Page Sixteen THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, December 8,1W5 Molasses Barbecued Meats Finpor-length spareribs. glazed and seasoned with a molasses barbecue sauce, make most winning hot appetizers for parties. Cut the familiar way, the barbecued spareribs will be a popular dish for the family. Canned baked beans, topped with frankfurters, are the better of taste with a savory molasses barbecue sauce stirred in before heating. Barbecued chicken, perennial favorite, can be baked or broiled with the same splendid molasses barbecue sauce. Delicate unsulphured molasses contrasts taste-wise with the nip of prepared mustard in an easy barbecue sauce which can be made bp in quantity without refrigeration. One basic recipe yields the season ing touch to a number of favorite family meats.

ELEAZER I’lemson College Information Specialist Irrigation On Cotton Clemson’s director of exten sion, George B. Nutt, reported on ‘ Irrigation of Cotton in the Rain 1 Belt” at the cotton mechaniza-j tion conference in Texas back in September He quoted figures from Ar kansas showing they irrigated well over 100,000 acres of cotton in 1954 And this year shows another big increase. Now, look at that state’s yield. Last year they averaged 380 pounds of lint. This year the es timate is 438 pounds, or practi cally a bale per acre on a Little over twice the acreage we plant. Riding across that state during the growing season. I heard ir rigation pumps humming by many a promising cotton field. Mr Nutt said Mississippi irri gated over 100,000 acres of crops last year, and more than that this year. South Carolina’s ir rigated acreage of crops in 1954 w-as 23,866, according to county veteran USDA extension engin eer, “irrigation is here to stay.” And Mr. Nutt concluded, “His tory indicates that once irriga tion becomes setablished in an area, it never disappears.” • • • Pruning and Transplanting Time Winter is the usual time for pruning and transplanting trees and shrubs. Although some prun ing is often done other seasons. Light prunings then often help in properly shaping shrubs and trees and enable you to do less heavy winter pruning. Those things that shed their leaves in the fall are best trans planted as soon after the first killing frost as possible. Even though their tops hre dormant during the following months ofi winter, their roots grow and they get set well in the new soil before spring. Later transplant ings lose this advantage. The evergreens transplant best in late spring, just before spring growth starts. They require bet ter attention after transplamng than the other group does. They should be watered as needed, and in some instances out in the open they will need some shading at first. The scuppernong is one thing that often bleed when cut. The folks here at Clemson tell me ibis can be greatly lessened by pruning this type grape as soon, after frost as possible and before Christmas at the latest. Our Roy Ferree tells me that light bleed ing doesn't seem to hurt these vines nor their crop the followr ing summer. Your county agent can advise vou about any special questions along these lines. t » • New Course At Clemson Industrial management is a new major course that was start ed at Clemson in September. Over 225 boys are taking it. About half of these are fresh men and the others are transfer students from other fields. This department is in charge of Dr Wallace Trevillian It is felt that Clemson is a logical place for a course like this be cause of the many excellent sup porting facilities and courses al ready existing in the Schools ot Arts and Sciences, Engineering. Textiles .and Agriculture. And the large number of students taking it the first year is proof of the need. The vast industrial growth taking place in the state opens opportunities for folks trained in business management. • • • Boys Are That Way “A mess of fresh.” Ever hear that? That’s what we called the batches of makins’ from a hog we took to neighbors at sunset the day we butchered. Neighborliness prevailed in the stone Hills of the Dutch Fork where I came up. Each family grew about three hogs. Two were medium size, and one was large for the lard. We usually killed one.of the smaller ones about Thanksgiving and the oth er just before Christmas for th£ company that always came. Then the big one would be salted down during a cold spell along in January. Butchering was always a big day, specially for us kids. For they let us stay home from school that day. We got up earlier than usual then. And the fires around the steaming pots cast an eerie glow down across the garden, through the orchard, and around the house in the dark and frosty pre dawn. A neighbor or two always came to help. It took just about all of those short days to com plete the job. Among the thifty Dutchmen, about everything about a hog was used, from the tongue, brains, chitterlings, to the heart and the tail. And we kids spoke in advance for the bladder, using it for the only balloon we knew. Sausage and liver pudding, seasoned as I’ve never tasted it elsewhere, were made. Scrapple (puddin’ mush, as we called it) was made with the rich broth left from cooking the livef, head, and trimmings for pudding. The fat was ground and cooked out for lard. During the day. we kidr. would get slivers of loin and cook ’em on a wire held over the glowing embers. All in all, it was a great day for us, though a rather dreaded one for those who had the work to do. Everything was finished about dusk. Then 4 or 5 pans of “fresh” were fixed for neighbors and we kids took it to them. Each con tained a “mess” each of the fol lowing: sausage, puddin’, spare ribs or backbone, and a batch of scrapple. Thus the day ended, and a group of farm families had things to grease the pan with for a while. They sort of rotated it, and about each week one would butcher. Jury Awards Man $126/786.80 At Greenville Greenville, Dec. 2.—A feder al jury today awarded James Earl Byrd $126,786.80 in his $233,946 damage suit against Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative, Inc. The sum was believed by court attaches and lawyers to be the largest ever awarded in a dam age suit in the upper part of the state. The plaintiff, a lineman, lost both arms as the result of an ac cident while working 6n the power lines of the defendant. Attorneys for Blue Ridge said they will enter a motion of judg ment in favor of the defendant notwithstanding the verdict and for a new trial. IT PAYS TO SHOP AT PitiNEY’S! Subscribe To THE CHROHICLF agent reports. At Clemson. he showed, nine years of irrigation on corn “have paid, and paid well, on eight of the nine years.” A survey of results from experiments in six Southeastern states over a period of years showed an average gain of 601 pounds of seed cotton per acre from irrigation. “The key to most proposed ir rigation projects is the availa bility of water,” according to Di rector Nutt. And that should by all means be determined first.! Then there are many other prob lems connected with it, like when to irrigate, weed control in irrigated cotton, soil character istics affecting rate of irrigation, adaption of cotton varieties for irrigation, fertilizer experiments with and without irrigation, de velopment of sources of water, field layout, improving equip ment, economics, and so on.
