A New Calendar
y
' I’ve just hung a new calendar
above the desk.
It carries the outline for a new
year. Its 12 pages don’t look much.
Yet they contain all of the time we
get out °* a year. Brief indeed is
a year getting, as mine begin to
stack up right smart. I’m four
years older than my daddy was
when he died. And I thought he
was a rather old man. Yet, when
our class had its 35th reunion last
June, we had a big time, and still
spoke of “us boys”. Out of 118,100
are living," and 50 were there. •
This year is sure to bring change,
change in everything. This chang
ing agriculture is sure to be cutting
cart wheels of change, too. It hps
been changing awful fast in qui
recent years. And this change is
coming on wheels and hoofs.
Mechanization has been bent to
our needs. And with it, a man can
come up with a multiplied harvest.
Grass begins to grow in the field
and we welcome it for the coming
herds."
For a young and intelligent man
starting out, the soil offers more
than it ever has. With a mechan
ized diversification, including grass
and livestock, with soil saving and
soil building, he can produce a lot
more himself than he could under
the regime of a mule and a tilled
row.
So, even though the calendars
don’t seem to last long now, they
bring a greater reach to the man
ho tries hard. And rewards are

out yonder that the distant past did
not know. Maybe we should wel
come the new calendar for . the
promise it holds. ^The only trouble
is, there are so few of them for any
of us, and they are going dp. run
out so soon. Therefore, w6 had Bet
ter use ’em well.
Pond Evaporation
I’d often wondered how mpeh
water evaporated from a pond, or
any open surface of water. Dr. Cal
houn of Clemson determined that
for this area years ago. He says it
amounts to about our rainfall, or
an average of about an inch a
week. Of course at is faster in the
summer and slows down in the
winter. We are building many
ponds over the state, and this is
something to keep in mind. Large
shallow ponds will lose a lot more
water than smaller deep ones with
the same storage capacity. But
there is not much you can do about
this, of course. For at best, you
possibly only have a pond site or
two, and you have to largely take
them as they are. However, there
are some things that can be done
to make ’em deeper. One is to ex
cavate in the basin for dam-build
ing dirt.
Building and caring for farm
ponds is covered in Extension Cir
cular 276 that’s free from your
county agent. And he and your SCS
man ran help you with other par
ticulars on construction and man
agement of a farm pond.
Irrigation From Wells
County Agent McComb of
Orangeburg reports:
“Two farmers dug wells for ir
rigation this month. Much experi
mental work is necessary in this
undertaking and both are moving
cautiously and hoping for satisfac
tory results. One such well dug last
spring furnished sufficient water
for a successful season’s irrigation.
On the same farm another well
was dug the past summer. Irriga
tion is definitely on the way, and
in the next few years we should
see many systerhs where the nec
essary water is available.”
^.Geologists feel that there are few
places in this part of the country
where we have sufficient ground
water for large-scale irrigation.
But we might find that we have
more than we thought.
Ditching With Dynamit*
Assistant County Agent Fant of
Yofk tells, me that a dynamite
ditching demonstration was held on
the farm of C. L. Boyd. Forty
acres of good bottom land were
drained with the 1,600-foot ditch
that cost $305 to blow out. It aver
aged four feet deep and eight feet
wide. Clemson’s M- C. McKenzie
has given such demonstrations in
practically all counties of the state.
Boys Are Thai Way
I usually drove that early Ford
for the country doctor there across
the road from us, counted it a great
privilege: But- one day it was not
convenient for me to go. So he and
a big fat cousin of mine lit out in
mid-moming for Columbia, 20
miles away. . '
Down the road about four miles
a quick shower preceded them. The
doctor knew nothing about driving
on slick roads. There was a steep
down-hill there by OHie Derrick’s
pasture. Going down that, the car
started skidding towards the ditch.
The doctor slammed on the brakes.
The car whirled around, slid into
the ditch, and turned over, pitching
them out. Cousin Rob was thrown
High in the air, as he was on the
off side. He landed squarely on
Ollie’s rail fence, breaking severt-of
the ten rails as he came down. He
steadfastly maintained that /those
rails saved his life, by breaking the
momentum of his fall. f
Another cousin, John Green Hil
ler, came along. What a laugh he
had! He got off his horse, helped
them turn the car back over, and
they proceeded on to Columbia,
none the worse for their experi
ence.

Senate Election
Year To Prompt
Speech-Making
Columbia, Jan. 1.—There’s a lot
of speculation, as always, on
whether the second regular session
of the 89th General Assembly that
convenes here Jan. 8 will be long
or short.
Long or short, you can be sure
of one thing—tnere’U be a lot—of
speech-making. It’s an election
year.
All the representatives and half
of the senators come up for re-
election this year. Most of the sen
ators and a lot of the representa
tives will be seeking reelection.
And that usually is the trigger
to set off a lot of speeches good
for home consumption.
The speech-making doesn’t nec-
cessarily mean a long session—but
it often helps. Especially if a fili
buster develops, and pre-election
sessions are fine stages for filibus
ters.
The electioneering that will take
place in the Assembly probably
will be confined to local issues
since there are no statewide elec
tions this year. No state offices
and no U. S. Senatorships are at
stake, as there were before the
1950 session, when there was so
much speech-making in the Assem
bly. ><!> _
There’s no way of telling* just
how many, or who, among the
House members will seek reOlec-
tion. Many of them don’t know
themselves yet. But the Senate,
half that comes up for additional
four-year terms usually presents a
reelection front.
Colored Seal
Rally Is Held,
Quota-Oversubscribed
Minnie J. Irby, health worker,
reports that the annual seal sale
rally was held at St. Paul Baptist
church Wednesday Aight, Dec. 19.
The county had been divided into 3
areas. Gray Court area reported
$533.76; Clinton was $603.65; Lau
rens area, $673.71. A total of
$1811.12 was reported, a goal of
$1500 had been set.
Additional reports are being re
ceived daily. Dr. C. O. Spann of
Union, was the guest speaker and
was introduced by Mrs. Elel fin-
leny. Chairman of the vanous
areas wish to thank all for the fine
spirit of cooperation. A $50 schol
arship will be awarded to a San
ders high senior of the Laurens
area at the 1952 commencement
exercises.
