SECTION TWO—
HOME ORCHMIS SUGGESTIONS
♦
The Orient Pear lives, thrives and
bears a wonderful crop amid blighted
Keifers and Bartletts, says C. W. Ov
erman, County Agent. This statement
is based upon observations made by
Extension Horticulturist John H. Har
ris.
The new Orient pear is highly
blight resistant. It is a thrifty grow
er and produces a delicious fruit for
eating raw and cooking. It requires
a neighbor such as the Keifer for best
polination. With good plination it is
a heavy producer.
The County Agents are assisting
people in making up club orders for
fruit trees and plants. By ordering in
larger quantities you can save on the
cost. The agents know the varieties
best suited to this area and will help
you select varieties and plan your
orchard—you can purchase your trees
where you desire. From now until
February is the ideal season to set
out the home orchard, Mr. Overman
says. Strawberries and dewberries
should be set in February and March.
But—don’t set trees and plants unless

By James Mackenzie «
Prayer is an instrument that God j
has placed in the hands of His peo
ple, not in order that we might get \
what we want, but that, through it,
God may get what He wants. “Pray
er,” a someone has said, “is not con
quering God’s reluctance, but laying
hold of His highest willingness.” We
should pray, not that we might per
suade God to go along with our own
petty plans and desires, but that He
will bring us to the place where He
may work out His sovereign purpose
more effectively in us, and through
us.
As Clarence Macartney puts it:
“There are answers beyond our an
swers—that is, beyond what seems to
us an answer. David lay on the
ground all night and prayed for the
recovery of that child of love and sin;
but the prayer, as he asked it, was
not answered. The child died, but
David did not cease to pray and to be
lieve in prayer. He comforted him
self and said of the child, “I shall go
to him, but he shall not return to me”
(I Samuel 12:23).
Paul prayed earnestly, if ever man
did. He besought the Lord three
times that his grievous and painful
thorn in the flesh be taken from him;
but his prayer, in that form, was not
granted. The thorn remained to
pierce and harass him to the end of
his days. And yet at the same time
God answered him when he prayed,
and this was his answer, “My Grace is
sufficient for thee” (II Corinthians
12:9). Paul found that to be the an
swer to his unanswered prayer.
The value of prayer isn’t always in
the effect it has upon God; more of
ten it is in the effect it has upon the
person praying.
Sometimes prayer is a road to rise,
A mountain path leading toward the
skies.
It isn’t a shibboleth, creed or code,
Nor always a pack horse to carry
your load;
And often the reward to the person
who tries,
Is not in the goal, but the exercise.

I Now is the time to prune.
■ vines especially should be pruned- in
t November and December to avoid
- bleeding.
Grapes bear on new shoots which
come from the previous season’s wood.
’ This means that we need to get rid
• of a large portion of the unproductive
1 old wood each year. For bunch grapes,
i select from four to six fruiting canes
: of the newest growth and tie them to
i the wires, cut the new branches back
to eight or ten buds. Scuppernong
; vines should have the dead wood re
-1 moved. Six to eight of the younger
i vines should be left and all other
! wood cut out. Then cut back the
i branches on the vines to eight or ten
' buds.
Apples and pears should be thinned
: out, not cut back. Peaches should be
cut back leaving about 6 to 8 inches
; of the new growth. The center should
be left open except for slender fruit
i stems which also shade the trunk.

the earlier estimate made by the Ser
vice. ,
Lint yield per acre turnout is es
timated at 280 pounds—lo pounds
I lower than earlier seasonal forecasts.
This is 86 pounds or 24 per cent be
low the 1952 cotton yield and 19 per
cent below the ten-year average yield.
The smaller yield in 1958 is attributed
both to heavy weevil infestation and
dry weather. Total production of 463,-
000 bales estimated compares with
569,000 bales for 1962 and 522,000
bales for the 1942-61 average crop.
As of December 1 the crop was
practically all harvested and ginned.
Weather conditions for harvest have
been ideal and the crop has been har
vested more rapidly in 1953 than for
any year on record.
