Now when you consider the fact that we were already the heaviest user of fertilizer those figures loom even larger. The past fiscal year we used 975,021 tons of fer tilizers of all sorts. That cost a lit tle over 50 million dollars. This is about a fourth of what our com bined cotton and tobacco crops brought. So it looks like we are share cropping with the fertilizer man. But surely that is not bad. For what’s left after the fertilizer bill is paid Is a lot more than we would have if we hadn’t gone to that expense. With barnyard ma nures so nearly gone, in this me chanical age, it is frightening to contemplate what our fate would be now without the power that’s packed in bags of fertilizer. Since we are spending such p, fabulous fund for fertilizers each year, it is of utmost importance that we know all we can about their most effective us^e. And that’s what makes the fertilizer plots at our experiment stations and the field trials and demonstrations put on by the county agents so im portant. For we are dealing with big stakes in this fertilizer thing, and to do it ignorantly would bring about wastage indeed. WEED CONTROL 1 Does your present grain crop have a lot of weeds in it? Thistle and wiM mustard grew into a real menace while our grain acreage was doubling in recent years. Then science developed the weed spray. County agents dem onstrated it some years ago. It 'tsar %: ; g| GETS ST. ELOI PRIZE . . .. Capt. Valerie Andre, French woman army doctor who flew own helicopter in aiding Indo China wounded, was named year’s outstanding woman by Paris jury. spread. And now the once familiar sight of fields yellow with bloom ing mustard or choked with thistle, there where grain was in tended, has become rare indeed. Clemson worked up simple spray rigs mounted behind a tractor. These were demonstrated at many a field meeting back in the mid- forties. The material used really cleaned the weeds out of the grain, not hurting the grain. Many cus tom outfits operated and still op erate, where needed. County Agent Cain says 35,000 acres of grain in Calhoun county was thus sprayed the past spring. Not that the weeds are so bad now, but there are a few, and they aim to keep ’em out entirely. And many other agents tell of vast spraying operations in their counties too. If weeds, specially thistle and mustard, are getting on your land, remember next winter to see your county agent. He can give you the details for getting them out. ^ IRRIGATION PAYS From every Southeastern state comes the story of profits from ir rigation. Mississippi had a three-year test of it on sweet corn. Despite the fact that about normal rainfall came, for those three years the irrigation more than doubled the yield of marketable corn. Irrigated corn averaged 1083 dozen market able ears per acre while identical un irrigated areas averaged 501 dozen. They also tried it at different spacings. On the dryest year the thicker the spacing the more corn they made on the irrigated parts and the less on that not irrigated. This brings out an important point. To get the most out of ir rigation, we have a whole new agriculture to learn. For we must buiM up a big yield potential there for that added water to work with. But the average yield due to irrigation, irrespective of ferti lizer and spacing, was more than doubled.

Yet Matthew, a customs official, gave up handsome receipts to follow Jesus and later become a saint and apostle. He does not appear so promi nently in the narrative incidents, but he was destined to be the greatest recorder of the sayings of Jesus. It is to him that we owe the three glorious chapters of his gospel that we call the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would bring to the remembrance of the disciples all things that He had said to them. Surely this was verified by so amazing an achievement of listening, re membering and recording as Matthew has given. Here in these three chapters is set forth the nature of the Kingdom, which Jesus said was among men, but not of this world. Here is its constitution, its prin ciples, its way of life. Here is the heart of the Gospel. The parable of God’s love, in the story of the Prodigafl Son, and of human brotherhood in the story of the Good Samaritan, and the accompanying parables, are but amplifications and exemplifi cations of all that the Sermon on the Mount teaches and im plies. It is a sermon for this world, if not of this world. At almost every point the principles of ac tion and motives that commonly actuate men are challenged: It is more blessed to give than to receive; love is better than hate, and man by his own spirit of forgiveness defines the nature and the measure of the forgive ness that he seeks—“Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debt