THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1955 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE l MET. ROBERT H. HARPER People Left in Judah. Lessons for Jtdy 31: Jeremiah 42: lb, 3-7, 10, 19; 43: 2, 4, 7; 44: 13-18, 13. Golden Text: Ecclesiastes 3: 4. . * After the downfall of Jerusalem, Ate wretched remnant left in Ju dah came to Jeremiah and prom ised to follow his leadership ir their hard situation. But, after ten days, when the prophet bade them to dwell peaceably in the country and obey God's Law, the proud people rejected his counsel and fled into Egypt, carrying Jeremiah with them. They settled in a place called fahpanhes, where they were soon corrupted by the heathen prac- tlses of the country to which they had gone in disobedience to God's arfll and in treason to their promise to Jeremiah to remain in Judah. 7 JPor they were soon found wor shipping the moon, the so-called "queen of heaven," and taking part in the abominations of the Egyptians. This brings us to our Iasi glimpse of the “weeping prophet." Faithful to the end, he protested against the vile practises of hit apostate countrymen. They re jected the old prophet’s protest declaring they would continue ir a practice that had brought their prosperity surpassing what thej had known as worshippers of Je hovah. Thus came to apostasy and ruin the proud nation that hac known the glories of David and Solomon. Let us hold fast to th« faith that has blessed our Natior from ,the days of Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. MR. AND MRS. ROLAND HAWKINS and son, Lewis and Miss Betty Lee George spent their vacation last week at Myrtle Beach. * IT*. SS6S to la 1SK, 14Vk, ISA4, “i*. Stoa ISVfc: SVfc y«a.

ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist GRASS SILAGt At times in spring and summer pastures get ahead of cattle. The surplus growth car. then be cut and made in silage and at the same time improve the grazing that will come on there later. Clemson Experiment Station Circular 97 “Grass Silage” _ tells of the value of this roughage and just how to put it up. Ask your county agent for a copy, if inter ested. FEEDER CALF SALES The following feeder calf sales have been scheduled for September: York on the '20th; Walterboro, 27th; Lydia 28th and Columbia 23rd; Greenville 24th; Walterboro 277th; Lydia 28th and Orangeburg on the 30th. Increasing numbers of these best feeders hav^ been going out of the State the past few falls, as far as Pennsylvania, according to ouf livestock agent, L. F. Cato. This is good. We like to ' have these outside buyers so our feed ers will bring what they are worth. But that also tells us thfre might be some money in feeding these cattle out. For, if they can ship them away, feed them out, and make something out of it, why shouldn’t more of our folks do the same thing. We are in a grass cattle area. And feeding is an art that we haven’t cultivated. But that’s no reason why we shouldn’t study it and start finishing our cattle off for market. The grower of raw products usually fares rather poor ly. And that’s just what a feeder calf is, a raw product that takes care of himself on grass. Start refining him from there and you take him into another price class. And you have that valuable ma nure left for your land too. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT County and home agents f in every county are working on the general theme of community im provement. In some counties ex tra workers have been put on to push this community approach to farm and home problems. County agent Rogers of Flor ence tells me they have 5 such communities they are doing con? centra ted work in. Each of these has secured an abandoned school house which they' are improving as a community center. There are many of these aban doned school houses over the State, good buildings, that are being taken over as community centers. Surely there is no more worthy use to which they could be put. Up in Oconee, Agent Mor gan tells me they have secured a nice one, along with the teach- erage, as a 4-H club center for the county. These fine old facilities, now being abandoned in so many cases should not be allowed to fall into disuse and decay. And they sure will go down fast if not used. SOIL SAMPLES The past spring over 1200 sam ples of soil from prospective to bacco fields were sent to Clemson by the county agent’s office in Florence for testing. County Ag ent Rogers digested these and found them to be high in phos phorous and low in potash. Most of them to showed a pH a little high for tobacco land. Just what does all this mean? Well, it means that liberal fer tilization with potash is needed. And to help correct the pH that’s getting too high, they need to use an acid-forming fertilizer. In this complex agriculture of today, there are a lot of things like that we have to watch if we are to get highest yields of qual ity crops. TAGGED FISH—TAGS WANTED Our wildlife folks have tagged a lot of Roch Fish (striped bass) and released them in the Santee- Cooper reservoirs and tailrace. Anyone catching these fish are urged to return the tag, to our Wildlife Resources Department 'Box 300, Columbia. That will aid greatly _in their study of this gamefish that seems to have just of late adapted itself ta fresh water. THIS WEEK This is National Farm Safety Week. - “Your Safety Is In Your Hands" is the theme. Do your part and live longer. • ■ ■' ■ ■ -— Recent Births At County Hospital Recent births at the Newberry County Memorial Hospital in clude: Mr. and Mrs. Bennie C.

The thoughts and deeds of every man and woman will invariably reflect in some way the training he or she received in youth. That is why parents, ndw as always, have such a grave respon sibility in their children’s tender and adolescent years. It is a proven fact that an individual's character and outlook on life as a whole is formed during ,fhe$$ years. No well thinking parents will intentionally let their children be led astray by the many evil forces at work in the world Today. However unintentional negligence can in many cases do the job as quick ly and as thoroughly. We urge you, the parents of these young sters whose future is at stake, not to neglect their spiritual lives. Attend Sunday School and Church this Sunday and every Sunday and take them along with you. , - - r Jk "v • * _____ _ V. ^ This Religious Message Sponsored 1 By The Following Firms: Epting Automotive Service, Inc. —Jobbers— v Delco AC General Motors PHONE 924 Saluda Frozen Food Center FREEZER FOOD SERVICE 1006 Main St. Phone 897 Western Auto Assoc.
