EPwoRTH LEAGUE NOTES

DIR. Handy, pastor and close friend
to the League made an interesting
talk on Missionary work. Among
several other, excellent points he
brought out the fact that the
churches and institutions, "thas have
not. in the past backed and believed
in Foreign Missions, have automa-
tically signed their own death war
rent" He cited several examples
and said that Gin most every church
that had denounced Foreign Missions
there had been men and woman of
fine character but their disbelief of
this great work has made their church
gradually fade"
Doctor Handy explained to the
members that each and every one had
some part in all christian work. In
his days of youth he was told when
enough of the older workers die, you
will take their places" "But now"
he concinued, "you young people do
not have to wait for several funerals
to begin your work, for there is al
ways a place for you to fit in and do
something" He showed the League
wherein they would have to keep pace
with the growing intellectual world
and in doing this would be better en-
,ebled to do greatr works than had
ever been done in the past.
Every one enjoyed the Doctors
talk as always they have, and as al
ways they will. We are thankful for
having such a good and manly man
among us; our only regret is that we
cannot always have his presence.
According to an undercurrent in
Ye Olde Towne Gossip the Christian
Endeavor debating team will chal-
lenge the Epworth League to de-
bate on some up-to-date issue. Should
this argument occur, there would be
one of the Invest debates that has
been pulled off in this vicinity in
some time, excluding some of the
recent political fights. Both the En-
deavor and the League have members
that would send forth barrage of
chin music.that would put Ring Lard
ner on the blink for a decade or so.
Look out, Christian Endeavor, if your
hat is in the ring, you had better be
careful, for when it comes to putting
forth new ideas. and at backing these
ideas with strong and fearless argu-
ment-well it is up to you to try to
excel us.

RYE AS A WINTER COVER CROP

Rye is one of the best winter cover
crops for farmers in the Piedmont
section of the Southern states. This
is not so because of its being the very
best for all conditions, but because
of its wide adaptability and unusual
dependability under anything like a
reasonable chance. II is a strong
feeding crop and will make a fair
growth on land that is too poor to
grow winter legumes successfully.
Rye fits in with our cropping sys-
tenn and will do well on any of the
soil types in this county if seeded in
a reasonably good seed bed. Not
only will rye, when plowed under in
the spring add considerable organic
matter to the soil and thus improve
its physical condition, but it will re-
duce materially washing and leach
ing during the winter and early
spring, and also provide limited
amount of grazing OF course, care
will have to be exercised not to let
the cattle on it while the ground is
wet and not to Craze it too closely,
for if it is. grazed too closely the
growth afterwards will NOT be suffi-
Gent to provide very much organic
matter to go back into the soil.
On very poor land it will be nec-
essary to use some fertilizer in order
to get the best results with this crop.
200 to 800 pounds of 1880, or
some such fertilizer applied at time
of planting will give good results.
As winter cover crop should be
sown between September Is and Oct.
ober Is. If sown in e standing crop
such as cotton or corn it may be sown
broadcast and covered with a sweep
or cultivator. If sown on land that
was not cultivated this year the.
ground should be broken and the
grain put in with a drill or sowed,
broadcast and narrowed in. A good
time to SOW in cotton is just after,
the first or secon picking. A to s.
pecks per acre is sufficient guam
tity of seed on medium land, but on
very poor land pecks will be better.
