I H' Vajre Two THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, October 22, 1953 ; FARMS AND FOLKS # By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist Soil Treatment Very small forms of life called nematodes live in the soil. Often l^eir numbers build up to the point they do a lot of crop damage. The most evident of these is the iamiliar ropt-knof nematode that we have all observed on plant roots. ' Specially in old gardens have we noted them, making it all but im possible to grow things like toma- H es and okra any more. But science has found out that there are other sorts of this pest that do not cause those large swell ing on the roots of affected plants. It is this sort that does great dam age without being detected by the asual eye. The crop jufet gets un- thritty and does not make much, rounds are often seriously hurt, and *vt charge it to something else. Tobacco is one field crop this pest has been sapping for a long time. Science has developed a practical -oil treatment that tobacco grow’ers are using in a big way with good And, now, folks ; that’s a mighty high percentage of satisfied users, when something new is being tried. Your county agent can give you full particulars for treating your land, not only for tobacco, but for other affected money crops. At Clemson Dr. Garrison got very marked benefits from it with to matoes, okra and fall cantaloupes, j We live and learn. Science is constantly bringing up new reme-[ dies. We apply them. And the harvests are heavier. * * ♦ All But The Squeal You’ve heard about the effic-l iency of our modern meat packing plants, where they use everything but the squeal of the hog. Modern lumbering is working to- 1 wards similar efficiency. The other day I stopped by the Ingram Lumber Mill near Conway.) There they beat the bark off the logs and use it and the sawdust for fuel. The slabs and trimmings are It felt good and soon I felt at ease. Then I got a bathing suit and joined the others. What a day I had! Al though my complexion is dark and I don’t sunburn easily, I did burn a bit on the shoulders and they felt strangely hot on the way back home that night. We stayed until the last car and ferry left to catch our train. It was full moon and the sun set early be hind low clouds in the west. The moon came up, laying its glittering road of fire across the sea/ That was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. And I remember sitting on that side of the street car, as we were leaving that enchanted spot, so I could get one final longing look at that spectacle of a clear ful^ moon coming up out of t^ie sea. And to this day I don’t know of a scene on earth to beat that. TORTOISE SHELL To, keep real tortoise shell gleam ing, never touch with water.

It’s good to see our folks working towards a fuller utilization of our. woodland wealth. For surely, mil lions of feet of good wood have rot ted in slab and sawdust piles in every county of the state in years past. And. they still rot at most places, as bad as the world needs the products of that wood.

More over, he actually spends hours looking for a special kind of trouble—electrical leaks that might interrupt service on telephone lines. Developed by Bell System engineers, this robot-like line insulation test machine oper ates automatically to spot line troubles before they happen. He tests line after line at the rate of three thousand an hour. Whenever a tiny electrical leak is spotted, “Gizmo” stops, flashes a signal and indicates the telephone number affected. Then repairs are quickly made, usually before service is interrupted. “Gizmo” is another one of many advances along the road toward more and better tele phone service. To bring these new advances, and to keep service good and growing, your Telephone Company must have enough earnings to stay financially healthy. W. G.
