-
;ion weevil infestations are rather
sparce and spotted, though a few
ields are heavily infested.
By the end of this week most of;
the cotton in the state will have
become too large for most effective
use of the early poison, says W. C. j
Nettles, extension entomologist. |
Therefore, this will be the last I
week during the present season in j
which early application of the i
1-1-1 mixture will be generally ad
vised.
Mr. Nettles points out that actual
counts made in poisoned and un
poisoned fields of the coastal sec
tion show an appreciable benefit
in the reduction of punctured
;quares by the application of a
1-1-1 mixture. On 24 farms where
che cotton had been poisoned the
infestation count averaged 6.1 per
cent, and on 24 adjoining farms
where the cotton had not been
poisoned the infestation count
averaged 19.6 per cent.

Ear Worm Damage To
Late Planted Com
Clemson, June 19.—Severe com
ear worm or shatter worm damage
to the buds of late planted corn
may frequently be expected, warns
W. C. Nettles, extension entomolo
gist, pointing out the danger and
suggesting measures to prevent
serious losses therefrom.
“Late planted corn in South Car
olina”, Mr. Nettles continues,
“frequently fails on account of se
rious ear worm damage. This has
been especially noticeable since
controlled crop production has re
sulted in a large amount of corn
being planted after small grain.
Farmers planting their main crop
of corn early have largely avoided
this type of damage.”
For small, late, roasting ear
patches Mr. Nettles reports that
promising results have been se
cured by providing adequate fer
tilizer to insure vigorous and rapid
growth on a productive soil with
• quick maturing variety, and also
jy using an arsenical poison in the
Clemson, June 12.—The source cf
nitrogen having become a very im-
nertant problem in fertilizer prac
tices, the South Carolina Experi
ment Station has for 10 years been
studying the response in yields of
cotton from various sources of
nitrogen fertilizer. The results may
be indicated briefly in a statement
by Dr. W. R. Paden, associate
agronomist, who is in immediate
c l-,a»-cre of the studies.
“On the unlimed plots”, says
Dr. Paden, “the highest yield was
secured from calcium nitrate and
on the limed plots from cottonseed
meal. Where the single sources of
nitrogen were used, there was a
difference of 346 pounds between
the highest and lowest yields on
the unlimed plots for the eight-
year period; whereas for the same
period on the limed plots the dif
ference between the highest and
lowest yields was 348 pounds. These
data show very clearly that no
marked difference in the yields
would be expected from the use
of various sources of nitrogen on
limed soil which has a desirable
reaction. Where the question of
soil acidity is taken care of, one
might expect approximately the
same yield from the various sources
of nitrogen.”
These and other important re
sults, together with facts and
figures on the details of the ex
periments which were begun in
1927, are to be found in Bulletin
309, entitled Responses from Va
rious Sources of Nitrogen, prepared
by Dr. Paden and Published by the
South Carolina Experiment Sta
tion.
Copies of Bulletin 309 may be

agents or from the Publications
Department at Clemson College.

remembers vaguely the disappear
ance of his mother and his life in a
German concentration camp for for
eign children. From there he was
transferred to Switzerland. He could
remember his last name but not
his first, so people called him Louis.
When he grew up, he became a
sub-officer in a Swiss infantry regi
ment. The mystery of his true iden
tity haunted him and he decided to
return to France. He was arrested,
for French authorities said that if
he considered himself French he
had no right to escape military serv
ice. He was court martialed and
acquitted of desertion and then
called into service. *
After a lengthy investigation he
finally got in touch with the French
consul at Liverpool, who was able to
send him his birth certificate and
clear up the mystery of his identity.
He was christened Maurice Men

and Berthe Menard. They lived in
Spofforth, England, until 1914, when
they crossed to France that his fath

which was captured by the Ger
mans and upon her death he was
placed in the children’s camp.

ing, it may be stated that while the
name Joachim may not mean much
to the general public, it is different
with “Your Unseen Friend.” Yes,
M. H. H. Joachim is that Sunday
afternoon radio speaker, whose pro
gram starts with soft music and
who discusses life problems. In his
possession are more than a half
million letters, most of them vital
human documents.
* * *
Not infrequently a paragraph un
der “Public Notices” intrigues my
interest and excites my fancy. For
instance, this one, which recently
ran several days: “Tumbledown
house on hilltop for sale in Litchfield
Hills, Connecticut. Two miles from
town. No babbling brook. Extensive
grounds for pushing lawn mower.
Bad golf, fishing, shooting, etc.
Twelve acres enclosed by horse
fence adjoining hunt club. Dump
near house with skunks, rabbits and
field mice rattling around. Approx
imately 30 apple trees. Oil burner.
Domestic problems terrible. Price
$29,000.” And yet I continue t o
dream about a little place some
where far from the madding crowd.

Again, I’ve learned something
about cash customers. It seems that
a number of them carry “discount
cards.” These cards are issued to
employees of various concerns or,
in some instances, sent out to mail
ing lists. They entitle the holder to
a third off, the holder being cau
tioned not to show the discount card
in the preserve of other customers.
Then there are places which carry
only very small stocks but which
obtain any article desired, from a
radio to a washing machine, at a
discount of from 25 to 30 per cent.
And of course there are always
those friends who remark, “I can
get it for you wholesale.”

school when 13.
He entered the building con

telephone number 13 for 13 years.
He started building a home for

completed it October 13. And he
has a sister aged 94, which digits
total 13.
Plain Old Locomotives
Gloried in Fancy Names
Milwaukee.—Railroad locomotives
back in grandfather’s time may
not have been as pleasing to the eye
as the modern streamliners but
their names were just as fancy. A
framed sheet dated 1869, which
hangs in the Northwestern railroad
station here, lists the names of 268
wood-burning locomotives.
At first the railroad officials ap
parently had little trouble in nam
ing their engines, but as the road
expanded names grew scarcer and
they were forced to dig into myth
ology for such names as Achilles,
Mars, Mercury and Cyclops.
The first locomotives listed had
comparatively simple names such
as Pioneer, Union, Active and Res
cue. But by the time the road had
more than 200 engines they were
known as the Maquokeeta, the Pe-
catonia and the Keweena.
Crocheting Job Uses
57 Miles of Thread
Quincy, Mass.—Mrs. Margaret
Glass figured she used nearly 57
miles of thread to crochet two
bedspreads, set of curtains,
chair sets, bureau scarfs and a
tablecloth.
Mrs. Glass says the bedspread
alone took 22,000 yards of thread
and 2,500 “pop-corn” knots. The
complete bedroom set took her 15
months to make.
