J. Gill convinced a New berry county farmer, Eugene Gra ham, thatf he could grow tobacco in this county. Graham grew .7 acre of aromatic tobacco with a yield of 839 pounds. This tobacco brought a 10 per cemt bonus, giv ing a total of $689.10 and a net profit of $621.20, giving an aver age of .82 per pound. Four years later, on Monday morning, October 17, 1965, 25 to bacco farmers sold 6,164 pounds of aromatic tobacco valued at $4,- 192.98. This tobacco, raised in Newberry county, was sold to the Southeastern Aromatic Tobacco Company of Anderson, with prices ranging from 20c a pound on the lower leaves of the plant to $1,37 a pound on the top leaves. Thus interest in tobacco farming has progressed rapidly during the past five years, with growers increas ing from 1 in 1961, 4 in 1952, 9 in 1953, 12 in 1954 to 25 this year. Mrs. Julia Wheeler, of Little Mountain was t^e most put stand ing grower tjhis y^ar.^^rJg.^Wbgeler planted which she gathered 231 pQjinds and sold it tor $345.52, giving an average of $1.06 per pound. M^ps. Wheeler’s average last year was $1.08?: per pound, ■' * There are two growers who tied for second place average at $1 per pound. They are Miss Etta Hart of - $4$tlej MbUhtain, who grew 153 pounds on* one-fourth of an acre whiclrwid for $153.62 and Mrs. Mary Jefferson of Route 4, Newtje^ry,* who grew 130 pounds on one-fourth of an acre which sold for $130.79. Roscoe Lindler of Route one. Prosperity, was third with an average of .92 per pound. He grew 411 pounds on one-fourth of an acre which sold for $378.79. Eugene Graham of Route one, Silverstreet, was the largest grow er in the county with 2.5 acres. He gathered 1381 pounds of cured tobacco which sold for $1,137.07, giving an average of .89 cents per pound and a fourth-place average. Agent Gill says he is very much pleased with the increase of to bacco growers in the county. He feels that there will be a contin ued increase in growers each year. Agent Gill also says that aromatic tobacco ia one of the most profitable diversified crops for cotton farmers in the Pied mont section. lEtj? 54CE. REV ROBERT H. HARPER Spresd of the Good Nows. Lesson for November 27: Lstke 8. *. 4-8, 9: 1-6. Golden Text: Luke 10: 2. i The method of Jesus in his min stry was one of practical wisdom \nd we find that it is imitated to lay in many activities of life, cer ;ainly in the churches and even it business and public affairs. Where It is lacking in Christian work, the churches suffer and decline. It was the method of Jesus tc make his teaching so plain that all might understand. Hie speak er is to tnfinrm his hearers and to inspire In a given course, and aot to demonstrate his own gr^eat learning. Thus Jesus began earlj a his ministry to use the parabls in his tehching—on the day that ae spoke from a ship at Caper naum on the Sea of Galilee. When the disciples asked him why he used parables, he told them it was to enable the people the bet ter to understand the things oi Sod. It was further the method oi Jesus to train his disciples not mly In. the words he spoke but also hi his way of proclaiming it Sa cellad the disciples together, gave them the power of healing, and aent them forth to preach. Today, wa arc promised the pres ence and the power of the Holy Spirit in our labors. We are sent to men to Jesus. So may we be about our Father’s business, for the field of men is vast, and the laborers are all too few. N*. *474 u eat In sites 10, IS, 14, IS, 18, SO, SS, 38, 40. Site 18: Jnmper, SVfe yds. •4-4*.

Early Mailing Urged By Moose “It’s time to start those Christ mas mailings!” Postmaster Harry H Moose warned today, launching his 1955 Mail Early For Christmas campaign. I “On the calendar it’s a month away but here in the postoffice it’s Christmas today—and every day until December 25,” he said. Extra mail carriers and office help have been secured, the delivery trucks serviced, Postoffice ink wells filled and in fact everything is ready for the mammoth flood of Christmas mail that is expected to smash all records. The postoffice has already dis patched a tremendous quantity of gift packages headed for members of the armed forces oversea3.^ Christmas cards fer service per sonnel can still be delivered in time if they are sent by air mail before December 1. In the U. S. A. smart people are now mailing gifts to friends and relatives liv ing in other states. Postmaster Moose especially specially calls on housewives to help in his effort to deliver every package and Christmas card be fore December 25. “The lady ' of the house,” he emphasized, is really in charge of each family’s Christmas mailing program. She selects the Christmas cards, buys most of,the gifts and sees to it that the mailing list of friends and loved ones is up-to-date. “Actually, success in having all Christmas gifts and greeting cards delivered on time is largely a mat ter of advance planning and prep aration which should he done this week,’ Postmaster Moose pointed out. • He urges you to take the fol lowing steps at <ince: Get out your Christmas card list and carefully check through it Make sure that each address in cludes the full name, street and number, city, zone and state. Then pay a visit to the postoffice, stock up on stamps (use 3c stamps on your Christmas cards for first- class mail service and ask any questions you may have about mailing regulations. You can do this in a leisurely way if you will come to the post- office between 11:30 A. M. and 3:30 p. m. thus missing the rush hours. On the way home pick up a supply of heavy wrapping paper, sturdy empty cartons, strong cord and kraft paper adhesive tape. A modest investment in these nec essities will pay big dividends in safe delivery of your cherished Christmas gifts. After your gift wrapping and packaging is complete, plan your mailings so that those for the most distant points go first Shealy-Oxner Miss Genell Shealy of Newberry and Harvey W.
