Clinton, S. C.
Beaufort, had this to say in his
August report:
“Plans are being made for new
wells for additional irrigation.
Seven irrigation systems were
used during the past month to
try to obtain germination for
truck crop seeds. Four new
ponds are being dug as reser

Thai CharlMton Gray Melon
I ate some of those Charleston
Gray melons grown in Ches
terfield. They were simply the
best I’ve ever eaten. I’ve been
telling you about this great new
melon for several years now.
County Agent Jake Willis up
there has been working closely
with Mr. Andrus, who originated
it down at the USDA laboratory
near Charleston. Jake tested it
cut on Chesterfield farms for
him And, 1 believe Abrams in
Barnwell and Thompson in
Hampton did likewise.
In his August report, Jake has
this to say:
“The Charleston Gray (51-27)
watermelon has been in big de
mand at the Pageland market
this year. Buyers who had hand
led it before were willing to pay
a premium for it. The 20 pro
ducers who were furnished seed
on a small trial basis this year
were well pleased with the yield,
anthracnose and wilt resistant,
and freedom from hollow heart
and gourd neck. Other varieties
of melons sunburned consider
ably this summer while tlw?
Charleston Gray did not.”
Seed, in limited supply, of this
great melon, will be on sale for
the first time the coming year.
Watch out for 'em. We melon
lovers have a treat coming.

Saving Money
A 4-H club boy saved his dad
$10 an acre on his cotton crop the
past season. It was this way, ac
cording to the dad. The boy
learned at a practical field meet
ing of his club just how to make
a boll weevil infestation count.
He came home and took that job
over on his dad’s farm. The sea
son was so hot and dry, the in
festation never got high enough
to justify poisoning. So their
proposed poisoning cost of about
$10 per acre was saved. Other
wise, the dad said, he’d have
gone on and poisoned as before.
For all too few farmers ever take
the trouble to make accurate in
festation counts as a guide to
their weevil poisoning opera
tions. And the result is often un
necessary expense and wasted
poison.
We know this, when weevils
threaten, poison properly ap
plied will pay. If they are not
threatening, it can’t pay. And if
it is not done right, it can’t pay
either, not pay the hiost. So let’s
resolve to do it right or not at all.
Clemson gets out the detailed
guide each season. Your county
agent will have it.
Boys Are That Way
It was well out in the summer
Our fruit was about over. And
the wild fall plenty had not come
to our wooldands yet, back when
we were kids in the Dutch Fork.
Zeke, my colored playmate,
had passed an old abandoned
place back in the hills a few days
before. He saw something red
like a cluster of apples on an old
snag of a tree down in the aban
doned orchard. But he was
alone, and scared to investigate.
He told me about it, as we
threw rocks at the last few mul
berries that still tempted us from
the far points of the limbs that
we could not reach. This old
gnarled tree grew out beyond
our well close to the lot gate.
All that afternoon, rich red,
juicy app’es were on my mind.
The more I thought of ’em, the
more overpowering it became. I
had an old piece of a bicycle that
we both liked to ride. A new
tire had just come for it from
Sears-Roebuck. We put it on,
and lit out for that promised
land. We took turns on the ped
als, for it was hilly, rocky, and
hard going.
As we neared the place, we
saw dust rising down the road.
So we hid in the bushes until the
wagon passed. We left the bi
cycle there and worked^ our way
around to the back of* the old
abandoned houseplace. We did
not know who owned it and
thought investigating those ap
ples would be a crime that we
didn’t want to get caught at. But
we had to have ’em.
Soon the clearing showed and
we entered the tall broom grass,
walking behind bushes as much
as possible. The old apple snag
that Zeke had seen before came
into view. Our mouths watered
for the brick-red we saw in its
top But we kept an eye down
there on the road. Being that
near our goal, we didn’t want
anything to happen then.
We got plumb up under that
tree, and saw encouraging signs
on the ground. For surely where
there are apples there is usually
some on the ground. Zeke climb
ed up and mode the devastating
and bewildering discovery that
what we had seen was not red,
ripe apples at all. It was the
blooms of an old cowitch vine
that grew up its trunk!
We were never whipped out
any worse than that.
a waste of time, energy and
money. Second, we cannot under
money. Second, we cannot under
our charter restrain patients, and
he would refuse to remain. Hus
is a sad situation which you de
scribe, but quite a common one.
Nobody can help the alcoholic
until circumstances combine to
force him to the conclusion that
he is an alcoholic and must do
something about his drinking.
Q. Is it true that only an al
coholic can help another alcoho
lic? I would like to do something
to help, but have been told that
an alcoholic will not listen to
anyone but another alcoholic.
—R. C. D.
A. While it is true that an al
coholic can often help smother
when others fail, because he
speaks the language, and has had
similar experiences, it is not
true that a non-alcoholic cannot
help. I myself have never even
tasted a beer in my life, but
have worked with alcoholics for
28 years. I personally know to
day. several hundred who say
that I have helped them. My be
lief is that if the alcoholic wants
help, he can be helped by any
one who has love and sympathy
end patience, with a sincere de
sire to help.
Q. I am 68 years old and
once drank very heavily about
15 years ago. I have been ad
vised to take a hot toddy at
night to help me rest. On the
other hand I have been told that
once an alcoholic always an al
coholic, and that if I start with
the hot toddy I may become an
alcoholic again. Please advise
me.
A. My advice is—do not take
the hot toddy. One of our pat
ients who is now about your
age had gone ten years without
a drink, had become superinten
dent of his Sunday School, was
a leader in church affairs, and
on the same sort of advice start
ed taking a hot toddy at night
He soon was drinking straight
whiskey and after three months
of continual drunkenness was
placed in a hospital and sobered
up, after which he came to us.
My conviction is that anyone
who once crosses into uncontrol
led drinking will never again as
long as he lives be- able to take
one drop of alcohol with safety.
One drink of beer, wine, whis
key or even patent medicine with
alcohol in it can star thim drink
ing again, in ‘ the same old pat
tern. Total and permanent ab
stinence is the only course for
the alcoholic. See your physi
cian and ask him for a drug to
help you which is not habit
forming. There are plenty of
medical aids which he can pre
scribe which have no alcohol and
are non habit forming.

