McGEE’S DRUG STORE Phone No. 1 Good Sheep Brough! In Just recently 330 western ewes and 15 purebred Hampshire rams were brought into South Carolina for the purpose of starting small herds of good sheep. They were selected out there by a representa tive of Swift and Company, brought in by the Florence Union Stockyards and Florence Chamber of Commerce, and placed over the state by the Clemson Extension Service. . These sheep went to five farms in Florence county, four in Marl boro, three in Dillion, one in Lau rens, and one in Chesterfield. Clemson’s Gus DuRant says: “Additional cars of sheep can be secured if orders are placed right away. Purebred Hampshire rams have been priced at $75 and the yearling western ewes at $35 a head. Interested farmers tehould contact their county agents about i this.” Sheep all but went out of the; picture in South Carolina in recent years. There are several reasons 1 for this. Dogs and low prices have largely accounted for it. *- Well, dogs are still a menace to sheep. But the price situation has changed drastically. Both wool, and sheep on the hoof are bringing good prices. And as low as sheep numbers have gone in the nation, it looks like they should be a good bet for a long time. With better pastures, a sheep industry is pos sible here, the experts think. Sorry Fence For most things, you wartf a good strong fence. But not for tur keys, according to our turkey man, James E. Thaxton. He called to mind one grower who lost over 100 turkeys last year when they piled against a strong permanent fence. He suggests a fragile fence for turkeys. They will hold 'em. except during the occasional stampede. And at such times it is better for the fence to give way so they won't trample one another. Then you can get them back up. Crop Acreages Feed, fiber and food reserves are a bit low. Therefore, I understand) increased productions are being' planned for 1952. This calls for something like 90 million acres 'of com, 80 million of wheat, 13 mil-j lion acres of soybeans, and enough cotton for about 16 million hales And that would figure out close to 30 million acres of cotton. The farmer has many problems I Lack of labor and machines is; among them. But there is one good side to the picture. It seems the world needs just about every-! thing he can grow. And it has not I often been that way. On many a‘ year it has been hard to pick out anything that looked good. Not so now. Apparently the world needs the stuff, no matter hardly what you grow. And that is the way 1952 looks to those who are skilled in looking 1 ahead. So crank up the mule or| tractor. It looks like opportunity ahead. Hope Returns i In late June I was down in the Pee Dee section, riding with thej county agents, to see the tobacco irrigation demonstrations that our Mr. Lynn had put on with Clem son’s portable outfit. It was dry, awfully dry. But the demonstra tions were looking good. The morning was hot. Midday saw thunderheads appear. And in the afternoon drenching showers brought their benediction to the parching crops. Moisture for the! land and hope to the hearts of the Pee Dee! , I went back in a week. A‘nd-my,t how crops had recovered. Moisture is the stuff for abund ant harvests. We are supplying all else. And here and there I see a farmer or two who is beginning to supply that moisture too. They not only got stands but they kept them growing through the five to I six weeks’ drought of the past spring. Showers eventually came and crops recovered a lot. But the losses from bad stands and poor early growth can’t be regained now. Increase From Irrigaiion Irrigation is so new with us that folks have little conception of what they can expect from it on an av erage. On corn at Clemson it has paid on three crops out of four. And one year the difference was over four times as great where watered. I told you about visiting the H. R. Talmadge farm up in New York on Long Island. There Cornell has done much of its irrigation experi mental work. Mr. Talmadge tol4 us that a 15-bushel increase of po tatoes justified irrigation, or paid for it. Any increase above that was profit for him. For eight years his average increase was 57 busn- els. And the biggest increase he had gotten on Irish potatoes was 211 bushels on the dry year I’visit ed his place. Supplementary irrigation is sim ple insurance against drought. Boys Are Thai Way Last week I told you of those pineapple ices at our country drug store in the Stone Hills of the dividends. But I {lon’t have space now. Will tell you that next week unless I get sidetracked on some thing else again.

BABB Sc BABB, Attorneys, Laurens, S. C. 16-2c SAY “I SAW IT IN THE CHRONICLE** r It’s fine to tell how you caught ’em Dutch Fork on Saturday afternoon. That ice came up from Columbia on the noon train. The great block was in a large sack with sawdust all around it. Anc|her delightful concoction they made there was a vanilla milk ice. Glass was filled with hand- shaved ice, homemade vanilla sy rup added, and about two spoon fuls of condensed milk added and stirred good. , From -childhood those things have stood out as tops in refreshful eating on a hot afternoon. And I often wondered if it was just an- illusion of childhood. To find out, last summer I got a canvas bag and wooden maul. With that I crushed some ice cubes into a veritable snow’. I put the vanilla flavored syrup I had made in, and then stirred in the condensed milk, j Then I reared back on the front! porch and ate that slowly. It tast ed about as good as ever. And soon the sweat stopped too, it was so cooling. The rest of the family joined me wdth it. And soon we were making the syrup by the quart. After working in the yard a while we all get large glasses of the “milk ice” of old and have an old-time set-to there on the porch. Another thing they had at Col. Frick’s country drug store was a lot of penny candy in a glass show case, the first one I had ever seen. 1 Penny pieces w’ere sizeabel chunks of candy then, as big as a nickel piece now. And they w’ere always six for a nickel. In fact, every-' thing was that ,w’ay. On our oc casional trips to Columbia we al ways got some “Baker’s Bread.” It sold for five cents, hut we always got six loaves for a quarter.
