Well sanir the noet when ho 1? ... . uttered those words "Amidst pal-1 j aces and pleasure though wo ' j may roam, , he it ever so humble, ; there js no place like home." Kor ' k from many points of view there ' is no place like home. A person ( ir . * actually feel "more at . home'j when he is at home than he dbes ' at any other place regardless of 1 how 'welcomed' he may be "made 1 ig to feel. By and large, Western civilization rests upon three pil- 1 jj iarS?the home; the school,* and ra khe church. Due to the lack of( space I shall confine my thoughts i (g t in this column to the home with! no intention, of course, of imply-! ing that the other two are not n important. - I However, the value and im J j0 portance of the proper type of home to the totality of all the ie worth while things in our WestDf ern civilization can hardly be e. over estimated. One profound thinker has said: "Destroy your schools, but save your homes audi j. II shall build new schools with! ty more splendor than those des-. at troyed; demolish your churches, ,y but save the hOmes and I shall ts erect new churches more beautiin ful and sublime than the older ones; Tnitr~ITestfby your homes ic and sonnet' or later your schools J al will rot tp^ the ground and yourj ir- churches will go back to the dust e. from whence they came," And, io may I hasten to point out that ss we can easily destroy a home is without destroying the building . the purity of, and the reverence ie for the home we have indeed de:b Id troyed the home; when we put ie the fear of 'God and the teachm ling-* of Jesus Christ out of the Jr home, wc have infact destroyed e- it. Dr. Frarik Crane says: "The s- most essential element in any in home is God." cc - The S. ,S. lesson for November ? ^ r. 1 _ . t I > x- 1st deals with the home.

M. Eleazer, Clem son Extension Information Specialist SOUK WOOD Sourwood has of latjeT painted many a gorgeous pietu re^ *the Up Country. And it grows Some all across state through the Low Country tqo. It is a very desirable bush or tree. Being one of the best of honey plants when it blooms along in June, its rich green foliage and light trunks adds to the beauty of any woodland setting. And then, to cap the climax, its leaves - start tailoring. early and stay late. It is ' largely the species that forms the aw-inspiring spangles, of color that make a vertiable wonderland oiheauty out of many a mountain woodland in the fall. And around some .homes here at Clemson they are as brilliant and showy as an | azalea. Once started they are as tough as other forest trees. Folks have told me they tried to get sourwood to transplant around j their homes, but never could. Every sprout they tried to dig from the woods was?on an old stpmp and large root system- that defied mov ing. ? k Our forester,. Bill Barker, has just told me that a few nurseries have,..small sourwood sprouts for sale. They are principally at McMinville Tennessee. Two of them there that .his reference, showed as handling sour woods were Boyd Bros- Nursery and Forest series. They are priced reasonably. THAT COAStAL BERMUDA; It sounds like a fellow is in a tall tafe telling contest when he talks ibout that hew grass, Coastal Bermuda. . ' Listen to County Agent Graj} of [ Darlington tell. about one of. his lomonstrations; "Mr. T>. Ham las the outstanding new sun^mer pasture. This is Coastal Bermuda spriggH.1 last} Apri^. Grazed 24 :ows en 4-12 acres two ^weeks, 37 attle for three, weeks, and then :ut .3 tons of hay. This pasture .vill- be cut for -haty the first or soeond week in October and we expect at least 1 *12 tons of hay per icre at that time." Records like this are not uncom mon with this grass according to Hugh Woodle, our pasture man, when it gets adequate fertilization, specially nitrogen . -Such demonstration ipfemtings were made jn every cqunty last spring with certified seed stock secured direct from Dr. Burton, originator, down at the Tifton, Georgia experiment station. Most of these plantings succeeded and now we have sources of pure stolons or runners available in most counties. Your county agent can tell you. This grass needs no seed. You set it out. COKER'S CORN County Agent McCord of Georgetown says: "The value of Cok crs en nyDria corn is again outstanding, due to its ability of yield well under dry weather conditions. As a result, many new farmers will plant it- next year after again seeing the favorable results this season/' Irrigated tobacco Assistant County Agent Fleming of Florence, who supervised the tobacco irrigation demonstration on W. D.~ Workman's firm the past season, reports as .lollaws: "On the four-acres demonstration which Mr. Workman irrigated four times his yield aveaged, 2,014 pounds per acre brought 57.8 cents a pound and grossed $1,104.16 per acre. On non-irrigated tobacco on similar land his yield was 1555 pounds per aprn a trom crck TA O ' , u-i.o cents a paunci, anrl grossed $H44.?9 f5er acre/*" Aeetn-ding to my?arithroeticr irrigation gave him 459 addec) pounds^ per acre, that sold 3.5 . I . S \ T?na cnurcnes, such ugly and distasteful things as juvenile deliquency, divorces, and many other crimes seem to be on the increase. The foregoing ^eems to suggest that there is a weakness somewhere. I venture to say that a large part of the weakness is in the spiritual fabric of oyr homes. Says Tillman Hobson: "Christianity begins at home. We build our character there .and, what we become in after ye*ars is largely determined by our home training and home environment." Hans Christian Anderson has said "Eighty percent of our criminals come From unsympattic tic holmes." Those of us who desire to save our Western civilization and- all'of its worth-while institutions wottid' do w^ll to think more than apparently we are of the importahce of Christ-* ian in homes ln'iBpving such civ- ] ilizution. . 1 1 . ~ . -""f?
