farming in 1957. He plants 385
acres to corn—most of which is
cut as silage. He has three silos
24x70 feet, three 20x70 feet and
two 16x70 feet. The last two are
used to store high moisture corn.
He told us that he averages about
15 tons of silage per acre. The
control panel from where he di
rects the feed almost looked like
a missile launching panel. From
that panel the operator controls
the protein content of the feed
and can vary the feed to suit any
need.
Gerald Robson of Barrien coun
ty, Michigan, an example of a
young man getting started in
farming. Gerald operated a swine
farm. He had about 72 sows
(Yorkshire - Hampshire cross).
Robson was doing a good job with
his management. He told us that
he was averaging 8 and 9 pigs per
litter actually weaned. Now that’s
pretty good! Corn played an im
portant part in the feed program
of this farm, too. Gerald fertilized
each field according to soil tests
and was shooting for 120 bushels
this year. He averaged around 90
bushels per acre last year.
Corn on most farms was planted
mighty thick! You could hardly
see the ground. Most of the farm
ers told us they tried to get around
18,000 plants per acre. With this
spacing naturally, fertilizing is
heavy—200 pounds actual nitro
gen, 160 pounds each of phos
phate and potash is not uncommon.
You know, we can do the same
thing here in South Carolina. Our

ARE YOU
LISTENING?
ARE YOU LISTENING
The doctrine of salvation con
sists of three words which are re
pent, believe, and confess. They
will help us understand this im
portant part of the Christian life.
The first word in the Bible par-
taining to the way of salvation is
repent. It was John’s message as
he told of the coming Messiah.
Christ himself began his ministry
preaching the same message. Some
say that repentence is being sorry
for your sins, but some people are
sorry for their sins and have never
repented. Repentence is more than
crying over sins. Its true meaning
is that we are going to take God's
side against sin. It means that we
are sorry enough to quit the sin
ful life and begin to serve the
Lord.
Next, we are to believe. It is
impossible to really believe with
out having first repented. We can- (
not help but believe when we have

theirs. They only average about Jesus was speaking to Nic
30 inches per year
Dairying is impoortant in Mich
igan, too. We visited a dairy herd
at the Upjohn farm near Kalama
zoo and the Apache ranch up at
Lapeer, Mich, One of the things
that impressed Luke Hart, State
Bank and Trust company of Whit
mire and myself, was the few
workers on each farm. Labor was
well paid and they were expected
to do a good job. On the Upjohn
farm two men managed the dairy
of 80 cows. One of these devoted
a lot of his time to research.
Most of the corn we saw fed to
livestock was high moisture corn.
It is harvested early before the
grain is completely dry and stored
in air-tight silos. The corn sorta
ferments and cattle really go for
it!!
On the Upjohn farm much re
search is carried on testing anti
biotics, harmones and feed addi
tives. They use broilers, hogs, beef
cattle, dogs and dairy cattle in
their programs. They had a very
fine kennel of Beagle dogs. Nat
urally, they were very proud of
them. It was a beautiful sight to
see about 100 black and tan Bea
gles rearing up on the fence as
we drove past. It sounded like a
rabbit hunters’ convention!
Yes, we saw some poultry, too.
We visited the Harold Conrad and
Son poultry farm near Port Hu
ron over on the east coast. Here
they had a combined operation of
hatching, raising pullets and com
mercial eggs. Luke Hart and I
both sorta perked up here as we
felt more at home among the
chickens than we did on some of
the other places. We found we
had them beat on a lot of things
along the poultry line. The severe
weather caused them to have a
very high investment in housing.
They had to have tight buildings,
concrete floors, insulation, fans
and heating systems. However,
with good management the Con
rads were able to hold their cost
of production to about 27 cents
odemus he did not remind him
that man is sinful. He did, how
ever, point out the sinfulness of
choosing to remain in that sin
rather than in the light furnished
by God. There is only one sin that
stands in the way of any man’s
salvation, and that is the sin of
unbelief which keeps the heart out
of fellowship with God.
Finally, we are to confess. As
soon as anyone accepts the salva
tion offered by Christ, it is his
duty to confess him before men.
In making this public confession
we tell the world that we are no
longer walking on the side of
darkness, but that we have re
ceived the light given by Christ
into our lives. The Bible says,
“That whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal
life.

