big hominy. We cooked big hom
iny ourselves in the wash pot, with
hardwood ashes thrown in to soften
it and make the outer husks come
off easily. Through chickens, corn
gave us plenty of poultry and eggs.!
Through the cows, milk, butter,
whipped cream cottage cheese and
beef. Through hogs it meant meat
products and lard. And to the mule
it meant the power for pur
! farming. When drough took most
J of our corn crop, as it sometimes
S did, that brought stringent times
, until the next crop came in. Us
ually a neighbor who fared better
| would bring a load to help out.
j The Dutchman’s garden work
ed all the time. From it came ev
erything from sauce and seasonings
to staples in every season. I hated
working in there. The rows were
too short to plow good, and the
grass grew so fast and rank.

Watch Meat
Hog killing time has now become
a memory, until the frosts of winter
come again. “

keeping?
Better watch it now and try to
make it safe from bugs. They ruin
a lot of it each spring. Your coun

Extension Bulletin 77, “Pork for
Carolina Farms”, that covers this
point, along with others.

Which Hybrid . Corn This Year
Com planting time brings up
the subject of which ones to plant
in 1953.
Our fellows tell me that good hy
brid seed are going to be scarce this
year due to last year’s drought. Our
experiment station tells us which
sorts they have found best. For
the up-state they recommend Dixie
17 as a white corn and NC 27 as a
yellow hybrid. For the Coastal
Plain the yellow one is Dixie 18
and the white one, Coker’s 811.
Even belt er hybrids will soon be
ready. "One at these- is OOkei*9~911-.
No seed is available yet though.
It is evident that there will not
be enough seed of these to go
around. There are others that you
can substitute. Ask your county
agent which of them looks best in
your area. He likely tested out a
number last summer. 1

I like the silence of winter woods,
when the ice even chokes the usual
murmur of the creek. Seems as if
we don’t have much weather like
that any more. As a kid, on the
way to school, we could often walk
the branch and not get our feet wet.
Maybe milder winters have
some to do with greater insect
troubles now.
We live in a changing world.

Rural Progress
The Negro home demonstration
women of Newberry have 43 result
demonstrations in “Home Improve
ment” underway. And each of
their groups entertained their com
munity 4-H clubs with Christmas
parties.
In Cherokee county, demonstra
tions were given them by their
agent in canning and freezing I
meats. A total of 290 cattle were
slaughtered by different families
for home use following this.
home demonstration clubs gave dcT
nations to the TB drive.
In Anderson 20 homes have sign
ed up for their “Home Improve
ment” tour in May. These are
making improvements such as
bathrooms hot and cold water,
painting, screening, repairing, slip
covers, draperies, etc.

Water Holes
Riding with County Agent Bry
ant of Lee, I noticed an occasional
new-dug hole, usually at a low spot.
He told me they were water holes.
They have recently dug over 50 of
’em. Most of them are for water
for the stock that’s coming on many
of cotton’s lost acres. And some
are being used primarily as sources
of irrigation water, he said.
One of the latter was on the G.
H. McCutchen farm. He got a fine
stand of grass last year as far as
his irrigation reached. Beyond
there he didn’t get any. He ferti
lized his pond heavy, using com
plete fertilizer, and then some ex
tra nitrogen in the form of Cal-fti-
tro, ammonium nitrate, and cottor}
seed meal. Bream put in there last
June would surprise you now. They
grew like young com.

Boys Are That Way
The cellar, the smoke house, and
the corn crib, they were our forts
at home in the Dutch Fork. Yes
and the garden should be added to
that.
Many cherished memories center
around these things.
It was in the cellar that we kept
our varied array of canned things.
There they would not freeze in
winter, would stay cool in summer,
and the semi-darkness kept the
products from bleaching out. Pota
toes, both Irish and sweet, found a
dry bed in the straw that was re
newed fresh there each season. And
the milk was kept in crocks that sat
on the cool ground down there. At
times, when it was hot, I hid down
there in the cool to get oat of work
Sometimes* when it rained a lot,
water would seep in down there
and mess up the place for a while.
But that didn’t happen often. I
dreaded cleaning it out after the
water soaked up.
And in the smoke house is where
we stored the broom straw, meat,
lard and soap that we made our
selves about twice a year. The
kraut barrel saj in the corner and
onions and red peppers were
bunched and hung from the raf
ters. Empty fruit jars and all man
ner of bottles, jugs and bags kept in
there too. A shed went off from
one side of it. There is where the
wash bench stood and wood was
stored in the dry. Sometimes they
failed to empty that last “blueing”
water from the tub and it sat there
until the next week and caught
large black and blue flies.
Every nubbin of corn was care
fully gathered from the fields and
stored in the crib. That was the
most important stuff we had. We
ate it in three forms, grits, meal and
