PACE EIGHT THE MEWBfcimY SUN FRIDAY. PECKWBKK B. 1»41 HILL WARNS PEOPLE AGAINST NAZI TACTICS “It i? stupid and beyond all ex pression for us in America to think we can escape a conflict with Hitler/* declared U. S. Senator Lister Hill, Alabama, in a radio broadacst to the American people. “Other nations thought the same thing, and today they toil in bondage,” Mr. Hill said. Warning the people against the method used by conquerors, Senator Hill declared, “Divide and Conquer is the rule they follow today and they have been very clever at their task. The plodding German mind has meas ured our strength and our weakness. They apply themselves to the weak ness in our armor. They know that a nation divided against itself can not stand. “Division in America is in large part the result of German penetra tion,” Senator Hill said. “It is easy to see that now they stir up racial hatreds in the United States. They foster strife, between capital and la bor. They play upon the hearts of the weak sentimentalists. They en courage the delusions if the isola tionists. They would m e of America a warring of creeds and factions. Thev would reproduce in America the conditions which devitalized France and made her an easy prey. “And we in America have played into their hands,” declared the senator. Reminding the American people that we have leaders of our own choosing and to give them a chance to lead, Senator Hill said. “This is no time for selfishness. It is for sacrifice. It is time for unity of purpose. We have 130,000,000 people, who should be willing ot give their all to the sal vation of America.” MULE-RAISING GAIN SEEN FOR SOUTH CAROLINA Clemson, Nov. 29.—“Mainfafning normal replacements in the state’s mule population of 180,000 head, val ued at about $25,000,000, has been a constant drain on the state’s farming resources,” states Director D. W. Watkins of the Celmson extension ser vice. “About 10 per cent of this work Siock has to be replaced each year. When that necessity comes to the av erage farm, it usually means that savings are used up and often some debt left besides, and the farmer finds himself right back where he started.” Some years ago the extension ser vice started working on this matter through its live-at-home program and at present there are sixty jacks in the state located in thirty-one counties, and five other counties are For Electrical Jobs Phone 120-J for liny Electrical work you want done. I will come promptly and do the job right. patronizing jacks in nearby counties. So in all, thirty-six of the state’s forty-six counties are raising some mules. In a number of instances the farm security administration has been of great assistance in getting in jacks on a cooperative basis where needed. Reports from every county agdflt in the state show that in, twenty- two of the thirty-one counties hav ing jacks, they are being patronized to capacity. As to the quality of work being done by the medium - type draft mares that are being used, all thir ty-seven counties report that their work is perfectly satisfactory as compared with mules, and they come much cheaper. In answer to the question, “Are home-raised mules proving satisfactory?” all thirty-six coutnies that answered said “Yes” “Spanish jacks on these medium- type mares of about 50 per cent draft breeding are producing good mules for South Carolina farmers,” states J. R. Hawkins, extension live stock specialist. “These mares are doing good work and come consider ably cheaper than mules, and in addi tion each mare can raise a mule colt practically every year that is worth real money as it grows up.” Farmers who have been doing it say that it costs comparatively lit tle to raise a mule colt. Other than the breeding fee which is usually $10, the cost in raising a colt is mostly things such as roughage in the stables a little grain there, and grazing in the pasture and fields—things <hat would not materialize into money anyway. Thus at little cost or trou ble, the average farm can raise need ed replacements and occasionally even have a mule to sell.

ANDERSON FARM GROUP SEEKS TO OUST OFFICERS Anderson, Dec. 3.—A large group of farmers, meeting last night in a lengthy session at Morris Shoals school in the western part of the county, the meeting being the seventh of a series being held in various parts of the county, recommended the re moval of Paul W. Kowalski, AAA ad ministration officer of the county, and also of County Agent E. P. Josey. The meeting recommended Mr. Kowalski be replaced by Reese Herron of Starr. Both the officials were present for the meeting as was R. W. Ham ilton, state administrator of the AAA. The latter spoke for about one hour in responding to certain griev ances whick had been lodged against Kowalski. The group of farmers voted by standing ballot on the proposed re moval of Mr. Kawalski, who for the past several years has been admini strative officer of the AAA. in Ander son county. Also by a standing vote a short time later they proposed the removal of Agent Josey. The first of the series of meetings to air grievances against the AAA and Josey’s office was held some time ago at Lebanon. Since that time six others have been held and others are scheduled for the immediate future at various points in the county, it was announced last night. C. D.

I AFRICA LAND OF PROMISE. ‘APOSTLE OF PLOW’ AVOWS ! Africa is a great land of opportune ty for American Negroes who have iniative and vision and who are wilt- j ing to equip themselve* as leaders, in ; the opinion of a returned Negro mis- . sionary who has achieved a national | reputation as “the apostle of the plow.” He is Samuel B. Cole^, a native of Alabama, who is home' on a fur lough after 18 years spent principal ly on the west coast of Africa al though he has visited and studied in every section of that great continent. “Most people have a wrong idea of Africa,” he said, as he traced on a map of that continent sections with which he is especially familiar. “They think that it is too hot, f^r one thing, although many parts oi Africa, are very cold, and they think there are nothing but jungles and wild animals. They don’t know that it is a wonder fully fertile country, where hard wiheat can grow alongside bananas”— and he produced a photograph to , prove it—“and where there is every thing right there awaiting develop ment.” The United States, said he, should have a wonderful opportunity in the post-war period' bo contribute much toward the development of the rich resources of Africa, includ ing the abilities of its vast popula tion of native Africans who in the main are intelligent, kindly people who learn quickly once they are given trained leaders.” Recently, he saidl, he was called to Washington for a conference with .representatives of the Department of Agriculture and also of the State department concerning the present situation in Africa. In event the United States in jjts own defense should decide to seize Dakar on the westernmost tip of Africa, he said he suggested to Washington officials, the assault should be made through Liberia or in that area of the upper west coast rather than by a frontal attack from the ocean. “That would save many lives,” he added, "and it would 1 be the most effective way to capture Dakar, by assaulting it from the rear.” Liberia, the African republic that comes nearest, perhaps, to resem bling the United States in its politi cal structure, is a land of tremendous opportunity to intelligent American Mix Lemon Juice AT HOME ^ TO REUEVE RHEUMATIC PAINS Monev Back—If This Recipe Fails Good news travels fast—many of the thou sands of folks who now take lemon Juice for rheumatic pain—have found that by adding two tablespoonfuls of Allenru to one tablespoonful of Lemon Juice in & glass of water, they get faster relief for the aches and pains caused by rheumatism, lumbago.

Efforts to grow sea island cotton will be abandoned for the time be ing at least, the department report ed after Cuban attempts had proved decidedly discouraging. About 50 acres of this type of staple were expected 1 to be planted for the 1941 crop and production of between 20 and 25 350-pound bales was anticipated. The actual area planted however, was only 35 acres and the total crop amounted to only 3,6 K) pounds which was sold in the United States at an average price of 25 cents a pound. During 1940 the sea island cotton crop harvested from 125 acres totaled 14,800 pounds, which was sold at an average price of 29 cents a pound f. o. b. Havana. The crop harvested from 125 acres in 1938, when the experiments first were undertaken, amounted to 12,- 000 pounds, marketed 1 at an average of 30 cents a pound'.
