P»*e Four FARMS... AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemsoiv roIle)fe Information Specialist Like* Sericea More and more farmers are liking sericea. I see that as I go about.. One calls it ‘‘the poor maii’s alfalfa.'* And, "handled right, it does make good hay.” It is very drought resistant. •- Here’s what Clemson’s Agron omy Handbook says aboyt it:’ "Sericea is seeded broadcast in March or April at the rate of 25 pounds of scarified seed per acre oif a firm seedbed. Apply 500 pounds of 3-12-12 fertilizer per acre when seeding alone. When seeded on small grain, use 600 pounds of 4-12-12 per acre or 800 pounds of 3-9-9 under small grain. Topdress with 500 pounds of 0-12-12, per acre annually, or use 1,000 pounds of basic slag and 100 pounds of muriate of potash per acre.” A lot of blunders were made with the crop tyfore folks began t Tenrirnng Tiuu, tu IT1 though it will grow better than most things without fertiliza tion, it takes proper fertilization to.nVake it grow best and for ani mals to like it. It makes good hay and grazing when tender. But it is very poor for either pur pose when it gets tough And it grows fast and gets tough quick, unless you keep it down with cattle or the mower. As to details of proper man agement of sericea, ask your TOP-DRESS SMALL GRAIN NOW) The bigger, freer-flowing, square crystals of new Arcadian Nitrate of Soda make it easier than ever to supply the nitrogen your grain needs now. This quick acting nitrate makes grain grow fast! * Get more early grazing by top-dressing with 100 to 300 pounds per acre of ARCADIAN Nitrate of Soda. It makes small grain shoot up fast and stool out thick to provide lots of early green forage rich in nutrients. This 16% nitrate nitrogen makes grain come back fast after grazing to grow more stalks and heads heavy with grain. Get more groin, too, with'ARCADIAN Nitrate. The fast growth gives you an earlier maturing, bigger harvest of top-quality grain. Order ARCADIAN American Ni trate of Soda now and spread it promptly. Look for Uncle H111 It 11 L.

Growth When it comes to growth, I know of no major farm product that has grown like broilers. In the past i£T years therr produc tion i’i this country has grown from 34 million to 886 million! Yet that’s only about five and a half broilers apiece for us to eat. And who couldn’t eat a lot more than five in a year? So folks are figuring that broilers can still stand expanding. On top of that, our population is growing. by about 6,<M)Q a dav. And at our present rate of eating broilers, that will call for 12 mil lion additional ones. But all of these calculations have to assume that employment will hold, so folks can buy ’em. For a good many years now, a broiler has been about the cheapest and one of the best and most generally liked of meats. All in all, it looks like another giant has grown in our midst that will stay. Hail the broiler! Clemson has free ublletins and pamphlets on raising broilers that you are welcome to at your county agent’s office. And the feed and poultry processors of fer a lot of guidance, too. • • • Mechanized Cotton Carol LaneV bf Chesterfield, said he saw some years ago that he had to mechanize his cotton or quit with it When County Agent Jake Willis and I visited -him 4ast -ftrU, his mechanical picker was busy in the field and doing a good job. Most of his cotton was perfectly clean. Said he did.it with pre-emerge chemi cal treatment and flame cultiva tion- Said he “was tickled to death with it so far." There were still a few kinks to iron out, but he now believed he could fully mechanise his cotton pro duction. The pre-emerge used right | after planting cost $4 per acre for the material. It keeps the ( treated land free of weeds and grass. But he was a little slow I in working the middles of part of it, and grass got,a start there. He plowed his cotton only twice, using the flame after that. He said the flame worked fine, even 1 in bad nutgrass. * * * Know-How The practical know-how for handling any sort of farm enter prise is hard to get. That is if you didn’t just get it naturally as you came up. Then you get it in easy stages from those w’ho know r . With grassland farming and cattle we don’t ha^e much of that inherent know-how yet But we are getting it from experi ment and experience! In the cattle country there is an old saying, “The eye of the master fattens the cattle.” Our eyes don’t quite carry that pow er yet. They have it for cotton, for instance. We have been long with that great crop. And ime will bring it for cattle, too.

The pa tient, age 42. had suffered headaches over a long period of time, but this one had been constant for 18 days and nights, with no relief, in spite of DR. C. J. HART FimUng the eewe ef X-rays ef the petteafs by melting the many injections he had received. He had consulted two head specialists w r ho changed glasses three times, but he had to take them off to see. The patient and his wife said that a brain operation had been suggested but they feared that this would result in death. A friend of theirs had such an operation; was never mentally right again, and finally passed away. X-ray pictures revealed a bone out of place in th c.neck. When it was adjusted^back to its normal position, the patient began to experi ence relief from the painful headache. In a few days he was completely free of all pain and dis- _ comfort after suffering nearly three weeks night and day. Complete recovery followed.

I like to think it was a natural thing of that sort when I recall that hammer The blacksmih got a new one. I had never seen one like it. It was a special horse-shoeing hammer, with a ball top on it in stead of claws, like we'were used to I would pick it up and play with it when he wasn't using it. And my palm literally got to itching for it. Not to just play -with it, but for my very own! As time went on, I couldn’t get that hammer off my mind, and I wanted it more and more. One Sunday, Zeke, my colored j playmate, and I were playing ■ 1 down that way. And, of course, that hammer was on my mind. Everysn« had gone to church,; and 1 felt a burning desire for it ; The rough door of the shop was ! about six inches off the ground. I tried to get under it. But- I was too chubby to get under. I pushed Zeke under to get the hammer for me. We went down in the pasture and played w’ith it a long time. Dusk was descending and it was time to go home. I hadn’t thought until then how tell-tale the hammer would be. I could never explain it. So I threw it away in a briar patch there be low our house, where some | youhg pines had grown up. Why I didn't throw it back un-1 der the shop door, I don’t know. Maybe it was that I coveted it so I didn’t wany anyone else to have it. I can’t remember about that now. After I was grown I told that good man about it and he laughed harder than I had ever heard him before. We later sold our place to my uncle. I passed tTiere the other day and he had cut those pines for saw- logs And I wondered if that rusting hammer was not still re posing beneath the carpet of straw and litter there among the pine stumps .
