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-

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. Newest of 1 weapons,
the variations is the suit that’s'

BARBECUE
i In one of the many sleek fabrics
the black suit takes on a newly
ing safer for him. 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.

touch of mink at collar or cuffs.
Shiny trim, in harmony with fab
ric, finds expression in jet or braid
or satin binding. Velvet makes
another sleek touch.
The tapered box suit and the
short jacket suit have prettier tops.
A short jacket often appears in the
company of a peg-top skirt.
In picking you suit this year,
remember that there’s a fitted -suit
for each need and figure type.
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. Try a sleek fabric
or tweed flecked with color, a col
orful flannel or one of the herring
bones.

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.
