for it continued. So recently Direc

printed. and it is again available
from Clemson or from local county

houses.
The school has long been the
center of community life. That
building can continue to be, ac
cording to Clemson’s V. A. Boyd,
by making of it a community build

Mr. Moore Overcame Low
Blood Pressure Under
Dr. Hart’s Treatment
Wishes To Tell Others About
His Return To Health
“In the summer of 1947
I began to think my hunt
ing and fishing days were
over. I became ill and had
to be off work 9 weeks.
This was the longest pe
riod of time I had ever
been Off from work in my
life.
“For nine weeks ! suffer
ed with headaches, dizzy
spells and backaches. I w’as
being treated for low blood
pressure but didn’t feel
any better. I had no appe
tite, was nervous and los
ing weight fast. I had no
energy and my feet and legs felt tired and weak. Some
times after eating there would be pains in my stomach,
and it was necessary to take laxatives several times
each week for constipation.
“My friends advised me to consult Dr. C. J. Hart, of
Laurens, S. C. He advised me that he was POSITIVE
that he could help .me regain my health. After an exam-
ination he found the CAUSE of my trouble and started
treatments for correction.
' v ...
“I began to feel better the very first day aft*er Dr.
Hart gave me a treatment. I returned to work and grad
ually but surely gained my strength back, even though
I was working every day. I lost that tired feeling, my
headaches, dizzy spells and backache disappeared. My
appetite returned and I gained 11 pounds weight during
the first six weeks, and worked every day during that
time. My digestion improved and bowel movements be
came normal, and it was no longer necessary to takeJax-
atives.
“It has been more than four years since Dr. Har{ dis
missed me and I have had no further trouble. I have con
tinued to work every day and feel good. I go hunting ev
ery opportunity I have during the hunting season and go
fishing every chance I get. Dr. Hart really did put me
back on my feet, and the most wonderful thing about it
is the fact that I have done so well during the past four
years since Joeing dismissed.
“I take this opportunity to speak for Dr. Hart and
what he has done for me. I suggest that everyone sick
and suffering consult Dr. Hart of Laurens, S. C.
“Sincerely,
“G. L. MOORE, 16 Wallace St., Wattsville, S. C.”

$! sertion that maybe we were mi$s-
j ing a good bet in crabgrass.
Now comes our man Nettles, and
; even finds a favorable word to
I say about termites that sometimes
; eats a house down and often dam-
i age timbers in a structure. It is in (
land clearing where termites and
decays help. For when a stump is [
killed so as not to sprout, the ter- ! £
mites immediately start work on
1 it and 3jd the organisms of decay j ;>

! the ground.
i To get this beneficial work out
j of termites, he points out, you must
, kill the stump first, for thy will
j not attack a jive, sprouting stump |
! nor its roots. We now have effec-!:-:
tive ways of killing stumps with j ft
chemicals. Details of that are found
in Clemson Extension Bulletin 113
entitled “Weeds” and under the
section on “Brush and Sprout Con
trol.” Your county agent has it.
Progress In Pest Control
Grown folks can remember when
cucumbers, squash, and canta
loupes were for early summer only
here. If planted later, the pickle
worms got em. I can well remember
the finest cantaloupe patch we
ever had when I was a kid. It was
about two weeks late. Worms get
every melon. And so it was with
even slightly late cucumbers or
squash.
Now I see fine fall cucumbers
being harvested over the Low
Country in September, and at the
same time I saw fine cantaloupes
and squash being harvested in
sight of the mountains of the Up-
Country.
Breeders have given us suitable
varieties and the scientists have
worked out disease and insect con
trols that make it possible for us
to have these things clear up to
frost now.
Improved Income
Twenty-odd years ago our aver
age income per person in South
Carolina was running some 90-odd
percent of that. These encouraging
facts come from figures worked up
by our Dr. Rochester.
Progress for sure! More manu
facturing, less cotton, more grass
and. livestock, a lot more dollars
from tobacco, etc., account ( for,
this. And these things are all grow
ing. So it looks like still better days
ahead for us.
Boys Are That Way
Many recollections of boyhood
are tied to food.
And towards food, I’m still a boy.
wonder what was coming up for
I can well remember starting to
the next meal as soon as I finished
that way. I have to watch myself
the current one. And I’m still a lot
or I'd sure be fat. And to this day
I can't understand anyone saying
they are not hungry. Boy, I’m
hungry- all the time. And it still
tastes good when 1 get full and
make myself stop. Gyess a good
appetite is just one of my blessings.
We had long hours at school
back in the woods from home. We
carried our dinner in a bucket. We
ate that at noon, got out at four,
and were famished after the hour
walk home.
We hit it for the kitchen first
thing. Often it was a baked sweet
potato that was still a bit warm
there on the apron of the stove.
Those things with the natural
syrup running out were good eatin’.
But if there was no sweet potatoes
there, we usually found some cold
biscuits from breakfast. We made
the large ones that were pully and
soft, not brittle and crumbly. They
were not put close together in the
pan, so they had a good crust ail
around. We would poke a finger in
the side and clear through to the
crust of the other side. But we
wouldn’t break that other crust.
We left that to hold the syrup. We
poured that hole full of good old
sorghum syrup that we made our
selves there on the farm. With
one of these in each hand, out we
would go rejoicing.
Occasionally that syrup would
soak through, run down our arms,
and get on sleeves. That sticky
stuff on my sleeve now would be
abominable. But then it didn’t
better us at all. We would lick all
of it off that we could and play
right on.
