Golden Text: Ruth 1:16. A few years ago a young lady in Kansas City sent an unusual cable to the youthful minister of a Bap tist Church in South Africa. It read “Ruth 1:16,” and the minister knew at once that his sweetheart was saying she would marry him. For this verse, which is our Golden Text, contains these words of af fectionate entreaty, “Do not press me to leave you; for wherever you go, I will go; and wherever you lodge, I will lodge,” And how did the happy minister of good lands at reasonable prices may also be taken into considera- ion in apportioning the funds provided.

Reviewing the accomplishments if the first year’s . undertakings 'fiscal year, ended June 30, 1938), director Kolb said, “123 families in 16 counties of this State were loaned a total of $405,949.21 to finance land costs and to provide •epairs or replacements of dwell- ngs and other farm buildings so that new ownership ventures would provide adequate buildings as well as good land. Farms pur chased averaged in size 112.98 acres at a cost per acre of approx imately $i:3.67. Repairs, improve ments. fees incidental to transfer of lands, etc., averaged $630.52 per farm. Average loan per family was $3300. Annual payment re- luirements, including interest, will approximate $142.79. In most cases these annual payments are less than usual rentals for farms with good land and good build- ngs.” “This Federal aid program,,” continue^/Mr. Kolb, “is purposed to render assistance to the pur chaser in acquiring land with ade quate farm buildings. All services of the rehabilitation program of the FSA are made available to these families as may be required to provide the start necessary leading to abundant living and respond?

We recall her devoted love for Naomi, her aged mother- in-law; her cheerful diligence, in the strange new home at Bethle hem; her modesty; the universal approval she inspired; her most fbrtunate union with the large- hearted Boaz; and the birth of her son whom she placed in the willing arms of Naomi. And then we remember that she, though a foreigner, was the great-grand mother of David, and hence an ancestress of Jesus. Perhaps Ruth’s outstanding characteristic was friendship, that golden bond of affection called by one writer “the Master Passion.” Drpah, we are told, “kissed” Na omi, while Ruth “clung” to her. Columbia, S. C., July 30.—Eigh ty-four first-year students at the University of South Carolina at tained the freshman honor roll for the 1937-38 session. Thirty women and 54 men made an average of “B” (85 per cent and better), which is necessary to attain the freshman honor list. W. Flinn Gilland, assistant regis trar, announced the honor roll today.

Ford Opens Soy Bean Demonstration Plant Saline, Mich., Aug., 1.—Center of interest for farmers within a ra dius of 200 miles, Henry Ford's demonstration soy bean factory fronting the Detroit-Chicago turn-pike a half-mile west of this charming Michigan town, has just begun operations. The factory group comprises two buildings. One is the historic where the solvent passes off as \rapor and the oil remains. The solvent is used over and over a- gain. The oil is used in the manu facture of car finishes and in binding foundry cores. The meal, from which the oil has been extracted, is carried off from the top of the mill and is bagged for use in manufacture of At the same time, greater at tention can be given to the devel opment of technical skills among the young, so that their oppor tunity for well-paid employment will be broadened.

Our population will remain fixed at about 158 millions. Those are conclusions reached by the Committee on Population of the National Resource Com mittee in a recent report to the President. They came to that conclusion by studying the statis tics of deaths and births over Schuyler grist mill which has many years past. The time is Tenant Purchase Program Adds 21 Comities In S. C. Columbia, Aug. 3.—Tenants, sharecroppers, and farm laborers who desire federal aid to buy good family-sized farms, and who ran oualify under the provisions ef the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, will be aided this year in 37 South Carolina counties, ac cording to R. F. Kolb, State Farm journalism and pharmacy.

This allotment for the current fiscal year’s program xeprecents an increase of 150% over the funds provided last year. The new funds will enable more loans to be made in the counties designated last year and will also provide for inauguration of the program in the newly designated counties. Counties are designated by the Secretary of Agriculture bailed upon recommendation of the State FSA advisory committee. In submitting recommendations, this committee considers farm population, prevalency of tenancy umbia; Thomas Sanders McMillan, Jr., Washington, D.

