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

That’s what nitrogen was called.
I ran across ’em in some old lit
erature and didn’t know what they
meant. 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. The chemist has
figured out that about 35,000 tons
of it are in the air above every acre
of our land and sea. Legumes trap
most of earth’s supply from the air
and leave it in the soil to make the

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

All manner pf greens for the fall

things for the family diet, you’d
better grow ’em all you can. For;
high costs of commercial produc-,
tion and distribution are bound to'
keep ’em high. And grazing is the'
cheapest livestock feed usually.

surely profit from Mr. Schilletter s
monthly garden letter. You can get!
it free through the mail each month j

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.

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

4 ‘My Dodge trucks save a
lot of money on gas!"
soys H. 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

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.
