To keep from seeing “spooks,” I
looked straight ahead. But Zeke
didn’t. He wasn’t trusting the night.
Back in a shaded gully, a shaft of
moonlight hit on something start
lingly white! In strained voice.
Zeke said, “What’s dat?” “Where?”
I quickly responded. He pointed!

So many folks attempt new
things, know nothing about them,
and fail to follow the best informa
tion that’s available. Our extension
turkey men, Nesbit and Thaxton,
say that more beginners fail with
turkeys for sanitary reasons than
any other. That means dirty ground,
dirty ranges, overcrowding, etc.
Clemson’s turkey bulletin covers
all of this. Your county agent has
a supply.
"Peaceful Acres"
Out in the rugged red hills of
Spartanburg we passed a beautiful
were the West Brothers.
Beautiful flowers were blooming
there in the V of the road that led
in, and well groomed shrubbery
lined the avenue up the hill to the
house.
We stopped, backed up, and
turned in. The yard and the house,
too, told that lovers of the beautiful
lived there. We . didn’t have time
to stop, turned to the left there at
the house, and went out another
road to the highway. Good crops
grew in he rolling fields that were
well terraced. And we saw wood
lands that looked like they had
been recently selectively cut.
I hope to get by there some time
with County Agent Martin and get
the full story.
Soils, climate, adapted trees,
shrubs, grasses, and flowers make
beautification easily possible here.
It |ust takes the desire to have it.
Then the necessary plantings will
be made, and the little bits of at
tention will be given regularly to
see that the harvest is beauty and
not weeds.
Much beauty has grown in town
I sure didn’t want to be behind
then. So I gave it that extra reserve
a fellow can turn on at that critical
moment when desperation has ar
rived.
When we reached our woodpile,
we started turning off the steam
and slowing up. We were all out of
breath, for we hadn’t only been
running at top speed, but it was up
hill and rocky. I sneaked up stairs
and went to bed as my mother said,
I thought you had decided to stay
all night.” Zeke went on down the
familiar path to his house. He
wasn t scared then, for he could see
the glow from fading embers
through cracks in the door. •
Next morning we strutted around
like men. For hadn’t we conquered
the night. We went down the path
o see what that thing was. And
there it was, a frost-bejeweleid spi
der web on a bush.
