I REMEMBER
BY THE OLD TIMERS
From Mr*. Brrt Riror, Br.rbrrton.
Ohio: I rrmember how the pupils
in the county school which 1 at
tended visited other schools to at
tend a ‘’literary.” We would ride
in a bob sled with straw on the
floor and kept warm with lap
robes. The school house was lighted
by kerosene lamps in brackets on
the walls with reflectors behind
them. The program consisted of
dialogues, recitations, and it usually
ended with a “spelldown" between
the two schools.
From James Black. Ada, Ohio: I
remember 60 years ago when
father would take me and get my
leather boots long about last of
November. How sore my feet would
be, and not just that, they had to
last until April or May. Never got
any socks, but boy. was I proud!
Could go out to Grass Run and
skate Don’t know how many time;
would break through. Never got t
cold, never sick Dr. Walters gave
father quinine powder once awhile.
From Mr*. Henry Adamson, Ish-
peming. Mich.: I remember not
so long ago in 1900, cream was five
cents a pint No one was fined for
speeding Nobody was ashamed to
walk. Vitamin gauges were un
known. Only small boys wore short
pants. Nobody was told. “The line
is busy ’’ Nobody cared for the
price of gasoline. Farmers came to
town for their mail. No one had to
look for parking place.
From Mm Ko neack, Sparta,
Wlae.: I remember when Barnum
and Bailey’s circus headquarters
were in Baraboo, Wise. They had
taken the big elephants to the
portage in the Wisconsin river for
a bath What a tune trying to get
them out* They Just made the big
parade which was soon to start

Over and Over
In 1918, as a young man, I drove
from Columbia to Charleston in a
j T-Model Ford. It was a hard day’s
drive over rough roads all the way.
We were at war. and I saw’ folks
cutting poles for pilings for the
navy yard along the way. They
hauled them with ox-drawn log
carts to the station and shipped
them by rail.
In 1941 I rode from Columbia to
Charleston over surface - treated
roads in a Plymouth in four hours.
We were at war again, and they
were cutting pine trees .along the
way for piling again and hauling
them to the Charleston navy yard
in trucks with long saplings for
coupling poles.
In 1951 I rode from Columbia to
Charleston over smooth slabs of
concrete in a Pontiac in two hours.
I We were at war again. Folks were
j cutting poles for piling in the Low-
Country and hauling them to the
Navy Yard in great trailer-trucks
! that carried about a carloa.
I winder what the next chapter
to this story will be. It seems that
everything was changing except the
| need for trees.
Irrigation Pays *
Few folks got much from their
winter grazing planted last fall.
But Hanna Bros, of Abbeville did.
When I went by there with County
Agent Bull I learned they had had
plenty of good grazing for their
dairy herd all winter
The fall was dry. They planted on
time and irrigated it One of the
brothers told me it was ready for
grazing in 30 days. It was five
months before many folks got any
grazing from their fall-seeded stuff,
out in February, after some moist
ure came and it warmed up a little
And on the winter grazing tour
in Richland with County Agent
Bailey we taw what irrigation
could do again Mr Derrick, of the
ing of a friction-top molasses buck
et that we turned back and forth
by the handle, and this was im
mersed in ice and salt in the water
bucket.
The week before it had all been
ruined by salt getting in the cream.
So by his time, having skipped a
week, we were evermorely ready
to eat, when it came to ice cream.
It was about June then. Strawber
ries that had been fortifying our
ice cream along in the spring were
out. The first blackberries had just
came in, the running sort that gets
ripe first. My brother had an idea
that looked bright. The strawberries
had added so much. Why wouldn’t
those dewberries, too, if added to
the makin’s "for ice cream? So we
picked a batch, mashed them up,
and added them to the aggregate.
We were keen with anticipation a c
we whirled the friction-top bucket
in that pail of ice and salt. When
we took the lid off to cut it from
the sides, it looked a sickly bluish
pink. But that didn’t dampen our
ardor. For strawberries had made
it simply divine. And surely good
dewberries should do the same.
At last it ^was frozen. $apcers
weie helped as tisuak, with % great
pyramid of the frpzeh delight. As
each tasted it, a look of keen dis
appointment came. The stuff was
so insipid and flat that even hungry
country youngsters couldn’t eat it.
We left it. It melted. And the hogs
1 got it next day in their slop.
After that we took no chances.
We had planned to use mulberries
with it for the summer, for they
' lasted. But we never tried them,
1 after the fiasco with dewberries.

Fertilise Summer Pastures. Tool
When a fellow gets of the mind
to lime, fertilize, and seed one of
these new pastures we are putting
m all over the state, he usually
continues to give it the attention
that’s needed for success.
But when it comes to the old
standbys, Bermuda, Dallis, and les-
pedeza, they are usually left to
shift for themselves, as of yore.
Folks, let’s try giving these pas
ture plants, that carried us back
there before we had the good pas
tures we now have a chance, too.
While riding with County Agent
Gray of Grpenville, we went by the
W. J. and Paul Verdin farm. They
had fine fescue and Ladino clover
there in midwinter that they had
handled right. And a big part of
that handling right was last summer
when their cattle were making full
use of their limed and fertilized
summer pasture of lespedeza, Ber
muda grass, and Dallis grass. That
let the other build up a good re-
\ serve of growth for winter.
Yes, Mr. Verdin said it was sur
prising the amount of grazing he
got from that old Bermuda plot
that was made very fertile.
Garden in the Field
Some folks farm with tractors
now. Don’t even have a mule. And
that just about does away with the
old garden. Now we need to put it
out there in the field, and work it
right on through with the tractor.
With modern freezing and canning,
we can grow enough of many things
to last the year through with one
planting there. And vegetables grow
good on that clean land out in the
field.
Boy* are that Way
Our first ice cream had been
mostly good old vanilla. And, my,
how good that stuff was when it
first came to our stone hills there
in the Dutch Fork when I was a
kid! The old wood burner brought
the ice to our station in a sack of
sawdust on Saturday afternoons.
And ice cream resulting was made
in a homemade contraption consist-
