Precinct Meetings Set For February 25
This is an important year for South Carolina and for the
Nation because, in addition to other things, it is Presiden
tial election year. We should remember that democratic
processes by which candidates are nominated for President
start at our own doorsteps.
If you want to have a voice in the selection by the Dem
ocratic party, you should attend your Democratic precinct
meeting on Saturday, February 25.-Delegates will be elected
from the precincts to attend the County Conventions and
delegates from the County conventions on March 3 will be
elected to the State Democratic Convention in Columbia
on March 21.
The* delegates elected at the State Convention to repre
sent South Carolina’s Democratic Party at the National
Convention in Chicago in July will have a very serious and
important task.
Two-Thirds Rule Needed
South Carolina delegates should go to Chicago determ
ined to seek re-adoption by the Convention of the rule
which would require a vote of two-thirds of the delegates
to nominate the Democratic candidate. The adoption of the
two thirds rule would make it possible to prevent the nomi
nation of a person who is antagonistic to the views of the
South. ASlso, the South would have a strong voice in party
matters again and Southern views would be recognized
in the party platform.
Some elements of the National Democratic party have
made political capital of the segregation issue, just as have
members of the other major political party. South Carolina
must send delegates to Chicago who are prepared to. fight
against this radical faction of the Democratic party.
Tribute To A Great Woman
On Thursday,! had the honor of paying tribute to the
memory of a great .American and one of the outstanding
women of her generation—Frances Elizabeth Willard. I
addressed the annual gathering of Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union leaders who assembled in the Capitol’s Stat
utory Hall to observe Miss Willard’s heavenly birthday. Miss
Willard is the only woman represented in Statuary Hall.
Her devoted service to the world has, perhaps, best been
summarized in this brief paragraph by Shelby M. Cullom:
“The world has been better because Frances E. Willard
lived. She devoted her life unselfishly to the cause of human
ity, and she brought sobriety into the homes of countless
thousands; and at her death she left an organization that
has been and will continue to be a potent factor for good
in the world.”
REV. ROBERT H. HARPER
Teachings on Stewardship.
Lesson for February 26: Luke 19:
12-26.
Golden Text: Luke 16: 10.
Jesus speaks of a certain noble
man who went into a far country
to receive a kingdom and to return.
This may have been an actual oc
currence with which the people
were familiar. Incidents like it
were known of a man going to Rome
to receive from the emperor the
rulership of some portion of the
empire.
It was certainly a reference to
Jesus himself and the events that
awaited him and to the time that
would intervene between the mo
ment and the time of his second
coming.
The all-important thing before us
is the matter of our own living
and our loyalty to Jesus until his
return. We read that a certain
nobleman gave unto each of his
servants a pound. To every man
are committed certain duties and
responsibilities and opportunities.
The doctrine of stewardship is
clearly taught by the Master. Un
like the parable of the talents, the
parable we are considering shows
that each man received the same
amount. But what a difference
there was in the use and develop
ment of the pounds! The man who
had done nothing at all with his
pound was roundly condemned
and his pound was taken away
from him.
All we have comes from God
and he shall one day demand of
us an accounting, not only of our
use of material things but also of
our talents of mind and heart and
our time.

