ELEAZER Clemson College Information Specialist -r-— Cotton Spearheaded by the State Ag ricultural Committee, South Carolina is making a special ef fort to produce a good cotton crop this year. Early in the year the county agents arranged a meeting in every cottqn county at which the men from Clemson told of and should everything from soil treatment to insect con trol that had a bearing on effi cient production of cotton. They really shot the works with all that experiment add experience have taught. And these meetings were generally well attended, as many as 300 to 400 growers turning out at places. There are many things that go into efficient cotton production. And most of them are seasonal. Right now we face the matter of a stand. And the experts tell us that nothing is more important. You never hear of high yields of cotton from poor stands. Sometimes we don’t get a stand. It is cold or dry or the seed are bad or something and it just doesn’t come up. But very often too we get a full stand and then take too much of it out in the thinking and later hoe ing processes. Clemson says we need three stalks to the hill, every 8 to 12 4-H clubs, ETA groups. Boy Scouts, and the like. And I have no fault to find with'them. They are better than we were, and bet ter fitted for production life in a fast-growing state that leads with children. A lot of our means is invested in every one. They now enrich our state by more of ’em staying here. ' * Spring Spring, with birds ,a-twitter in every tree! I like it. Of all the seasons, it seems best to be living now. There is grpwth and vitality all about, in the very air. The miracle of growth unwinds at every turn. The urge of life is strong. Their casings can’t hold bud, root, nor bulb now. They all break forth with leaf, stem, flower, and fruit. And the larder can get low, for it will be filled from the promise we now see. Turkey Meal On June ?the South Carolina Turkey Federation is holding its second quarterly meeting at Newberry. Our turkey growers are doing themselves and their industry a lot of good through their efficient working organi zation. They meet quarterly, and hear specialists from Clemson, those from elsewhere, and those broadening the distance between us and the bull. But when we got to the old rail fence we were pretty well winded We sat on that, rested a bit, and defied the bull before taking off up through the rugged woodland that had been our boundary before. Up the flowered path through the woods by the spring we made our barefoot way. And we plan ned as we went. For that invit ing land beyond the creek was much in our minds. And we could not rest well until we had croased it and explored the fas cinating possibilities beyond. But that was for another day, and is for the next chapter here.

Some very thick. Many farmers do no, other farm groups might profit thinning at all. They use drop planters and leave all that comes up. And under their rather ideal situation, about every seed does. Wa Lika 'Em South Carolina has more chil dren in proportion to grown peo ple than any other state. So our problem ■ of education is bigger. For on top of that, our wealth is low.

Boys Are That Way Approaching dusk made us un easy in our treetops on the creek bank, safe there from the bad bull that grazed in the clearing through which our path home passed^ But come down we must.
