Then And Now
Let's suppose we had owed $1,000'
in 1937.
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

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.

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.