ADLUH CORN DOGS
Whether you plan a picnic, a luncheon, or a quick wiener supper for friends, Com Dogs
will win praise for a common food differently prepared.
Long before the original Independence Day in 1776, America's native Indians and early
settlers used com meal to add flavor to their meat Well liked by young and old, the frank
furter becomes something entirely different when zestful com meal provides a crunchy cov
ering to make a Corn Dog out of an ordinary wiener.
They are easily made, for the com dog covering is a simple mixture of com meal, flour,
egg and sweet milk, into which the wiener is dipped and then fried in deep fat, for home
serving, or roasted over a picnic fire. Chunked or sliced tomatoes provide excellent taste
appeasers to accompany the Com Dogs.
For a picnic, prepare the com meal batter at home and carry ft In tightly covered quart
Jar. Skewer the wiener on a freshly cut stick or roasting fork, cover it with the corn meal
mixture and pop the com covered wiener over an open fire that has settled into a hot bed
of coals. Rotate continuously until the corn covering w crust, and you’ll have a perfect
Com Dog.
2/3 cup Adluh self-rising com meal
1 cup Adluh self-rising flour
2 tablespoons sugar, if desired
2 tablespoons fat
1 egg, beaten slightly
\ cup sweet milk
1 lb. wieners
TO plain com meal and flour are used, add teaspoons baking powder and 1 tea
spoon salt to dry Ingredients.)
Combine first three Ingredients. Cut In fat to resemble fine crumbs. Combine egg and
milk; add to first mixture, and stir until mixed. For cooking over an open fire, skewer the
wiener on a freshly cut stick or roasting fork; spread wiener with com meal mixture and
roast over hot bed of coals, turning continuously until com covering is done. For deep fa!
frying at home, insert wooden skewers into wieners; spread wieners with com meal mix
ture and fry until brown in deep fat, which has been heated to 325 degrees F. Serve wMH
dices or chunks of tomatoes.

Alcoholism Today
By Maxie C. Collins. Director,
Fairview Alcoholic Rehabilita
tion Center, Ridgeway, S. C.
Q. My brother has been
drinking since he was eighteen j
years old. He is now forty-two.
He worries his mother as well as
all of us. He is a lovable quiet
person when sober, but awful
when drunk. He will not co
operate. He will not join AA and
will not help us to help him in
any way.
I read some of your literature
and you state that you take
only vountary patients. That he
will never do. I am wondering
if you could not let us take him
there while he is drunk, or get
a doctor to give him something
to knock him out and take him
there. When he comes to himself
he would probably find himself
among friendly people and others
who have the same problem and
would stay and get well. Please
let me know. —W. J. C.
A. As much as I regret hav
ing to say no, we could not take
your brother under these circum
stances. First of all, it would be
