ELEAZER Oietnson College Information Specialist LEAVE PLENTY COTTON STALKS Both experiment and experi ence show it pays to leave plenty of oattfcn stalks on the land. Olemson says three stalks per hill atx>ut 8 to 12 inches apart is about right . ' Now folks, that’s thick cotton. And we seldom see it quite that thick. For in chopping it and getting grass out we just destroy stalks we didn’t meant to, and then we wind up with less than that. But that should be our aim. For, remember this, skips don’t make cotton. Yes, every skip is a loss, for you put just as much ca P ltal 11 WKes fertilizer and work there apd then get nothing for ft. Clemson also suggests delaying thinninoo ttonabit als(sg geontg thinning cotton a bit until most danger of dying has passed. that often forms on the wind shield and defies th wiper is to just pour a Coca-Cola on it as the wiper is working. He says it clears the glass up in a jiffy. * • • ... GOOD THINGS REWARDED That good -farmer, Raymond Pender, of Williston, says, “I’m sure the Lord doesn’t count the time you spend fishing or on your knees praying.’’ INCREASING SHEEP This state once grew a lot‘of sheep. But through the years they d w i n d 1 e d to practically nothing. In recent years though they have shown signs of coming back. From less than 4,000 a few years back, we now have over 11,000 in the state. One might wonder if we are about to over-do them. I under stand the big new woolen plants in the state handle the wool of well over two million sheep. So you can see any we might hope to grow will be only a drop in the bucket. And this is a local buck et, too, since the great mills have come here. Local mills are definitely inter-i ested in local wool and are doing all they can to encourage sheep production on our farms. Clem son is cooperating in this, has put in considerable sheep research, and the extension service has put ONE THING THAT HURTS Farming has a good many problems, and some of em hurt right bad. One of these is the to really farm now. Let’s look just back to 1940. USDA tells us it took $4,000 of in vested capital per farm, worker then. By 1955 that had increas ed to $20,000! And it’s even higher now. No wonder half of our farm operators here in South Carolina have work off the farm, too. And our Eh-. Rochester tells me the 1954 Census shows a third of these get more income from the outside job than they do from the farm. • • • BOYS ARE THAT WAY Time meant little to us as kids talked the time away, until our turn came. Then I would go in the mill house and help by dip ping the warm, sweet ■melling meal with'a wooden peddle into the sack. As our com was fin ishing up, we kept the meal pushed away from the spout and in the other end of the box. And, as the last kernels disappeared from the hopper, the miller pour ed in the next man’s com. The meal from there on was his, and we just finished cleaning out from the far end of the bin. One of the men would put the sack of meal on my horse for me, dividing it equally on each side. Then, sitting on the warm sack of fresh meal, I would head back across the hills to home. And there we had a two weeks’ supply of the staff of life for folks, young biddies, and the dogs. I went by that once pleasant site the other day. And I could hardly tell where it had been. The tree was gone, the mill house, the dam, and even the rocks that buttressed the whole thing against the flood, had van ished. And the stream has even changed its ^course. Where the mill race was ai tangle of willows grow. And the water now hugs yonder bank. Change, the con stancy of change!! EVERYDAY COUNSELOR .By Dr. Herbert Bpeogh father or the mother can be in volved. I have witnessed results which are appalling and tragic. These children we bring into the world didn’t ask to come here. We, as parents, brought a fair break, to love and under- standing, and not shouting, threatening, and abuse.

His services are available to farmers and youth groups interested in sheep through the local county agent. Very few growers in this state have the full know-how for sheep. Mr. Jamison can be most helpful to them in developing that. HANDY HINTS A county agent who has tried it, tells me the best thing he has found to remove that oily film Fork. Specially was this so in the summer, when there was no school to bother us. Each day brought its charms. For wild things were always rip ening at some nook or comer. And the running streams never grew dull. I can well remember though that I always knew when Friday came. For on that day the first sound I heard was the far away, deep-throated rhythm of the grinding rocks in the old mill down on the creek a mile from other valuable dewey morning, its rhythmic pulse echoed across the hills and reminded all whose meal barrel was low that it was mill day.' By the time I got out in the yard I could see folks on horse back, with sacks of com, work ing their way down the rocky road towards the creek. And about every other week one of us used a sack of com for a saddle and joined them. Down there at the old mill we sat around under a great oak and FOR SALE 12 MONTHS OF SPRING W This AMAZING G-E DISCOVERY call*! sets a new standard trtitM In Haating-Cooling Comfort for tho American Homo 1 Imagine!

Psychologists and pediatricians say that parents who generate an irritable and contentious atmos phere in the home do great harm to the children. Many of the nervous habits which small chil dren acquire and hold often come as a result of nervousness engen dered by quarreling and conten tious parents. It isn’t necessary to shout at a child to secure obedience. Yet I’ve heard parents say that they have to shout in order to secure attention and obedience. If this is the case it is because obedience wasn’t taught at the beginning when the child learned to under stand his parents. Mothers seem to have more of a problem here than fathers. The reason is that they are with the children much more. They issue commands more rapidly than they are able to en force. Then threat follows on threat and no firm stand is taken. Next comes the shouting stage. Parents of young children early, learn to make prontises sparingly and to fulfill them punctiliously. Don’t ever prom ise some reward and then fail to deliver. This quickly under mines the child’s faith. By like I token, don’t threaten a child with] punishment if he disobeys, and then when he does, fail to de- j liver. Such acts caulse a child quickly to lose faith in his par ents and to become increasingly disobedient. • Mrs., Spaugh and I have been privileged to rear three children to maturity. I can’t recall ever having had to shout at any of them, although it is possible that I did and just don’t remember it. I now have three grandchil-, dren. Thus far I haven’t had to shout at them. They seem to love me and although they are still 1 small, they .are willing to do what I ask them to do jf I take the patience to make them un derstand what I want them to do. them here.
