A Nation Uemand* a King.
Lesson for Marcft 31: i Samuel 8:
10-22.
Memory Selection: Psalms 33:12.
Nowithstanding the great
leadership ef Samuel, the Israel
ites asked of Samuel a king. He
tried to dissuade them, telling
them of the demands a king
would make of them in 'taxes
And service in war and peace.
In this record of Hebrew his
tory we may see the folly of the
people in demanding a king. It
is true the Hebrews followed the
usual course of the organizatioh
of government among the an
cients, but they could have set
a pattern for men three thou
sand years before the French
revolution—might have organ
ized a great republic instead of
clamonng for a monarchy. As.
their sanitary laws of Leviti
cus were far in advance of the
time and as they were the only
people of the world who had the
true religion, they might haye set
an example in democratic gov
ernment. Instead, they chose
the monarchy which was to cul
minate in the magnificent reign
of Solomon, with exhorbitant
taxes that led to the division of.
the kingdom.
Now, under whatever form
of government, consider things
that make a nation really great.
The Psalmist writes in the words
given as a memory selection
that the nation is blessed whose
God is the Lord. Though we
have won in the recent wars, we
have turned loose upon our own
country a dire flood of profanity,
drinking and other immoralities,
with an increasing apathy to
ward God and religion. The time
and the conditions demand a
Mizpeh.

Add Oatmeal,
Subtract Wheat
Current supplies of oats avail
able for food in this ebuntry are
larger than they have been in
several years. So, eating a little
more oatmeal and a little less
bread is one- way Americans can
save the wheat needed to avert
starvation abroad.
A serving of oatmeal equals two
slices of bread in food value. And
when putting this timely arith
metic to work, another figure-
fact to remember is: If every
man, woman, and school child will
replace two slices of bread with a
serving of oatmeal each week, this
will mean 135,000 tons of wheat
for the hungry, in four months’
time.
Oatmeal ranks even above whole
wheat in some respects as a high
ly nourishing grain food. In mill
ing oats, only the fibrous hull and
! adhering portions are removed,
leaving the entire kernel with its
germ and other vitamin-rich and
mineral-rich portions as human
food.
Coarsely ground, the kernel is
true oatmeal. The more familiar
form called rolled oats is pre
pared by steaming and then flat
tening the kernels between steel
rolls.' To produce “quick-cooking”
rolled oats, the kernels are cut
and flattened thinner than for
the “regular” type of rolled oats.
In every day use, all these are of
ten called oatmeal.
Oatmeal contains calcium and
iron; the B vitamin tniamine; a-
bout 60 calories to a half-cup
serving, for bodily energy; and
protein for body tissue building
and repair. When ( a bowl of oat
meal is served with milk, or oat
meal is used in cookies containing
egg, or when oatmeal is blended
in a meat loaf, the proteins of the
plant and animal food supplement
one another as to essentials the
body requires. Even a little pro
tein from an animal source team
ed with the grain forms a highly
nourishing combination.
Oatmeal can be used also in
place of some of the wheat flour
to make highly nutritious yeast
bread, muffins, and biscuits.
during any similar period since 1
winter examinations were started
in 1942, the average number per.
acre found during previous years |
being as follows: 1944, 4324; 1943, 1
2731;- and 1942, 3963.
Examinations made in January
and February from the same areas
showed an average of 2870 live
boll weevils per acre, a reduction
of about 40 per cent over the
November-December average. This
number is still alarmingly high in
comparison with the spring ex
aminations made during previous
years.
Spring examinations, made in
March, have not yet been com
pleted, says Mr. Rainwater, but it
appears doubtful from previous
experience that the average ^larch (
number will vary grpatly from thej
average January-February number
of 2870 live boll weevils per acre.!
The March average last year re-j
vealed 2580 live boll weevils per
acre.
If the present March examina
tions should average close to the
January-February number of 2870
live boll weevils per acre, as ap
pears likely, there will be cause for
alarm concerning the boll weevil
problem in 1946, concludes Mr.
Rainwater.

More Money From
Cotton; New Ex
tension Circular
diemson, Mar/ 16.—To maintain
cotton as a money crop in the
South and to compete with for
eign cotton production and syn
thetic fibers, farmers in the state
must further increase the yield of
cotton per acre, improve staple
quality, and lower the cost per
pound, say Clerhson specialists in
Extension Circular 280, “More
Money from Cotton.”
South Carolina farmers should
continue to organize into one-va-^
riety cotton improvement associa
tions to produce good quality cot
ton. More and more cotton man-
ufaettrrers are demanding one-
variety, good quality cotton to
meet manufacturing requirements.

CONCRETE
SILOS
'With the world calling for more
food, many fanners are planning
new silos to increase their farm
capacity. And every farmer who
has owned one, knows that con
crete silos are best! They are
water-tight, firesafe, wind-
proof and long-lasting.
A concrete silo will provide a
rich, nourishing feed supply that ^
increases milk production, and'
keeps stock and dairy herds in
good condition all winter. It pro
tects against feed shortage in
dry years.
Write for booklet on concrete ’
silos and names of silo builders
in your vicinity. Or check list

Boll Weevil Outlook
In State For 1946
Florence, Mar. 18. — Examina
tions of surface trash for hiber
nating boll weevils made at the
Pee Dee Experiment Station in
dicate that a large number have
survived the winter and will be
ready to invade cotton fields this
spring, says USDA Entomologist
C. F. Rainwater.
These examinations are made
during the winter and spring
months by collecting samples of
surface trash from near the edges
of cotton fields and carefully ex
amining the trash for live boll
weevils. In the past these records
have been very reliable sources of
comparative data on the potential
abundance of boll weevis.
Records made during November
and December of last year indi
cated an average of 4840 live
boll weevils per acre in areas ad
jacent to cotton fields at thaA
Home Garden
Campaign
Clemson, Mar. 23. —Because of
the world food situation, Presi
dent Truman has called for an
all-cut effort in the maximum
production of all foodstuffs. Thus,
home gardens assume a com
manding position, says Director
D. W. Watkins of the Clemson
Extension Service.
A. E. Schilletter, extension hor
ticulturist, and Miss Sallie Pearce,
extension food conservation speci
alist, have been called to Wash
ington to a conference on ways
and means of launching the vast
food production campaign.
Now is the time to do some
thing about gardening for 194S,
says Mr. Schilletter, for it is the
early summer garden than usually
supplies not only family needs but
the surplus for canning. With the
shortest wheat crop since 1929,
and with the demand for other
foods cf all sorts, home gardens
assume new meaning.
Extension specialists have just
completed one-day schools over
the tftate at which home demon
stration agents obtained the lat
est gardening techniques, varieties,
and insect controls. The field is
being prepared for a great garden
ing campaign in 1946 in which all
public agencies are cooperating.
Helpful aids may be found in
Clemson publications available di
rect from the Publications* depart
ment, Clemson, or from county
and home agents.
