County Agent Grif fin canvassed the dealers and found enough poison had been sold to put about 50 pounds of dust on every acre of cotton. But, of course, it wasn’t used that way. A good bit of their cotton was poisoned right and got considerately more than that, while some got less, and some none. Result—Griffin says: “In every field where the recommendations were followed, good results were ob tained. It looks now as if we will make almost as many bales this year as last on 40 percent less acres. We do not anticipate having to urge them to poison their cotton to control the weevil next year.” And down in Marion the story runs about the same. Listen to County Ag ent King; “Largely due to widespread poisoning, our cotton yield the past year was almost doiible that of the year before. The question the com ing year will not be do we need poi son for boll weevil control, but it will be what kind and how to apply." Boys Are That Way Our preacher came from away off. That made his boy seem peculiar to us, and we picked on him. One cold Sunday they were visit ing us. The old folks sat in the par lor, and we played in the living room, About a half dozen of our buddies from the hills were there too. Ben had learned a new game. He secretly told us about it, and the preacher’s son was built up as the innocent victim. Ben announced that he could hide an egg in that room and he bet my older brother couldn’t find it. Everybody was enthusiastic. My brother went out in the hall and shut the door. Ben pretended to look for j good place to hide it, and one of us suggested he put it under the funny boy’s hat. He kept his hat on in the house for he had been having ear ache.) All thought that a grand idea. Then we called'my brother in from the hall. He pretended to search all around, looking behind pictures, in drawers, in the wood box and all. We were all laughing and wisecracking at him, unaible to find the egg He felt in my pockets and then in those of the preacher's son. And with a gesture of despair, he flopped his hand squarely on that boy’s head, breaking the egg, and it streamed down through his hair and into his face. Well, sir you could have heard us laughing across the road, I am sure We lit out, hid behind the woodpile, and rolled in the straw. We peeped around and saw them bring him on the back porch. They broke the ice in the water bucket there. Poured some of it in the wash- pan. Brought the steaming kettle from the kitchen and poured a littl» hot water in. Then they washed the raw egg from his hair and face. And we had to keep our distance for a while until things cooled off. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE V,.

County Agent Willis says: ' Every effort is being made to carry out this goal” The family cow*, and that means about two cows and a yearling Or so. really means something on a farm when they are over hood deep in grass and clover moet of the time My the healthful nutrition she can add to the family table SU1I in Harness A year or so ago the veteran coun ty agent R. H. Lemmon retired in Fairfield. But he did not go into hid ing. He is still actively interested in the agricultural welfare of the coun ty. County agent Lynn tells me that I Lemmon was recently elected chair man of their county agricultural committee. Lemmon’s service as county agent dated back to the horse and buggy days. He loft home for days at a time, carried a level in his buggy, and among other things laid off many a terrace. You can still see some of these where pine timber now grows He was a pioneer in taking care of timtoer too, and served long as chair man of their forestry group. And he was talking grass and cattle back when many knew grass only as a post in the cotton ptch Fairfield county has lived to see the wisdom in what Lemmon taught Once an all cotton county, it now gets more dollars from pulpwood alone than from cotton. Its pastures are vast and its cattle business is getting to where it really counts. Pastures are still on the up grade there. During October County Agent Lynn set up four new pasture dem onstrations. “The purpose of these is to observe the effect of rock phos phate over a period of year”, he says. And “a pasture establishment dem onstration was held on W. M. dow ny’s farm in the Lebanon community. Fifty farmers attended and saw a two-acre plot transferred from waste land into a permanent pasture. A new type land clearer was demon strated there,” according to Lynn.
