Seen Along the Roadside
By J. M. ELEAZER, Clemson Extension Information Specialist
Suppose It Happened Here
We h$ve seen great ups and downs
in farm prices in the past.
And they have often wrought hav
oc with farmers. 1
Farm programs and support prices
are designed to prevent them in the
future. And that’s surely a noble
experiment.
Where there are no supports nor
a commodity program, we know that,,
prices can still hit the bottom. , |
Look at citrus crops the past sea
son. Oranges got down to 18 per
cent of parity and grapefruit to 17
per cent
Apply thpt same drop to cotton
and you would have 6.54 cents a
pound. Or to Irish potatoes and you
have 32.6 cents a bushel.
Apply it to corn and you have 28.6
cents a bushel. To oats and you have
18 cents. „
Or apply it to our flue-cured to
bacco and you have 8.4 cents a
pound.
Such prices are unthnikafole now.
But remember they have just hap
pened to citrus.
Agriculture is too important to let
such things hit it, if they can be a-
vouded. Supports and controls have
done pretty well in warding off such
disasters with the crops on which
they apply.
Farm organizations, farm leaders,
and all farmers need to study this
matter. And it is not just the con
cern to farm interests. Everyone
must eat * and be clothed. And to
that extent he is interested in what
happens to his producer of food and
raiment.
Disaster can hit citrus, as it has,
and maybe we will still have enough
next year. It takes time to grow
those trees, and they keep right on
producing, with reasonable care.
But with many annual crops it is
different. They won’t produce again
next year without unitiative, planting,
financing, and all.
Bo, a common sense plan for avoid
ing farm price disaster is of interest
to all. It is the surest way of in
suring plenty.
Forestry Field Day
Back in January a forestry field
day was staged in York county,
which was attended by 114 folks,
according to County Agent Miller.
Actual woods demonstrations of
various forestry practices were put
on during the day. Of special inter
est was the pulpwood thinning in
the 14-year old planted woods of R.
B. Oats of Tirzah. The value of the

pulpwood and firewood removed was;
$72.92 per acre. And, remember; that!
was an improvement thinning only.]
The woods were left in^ better shape |
after this was taken out. That fig-;
ures a net income of $5.22 per year
since those trees were set 14 years |
ago. And his growing value is still
there in all of the best trees that
were left. , . •
Farming the woods, not reorder
ing them.
That’s the lesson, the foresters
are teaching us now. Then our
woodlands will yield a perpetual har
vest. And the timber needs of the
nation will be made secure.
Fields Of It
A few years ago we were finding
our way to winter grazing with pat
ches of it here and there. County
agents and SCS men conducted tours
for farmers to see these lush growths
of winter green.
The idea spread. Patches grew in
to fields of it. Then the total coun
ty acreage in most cases was expres
sed in terms of acres. Now it has
grown into thousands of acreas. An
derson county alone had from 12 to
15 thousand acres of it the past
winter. After giving fine grazing aH
winter and early spring, hay and
silage will soon be cut from a lot of
it that got ahead of the cattle.
This winter grazing is coming to
both large and small farms. In fact
none is more profitable than the
good acre of it on the small farm
that carried the cow and mule sleek
and satisfied through the winter.
Thus it provides abundant family
food and it stores up mule power
that’s needed as soon as the land is
dry enuogh to plaw.
Boys Are That Way
I wonder if there was ever a boy
who was easy to get up In the
morning.
Clearly can I . remember how
acutely pamful it was to me. Back
beyond wliere memory reaches, all
kids wake up early, or ours did,
and then there is no more sleep for
weary parents. But that wears off
when they get older and .laziness
takes hold. During the fast growing
age of from 9 to 15 they are hard to
get from between the covers,
i I remember it as though it was
yesterday. My brother and I slept
upstairs in a half story. He was old
er than I and had either outgrown
his laziness or just had some sense
or responsibility and knew he had
to get up and help with the work.
But such a thought never disturbed
me in the least. And I don’t think
I ever got up willingly.
I can still hear the urgent calls
to me, as breakfast progressed in
the kitchen. But I never once budg
ed until I heard one familiar signal.
| And it told me that I had better
hit the floor, if I wanted to eat my
breakfast.
! That signal was my mother scrap-
. ing the gravy from the frying pan.
I knew this was the fiaal stroke to
breakfast, and I lost no time after
that. In 10 seconds I was into my
overalls. Slept irf my shirt, so didn’t
.have to put that on. -In about four
i leaps I was down the stairs and
| landed at the table. Invariably they
I had to make me go from there to
i the back porch to wash face, hands,
and teeth just as if I had never
heard of that routine before. That
was done in quick time too. “A lick
! and a promise’’ is jvhat they said I
j gave each operation. As I got back
,10 the table, the grits w'as usually
being passed, and I was just in
time.
I Such is the life of the boy at that
age. He just doesn’t fit things as
they are. Someone has to keep
, everlastingly after him, it seems, to
make him conform to the usual cus
toms of society. He is purely in the
rough, and many folks don’t under
stand him. Patience is called for.
munity improvemeht.
Serving as citizens in maintaining
world peace.
This the one time of the year
when 4-H members everywhere are
encouraged to take inventory of
their 4-H project work, for, in most
states, it is planting time or nearing
the season when everything must be
in readiness for the work ahead.
•\i ' jj
During the year just ahead, thou
sands of 4-H club members received
<
training in what It means to be a
good citizen in their own communi
ties. They developed a deeper ap
preciation of the American way of
life by practicing democracy at
home, in their clubs and in their
communities.
They sent gifts, valued at more
than $390,000 to those in need across
the seas, ahd they corresponded
with many recipients of these gifts.
And a few representative 4-H club
members helped in the homes of
young people in some countries
abroad.
In their 4-H discussions, they
spent much time trying to under
stand some of the important social
and economic forces now at work
and the steps to take in developing
the good neighbor spirit at home
and abroad. \

Milam Commends
County Manufacturers
Columbia, March 30.(Special to
The Chronicle ^-^Representative C.
L. Milam of (Laurens county; had the
clerk of the house of representatives
read to that body last week an ac
count of a displaced persons fam
ily which had come from Europe to
i Joanna Cotton (Mills. Rep. Milam
! stated that he had the article read
to show that “manufacturers have
a heart of love for everyone,” rather
j than the “heart of stone” that they
had been accused of having by other
members of the house.
Rep. Milam added that he was a
“labor man” but criticized the house
for “this little bill and that little
bill’ detrimental to manufacturers.
He termed Joanna “one of thp finest
mills in the United States.”
