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-

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.

EVERYDAY
COUNSELOR
- By Dr. Herbert Plough
Character, like religion, is caught,
not taught The place where this
process commences and largely
continues is the home. 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-
