Payne & Company usually has to gradually come from further south. And when rather se vere winters extend on down there it is knocked back so far that it only gets back up this far by late summer or fall. Now, this is something new for us, to start the summer off with a liberal supply of the pest already here. And our bug man, Carl Nettles, tells us of troubles to come as a consequence, i And he says we had just as well get I a supply of that material the gover- ; nment has worked up for treating livestock wounds with: It comes in t two sorts. They are called Smear 62 and Smear 82. It fs likely in stock locally. Ask your county agent who i handles it nearest you. This material is ysed both for treating wounds that have become in fested with screwworms and for coating new wounds to keep the pest out. All Together The fertilizer folks of the state are meeting at Clemson July 12-13. This j includes the manufacturers, dealers, i and sal^men. 1 They have decided that their en tire program of lectures, discussions, and tours will hinge on the subpects of pastures and corn. This is in tune with the* times in South Carolina. A few years ago the “Clemson Plan” for producing corn and pastures was carried from the proven experiment to the field dem onstration in all counties by the county agents. The SCS men aided Ja lot with the latter, and the teach- Jers of-agriculture instilled both ideas [into the youth in their classes, i And the fertilizer folks too are an important part of this modern awak ening. And they show their interest by scheduling an entire annual meet ing to a consideration of grass and corn in the new light. Working together like that hastens results. Farm Safety The 4-H girls,' as well as the boys, are participating In the farm safety program. Movies shows by thfe coun ty agents and programs carried out in their regular 4-H meetings point out common hazards on the farms. In Marion county 108 4-H girls located and corrected 852 accident hazards on their home farms. Many of the simple things that could easily - lead to serious farm accidents hah never occurred to them until they were pointed out in the movie and in their Club meetings. They went about correcting them. All 4-H clubs have a similar pro gram of farm safety. And the boys and girls are further taught it at their summer camps beginning now soon. Boys Are That Way It was about the first of June, and on a Saturday afternoon Lattikoo was playing our team, Spring Hill. We took our baseball seriously, and a big crowd, perhaps 100 folks were out for it. It was staged down in our! pasture, as usual. And Zeke, my lit- ■ tie colored playmate, and I were ! minding the break in the rail fence so the cows wouldn’t get out. About the seventh . inning, we. heard a commotion down there on I the field and left our post and drift- | ed down there to see what it was. j What had happened was this. It was the second game of the season and they hadn’t gotten the weeds trampled down much. They got Cous in Bob trapped between first and second base. He was the fastest thing on our team. He played back and forth, as they pitched the ball from one to the other, trying to catch him. The first baseman juggled the ball a bit and Cousin Bob, as quick as a flash, lit out and slid Into what he thought was second base. Well sir, that all but ended the game. When I got down there he was over there in the ditch back of first base washing off a bit in a water hole. it i While this was happening the cows were down eating the corn. Most of the folks left the game and helped drive them back. I was run ning around the edge of the field to head them off and stepped on a thorn. Cousin Ed cut it out of my tough foot with the sharp knife he always kept, and someone peeled a leaf of tobacco from. their plug and slapped that over it, tied it with a handkerchief and all was well. After the game was over we fixed the fence back and all went home feeling that we had had a better than usual Saturday afternoon out ing. at public outcry to the highest bid der, either in or in front of the Court House, at Laurens C.
