WISDOM FROM THE EAST

Addressing world conference of missionaries
recently, clergyman declared that "heathens have
good for dsliking civilization because it al
ways introduces the vices and evils of civilized
countries"
He also predicted that the world will eventually
look to the Orient for political and moral leadership
Many missionaries have complained OF increas-
ing difficulties the world war; owing to the bad
impression created by so-caed Christian nations
engaging in that unholy orgy of death and destruc
ton.
Even in peace times it can not be denied that
the prevalence of crime, especially in the United
States, is rather sorry example to hold up to the
heather. No wonder they skeptical of Western
culture and religion when such fruits are borne by
our Wanted white civilization.
Abiding to this phase of the problem another
minister expressed the view that practicing Chris
tanity at home is essential than preaching it
abroad"
There is no doubt that have much to learn
of philosophy and true morality from some of the
Eastern people. The Orientals have been from time
immemorial given to serious meditation these
problems.
We might also remember that Christianity like
all the other principal religions of the world had its
beginning in Asia.

SPEAKING OF FARMERS

What may be accomplished through sound agri-
cultural methods, under the prevailing condi-
tions strikingly illustrated at the recent
Southern region conference of home economics and
vocational education, when awards for outstanding
accomplishments made to farmers and teach
of agriculture.
First prize for cotton growing in the South was
awarded to John A. Arrant of Pageland, S. c. who
grew 3,746 pounds of cotton three acres of land
at average cost of only six cents pound.
A similar award for corn was made to G. l..
Dougherty, Jr, of Faison, N. c., who produced 1893
bushels three acres at average cost of 81
cents bushel.
The lesson to be drawn from these examples of
intensive farming is that the average farmer is Gull
tivating too many acres and doing it in unscien-
tifc and haphazard manner Fewer acres better
preparation of the seed bed, better seed better cu
tvation and better methods of harvesting handling
and marketing what is needed to make farm
ing profitable
If, combined with such practices, each farmer
would see to it that he raises more food for his
family and more feed for his stock his
farm long step would be taken toward placing
agriculture better basis than that which obtains
at present.
