Maple St. Tel. 312-XJ By J. M. ELEAZER. Clemson Colleffe Extension Infor mation Specialist Testing Poisons There are a number of different insect poisons on the market. And there are various combinations of these so as get the different insects they are good for in one shot. Some MQooapappooaOPWMOapnapwr of the ingredients are rather expen sive. 1 With so many effective poisons and combinations of these that scien- | ce has uncovered in recent years, it ; is a bit of confusing at times to know just which to use for what. But i Clemson endeavors to keep us all j straight on this. Each season the i definite recommendations are made ! up and furnished free to all through j the county agents and otherwise. I have heard farmers wonder jf the poison they used was any good. Maybe they didn’t use it right, or used it under very unfavorable con ditions, and didn’t get the desired results. You might wonder what protection the farmer and the njan- ufacturer alike have in such a case. Clemson collects samples of all sorts of poisons and tests them. They , are not only tested to see if they have the ingredients claimed in them. But phey are also tested to see if they willk^U Che insects they are supposed ! they are,supposed to kill. • The big thing in this line is the boll weevil and the poison put ouc to kill it. Clemson grows cotton at | all stages at all times in the green house, and in the field, in season, to test the poisons on. They put live weevils on it, poison it as di rected, put a cage over it and see if it kills the weevils in the right Ume. Be it said to the credit of the i manufacturers, up to this writing all samples have measured up. This is i a protection to both the farmer and manufacturer. The farmer can have j confidence in the poison he buys. And the reputable manufacturer is pro tected against anyone that might be tempted to put out inferipr materials and undersell him. Farm Safety Weex The week of July 23 has been de clared National Farm Safety Week. How appropriate! : . "With the coming of the machine : and electrfcity to- the farm, hazards have been added. But not necessar- 1 ily so, it we understand these new j gadgets. | j We all knew w’hich end of the (inule kicked and avoided exposing ourselves to it. Both electricity and , the machine are dangerous at spots too. We have those to learn. Then respect them too. and the new things won’t hurt us. And around every farm there are common dangers that should be re moved. During this week last year many of the 4-H Club groups over the state made community surveys and had accident hazards removed. And in Colleton county all agencies conducted an intensive campaign , through the schools. To start with tney were, shown a safety film by County Agents Alford and White. It pointed out many common dangers usually overlooked. Then cross bone placard markers were prepared and furnished the children to mark the dangerous things they could find on their home farms. These varied all the way from old open wells there in the tall weeds to jagged broken glass that might find a bare foot, arid from a broken round on a ladder to loose baling wire that might trip someone. Farm Safety Week! Yes, let’s check up and avoid being sorry later on. Boys Are That Way Fond recollection takes me back in June, when blackberries were ripe. And even a bit before that, in late May, the wild dewberries start ed coming in. We kids used to pick them from the ditch banks, heage rows,, and old fields. We would eat the large iusn ripe ones until they no longer tasted cood and our mouths were stained scarlet. Then they accumu lated faster in our bucket, and soon we had enough for our mother to make a “family pie" with. 'leus was baked like any other pie, although without any sugar or but ter seasoning in it. It was taken ou‘ of the stove when done and allowed to c5ol. It was inverted on a large platter. The bottom crust was on top then. It was cut out around the edges, and all of the cooked berries taken out. They were sweetened -tiSippaa inj)q.oi[ap b ojui poaaits pue j pink mass with thick sour cream. . Then half of this was poured back into the crust, the circle of crust that was cut out then put back in, and the other half of the berries and cream "poured on that. It is one of the things that still tastes like it did when I was a kid.
