Persistent Weeds
With chemicals and flame, we
are fighting weeds. And all the new
skills of culture are used to the ut
most in saving our crops from weeds
and grass.
The best men in our land discussed
weed control at the recent cotton
mechanization conference at Bennet-
tsville. And all of the engineers see' 8
that problem as the main one facing.||
mechanization of farms. jh
l With machinery, one man can keep:**
a lot of middles clean. But the prob- i jj
lem that hadn't been completely kol-! S
ved yet is how to get the weeds that j
are in the drill with row crops. !S
With chemicals, we are cleaning 1
up certain bad weeds in vast areas !
Thistle and mustard have been prac- 1
tically eliminated from the grain
fields of whole counties. County}
agents have put on demonstrations |
and much custom work is done by
big tractor-spraying outfits.
All of this is helpping a lot. But |
it remains to be seen if we can exter-j
minate most of the troublesome
weeds from our fields. We knock (
them back to a practical standpoint, i
and that U good. ^
We know that some weed seed
will lie dormant in the soil for great !
periods of time, decades! Yes. the
slumbering weeds sleeps on until its
good day comes. Then nature smiles |
and it comes forth again, if vigilance
is relaxed, to plague the farmer once,
more. Some weed seed will not ger
minate until they are brought near
the surface. Leave them buried and
they sleep on. Turn them up to the
warmth and power of the sun, and
men know once more that they are
there
Knowing these things, the scien
tist and the practical farmer are wag
ing an unrelating war on weeds.
Chemicals, fire culture, and manage
ment all go into it. But out of all
that, the final word has not yet come
But progress is being made One of
the greatest hindrance here In the
heavy rainfall area la that we have
never found the remedy for a wet
spell Weeds still have their day
then

H H Her long of Edgefield told me
that five of his boys have finished
Clemson AU had good jobs scatteed
the country before the war >
They all went to war When they
1 got out. all five came and settled beck,
home He shaid they were tired of

else matters'*
I could see that M Herlong wu
proud when he told me that He
and I beat out of a mooting at Clem-'
son's Farmers’ Week and sat out
there In the shade and talked 1 (
have known many of those Herlongi'
of Saluda and Edgefield And they
are all fine substantial folks that
know how to make their land yield
! its plenty. And everyone of them}
I know is an interesting talker, a
good listener, and likes athletics.
Boys Are That Way
About the tune the willow came ;
in bloom we were permitted to pall!
off our shoes for the summer in the
Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. At
midday we would pull 'em off, goj
1 souse our feet in the cold water of
I the horse trough, and then run in
the soft dust of the red clay road.
iFeet could not stand the rocks,
! roots, .and briers then. So we used
to care for a few days.
As the summer bore on the soles
of our feet became so calloused that
ordinary briers or even small thorns
made little impression on them. And
flint rocks didn’t bother much either,
except in one way. In running and
jumping we would sometimes hit
too hard on a rock. It didn’t hurt
very much then. But often a bruise
of this sort festered and grew black
there under that hard coat and pain
ed us something awful. If it had
been ordinary skin, it would have
soon opened and drained itself. But
not so with these stone bruises on our
feet. They would just linger there.
And we would be so slowed up that
we couldn’t follow our pack, as it
roamed our hills and valleys there
in the good old summertime. We
couldn’t even make it down to the
creek either, walking on heel or
toe. And if we could have gotten
there, we would have feared going,
in, the water. ,To hit an unseen rock i
on the bottom with that stone bruise I
would have been torture indeed.
But after what seemed a long
time, but the thing would break open.
And recovery was rapid after that.
Once I got one •just before cold
weather set In, and that was bad for
a while. I couldn’t wear my shoe.
Yes, we all have our troubles. Ev
en the happy boys in the Stone Hills
of the Dutch Fork.
