Mj/ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist Next Week's the Week August 11-15 is Farm and Home Week at Clemson. It has always been a big week for facm folks. Each year has been better. And Thomas W. Morgan, the general chairman, tells me that this year will be no exception. A whole new department or feature has been added. It is entitled “Hob bies,, Recreation, and Wildlife.” And just about every angle of farm and home life will be dealt with through lectures, demonstrations, and tours. Each county agent has been fur nished a limited number of copies Nancy, here on Friday for a week’s visit with the former’s mother, Mrs. William Bailey Owens.

Yet they were current here before nitrogen had assumed such importance as a fertilizer ingredi ent. But even back then they were beginning to recognize the need for more nitrogen than was normally found in our soils. Manures were the main source of this growth ele ment they called azote and septon. Dr. Hunter tells me that azote is the French word for nitrogen. But 1 don’t know what the word septon comes from. Three - fourths of the air we breathe is this precious growth ele ment, nitrogen.

There is a reference to the beauty of childhood and the claim that it lays upon men. It would be better for a man to have a mill stone tiled about his neck and be drowned in the depth of the sea than to cause one of the little ones who believe in Jesus to stumble. When James and John wanted Jesus to call down fire from heav en to consume the villagers who refused to receive him. t^e Lord rebuked the two disciples and then took his way unto another village.

Much of this damage was . off set by improvements in other sec tions. particularly in the mid-west. Production of corn—the major feed material for meat and dairy animals and poultry — was cut about 7 per cent from the depart ment’s July 1 estimate. But the indicated" crop is still considerably larger than Jast year. The latest "estimate for wheat is slightly larger than of a month ago and nearly 30 per cent larger than last year.

And grazing is the' cheapest livestock feed usually. If you are a new gardener, you’d surely profit from Mr. Schilletter s monthly garden letter. You can get! it free through the mail each month j upon request through your county or home agent. Early preparation pays in the garden. Now’s the time to start Same for grazing. Irrigated Pasture During a recent blistering hot dry spell I saw the gleam of irri gation pipe across a beautiful green hill and vale. And contented cattle • rested on the heavy sod made cool by the refreshing water from a creek. It was the only lush green pas ture I saw on that trip across the state. And I thought of irrigation results I had seen at the Florida experiment station at Ona. Unim proved range made 13 pounds of cattle gain per acre. Improved pasture there produced about 270 pounds of gain. And where irriga tion was added to that the annual gain shot up to over 1,000 pounds of beef per acre! Clemson has graz ing experiments with irrigation too. Last year, for some reason that we do not fully know, the differ ence wasn’t so great. But that ex periment is being continued this year. Other examples of irrigated grazing that I’ve seen have paid handsomely. B071 Are That Way Spring brought its fragrance with flowers, and we loved ’em. But there was one we were afraid to smell as kids. It was the china- berry. Spring was naturally the time for dysentery. And it frequently came about the time the chinaberry was in bloom. So the darkies laid it to them. This superstition was well es tablished, being handed down from one genei^tion to the next. And since some of our most cherished playmates were the little colored children, we learned it from them. We were sorry about this, for Small Rent-Like Payments BRING YOU TO A DEBT-FREE HOME!

A. ROBINSON, Contract Hauler, Mobile, Ala. “On a 200-mile run I save to 2 gallons of gas. I get this saving seven days a week, and on my two trucks that means I sqve over $300.00 a year on gas alone. That’s good, because each of my trucks makes an average of 50 stops per day hauling mail. “My first Dodge truck cost me only $54.00 of repair expense in two years. I ran my second Dodge over 103,000 miles in two years and, spent only $15.50 on it for repairs. “If I’d known what I know now about Dodge trucks. I’d have switched to them long ago and saved myself a lot of money.’’ Sava on maintananca. Rugged en gines and chassis have made Dodge trucks famous for dependability. Upkeep costs stay low because of many special Dodge features like 4-ring pistons, chrome-plated top ring, and wear-resisting exhaust valve-beat inserts. Sava with longjlifa. Because Dodge trucks last so long, depreciation is less and trade-in value stays up. Long life and dependability are the result of such features as alloy steel springs, shot-peened axle shafts, ex tra-sturdy frames, and Oriflow shock absorbers in low-tonnage models.
