Dear Brother Johnnie:
Nov. 29, 1921

Dear Brother Johnnie:
I am feeling little better for the
last few days and hope to be well
enough to be at the Grove next Sun
day, but my health is SO treacherous
feel constrained to write you this
letter for fear l may fail to get there.
If I fail to get there, frwant you to
take charge of the service and con-
duct,it Read this letter and conduct
it as you feel best.
AS next Sunday is to besny last
day as pastor, would like to- express
myself to all the church my deep felt
gratitude to them and to. God for
their, great and continued kindness to
me during these many years, but my
words fall lifeless to the ground and
I fail to be able to convey to
them what I feel I wish to.
Without exception the entire men,
bership has been kind and thoughtful
of me all these years, bearing with
my infrmities and weaknesses all
of which i feel unworthy. More and
more as I get nearer home / realize
my weakness and unworthiness, and
my entire dependence upon. God. By
His grace have come. this far and
am willing to trust that grace to the.
end. And / feel like doing as Paul,
in the closing chapters of one of his
letters to one of his churches. He en-
,deavored to call the name of each
of his brethren and commend and en-
courage them in their church work.
So feel / as / wind up my work with
you.
have enjoyed my efforts to
preach the Gospel these so years,
but have never been able to do it as
well as have desired. No sermon of
mine has been what I wished it to
be,-but 1 trust that God has blessed
my work to some extent Now am
called on to sheathe my sword and
lay down my arms, but / have no
complaint to make, for feel that it
is Gods will and Providence and it is
all right. / only hope to be able to
yield and uncomplainingly close my
life in that spirit and way which will
be most to this Saviour. I find that
there is sweet, Sustaining power in
the religion Of our Lord Jesus. I find
the promises of my Lord more and,
more sweet and sustaining as / draw
nearer and nearer the borderland.
would urge each brother and sis
ter to hold fast their profession and
press on to the end, leaning heavily
upon that promise that GAS thy days
so shall thy strength be-"
In conclusion let me urge you to-
rally around your incoming pastor,
Brother seago, mold up his hands,
cheer him in lis work as you have
done your humble servant.
May the Lord be with you, guide
and bless you is my humble prayer in
Christ's name.

The self.supporting Farm.

The Self-Supporting Farm.
Under boil weevil conditions it is
considered extremely important fol
each farmer to raise as nearly all OF
the staple food and feed crops as is
possible to supply all needs of the
landlord, the tenants, and the live.
stock.
These things can be grown at
home much more cheaply than 'they
can be purchased from other sec
tions,s and producing them should not
interfere with the production of sta
pie cash crops but should round out
a well balanced cropping system
On any farm on which good ro-
tation is followed for the purpose of
building up the fertility of the land
and maintaining a system of diversi-
fed agriculture, all of these crops
can be grown economically and to
good advantage.
Without a good all-year garden
there can be no 900 per cent" self
supporting farm.
The soils of South Carolina are
more than ordinarily adapted to the
growing of fruit for home use, and
in some sections for commercial ship
ment.
Home Dairying
With an abundance of milk, but
ter and cream for the family, rs to
35 per cent of the grocery Nbill may
be saved.
Each farm family of five should
own or be furnished with two cows
of standard dairy breed (grade or
pprebred.)
'One cow should be bred to freshen
in. the spring and the other in the
fall and in this way about two gal
Ions of milk per day may be pro-
duced if proper care and feed are
provided.
All feeds for the family cows
should be home grown.
1t is important. to prepare one to
two acres of permanent pastures fol
each cow in order to produce the
dairy products for the home more
cheap!y.
The milk COWS should be pastured
on the cultivated fields. in the fall
when possible and on oats and rye il
the winter and early spring.
The milk COWS. should be bred only
to purebred bulls of a dairy breed
The cheapest means of insuring the
service of good bull for a few cows
is to organize dairy bull association
among neighbors.
Poultry.
The keeping of a flock of laying
hens on the farm is an important
part of good general farm manage,
ment. On every farm there should be
at least. 80 to 40 laying hens
1t is more advisable to keep pull.
lets and yearlings than birds over
two years
For general farm conditions, the
dual purpose of breeds, Plymouth
Rocks Wyandcttes, and Rhode Is,
land Reds are the most popular and
from records appear to give the most
favorable results
Purebred poultry stock produces
a greater number of eggs, a more
uniform product, makes possible the
selling of eggs for Matching, anc

Ant Poisoning Is
In Progress Here

/ War on the Argentine ant has beer
declared in Columbus and measures
are now being used to destroy this
pest.
The Argentine ant was first found
in the United States Tin New Orleans)
about 1880. Since that date it has
spread from town to town, until they
are now found from Texas to the
Atlantic Ocean.
Having been warned that thirty
two blocks in Columbus were infested
with Argentine ants, the city officials
asked the State Plant Board to CO.
operate with them in trying to con-
troll the pests. The board sent two
men here, and during the PAST week
each of the infected blocks has been
thoroughly poisoned.
This year seven Mississippi cities
(including Columbus) have had ant
poisoning campaigns, and other cities
have applied to the State Plant Board
for aid in the work Of eradication.
The board takes an especial interest
in the work Of ant destruction for the
reason that the insects, by having the
juices from fruit trees, shade trees
and shrubbery, destroy them.
Poison for the Argentine ant is ap-
piled twice a year, in the spring and
in the fall. To completely eradicate
the ant it is sometimes necessary to
apply the poison two years in success
