Memory Selection: Jeremiah 7: /.V.
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. As they over
ly came by returning to God and
l Vrwtbur *0 him, let the indi-
1 rfcfcrO veofe well to his own fu-
i: tur* by drtt*Hn£ bis life to the

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

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.

To Be Large In 1946
Barnwell, Mar. 2. — Indications
are that the 1946 watermelon a-
creage will be an increase over
the 1945 acreage, says Hugfti A.
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. ^

^ eggs have been an important sub-
Wat^rmelrm ArreaP'P stitute during the war, and to a
Watermelon g ^ minor extent to the reduction in
military purchases. 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.

will probably be less than in 1945.

I A LOT OF GOOD COMfeS
• FROM THE EARTH
Sonny was say In’ that oF
bossy cow is jes’ a natchel
factory for making milk
out o’ fodder. But I tell
him that making good
milk begins when mother
nature gave us the ferti
lizer to help the fodder
grow. I was refe^in , to the
natchel soda us farmers
uses on all our crops.
Natchel soda comes
right from the earth. No
body knows for sure quite
how it got there. But they
does know the wonderful
things natchel Chilean
soda does for crops.
Seems like jes" being
natchel makes Chilean
soda different from any
other kind. Maybe folks
won’t be able to get all
they want this season, but
if we’re careful with what
we get, it may do.
