New Sunday Schools
Being Organized
. A daily vacation Bible school has
recently been conducted at Rain
bow Springs from March 20 to 25,
under the direction of R. 1 H. Hull,
American Sunday School Union
missionary. The Bible school was
held in connection with the Union
Sunday .school, enrolling 43 child
ren with an average attendance of
30. Miss Lillian Calhoun of Rain
bow Springs' assisted Mr. and Mrs.
Hull in the; school, the final pro
gram being presented on Sunday
morning, March 26. Outstanding
features of this school were the
singing of Gospel choruses and the
memorizing of scripture.
Evangelistic services were also
held each night with good atten
dance. As a result of this meeting
and vacation school there were five
decisions for Christ and an in
creased interest in the program of
the Sunday school.
Besides the new work at Rainbow
Springs two other union schools
have been recently organized. The
new Commissioner creek school is
located between Mulberry and Bet
ty's creek in Macon county and
Pleasant Grove is 12 miles from
Highlands, in the southern tip of
Jackson county. Investigation in
this latter community revealed that
there had been no Sunday school
in this locality for over a year and
the closest church was from 10 to
12 miles away.
Mr. and Mrs. Hull have now.
organized nine schools, on this field
with a present enrollment of 28
teachers and 431 scholars. In these
various communities, hitherto un
reached, children and parents are
now given the opportunity of meet
ing together for the study of God's
Word. Christian friends of Macon
county are urged to pray for God's
continued blessing on this home
missionary work.
LETTUCE IMPROVES
The lettuce crop of southeastern
Carolina, hard hit by cold and rain,
has improved greatly in recent
weeks, reports J. P. Herring,' veter
an farm agent in that territory. Mr.
Herring, says the growers re-set as
far as plants were available but
that these late plants will have a
hard time naturing quality heads.
The crop of garden peas was al
most wiped out, he said.
SMALLER
This year's American corn acre
age will be the smallest in 40 years,
and the area sown to wheat will be
18 per cent less than last year, pre
dicts the Federal Crop Reporting
Board.
Fertilizer Improves
Growth Of Lespedeza
Experiments in Rowan county
have proven that lespedeza needs
lime and .superphosphate when it
is grown on poor land, reports
Enos C. Blair, agronomist of the
State college extension service. "It
is true that the lespedezas have a
reputation for 'bringing back' land
too poor to grow crops with- prof
it, or land that has been abandon
ed because of low fertility, but a
little fertilizer will greatly increase
the value of the crop," Blair stated.
In Rowan county Korean lespe
deza was seeded. on poor land with
out . fertilizer treatment for two
years. The plants reached a height
of more than two inches only
where row crops had been fertiliz
ed previously. This growth was,
limited to a narrow bind right
where the fertilizer was placed in
the previous year. Most of the les
pedeza died when about two inches
high.
When the. land was treated with
lime and superphosphate, there was
a marked increase in growth. On
untreated plots Korean reached a
height. of one to three inches; with
lime alone, four to 13 inches; and
nine to 17 inches where lime and
superphosphate were both applied.
. Kobe and common lespedezas
grew four to six inches on un
treated plots, six to eight inches
with lime, nine to 11 inches with
superphosphate, and, eight to1 16
inches with both lime and super
phosphate. Sericea showed the same
trend in growth with fertilization.
It reached a height of 20 to 30
inches with lime, 26 inches with
.superphosphate, and 30 to 40 inches
with both lime and superphosphate,
compared with 16 inches on un
treated plots.
