served to put it on many acres.
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 \ '

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.

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.
