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.”

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

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.

the dry irrigated Soutuwest they
have almost completely mechanized

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. Maybe you
have something good available there
that you ha\ Vt become acquainted
