THE CLINTON CHRONICLE

Four dry summers in succession
have hunt (the leepedeza crops a
tat And last year the extreme
drought Just about ruined it for
hey, seed, and grazing.
But we have faith that all sum-
mens aren’t going to be dry. And
when we get even a Uttfle rain
along, this great crop is needed on
practically every farm.
Now ds the time to seed it on
the grain. A good time to do it is
when you tap-dress the grain, and
then run a spike-tooth harrow
lightly over it. That sort of ties
both the seed end the fertilizer to
the ground and kills a tat of tiny
weeds.
Irrigated Cera
County Agent Wood of Pickens
tells me Henry Bolding irrigated
8 acres of corn last summer and
averaged 147.34 bushels per acre.
He had plenty of water from a
creek that runs through his land.
Water’s the limiting factor. Find
out first if you have it, then you
can proceed. Many who thought
they had it found out it wasn't
half enoutfi last summer. Jfar It
really takes l-wntor to tfrigate.
Ponds of all sorts are betag built
over the state to store soms for
use when drought strikes. Storage
basins are being dug and weHj

put down in the ILowoountry.
Folks are really searching for
water. This was stimulated by see
ing results where irrigation was
used the past few veers.
la It Goodbye Syrnp
The Upcountfy used to have its
sorghum and the Lowcoumry Its
sugarcane.
The cooking of syrup from these
was a fall chore familiar to many
a farm.
But, in this changing world, this
has changed too.
I like sorgmun syrup and kept
an eye out for it last fall Saw the
remains at an old mill in the Up-
country where a little had been
made. Stopped to inquire. But it
had aill been sold.
1 rode a lot in the Lowoountry
too In fall. Didn’t see sugarcane
molasses being made at a skijke
spot. Even 10 years ago I’d have
seen a tat of it.
Farms are specializing more,
tell me it doesn’t pay to make
and stretching the labor out. Folks
kyrup any more. It’s a tat of trou
ble, and they say they can buy
what they need cheaper. And
that's the trend of the times.
But here is another angle. We
are mowing a lot of stuff we can’t
oat up, and the government is
having to buy a lot of it In a
world of atomic bombs, jt might
pay us not to get too commercial,
too far from the old idea of livkg-
at-home. (For we might have to
do that some day.
8«y Bean Seed
The fanners of Edgefield have
built up quite a little business in
growing Otootan soybeans for
seed. But County Agent Lloyd
tells me the crop was very short
last year. Many of them couldn’t
grow until very late rains came
and then the beans were immature
when frost came.
likewise County Agent Cain of
Calhoun tells me their yellow
beans grown for crushing and seed
purposes were drastically out.
Many were not worth harvesting,
and some were too immature to
use for seed.
So it looks like it will be well to
start looking around for seed soy
beans of the desired sort^ early.
This crop has been growing
enormously in quite recent years.
It has been a good mechanized
money crop following grain, and
that rich residue it leaves on the
toad is worth a lot, too. ~ ~ -
Recoup Feed Sepplj
Skimpy little piles of trashy
nubbins of com filled amell cor
ners in many a crib last fall that
was usually filled to the rafters
wiht fine ears. Likewise many a
loft was empty that was usually
stuffed with good hay for the
winter. And right now those puny
supplies are long gone. Our 1955
grain crop is peering in the
fields. It is usually the safest feed
crop we grow, safest from devas
tating drought- Winter rains us-

ually carry it through. With emp
ty barns, we sure do not need to
stint on fertilizing this grain crop.
For the yield is usually in pro
portion to the fertility.
Boys Are That Way
Boyhood’s memories are many.
Mine go back to the making of
syrup in the fall. We wore a little
too far up-state to grow sugar
cane. So it was sorghum for us. I
like ft. Still do, even better than
famed sugar-cane syrup.
We grew sorghum to cut and
feed the stock and for hay. But
the patch for syrup was of a big
ger-growing sort. We thinned it
out like cotton. And before the sap
ever got sweet, we kids were con
stantly samplndg it to see if it had.
We’d peel it and chew it, like sug
ar cane. ' •
When old sorghum got just right
it made mighty good chewing. And
you could often trail us through
the Stone Hills by .the cuds of pulp
we spat out.
Syrup making time!
That called for a tat of work.
We didn’t like the work. But some
features of syrup making appealed
to us. We didn’t kke stripping the
fodder off, nor the cutting and
loading of the cane. But we liked
to ride on it to the mill. And we
liked to feed the stalks into the
rollers a while. But soon the nov
elty of that wore off and we spent
most of our time just messing
around there, drinking the cold
cane sap as it came from the press,
and tasting the molasses, as it
rolled hot from the pan. Next
week a little more about this.
Retirement Plan
Passage Pressed
By General Assembly
Columbia — Swift passage of
bills to open federal social secur
ity benefits to state retirement
system members was sought today
in the General Assembly.
Three bins to cto mis passed the
Senate last Friday, and came to
the House. Three identical bills
went over from the House to the
Senate the same day.
Approximately 55,000 state,
county and city employes will be
affected if they approve the addi
tion in an election. State employes
include school teachers. State re
tirement system members also in
clude county and many city em
ployes.
Judiciery committees of House
and Senate introduced the bills
last week. Second readings were
given Thursday by unanimous con-1
sent, and third readings Friday.
Speed is sought to complete the*
90-day election notice in time fort
teachers to vote before schools are i
out.
Federal legislation made possi
ble the inclusion of state retire
ment system members in social se
curity. They heretofore have been
barred. The state must meet cer-
ain requirements, such as the elec
tion, and the companion bills are
designed to meet these require-

Spartanburg — The Ice Vogues
of 1955, which comes to Memorial
Auditorium here for a five-day,
six-performance engagement op
ening March 8, and extending
through the 12 ,is all new, more
lavishly costumed and moves
faster than any of the previous
seven annual ice reviews pro
duced by the Holiday On Ice
Shows, Inc.
This is the verdict which has
been heaped upon the 1955 show
by reviewers in each of the more
than a dozen cities in which per
formances have been given.
The Spartanburg performances
are again being sponsored by the
Civitan club and money' earned
will be used for one of its many
activities, particularly among
crippled children. The seating
arrangement for the auditorium
has been changed from previous
years to provide a total of almost
700 chair seats for each perform
ance. These will occupy the en
tire end section with risers af
fording each patron an unob
structed view of the huge floor of
ice on wnich the skaters perform.
The advance sale of tickets has
already started througn the Mem
orial Auditorium box office.
Tickets may be purchased by
mail.
Twenty-eight great acts are in
cluded on this year’s program. ’
These are well balnaced between
the highly colorful production
numbers, comedy, thrills and ac
robatics.
Outstanding production num
bers include the Cotton Ball, a
Southern sequence which is at
tracting wide attention; spectac
ular underseas wonderland in
which the colorful lighting gains
its maximum effect, and Spring
time in Japan.

The House Judiciary committee
arranged fin afternoon hearing, a
public one, on a bill to allow the
IntematiaoaJ Paper Co. to divert
Pee Dee river waters to its George
town pulp plant on the Black
river.
The Black did not furnish enough
water last summer, and water
from the Pee Dee was brought in
by barge. The company wants to
put in a ditch and pipe line to
bring water from the (Pee Dee,
enough for current uses and future
expansion.
The House Judiciary also has
scheduled a public hearing tomor
row afternoon at 3 p. m. on four
companion bills by Hep. Mayt^nk
of Grenevtlle.
Backers by the State Board ot
Health, the bills are designed o
give the board power it says it
now lacks to enforce laws govern-
fog drugs, including their sale tc
