The February Progressive Farm er said: "The happiest man we know this month is Jim Eleazer, Apostle of Irrigation. For now they’ve found irrigation not only makes bigger crops and better crops, but cuts the nicotine content in to bacco!” They were right. It did make me happy. For I’m firmly con vinced that irrigation is our greatest undeveloped potential for economically increasing crop yields. Apply it, we must. Cau tiously at first, as we learn from experiment and experience. And apply it widespread, eventually we will, as far as impounded end ruhnir^ water will permit Yes, I was sure glad to see to bacco get that good break. For maybe it is the nicotine that has linked it with throat and lung cancer of late. And if irrigation, along with breeding, can help get that out of it, surely it will be an other feather in the already well- bedecked cap of irrigation here in the rainfall belt. TTie Progressive Fanner sug gests two other ways of decreas- ' ing the nicotine in tobacco. First is to select a variety of known low nicotine Content. And then fertilize properly, being careful not to apply too much nitrogen, which tends to make a high nico tine leaf. And this farm paper warns farmers that leaf of higi | nicotine content might be discrim inated against on the markets this I fall. Russell Hunt, leading Kentucky tobacco expert, has this to say: "Every grower interested in producing a crop this year, and hoping to continue growing to bacco year after year, must real ize the seriousness of the situa- <iofi.” And he points out that the breeders have varieties low in nicotine, and these are the ones the growers need to plant. So it looks like irrigation, va rieties of low nicotine content, and proper , fertilization (no excess nitrogen) might become embattled tobacco’s creed. to the others. Zeke was my colored buddy and I remember walking so close behind him that I stump ed my toe om his heel several times, as I looked around, making sure no bull was coming in on us from the sides. If there had not been danger expected ahead. Id have likely been ahead of him. We at last came out of the woods to the clearing near the creek. There the good grass grew and the cattle were likely to be. But it was mid-afternoon, hot, and they were likely resting in the shade somewhere or standing in the cool water of the creek. We didnt see a thing, as we worked our way from one clump of fine blackberry vines to the other. The going became very exciting out there in the middle, with no climbing trees near. But soon we got to be creek-bank and were out of the clear and into the jungle of growth that abounded there More next week. est treasure as kids in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork. We had roamed our range well, plumb back about two milifc in the woods to where Cousin Jake Summer’s pasture „ started near the creek. were firmly told never to venture in that pasture, as a bad bull was reputed to roam that domain. And we had heard him bellowing! When we were small, we heed- j ed that. But as the older of our crowd of about 10 white and col ored boys got to the cussing age, we looked for new worlds to con quer. So we framed up one day to explore that fascinating region beyond the fence back there. I was among the smallA onto but we all tagged along.

THOMAS JEWELER "If* Time IBM Oeaata" CLINTON — JOANNA The Garden New Lf you buy the stuff for a veg etable dinner it will sure cost you now. Guess you have already found that out. You know, it’s not the farmer's fault either. He could give his stufif away and it wouldn’t come so much cheaper to you. For it is the transportation, refrigeration, processing, preparing, packaging, and distribution that cost so muen by the time it reaches your retail store. Yes, all of these costs are rath er fixed, or are getting higher And there is not much you or I can do about them, except one thii^j.'We can grow some of our needs. It's garden planting time now. A small plot made highly fertile and planted to a few staples your family likes best can be made to mean a lot. Keqp it clean of weeds and grass, water it when needed, and remove and replant as soon as a row begins to'* fail. In this way you can grow a lot of fine vegetables on a very small area.

County Agent Cain of Calhoun says about 35,000 acres of ’em will be seeded follow ing their grain in that county. And other agents tell me of in creases, too. Down in Hampton they have a soybean-growing contest. County Agent Thompson tells me the win ner last year was R. C. Deloach and his 4-H son, Bobby, with an official yield of 36 bushels of soys per acre. Second prize went to Van Peeples with 35.5 bushels, and third to A. W. Bush, who made 34 bushels per acre. Harper and Bowers, the sponsors, have announced they will sponsor the contest again. The contest idea has sure prov en helpful in promoting better methods with crops. We have state and county cotton, com, and pasture contests. And Darlington has a county tobacco contest. These develop information of great practical value.
