r « * / A Thursday, January 17, 1957 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE t/' Pa?e Nine FARMS... AND FOLKS i By J. M. ELEAZER Glemson College Information Specialist County Agerit Linder, of Lee, says a review'of their 1956 5-acre cotton demonstration records shows an increased cost of pro duction. And that was likely true 1 with all crops. Costs have been upward for some years, while prices have tended downward for farm products generally. This sure puts a squeeze on the farmer and calls for his best ef forts at efficient production. That calls for proper preparation of the land to facilitate getting good stands from the best quality seed obtainable. It calls for liberal fertilization, as that has advanced less than other elements of cost going into a crop. It also calls for insect and disease control, ana careful harvesting and market ing. - - ; We are hopeful the farm pro gram will mean more to farmers in this area than it did'the past year. It tame too late for muc participation here, while th Corn Belt was able to participa heavily. MEAT TYPE HOGS Growers of all breeds of hogs are workring toward types that carry more lean and less fat. That is in conformity with the need that has developed along through the years. Vegetable fats are taking the place of a lot of lard. So we do not need so much lard, but we do need the good lean meat. . This new type hog was in evi dence at our fairs last fall. All breeds are working toward it. At ahe Orangeburg fair they had a sale of L^ndraee hogs. That’s the lean ham and bacon type hog the Dutch have developed and built a reputation for. It and Yorkshire -are being used considerably in htis country in crosses to get bet ter butcher hogs. County Agent Grainger, of Clarendon, tells me six of their farmer sattended that sale and bought Landarce breed ing stock. * + * PLANTING PINES A total of 67 4-H club members in Abbeville county are each set ting out 1,000 pine seedlings this winter, according to County Agent Bull. And Tuten, of Edge-, field, tells me 24 of his 4-H’ers are doing likew ise. .The West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company furnished 750,000 pine seedlings for this purpose and they were taken promptly by the 4-H’ers. Thus 750 of them are starting small forests of their own this winter. As fast as pines grow here, these youngsters will likely live’ to make the- complete harvest from these plantings, it 5 to 10 years. And after that wHl will begin with pulpwood in 15 to 20 years. Then poles in another start the systematic harvest of saw timber as needed. Our for- ^stery Bill Barker, t&ls me ttiese 4-H pines are being jllTantedTm'^S Dutch Fork was in a covered wagon in 1902. I’ve been-telling you about it here for the past three weeks. It left us in a state of mental turmoil and confusion. We were not ready for the inno vations it brought. Up to then the old folks could explain to our satisfaction the things we saw and heard in our rugged hills and valleys. But this show had brought things we did not under- stand hor could the old folks quite explain. That slight of hand, for in stance, how did that man get a large white rabbit out of Cousin George’s black wool hat? Ana he pulled a silver dollar out ot Cousin Mel’s ear! He borrowed a clean white handkerchief from Mr. Jesse, burned a hole in It right before our eyes, put it in his magic tube, and it came out w hole and unbumed! All of these things puzzled us. And the ex- | planations of one of the older folks just had to be taken, in the absence of any other explanation ot what w^e had seen with our very eyes. That fellow was just I a “conjure man,” he said. The talking machine! WeTl, weI s had the remedy for that. In woman under that table with her the semi-darkness, there was a head in that contraption, and the music come from a music-box in there, like we had seen before. Now we came to local reactions to the most wonderful thing of all that we had seen That w'as the We could dig up EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Dr. Herbert Spaagh moving picture! . . neither fact nor fancy as to how counties this winter.^ that fellow scared the daylights A similar nufnber oT.rreejs were | out of us with a f u ii-fi e dgeid train furnished the FFA boys, and l running right into our faces there understand they were enthusi- from a sheet hung on the astically received, too, and: are being similarly set in small ests of 1,000 trees each. Learning by doing, that’s the I 4-H and FFA way with farm, youth. This practical work with ^ pines, together with the other | forestry training they get, is mak ing real tree farmers tor the fu ture. And that’s in tune with our natural land adaption, as these are tree lands primarily. We cut trees from them when crops were first put there BOYS ARE THAT WAY "After we kids had discussed it to and from school, families had talked about it at the dinner ta ble, and it had been discussed foi days down at the blacksmith shop, no one had a suitable ex- plariation for the phenomenan w’e had seen. At last sAmeone asked the respected sage of the com munity. And he put on end to our smaller speculations when he answered, “I’ll be tarnation if i know how that contraption worked.’’ And that left us in a That first show to come to ourt fog for sun Mom, Dad/ Help Your Child... plus 5 PRIZES 51 25 Trips to DISNEYLAND 25 Trips to BEACH FOR YOUR CHILD...

It sounds silly, but it is true. One doesn’t have to go to school very long in the college of experience to learn some thmgsr Unfortunately too many of us seem to forget fhem. One of these is the law of cause and ef fect. You can’t beat it. We reap what we so\y. We violate some law of God or man, and appar ently get away with it. Nothing happens immediately. But the seed has been planted in the con science. Give it time. The crop will be forthcoming. We may even plant some more Then Weeks, months perhaps years later we have a crop on our hands. The alcoholic is a good “guinea pig” in the test laboratory. Us ually he is running away from the reality of his situation Some times he made it himself and sometimes not. He learns how- easy it is to retreat into a bottle. But he never finds a retreat from his conscience. Some time he ha(s to come out of that bottle. When he. does his conscience really de scends upon him. That explains the period of remorse and agony which most alcoholics suffer in that period^when they are trying to “come off” a bender or spree. Of course, they feel bad physi cally, but they feel a thousand- times worse mentally and spiri tually. But you don’t have to be an al coholic to suffer frpm a bad con science, and to be a victim of the law of cause and 'effect. All you have to do is to violate your con science, and the results will fol low in due course. A man may violate one or more of the Ten Commandments with impunity. Apparently his conscience is dead on the subject. How many people carelessly take the name of Qod in profanity. All that is salted away in the conscience One dav it will come up. The same is true with other laws of G^d which.we violate. Man is a social thing, created to live with his fellow. He is created with a conscience to keep him in balance The rea son we have so many unhappy people today is because we have so many violated consciences. FINAL SETTLEMENT Take notice that on the 12th day of February, 1-957, we will render a final account of our ^cts , and doings as Administrators the estate of Mary Frances Eliza beth Boyce' in the oITlcve of the Judge of Probate of Laurens County, at 10 o’clock a. m, and on the same day will apply for a fin al discharge from our trust as Administrator’s. Any person indebted to said estate is notified and rqeuired to make payment on or before that date, and alt persons having claims- against said estate will present* them on or before said date, duly proven, or be forever barred. M. A Cannon, w J. E. Boyce, * Administrators ' January 7, 1957 „ • 4c-J-31 By like token the law of cause and effect works in the opposite direction. The first treatment for a violated Conscience is to go out and if possible correct the wrong done. If you can’t correct that, then compensate for it by doing something kind and helpful to offset that harmful and selfisn deed done in the past In the Alcoholics Anonymous the twelfth step is that of carry ing helpful ministry to other al- become happy, coholics. So it is if you would be There it is- -that one law that happy in this life You must share you .can’t beat. Try it one way with others The happy Christian and there is misery and unhappi : i- he who shares his Christian ness * Try if the other way ana experience with others They, too. there is peace and happiness 666 ...
