/ Page Eight THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, December 6, 1951 I had the pleasure of talking to the Minute-Women of Beaufort one night recently. Those ladies are an earnest, resolute band and they are studying our Government and fighting the new trends toward So cialism, extravagance and uncon- • stitutionality. On my way to Beau fort I called on Editor Smoak of The Press & Standard, an excel lent paper, one of the best in the South. And I marvelled at Waiter- boro, with its two banks of mil lions, its handsome stores and all the evidences of thrift and pro gress. Mr. Smoak is a charming gentleman and a visit with him is a happy experience. I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Smoak also. The present Editor W. W. Smoak is a son of the late W. W. Smoak, whom many of us called “Bishop,” affectionately. Mrs. Smoak and the son of the family are associated with the present “W. W.”, in pro ducing an extraordinary paper. • Before I went to Walterboro I had a visit with Editor H. B. Mag- ill of St. George. Brother Magill is a sturdy man of journalism, a friend I have cherished many years. I like to go into the print ing plant and talk to “the boys”— the gentlemen who “get up” the paper. Those of us who have had printer’s ink on our fingers never get it washed off completely.

The fundamental research conducted by educational institutions and by industry is a vital national asset which has con tributed immeasurably to the growth of America. In its pure and applied research programs, America is again prov ing the value of free private man agement and academic freedom which encourage ideas, ingenuity and the exploration of new untrod den fields.’ As you know, great industrial Companies sponsor research, hop ing that the things they now make may be made for less, or made bet ter and stronger, or lighter or more durable. They hope to reap bene fits from the application of chem- istry, for example. But there are laboratories which are studying and experimenting to see where any course will lead; they may discover something or they may develop something, en tirely unrelated to the Companys’ business.

T. McCrackin, Hugh B. Work- | man, J. F. Hawkins, and Rex Lan- j ford, members of the ’ executive I committee of the Clinton Produc- 1 tion Credit Association, have re turned from Clemson where they i attended an all-day credit clinic held under the joint sponsorship of Clemson Agricultural College, the Federation of Production Credit Associations and the Production Credit Corporation of Columbia.' It was held for the purpose of con- 1 sidering needed adjustments on South Carolina farms and ways of financing them. W. A. Hambright, secretary- treasurer of the Spartanburg Pro duction Credit Association, acted as chairman at the morning session. The first speaker was Dr. R. F. Poole, president of Clemson college, who spoke on the “Importance of Agricultural Research.” Other topics included “South Carolina Agriculture;” “Building a Balanced Agriculture in South Carolina;” “Grassland Farming and Com;” and “Experience of PCA’s in financing General Farming Ope rations and Mechanization.” Taking part in the morning dis cussions were Dr. D. W. Watkins, director of extension; Dr. Geo. H. Aull, head, department of agricul ture economics at Clemson college; H. A. Woodle, leader in agronomy extension work, and John C. Stov er, secretary-treasurer Orangeburg Production Credit Association. Subjects discussed during the af ternoon sesion were “Beef Cattle and Hogs;” “Experience of PCA’s in Financing Beef Cattle;” and “Dairying.” Rufus Clark, general agent of the Farm Credit Administration and president of the Federal Interme diate Credit Bank of Columbia, talked on the “Cost of Money.” J. C. Moore, acting vice-president of the Production Credit Corpora tion, served as conference chair man for the afternoon session, and taking part were t)r. L. V. Starkey, head, department of animal hus bandry, Clemson college; L. C. Braddy, secretary-treasurer, Pal metto Production Credit Associa tion; Dr. C. G. Cushman, leader in dairy extension work, and W. A. Hambright. A summary of the clinic and clos ing remarks were made by Robert A. Darr, president of the Produc tion Credit Corporation of Colum bia. Rex Lanford, secertary-treasurer of the Clinton association, said: “The clinic was most helpful in that it made plain the great change go ing on in the South and the need for specific adjustments on many South Carolina farms. It was dem onstrated that the wise use of cred it in applying the benefits of agri cultural research could increase the income of many farmers several times what it is now. The success ful experience of production credit associations in financing farm ad justments establishes a pattern of formula whereby such loans can be made on a solid constructive basis.” The association here, serving Laurens and Newberry counties, 4n J1951 assisted 375 farmer-mem bers with their financing for a to tal of $508,000.00^ , Plenty Basketball Games On Card Five basketball games three var sity and two junior varsity are on tap for the Piesb(yterian college Blue Stockings during the coming week.
