THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
When you’re using pins for sew
ing, wear a small pincushion at the
wrist (left wrist, if you’re right-
handed), held with an elastic. In this
way, pins can be salvaged very eas
ily by putting in the cushion as soon
as removed from the garment.
Always tuck the end of the thread
onto a notch on the spool and it won’t
unravel when in the sewing box. If
the notch breaks, it’s a simple mat
ter to make another one immediate
ly with a razor blade kept in the
sewing box.
If you do sew regularly, you should
have three pairs of scissors in the
sewing box; for cutting, an 8-inch
pair, for finishing seams, a pinking
shears, and a small pair for cutting
buttonholes, ripping seams and snip
ping thread .
To pieserve needles from rust, cut
a piece of woolen material long
enough to accommodate your long
est needle, and wide enough to hold
several sizes. Pink edges and use
for sticking needles when not in use.
Keep several small, labeled boxes
in the sewing kit in which you place
discarded buttons, zippers and snaps
taken from clothing that is of no fur
ther use.

There is nothing just like the aroma
at the wheat mill, as it turned out
our flour. And there at the old vfrat-

rhythmic rock ground out our meal
and grits, is fragrance to be remem
bered.
The drug shelves too in the hall of
our home, where my father, the

* And the picnic basket! Man, what
fragrance it carried! Wrapped in
white linin, those tempting viands
had built iup such a medley of good
ness in that odor as to be all but
overpowering to hungry kids, when
it was opened up there with others
on the long table under the shade
of summer trees.

later on. And that odor only comes

The mountains were lost in the t ^ e same bewitching fragrance, as
cool mists of morning when I left worked with mortar and pestle,
for down-state the other day. But, | f a i n t odor 0 f new cloth, from
as the sun broke through, they soon w hich they made our clothes, car
shaped up against the azure sky. And
it was then that the work of autumn
began to show on hill and hedge.
The wild asters were gay with,
bloom, and goldenrod brought its
pure yellow to many a spot. Grass-1
es were purpling for the finish, and
the new spider webs glistened there
with dew. Pastel shades of vivid col-!
or were coming to bush an tree, wild
grapes were ripening on the vine, and
persimmons were getting wrinkly
ripe along pleasant pasture lanes.
A rabbit crossed the road, and he
had a livelier hop. And doves were
seen back in droves, after their
summer pairing.
Children waited for the bus in
bright new school clothes, and smoke
was again coming from the chim
neys.
After my first stop, the car bat
tery failed to budge. Just another
sign of approaching winter. The old,
wheezy battery will usually hold out
until the first real cool morning gives
it a greater load. Then it passes out.
An<f thus the beauty of a brisk fall,
morning was marred a bit. For there |
is nothing aesthetic nor beautiful in {
a car that won’t start.
We Needed This
We talk often with you here about)
the growing value of grass. And
grass calls for cattle. Without cat
tle, grass loses its meaning.
Grass in its new role, not as a;
pest, but as a full-fledged new crop,
when we apply latest know-how to
its culture, is what I'm talking about.
And cattle are coming as we grow
the grass for them, both dairy and
beef cattle.
To fill a distinct need, Clemson 1
specialists have prepared a bulletin
entitled Beef Cattle in South Caro-,
Una. It is free from your county
agent. Those with grass need It.
For they need cattle. And this car
ries a lot of beef cattle know-how.
Fertiliser Prospect
With war prices returned to cot
ton. Uvestock, and most other crops,
the tendency wiU be to use a lot of
tertiiudr tbs coming year.
Look at cotton, the crop that uses
most of the fertilizer. Less than a
! year ago the outlook was for a bur
densome carry-over and controlled
production. But war came along. A
lot of it was used. A short crop was I
made And now it looks like we
might face a shortage of cotton. And
so are the uncertainties that war
throws m our path. i
Controls have been Ufted from
cotton for 19M.
Costa will be high and farmers wUl
be shooting for high yields of every
thing they plant. For that's the only
wgy thfy can hope to make a profit.
All of which adds up to a big de
mand for fertilizer. .
Russell Coleman, president of the
National Fertilizer Association, tells
us this: “Fertilizer supplies will not
be adequate unless there is an early
and a constant flow from the mines
and the factories to the farms.”
And he says further, in substance,
that mines and factories need to run
the year around, if they are to sup
ply the needs. But they can't do that,
if everyone waits until spring to buy
his fertilizer. For there is just not
enough storage space nor facilities
to get all of that out and distribute
it in so short a time.
In recent years many farmers who
have proper storage have gotten their
fertilizer, or it least some of it, ear
ly. And all of this helps next spring
jwhen everyone wants it at the same
time. ,
Another Giant
Fairfield county leads in the pro
duction of pulpwood in the state.
Last year it produced 76,5S1 cords
of pulpwood. That brought more,
loaded on the cars, than its cotton
crop did.
I talked with the leading pulp
wood producer over there. He said
they were doing no clean cutting ex
cept in the rare cases where the
owner was putting the land in cul
tivation. Much of it is selectively
cut, according to County Agent
Lynn, and on most of the balance
seed trees are left. Building for the
future there. They have long had a p
forestry association, of which their
veteran county agent, R. H. Lemmn,
(now retired) was chairman.
Boys Are That Way
Last week here I told you of fra
grant odors remembered from boy
hood in the deep country. I filled the
space and wasn’t nearly through. So
here are a few more.
The odor from the barn was good.
Maybe not to an outsider. But to us
who were so dependent there, the,
medley of odors was like security to|
us.
The compost heap, simmering in
a corner, was insurance of the next
harvest.
The pile of corn, perhaps a bit I
musty from moth and weevil, and
pungent at spots from the wary rat,
looked good to us and we accepted
Its odors.
The sweet aroma of fodder, hay,
that way than cut with a knife. The
delicious red meat does peel out in
cleaner chunks, if you are to eat it
by hand.
Odors from the past. Like mem
ories, they fill our recollection. And
we like to dwell among them.
