But we treasured our woods and did no harm to those vines; blflck- haw, sandberry, and plum bushes; scaly bark trees,; and the like. Thus given a chance, they continue to bring us their annual harvests. Rep. Bridges Says Game Warden Trying To Enforce Non-Existent Law (Says The Laurens Advertiser^ Game Warden Garvin O’Dell is trying to enforce a game law that is non-existent, according to Rep resentative Justin Bridges. Last • week O’Dell announced! that he intended to enforce a law j “against setting rabbit box«s or traps of any kind.” Mr. O’Dell, in I a story last week, declared "It is j unlawful to even sell wild raobits I regardless of how caught or kill- 1 ed ” Rep. Bridges pointed out yes terday that no such law exists and quoted the following section of the code: “1748-2—Use of deadfalls for certain trapping prohibited—The use of a trap comonly known as a deadfall for the catching or trap- section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction, shall be fined not less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred dollars or be imprisoned not less than ten days nor more than 30 days within the discretion of the court.” He said that a rabbit trap can not be classed as a deadfall which is defined as “a trap constructed so that a gate, log or other weight fall^ upon animals and kills or maims the animal.” Mr. Br.dges sa.d tms law was intended to , prevent cruelty to ani mals and has been in effect since 1923 As far as being unlawful to sell rabbits, Mr. Bridges said that it is unlawful to sell rabbits before Thanksgiving, but that they defi nitely can be sold after Thanks giving. Mr. Bridges declared that game wardens Sidney Lee and O’Dell had appeared before the delega tion last year asking that the trap ping and selling of rabbits be un lawful, "but we refused to pass such a proposal.” ?; < y. FARMS..,.. AND FOLKS I. By J. M. ELEAZER Cemsoti Extension Information Specialist Change In Union I’m told that Union County made 33,000 bales of cotton in 1897. In 1950 it made 3,520. Like many other counties, its roll ing clay lands eroded heavily under a constant cotton culture. Great gullies grew, and large fields were soon cut into smaller ones. Much of the land went out as old fields. Trees came to a lot of it, and now those .areas support a profitable pulpwood and timber business. - Ami 'tine open land too Is under going change, great change. The last time 1 rode with 'County Agent Cochran, I was amazed to see the vast reaches of cotton’s lost acres there that had gone into profitable production of grass. In fact, we were seldom out of sight of it. Mechanized Gotten When I was in Hartsville early in October two mechanical cotton pick ers were harvesting a large field that Coker had produced with 100 per- with yet. Cause For Celebration Editor P. D. Sanders of the South ern Planter said: “I hardly know what the South would be today without the 4-H club program; its contribution today . and what It has done in the past. The tremendous agricultural production that is coming out of the South to day stems from 4-H club work." National 4-H Achievement Day is being obseped &k year. on J* ber 8. And we here in South Caro lina have special cause to celebrate it. We have a 4-H enrollment of 52- 613 in the 1,658 organized clubs. These are boys and girls, black and white. And each club has its adult leaders, and the service of its county and home agents. I have been around long enough to know what Mr. Sanders was talking about. Four-H has led the way to most of the farm progress we see sters fed out And so it goes. Yes, 1 4-H has just cause for celebrating, j Boys Are That Way The other day here I spoke of us harvesting bullaces from the wild woods of the stone hills when I was a boy. A friend wrote asking what was or were bullaces. That fellow must not have been j raised in the country, specially our i section. For that’s all we knew them j by. They are the wild muscadine grape. This fall saw a bumper crop of ’em. I ate them in all sections of the state, and specially down in the sandhills of Lexington. I never saw as many. i There was a bit of conservation in our code as kids. Although that word didn’t come into common use MIDWAY DRIVE-IN THEATRE Thursday November 6 TARZAN AND THE LEOPARD WOMAN Johnny Weismuller COMEDY—2 CARTOONS Sweepstakes $100.00 Friday-Saturday Nov. 7-8 FORT OSAGE <In Color) Rod Cameron r* Z ny c£« COMEDY.

But it was distinctly bad to destroy the source of any of that bounty. For in stance, bullaces were hard to get.

A few depraved people would yank on the vines and pull ’em down to the ground. They would get those grapes. But there wouldn’t be any more, as the vines don't bear well oa the ground.

But day they were doing a simply won- 1 the early calves the 4-H young- the bullace hog wanted ’em all and •derful job of harvesting it with those mechanical pickers. The cotton look ed to me to be as clean as the hand picked sort. And they were getting so nearly all of it that I doubt if it would have paid to go over it again or send hands after whai little was left. At Clemson’s Blackville Station they have mechanized a considerable! acreage of cotton too. Weeds and' grass have been a great problem. | Powers down there tells me he be- 1 lieves they have the elements: wherewkh to whip them. There are still a lot of kinks in it before it can be carried to the average Held. But they have seen enough there to see the full mechanization of cotton on suitable lands as a reality for the not-too-distam future. Ax,d, folks, all oi this is^ood news, spe_.ally if you wisii to see the great money crop, cotton, s k< o witn us. In the dry irrigated Soutuwest they have almost completely mechanized cetton. 14 looks like we are going to have to follow suit, if we stay in the game. t Rural Libraries I c#n well remember when we didn’t have a rural traveling library in the state. Now all but eight coun ties have their bookmobiles that car ry good reading to the far comers. As I recall, this whole thing start ed when some interest was shown by the county councils of farm wom en. At first thqir voice was small. But it had a good and wholesome ring to it, they persisted, and the idea caught hold here and thers and grew. Now it thrives. And country folks, even back In the far places, are now able to commune with the great. minds of all ages, just like others who are privileged to live near good libraries. I see the book mobiles making their stops at dim cross roads as well as along the tor rid highways. And usually there is a little clump of folks there getting books. The home demonstration agent tells me,that their county councils of farm women are still very much interested in this project and it is a part of their aims and objectives for the year. For it is a thin/ that is never finished. It can be made better and better. Your home agent can acquaint you with what’s avail able in your county in the way of a rural library service.
