Now is time to plant that part intended principally for harvesting. However, It can be grazed some in late winter and early spring without hurt usually. With extremely short grazing and skimpy feed crops the past summer, we are going to ever more need the present grazing and grain crops. We can see now that winter winds will whistle through jnany an empty barn, while hungry cattle are lowing in the bleak outside. And unless there Is some grazing across the fence, they will be hard to carry through. Recent dry falls and rather cold winters have made old Ab- ruzzi rye stand out. It grows quick er and faster than the other sorts, and seems to make more growth in weather too cold for the rest. But be sure you get genuine Abruzzi. For there are other ryes not nearly as good for winter grazing here. And talking about grain; we grow a lot of it now. And our yields are up a lot too from where they formerly were. We have live stock, poultry, turkeys, etc., that we market it through. That calls for storage, safe storage, so we can get loans on it, if needed. Or if we plan to sell it, the* buyer doesn't want a year’s supply at once. So it’s storage we need now. There is some good commercial -storage, like the million bushel elevators at Estill. And farmers at places, like Florence, have banded together and put in their own cooperative storage. Then many others have put in on-the-farm storage recently. There is some government loan help on that. Ask your county agent about it. May and June will be here before you know it. Too late to worry about safe storage then. Many farmers have paid for metal bins with pro fits from storing one or two crops of grain. A TEXAS STORY I never go down in Texas but that I hear a few good ones. On my last trip, they were talking about planting cotton. The county agent said they had a few fellows who always planted too early. (Wfe have ’em here too.) He said they worked out a way to save those fellows some money. They just don’t put any seed in-the planter the first time the^ plant. Maybe I told you about the northern woman on a train down there remarking about the buz zards we saw sailing/over the dry lands out there. A Texas lady in the group said, “In Texas we call those sparrows.” And the man in the drought area got uneasy a))out the quality of water in his well. He sent a sample of it off to be tested. The report came back showing only 30 percent moisture in it. At one place they hadn’t had any appreciable rain in 4 years. Now when they spe^c of a three inch rain they mean the drops fell three inches apart. And so the Texas tales go, al ways refreshing. FARM COMPLICATIONS Farming sure ' can’t be done with a forked stick any more. Mod ern machines and complicated techniques enter at every turn now. Take peaches for instance.

Phone 155 !f!P1HPR Bible Comment: Christianity Must Spread Outside Home QNE of the greatest problems ^ of present-day life and so ciety Is that of the hone. It Is constantly emphasized that at the root of juvenile de linquency is poor homelife, with lack of parental, guidance and control, and often serious de linquencies In the parents them selves. Nor are such parental delinquencies confined to the poor, illiterate and underpriv- iieged. Careless, self-indulgent and undisciplined parents, rich and poor alike, must bear their share of responsibility, but there is an all-too-common tendency to blame parents for everything. The finest home has to contend with forces and influences out side of the home that tend to offset all that it can do, and these outside influences have youth for longer periods than the home itself. O ■ A more serious factor, how ever, is the low standards of conduct that are so widely preva lent today. We live in a so- called Christian land, and all our religious 'institutions try to typify ’ wholesome ideals, evi denced in character and conduct. Unfortunately, without being pessimistic about it, or disre garding wholesome Influence of all these institutions, we must face the fact that a widespread secularism, materialism and low morality is all too evident. And this debasement of ideals seems to have increased in recent years- If youth could be surrounded by the Christian standards and ideals outside, as well as inside the home, our problems would not be nearly so acute. came there for many years. In sects, diseases, and commercial re quirements eventually broke that up. New and better sorts came, and chemicals protected them. Now comes hydra -cooli ng. Peaches are allowed to get tree ripe, chilled, and kept that way to distant markets. Irrigation too is entering the picture, to insure the size and quality that sells best. But both of these new things, hydra-cooling and irrigation, cost considerably. But tj>ey also pay well. I know two rather small farmers in Spartanburg who got together and provided both of these things at the cost of one. One put in the hydra-cooler and thb other the irrigation equipment. Then each used and benefited from both. A good many expensive farm operations can. be handled that way. Combining and haying, for instance. Neighborliness and the right attitudes are all that’s need ed. SAILORS’ PATRON . . . Being lowered 100 feet lute sea at San Frnttiose Di Camegli, Italy, is Si- ton bronse statue, “Christ of the Abysses,** dedicated te world's seafaring men. TN RECENT years we Americans have become more and more concerned with ‘loyalty.” The word wasn’t coined during World War n, but it has been used more in the f past ten years than in a prob able hundred years before. In these times, maybe it's wise, to be loy alty-conscious. I can’t say; all I know I read in the papers. Yet, I’ve been amused at some of our slightly disloyal citizens for years. Don’t get me wrong. I haven’t known any spies or sabo teurs. I refer tq folks who aren’t loyal to “the old home town.” I met a million during the war. Long did I labor undei* the impres sion that I was probably the only small town boy in the Marine Corps. The others came from Chi cago. Pittsburgh, New Orleans, New Yoi;k. It worried me, ‘until I just happened to notice that these fellows -dot their mail from ham lets and smaller cities 50 or '00 miles from the metropolis they called “home.” I still meet these disloyal citi zens. An up-and-coming executive or businessman telle me he’s from a town of, let’s say 20,000 popula tion. A life-long friend later whis pers he’s actually from Junction Switch, population 266, where he was born, raised and educated. The only time he ever spent in the city he claims as home was on Saturday nights. The thing that peeves me, too, is ‘the realization that one of these days, should this guy make his mark in the world, he will also make a million bucks from a book about his early life in Junction Switch. It isn’t fair to the 199 loyal Junc tion Switchers who have claimed him all along.

ELEAZER II IMII I lH I was the youngest of three. A sister was oldest, then a brother, and me. They tell me I was never mean as a kid, but had one bad hkbit, that I got several whippings for. When we had. our kid scraps, they being the older hid the ad* vantage. They would make me mad and I’d use the only weapoh I knew of. I’d kick them in their shins. Now, with the soft childhood shoes of today, that wouldn’t be so bad. But we wore little brog&ns then, hard stiff shoes that made even a light kick rather nasty, specially on the shin-bone. Once pur parents were away for the night. Late that afternoon we got in some sort of scrap. I kick ed a few shins. They double- teamed and gave me i good beat; ing. That made me madder and I still wanted to hurt them. Since I couldn’t kick their shins, I at tempted to run away, knowing that would eventually worry them. I went and sat out at the wood- pile awhile, as dusk was falling. When they were not looking, I slipped down behind the wild plum bushes and hid. As it got darker, I saw them looking around for me. Then they called. There was no wrath In their voices then. Soon they were just about frantic. I let them soak for awhile. Then it was getting a bit too dark for my com fort too. So I sneaked around to the front, went upstairs, ahd to bed. They heard me and were at ease again. Next morning the sky was bright, and the birds were singing. We were too. For, thanks be, kids can s so soon forget. And they didn’t even tell on me when our parents returned. \ k-ap- — v - I FAILLE IN PRETTY FALL tin** r , m 79c per yard •**! it ■Kk . ap-'&y i w.
