wm P»ff Eicht THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Tfcttratoy, April 5, 1951 ■>«r /M t \/J Farms & Folks By J. M. ELEAZER. Clemson College Extension Infor mation Specialist The sickening sights of smolder ing woodlands have been seen rath er much of late, specially in the Low Country. Coming from Orangeburg to Co lumbia the other day it looked like the world was on fire ahead. We had to turn on the lights, even though it was a bright sunny day, when we got to the area of desola tion. The fire had just jumped the road and was burning fiercely in a spot bordering another fine wood land. The man got there as I ar rived. He and two helpers attacked the inferno with a brush, a rake, and a fork. I thought they'd never make a dent on that blaze. But. you know, they conquered it before I left! And his fine young woodland was saved from the ravage of fire. Fighting fire! Folks used to not do much of that. But now more and more of them lend a hand when Mother of Two Praises Hadacol HAOACOi m tinnSwl to _ Hr* Homi tamm XmrtKb tkJkbACOL Wka toaW WW tataffe M w*m ta#** 1 ^** awl sltatataW mmm BMW MtaelW ti the future of timber is thus threat ened. We still have all too many fires for the good of the woods. But we have far less than we once did. Awakened folks see a great future for timber here, if we will but give it a chance. Once our cutting methods were as great an enemy of the forest as fire. But that’s not so now. The pulpwood people rae preaching and practicing better methods in the woods. Much sawtimber is now marked and se lectively cut. And many well man aged timberlands now yield a per petual harvest. Fire alone stands between us and a growing empire of timber here. Farmers and young folks alike are getting a new attitude towards for est trees, especially when they set some out. And how to do that job is demonstraed by the county ag ents, district foresters, and teachers of agriculture, to all who get for est trees to set. A stronger and more general attitude against fire is the greatest need in the woodland now. What a Fruit! The eminent Dr. Camp, citrus au thority at the Florida Experiment Station, told me the other day that oranges and grapefruit will stay good on the tree for four months, or longer in some cases, after they pet ready to eat. But they have to be managed right. If there is too much nitrogen, they will start growing again, get thick-hulled, and deteriorate. That’s the only fruit I know of like that The other sorts all have to be gathered when ripe, and some of ’em mighty quick at that Th# Wild Plum Hazard The “phony” peach disease has been somewhat of • mystery up to recent months.

The old wood burner ar rived at our station with the ice in burlap bags and sawdust all right. We got the ice and had all of the makings ready there on the back steps at home. But, alas, our watering mouths didn't get the — I treat expected, ice cream. On the first of these tragic week ends our mother trusted us to freeze the cream. She cautioned us about watching it and not letting salty water get up too high so as to leak into the friction-top bucket in which the cream was. We turned it back and forth by the handle, as usual, and our sister, who was olcfer, took the top off several times and cut the freezing mixture from the side of the bucket. And it froze fine. But when we filled our sauc ers and lit in, we executed a sud den halt. For salt had gotten in there and ruined our ice cream! I have seldom seen a gloomier mo ment than that. It was so salty that even the hungry cats and dogs wouldn’t eat it. Next week I will tell you of our second ice cream tragedy.
