Ciemson College Extension Infer* (nation Specialist 4-H Promoting Quail W At their 4-H rally day in Lancas ter, Jimmie Richardson and Leonard i* Wilson gave a demonstration in the care and feeding of quail According to county agent Cannon, they used one of the 200 pairs of quail that were released in the county early this year, 1 see a good many counties raising and releasing quail. And a few art trying pheasants too. In this day of clean culture and wide terraces that you work eight 1 on over, bird feed has been greatly reduced. The experts feel that this reduction in food and cover largely account for depleted game birds. So, hand in hand with these introduc tions of birds is coming the planting a of bird food plants too. Many pat ches ol lespedeza bicolor have been planted at many placet with seed lings produced by the state game commission and distributed through the soil conservation district super visors. And both the annual lespe- deza* and serlcea are being grown m areas where quail are to be lib erated. Livestock Market In York At first our livestock development took root in the lower part of the state. And. naturally, the first mark- * eting lacilitias grew there. But now every month or so I learn of this development creeping further up-state. County Agent Miller of York saw the need of a market up there, and he wdrked with interest ed local folks to that end. One hun- m dred and thirty-three farmers each ^ put up $100 knd they opened their new market on May 11. Cattle and hogs sold on the opening day brought $23,428.91.. Buslnr—nMi’g Pasture Tour Live businessmen too are interest ed with what’s happening on the » farms. County Agent Lee of Chero- . kee arranged a pasture tour for them * sometime ago and 20 businessmen from Gaffney and Blacksburg made the round and were well impressed. Down in Colleton a similar tour was conducted back in the early spring. Great change is taking place in our basic agriculture, and it is good £ for our businessmen to keep attuned " to it. For it has great meaning for our future. Poultry Grows In Spartanburg * I told you ol the fine poultry-dress sing plant that opened in Greenville sometime ago. Back in May Spartan burg county opened its fourth poul try-dressing plant. County Agent Martin tells me they have a poultry association, that he works closely with, that is doing a good job in ad vancing this industry. This populous Greenville-Spar* ^ tanburg area eats a lot more chicken than it produces, our marketing man, Bob Martin, tells me. So there is a local market for an increased broil er production right there at home. And these local dressing plants offer the fanner the marketing service , that’s needed.

Boys Are That Way It was during a hot dry July, be fore we had learned to go to the creek. Up to then the old washing hole for us had been down there in our pasture in a small branch. At one place our branch meander ed out through an open bottom. It had stopped running, but a large puddle had been left out there in the sun where the hogs wallowed. We ran the hogs out and rolled in that thin mud until our bodies were well coated. Then we lay out in the sun to let it dry on us. With those masks of dried mud over our bodiqs, it sure felt funny when we firsf moved around. I', would pucker a bit, crack and faJ off as wfe cavorted around. After we had played out at that, we went on down in the woods where there were still a few small holes of water left and rolled over In it a few times. That got the wont of the mud off, but a film was left that didn’t bother us for the time being. But when our mother saw those bed sheets we hsd si night we were called in to explain She hsd never seen any sheets like those. What boys will do! Wallowing! there In the mud with the hogs! ti» • wonder any of us survived. But an all-seeing Eye seems to waten over them. made to the Republican government in two weeks. Loan was granted last February, but credits have been withheld pend ing negotiations to determine how the money would be spent and repaid. Indonesia submitted a list of spe cific projects, chiefly of a selfsus- taining nature. Bank officials are now poring over details. One of tre least noted Washington casulties of the Korean trouble is the forthcoming gray report on now to cope with European nations’ dol lar shortage. Little is heard about it. Former Secretary of the Army Gordon Gray was assigned to study the European dollar gap and advise j the President on means of closing it! before he leaves Washington in Sep- | tember to become president of the University of North Carolina. The Korean crisis and the U. N.! defense preparations for similar Rus- ' sian-eagineered coups de’etat have made the question of boosting for eign trade and U. S. imports academ ic. U.S. imports are soaring; exports will decline sharply because of de- j fense requirements for strategic : equipment. Gray’s report is due to reach the ! President’s desk late nexi month. Gov.