the past season. 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.

The County Agricultural Commit-
tee of Chesterfield set the goal a few
yean ago of a-few acres of good pre
pared permanent pasture on every
farm for the family cow.
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.

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.
