I IYCJ IU viiinsiiims juy By "BILLY" SUNDAY mc-a'NETEEN hundred years Xft N aB? a 8tar P?18e(1 above a lowly manger in ItethleX'Sen-6^ hem, and above the moonlit hills of Judea the angels heralded the beginning of the hfe of Jesus Christ upon this earth. And once more the birthday of the Saviour approar hes. How last these festal days follow one another! Only a few days ago 1 was penning a Thanksgiving (lay mes sage. Now we are looking forward with happy hearts and bright anticipations to Christendom's great giftgiving day. r Gratitude Inspires In us the grace 1 of giving. Gratitudo Is the great original source of noble living and service. ' Just as sin is the original source and root of all selfishness. The great all seeing eye of God, as It surveys this planet, with all Its scenes of revelry and its riot of sin, beholds but one i festering ulcer?selfishness?and gazes upon one thing of great beauty?gratitude? which recognizes In every need of man the voice of God. i The immortal Frances E. Wlllard said: "1 regard Ingratitude as ono of the basest of sins." The Psalmist said: "What shall I render unto the Lord for all his goodness to me?" Then answers his own question by saying: "I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord." Never before have we so seriously faced the question of our obligation to i Almighty God. There are thousands of heavy-hearted, world-worried men I and women who will never find life j worth living until their lives are : linked with Jesus Christ. There is no safety save in service I ; We must use or lose. The Dead sea gives nothing out, and that's why it 1b I dead. Many lives are like the Dead I sea. ff you would have the joy of I Christmas, you must find it in doing | what Jesus did. He went about do j ing good. No ono will ever find the ! Christian secret of a happy life save by trying to make it easier for others to do right and harder to do wrong. I Thero la joy In lifting any bunlcna of others, as the little girl found tt who was carrying her baby brother across the street. He was almost as big as she was. "Isn't he heavy?" asked a passer-by. "Oh, no; he's my brother." You cannot be a Christian without being a good fellow in the sense of , trying to help others to be good, or, 1 as someone has put it, "Kxcept you , erect the cross in your own heart, Jesus will profit you nothing." O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend on us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in; Be born In ub today. ^ ,j iTTfTTWlMi mnHM i ill M inn OULDThi 3autiful gifts for Man alive!

I have before mo pecan nuts of the 1915 crop that were grown In the CoaBtal section of South Carolina and some others that were produced in the extreme northwestern corner of the state at an elevation of 900 feet. These nuts, representing one of our best varieties, the Stuart, are sufficient evidence that the pecan will I thplvo l*t nrooHoollw 1 .-it*.. 1 ? ...... ~ ... |/.uvv.vaii; cici Ji iUl'UUiy III South Carolina, from the foothills o* the Hlue Itldge Mountains to the s shore. Each of our farm homes should I surrounded by nut-bearing trees rath er than by other trees of less beauty and of no economic value. We pay high prices for small, inferior nuts when about our very doors can bo grown the choicest sorts. Furthermore, there are large possibilities in the production of pecans lor commercial purposes. Standard varieties seldom sell for less than .10 cents a pound, yet there is a profit in growing pecans at 10 cents a pound. A pecan orchard of good varieties gives pleasure as well as profit and is to any farm or suburban home a permanent and valuable asset. The most Important point in the successful establishment of a pecan orchard is to use vigorous trees of good varieties. Varieties recommended for South Carolina are Stuart, Schley, Success, Van Deman, Frotscher, Pabst, and Money-Maker. Set the trees carefully in large deep holes about 60 feet apart each way. Give them as much care and attention as is given your most profitable farm crop and you will not be disappointed in the results. A neglect'*! pecan tree will yield no more profitable returns than will any other neglected crop or fruit tree. It is well to plant the orchards to garden or field crops, driving stakes beside the trees to prevent them from being bruised in cultivating. Intensive cultivation and fertilizing of the crops between the rows of trees will usually be sufficient to keep the pecans growing thriftily. A few nuts may be expected from each tree in three yeXrs after transplanting and the amount will increase each year. By the tenth year the trees should be yielding profitable crops In fact, if a pecan orchard is cc red for properly it will come into profit ; able bearing in about the same length I of time as will an apple orchard. P. J. CRIDER. Associate Horticulturist, Clenison Agricultural College. ; A Western farm paper suggests that farmers keep up their roads by hitching a drag to their automobiles. The idea is to take the drag along behind i the auto for a mile or two when on I a trip to town, then to leave the drag j by the roadside, to pick it up on the ! retuit t'.ip, and to drag the other ; side of the road. It has been tried w ;th success.
