fas'' cv THE NEWBERRY SUN THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1954 Rev. Robert H. Harper mnd Nicodemus: John 3: I‘16 Gold** Text: John 3: 16 Nicodemus Is known as the man wko came to Jesus by night, and aaany have believed he was afraid to come by day. But later he coop* •rated with Joseph of Arimathaea jm laying the body of Jesus away though one of the teachers ol larael. he was greatly in need of MlC’taught. And he was humble enough to come to Jesus for in struction. He could not understam how a man could be born again And there are many to the presen time who have never learned th< •ray and the how of the new birth A great preacher in London, hear ing the celebrated young Summer- field preach, afterward asked the young man where he had been bom “In Dublin and in Liverpool.” was the answer. “How can that be?*’ the great preacher asked Summerfield replied with a ques tion. in the words of Jesus in speaking to Nicodemus, “Art thou a master in Israel and knowest not these things?” By faith in Christ, men may be hern again and enter into new life for the soul. Reader, do you trust in Jesus as the savior of your soul? John Wesley was long without the assurance that he was the re deemed child of God. a new-born «ww But in his memorable experi ence in the Aldersgate Street Church in London, as one was read- faf the Scripture, he felt his heart strangely warmed, and was given the assurance that God for Christ’s had forgiven his sins and made him an heir of everlasting life. Let us find such an assurance through our faith in Jesus Christ, the Savior of men. REMEMBER" BY THE OLD TIMERS From T. J. Shaffer, Caldwell, Idaho: Allow me to add to your collection of Old Timers. I am one of them, as I was hatched at Miller Missouri. 76 years ago on June 29. Do you remember the phonograph that didn’t have any hem? We would pay a nickel, put the tubes in our ears and listen to the music. Whenever we went to picnics, those were the good old days. There were 13 of us kids in the family. Families came from miles around and spread their dinner out on the ground. Best of all, they gave away a 100-pounds of green coffee to the largest family and we always got the coffee. In those days, they parched their own coffee and ground it. Could tell a lot more if I had the space, but will close and say “hurrah” for old Missouri. If it is like it was when I left there in 1898. 1 would be there. From an Old Timer, Memphis. Tennessee: I remember when the mighty Mississippi River was truly the “king.” A river pilot was a man of distinction, even of fame, if he was truly master of the surly, ever-changing Mississippi. People who lived and worked in the Southern lowlands respected the mighty water as a threat that might anytime become a swirling mass of destruction, lashing out across the land to uproot and de stroy the things man so laboriously built with his hands. The chains of steel and concrete that now bind this mighty giant make him a servant and we old timers wonder if he is content to be so.

ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist The two-dollar bill used to have a bad reputation, but today it is the only one that will pay for a dollar’s worth of anything. Attention Farmers! Give that grazing crop a “shot in the Arm” with some Chilean Nitrate of Soda for quick results. Time to put it on Bar ley, too. Most of us wait too late. We also have some A. N. & L. It’s not too early to put that on any grain crop. For Prices See rr.m . t f ■ J NEWBERRY MILLING AND DISTRIBUTING CO.

