Lesson for March 8: Genesis 43: 34; Psalm 104; 14, 15; Proverbs 31: 4-7; Ecclesiastes 2: 1-3, 10, 11; Isaiah 56:12; I Corinthians 10: 6, 7. Golden Text: Proverbs 20: 1. We may wonder why men ever drink except to satisfy the craving of depraved appetite and we may ask why such a propaganda for al coholic beverages should be con tinued now when the defenders of our nation and of our democracy certainly need clear heads and steady hands. The present lesson undertakes to discover why people drink beverage alcohol. i There is first a desire to make ! merry, as shown in Genesis. They who would make life one contin- ! ual round of pleasure may think that drink is essential. In Psalms' we read of the wine ‘that maketh glad the heart of man,” but in Proverbs we find the advice of King Lemuel that it is not for kings and princes to drink wine lest they forget the law and per- i vert justice. So there are great things forgotten when a man drinks to forget his poverty and misery, as shown in Proverbs. To drink to forget is like taking an opiate to ease pain; the cause is not affected and when the drug, wears off the pain returns—often with a greater pang. The man: who drinks to forget his poverty I only adds to his poverty. The man of whom we read in Ecclesiastes who “seached in his heart how to cheer” his “flesh with wine” came to disillusion ment and vanity in the end. Paul likens lusting after evil things unto idolatry. The desire to make merry, to forget misery, to enjoy beautiful illusions all lead to disappoint ment and sorrow at last. And we may fittingly conclude that the reasons for abstinence and sobriety outweight all the reasons that impel men to indulge the ap petite for strong drink. —Buy Defense Bonds— X Demonstrators Prove Profit in Woodlands Vegetable Varieties For South Carolina Clemson, Feb. 28.—Proof of the value of woodlands in adding to the farm income is definitely con tained in the net return of $13,- 280 from 3,363 acres of timber re ported by 20 woodland manage ment demonstrators for 1941, says M. H. Bruner, forester of the Clemson Extension Service. “With increased demands for farm timber, stimulated by the war, most of the demonstrators made profitable timber sales,” Bruner declares, “while at the same time they left a good stand of trees from which another cut ting can be made within the next few years.” Following the advice and with the assistance of county agents and the Clemson extension forest ers in cooperation with the State Forest Service and the Soil Con servation Service these demon strators during the year employ ed the following simple timber management practices: 1. Kept out fire. 2. Thinned the smaller, crowd ed stands for fuelwood, pulpwood, and tobaccowood. 3. Marked and cut the older tim ber on a tree-selection basis, leav- ing*the thrifty, promising trees for future harvests. The 20 demonstrators, having an average of 168 acres in wood lands, reported an average net Charleston, Feb. 28.—It is al ways a temptation for gardeners and commercial growers to plant some of the many new varieties and strains of vegetables which are offered each year instead ©f the old standard varieties, says J. M. Jenkins, Jr., of the South Caro lina Truck Experiment station. “But the practical ’h ng to <io’\. the horticulturist warns, “especi ally this year when food-for-free- dom production must be assured, is to use only standard varieties and make small test plantings or the new things which seem to be interesting.” As to the varieties for South Carolina conditions, Mr. JenkLi? reminds growers that many vari eties which have proven to be out standing in other places may grow so well in this state, as they were bred for different conditions. He advises selections of varieties which from actual tests in South Carolina, have proven to be adapt ed to conditions in the state, and he gives in the following tabl-? the standard varieties as well a» some of the newer ones which ar? recommended for planting especi ally in coastal South Carolina.
