DEVELOPING THE PRAYER LIFE
or the Child Through the Family AL
tar and Homo Influence.

The following interesting paper Is
one of number that was read at
the recent meeting of the w. NJ. L.
held at the Walhalla Baptist church.
Developing the Prayer Life.
Our children learn their first les
sons at home; this is where they get
their first impressions. The child
comes to us endowed with all its
innate powers infolded, and to us is
grmtthc privilege and great respon-
Sin!iity OF assisting in the unfold
meut pf these powers. IL the home
life, ii Mat It. should be |, will be an
easy nc tier to bring the child TO
Christ early in life, because a par
ent's example plays the most import
ant part in child's life
Do you know the magic words OF
childhood? l shall name four Of the
most important, namely: Activity,
Imagination, Curiosity and Imita-
tion. First, there is no more inter-
esting and absorbing study than that
Of the human being, especially the
very active unconscious child. We
wish to keep him unconscious. but
lead him to the control of this activ-
ity. using it in just the rightful way
towards his best good and develop
ment Of this self-activity.
Second, child lives in a world Of
make-belieye, and fairies are as real
to him as people. 1t Is very unfortu
nate that all mothers are not expert
Bible story tellers, in order that they
might make the beautiful stories of
Gods Book live again in the minds
Of their children, because Ii is just
as important to feed the child's soul
as to nourish his little body.
Curiosity Is the third Of these ma
gic words, though it is useless to
comment on this subject, as all mo-
theirs know something of the unend-
ing curiosity Of their children. though
it has been said that Curiosity is the
mother Of knowledge"
Tho last Of the magic words is I'M
itation, which is one Of the most i'm
portant characteristics Of childhood,
for through imitation he is laying
foundation for character. A child
always initiates those whom he ad-
mires-and how grand work 1t Is
for parents to thus lead a child. If
we could only LIVE that which we
would teach, for "character is caught
and not taught"
When We look into the Bible for
help in studying this subject we are
at once convinced that there is no
other element that may control the
future; therefore the destiny Of the
child Is the home life.
Have you ever noticed how rever-
ent little child becomes in the atti
tude Of prayer? When you erect an
altar in the home you erect IN altar
in the child's heart.
In studying the lives OF Moses,
Joseph, Samuel, Eli, with many 9TH
ers in the Old Testament, and the
teachings Of Paul in the New Testa-
ment, we are persuaded that there Is
no place where as much good can be
done as In the Christian home. 1t
was the influence Of a praying mo-
ther that gave to the world a Wes-
ley, a Spurgeon, Moody and many
others we might mention.

Cover Crops and InoCulati0n.

A number Of farmers have already
been asking, what cover crops must
i plant, and how do inoculate
thcm?"
The safest crop that can be plant
ed this fall Tor turning under in the
spring for "humus and guano" is
rye. Any farmer can grow rye on
practically any soil without inocula
ton, as it IS not a legume. Acres and
acres Of rye should be planted for
the Improvement Of soil this fall.
But sticking 10 rye alone Is like
man eating dry bread alone when
there Is butter on the table. Vetch
and clover constitute the butter.
"But should I plant vetch and clo-
YER all over the FARM" No, not at
first, for your soil must be inocu-
lated, and this should be done on a
few acres at time.
Cover Crops should cover at least
half the cultivated area this fall, but
rye will necessarily be the main crop
to spread over the acreage
A farm that has successfully grown
vetch on a small scale should have
good increase in acreage in vetch.

Nutrition Glasses for Children.

