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.

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.

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.
