THE CLINTON CHRONICLE ,J« 17,1M4 — Dr. Herbert Spaugh Everyday Counselor '*1%^ Prom Bethel, Ohio, the following news story was reported in the press some days ago: “An 18-year-oki high school student, who had played the part of • 'gunman' in his senior class play last night, took the part in real life today and fired 15 shots at police officers. The youth, identified by police Paul Keller as James Donley, disappeared after being routed from a furniture store by tear gas but was captured several hours later on Main street. A posse of eight officers had searched for him for more than seven hours. "Shortly before the shooting, the youth had fin ished playing the part of a villian in a play colled ‘Books and Crooks’ in which he used a gun with blank cartridges. “Keller said he received a call from the boy about la m,. in which Donley said: ‘Come over to the fur niture store. I want to shoot it out with you.’ ‘The mystified officer went to the Deitz Fur niture Store and said Donley opened fire on him. Keller summoned help and officers finally drove the boy from the store by vising tear gas. Then he disappeared mysteriously. ‘ Keller said the wouth admitted having been drinking after the play but he had ‘blacked out’ and didn’t remember what had hap- pened.’’ Two psychological facts stand out in this story. The first is the power of the unconscious mind. This youth, in order to successfully enact the part in the play, had to memorize his lines and his act. Memorizng calls for constant repeittion. In this case he memorized the part of the villian and acted it in the play. It continued to be stored away in his unconscious mind. Then, according to his admission, he commenced to drink. It s a known fact that drinking releases moral and social inhibitions. Our newsp^>ers are filled with accounts of men and women who violate laws and accepted social prcdure when they dome under the influ ence of alcohol. Frequently, these crimes are of the worst nature. Alcohol has become Public Enemy No. 1. Yet many of us regard it as accepted social practice, simply because its use is legal. Its high time that we learn to recognize alcohol for what it is a deadly poison. In the second place, if a pattern of evil can be planted in the un conscious mind, a pattern of good can likewise be plantd. St. Paul gives the opposite pattern when he writes, "Finally, brethren, what soever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue,, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” •Hie power of the unconscious mind is tremendous—for good or evil. The crkninal becomes such by constantly thinking about crime Good citizenship and happiness come the same way * C. B. CANNON, County Agent Garretts To Store Grain For Higher Prices Furman Garrett and his two sons, Furman, Jr., and W. R. Gar rett, are prepared this year to store theis -grain -on- the farm and obtain a government support price which is considerably above cur rent prices being offered. The Garretts are busy these days harvesting a good crop of oats of approximately 365 acres of Coker's Victor grain variety, and storing in grain bins on the farm. They have already harvested their barley, Calhoun variety, of ap proximately 150 acres and seven acres of Manconee variety. From the seven acres of Marconee va riety, 425 bushels of barley har vested which was the rise of 60 bushels per acre average. In feed value, barley is equal pound lor pound to corn in feeding livestock. Within 10 days to two weeks, the Garretts will be harvesting per bushel for good, sound milling wheat, and 90 cents per bushel for good, dry barley. Under the government support price, farmers may secure a loan of $2.35 per bushel for No. 1 wheat; $2.34 for No. 2; and $2.32 for No. 3. Also $2.29 for No. 4 and $225 for No. 5 per busael of wheat. Oats support price is 93 cents per bushel. Barley support prices $127 per bushel for grade No. 2 or better, and for grain sor ghum, 1954 crop is $2.45 per 100 pounds grading No. 2 or better. Fanners should not store grain in bins when moisture is over 13 per cent. The ASC office (PMA) has a machine to chock moisture content in seed within a few min utes, and this service is free. About a quart of seed carried to the ASC office for moisture test is sufficient. D. E. Todd, Barksdale commun ity; Allen Mariar, Greenpond com munity; and William J. Mitchell, Hickory Tavern community, stored wheat and obtained government loan on their 1953 wheat. July First Closing Date Several fanners have asked about closing date in filing for seed certificate on cotton and the Five-acre cotton contest. July first is closing date and those wishing to have cotton, sor ghum and soybeans certified, or those wishing to join the five-acre cotton contest, should file appli cation before that date. Fanners who have filed applica tions for certification through the county agent's office are; J. W. Tinsley, Trinity Ridge commun ity, filed for wheat, barley, soy beans, and coastal bermuda. Farm ers who are signed for certifica tion of coastal bermuda are: E. B. Coggins, Laurens, Rt. 2; L. B. Stoddard, Jr., and Paul Owen*, Owings; James D. Wasson and Thomason Brothers, Laurens, Rt. 3; B. A. Goodwin, Laurens, Rt. 2; L. T. Yeargin, Gray Court, and L. P. Burns, MountviUe. Farmers Joining Five-Acre Cotton Contest The following is list of farmers who have joined the five-acre cot ton contest so far: Charles R. Workman, Kinards; Furman Gar rett, Sr, Furman Garrett, Jr, and W. R. Garrett, Mauotvffi* BL 1; A. T. Campbell