Israeli Cotton Better Than Ours
(By Curtis E. Wallace, Laurens
County)
(Editor’s Note: This is Curtis
sixth article about farm life in
Israel, where he has been visiting
since June as a delegate in the
International Farm Youth Ex
change.)
The last time I wrote I believe
I was at Nahalal. So I will con
tinue from there.
One day my host father, Joel,
carried me on a trip to see some
cotton. He had never seen cotton
himself; so it was really more of
an experience for him than for
me.
We went first to the fields,
where we saw the cotton growing.
An American, Sam Hamburg, of
California, introduced cotton to
Israel two years ago. On the trip
we visited his farm and observed
his cotton fields. The cotton is
irrigated and grows to be about
four to five feet tall. It was spac
ed about 24 ins. apart in the row
with two stalks growing together
in a hill. The rows were one me
ter or just a little over a yard
apart. There was a perfect stand
as far as I could see. Each stalk
had about 15 grown bolls on it
plus blooms and squares which
the man said would make cotton.
The picking season lasts about
two and a half dbonths.
They were still irrigating the
cotton, and they were spraying
poison on the cotton with a ma
chine on high wheels even though
the cotton was in the process of
being picked. The boll weevil
hasn’t got here yet, but the boll-
worm gives a lot of trouble.
I asked theman about the yield
of cotton per acre, and he said
they would get about three to
four tons per acre. To make sure
I didn’t misunderstand him, I
asked him again. That meant 1,-
500 pounds, or a little more, of
ginned ‘cotton to the acre.
After seeing cotton growing in
the fields, we visited a gin. It
was the same kind of gin as we
have back home. Big trailers with
wire-mesh bodies are used t o
bring the cotton to the gin.
In conversation with the men
who work with the USOM (The
United States Operation Missions)
here, I found the average produc
tion yield to be about two t o
two and a half bales per acre.
These men also said that avery
good grade of cotton was produc
ed in Israel.
Although we grow cotton back
home that I think is very good,
I will have to admit that the cot
ton I have seen in Israel is the
best. It just shows what water,
at the right time, can do.
After my stay at Nahalal, the
time came to move to another
kind of settlement at Moledeth.
which is a “moshav shitifu.” At
Moledeth the people live separ
ately with their families as in a
moshav, but they work collective
ly as in a kibbutz. So this type
of setlement may be called a col
lective moshav or a kibbutz o t
families. I did not live with a
family but in a type of barracks.
I ate with a certain family and
(iould go and read or listen to
the radio at their home any time
I wanted to.
While at Moledeth, it worked in
the olive groves, drove a tractor
combining beans, and helped with
cutting silage for cows. It was a
real experience picking olives, as
I had never seen an olive tree be
fore I came to Israel. And I really
enjoyed driving a tractor again. I
worked with Raffie cutting silage
of sorghum and beans for the
cows. Aften we fed this silage to
the cows, we chopped up some
cactus. The cows seemed to like
this cactus very much.
We met many Elnglish-speaking
people at this place. They were
interested in our farms back
home, in Our 4-H clubs, and how
we were selected to become IFYE.
When we left Moledeth, And
reas, the farm manager, told Dr.
Sheffer (the Israeli minister of
agriculture who has been respon
sible for placing us IFYEs) some
thing in Hebrew. Later we asked
him what Andreas had said. He
told us he had said that we didn’t
talk much with our hands. He
then asked us if we knew why the
Israeli people talked so much
with their hands. Of course w e
didn’t know, and he told us it was
to brush the flies from t heir
faces. It is amazing to watch the
hand motions in a heated conver
sation. You would think t h e y
would be fighting any minute.
Then we were at Beit Hanan,
a moshav located in the coastal
plain. Here they raise the famous
Joppa oranges. The soil is a sandy
loam to a clay loam, and it is
very suited to oranges. Besides
oranges, they also raise many
peanuts.
At this place I lived with a
family named Kut Frank. This
family had about IGOO laying hens
and a very nice orange grove on
30 dunam of land (about 8 acres.)
The poultry houses were located
in the heart of the orange groves.
My work consisted of feeding
the hens, gathering eggs, and
working in the fields. Just after
breakfast we would feed the hens
and gather the eggs. Then my
host father and I would go to ir
rigate the orange grove, irrigate
plowed ground, prune trees, or
cut green feed or corn for the
cows.
In the afternoons I usually took
a nap or visited some of the many
young people here my age. We
saw several movies while we
were at Beit Hanan. The young
people always included us three
IFYEs when they went to differ
ent places or when they were just
talking.
I made many friends among the
small children here. There was
one girl who knew English and
she usually translated for us.
They hated to see me leave, and I
must say 1 hated to leave.
Before we knew it, we were
packing our bags getting ready to
move again.
The people in Israel have been
very hospitable and enjoy seeing
what an American is actually like.
I just hope that 1 am making a
good impression and living like
a true American.
Next time I will tell you about
my newest home and some more
about the trips we have taken.

BOYS ARE

More about our year-around
meat supply, without refrigeration
in the Stone Hills when I was a
boy.
Out in August, when we had
tired of ham or eaten it all up, the
side meat had become too rancid
to fry, the fryers had either all
been eaten or had grown up to
where they would crow and cackle
—we’d start a pork club.
Four neighbors would go to
gether and rotate killing a shote
each week. We were hungry for
fresh pork then and it tasted aw
ful good. That gave out about the
first of September and we started
something else. «
It was then, our 8 and 16 hand
ed beef clubs started killing. Eight
large families went together and
one killed a good beef each Fri
day. Sixteen small families like
wise went together and half kill
ed each year. Thus, for & weeks
in the fall, we had plenty of beef.
Good beef, to it was, for each
tried to outdo the other. And that
carried up to about the time we
started killing and curing hogs
again. If there was a little lapse
in between, we’d fill that out with
game, that was plentiful, and a
few chickens.
So, the Dutchman never suffer
ed for meat. And it, like just
about everything else, came from
his thrifty hand. 1 can well re
member the first fresh meat I
ever saw for sale. Mr. Ellisor had
it at Peak. And we got some fresh
sausage in the summertime! He
had beef too, and cut it with a
saw! Ours had always been cut
up with a sharp axe at our beef
clubs.
Look now, with the benediction
of electricty down practically
every rural lane! Change, change-
^the constancy of it!

by wrought gold medallions. 4-016.
