HOLDS BIBLE TO BE
"SECTARIAN BOOK"
California Court Makes Drastic Decision
Regarding Bible
In Schools.
f(Capital News Service.)
Washington, Nov. 13.?The King
James version of the Bible "is the
accepted Protestant version" and
therefore sectarian, the supreme court
of California has decided in an opinion
just made public reversing a judgment
of a supreme court in Kings
county, which permitted the Selma
Vnion high school district to purchase
two coDies of the Bible for the school
library.
/ The court held the acquisition of
the Bible by the school would be in
direct violation of the school law.
At the same time this decision was
rendered, a prominent womans's club
in the nation's capital formed a "nonsectarian"
class for the stud\* of the
book held "sectarian" in California.
A majority of the educators of the
capital city, whether or not they believe
in* the use of the Bible as a
r foundation for public school study,
are united in believing that the King
James Bible is as non-sectarian as a
book can be, since it is the foundation
of the teachings of every Christian
religion, with one notable exception,
and its Old Testament is jusea in
many Jewish synagous.
Many educators believe that the
Sunday school and the home are the
places for Bible study, and that religious
instruction does not belong in
f ? public school, but hold that the
premises on which California is keeping
the Bible from the public school
library is a mistaken one.

Have You Planted Green Feed for
Your Chickens?
Green feeds are a very necessary
part of the hen's ration and should
be supplied to her when confined in
small yards and during the winter
after the frost has killed the vegetation.
Free range or large yards kept
in grass, alfalfa or clover will furnish
ideal green feed. Where smaller
yards are used, they should be
divided, if possible, into two parts
and used alternately, planting the vacant
yard several times with a quickgrowing
green crop, such as rape,
oats, wheat, rye or barley. In this
way, green feed is supplied, and it
helps to keep the ground clean and
sweet. Other green feeds that can
be fed, especially in winter, are
sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chopped
alfalfa, clover hay, cabbage, and mangel
beets. Cabbages can be fed by
suspending them by means of a cord
hung up in the poultry house and the
birds receive some exercise while eating.
The beets are uusally split and
stuck on a nail on the side wall of
the poultry house. When oats .are
used for sprouting, they should be
of a good grade. Soak them over
night in warm water and spread out
1-2 to 1 inch thick on trays having
perforated bottoms. Water the oats
thoroughly each day and turn the
trays around, so as to bring each side
near the light, in order to encourage
an even growth. Keep the trays in
a temperately heated place, and stir
the oats each day until the sprouts
begin to form. Sprouted oats are fed
when the sprouts are from 2 to 4
inches high. The sod is removed,
broken into chunks, and fed in troughs
or on clean litter. From I to 2 square
inches for each hen should be fed
at noon.
Why green and succulent feeds are
necessary ?
1. Fowls need succulence to keep
them in condition and to keep the
digestive tract in working order.
2. It acts as a tonic and stimulates
the appetite.
3. It furnishes a large amount of
. water and thus adds bulk to the ra
tion.
4. It is undoubtedly one of the
factors causing increased egg production.
5. It improves the fertility and
hatching quality of the egg, and the
vital itv of ^he chick.

One 01 Man's Real Friends.
They have been, printing tributes
to the horse and to the dog and to
other animals as "man's friend."
There now comes the champion of
H| the cow. We find the apostrophe to
wJP the quadruped in the publication gotr
ten out by the Missouri State Board
w of Agriculture.
Little do we realize the debt we
owe the cow. During the dark ages
of savagery and barbarism we find
her early ancestors natives of the
wild forests of the old world. As
the bright rays of civilization penetrated
the darkness of that early
period, and many called upon the
cow, she came forth from her seclusion
to share in the efforts that gave
' us a greater nation and more enlightened
people!
For 20,000 years she has shown her
allegiance to man, sharing alike in
his prosperity and adversity, responding
nobly to all that was done for
her, until through her development
she became an idol of the people of
her native country.
When Columbus made his second
voyage to America, the cow came with
him, and from that time to the pres- 1
ent day she has been a most potent
factor in making this, our own country,
the greatest nation, with the
highest type of womanhood history
has ever known!
Her sons helped till the soil of our
ancestors and slowly moved the products
of the farm to market. They
went with man to the dense foiests o;
the new world, helped clear them for
homes and made cultivation possible
for the coming generation,-and when
the tide of emigration turned Westward
they hauled the belongings of i
the pioneer acroos the sun-scorched
nvdp thp threat mountain
ranges to new homes beyond.
Truly, the cow is man's greatest
benefactor. Hail, wind, drouths and
floods may come, destroy our crops
and banish our hopes, but from what
is left the cow manufacturers into i
the most nourishing and life-sustain- i
ing foods, and is she not foster moster 1
and life itself to countless thousands <
of little children all over this world .
of ours? We love her for her docility,
her beauty, and, should misfor- <
tune overtake us as we become bow- <
ed down with the weight"* of years, 1
wre know that in the cow we have a i
friend that was never known to falter, i
She pays the debt. She saves the i
home. God bless the cow?little do
we realize the debt we owe her. 1

