Improvement Cuttings
When I dropped in on County
Agent Grainger at Manning he was
helping a farmer, George Bagnell,
arrange for advertising the marked
timber he had ready to sell.
This was an improvement that
would leave the 35 acres of wood
land that this man has in better
shape after it was taken out.
Grainger estimated that it would
net him about $35 per acre, or
something like $1,200.
And, folks, that’s the story of
cnhghtment in the woods. • Such
handling as that makes timber a
crop. And the woodland gets bet
ter as time goes on.
What a contrast to the old way!
Hog-around selling, where beau
tiful woodlands become unproduc
tive barren wastelands, clean cut
tings, where you take all in one
grasp, and leave a dead future
there, is becoming more rare each
year now. Our state will mark
your timber for cost, and that’s
going to sell. The old way of hog-
around selling has enriched many
a lumber-man and impoverished has all but gone from our midst,
many a woodland owner. For the And it is a crop we need to bring

Change
I often talk of change here,
change in this agriculture of ours.
It is constant. And it usually
means progress

County Agent Ezell told me that
the few farmers in New'berry that
had tiiem the past severe winter
found them invaluable in carrying
their cattle through.

Boys Are That Way
Earliest recollection carries me,
back to the covered wagon that
brought tobacco to our Dutch Fork 1
once a year at the turn of the cen
tury. It was about the most glam
orous and exciting thing that hap
pened. We were half afraid of
the man. Thought he might carry
children away.
He drove good horses. Most of
our folks had only mules! He had
caddies of plug tobacco and twists
of smoking tobacco that folks chip
ped off with their knives as they
filled their pipes.
To us, he was a man from the
outer world. I don’t remember if
it was North Carolina, Tennessee
or Kentucky he came from. Those
names meant nothing to us then.
His wagon was better than any
around home, it had brakes on it
that you pulled with a lever, and

the harness had brass buckles on

I thought his name was Brown,
as he sold Brown Mule chewing
tobacco. But one fall he came and
sold a lot of Grainger tobacco, and
that confused me. I thought sure
ly his name must be Grainger, and
that stuck with me until the next
fall. Then I stood around the wag
on with the men. I was getting
bigger and was not scared then.
To my surprise, I then learned that
his name was neither Brown nor
Grainger, but Goolsby.
He waa. a kindly fellow that I
would talk with then. He often
camped ovemigth near our home.
I liked to go there and hear him
talk of the mountains, bear hunt
ing, and the distant place he came
from. It wasn’t long though un
til he stopped coming. Drummers
had gotten on the road and I guess
his business dried up. They would
come to the station, hire a hack,
and cover the countryside pretty
well.

!? First Show Starts at Dusk—Second Show at 10 PJL
T hese folks are enjoying something that’s being
pioneered by Buick.
It’s freedom from the blinding glare of bright
summer sunlight.
It’s freedom from hot laps—caused by the sun’s rays
beating down through the broad expanse of
windshield.
These freedoms trace to a new feature you may
have noticed in ’51 Buicks—a new kind of glasst
with a cool, soft, blue-green tint, in every glass area
of the car, front, side and back.
Buick engineers tell us that this "Buick first"
reduces glare 18% over conventional glass—cuts
sun heat as much as 45%—and Buick engineers are
very conservative fellows.
This glare-and-heat-reducing Easy-eye glass is
factory-installed at moderate extra charge. It gives
you a built-in transparent "sun visor” right in the
windshield—and it also dulls the dazzle of oncom
ing headlights at night.
As we’ve said, this is something Buick ||
owners were the first to enjoy. It takes
its place with such exclusives as the valve-in-head
Fireball Engine—coil springs on all four wheels—
the firm power linkage of torque-tube drive—and
the magic of Dynaflow.*
e
As we’ve also said-rather modestly—"Smart buy’s
Buick.”
Come in soon and find out what an understatement
that really is.