But now they do. Our farm marketings of poultry products now amount to more than those from cattle and hogs com bined. And who’da thought that! Yes, the old ben and her brood are not spectacular. But they are popular. And you’ll find ’em everywhere. Add all of their lit tle bits together, and you have a giant whole. And it is growing fast, specially the broiler part. Clemson has long worked with poultry. Demonstration flock rec ords for years have pointed the way to profits from poultry. Ex- tensibn poultry and turkey spec ialist have worn paths to poultry projects in every quarter. The 4-H boys and girls have pioneered from the very start in this. Early they learn the fundamentals in their club demonstrations. And many of them grow into practical poul- trymen by the time they are on their own. I’ve just looked over the dem onstration flock records for the past year hene In P. H. Gooding’s office. The leading flock in egg production in that group is that of Mrs. G. L. Strong of Williams burg county. Her 249 White Leg horn hens averaged 232.5 eggs each the past year. And, folks, that’s good in anybody’s language. Next was the 800 flock of Par- menter Reds belonging to W. H. Moody of Kline, Barnwell county. They averaged 228.1 eggs for the year, according to County Agent Shelley. Then came the 822 White Rocks of Robert Robich of Dillon, with an average of 205.3, and Miss Edith Coleman of Fairfield, whose 225 New Hampshire Reds averag ed laying 205.3 eggs for the year. So, hail the hen! She is con tributing a lot to the farm folks of the state. And a good part about her is she is small enough for the Smallest operator. Clemson has many helps in the this week patterns form of bulletins on poultry pro duction that are free from your county or home agent. x COASTAL BERMUDA In late October County Agent Johnson of Beaufort said: “Growth was checked on the 125 acres of Coastal Bermuda planted in February and March on Bill’s Island Plantation at Bluffton. A herd of 45 registered Santa Ger- trudis cattle has grazed this area since June. During that time ap proximately a ton and a half of hay per acre was cut from it. This new grass is very promising. in our area.” Every county in the state had similar demonstration plantings of this grass last winter and spring. And in most cases the growth the past summer, which was very dry, was phenomenal. Our pasture men, Woodle and Turner, think a lot of if. And so do the farmers I’ve seen who have tried it. SCIENCE IN THE TOBACCO FIELD , Science, the very latest in science, has sure taken hold of to bacco fields in our state of late. And, man, look where the yields and the quality have gone! This awakening was surely started by H. A, McGee, when he came as Clemson’s extension ’to bacco specialist in 1932. He car ried the latest in science to every nook and corner of t^e tobacco area, through the local county agents, until he retired a few years ago. And since then that work has been ably carried on by J. M. Lewis. County Agent McCord of Georgetown tells me that interest is keen among tobacco growers there for treating plant beds against both weeds and nematodes, and also the fields too against the latter pest. And they are more in terested in their soil condition, and in the use of acid-forming fer tilizer, where soils are too sweet for best tobacco growth. And the other agents in the tobacco counties will tell me the same story. Details for doing all of those things are readily available there from your county agent. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M.

My broth er was an inveterate hunter. When I was about 14 and he 17 we had a good snow just before day. That made prime rabbit hunting, for a track meant a rabbit was near. He didn’t have anyone else to go with him; so he prevailed on me. We cut burlap bags into three- inch strips and wrapped our shoes and legs to the knee. We had no leggins, boots, nor rubbers then. And out we lit. He made me take a gun too. That morning he did the finest shooting I had ever seen. We saw the tracks of 10 rabbits up to noon, When we came home for dinner. He got every one of them with the first shot. Some of them were in rough terrain too, and re quired a quick shot. He tried to make me take some of the easy shots. But I wouldn’t. I knew when his gun cracked there would be more meat for the) pot. While mine was sure to just result in noise. As we were nearing the house, up through the orchard, I saw a track a?d called to him. He told me he wasn’t coming, for me to shoot that one myself. I tracked it to a small low pine bush. And back under that shelter he sat. I was so close that it would have torn him up to shoot, that is, if I had hit him, a possibility for which I was not at all sure. I broke out in a cold sweat. Not trusting my marksmanship, I grabbled down in the snow for THE STORY OF PATSY WALTER 16 BUYING A POWER LAWN MOWER.6INC we're BURNING coal, again, we get real savings IN EHJE-L BUT WONT THAT BE A JOB- TAKING CARE OF FURNACE 7> NOT A BIT OF ITl^ HARRY DOES WHAT LITTLE WORK IS TO BE DONE AND I YOU SEE WERE BURNING PURE PATSY coal - THERES HARDLY ANY ASHES AT ALL - * PATSY IS CALLED " THE LAZY MANS FUEL*' AND COM PORTABLE-SAY’ BUY PATSY FROM: Farmers Ice & Fuel Co.

They were easy to find in our stone hills. ‘You could just about shut your eyes and reach down anywhere and get one. The one I happened to get was a flat one about the size of a saucer. I aimed at that rabbit with my left hand, drew back with my right, and let- him have It. That flat rock hit him all over at the same time, stunning him. I piled in and got him. By the time my brother got there, that rabbit had come to in my hands. A swift whack back of its ears dispatched him and we went on home with 11 rabbits, a record kill for our gang. E.