Destroy Cotton Stalks Right Away. J
.'
Q. Why? <
A. To perish the weevils to dfeath *
before frost. *
Q. How?
A. Cut them with ^hopper and J
completely root up.
Q. How does destroying stalks 1
now effect weevil? " 1
A. He can only feed and breed in
the fresh squares and tender shots. ^
If you destroy your stalks he will ^
have no place to lay an egg, and will
die or go elsewhere. (
Q. Why should my neighbor de- J
stroy his stalks? 1
A. Because the weevil will leave 1
your fields vhen you cut, and go to '
your neighbor's, only to get you again
before summer is over.
Q. Have you any figures to prove 1
the effect of destroying stalks? (
A. Louisana experiments, over a *
long -period, have shown as follows:
Per cent, of
Stalks weevils appearing
destroyed. next spring.
On October 15 or before 3 per cent
OofnKai- IK /* 97 IK m>r cent i
WWW* AV ?v ???? ? ? ???? W r?- J
November 1 to 25 22 per cent t
November 30 to Dec. *7__28 per cent i
After December 15 43 per cent i
Q. Have you any evidence like that
in South Carolina ? t
A. Yes. We notice two things j
very striking. The conties last year i
that made poor crops and destroyer
stalks early, have beat neighbor- i
ing counties making cotton this year. (
Also, we have seen many cases of t
fields where stalks were destroyed ^
last fall and compared to others where i
stalks were left, have made two and
three times as much cotton. Two i
fields, for example, in Colleton, as t
follows:
1. Nine acres?stalks destroyed 1
last fall, six bales this year. j
2. Ten acres?stalks destroyed i
this spring, three bales this year. s
The ten-acre field had always produced
better crops heretofore. Botn \
fields were treated exactly alike, i
worked by the same man on same i
farm. c
The Pee Dee Experiment Station's c
results this year show as follows: <
On 8-acre field, no cotton last f
year, therefore no stalk. Percentage c
of infection July 23 was 6 per cent.; j
yield of cotton, 1,280 pounds per acre.
Another field, just across ditch, had i
stalks turned under during December. <
Percentage of infection May 15 was i
/?onf trials nf 4
UV pvi VVUVl J J 1V1U V* vv?vv??j vv* I
pounds per acre, with dust.
Last, but not least, try to get some <
cover crop on the tract just as soon 1
as you cut the stalks. It helps the 1
land and hurts the weevil. The wee- i
vil cannot live over winter surround- <
ed by a green growing crop. He must >
be in dry litter.
Clean up your ditches and hedges t
and all surplus trash around the prem- i
ises. ? s
We do not recommend mowing down
the stalks and hauling to the barn j
yard. We think you will have a mass ]
of weevils emerging from your barn <
yard next spring. Then, too, you 1
have a double cost of hauling both
ways and it is worth just as much
turned under in the field. i
We venture to say that had Wil- 1
liamsburg iounty cut down all her cot- t
ton stalks last October, we would have |
made twice the cotton we have made 1
this year.
Do we want to double our chances, g
for next year's

Seeing is Believing.
Among the numerous '"Doubting
rhomases" who form a part of the
xipulation, there are some, here and
here, who think that the number of
lutomobile drivers killed or injured
it railroad crossings is exaggerated.
To ail such we make the sugges;ion
that they might keep a record
.'or a month or so and see what* figires
will show.
Of course, outside of some big disisters,
the accounts of crossing accidents
are not published far from
he place where they happen so you
vould miss a majority of the cases
til over the country.
Through the newspapers that you
ead you will get a lot of informaion,
quite enough to start a record.
There are clipping bureaus in the
arge cities that could furnish you
t good many of such items. Seeing
s believing, so make a record and
itudy it.
Statistics show that 3,000 automo>iles
were struck at grade crossings
n this country last year. In these
aosv 9 nnn men wnmen and
ILUUCUIO V*?l Ujvvv .. w.?
ihildren were killed and over 3,000
sthers were injured. In dozens of instances
whole families, numbering
Tom four to six were wiped out as
:ompletely as though a cyclone had
struck them.
A cyclone comes without warning,
torn an unexpected quarter. Train
>f cars always comes along a permalent
track, so you know where to
ind it
- ? ? il
And yet, this very a ay, more man
>ne driver, somewhere, will heedlessy
drive onto the tracks, without
ooking or listening and then a rushng
train will demolish his car. In
:ompany with wife and children he
vill meet sudden death.
A little thought?a little serious attention
that you give to your busiless
affairs, would save you from
>uch a fate.
Are youv doing any thing to assist
n the CAREFUL CROSSING CAMPAIGN?
Don't trust to luck. Use
:ommon sense if you want to live
ong.

It is hard to understand how any
'armer can spend his time squirrel lunting
and town-loafing while cot;on

examine your receipts and see if all

complications and additional cost may
be avoided.
