Thursday, April 11, 1957 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE I Paste Nina m t frrrrrcrrrr i FARMS... AND FOLKS ^ By J. M. ELEAZER Oiemson College Information Specialist i most glamorous and exciting I thing that happened. We were half afraid of the man. Thought he might carry children away. He drove good horses. Most of our folks had only mules. He had caddies of plug tobacco and twists of smoking tobacco that | folks chpped off with their knives as they filled their pipes. To us, he was a man from the outer world. I dpn’t remember if it was North Carolina, Tennes see, or Kentucky that he came from. Those names meant noth ing to us tjien. His wagon was better than any around home, it had brakes on it that you pulled with a lever, and the harness had brass buckles on ’em. How we admired that outfit! I thought his name was Brown as he sold Brown Mule chewing tobacco. But one fall he came and sold a lot of Grainger tobacco, and that confused me. I thought surely his name must be Grain ger, and that stuck with me untilj the next fall. Then I stood) around the wagon there with the men. I was getting bigger and was not scared then, fo my sur prise, I then learned that his name was neither Brown nor Grainger, but Goolsby. , ^ He was a kindly felkny that I would talk with then, lie often camped overnight near our home. I liked to go there and hear him talk of the mountains, bear hunt ing and the distant place he had come from. It wasn’t long though then until he stopped coming. Drummers had gotten on the road and I gneiss his business dried up. They would come to the station, hire a hack, and cover the coun tryside pretty well. GRAIN STORAGE The subject of grain storage is constantly coming up of late. Reason for that is our growing diversification with grain and livestock. For most types of live stock, like dairying, poultry, tur keys, and hogs, cadi for some grain all the time. And that, in turn, calls for safe storage. Hampton county has been do ing a lot in this respect for some years. As I’ve visited with Coun ty Agent Thompson, I’ve seen the million and a quarter bushel ele vators at Estill, and also many concrete based steel storage structures on the farms. The past year. Thompson tells me, 10 addi tional fanners put in 88,500 bush els of such storage, with fans at tached for aeration of the grain. Before that they had 160,000 bushels of such farm storage, making a total of 249,000 bushels at the first of th e year. Those storing their grain and selling it orderly averaged 35c a bushel more in 1956, he says: This is half the cost of the concrete and steel structures ±hat amount to about 70c per buOTel capacity: On most' years local ‘ grain prices are lower at harvest time than any other. And if, for‘lack of storage space or need for mon ey, you have to sell then, that lower price is what you get. But if safely stored you can hold it for the better prices that usually follow, and also borrow needed money on it if you like. * * • YOUTH LEADS ' Greenville county 4-H Dairy Club members showed their cat tle at six shows last fall, accord ing to County Agent, Jones. And ' learned rich. Plant just enough of the things you like. Fight insects in time. Mulch, and then water as needed. Don't allow a weed or stalk of grass ih it. And just a little spot of land, thus handled, it saves lots on your 1957 budget. Clemson has many helps on gar dening you can get free from your county or home agent. And our best okra, cucumbers, and cantaloupe were bred by Clem son. I , * » * DO YOU PLAN TO GO TO COLLEGE Young, folks, do you plan to go to college? If so, you had better get that English and math. That’s what most of ’em fall down on. Most youngsters, boys specially I un derstand, have more trouble with these- two basic subjects than with their specialty in college. And the pity of it is, they are supposed to get that in high school, before they come to col lege. Then to be cluttered up with it when they enter college is bad. For a college course is hard enough in itself; and it is made doubly so if you have these two important subjects hanging over you. So, bovs and girls, ‘GET THAT M A T H AND ENGLISH THERE IN HIGH SCHOOL! Then college will come much eas ier. « * • BOYS ARE THAT WAY Earliest recollection carries me back to the covered wagon that) brought tobacco to our Dutch Fork once a year at the turn of the century. It was about the about fitting animals,. showman- .3 hip, etc., they won $1,500 in prize money. T Youth groups have led in most of t h e diversified agrciultural change we see underway today here in cotton’s old empire. First it was the early Corn Clubs away back yonder thait added dignity to this crop in our midst. Hogs naturally fpllowed, and the 4-H youngsters, too, led in this. Then with fat steers they made the first fat sock shows s s i b 1 e. And many a present dairyman got his start at the halter of a 4-H calf. The chain of chicks sponsored by Sears has helped establish poultry as a, crop at many a place. And so it goes. • * # GARDEN JfOW AND LATER TIL bet about a month ago the urge to garden hit you.. It does most folks. They get all enthus- iatic, buy up a lot of seed, and prepare and plant a big garden. A little later the- weather will be getting warmer and then hot. And the grass will really begin’ to grow. Then bugs and worms, that like vegetables but not grass, start coming. Soon grass takes over, you are scared of snakes in there and stay out. A 1 ** y° u had just about as well, for likely as not there's nothing in there for folks to eat anyway. But gardens don’t all have to be that way, and they are not. I see many real working gar dens as I go about. They are us ually the smaller ones.. A garden does not have to be big. A very small one can make you all sorts of high quality stuff, if you just take good care of it. And a big one is not likely Jo do that, for we just won’t take full care of it. From 3 hills of squash, two of cu cumbers, a dozen staked tomato plants, a row of okra 20 feet long, and two successive plantings of snapbeans in rows each 20 feet long last summer we had all our family of four could eat. And we like vegetables. Make the garden spot very Cprl—WtHiom Hornsby— With Marines In Philippine Exercises Marine Cpl. "William L. Horns by, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lionel L. Hornsby, of 205 Shands, street, Clinton, landed on the Phifippine Island of Luzon March 25 with the Third Marine Diivsion in the largest ship-to-shore operation held in the Far East since World | War II, The week-long exercise started i when the assault landing forces \ hit the beach in small landing) mraft: Other units hopped over simulated beach defenses in heli copters to capture key inland po sitions. This vertical envelopment con cept, developed fir^ by. the Mq- rine Corps, provides-* a. landing' force with a powerful one-two punch for securing a beachhead. The exercise includes more than 40 'miles of hiking, practi- c ? r application of tactics and techniques perfected during the Third Division’s year-long train ing program, and living in the field under simulated battle con ditions.