ors.” It might all seem visionary and impractical but the fact is that nan y have lived it and demon- - "oted it bi action. EXPOSED! A smear campaign is being conducted against George Bell Timmerman, Jr., candidate for Gov ernor. A reproduction of an editorial page of the Lighthouse and Informer, Columbia Negro news paper which is the mouthpiece for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is being circulated behind Timmerman's back. It falsely accuses Timmerman of advocating mixed schools in South Carolina. THAT is the BIG LIE. Here are the facts: April 17—The Lighthouse and Informer, edited by Mo- jeska Simkins, state secretary of the NAACP, printed an editorial condemninq George Bell Timmerman, Jr.* The editorial ridiculed his plan to keep separate schools in South Carolina. April 24—The Lighthouse and Informer again attacked Timmerman and his plan for separate schools and praised his opponent, Mr. Bates. April 26—Speaking at Kingstree, Timmerman denounced the NAACP and disolayed copies of the Lighthouse and Informer in which he was ridiculed and Bates praised. Timmerman cited the NAACP block vote in Ward 9 in Columbia, which is 90 per cent Negro, showing that in the 1950 Governor's race Bates received 1176 votes aaainst a total of only 132 for his three opponents. Timmerman declared publicly and in the presence of Bates that the NAACP and the Lighthouse and Informer are suoporting Bates. This Bates did not deny. April 27, 28, 29—Timmerman again denounced the NAACP and publicly in the presence of Bates stated that Bates has the support of the NAACP and the Lighthouse and Informer. This Bates did not deny. April 30—In an editorial postdated May 1 the Light house and Informer, with Communistic cunning, pre tended that Timmerman favored mixed schools. Speaking in Charleston that night, Timmerman de nounced this editorial as the "big lie of the cam paign/' He emphatically stated his opposition to mix ed schools. He declared that "the NAACP has de generated into a subversive organization in South Carolina and lives and breathes the big Ke." And he again publicly and in the presence of Bates stated that Bates has the support of the NAACP and the Lighthouse and Informer. This Bates did not deny. May 1—James M. Hinton, state president of the NAACP, attacked Timmerman's statement and said he would ' ask the U. S. Attorney General to investigste the charges against the NAACP. A . May 3—Timmerman, at a news conference in Colum bia, issued a statement supporting his charges against the NAACP. He refuted the charge of Mojeska Sim kins, acting editor of the Lighthouse and Informer, , that he advocated mixed schools. He stated: 'The editor knew that was a lie. People of South Carolina who have heard me speak day after day knew it was a lie. I knew, however, that a little later copies of that falsehood would be circulated. I described these tactics then and describe them now as subversive." "Mojeska Simkins is known in Communist circles as Mrs. Andrew W. Simkins ... has been investigated by the Committee on Un-American Activities of the United States House of Representatives. This is a matter of public record which can be ascertained by communicating with the Congressmen‘from South Carolina. . . . She has been connected with many organizations which have been branded by the Con gressional Committee and by the Attorney General of the United States as subversive and communistic." "For my part, I do not want the support of the Lighthouse and Informer, Mojeska Simkins, J. M. Hinton or the NAACP. I expect to be Governor and I would not want to be under obligation to them." May 12, 13, 14—Timmerman again denounced the NAACP Jnd publicly and in the presence of Bates stated that Bates has the support of the NAACP and the Lighthouse and Informer. This Bates did not deny. May 15—The smear sheet which has been circulated widely over the State made its appearance. It is a full reproduction of the editorial page of the Light house and Informer of May 1 with the editorial pre tending to praise Timmerman. This smear sheet does not show who reproduced it or who circulated it. im. STOP AND THINK. You know this smear sheet is not circulated by Mr. Timmerman's support ers. So it must be circulated by supporters of Mr. Bates who are trying to deceive the people and split the white vote. The citizens must decide who shall control the Government of South Carolina. Do they wont as Governor a man who would owe a political debt to Mojeska Simkins, the Lighthouse and Informer, James M. Hinton or the NAACP? Mr. Timmerman has publicly said he does net wort support of any of them. He has repeatedly denounced and repudiated them. This Bates has not clone. Is Bates ashamed to admit NAACP support or afraid to deny it?
