“No man can serve two masters,
for either he will hate the one and
love the other: or else he will hold
to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and Mam
mon.” Matt. 6:24.
Many people are suffering from
a disease for which doctors can
not prescribe a pill. It is the
disease of having too many irons
in the fire. In our complex world
a person may have the responsi
bility of making the living, rear
ing the children, meeting social
obligations, keeping the lawn and
the house presentable, and going
to church occasionally. All of these
tend to keep him worrying as to
how he is going to get them all
done.
I am reminded of the story of
a middle-aged bachelor whose hair
was beginning to turn gray. He
was a long-distance truck driver,
and eventually married two wom
en, one at either end of his run.
One was a young lady and wished
for her husband to be as young
as she. When he was with her she
would brush his hair and pluck the
gray ones from his head. The oth
er woman, a little older, saw her
husband growing gray with pleas
ure, for she did not like to be
mistaken for his mother. When he
was with her she too would brush
his hair, but she plucked out the
black hairs. For a while he en
joyed the attention and the devo
tion of both wives, until one day
he suddenly discovered that he did
not have a hair on his head.
This is a simple story, I know,
but it tends to teach us a very
important lesson. If we continue
to yield to all of the pressures of
this world we may someday end up
with nothing to yield at all. Many
today, because of their various ac
tivities, and because they are lim
ited as to just how much they can
get done, have decided to omit
| God and the church from their
busy schedules. Read our text
again and hear the Lord say, “I
am a jealous God. Thou shalt have
no other gods before me.”
Are you listening?

STATE TURKEY MEET
Turkey growers, hold the date
of December 11 open for the an
nual meeting of the S. C. Turkey
Federation. Especially since this
event will be held in Newberry
county this year. The meeting be
gins promptly at noon on this
date and will be held at the Hart
ford Community center.
We don’t have a copy of the
program yet, but you can bet that
Charlie Risher will have a good
one lined up. And you know the
kind of feed the Hartford Com
munity folk always put on. So
be there on the 11th!!
MORE LIVESTOCK IN ’64
Who says there is„ no longer
opportunity in farming? Newber
ry county’s income from agricul
ture continues to climb each
year thanks to dairy, livestock
and poultry.
There’s still room for expan
sion in all these farming opera
tions in Newberry county in the
year ahead. Feeder pig production
we believe, offers a good oppor
tunity for many Newberry county
farmers to increase their farm
income. During the coming year
we hope to launch a graded feeder
pig sale here in Newberry county.
More on this at a later date.
COTTON REFERENDUM
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, is
an important date for cotton grow
ers, That’s the day for the vote
on marketing quotas for next
year’s cotton.
According to the ASCS, th e
Secretary of Agriculture is re
quired by law to proclaim market
ing quotas, if the total supply of
upland cotton is more than the
normal supply. Such a proclama
tion was made for the 1963 crop
when it was found that the total
supply for this year is more than
seven million bales above normal.
However, marketing quotas
cannot be continued in effect, un
less at least two-thirds of the cot
ton growers who vote approve
them. All farmers who engage
in the production of upland cot
ton are eligible to vote.
If quotas are approved for the
1964 crop, price supports at a
level of 65 to 90 per cent of parity
will be available to growers who
comply with their allotment. Mar
keting quota penalties will apply
to any “excess” cotton produced..
If the quotas are not approved,
there will be no quotas or penal
ties, but acreage allotments will
remain in effect. Price supports
would then be limited to 50 per
cent of parity.
„ Polling places have been an
nounced and will be open from 8
A. M. to 6 P. M. on this date.
Every cotton farmer should make
it his business to vote.
TIME TO SET PECANS
We hear the local pecan buying
stations are booming these days
handling the record crop being
made. We hope that extra cash
jingling in folks pockets will re
mind them to set out more pecan
trees for future cash incomes.
Choose recommended varieties
when ordering or buying trees.
Then follow these helpful hints
for getting your new trees to live
and off to a good start.
Try to plant the trees the d?y
they arrive. If this is not possible
heel the trees in, in sawdust or
soil. Never let the roots dry by
exposure to the sun or wind. Be
sure all roots are well covered
when heeled in and apply water
as needed. DO NOT EXPOSE the
ROOTS TO THE SUN. Plant late
in evening is best.
Don’t plant the trees nearer
than 30 feet from each other.
Dig a hole 24 inches wide at the
bottom and 36 inches deep. Place
|^>ugh topsoil in the bottom of
the hole so the tree stands 2 inches
deeper than it was in the nursery.
You may want to use water and
wash the soil in the hole around
the roots.
A second method of setting is
to put 6 inches of soil in at a time
and pack it with your feet. Keep
the roots out in their natural po
sition. Do not let them become de
pressed downward alongside the
taproot. Keep adding 6 inches of
soil and packing until you are a-
bout 4 inches from the top. This
will leave a basin'for holding wa
ter. Moisten until it is wet to the
bottom of the hole and do this
every 7 to 10 days throughout the
summer, unless it rains* this of
ten.
You may mulch the basin with
straw to discourage weed growth.
Fertilize the first of March using
1 quart (2 lbs.) of 5-10-10 ferti
lizer. Do not apply this against
the trunk of the tree.
