THE QUAKERS POINT THE WAY
A»nong all religious sects the
Society of Friends, commonly
knovm as Quakers, has the widest
reputation for living in confbrmity
to the fundamental Christian be-
. tfef in the Brotherhood of Man.
Ite membership, although small
by comparison with other sects,
has been foremost in every effort
to relieve human suffering, re
gardless of the race, creed or
nationality of the sufferers.
Forbidden by their religion to
take part in war, the Quakers have
been quick to render every possible
service to the victims or war. I
Under the leadership of the most
distinguished living Quaker, Her
bert Hoover, the American work of
relief for the civilian population of
Belgium during the first World
War and of the peoples of all the
rest of Europe after the war,
stands out as one of the greatest
humanitarian achievements of all!
time. j
It is not surprising that a sect
so famed for humanitarian efforts
should lately have gone on record
hi its Yearly Meeting in favor of
eombating racial hatred and re
ligious intolerance in America.
The written creed of the Society of
Friends is very brief. Plans are
under way to add a section speci
fically urging all Quakers to avoid
political and religious discrimi
nation against any class or sect,
and to use their influence to pre
vent such discrimination by others.
The Influence of the Quakers is
extremely great in proportion to
their numbers. -It may prove to be
the most potent force yet enlisted
in the battle against prejudices
based upon religious or racial
grounds.
There has not been a time in
years when the gospel of the
Brotherhood of Man needed the
support of good citizens so much
as it does now. Considering how
effective the work of the Quakers
has been in the past, their reaf
firmation of that doctrine at this
time is most encouraging to every
one who sincerely believes in tol
erance.

GARDEN WORK
The most important result of
producing vegetables on the farm
is the improvement which may be
expected in the health and food
habits of the family—not the sav
ing of money spent for those sup
plies. Medical authorities and
food specialists say that to be
healthy and strong and active one
should eat plenty of fruit and
vegetables.
Hints
Bo not allow tomato plants to
grow long-legged. Transplan;
them to other boxes or frames and
give each plant room to become
stout-stemmed and stocky. I:'
well hardened they may be set in
the open 10 days earlier.
In setting tomato plants do not
follow the old rule of setting only
as deep as they stood in the seed
bed. This is not deep enough. A
good tomato plant is about eight

inches from the root to the top,
and about as large as a lead pen
cil. Set the plants so that half
the stem is below the serface of
the ground. Plants set in this
manner will have roots enough to
resist drouth, besides roots will
come along the part of the stem
that is under the ground.
Early kinds of vegetables that
were planted in February and
March, such as beets, cabbage,
carrots, cauliflower, kale, lettuce,
mustard, peas, spinach, etc., need
to be cultivated frequently and
thoroughly and should be given a
side dressing of nitrate of soda.
Scatter this between the rows
without getting it on the plants.
Cultivate the ground with a wheel
hoe.
You can kill as many weeds and
nulverize as much crust in an
hour with a wheel hoe as you can
in at least three hours with an
old-fashioned weeding hoe.
In order that an unbroken sup
ply may be had, make another
planting of the vegetables planted
during March. Beets and onions
from seed may be transplanted
when they are too thick and miss
ing places filled or new rows set.

Please, Mrs. Murray, help me
out! I’m having the Kelleys for
dinner on Friday. Both are ‘fish-
eaters’ and all us loathe fish.”
'Fish-eaters’? Yes. Mrs. Hart
man, we Catholic’s call ourselves
that too—just in fun. But we
don’t have to eat fish on Fridays.
It’s just meat that we musn’t eat.
But whv don’t you serve your
\uest lobster, crab, oysters, clams
or any other sea food? Snapper
ind tprrapin are also within the
.aw. But don’t give them poultry
r»r meat soups. No Kelly would eat
those.”
“Thanks, Mrs. Murray; but—
would meat really hurt you on a
Friday? Would it be a sin? And
suppose you forgot the day of the
week ”
“If’ I forgot it was Friday, Mrs.
Hartman, meat at all three meals
would not be a sin, for no one can
sin without intending to do it.
And meat that is wholesome on a
Thursday or a Friday is just as
wholesome on a Saturday.
“You see, Mrs. Hartman, Christ
once said to His Opostles, ‘Who
hearth you, hearth Me’, and thus
gave to His Church authority to
make laws for the spiritual wel
fare of the faithful. Therefore, in
deliberately disobeying a Church
law. we are deliberately disobeying
God. Just there is where the sin
comes in.
“On the first Good Friday, Mrs.
Hartman, Christ hung for three
long agonizing hours on the cross
and sacrificed His whole human
life for us. Isn’t it then the least
we can do, to sacrifice just meat
each Friday for Him and thus be
reminded of the redemntion of
mankind? The Church thinks so.
That’s why we have our law of
Fridav abstinance—a law almost
as old as Christianity-itself.
“Ah, Mrs. Hartman, if the good
old days would only come again,
so that we all would worship—the
same God in the same wav! Then
you wouldn’t be worrying over
”'hat to feed the Kellys on a Fri
day, for you and your whole house
hold would be ‘fish-eaters’ too.”

