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.
A great bank of New York runs
this as an advertisement: “What

Research professors, feDlows and

Industry often uses these scien
tific, facts in producing new or im
proved products. 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

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.

Credit Association
Holds Clemson Clinic
On Farming Finances
J. 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

tion, served as conference chair
man for the afternoon session, and

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

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^ ,
