MORE FARld PONDS!
One hundred more ponds in
Marion!
That’s what County Agent
King said the termers there had
signified for 1956. Added to these
will be the 350 they already had.
They have had as many as 13
draglines at work there at one
time. Mainly for irrigation, these
ponds also furnish stock water.
Most of them are simply large
holes in the ground at low places,
catch basins for run-off water
and seepage. They have been
able to do a lot of irrigating from
them. They are usually about
'60 by 200 to 300 feet, and 12 to
15 feet deep.
They are using a goodly portion
of their county allowance of farm
program money to help with this.
They get them dug for about 15c
a cubic yard, of which the farm
program pays 7c, or about half.
And, as I ride with the county
agents in all parts of the state, I
see similar activity. In many
communities you are seldom out
of sight of ponds.

Water is mighty important
stuff. Even stock water has been
at a premium on many farms in
recent years, and some have had
to haul it, as well as for house
hold use, too. These ponds are
helping take the strain off of
wells by supplying water for
stock and for watering plants at
resetting time .in addition to ir
rigation in many cases.
Some of the early ones were
built with sides almost perpen
dicular. But .now they are being
constructed with at least one
gnetly sloping side so anything
that falls in can get out. This
safety measure ip very important.

STRAWBERRIES ARE
WEEDED BY GEESE
Geese as hoe-hands!
I told you of seeing that exten
sively with cotton on the rich Ar
kansas bottom lands. There a
goose per acre is put there on the
bare land when the cotton is
planted. It is able to keep up
with such grass as normal culti
vation leaves.
In May ‘I saw geese used in
similar role on strawberries on
the farm of Austin Wright of
Tabor City. When we went there
the county agent told me he was
taking me to see not the biggest
but best berry grower in the area.
And he did have three acres of
wonderful berries of the Albrit
ton variety. They really like that
variety over in the berry area.
It is good in every way, and then
stands up better than most in
shipment.
He was still picking berries
when I was there. So he hadn’t
turned his geese in. They were in
the fenced area around his pond
that he irrigates from. In early
June, when the berries are over
he puts his 25 geese on the three
acres of berries. It takes more
geese than on cotton, for the
grass has gained so much head
way on berries before they can
be put on ’em. 1 He said his
geese do a fine job of keeping
his berries clean then all sum
mer.
Keeping grass and weeds from
taking strawberries all on out
through the summer is a big
item in their production. This
goose thing works fine there.

BADLY COOKED BARBECUE
ONE OF WORST THINGS
They called it barbecue. But it
missed it a mile. It was only sing
ed meat without savor or salt.
Thus a delightful product was
missed because someone didn’t
know his job.
Nothing varies more htan bar
becue. It’s hardly the same at
any two placs. At some it is
delightful, some fair, some poor,
and some hardly edible.
Seasoning is what most of ’em
miss-. And it needs more than
salt. I don’t know just what it
is. But that little tang from mus
tard, vinegar, butter, and the
like that goes into a real bar
becue sauce needs to be basted
on the meat and cooked in while
it is finishing over the hot-coals.
Then, to make sure, it is not
amiss to daub it with a little
more as you serve it.
A few fail on the actual cook
ing, too. And half-cooked bar-
•becue is a crime in any country.
No amount of seasoning can raise
it to the level of respectable
food. •'
But cooked done and seasoned
right, it is a delight for sure. And
Popular Summer Foods
During the summer months, because of the trend toward carefree
easy meals, certain foods find general use. Among those foods bought
by most homemakers are cold cuts and cheese, because they offer
such variety and are convenient to use. To stand at the cases in tbs
supermarket and look at the number of varieties of each of these
foods is a revelation. Displays are enticing and usually we buy mors
than we need.
During hot weather, when most home refrigerators are stocked
with both cheese and cold cuts, care must be given in storing these
foods to keep optimum quality. Special care must be given the cold
meats especially, as they are usually sliced and lose quality quickly
if not properly wrapped and stored.
For a wrap, the transparent plastic household film is ideal. It
molds itself around the cheese or meat, keeping air out and moist
goodness in. For the opened packages of sliced meat, make certain
that the slice* are placed one on top of another compactly before wrap-
with saran. Sliced cheese, too, should be handled the same way.
ner advantages of using this transparent plastic film for wrap
ping such foods as meat and cheese are: the odor of strong cheese and
garlic in some meats will not be absorbed by other mods in the
refrigerator; and due to the “see-through” quality of the wrap, there
will be no difficulty in finding the type of meat or cheese that you
want because each can be readily identified through the film.

1956; at ten o’clock A. M., for the

all of this is in the reach of any
one who tries to cook it. Ed Eth
eridge of Batesburg, is one of
the finest barbecue cooks I ever
ate after. And Sam Larkin of
Sumter is hard to beat.

COMMUNITY WORK IN
STATE PROGRESSING
Community development work
progresses in all parts of the
state. For several years special
money from the Progressive
Farmer for state prizes helped
boost it and special assistant
county agents were put on to
assist the communities in build
ing and carrying out their im
provement programs.
The state prizes of $300 and
$200 are still offered bv that
sponsor. * And, beginning this
year REA electric cooperatives
and one of the private power
companies are adding further
impetus to the work by provid
ing district prizes, too. There are
four of these in each extension
district amounting to $200, $150,
$100, and $50, respectively.
First prize in the state last
year was won by the Sweetwater
community _ of Edgefield. And
they greatly appreciated the
$300. But the greatest thing
they get out of it, according to
one of their moving spirits,* D.
T.. Mathis, was the satisfaction
from doing things with their
own means and spirit.
Truly, nothing is so constant as
change.
Most of us came up back when
communities centered at their
school. Since modern cdbsolida-
tions took place, many communi
ties don’t have this center now.
And outside distractions have af
fected just about all communities.
This rebirth of community inter
est promises to serve a great pur-
I pose in our rural areas of the
future. •
It’s funny to see folks trying to
act nice and stay awake, gaping
with their mouth shut.
I’m always uneasy when an
amateur sings. Am afraid he’ll
forget his lines or lose the tune.
Saw that happen one time. My,
how I suffered for him!
And I’m ‘ uneasy for the or
ganist, too, when she has to reach
up quickly and turn the music.
What if she missed?
