Plus Thirteen Other Stores in South Carolina "Biggest Practical Thing" ‘‘Supplemental irrigation is the biggest single practical thing now known and available to us for im proving crop yields in the Rain fall Belt.” That was Bill Camp of South Carolina and California speaking.' He made his fortune with it in the West. He knows what it can be made to mean to us. And he and his boys endowed Clemson for the sensible and sane promotion of it here. They send me anywhere I want to go to see and study irri gation in all of its forms so that I might be in better position to size it up, write and talk about it here. Clemson has considerable ex perimental work in irrigation un derway at the College and at sev eral of its experiment stations. The Camp Fund furnished the Ex tension Service a truck and port able irrigation outfit with which to put on crop irrigation demon strations over the state; it sent our engineers on trips to see and learn practical irrigation and a group of our county agents up East to see it under extreme drought condi tions a few years ago. And the makers of irrigation equipment have also contributed certain piec es of equipment, too, for demon stration purposes. So, all in all, we are digging in on the practical details of getting this great undeveloped potential of irrigation started over South Caro lina. Results already secured tend but to increase our enthusiasm for the promise it holds. Water storage is now the great problem. Plent of it falls here. But so much of it is gone when you need it. To hold some of it for fu ture use, many ponds are being built. And to that end, every ra vine is a potential pond. Dry land or otherwise, they likely serve their great purpose. For during normal times, we have periods of heavy rainfall that will replenish them. And with the water they store, we will reach out and bring new crop riches as far as it will reach. And so will we use the, run ning stream and the large reser voir. A veritable revolution is al ready started in water storage. Supplementary irrigation the new, yield factor that is invading | the Rainfall Belt. • • • , Healing The Roadoide With Sod While riding with County Agent Hopkins of Anderson I saw a lot of good farming, fine farming. Those men of the rolling Ted hills are sure making their lands bloom. < Even though we were in a hurry, we passed one farm where I had to ask him to slow up. There were beautifully contoured fields, with winding rows that sagged and swayed gracefully with the con tour. There were no raw seams left in that picture. A strip about 20<Teet wide that came clear to the black macadam road has been flawlessly prepared in the fall and; seeded to grass. It had been clip ped for hay and looked like a lawn. And on it his machinery turned around, without leaving a track. Rows of crop jutted right up"to it, without irregularity and skips you usually see at the end of the rows. That was Manley McClure’s farm. And the remodeled home was just as neat. Hopkins told me j that Mrs. McClure is the same sort bt housekeeper that Manley is a farmer. you have it? Pity more of us don’t. | Pride in what you are doing! Do And I’ll guarantee you this, he is not just spending money prettying up his farm. Hopkins implied to me that when the harvest was in. Mr. McClure’s bank account usual ly looked just as good as his farm and home did. * * * Boys Arc That Way Occasionally I see children whose clothes have never been dirty. It seems to me they are to be pit ied. It’s not their fault, you can bet, that they are brought up that way. Well-meaning parents just carry it too far. The little things become clothes conscious. And they are cramped at play. It us-, ually makes them a bit sissy in the eyes of the other kids and, they have a tendency to grow up and be a bit sissy, specially the boys. Now I’m not defending dirt. But with usual caution, kids are going to get dirty at play. Once a boy moved to our com munity who was afflicted with cleanliness. His parents had drum med it into him so, he was never quite natural. Was alwflys afraid he’d get his hands or hris clothes soiled, and stood back when we skated in the sloppy mud or slid down the clay bank on the seat of our pants. Kids are cruel and heartless things. And, to be sure, we made that poor boy’s life a bit more mis erable than it must have already been. He is the one we pulled the hidden egg trick on, breaking it under his cap, and it streamed down from his curls into his white Buster Brown suit And he want ed to help grease the buggy. We let him put the grease on one axle, but saw to it that some good black used grease from the tap was smeared over the grease paddle handle just before he took it. When he saw his hand, he cried. We laughed with glee. We told him to rub it in the red clay there in the yard, as we did. But he couldn’t bear the thought of that. And he ran on home to his horri fied mother. Another time we told him we could wipe some of that black grease off the step and he couldn’t keep us from getting to it, even though we’d let him have our open knives, one in each hand. He said, we couldn’t. So we put a blob of that grease there on the top step. We sat him down, with legs spread on each side of the grease. His was the privilege of guarding that grease with the two knife blades. We made like we were trying to get at it a little. Then one of us caught him by his feet and neatly pulled his seat across it, wiping the step practically clean, but messing up the seat of his pants something awful. Thunder of Tanks, Trucks, Give Hint Of Soviet Purge Washington, July til.—U. S. offi cials believe Red Army tanks and soldiers took part in the arrest of Lavrenty P. Beria Russia’s second most powerful man and its secret po lice chief. Piecing bits of evidence together, diplomats think Beria was seized around 5 p. m. Saturday^ June 27, with the guns of tanks and rifles of soldiers arrayed for his destruction if he resisted. In fact it was the thunder of tanks and truckloads of troops along Mos cow’s Sadovaya Boulevard about two miles from the Kremlin in the gen eral neighborhood of Beria’s hone, which first gave the tipoff to West ern diplomats that something big was up. Aside from the drama of the af fair, the time of June 27 is import ant. If that in fact was the day of the arrest, it gives a date for checking actions of the Russian gov ernment to determine whether pol icy changes may flow from Beria’s ouster. The Big Three Western for eign mirfisters, meeting here, have tentatively agreed that Premier Georgi Malenkov may abandon the new, friendly look of Soviet policy and go back to a tougher line now that (Beria is out of the way. But like almost everything else about Russia this is speculation. Dip. lomatic informants said today that what has happened since June 27 of fers as much evidence that the Rus sians are going on with their ‘‘peace offensive” instead of changing. The incident of the tanks coupled with Beria’s failure to appear at an opera performance in the Bolsho Theatre that night that led U. S. Ambassador Charles E. Bohlen and other Western diplomats to warn their governments that Beria might be a purge victim. What happened in so far as the facts may now be reconstructed is this: . About 5 p. m., Moscow Kime, on June 27, tanks and truckloads of soldiers roared into the capital of the Red empire and along the wide Sadovoya (Boulevard in the direction of the Kremlin. The United States Embassy office building has windows opening on this boulevard. The military force was observed to be traveling in the direction of the Kremlin, headquarters o< top Soviet leaders of whom Beria was then of ficially one. It did not necessarily go to the Kremlin, however, for Beria’s house is in this region of the city and it may have been the military objective. “DIE FOR ALL YOU ARE WORTH” Hugh L.
