Hidden Gold Conserves High Protein Feed Proper Fertilisers Essential War Need Good pasture will provide live stock growers with “hidden gold” in She form of beef-making feeds that will conserve vitally needed pro tein crops, if proper management ■nethods are followed. “Pasture must continue to occupy m more essential place in the na tion's livestock producing program mitn the war’s end for several rea- aras,” a statement by the Middle West Soil Improvement committee points out. “Shortages of labor and machinery have shown no signs of marked improvement. The scarcity af high protein feeds continues. Be cause of these facts, farmers will have to rely on pasture crops as a major source of sustenance for their ■restock. “Grains will, of course, be fed but farmers will want to use every hoshel of grain where it will help aoake the most meat. “Practical experience of success ful livestock growers has demon- atrsted that high-producing pasture combinations will yield a beef pound- Pastures Aid Increase mgu per acre that compares favor ably with the return from crops with higher seeding, tillage and har dest costs. For instance, a mixture mt alfalfa and brome grass made mere than 3 pounds of beef an acre ■aQy in a test in Michigan. “Bringing pastures to a high pro duction level and maintaining them at this rate requires good manage ment methods. This means follow- ing a soil conservation program that builds up fertility and provides plant foods that will assure a good stand af legumes and grasses. In such a program the use of a fertilizer con taining phosphorus and potash plays an important part. "Where a permanent pasture crop Is planned, farmers will find gener ally that a top dressing of fertilizer this fall will pay for itself many times in producing earlier and more succulent grass for spring grazing next year as well as a heavier growth later. “Agronomists at state colleges and experiment stations are glad to cooperate with farmers in providing hiformation covering the most effec- tive use of fertilizers on pasture crops. One important fact should be borne in mind in considering the aoQ’s nutritional needs. This fact is that while crops such as alfalfa and 'clover add to the soil’s nitrogen sup ply, they eat up its phosphorus and potash reserves.” Wfld Plants Studied For Vitamin Content Experiments to determine the Vitamin value of various wild plants have been conducted by the U. S. department of. agriculture, looking to a time when other sources of im portant vitamins might be lacking. Buffaloberry, a native fruit of the western states and one of the popu lar fruit-bearing shrubs recom mended for erosion control, proved exceptionally rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C). A generous serving of the berries was found to furnish about twice the standard daily al lowance of vitamin C. Jam made from the berries contained about two-thirds as much of this vitamin as the fresh fruit. New Hampshire-grown wild blue berries were found to contain a fail supply of vitamin C if eaten raw. Experiments showed wild rice as a good source of several B vita mins—thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinid add, and pantothenic acid. And or- dinary field mushrooms, Agaricua •ampestris, were also found to b« itch in these four B vitamins. Whole Milk Selling A quarter of a million farmers have switched from selling farm- separated cream to selling whols milk during the last five years Farm sales of whole milk at whole sale increased from 40 billion pounds average for 1935-39 to 60 billioi pounds last year, a jump of 50 pei cent. This increase was much great •r than the total gain in farm min production. It is not expected that postwar conditions will change thii picture to any degree. THE NEWHERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. ****** * '* * * * * Lunch Boxes Can Be Versatile (See Recipes Below) Lunch Box Tips Vacation times are overl Invigo rated by fresh air and tanned by the sun, children, of fice workers and defense plant em ployees are re turning to their various duties. It’s important that a healthful schedule be fol lowed after re turning to work so that the benefits of vacations are not despoiled immediately. That means, for one thing, a sensible lunch to carry both children and adults energetically through the day. Lunches, whether they’re eaten in the quiet of home, at the school desk or in a plant cafeteria, should con tain a third of the day’s food and nutritional requirements. Here’s the plan: Z or more good sandwiches H to 1 pint of milk Salad or stuffed eggs, carrot strips or celery « Dessert—pudding, cake or sweet Surprises—dates, nuts, candy, etc. Before we get into suggestions to amplify the plan, let’s first set up a list of equipment which is good to have on hand for the makings of lunch. When the lunch is an every day matter, and there are more than one to make, perhaps, it’s a good idea to get a corner of the cupboard with equipment ready so as to save time in making. A bread board with a sharp knife for cutting bread, and another knife or spatula to make the spreading of butter and fillings easy is a must. Then you need waxed paper for wrapping, string or rubber bands for tying in some cases, paper napkins, paper cups or jelly glasses with tightly fitting covers for salads, pud dings, etc., straws for dri-king, forks and spoons, individual salt and pepper cellars to tuck in the lunch box itself. In a corner of the refrigerator it self, you can keep butter for spread ing (to be taken out night before so as to be soft for spreading in the morning), fruits and vegeta bles, salads, pud dings, and jars of sandwich filling. This latter can be made at any time during the day and stored for use. Make enough to last for several days. Now, we’re ready for the business of the lunch itself. Sandwiches are first on the list. Everyone knows how to make sandwiches, but are they the kind you like to eat? Use this score card for them: 1. Is the bread fresh and moist? 2. Is there a variety of bread from day to day? 3. Is the filling palatable and Lynn Says Cookings Quickies: Whipping cream won’t whip? Pour it into a bowl and set in another bowl filled with cracked ice. Then beat and watch it whip. Use liquid from canned or cooked vegetables with which to flavor soups, gravies and casse roles. Make one crust pies instead of two crust ones. It saves time and pastry. Save dabs of butter from but ter plates. Use them for flavor ing vegetables in cooking. Don’t over-buy because foods are a bargain. Buy only those you can use. Grind bits of leftover meat, mix with softened butter or mayon naise, pickle relish, celery and a dash of catsup. Store in jars and set in refrigerator until sandwich time.

