- ■ - — , for them. My friend of many years,
“Chief” Bradford, small bht good
farmer down in Sumter county, sent
me word to come by. And about the
first of September he loaded my car|
with delicious late melons.
! Two years ago he sent for me
! about that same time of year. His
late patch of melons was there by
his house. At that time the little in
closure was a veritable horn of plen
ty. The scuppemong arbor that bor
dered it was loaded with golden
grapes. Melons lay all over the
ground. A row of cream Crider peas
ihad been planted in each middle
land they hung full with that great
food. Between the melon hills had
'been planted tomatoes, and they
i were loaded with ripening fruit. And
on the ditch bank a few late pearh
trees adde their well-ripened fruit
to the array. Surely, thought I, this
is marvelous land that will bring
' forth sush abundance. And then I
realized that there is much land like
that that brings forth nothing to de-
j light the eye. And the old saying
came to mind again, "There is more
in the man than there is in the land.”
Fiendish Desire
; I’m not through with water mel
ons yet.
I I’ve always had a fiendish desire
to see the hind gate come from a
I wagon or truck load of watermelons
. while jogging along the road. Well,
I almost saw it near Lexington the
past season. It had evidently hap
pened just ahead of me, and the
road ran red with juice. And a group
of country boys had retrieved clean
' halves and were feasting there un
der the shade of some trees. I felt
like getting out and joining ’em.
Now I wasn’t glad that man lost
his melons. But 1 do wish 1 had
been there when it happened.
Proof Is in The Poison
Looking back in 1950 cotton crop,
\ these on-the-spot words come to
me:
County Agent King of Marion
says: “In general the growers who
followed through on their weevil
control program have wonderful
crops of cotton.” •
Jackson of Williamsburg says:
"Where the recommended control
programs was followed through, ex
cellent results were attained.”
Bryant of Lee: "Where poison was
u^ed timely and properly, good cot
ton was made.”
King of Dorchester—“Our prospect
for cotton is in direct proportion to
the number of applications of poison
made.”
Brown of Sumter: “Never in the
history of poisoning has there been
so much evidence that it paid as there
is this year. The future job will
not be so much convincing that it
pays but determining the method of
application and proper timing.”
And Johnson of Horry: iJD'espite
adverse weather at the critical time,
(those who followed a rigid poisin-
!ing schedule held the weevil pretty
well in check.”

Industrial
Employment
Sets Record
Washington, Oct. 14—Employment
in United States industry, trade and
other non-farm lines reached an all-
time high of 45,500,000 jobs in mid-
September, the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics reported today.
More than 2,000,000 employes were
added to payrolls since September,
1949. The increase over August,
1950, was almost 500,000.
This rise in employment reflected
expansion of industrial activity and
seasonal upswings in a number of
lines.
The total number of employed per
sons, including those on farms and
in military service, is now more than
61,000,000.
In addition, rising government
spending, advance buying by house
holders and producers, and upward
shifts*in plant and equipment in
vestment plans also have combined
to provide more jobs, the bureau
said.
