Learning About the Kingdom.
Is'sutn for June lb: Luke 9:23, 24,
4b-4)l, 57-62: 11:1-4: 17:20. 21.
Memory Selection: Matthew 6:10.
Under the perfect teaching of
/esus the disciples were led to
iearn much about the kingdom.
The lesson text includes four pas
sages from Luke which teach
things the disciples needed to
know. And we ourselves should
know them.
Consider denying oneself. This
means more than giving up some
luxury. It is the denial and the
giving up of a man’s right to do
just as he pleases, and his full
surrender to the will of Jesus.
Jesus called a little child to
teach the disciples to be humble.
, For through the child Jesus
showed that he who humbly
serves the least of men “the
same is great.” And persever
ance is demanded. He who puts
bis hand to the plow must not
turn back. Choosing Jesus, a
■nan must follow him, even
though he must give up the dear-
• «st things of earth.
Disciples must learn how to
pray. In public prayer some
seem more conscious of men
• than of God. Remember that
. God is hearing you. He does not
■eed to be informed at length
, about conditions. Be conscious,
first, of God’s presence, tell him
! Simply of your needs, and com-
• mit your ways unto him. See
' bow the Lord’s Prayer includes
' ally needs. Truly to pray this
• prayer fits a man for citizenship
m the kingdom.
, The kingdom is within you.
. Certainly its high principles
f must be in your hearts, that its
' rule may be worked out in all
• bum an conditions. ,

The South Carolina State Com
mission of Forestry and Clemson
College Extension Service have
announced that the winner of the
South Carolina Five-acre Pulp-
wood Thinning Contest is Mr. J.
L. Bracknell, Plum Branch, Mc
Cormick County, S. C. Mr. Brack-
nel has been awarded the $250.00
contest first prize.
This, the first annual Five-acre
Pulpwood Thinning Contest, was >
sponsored by Clemson College Ex
tension Service, the SoXith Caro- |
lina State Commission of Forestry,;
the International Paper Company,
The West Virginia Pulp and Paper j
Company, the Champion Paper
and Fiber Company, and the
Union Bag and Paper Company.
The prize money was donated by
these paper companies, all of
which buy pulpwood in South
Carolina.
The contest was designed to
stimulate interest among farmers
in cutting pulpwood on their own
lands with their own labor during
the fall and winter months and
in conformity with sound forestry
principles. The contest ran from
October through February. All
contestants owned or lived on
farms, marked the trees to be cut
on the five-acre plot, and- cut or
supervised the cutting of. the trees
into puplwood or fuelwood. Rec
ords were kept on the number of
trees and the volume cut and
the number of man hours re
quired to complete the cutting.
In addition to the state winner,
three district winners were de
clared by the state judging com
mittee. These winners were as fol
lows: Piedmont District, . Mr.
Charles R. Hammett of Gaffney,
Cherokee County; Pee Dee Dis
trict, Mr. Francis B. Kinsey of
Round O., Colleton County; and
Aiken District, Mrs. Kate S. Self
of Edgefield, Edgefield County.
These winners won over stiff com
petition afforded by other partici
pants, and were selected with dif
ficulty by the state judging com
mittee.
Honorable mention and county
first prizes of $25.00 went to sev
enteen (17) county winners as
follows: Bamberg County, M. B.
Cave of Olar; Berkley County, F.
K. Simmons, Eutawville; Claren-
Jackson, Horatio; and Williams
burg County, Berry I. Williamson,
Kingstree.
County second prizes of $10.00
were awarded the following:
Clarendon County, N. R. Cousar,
Sardinia; Greenwood County, J. J.
Griffin, Greenwood; and Horry
County, Loris F. F. A. Chapter,
Loris.
The state judging committee
was comprised of D. W. Watkins,
Director of Clemson Extension
Service; Charles H. Flory, State
Forester; and Henry Malsberger,
of the Southern Pulpwood Associ
ation.
Plans are underway at the pres
ent time for continuation of the
contest annually.
Outstanding Job
The South Carolina State Com
mission of Forestry and Clemson
College Extension Service take
pleasure in announcing the state
winner and in awarding the state
1-rii.e of $250.00 in the five acrv
thinning contest to J. L. Bracknell
of Plum Branch, McCormick
County.
Mr. Bracknell did an outstand
ing job in thinning his twenty-
two year cld lob-lolly pine. From
the crowded stand he took out
crooked, defective, and limby
trees, and sold them for pulpwood.
This amounted to 19.65 cords
From trees too small for pulpwood
and from tops he obtained 10
cords of
At current prices the value '*
the wood cut from the plot was
$252.00, or a little over $50.00 per
acre. This figure repesents farm
mcomr derived from the thinning
operations, and can be broken
down two ways. First, actual
cost of the work was as follows:
cutting $90.00; hauling and load
ing $87.00; total $177.00. Second,
a profit of $75.00 for the five acre
plot was realized.
From the picture it can be ob
served that the stand appears to
be lightly cut, aijd this is true. A
check of the uncut trees at the
time of judging shows that about
eighteen cords are left per acre
and about six cords were cut. In
five years Mr. Bracknell can go
back into this plot and cut as
much as he has just taken out

and not deplete his stand.
Each thinning from now on
should continue to take out the
low grade trees, so that when th3
plot has reached saw timber size
only the best trees will be left for
sawtimber.
Thus thinning out about one-
third the total volume, receiving
farm income at the rate of $50.00
per acre, and leaving the best
timber to grow, is the nearest
thing to eating your cake and
having it too.
In regard to forest farming. Mr.
Bracknel says, “This woods opera
tion fits in better with my farm
ing operation than anything I
can do in the winter months.”
