4 Paf« Four THE CLINTON CHRONICLE FARMS... AND FOLKS By J. M. ELfiAZER Clem son College Information Specialist Follow!a* Grain The grain is yellowing at places. Very soon now the harvest will fee on. Our acreage to grain has doubled in recent years. That leaves a lot of land ready for a second crop in June. Each man is now faced with deciding what he will put there. Likewise, the pasture contest. In these you can’t- lose. You re growing those things anyway. A little special attention will make the acreage better. Then you have that, whether you win a prize or not. It takes more than a man’s land and his efforts ot win a prize. Weather, insects, diseases, In quite recent years, more and etc * ^ iave a 1°* 10 with it. So more of our gram-stumble land| there is no telhri 8 where ev€r y- has found its way to soybeans. They have been a pretty good money crop, and fine soil builder and conditioner for the next crop. Another useiul crop whose acreage is growing on stubble land is grain sorghum. It lends itself to mechanized handling, has about the same feed value as corn, stands drought much better, makes there where corn won’t, and will usually make more than corn. So, as a supplement to corn, grain, and other feeds, grain sorg hum is a promising new crop at many places. Birds sometimes bother isolated patches of it right bad. But in communities where there are whole fields of it, the birds seldom make a dent in it. Sudan grass and pearl millet go good for grazing there on the stubble, land too. On a lot of the grain, leapedeza was seeded in February. And where stands were secured, that great crop takes care of that land now. Two crops from the same land: That’s an advantage most oif the country can’t claim. And it’s a very real one here too Omi tests Our state cotton contest has done a lot for cotton. And the newer state corn contest is begin ning to do the same for this crop. FINE FURNITURE Down Through the Years T. E. Jones & Sons The Best for Over Fifty Years CLINTON, S.C.

Your county agent is still en rolling folks in those contests. But he won’t be much lowger, ac cording to our specialists in charge of that work Wild Docks and Things There are 5 times as many duck stamps sold now as 17 years ago. And over 15 million general hunt ing licences were sold in this country last year. With all of that, what chance has a duck? Or I might say any wild thing that flies, runs, or swims, for 17 million fishing li cences were sold too. And almost that many fish where no licence is required. Now I’m not against hunting and fishing. They are the original vocations. Then they grew into outdoor sports. And this lure is in herent in practically every man. But what I want to bring out is that some rules are needed if this wildlife is not to be blotted out. It has been greatly decimated in our time. Many wild things once plentiful have now become a rarity. The older countries of the world are Hying proof that game and fish can' remain, even though populations do thicken. But some rules are needed to give ’em a chance. And those rules are our game laws. State and federal authorities and organized sportsmen over the state are making an intelligent ef fort to help our wildlife come back, so there may be good hunt ing and tishmg again. v Game wardens are being trained for their jobs, and they merit the re spect, sympathy, and cooperation of every person. They are not to inhabit the hunter and the fisher man, but to help him build some- thing better, The farm is the unit for game and tish. They need to bp a part | of the planned farm operation. Protection until it can build back is needed. Restocking is necessary at suitable places from which the last specimens have gone. Clem- son is doing some erf that on its vast Issaqueena Preserve. Wild turkeys and deer have been put there. And ducks and geese are coming in increasing numbers since the place has been protect- eel Now a trained naturalist and forestry expert has been put in charge, M. H. Bruner, former ex tension forester. At other places over the state federal, state, an dprivate opera tors are similarly handling their denqded Lands Boys Are That Way We set the ‘following Sunday afternoon to explore the fascinat ing wilderness we had seen across the creek, from the tree- tops, where we had taken refuge from the bad bull down in Cousin Jake’s forbidden pasture where we hadn’t roamed before. We were brought up to observe Sunday strictly, and a trip of that sort would have been frowned upon tor two reasons, the danger anl the desecration of the Sabbath But we kept our plans to our- j selves. And right after dinner we kids, white and colored, met down the hill below our orchard. It was soon after noon, so we had a long early summer afternoon ahead. We worked our way through the beautiful May woods to the old rail fence back in there that had marked our limit before. As luck would have it, we didn’t see the cattle, including the bad bull, grazing in the opening. They al ready had their fill and were rest ing in some shady spot, chewing their cuds. So we quickly worked our way across the big opening and hit the jungle of the creek- bank. It was deep sluggish water there, which was rare for our Stone Hills. And we had to hunt for a crossing None was found along in there. But a recent storm had toppled a great oak that fell across the channel, making a sort of footlog. The only trouble with that was that a big limb came out from it right over the channel, poking straight up, thus barring easy passage. But we skinned around that and were soon in that realm of enchantment over on the other side. Our hearts beat with half-fright and anticipation, as we followed our leader, Ben, into that Unknown. We broke twigs and dropped them, as we walked away from the creek, so we could find our way back. We very soon found ourselves in about the most deUghtful place we had ever located. But this piece is getting long enough, and we’ll take up here next week.

Readjustment Possible Without Depression-Baruch New York. — Bernard M. Ba ruch expressed confidence Tues day that America can readjust itself economically without pre cipitating another depression. Under no condition, he declar ed, is there any reason for going through ’what happened in 1929 ” The famous “elder statesman” and adviser to presidents warn ed, however, that “we will have to pay some price of adjustment for the inflationary neglect of the past.” How heavy that price may be, he asserted, will depend mainly on two things: 1. “On our success in subordi nating to the higher national in terest this battle for selfish ad vantage now raging among the various segments of our econo my’’ and— — —— 2. “Upon our skill in adjusting to the changed conditions of sup ply and demand all over the world.” Baruch spoke before the School of Business and Public Administration of City College of New York It was the second of three weekly lectures he had agreed to deliver. "The post-war- sellers market is gone," Baruch told his audi ence. “New competitive condi tions confront us everywhere. "The adjustments to these new conditions cannot be made by the government. They must be made by individuate-^by each of us in our businesses, on our jobs, on our farms. "We must cut costs, work Harder, sell harder. “If we lose one market, we must find another. If what we produce has been outstripped technologically by some new de velopment, we must find new uses for our product or . shift to what is in demand. “The sooner these adjustments are made the better. "At the same time we cannot— and need not—let these adjust ments go too far. Adjust, yes. Bust, no.” Baruch reminded his audience he has long maintained that in our complex, urbanized society a “floor” had to be kept under our economy at all times. Bpt, he added, that is “quite different from contending, as some do today, that there should be no downward adjustment from sky-high ceilings.” The real' choice before us, he asserted, is: “Shall we ease these adjustments by working in har mony or shall we make things worse by fighting them?” No Finer at Any Price!