and Ben Owinc, Gray Court, Rt. 1; D. E. Todd and M. C. Richardson, Laurens; and Ben Arnolds, Ware Shoals, Rt. 1. Anyone wishing to join the con test is requested to contact the counjy agent’s office before July lirst. Valuable cash prizes T6F county, district and state are of fered. One Acre Corn ConteM Chick H. Sheppard, Gray Court, Rt. 2, and Ben Arnold, Ware Shoals, Rt. 1, have entered the one-acre corn contest. District and state prizes are $100 to $600. July first also is closing date for corn contest. Colton Better Where Dusted Robert Cain and the Thomason brothers of the Trinity Ridge com munity haive good results from dusting cotton for thrip and hop per control. Mr. Cain has 39 acres planted to cotton and applied two applica tions of BHC dust at the rate of eight pounds per acre, applied one week apart. The Thomason brothers have 100 acres planted to cotton and dusted every acre. A check was made by the county agent on June 1 and found satisfactory' results from -the use of dust on both farms. As long as the buds and small leaves of cotton plants are rag ged, the thrip and other cotton insects are present. Application of one of the recommended organic dusts or sprays should be applied at once. Cotton continues to improve, as a whole, over the county from warmer weather and showers. Practically all thinning has teen completed. Corn Crop Laurens county has a good pros pect for corn crop. A few farmers have applied their top-dressing and layed-by. Corn requires very little culti vation and shonld be Layed-by ear ly so that roots-M the plants will not be damaged. Com roots are in the first three inches of the soil, three feet arae around the plant[ and improper plowing wrill do con siderable damage to plant growth. Corn is a heavy feeder on nitrogen and 200 to 400 pounds of nitrate of soda, or its equivalent, should be applied as top-dressing per acre. their 2*0 .cres of Atlas 50 variety of wheat. B. W. Brown, Bailey commun ity, was baling high quality oat stmv behind the Garrett’s self propelled combines last week for use in feeding and bedding for his dairy herd. Mr. Garrett and his two ***** are among the ’angest, if not the largest, small grain growers in Laurens county. They have this year approximately 762 acres planted to Barley, oats and wheat Wheat and oats will be stored on the farm in 10 metal storage bins and in building reconditioned for grain storage. The bins beir* erect ed as result of the program “On the farm storage of grain” spon sored this year by Clemson Ex tension service and for obtaining the maximum value of the grain through government support price.

Preventive medicine, real es tate men find, is just as import ant for the ills of the home as for those of the human body. Post poning immediate treament means more troiible later, and usually much more expense. Take advantage of fine late spring and early summer weath er to make such checks as these of your own home. Make a visual check of the condition of the roof and inspect the attic fof telltale leaks dur ing a ram storm. By keeping your roof m good condition you can prevent damage to plaster and other interior wall finishes. Check bathrom finishes. Re placing them with a material that will make them waterproof and save future redecorating. Practically unlimited, color com binations are available, as clay tile is now made in moVe than 200 shades. Have the heating plant check ed and cleaned. This is a good early summer job, as you may forget the details of its past per formance if you postpone the* reconditioning job until fail. Inspect all exterior paint. If you let it deteriorate too badly, the preparation and repainting job will be much more expene- ive. Check (he condition of the basement thoroughly. Moist, damp conditions there will cause damage eventually to other parts of your home, so correcting them is of paramount importance. Inspect your porch to see whether wooden floors are being damaged by moisture. A good idea is to replace old floor* with moistureproof tile, which will last the life of the home. Finally, always include a ety check as a part of any home inspection. Do basement stairs need rails? Are there accumu lations df rubbish to invite fire? Are flammable materials, oily rags and the like in a safe spot? 'Glasgow? So Kind ... So Hospitable/ Soy These Americans From the Evening Citizen, Glasgow, Scotland. You might call them the Americans who don’t want to go home: for Earle P. Barron and his wife have fallen in love with Glasgow. Oh, the weather has been its unkind self during their year here—“but,” says Mrs. Bar ron, “the Glasgow people have been so kind and hospitable we’ve hardly noticed it.” High praise horn some one used to the sunshine and friend ly folk of South Carolina. It is back there—to Columbia, the capital—that the Barrens are heading on July 1 at the end of Mr. Barron’s post-graduate course at Glasgow University under a Rotary fellowship. And this young minister, too, has praise to offer Glasgow. His words are for the university. “The standard there is very high indeed,” he Earle Barron can draw com parisons. He went home front the war in Korea to study and graduate BA. at Erskine Col lege, South Carolina, following up with a BJD. degree at Ersklhe Theological Seminary. This has led to a big day ahead of'him. Soon after reaching Co lumbia he is being inducted to his first charge, a Presbyterian church thtre. Before that job begins, how ever, the Barrens have one am bition to fulfill in Scotland.