AS some one has said, "The future
health or our nation depends upon
the health habits of our children. :"
Ihe great rush of the ase, and with
the number Of temptations coming
before children, there is necessity of
training them in right living. Nutri-
ton classes, we'll organized and meet
ing regularly. are the best means Of
teaching right ways of living.
The nutrition class Of to-day is
the outgrowth of nutrition clinics,
the school lunch movement, and fresh
air classes. The nutrition class was
really begun by DR.. Emerson in Bos-
ton in 1910, in the form of hospital
work. In 1917 the Importance of the
work came before the people, and
| since then the growth Of such classes
has spread over The entire country.
The purpose of the nutrition class
| is to teach children how to live right
and to bring those mal-nourished IN
to normal. These things are accom-
plished by means Of general health
talks, following Of health rules, tho
teaching Of proper food selection,
encouraging the drinking of milk,
and dem onstrations of simple dishes
for children. BY bringing children
together III group there is spirit
OF competition, which is an excellent
way of getting them to do and eat
things they never would otherwise.
The weighing and measuring each
week, and the keeping of these
weights by use OF graphic charts,
brings to each child. in picture form.
the story Of his living. If he has
gained, it shows that he has follow
ed instructions, and if he loses, it
tells that he has not. To have a grad
ual gain curve on the chart is, gen
orally, the pride of each member Of
the class.
Mal-nutrition is not disease, but
a state Of undernourishment, due in
most cases to improper feeding.
There is an alarming amount Of it
in South Carolina, and it is to be
hoped that each city, town and COM
munity will put forth efforts to stamp
1t out. Already the Home Demon
stration Department Of Winthrop
College, through the county organi-
cations, has classes begun in many
parts of the State. More of such
classes are to be formed in the fall,
and as result it Is to be expected
that the high per cent of under
weights will be greatly reduced
Amy schools or communities inter
eated III this work can get further
tpfornia ton and help from the Coun-
ty Home Demonstra ton Agent.

The Tri-County Picnic.

Every family in Oconee county in
terested in agriculture is given a cor
dial invitation to attend the big tri-
county picnic at Clemson College on
Thursday Of next week, Aug. II.
A very complete and Interesting
program has been arranged by AS
sistant Director of Extension D. w.
watkins for the large crowds that
are expected there that day from the
three counties Of Oconee, Pickens
and Anderson.
At this time, when the advent Of
the boil weevil has given the all-cot-
ton farmer warning that this con-
dition cannot continue with safety,
it is well that all farmers acquaint
themselves more fully with system
Of diversified agriculture. BY taking
this trip on the day Of the picnic
the farmer may become acquainted
with many Of the necessary details
Of orchard management, Of the care
of dairy cattle, the raising of hogs
and beef cattle for profit, and other
helpful things. Experts will be on
hand and will point out the different
features that go toward making sue
cess with diversified system of ag-
riculture.
There will be Il separate program
for the women, which will be of in
terest to them.
There will be lots Of enjoyment
also, provided the women do not fail
to bring well-filled baskets.
All are requested to gather at the
Agricultural Hall not later than
1915 a. m., at which time the days
program will be announced and the
different tours begin.

Acres OF Grain,

This year it Is more important than
ever to SOW an abundance of oats,
rye, wheat and barley for feed and
food. And 1t is very important to
get them planted in plenty Of time.
Furthermore, the supply of these
seeds will very likely become scarce
before the season for planting is
over, due to the wide work Of the
boil weevil over tho State In Green
wood recently the county agent stat
ed that farmers there were planning
to plant so per cent Of their entire
acreage in cultivation in oats and
rye, and to use what was not needed
Tor feed as cover crop, to be turned
under for the soil. The banks Of
Greenville are starting a wheat con-
test for the farmers.
These two counties are also far
ahead Of Oconee, so far, In the mat
ter of winter legumes, such rs clover
and vetch. AS far as corn and other
foodstuffs are concerned Oconee no
doubt has the figures on her side.
This is the year for Oconee to move
ahead in the matter of winter grains
and legumes. The amount Of oats,
rye and wheat should be increased
abundantly this fall An abundance
of food and feed will be a great safe
guard against weevil damage to the
cotton crop in 1922, for with a mild
winter this year the boil weevil will
undoubtedly do serious damage to
cotton in Oconee next year. and no
farmer can afford to gamble with the
winter this fall.
Furthermore, as Prof. Conradi, the
State Entomologist, said in speaking
to Oconee farmers at several points
las week, the boil weevil did not
thrive on fall plowing and winter
grain and destruction Of stalks. A
good part Of the boil weevil's win
ter hotel is broken up by these
methods.
