It was a • Better Farm Living Tour.” Over 300 folks joined County Agent Bowen and those who made the rounds to their four families who re ceived Clemson’s “Better Farm Liv- *ng” awards for the year. Those were the families of W. T. Atkin son, J. M. Edens, John Pate and Ed Gulledge. On each of these farms they saw improved farm and home practices on every side. I was coun^ ty agent there a long time and know those folks intimately. They are masters of the art of bearing down on the land and- making it fruit with '’he satisfaction of good living. And all of them have built what they nave. They dug it out of the ground. Their children were or are pYomi- nent in 4-H club work and they in j anything for their community bet- erment.

Boys Are That Way The first woman tether we had at oiir old one-room school away back in the Stone Hills was when I was about 8 and had been in school ’ 2 years. I thought she was the pret-! tiest and nicest thing I had ever 1 seen. Her gentle nature was dif-j ferent to' the stern, rod-wielding men we had before that it stood out like pleasant sunshine. ' She boarded near our house, so | walked our path home. I was a bit: bashful, but used to walk along near; her a lot. She was friendly, and! would talk and laugh with us. Shei was the first teacher the older stu dents cocld remember that they were not afraid of. And she had no problems of discipline, for we liked her. One day, late in the school year, I was walking with her, and the other kids had fallen behind. Her slipper string became untied. Hav ing an arm full of books and papers she put her foot on a rock and asked me to tie it (or her! Now, folks,' I've had my normal 1 BEEF, DAIRY Cattle and HOGS need it!

Friends} 1 thought them reckless to let, a coun- j i try kid go to the city alone. I would j , often take my bicycle along in the baggage car so I could ride on the few blocks of paved street that Co lumbia had. And, man, that was a thrill, after coming from rough I and rocky hills of the Fork. I had a regular routine. I’d get : me the best hamburger I ever ate; after I got there and had climb ed up Gervais street hill to Main street. The stand was in a vacant lot there beyond where the Wade I Hampton hotel now stands. It cost a nickel. Then I did my shopping and dropped by Nick Xepappa’s fruit stand, up Main street there and got a vanilla milkshak^for an other nickel. Those two 1 nickels took the dime they gave me for my dinner. By mid-afternoon I was through and the train did not leave until 5 ■ there at the foot of Gervais street I near the river. After riding my bike all I wanted to on those few- paved blocks, I would drift down on As sembly street for an hour or so for entertainment.