Is the filling spread out to the sides of the bread? 5. Is the sandwich well wrapped so that it is not messy and dried out by the time lunch time comes? 6. Is the filling varied from time to time? Here is a good, home-made bread to keep on your list when you are using a lot for sandwiches: Partial Whole Wheat Yeast Bread. H cup molasses 3 cups lukewarm milk 1 cup lukewarm water 4 teaspoons salt < tablespoons shortening 1 teaspoon sugar About 6 cups all-purpose flour About 6 cups whole wheat flour 2 cakes quick-acting yeast Dissolve yeast in lukewarm wa ter, add sugar.

GOLDEN TEXT—They that trust ta the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abldeth forever.—Psalm 12S:1. Position and power are important to a king, but of even greater im portance is the winning of the hearts of his people. Only as he has them with him can he build a great nation. David was the Lord’s anointed. The kingdom was his. But God ex pected him to make the necessary effort and use his own abilities to bring it into a place of honor and usefulness. God gives us all we have, but He does not shower it down on us; we must go out and possess it. . Note in the three verses that pre cede our lesson (w. 1-3) that David moved forward only after prayer and divine guidance. Little wonder that he succeeded. I. The Southern Tribes Declare Their Loyalty (2:4). The nation was divided into two parts, Judah in the south and, Israel in the north. To bring them together again called for consummate skill. David had it. When Saul had died, David showed his respect and genuine loyalty to the king by his actions and by his song of lament which we find in II Samuel 1. Then by the Lord’s leading he went to Hebron, the national capital of Judah, and there awaited the will of the people. Their declaration for David was not long in coming. They knew and respected him. He had shown him self to be their friend (I Sam. 30:26) and now they made him king. It was the first step and a long one in the right direction. II. The King Makes Friends by Being Friendly (2:5-7). The men of Jabesh-gilead, hear ing that the Philistines had killed Saul, went for his body and gave it suitable burial. This gave David occasion to show his fine spirit of appreciation, which naturally warmed the hearts of all those who had loved and followed Saul. It was excellent strategy, but at the same time it was the natural expression of a kind heart. He that would have friends must show himself friendly (Prov. 18:24). And why not? The friendly and open-hearted kindness of some Christians does more to win others to Christ than the brilliant dis courses of some cold, exclusive Christian worker. Most of the Lord’s w irk is done by ordinary people With warm hearts. Is there any reason why we cannot all be win some and attractive in Christ? III. The Northern Tribes Recog nize Their King (5:1-5). A period of seven years elapsed before this took place. The house of Saul was not willing to yield its supposed rights to the throne, and there was fighting and struggle. In it all David showed himself to be upright and considerate. There is value in gradual develop ment and in the struggle for the right. Had David found immediate success one wonders whether he would have gained the strength he needed for the future. Then came the day when Israel, the tribes of the north country, of their own accord chose to put them selves under David. Note that it was because of their regard for him (w. 1, 2) that they came to him (v. 3). That was great gain. A united people I How important that is in the affairs of the nations. Nothing is more disturbing or a greater hindrance than internal fric tion. We ought to deal quickly and decisively with any group or force in the life of our nation which is clearly divisive or disloyal. Think, then, how important it is that God’s people in the Christian Church stand together in undivided loyalty to Christ, our King, and in loving devotion to one another. IV. The King Established a Na tional Capital (5:6-10). Jerusalem, which was to be the “city of David,” and which figures so prominently not only in history but in prophecy, had to be wrested from the hands of the heathen Jebusites, and be established as the sacred city and the capital of the Jewish nation. Note that the kind and considerate king was not a weakling. He knew how to fight and to win. Verse 8 is difficult to interpret, but evidently does not mean that David was cruel. The Jebusites taunted him by saying that their blind and cripples could hold the wall against David’s men. Then they doubtless put their best soldiers on the wall, and David said to his men, “Let us take these cripples.” We see in verses 9 and 10 that David was not only a fighter, but also a builder. He began then the development of Jerusalem, the great city of which we are yet to hear wondrous things.