Power is supplied by a hydroelectric plant fed by water brought by millrace from a dam built across the Saline river along the right-of-way of the Detroit-Chicago highway. More than 700 farmers within a 200-mile radius of the Saline plant are now growing soy beans on 22,588 acres from seed furnish ed by the Ford Company. In ad dition, the Ford Company has 15,624 more acres seeded under contract. The total yield of soy beans for the season is expected to be 312,480 bushels, at the rate it 20 bushels per acre. Under the arrangement between the Ford Company and the farm ers to whom seed was advanced, the farmers will return the seed from the new crop at the end of the season. They are then at lib erty to sell the balance of their crop to Ford at the market, or dispose of it to other buyers. Most of the crop, however, is expected to be delivered to the Saline plant. The cleaning and flaking plant at Saline, together with those at Tecumseh and Hay den Mills have a capacity of 300,- 000 bushels a year and are ex pected to be kept busy through the 12 months. The extraction plant in the rear of the grist mill here has a capac ity of 140,000 bushels a year. A similar amount will be processed CHANGES mode at a new plant now under con- The shift in the balance be “rapidly approaching when the number of persons who die each year will just about equal the number of babies born, and the population figures will thus re main stationary. Already there are about one and a half times as many persons over 20 years old than there are under that age. The average American is growing older. LIFE increase • One reason for the increase ir the average age is that more of the babies born live to grow up Another reason is that grown-ups live longer than they used to. A few hundred years ago the average “expectation of life” for new-born babies was less than twenty years Now it is nearer forty. And the man or woman who lives to fort can reasonably expect, barrin? accidents, to live to sixty or older Less than 100 years ago men oi 30 were regarded as middle-aged - at 50 they were almost senile Grandmothers of 45 were consid ered to have passed their earthly usefulness. The average age of Americans, babies and graybeards, is now more than thirty years; it was 23 years twenty years ago. By 1980, the committee figures there will be about exactly the same number of people of everj age from one to 60, and a mucl' higher proportion over 60. Even today it takes fewer than 10 per cent of the population to raise all> the food they and the other 90 per cent of us consume, and that proportion will become smaller by 1980. The cities of 1980 will be more numerous and smaller, with more trees and open spaces than in the great cities of today. Life will be pleasanter for everybody—and that, after all, is the objective cf all honest efforts at social prog ress. -xx- struction at Milan, Mich.

Soy beans brought to the plant are delivered at the rear. There trucks dump their loads into a hopper, from which the beans are hoisted by conveyor to cleaning equipment on the second floor and whence to storage bins on the up- jer floors. As t.ie beans are required fo. tween old and young people wil result in many changes of ways o living and looking at life. Two thirds and more of the peoplr living at any one time will hav< passed the adolescent age and wil have mature tastes and habits and a more mature outlook on the world around them. Those considerations will affect business and industry. There will be a decline in the baby-carriage trade, for example, and an in creasing demand for easy-chairs. There will be fewer children in the schools but a larger propor tion of them will probably go to high schools and colleges. This will reduce the number of teachers, but that should be compensated Turnip Greens Vs. CoUards Montgomery Advertiser. Collard greens, as far as we know, have never inspired a poet. About the highest tribute that can be paid the collard is that it has been at times the final bar rier between thousands of South erners and starvation. ' R. L. Keener, associate professor of horticulture at the University of Georgia, sees other virtues in this vegetable. Writing in Georgia Vegetable Growers’ association’s booklet, he says: Research has shown that the collard contains more food values, such as protein, fats, and carbo- hydrates than do similarly used vegetables, such as cabbage^ tur nip greens and spinach. Hie collard has food value rating per pound of 225, as against 130 for cabbage, 165 for turnip greens and 110 for spinach. The relatively high food value of the collard must be responsible for the health of the many Southerners who have eaten them because there was nothing else available and also for the vigor of the relatively few who have eaten the greens because of a genuine regard for their flavor. Last year Georgians shipped more than 300 carloads of collards and Mr. Keener has this to say of its market value: “The collard is one of the very few green vegetables which can be found on the market at every season of the year. Slow to at tract the attention of the con suming public, but ever increasing in favor, it is now used in large quantities over a large proportion of the United States.” That is all very fine, and it is possible that in time, due to its hearty reception abroad, the col lard may find greater favor in its native land. Even so The Adver tiser will still be cheering for tur nip greens. SATISFACTION As You’d Like It: There’s something about summer .that makes one want to have everything bright and clean.
