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.

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.
Keep piles dose together.
Destroy the bogs when
you use the contents.

Growers’ prices, OPA said, were

surveys showed a yield 19 per
cent below normal resulted from
the October hurricane.

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.