SAMTARY OFFICER SAYS
FIGHT FLIES AI\D
MOSQUITOES mW
During the summer months one
often hears it stated that there
are more flies, or mosquitoes than
usual, and the fact attributed to
some phenomenal condition, said
Mr. J. P. King. Sanitary Officer, of
Abbeville and McCormick Counties.
He also added that it is very true
that one year the increase in flies
and mosouitoes is very marked
over another but that there is a
direct cause for it. The time to
fight these insects, he says, is in
the month of May, and that
if a large number of people will do
so a decided decrease will be noted
during the summer months. He
effers the following suggestions in
the effort:
1. Begin to use insecticides now
against flies, mosquitoes, roaches,
ants, etc., i. e., powders, sprays,
fly paper, swatters. One insect
eliminated now accounts for hun
dreds in August.
2. Repair all screening in house
and protect all foods, as insects,
like humans, congregate where
there is the most food.
3. Clean up the areas about the
home and other property. Cut
the grass, drain marshy and wet
areas, spread oil on apparent
mosquito breeding places. Clean
barnyards and stalls frequently.
Erect sanitary toilets.
4. Dispose of garbage in cover
container. Erect small platform j
to keep container off ground and
fasten so that dogs, cats, and
other prowlers cannot overturn.
If there is no garbage collection,
dig a hole and bury it.
It is indisputable that, if a
vicious campaign is carried out by
each individual in May against
insects a very noted decrease will
be noted in the summer months.
UNCLE NATCHEL says:
FARM GUIDE
FOR MAY
To remind farmers of essential
farm activities in May, County
Agent D. Austin Shelley makes
these suggestions:
Agronomy
1. Do not ruin a good stand of
cotton by chopping it all out.
Leave two or three stalks every 8
to 12 inches. 2. For a profitable
investment make a side applica
tion of nitrogen to cotton soon
after chopning. 3. Plan to put all
grain stubble land into soybeans,
cowpeas, or velvet beans for soil-
conserving and soil-building crops.
Horticulture
1. Sow tomatoes for July trans
planting, collard and cabbage for
August transplanting. 2. Mulch to
matoes heavily with straw or
leaves to hold moisture and pro
long fruiting. 3. Do not cultivate
beans while the foliage is wet. 4.
Apply nitrate of soda to garden
crops if net growing well. 5. Do
not cut voung asparagus too close
ly: fertilize and manure the bed
after cutting season.
Insects and Diseases
1. Arrange to poison the boll
weevil early. 2. Spray fruit trees
for curculio, codling moth, and
diseases. 3. Spray pecans with
Bordeaux to control scab. 4. Band
apple trees for codling moth by
May 15. 5. Control Irish potato
and tomato diseases and insects
with Bordeaux-lead arsenate spray.
6. Get ready to fight the screw
worm.
Agricultural Engineering
1. Keep working parts of farm
machinery greased or oiled, as this
is cheaper than repairs. 2. Check
the mower, binder, or other har
vesting machinery for needed re
pairs. 3. Be sure that grain is
dead ripe before harvesting wit*i,
a combine, which usually is 101

Soil Conservation
1. Watch the terrace channels
during the planting and culti
vating period. A big rain may silt |
them up in places and cause
breaks later. 2. Sow some close
growing crop on newly constructed
terraces. Sorghum or sudan is
fine for this. 3. Visit your nearest

stration area and study the con-
ditiens and results.
