attended the event.
So now 3T 4-H members over
Charleston county have beef type
calves to grow out and offer at
their annual sale next fall. Title'
to the calf is not theirs. The calf,
is theirs to feed out. And when
they do that right and sell the
fatted calf, the money is theirs.

Apple Market Good
The Long Creek Apple Market
ing Authority was organized up in
Oconee the past' summer. Our
state marketing authority aided
them in building a packing shed

beys scrambling for ,25 calves
County Agent Carraway tells me
it is sponsored by their own coun
ty livestock association, and local
business interests and farmers do
nate the calves. Four-H club mem
bers who have suitable arrange
ments for feeding out a calf are
eligible to participate. On a big
night at the fair the calves are
herded together in one end of the
enclosed field. ( At the other end
eligible 4-H members toe the line.
Each has been given a piece of
rope, and at the word “Go,” they
light out for the calves. If a boy
catches a calf, ropes it, and leads it
from the ring, it is his to feed out.
And the understanding is that it
does not belong to him at all un

regulation in the early part for nicknames It was seldom that
a young’un was known by his real
name. So persistent were nick
names that some youngsters hardly-
remembered what their real names
I
were. 1
I was one of that sort. Only one;
person ever called me by my real
given name, Malcolm. And that;
w r as a cousin that died a good many j
years ago.
To start with, my name was
Doodle. That’s all folks knew me
by until I left home for college.
Somewhere along then it was
changed to Doots. I don’t know
just when nor where it was start-,
ed. It just gradually took the place;
of Doodle. But the friends of my|
early days that I had left back in|
the stone hills still called me
Doodle, and they do to this day.!
That name was given me by the!
faithful nurse that helped with!
me when I was a baby. And it ’
stuck.
Our nicknames usually had some
sort of reasonable origin. That is, 1
the names were not just taken’
from thin air and applied. For in
stance a cousin went to then far
away Valdosta, Ga. ( to work. When
he came home he spoke of that
place. So we called him Val from
then on.,
There was a very tall and lanky
old man who lived about a mile
across the hills from us by the
name of Tom. My brother was a
bit that way too, as he was growing
up, so Mike nicknamed him Tom.
But that man's wife had in turn
nicknamed him Dolly. So, learn
ing that, Mike soon changed my
brother’s nickname to Dolly, too
And it stuck for a long time.
