f h- I ■ I I Thursday, August 1, 1957 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Page Nine FARMS... AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Gemson College Information Specialist EATING MORE LOCAL MEAT We had to develop a livestock industry before we could a local meat industry. We have been hammering heavy on livestock now about 30 years. And our meat process ing plants have sure been coming along of late. I well recall when we started with hogs in Sumter back about 1928, when . I was county agent there. There was nowhere south of Richmond we could sell a oar of hogs. A few truckloads went to local butchers, but not carloads. Now we have up to date pack ing plants dotted all over the state, each handling cattle and hogs by the craload daily. Our livestock producers have been pushing the use of more of our good local meats. Apparently this is bearing fruit. I notice the statistician’s report for April shows our locally slaughtered cat tle were up 28 per cent from the year before, calves up 33 per cnt, and locally slaughtered hogs were up 16 per cent from that month last year. Have you tried our locally grown and processed meats? We have,, found them as good as the best, and now use none other. * • • MED FLY ERADICATED The dread Mediterranean fruit fly that was found to have gained a strong footing in the citrus area of Florida a little over a year ago has been mopped up, according to a report from USDA. Since the infected area included th cities of Miami, Palm Beach, and some ~ofthers, where scatterings. ofLcitxus grow in yards, eradication once looked all but impossible. But the EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Dr. Herbert Spaagh Clear to the coast, the county agents ate now reporting succsses with barley. County Agent John ston, of Horry, right down on the coast, reports, ‘'We had a definite increarse in barley acreage the past season and some very fair yields, too.” It is handled me chanically and soybeans can fol low it. , Farmers in the up-state have long counted barley as their “win ter com crop,” for it’s about equal to com in feeding all sorts of live stock. And, growing in the win ter and spring, as it does, it es capes summer drought that so often affects corn. With both com and barley, the farmer’s feed supply is better protected. * t * BOYS ARE THAT WAY I grew up distrusting a man carrying a brief case or a banjo. It happened this. way. I A slicker came through the Fork one fall when I was a kid driving two fine horses to a rub ber-tired buggy. He was flashily dressed and carried the first brief case I had ever sen. ,He was a fast talker and delighted us for awhile, as we sat there on the awhile. Soon he implied that the riches he displayed had come from oil and that he was letting a few select folks in on it. The oil stock he scattered through the countryside was ut terly worthless. A strange colored man came to our community at “big meeting” time one summer. He, too, wore rather loud clothes. The only times I saw him he was walk ing along the roads with a banjo on his back. And occasionally at St. Paul was begged by his friends not to go to Jerusalem for they feared for his life, He died for Christ. Once he wrote, “For me to live & Christ and to die is gain.” John Hus, an early Reformer, died at the stake in Constance be cause he held to the truth of God’s Word. ‘ William Tyndale was burned to death with his own translation When a man dies, we usually ask the cause of his death. Was it an accident? Was there a linger ing Illness? What killed McCar thy at a comparatively early age? Why men die today has chang ed from a generation ago. Some of the most dreaded diseases are now harmless, thanks to miracle drugs. Today men’s worst kill ers are cancer and heart trouble. In due time medical science will control these problems just as po lio was. Though medical science pro gresses and fatal illnesses may be conquered, men will always die. It was appointed for every man to die. Tt is conceivable that the day will come when all diseases will be under control. Then man will probably dies of old age. Every man may die of some thing, but not every man dies for something. There is a world of difference between the two. To die of soipething is human and natural. To die for some thing is divine. There is no vir tue in dying of something. TTiis may mean merely quantity of life—extension of life to the maximum. This is life in terms of years. The oldest man in the Bible was Methusaleh who lived 969 years. What did he do with his many years? The record curtly gives as his obituary, “And he died " Someone described Me thuselah’s life as one with no hits, no runs, and no errors. -AU-w^ can say about his life was that it^ had quantity. It is not a matter a>f dying of something but for something. The supreme example of this was Jesus. He died for the cause of God, to give His life a ransom for man. He died for man’s sins. In a sense He was a victim of man's hatred and jealousy, but he delib- and perchance humming a bit riarim? men of -science went after 0116 night someone vis1ted a neighbor’s, hen house and got it with quarantines, traps and vast financial aid from the state and federal governments, and here the staggerifig job is finished in a year! This triumph has meaning for us here, too, and for many sec tions of this country other than Florida, where the invasion took place. For this fly’s larvae affects many crops, not just citrus. t * * ANOTHER FIRST FOR SOUTH CAROLINA The National Coton Council re ports: “The first instructional pro gram in gin engineering of its kind in the United States will be gin this fall at Clemspn College, Clemson, S. C." Being first in this country likely makes it first in the world. And the Council further re ports: “Seven gin machinery manufacturers and the Clayton Fund are contrbiuting $51,000 to the Foundation for-Cotton Re search and* Education to support the gin engineering program be ing initiated this fall at Clemson. ’Fifteen graduate, one-year fel lowships worth $2,500 each are being set up to attract outstand ing students. An average of three scholarships each year will be awarded for five years.” • * * BARLEY ADVANCES It hasn’t been many years since barley was just grown in the up- country. But of late the plant breeders have produced disease- resistant sorts that do well on the dusk riie ^wouM^be strumming- iV gjjgigjy'faced'the cTeas because he knew it was for man’s good. That is why Christians call the day of better away with a lot of chickens. Ev erybody said it was that stranger with the banjo. So for years afterward a banjo strapped to the back of a wander ing minstrel was to me the badge of a chicken thief. And until this day I am still leery of a fellow with a brief case and the one who carries a banjo around, although reason tells me tljat honorable men could and likely do both. Childhood impressions are strong. HARRY D. ANDERSON Laurens—Harry D. Anderson, 67, native of Washington County, Pa., died suddenly about 7:00 p. m.
