FARM NEWS COTTON SHED SHOULD BE TREATED TO AID IN DISEASE CAXTTDAT V>Ui> 1 I\UU In the "Bale or More in 1954" cotton production program, cotton growers are being advised that seed treatment and t.he use of rev sistant varieties are important factors in cotton production. County Agents remind growers thrft it cost only a few cents per .acre to treat planting seed against disease but that this small investment can mean the difference between a good and a-bad stand of cotton. A good job of seed treatment helps prevent seed decay and damping-otF caused by seed ? and soil-borne organisms. This practice aids growers in reducing damage from such disease as anthracnose, bacterial blight, and soro shin. The local agent points out that in selecting material for treating fuzzy or reginned seed, the Clemson Extension Cotton Committer recommends Ceresan M, New Improved (5r/f) Ceresan, or Dow 9-B 4 1-2 ounces per 100 pounds o f seed, or 2-pereept Ceresan, 8 ounc es per 100 pounds of seed. For treating delirrted seed, the commit tee recommends Ceresan M, I>ow 9-B, tihiram (Arasan), captan (Ortho-406), or chloranil (Spergon) 4 ounces per 100 pounds of seed. Directions printed on the containers should he followed. "Seed may be properly treated either at home or by custom op* orators. "In either case, the important point to remember is that i poor treatment is little better than J no treatment at all. So, if it's a i custom job, growers should check make sure that the custom operators use sutiahle material and treat the seed thoroughly," ho , . adds. Farmers who want to do their own seed treating may ohtpin more specific information from the cownty' agent's office. , 1 ? " BETWEEJ i By Dean Gordon B. Hancock I For ANP I THESE FEAR-GRIPPED TIM! The mortal who is trying to 1 through these perilous times wi out trusty jn God js u poor cr Jture! The only persona who cal ly contemplate tomorrow are ( fearing, with a great faith tl will not shrink, thoug^ pressed every foe. President Eisenower's rec broadcast was an admonition gainst fear. The lamented Fra lin D. Roosevelt uttered one of injunctions of the century, wl he warned that we have noth to fear but fear itself; and he ] ceeded to build up in the peo a great faith to counter the gr fear that was gnawing at- the tals of the nation. Today, our nation in particu! and the other nations in genei are distraught with fear .Repul cans fearing Democrats; whi fearing Negroes and Negroes f ing whites, t he segregation! fearing the integrationists and tegrationistp fearing?the-segre tionists, the communists fear the democracies, and the dem racies fearing the communists-i w^ll might they, labor fearing < ital and capital fearing labor, 1 1 testants fearing Catholic t a r Catholics fearing Protestants, haves fearing have-nots antl have-nots fearing"the haves and ad infintum. I remember a little ditty, < "Little fear have smaljer ones Upon their backs to bite -efn; The smaller ones have lesser or And so ad infintum." The foregoing could easily re "Little fears have smaller one: Upon their backs to bite 'em; .And so ad infintum."? ?? Adlat Stevenson some weeks i accused the Eisenhower admir tration of "government by pc ponement." He could .have with qual propriety called Eisenhow< a government by fear. And senhower's McCarthy is mak ' fear more fearful every day ' every way. It will soon be gove _ ment by jitters if tiomc way is > found to stop McCarthy. ! the gods would destroy they fi 1 make mad. The aphorism sugge a corollary, they whom the g< -would destroy thep first make fraid. The problem, of"' fear v current in the ,1 ife and - times Jesus. On numerous occasion j enjoined his~disciples to "Ft , not" and more than once he ge ly rebuked his diciples with "O of little faith." The fact Is, our great fear just another phase of our lit faith; and in the last analys when fear is in, faith is out a vice-versa. Our materialistic age has pi I disposed mankind to trust in t seen -and the "tangible and t present, sensate civilization, a | Sorokin calls it, is not conduci ( to great faith. The rapid strid l in science have not been narall ed by spiritual growth! and s faith has decayed and comft died and left the heart in pa But if the current fearful situ tion is to l>e saved some way mi he devised to make faith live gain jn the'hearts and lives o mankind, j Back to God is an ' Tnjuncti bluntly warping man of the di j consequences of o u r curre ] course. Faith and faith alone | the answer to the question o ' great fear that is currently gri ' ping the heart of mankind. Ba | to God through Jesus Christ the formula for solvation frc paralyzing fear. Back to G through?Christ?through?hum brotherhood is the answer to t question of wot id c risis. Fortunately for man, he has Jesus Christ a .pattern for wo'i salvation. Just whether men w heed the teachings of Jesus Chri and be saved is a vexing questic That the world is Prodigal mind there can he no question; but ju whether the world can be stopp in its current course short of t I smine-trough i,s a matter of gra concern. Many things are being said bout what is wrong with t h Church, and even the most casu studebts of human affairs o; i point out instances without ei I of the Church's shortcomings. B sight should not be lost of tl fact that whereas there is mu< wrong with the Church there i one great big thine rieht with and that is, it .holds the fnrmn for a better world; in fact t.l only formula khown to haffl* men. ^ -i 1 ?

McGee came to the Clemson Extension Service as our first tobacco specialist. He came with knowledge, practical and wide." That year we had averaged 580 pounds of tobacco per acre and the crop brought a little over 4 million dollars. JL But from then on our tobacco ^ statistics show a steady riser a re* markable improvement right up to the very present. y Like most years since Mr. McGee came, last year has set another record. Our average yield of tobacco was 1,420 pounds per acre. And the crop brought a bit over 07 million dollars! For the five years before Mr. V McGee came, we averaged (>85 pounds per acre. For the past five ?? years now our state has averaged ?,% 1,244 pounds of tobacco per acre. I know we have progressed t in * all lines. But not like that. ^ J factors account for this tobacco i progress, i know. But surely one of the principal ones is the impact | of the gehtle, genteel, kindly, and [ ? knowing Mr. McG.hee. .