TELFARM — That’s Mighigan
State University’s answer to mod
ern farm records! It actually
stands for Today’s Electronic
Farm Records for Management
We visited the Center where these
records were received, recorded,
analyzed and sent back to the
farmer. There were several types
of systems used, but basically
each farmer who is enrolled sends
in a complete farm inventory and
each month sends a record of
farm receipts, expenses and in
vestments. Modem electronic busi
ness machines are used to speed
this recording.
Today’s farming requires up-to-
the-minute data to make sound
decisions and it looks like this is
one way to do it.
Southern Ontario is some beau
tiful country—corn, tobacco, and
truck and fruit crops. We stopped
at the farm of G. C. Nichols of
Blenheim, Ont. Blenheim is located
a few miles from Lake Erie down
in the Southern tip of Canada.
Here we were treated with real
Southern hospitality and for a
few moments I though I was back
in Newberry. The names were
much the same—Huffmans, Camp
bells, Wrights and Nichols. In
fact, here as I talked with our
hostess, Mrs. Nichols, she replied,
“You know you can’t tell the Can
adians from you South Carolin
ians.” We sure could use more
exchanges of ideas between our
countries to foster this type of
understanding.
One of the reasons their soil
was so fertile in Southern Ontar
io, we were told, was that 80 per
cent of the land was tile-drained.
The land was reclaimed marsh
land. This huge task was done at
the farmer’s expense and each
township paid a special tax to
keep the drainage systems open.
This was “Big Red Bara Country”
and each barn had the owner’s
name neatly displayed.
The people of Michigan and On
tario certainly went out of their
way to show us what we came to
see. It was a trip that I won’t
soon forget.

FEBRUARY QUIZ
T F YOU SHOULD ask a boy or
A girl why February 22 was an
important date and receive an
incorrect answer, you would think
the quizzed very dull indeed. Per
haps you would blame the home,
the school and the church for the
fact that an American child did
not know that February 22 was
the birthday of George Washing
ton.
Some years ago & well-known
novelist undertook to cebunk the
character of Washington. When
the matter was brought to the
attention of the President of the
United States, Cautious Cal
walked to a window and looked
at the Potomac. “I see the monu
ment still stands,** Mr. Coolidge
said. He referred of course to
the lofty memorial that rises
above the skyline of the Capital
City that is also a memorial of
George Washington.
Following loosely the lines of
Lord Tennyson: Let us survey
the decades behind us, which
like a fruitful laud reposes, and
cling to all the present for the
promise that it closes, and dip
into the future far as human eye
can see that we may see the
vision of America and all the
wonder that will be — because
George Washington, like Moses
of old, not permitted to enter into
the full glory of his dreams for
our country, lifted an unerring
finger toward the land of prom
ise. And that we may rightly
claim our inheritance.

