ELEAZER demNon College Information BpedaMst SOYBEAN ACREAGE Commercia] soy beam started in this state not many years ago in the vicinity of St. Matthews. As John Wannatnaker there bred better suit ed sorts, the acreage grew, over flowing the county boundaries, and now they are found all over the state.' A little late in reaching the far counties, it is now to be found considerably in most. County Agent Willis of Chester field, up on the North Carolina line, tells me their soybean acreage is up about a fourth over last year, and the crop looks very promising. That and crotalaria give them a lot of summer legumes. And every thing from both of these is left on the land, except the seed that are usually harvested. Fast land im provement there! * * * HAMBURGER Ten years ago 30 per cent of the homes in this country used ham burger, and it accounted for 17 per cent of the beef. Now 62 per cent of the homes use it and it accounts for 30 per cent of the total beef used. And the ten dency is still upward. Change! We have it here. No wonder Good hamburger cooked right is good eatin’. Ham burger from good lean beef, I mean, not that from fat, scraps, and trimmings To insure getting the right sort, we like to have it fresh ground from good quality lean meat. Seasoned with a bit of garlic, salt, pepper, and touched off with a little Worcestershire sauce, as it is finishing in the hot broiling pan. it makes mighty easy eatin,! It runs steak a mighty close second in my book. And It’s cheaper, too. Beef production is definitely head ed for the Southeast. From 1949 to 1956 beef cattle production increas ed 61 per cent in the nation. In the western states, where most of it has been raised in the past, the increase was only 17 per cent. But in the Southeast it was 130 per cent And we are still growing fast with bat tle. We are learning how to grow grass. That tells the story of our phenomenal growth in beef * • * BOYS ARE THAT WAY Last week I told you of our using grape vines for jump ropes. We had to do that mainly down in the pas ture, for parents taught us not to cut the fruitful vines of the wild grapes that abounded in our Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork when we came along. The best time we ever had with a grape vine was down on our Wateree Creek, just below where Rister Creek came into it. There was a giant ash tree lean- HEATS UP TO 8 ROOMS at the (ost of 4 FULL HOUSE HEATING with th« miracle of and ffcare are no costly pipos and rogiston to installl Doit an ordinary heater force you to live in one or two rooms when the temperature drope?

C. mg over a sizable pool there in the bead of the crook. Oa tho far bank of the crescent the moving water had cut a deep hole and sharp high bank The bank on our side was a bit lower and the water was shal lower there The place was about 50 feet wide. A three-inch grape vine hung from close to the top of that tall tree, right over that pool, and gracefully arched back to the bank on our side, where it was rooted. We saw in it a great swing. So we chopped it off. It got loose from use and hung right in the middle of the creek. It was “dog days” and parents had read the law down to us about not going into the water then. We thought it would make sores break out on us. But we had a problem How were we to get our vine? Ben, always our daredevil, volun teered to go in and pull the loose end back to the bank. For that, he got the first ride. He went away back up the sloping bank about 40 feet, drew his feet up and grace fully glided back and clear across the creek Everybody’s eyes spark led with anticipation and there were smiles on all faces Ben took off on the other side and glided back across to us. We fussed for about 10 minutes before we could deter mine wbo was to get the next ride So we fixed a lot of straws of differ ent length. Ben held them, and we drew for our turns. So around and around we went, riding high and handsome across that creek above the forbidden wa ter. About my third turn, I failed to go far enough up the bank to start, and didn’t have enough momentum to take me across. Back and forth I swung on that dying pendulum, as they laugthed in glee and I got more and more scared. Finally it came to a halt, hanging right in the middle of that deep water, with me there on the end of it. I got almost panicky. Ben said I couldn't swim very good; so he’d come in there with an old floating log and for me to drop off when he was near. I did and frantically grabbed that log, as I came up, strangling on water It’s a wonder any of us kids sur vived. But we did I’ve heard the Lord takes care of fools and chil-1 dren And He must.

Modern pa rents arc disposed to expect outside organizations like the school, the church, Boy and Girl Scouts, to train their children These organiza tions do wonderful jobs in training but when it comes to character mo ral and spiritual values, the re sponsibility comes back to the home. It is here that children gain their sense of values by watching what their parents do, not by listen ing to what they say The church and the school can help in the teach ing, but the main job must be done at home and by example. From time to time we hear some one urging that there be more em phasis upon character development in the schools, in the churches. Certainly these are helping agen cies, but no matter what children are taught in school or in church, they cannot overcome the example back home—what the parents and their friends do. Character, like a building, is con structed from the foundation up It starts in the home with the small child. It is here that the child learns a sense of love and security or can feel its lack. One of his basic de-| sires is love and security If it is furnished to him in the home, his life develops naturally, normally, healthily Who hasn't heard the old saying, "You can't make a silk puree out of a sow g ear.’ Applied to character, schools cannot teach moral and spiritual values to a child if there is nothing to build on from home training Educate the child without charac ter and moral values, and he be comes an educated potential crim inal Someone has said that a man has only as much religion or character as he can command in an emer gency That's true Trouble and ad- OFFICF.
