Here’s a case up in Chesterfield] County Agent Willis told me about: , "Harold Jackson, with 55 acres of Coastal Bermuda grass on the Pee Dee river, started grazing in May of the past year. He grazed 120 head—50 cows and 40 calves, plus yearling heifers and steers— when it goi ahead of the cattle, until-frost. Back in the summer, he also cut 20 tons of hay and lOu tons of silage fron^ it. This field was fertilized witfi 40(| pounds OT ammonium nitrate 1 - per acre in April and 100 pounds in Septem ber.” • • • ^ BOYS ARE THAT WAY In a young boy’s eyes, a man is about the greatest thing there i&. And men know this, for eacn of them was once a boy. Looks like that would make 'em a little careful about the ext- amples they set. Specially so ih the case ofldaddie,s. Tobacco chewing was common among men when I was growing up. I fhought IT looked big to chew it and spit red. I tried all sorts of bark to get the effect. Even tasted tobacco once. But it- burned like a coal of fire and 1 didn’t try again. And fortun ately the delusion faded before I mastered it. I remember watching the men, as they cam^ frofn the field, wash th’eir hands there on the back porch. My, how they could dirty up that water! I wanted to do that, too. But mine wouldn't ink up like theirs would. I remem ber wetting mineond going.out irGthe back yard and fixing ’em up in ashes and soot at the wash pbf. '’Then I could do like' a man end really dirty that water up. And smoking, too, I tried that, j First it was cross vine, and then rabbit tobacco from <^own in the pasture wrapped" . in newspaper into large cigarettes. Later I tried a pipe with real tobaccp for two days, puffing it hard. That blis tered my tongue and I quit. And ny final fliAg was with cigar ettes on a cold day when we were hauling a wagon load of turkeys to Columbia for Christmas. R was 20 miles down there, and it took just about all day each way, roads were so bad. We stopped at Irmo on the way down and got some cigarettes. We ' kept the smoke aflyin’ for that 10 miles. My tongue "jwas almost blistered that time, too. But the • worst part of it was I couldn’t taste a thing I ate. And my cousin in town had some mighty fine town rations for us while we were there. But, alas, they meant noth ing to me. Everything tasted alike, or. rather failed to saste much pt alfl' Forj my powers of taste had been smothered out for the time being with acrid smok£. And that just about ended my tiyingdo act like a man. And •soon I w?s one. ' ,i A \ ' r" 'Te: ‘Cotton FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. Eleazer Cletnson College Information Specialist DROUGHT AGAIN Drought took a heavy toll ot crops in South Carolina in four ol the past five' years. The year 1955 was the one during which | we had fairly even showers and fcood resulting yields. Listen to what just a few oi the county agents had to say the 2past fall: ‘ Hopkins of Anderspn: The cot ton crop was off a lot due to dry v. eather." Butler of Greenville: “Yields -nf-a-romatretgbatrerwrre tow due to dry growing season.” /" Lloyd of Edgefield: "Irrigated cotton far superior to other.” Bonnette of McCormick: •’Cot- tun,'corn, and hay very short due ty dry weather.’’ Jones of Greene ;• o were low a/a result or \ery dry wbather.** Ezell,of Newberry: "Some cat-* tie wci/e sold due to feed short- ege and drought also cut . cotton - ; wTHdx'TiTqctr betow last yoar:** 1 Martin of Spartanburg ' Drought cut our cotton crop a I iot and also the fail truck, both j in yield and quality.” Cannon of Lancaster:' "Coast- I at Bermuda 0 grass stood the dry i summer better than any other forage crop.” And so the story goes in just about all parts of .the state. The agents note that even cotton the crop we once thought-to be rath er drought-resistant, suffered se- i verely. Increases of about a bale l per acre weep noted where I saw cotton irrigated at experiment .stations and over the .state the past summer. A dependable source of water is the first consideration when we think of irrigation. County agents, SCS'tnen. and ag teach ers tell me many farmers are trying to work that out-this win ter. * * * V TESTING SQIL Clemson tests many thousands of soil samples sent in from farms over the state each year. What County Agent”" Mason, of Berk eley-, says is typical: ^ Requests for asssitance in taking soil sam ples are frequent. Farmers are morV interested in knowing the fertilizer needs’ of their soils. They can apply the right kinds and amounts of fertilizer.” To serve their purpose, the samples sent for testing must be taken right and labeled properly. Coun ty agents, ag teachers, and SCS men can show you the practical details of this. * * * SAFETY There is a slogan, “Safety is everybodys job.” But it makes it a little more personal, it stems to me, to think of it as MY job and YOUR job. ’ , Do you love your family, your home, your friends, your life? If so, think, look, and listen before you turn into that high way. Also before you drive the tractor up a steep bank, before you conclude a gun.isn’t loaded, or before you flirt with a turn ing shaft. — Surely we all need to develop sound safety rules, attitudes, and practices in this mechanized age. * * * , r coastal Bermuda We can’t get away from Coast al Bermuda grass anywhere we go in South Carolina. Hugh Woodle’s enthusiasm and its per formance where tried have sure Bring a Friend To Church With You , Did you think a sou/ was invisible? Did you even suspect tnat it was a theological concept that only nu.n)St*x*.oiuld.undersund?— ’ Well, look Into this boy's eyes! Do you see happi ness ... the certainty that lite is full of beauty and truths? Do you see hope .. . . the assurance that every tomorrow will be better than every today? Do you see courage . . . the fortitude that will look through defeat to victory? Do you see faith . . . the confidence that God hears, and knows, and cares, and helps? • t - you're too-king into a soul! You’re seeing the spark of Himself which God has put into every or.e of us. And ytju re seeing it still unblemished by the cares and disappointments of life.. ^ You'can see a soul througlvyour own child's eyes. But unless you g,ve that soul a chance to grow up .with the’.body and mind that possesses it . . . soon you'-U no longer see it in your child's eyes . . . and perhaps., someday, you’ll no longer see it rn-his life. The Church, through careful religious education, develops that spiritual inner-being which we call the soul. Your child deserves the advantage of the Church's instruction. And, in church worship, you will rediscover the beauty and strength of your own soul. the CHURCH FOR ALL . . -ALL FOR THE CHURCi • •' o"n‘ C /--,V" h i'* lh * s,r ® c,,8 a< lac SpsS .urviv. aCy Th n «. a C ‘ Vll ‘r a ' 0n ca ' reasons why * v „r' * ° Ur ,our '= a»t 4 nd ssrvicss ft?, P*’* 00 5h °ulc Port the.