The Conservative Mainstream
For 20 years this writer has
tried to avoid purely partisan pol
itical hassels. He still doesn’t pro
pose to make choices for his
readers, except to urge upon them
principles that make choices pos
sible. Because principles are so
important, a retrospective analy
sis of the pre-convention “stop
Goldwater” movement seems ap-
propos. This movement made the
headlines and developed larger sig
nificance than that of most ordi
nary internecine party contests.
The Republicans were not en
gaging in the quarrel alone, for
there were plenty of outside par
ticipants. By the Fourth of July
certain excited columnists and
commentators were insisting that
stopping Goldwater would be the
only way to save the nation. Press
performance as a whole was much
less than admirable. Led by Prav-
da, the New York Times, the Sat
urday Evening Post, Howard K.
Smith, and what seemed like
hosts of mass media workers, the
Liberal Establishment took a
frantic personal interest in the
Republican Party’s problem of
what to do about Goldwater.
Word Battle
Besides the run-of-the-mill ob
loquy and headlined misinterpre
tations of modern interpretative
news coverage, Goldwater was op
posed by many national column
ists, who took Khrushchev’s cue
and made him out as “that wild
man.” But the worst semantic
trick with smear labels was one
that took in almost everybody.
This time, having failed to make
Goldwater an “extremist” of the
“ultra-right,” the whole pack went
all out in pinning the label of
“moderate” on anybody wanting
to stop Goldwater. They thought
this dodge would achieve the im
possible: make a radical out of a
conservative.
But the conservative of the
Goldwater type is no extremist or
radical. No amount of animosity
from communications media could
make the Senator into more than
simply a conservative, and con
servatives are generally moderate
in their views. But they did not
stop at this. If the Senator could
be persuaded to take certain ex
treme positions, or change his
mind, he would appear unreliable
and no man of principle.
A Positive Vote
The curious blindness of pro-
fesional observers apparently still
discounts the presence of conserv
ative thought in the nation. Gen
erally ignored by news media was
the fact that Goldwater won 53.5
per cent of nearly two million pri
mary votes, with his closest rival
getting only 15 per cent. Massive
opposition from liberal-dominated
labor, from liberal-dominated com
munications media, from liberal-
controlled government, and from
other political and pressure groups
was tremendous. But his support
apparently came from conserva
tive-minded people who under
stood.
Until the California primary,
there was little recognition of fact
that the Senator’s strength came
from conservative voters who did
not subscribe to the comments of
commentators on what Goldwater
believes. They understood him and
they were voting for him, not to
stop somebody. Their man had ex
pressed a positive political philos
ophy. It was his detractors who
had labeled as extremist one who
champions the rigths of the indi
vidual, who would curtail expand
ing power in the central govern
ment, who would prefer a free
enterprise economy father than
socialist experiments, and. who
would endeavor to slow the march
of Communism.
A Continuous Debate
Neither of our major parties has
shown enough downright dedica
tion to principle. Instead of schem
ing to win both the organized vote
Mid the independent vote, our par
ties need to Hud principles to
which they may attach their loy
alty. Good TV personalities are
easier to find than good principles.
People do not want parties to ex
ercise “flexibility” that allows con
venient changing according to the
way the wind blows.
Integrity of principle is the
prime need; disdain for principle
is behind most of our fumbles of
domestic and foreign policy. Re
gardless of which party is in pow
er, the American people must make
evident their growing appreciation
for the conservation of American
values. In the next few months
there will be continuous debate of
those issues involved in the main-
tenahee of freedom of opportunity
and preservation of individual
liberty—for a less governed peo
ple, for a fuller measure of ini
tiative, and for conserving our
basic values.
All Americans owe Senator
Goldwater their appreciation for
sharpening the issues in thin
continual debate.

From Mrs. Boyd James Owen,
Pleasant Hill, Missouri: An old-
timer recently wrote about thw
^.me of “anti-over.** I remember
it well. We called it M Andy-over* ,
and I would like to ki iw more
about the twine balls children
used in those days.
While living in what used to
be a one-room, brick schoolhouse
in Cass County, Missouri, my hus
band was doing some repair work
in the attic. He discovered that St
one time each end wall had been
used as a flu. The center layer of
the three-brick deep wall had
been left open to make a flu about
two feet thick. He removed tho
room-side layer of brick for m
distance of about four feet down
and found at the bottom a collec
tion of things—a number of twine
balls, a vaseline jar that had been
used for an inkwell, a large blue
marble, several corn cobs and two
pieces of metal.
We think these artifacts landed
>ln the chimney. Instead of going
over the roof, during games of
“Andy-over.**
We would appreciate learning
more about the twine balls. One
of them is definitely homemade.
The others appear quite profes
sionally wrapped. Did the chil-
iren buy twine balls, or did they
just become expert at making
them?
