Clemson, Nov. 13.—Our interna tional trade policy will be a factor affecting postwar agriculture and farm life, declares Extension Di rector D. W. Watkins, expressing the hope that it be not bungled by considerations too narrow and selfish. “A high level of farm production will require a high level of city employment and a sound foreign trade,” Director Watkins declares. “Otherwise the economic tether begins to wind around the post and it wouldn’t take as long this time for it to get as tight as it did in 1929 to ’33.” While not offering a prescription for an individual farm without considering its specific circum stances, Mr. Watkins makes sug gestions based mostly on trends already under way before this war. These are: Wheat will perhaps be regarded as a feed crop as well as a food crop. More intensive cultivation of cotton on the acreage devoted to that crop looking to a regular yield of a bale per acre will con tinue. Substitution of winter grown small grains for corn will increase. Perhaps there will be an in crease in small grains as winter cover crops, but summer legumes especially lespedeza will increase, as will the use of lime. Farming will trend more to live stock as these farm-crop changes occur. With an increased inter est in livestock there will be speed ing up of pasture building at a cost of $10 to $30 per acre so as to let the livestock harvest their own reed. More acres for intensive culti vation and for grazing will be un der irrigation, starting with cheap gravity systems on a small scale. -X- Ration Calendar For Week of November 20 PROCESSED FOODS: Blue A8 through W5 (Book 4) now valid at 10 points each. Good indefinitely. MEATS AND FATS: Red A8 TAKE YOUR FERTILIZER NOW Is There’s a crisis in the making! If stocks pile up in fertilizer plants and agents* v/are- houses, the stream of supply will choke up. They must move fast or the lack of man-power will cause a para lyzing shortage. Take the Chilean Nitrate situation for example. To supply the quantity needed for 1945 crops, many car goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then moved out by train and truck for immediate allocation. It must move out of agents* hands as fast as it moves in. If not, the choke-up starts and works back to the ports, even back to the ships. Already there’s a threatened shortage of nitrogen, due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help sm^ish the bottle-neck by taking your nitrate as soon as it is offered, the shortage will become acute. Thous ands of tons will pile up at U.S. ports or on the docks in Chile. The only place Chil ean Nitrate does you any good is on your crops. Get yours now... while you can. Storage Tips Pile all materials on dry boards in barn or shed. Pile materials separately.

Farmers who have rebuilt fieir car to operate in deep mud or | snow, and need tires for that ~-’r pose, may make applicatio’ a their local War Price and Ra 1 n ing Board. Florida tangerines may retail for from 1 to 2 cents per r nd more in the Southeast as th~ re sult of action by the Offic' of Price Administration in r' ing growers’ ceilings for the rema nd- er of the year to compensate for recent hurricane losses. Growers’ prices, OPA said, were adjusted in compliance with the “disaster” clause of the Stabiliza tion Extension Act after recent surveys showed a yield 19 per cent below normal resulted from the October hurricane. t REV. ROBERT H. HARPER t The Christian Vietc of Industry. Lesson for November 26: Deuteron omy 8:11.20: Luke 12:13-34: 19:11-27; Acts 19:23-28: l Thessalonians 4:11,12; 11 Thessalonians 3:10-12. Golden Text: Ephesians 4:28. The Bible has no comfort for a lazy man. It commends industry. Deuteronomy warns against forget ting God in days of prosperity, lest ruin come upon those who ignore Him who gives the ‘‘power to get wealth.” The foolish farmer illustrated the woe that comes upon those who lay up treasure for themselves. Through birds and lilies Jesus taught a lesson of trust in God, bade His hearers seek first the king dom of God, and assured them that needful things would be given them. The danger of seeking wealth is the love of it. ‘‘For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” The Bible does not teach that being rich is sinful, but loving money is sin, “for the love of mon ey is the root of all evil.” The parable of the pounds shows the duty of rightly using what one has. One man was not condemned because he had only one pound but because he did not improve it. In the wider range of life man should faithfully use everything committed to him that, when the things of earth fail, he may be received “into everlasting habitations.” The Ephesian silversmiths were industrious enough but for their gain alone, and they raised an outcry against Paul because of their re duced revenues. Industry for selfish ends is condemned in the Bible. { Paul stresses the duty of work—; to avoid dependence upon othera and disorderliness, also to reach quietness and contentment. So may the Christian be industrious, that he may honor God with his substance, as he gives it a secondary place and uses it for the kingdom of God.
