grow its millions of seedlings there
in the Wedgefield nursery. They
are available to landowners at
j small cost. And the West Virginia
i Paper company has bought a mil
lion of ’em to distribute through
their woodyards located at An

Sharon and Walterboro. Those in

The usual way of packing water-
melon$ in a car has been length
wise, tail to tip. Even with care
ful packing 1 that way, the railways
have suffered enormous claim loss
es oh melons each year.
So the marketing boys got to
work on the problem. Trial cars
were loaded in various ways. One
of the ways tried was the cross
wise loading. This kept the hard
stem ends from bruising the soft
bloom ends of the melons during
the starts and stops inherent in the
normal haul to market. In a re
cent study the usual lengthwise
loading showed five times the dam
age in Congo melons that the cross
load showed.
Two years ago an Occident hap
pened to help start all of this new
way of loading melons, I am told.
A farmer had just hurriedly un
loaded some trucks of melons in a
car until his special loading men
could get to it and arrange tl\eni.
A freight pulled this car out by
mistake and it went to market. To
their utter surprise, it showed far
less damage than where the mel
ons were carefully stacked length
wise.
Live and learn! Boys, don’t take
anything as final.
The fellow who thinks the way
he is now doing a job is final had
better take another look. For to
morrow he will likely wake up and
find there is a better way. And,
my, how that does apply to agricul
ture now!!

Camp Daniels Day
With state and local help the col

named Camp Daniels, after the
late Harry Daniels, leader of Ne

Back in June they staged a spec

camping season. Over 5,000 folks
from 30 counties were there. Local
4-H club leaders were honored on
this occasion for 5-, 10- and 25-year
services to their local clubs. Ten

Trees A Crop
It was over 25 years ago that the
Clemson Extension Service brought
the first resident forester to South
Carolina. His name was Henry
Tryon. Very few folks thought
anything of trees then, except to

A spring was half a mile back in
the woods. We’d stop ofen and go
there for water, rather than to the
house, a few hundred yards away.
And down there in a rich sag in the
field, where the cotton grew rank
enough to hide us, we would sit in
the middles and make animals out
of maypops and straws. Then un-

104 West Main Street
Laurens, S. C.
On long trips, short trips, all trips, you get far greater gas
mileage out off a ’53 Chevrolet. It offers important savings
in everyday driving over everyday roads! <
Out to tfie golf course. Off for a week-end of fishing. Half across the country on a
full-scale vacation. IV/itrever yotT'pi-^ftf^i'ver you drive—you’re going to get there
on a lot less gasoline uVa fine new Chevrolet.
The truth is, this year’s Chevrolet owners are enjoying the most important gain in
economy in Chevrolet history. Plus more power. Faster acceleration. More “steam”
for the steep hills.
That’s the beauty of Chevrolet’s two great high-compression engines-the new
115-h.p. “Blue-Flame” engine in Powergltde* models, and the advanced 108-h.p.
“Thrift-King” engine in gearshift models. They squeeze much more out of regular
gasoline-more miles, more pleasure.
Along with this greater gas mileage, you get lower over-all upkeep costs. And
Chevrolet is the lowest-priced line in its field. Drop in and let us show you how
you’ll be better off in every way with a 1953 Chevrolet!
