Early these mornings I see the lil-
righV^so we poured fermenting stuff
outT A colored boy was working in
the yard, tasted it; liked it, and then
drank his fill. The rest was poured
out in a ditch down in the lot. Geese
and hogs liked it too and drank it
all up. 4 - •

came, we found him lying there,
! debd to the world, drunk. And over
| in the barnyard was a funny sight
too. Those pigs and geese had. lost
control of themselves, and were stag
gering, squawking, and. squeaking
I around all over the place.
I have'never seen much in com
mon between a person and a hog.
But drunk ones'are very much alike.

The other moming one group had
built a fire. And; as I passed, several
of them were holding a foot right in
the blaze. Parents there will likely
wonder •why children's shoes wear
out so quick. For nothing wears
■ much faster than half-burned leath-.
Then a little further down the
road I usually meet the bus, picking
up its precious cargo.-The windows
are all fogged over from their breath
and warm bodies. Soon one of them
starts finger-writing there, writing
or drawing something funny. Then
they all start, and there is a rush
for seats by the windows. Jt might
be very cold, but youngsters do not
let on about it.
Schools are being consolidated and
more and more children are riding
to school. Those yellow buses are
to be seen on most roads in the ear
ly morning and mid-afternoons. The
sighting of one should strike caution
in every driver, as he moves along
the highways and byways. For re
member, they carry the most prec
ious cargoes on earth. And the little
ones that make them up are unpre
dictable. They are liable to dart out
when you least expect it.
That “STOP” painted all over the
yellow school bus carries tremen
dous meaning. Observing it fully can
save some awful regrets.
Grass Seeder
Barnwell county bought a combi
nation grass seeder and soil packer
back in the fall, as a boon to their
pasture development. It is~routed by
County Agent Shelley and the local
SCS* man. The charge is 50 cents
per acre. Excellent results are ser
cured with stands of small grass
and clover seed where it was used,
according to Shelley.
Hubbard pf Bamberg tells me they
secured one in similiar manner. And
^everaV other counties have these
seeder-packers. Th land is prepar
ed well first. Then these outfits firm
it, put the seed down, and-firm it
again, covering the seed just slight
ly, as they require.
County Agent Jackson of William-
burg told me several years ago they
had found packing to be of great
value in getting stands of these small
pasture seeds that we^are seeding so
widely now. And an ordinary pack
er is fine. But getting even distribu
tion of these seed' by hand is a job.
The n§w combination machine doefe
both the scattering of the seed and
the packing job just right, according
to those who have used it.
Fat Cattle On Sericea
County Agent Shelley of Barnwell
told me that B. K. Anderson of Dun
barton uses lespedeza sericea exten
sively as summer grazing for his beef
cattle. “They stayed fat all last sum
mer on his 40 acres of it, and he is
seeding more of it this spring,” he
says.
This crop needs to be grazed sight.
And that means holding it down so
jt won’t get tough. For then the cat
tle won’t eat it. If it gets ahead of
them, mowing mikht be needed, so
the tender stuff will come out again.
