) At / Thursday, July 16, 1953 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Pace Serea Horsheshoe Robinson's Home Stilf Stands Near Westminster i ■ ■■ Westminster.—Situated near here is the house of one of the American Revolution’s fabled characters. Horseshoe Robinson — blacksmith, homespun philosopher, soldier,* Robinson is remembered chiefly for his exploits at Musgrove’s Mill near Clinton, where, With the aid of the miller’s daughter, he rescued his commander from the clutches of the British after he himself had escaped. Horseshoe Falls at the site is named for him. Around his home before and after the war, Robinson was known for his homespun humor and common horse sense. He could spin a good yarn as easily as he could shoe a horse. Here is a bit of his philosophy: “There is some things in the world that’s good, and some that’s bad. But I have found that good and bad is so mixed up and jumbled together, that you don’t often get much of one without a little of the other. A sod- ger’s a sodger, no matter what side he is on; and they are the naturalest people in the world for fellow-fel- lowing. One day a man is up, and then the laugh’s on his side; next day he is down, and then the laugh’s against him.’’ With all the legend surrounding the famed sergeant, it is only natural that Horseshoe Robinson House near here is one of the most interesting historical spots in upper South Car olina. Boll Weevils Are Increasing, Clemson Reports Clemson, July 13.-hBoH weevil infestations are increasing rapidly in most cotton fields all over the state. Many growers are being lulled into a feeling of false se curity by the flower gmden of blooms in their fields. However, the Clemson Extension Cotton Committee points out that one can have a flower garden of blooms and still have a 70 per cent boll weevil infestation in their fields. This means that without contin ued application of insecticides a good cotton crop is unlikely on most farms. “Colton prospects in South Caro lina remain unusually promising provided cotton insects are con trolled,’’ the extension cotton com- mittee stated today. In all parts of the state, applications of in secticides should be made every four to five days until all bolls which are expected to mature are $ u j ts ^ re three weeks old. Farmers should J continue to use kk to 15 pounds rdVOred rOSnlOn of recommended insectcide dusts or the spray equivalent. Reports from forty counties for the week ending July 10 indicate an average boll weevil infestation of 12 per cent in treated fields as compared with 52 per cent in un- Nev^ York.—The suit assumes a soft and gentle look for fall This is the year of the fitted suit; even the box suit has taken on a tapered look about the jacket.

Stationery Department Farm Safety Connected With Land Use, Says Soil Conservationist The week of July 19-25 has been proclaimed as National Farm Saf ety Week by President Elsenhow er. When a farmer eliminates a gully or plants pines on land too steep for jnachinery he is eliminating ac cident hazards. We read all too frequently where a farm tractor or other machinery has turned over on some person. If w e u** n 13 ' chinery on land suitable for ma chinery we decrease the likelihood of accidents. By the same token we eliminate the likelihood of erosion by fitting our farming to the land. Walter S. Davis, president of the National Association of Soil Con servation districts, tells how soil conservation practices made farm- are many but all are characterized | they had outdistanced their heavy by a rounded hipline.

According to Mr. Davis a tractor on his farm ran over him. As he described it the soil was so mellow and soft from the gowing of legumes and cover crops he was saved fom se rious injury. The trend now is to mechaniza tion. Let’s hope we don’t go as far with machinery withoct instituting safety measures as we did with erosion before conservation was begun. In 1951, the last year for which estimates are available, 14,500 farm people lost their lives as a result of accidents. It has been estimat ed by those who study erosion that we are losing the topsoil from ,500,000 acres of land in America each year . At present standards of living about three acres of land are required per person to feed and clothe us. At any rate, our popu lation now numbers about 159,000,- 000 people. This means that the cropland in America amounts to about three acres per person. At this rate we are losing annually enough soil to support 166,666 peo ple. The tragedy of erosion may not be as dramatic as the mangled body of a person crushed beneath a machine, but its consequences in the long run are devastating.

You’ll find the suit that’s exactly right for you, with only a little hunting. Pick your color from black, the! rosy reds, the shades ranging from beige to brown.

HASH AND PORK FOR SALE Jake Johnson, Cook Chinese Puncture New U. N. Defense Line; Pour Men Through Seoul, Korea. — Chinese Com munist infantrymen poured south ward across the Kumsong and Pukhan rivers today after a new Red breakthrough on a 15-mile stretch of the central front. The enemy had committed up wards of 100,000 men to thfeir big gest offensive in two years. They had scored gains of up to three miles and then had punctured the line again after it apparently had been stabilized. Tight security precautions black ed out details of the offensive. But front dispatches disclosed its and the flood. Erosion could be considered an accident to the land resulting from man’s action, with man suffering j the consequences. It is not logical j to conclude that most acidents are* man made or at least could be avoided by man? When an accident occurs or top soil washes away the tragedy is to 1 people. In many cases the innocent | suffer as well as the guilty. Is it I not possible that we can condemn' future generations to a lower standard of living than we now en joy by abusing and wasting our in heritance of natural wealth? But on the other hand, there is also the possibility of improving the standard of living for our in creasing population by wise use and conservation of soil, trees, and ( other natural resources. We do not stop using machinery i or electricity because an accident may result from their use. But good judgment dictates that every reasonable precaution be taken to prevent accidents resulting from their use. The same is tue of land. The solution is not to quit using land because there is a possibility of erision, but rather put the land to its proper use according to its capability and treat it according to its needs to control the water that would cause erosion. By so doing the soil and water can both be used to better advantage for the benefit of people. Our nation is only as strong as the combined productive efforts of all our people. Manpower is the basic resource by which all other productive resources are made use ful and available. A man improp erly nourished and clothed is no more able to perform productive tasks than a man injured in an ac cident. Our. goal should be a strong peo ple who are properly clothed, fed and housed through wise use and conservation of our soil; and who are not injured, killed, or their strength reduced by accidents to them or to their land.