-elect James F. Byrnes of! South Carolina politely declined an invitation to testify on the defense} production bill giving President Tru man special war powers over the U. S. economy. Sought by Republicans as a witness, Byrnes told Banking and Currency Committee Chairman Burnet R. Maybank, senior U. S. Senator from South Carolina, that he preferred oot to come to Wash ington. JIG-SAW PUZZLE HEADACHE Johnson Quizzed Barbecue at Mountville | Wed. Augr. 9th 4:30 P. M. Everybody Invited Walter F. Lynch Washington. July 2i—Defense *%«•- cretary Louis A. Johnson finds he has to justify past economics in the arm ed forces as well as requests for $10,- $00,000,000 for future military re- qutremenU. Johnson faced a barrage of ques tions at a closed-door Senate appro priations committee on cutbacks in defense expenditures made a year •go The Secretary admitted slashing expenditures, claiming be was fol lowing policies adopted by his pred ecessor, the late James V. Forrestal Moreover, said Johnson, the budget estimate for the Defense Deparlmert in the last fiscal year was prepared before be entered th cabinet, was based on the administration's desire for balance in civilian and military expenditures, and was approved by the joint chiefs of staff. Johnson insisted the U. S. is mil itarily ready tor any eventuality, re iterating similar statements he has made in the past. If and when they’re revived, price controls will be much more popular than in the immediate postwar per iod, when they cost the Democrats control of Congress (1946). So think administration mobilization-planning officials, who have been persuing the recently dusted-off records and reg ulations of the old OPA. Preliminary soundings in Congress have been made by administration leaders on a rollback to June 25 price levels as the initial step in a new Of fice of Price Administration. North ern Democrats agree this action is desirable. Another war agency being consid ered for revival is the War Labor Board. Plans for W1LB are still in the embryonic development stage pend ing adoption of an allout mobiliza tion program. Present talk centers on a panel of eminent citizens spe cializing in labor-management rela tions to settle disputes in strategic industries in instances where a threa tened strike is not big enough to warrant Presidential intervention. Sen. Frank Porter Graham (D., N. C.) defeated in the Democrat!? pri mary runoff by Willis Smith, Ral eigh attorney, is mentioned for such a post. Graham served on War La bor Board with Sen. Wayne Morse (R., Ore.) Graham called on President Tru man the other day, said he was not job-seeking, had no plans for the future until he finishes his term in the Senate in December. t As far as President Truman is con- cerndd, Congress can adjourn sine die by August 15, ending this session of the 81st Congress—if “must” em ergency bills are passed by then. The President was told by Speaker Sam Rayburn (D., Tex.) and House Ma jority floor leader John McCormack (D., Mass.) that House members are eager to get home to campaign for re-electioi). Mr. Truman replied he saw no reason why Congress couldn’t do so after passing pending bills and leg islation for economic controls as well $10,500,000,000 in supplemental de fense appropriations.

This was evident from recent sur veys disclosing that inside as well as outside the home a flashlight is a virtual “must” for night-time home safety and convenience. The principal uses of flashlights revealed by the surveys have just been summarized in the following Winchester-Bond **10 Command ments for Safety in the Dark,” as a contribution to the National Safe ty Council's campaign to prevent accidents: 1. Carry flashlights on dark stair ways to prevent falls. 2. If you walk on highwajrs at night, carry a flashlight. $. Don't ride a bicycle at night without a flashlight 4. Keep taro flashlights In your car; one for changing Urea, one for safety signalling by your companion 5. A handy flashlight in the kil- cben will light up outside chorea at night or trips to the cellar. f. A luminous flashlight near the bed eliminates stumbling and grop ing for light switches 7; A flashlight will help you find the right medicine in darkened bath room cabinets, or to make a throat examination. 8. Use a flashlight when gas fumes 5re suspected to prevent fire or' explosions. 9. Use a flashlight when you are changing electrical fuses to avoid touching exposed contacts. 10. When you check the nursery or baby's crib, use a flashlight to prevent flare. $35,000 Needed Before Lourens Hotel Can Be Erected Soys The Laurens Advertiser: Directors of the proposed new Laurens hotel learned last week that $35,000 in additional funds are need ed before construction can begin.
