When Dagon fell on his face before the ark of the covenant of the most high God and the Philistines suffered many ills, the ark was returned into Israel Cl Samuel 4, 5. 6). After a brief time at Bethshemesh, the ark was taken by the: men of K^r- jathjearim to the house of Abi- aadab, where it stayed 20 years. Meanwhile Samuel, grown to manhood,-was beginning to ex- , ercise a wide influence and was being recognised as a prophet. - Abinadab’s house had- replaced Shiloh as the sanctuary and the presence there of the ark doubt less helped to bring a Religious revival. Samuel gathered the people in repentance at Mizpeh. ■jlIus was an armed mobilization as well as a religious meeting. The Philistines at once accept* ed tiie challenge of the mobili zation and gathered their armies for battle. Crying unto Samuel to cease not to pray for them, the i Israelites went to battle and , completely routed the Philis tines. The lands which had been : taken from the Israelites were ! restored and the *‘hand of the Lord was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel." Through these stirring events , tiie Israelites gained a national ' consciousness which was soon to * manifest itself in the demand vfor a king and the desire for a ! strong kingdom.

A. Bouknight Couny Agent Cotton Seed Situation: Due to the weather condition during the harvesting season in 1945 the ger mination of cotton seed is gen* erally low. For this reason farm ers are again urged to know what the germination test is and plant accordingly. Now is the time to send in seed for germination test Hank Greenberg By ELLIOTT PINE MWNS Sport* Writer. Bob Feller, Cleveland’s ace hurler, has been offered $100,000 a year for three'' years by the Mexican league. This circuit, which includes six M ex lean cities and El Paso, Texas, has been branded an "outlaw" league by American, baseball organi zations. Jorge Pasquel, presi dent of the Mexican league, says that he is negotiating to get Hank Greenberg and Ted Wil liams for next year. Feller is now receiving $40,000 a year, and Greenberg ‘ around $60,000. Join ing the new league would jeop ardize any big league player’s standing in organized American baseball. Commissioner Chan dler has declared. Last year the 48 states sold 8,190,901 hunting licenses for a total revenue of $15,512,252, com pared with 7,505,258 licenses in 1944. Returning servicemen ac count for the upturn, as well as the larger amount of ammuni tion that made available last year. n Max Morris of Northwest ern U, has been picked as most outstanding basketball player in the Big Ten by the Associated Press poll. Other members of the mythical first team include Jaros of Minnesota, Underman of Ohio State. Wilkinson, Iowa, and Hoffman of Purdue. Jack Dempsey will receive something between $50,000 and $100,000 a year as president of Boxing Promoters of America, Inc., an organization whose pur pose is to improve the quality of matches in a score of big cities. Dempsey will select the “fight of the week” to be broadcast under the sponsorship of a hat company. Four members of the U. of Wisconsin’s boxing team are war veterans who have been award ed the Purple Heart.

Nineteen hundred and forty-six is a year In which we should treat every cotton seed that we plant It helps considerably to get bet ter stands when spring planting conditions are unfavorable. Too the plants will be much healthier and mpre vigorous. The material recommended for treating cotton seed is 2 per cent Ceresan at rate of 3 oz. per bushel and 5 per cent Ceresan at rate of 1 1-2 oz. per bushel. The importance of treat ing cannot be overemphasized. We estimate that the cotton farmers lose from $10 to $25 per acre by diseases and insects. The following- is a paragraph from Mr. J. M. Eleazer’s Weekly Column “Seen Along The Road side”: When I arrived In McCormick the agricultural agency workers and county committee men were in their monthly meeting. They rotate the program among the agencies. This was Triple-A’s. P. W. Kowalski, farmer of Ander son County and Triple-A district man, was addressing the group on Triple-A practices for 1946. There are 1,050 farms in the county, and he said a greater per centage of them built terraces last year than in any other coun ty in the state. That county has $27,000 in farm allowances this year. He urged them to do all they could towards encouraging farmers to use this money in car rying out needed soil building practices on the^r farms. The next meetipg will be in charge of Extension, with County Agent M. A. Bouknight and Miss Matilda Bell, the Home Agent, handling the program. gbod.

Bowers, assistant extension horti culturist of Clemson College. A normal yield will mean a large crop of melons to be marketed this season. This year growers should begin to think about quality and not quantity. For growing good quali ty melons, Mr. Bowers makes the following suggestions: 1. Select a rather fertile, sandy, loamy soil where watermelons have not been grown for the past 10 to 12 years. New ground is bet ter. 2. Plant only good seed, the basis for producing quality melons. Seed treated with Seniesan is a partial control for anthracnose and gummy stem blight. 3. Use at least 800 pounds of 5-10-5, or 4-10-6, or 3-9-9 fertilizer per acre. Also use a side-dressing AND HOME Spring house cleaning and gar dening will take their toll .of the housewife’s hands hut certain precautions will keep them pre sentable for a • game of bridge or any other oc casion. * S a f e - guard your hands with gloves in every possible instance and use hand lotions gen erously. F u r- thermore keep a jar of fine corn- meal dampened with lemon juice and a few drops of peroxide by the kitchen sink and use it sev eral times a day. This mixture rubbed into hands will remove odors, too, such as fish and onions, as well as the stains of fruit and toil. • Speaking of house cleaning, let preparedness be your motto. When the urge to start cleaning strikes you, you don’t want to be hampered by lack of mate rials. Cleaning cloths, polishing cloths, chamois and sponges, metal polishes, furniture polish, cleaning paste or crystals for washing woodwork, wallpaper cleaner and floor wax all Should be replenished and at hand for the spring drive. When it comes to the actual cleaning, keep in mind that each material used in household furnish ings requires especial treat ment. Silver, pewter, brass and copper, chromium and fine aluminum all need spe cial handling to keep them in perfect condition. Glass ware, fine china, procelain, pottery and the various plas tics each demand meticu lous care. A good furniture polish that cleans as well as polishes is es sential and saves both time and work. Rugs can be eleaned and shampooed on the floor or taken up and sent to the dry cleaners. There are excel lent powders on the market that can be rubbed into the pile of rugs and carpets to remove spots and soil. It’s a good idea to let the powder remain in the fabric for sev eral hours or overnight. ^ JES* SQUEEZE NATCHEL, SONNY! 1946 Outlook For Poultry And Eggs Clemson, Mar. 2.—Prices re ceived by farmers for eggs in 1946 are expected to be at or near tandiing me program.

If adequate supplies of meat are not available, the demand for eggs will likely re main strong. The number of chickens raised in 1946 will probably show significant declines from the 1945 level. How ever, heavy flock cullings, because of prospective lower egg prices, will tend to maintain the supply of poultry meat. It is likely that commercial broiler production will be reduced somewhat in 1946 from current levels. If consumer purchasing power during the postwar period remains high, the per capita consumption of chickens may continue well a- bove the prewar level of 18 pounds. Also if more efficient techniques in broiler production and improvements in marketing methods can be effected, these will contribute to maintaing a higher level of chicken consump tion. Turkey meat production in 1946 will probably be less than in 1945. However, favorable returns for the past two years and ample feed • f nitrate of soda and potash. | SU pp^ es probably will keep turkey Plenty of potash improves the uction up abovfc the prewar cutting quality of melons. average but not so high as the 4.
