It would have taken 24 bales of cotton to pay it then. In 1948 it would only taken six bales. Back there in 1937 it would have taken 4.808 pounds of tobacco, while last year the $1,000 could have been j retired with 1,988 pounds of tobacco. j Back then 1 5.907 gallons it would of milk, have taken while 2,395 Campfire Girls To Organize All girls between the ages of 9- 12 are eligible to belong to the Camp fire girls, according to an announce ment by Joe Beale. This organization is designed to build good moral and Christian char acter with the varied activities in-' three-eights staple. The limited trial would have turned the trick last year. It would have taken 4.680 dozen j eggs then as against 2,070 last year, i In 1937 it would have taken 52 | top hogs to have paid that SI.000 l debt. But last year 21 hogs would i have paid it. And in terms of cattle, in 1937 it would have taken fourteen 1.000- ocund beef cattle to pay it. Last year | four such cattle would have done it. These comparisons have been worked up by Dr. Rochester. Theyj i are based on average prices received by fanners in the United States. | So far this year it is taking a little . more of most of those things to pay . $1,000 of debt with than it did last ! year. \ • Do we neeifi any more reasons for j paying debts now? ‘ If you have old debts carried over from back there, look how much stuff you are saving by paying ’em off now*. As Dr. Rochester has already poin ted out. now is a mighty good time to pay debts. And it will likely prove to be a pretty poor time to make 'em. Irrigation Comes Dave White of MoBee, pioneer with irrigation for peaches in the sandhills, is extending it to cotton this year. He is one of the group of Chesterfield county farmers who specialize in long staple cotton. They are growing a new sort this year, Seland, developed in cooperation with USDA at Clemson’s Florence Station. It was bred from the old Sea Island cotton that the boll weevil did away with. It pulls an inch and eluding, music, recreation and work. Anyone interested in joining may | contact Mr. Beale at 300 Cedar street.

CANNON 406 W. Maple St. Tel. 312-XJ Landmarks of Growth ^ in Farm Telephones Every day, along rural roadways of the South, you ace new telephone poles reaching for the aky. Telephone service has been 8v*>olied to a lot more southern farms during the last three years than during v any other three-year period in history. Right now Southern Bell is building rural lines at the fastest rate ever. And total telephone installations in southern rural areas this year will set a new record. Telephone service is our business, and we are work ing to get it to those who want it as soon as we can. It'll be good service, too—the kind for which America is famous! Because the farmer serves everybody, serving the farmer is one of our most important jobs. And we're keeping right at it. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY planting they made of it last year looked ga^ghty good, according to County Agent Willis. And Clemson’s Duffie was over there sometime ago helping C. S. McLeod plan irrigation for his peach- i es. Mr. McLeod is growing alfalfa successfully on sandy land over there and his six acres of reseeding crim-1 son was plenty good too. This clover is doing well over Chesterfield and 1 | the acreage will be greatly extend ed this fall. Willis was telling me. | j The tour he conducted to see a lot i j of their plantings the past spring was an eye opener to the large group ! of farmers who went on it. Is The Binder Coming Back? I Some years back it looked as if j the grain reaper and binder Was on J ! its way out. The combine was spread-j ing to most of the grain. But this season I saw’ more grain being harvested with the binder than the combine. Others observed the same thing in the;r travels over the : state I W’onder why. Is it that folks, in going to more j livestock, need the straw for feed and bedding"’ Or could it be that , they do not like to leave that straw there and mess up the lespedeza hay that follows most of the grain? Or is it that there is juat too much green, stuff like vetch and weeds in our) grain for best operation of a com- 1 bine .n most of it? Is it the uneven ripening of the gra.n that hampers' 'the harvest with combine? Or is combined grain too hard to keep and, , l.able to heat’ Maybe some of those questions hit at the reason. But whatever it is. the binder sure scored a comeback in most sect.ons during the recent grain harvest. Bovs Are That Way * The honeysuckle had completely taken a part of our scupperr.cng ar- bor. But it w’as built out of heart ;edar and stood on through the years. And a large wild cherry had ! grown up through it there and shad- 'ed it most of the day. On warm summer day«, when I | wanted to get out of some work, i j would hide up there for heuxs at a t.me. It was a perfect hammock. I'd lie there, look into the sky watch- I ing buzzards soaring on high,, and i often fall asleep. The thrush and 1 jor£e nested there and at times pro tested my presence with annoying ! chatter that I was afraid 'would be- 1 tray my hideaway. One day as I slept there a fly or 1 something bit me on the lip and it ! puffed up as big as a hen’s egg. And ! on another occasion the buzz of wasp was heard as ^ mounted my sanctu ary the first time that season. I lost no time getting untangled from those vines and getting aw’ay from there. J Later I returned with a paper tied I to a long pole, singed their wings, and got the nest, a very big one. We used the young wasp in it for bait when we went fishing that afternoon. Eventually this pleasant place went, when they cleared it away to j enlarge the garden. But it had served a great purpose. It gave me the feeling of living in that dream world that is a part of every boy’s life, out in the wilds, in the tree tops, on your own, away from things, where imag ination can go rampant, and work is forgotten. It is cruel to try to crush these day dreams out of a youngster. It is a natural part of their growth. Reality will face them soon enough. And their day-dreaming and make-be lieve will go with their childhood. 200 Bushel Corn? Dorchester county has 56 farmers in their county 3-acre corn contest. I rode with County Agent King the other day and saw some of it. They are shooting at 200 bushels per acre this time. And, from what I saw, I wouldn't be tdo surprised if a yield of somewhere in that range does show up there this fall, if they get the' water. Crops are fine down there. Cotton is excellent. And sweet potatoes were meeting in the middles the first day of June. Not patches of ’em, but large fields. Potatoes are assuming the stature of a real money crop down there, ey had 52 electric potato plant- __ the past season and 50 tile beds, in addition to many on sawdust piles. A TIME EFFORT MONEY!
