ELEAZER demson College Information Specialist NEW BERMUDA A Bermuda grass selection from down in the Southwest named NK- 37 came to us quite heralded. So demonstration plantings of it were arranged by our Hugh Woodle for every county in the state. We have had just one year's results with it, which are not conclusive. But so far the agents tell me the few older plantings winter killed quite badly and seemed subject to diseases that do not affect the other Bermudas as bad here. We will try it some further. Hugh says it might fit in as an annual hay plant in a rotation.. It makes seed and therefore we don’t have to sprig it in as we do Coastal. How ever, to some that would prove un desirable, to have a Bermuda grass that makes seed and might thereby spread to areas where you don’t want it. Of it, County Agent McCord of Georgetown, says: “At this time it appears that although NK-37 is a good grass, it is not superior in any way to Coastal.” Only time and a little more expe rience will tell how this new grass will finally turn out. * • • IRRIGATION COSTS On the fine delta lands of Miss issippi they are going strongly to ir rigation. And some great yields of cotton, corn, and soybeans are re- suiting. At present prices they fig ure R takes about 250 pounds of added seed cotton per acre to pay the cost of irrigation, 15 bushels more corn, and an increase of 7 bushels of soybeans to pay for irri gating them. Results there for a number of years show that increased yields from irrigation average far above those costs. And so has it here at Clemson and over South Carolina. Irrigation is the clincher that enables you to cash in on all of the other good practices you put into the making of a crop. For none of ’em can ’la ter out without the needed water. » * • A BILLION DOLLAR POTENTIAL Our forester, Bill Barker, tells me the annual harvest from our wood lands in South Carolina is now 333 million dollars. That’s over five times the value of our present cotton crop! And listen further to Bill: “The sales value of our forest products could even amount to one billidh dollars annually in South Carolina if we would put good forestry prac tices into effect in all of our wood land.” A billion dollar potential!

Yes, we are employing more and more of ’em. And we need 'em up to the hilt. Clemson's forestry school is bulg ing with this growing interest. The newest school in the agriculutral department, it has grown into the largest. Clemaon’s fine facilities of land, location, and personnel make an ideal setting for a school of for estry, and its growth has been phe nomenal. , * * • BOYS ARE THAT WAY Our hides were stained by the red clay of the hills, when we came along in the Dutch Fork. The soils there were either very muddy or very dusty. And there was never much time in between. As kids, we adapted ourselves to both the dust and the mud. But we liked the mud best. It felt so good to the bare feet, to splash through it. But early in the season, before they got good and tough, sharp flint rocks in it often cut through the skin that hadn’t hardened and toughened up yet. But later on, the soles were as leather, and even turned sharp rocks and briers. We liked to skate in the mud. But at most places there were too many rocks in it for that. Down in the pas ture though was a place where the fine clay silted in that had no rocks. We kept the sparse vegetation shav ed of of a strip there and it made fine skating. Tbat was a tedious job and We were up some size before we fully mastered it. That place, too, soon dried out after rains and ruined the skating. But we had the remedy there in a pothole in the ditch that rarely dried up. We all wore wool hats then. Using them as containers, we’d form a bucket brigade and soon have the course wet down good. Then the skating was good for an hour or more. We had many a muddy seat be fore learning how to skate the full course. I remember once I had my Sunday clothes on for some reason and the other kids were skating. It looked so good I just had to try it. Just thought I’d take one fling, and would make it a good one. So I went far back, got a good running start on the grass, and as I hit the mud strip I was really going. About half way through I teetered, whirl ed my arms to rty to catch my bal ance, both feet shot out forward, and I sat down going perhaps 15 miles per hour Well, sir, the boys seldom had as good a laugh as that. My legs just spread out and I accumulated the soft mud between my legs until it ran over in that V and spilled out. I really had some hard explaining when I got home But for some rea son they did not give me the ex pected thrashing CREDITORS’ NOTICE All persons having claims against the estate of Olin H.

October 22. 1958 Jc-N-13 EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Dr. Herbert Spsagh r — - November is growing to be appre ciation mnoth. Youth Appreciation Week will be observed in North Carolina this year November 10-16 This “pat on the back” drive is designed to encou rage organizations and other groups to show publicly their respect for the 95 per cent of our youngsters who are good citizens. It is further designed to encourage adults to cul tivate a greater understanding of the needs of youth. It is sponsored by Optimist International, and was fathered by a Charlotte, N. C., Man, Earl Yarborough We have a fine group of young people coming up. The majority of them are wholesome, seeking in- rpiration and guidance. Children are naturally religious. They have to be trained away from it by their pa rents. They crave attention, love, appreciation, and encouragement. If they don’t get it voluntarily, then they seek to be noticed in other ways, often disastrous ones. Back of every case of juvenile delinquency is a life starved for af fection and encouragement. If pa rents want to understand their chil dren, they can do no better than to introduce them early to Jesus Christ, study their Bibles, and read a good book on child psychology. Then remember that all of this re- quires personal companionship. Take them to church and Sunday school. Don’t send them. In addition, the Junior Woman’s Clubs of North Carolina are spon soring a Teacher Appreciation Day on November 13. The idea here is to arouse tangible appreciation for the teachers of our youth. The teacher has to be devoted to her work, as the average child doesn’t usually appreciate them until much later in life. Our teachers, too, need far more appreciaiton than they get. Unless you love it, teaching is a rather thankless job. How many of you pa rents have ever expressed appre ciation to the teachers of your chil dren. Finally, there comes God Appre ciation Day on November 27. We call it Thanksgiving Day when we need to be expressing appreciation to Almighty God. He has blessed this land wonderfully with material things and also spiritual opportuni ties. Too many of us have a wrong sense of values. Instead of following our national motto, “In God We Trust,” we have made it, “In Gold We Trust.” We place the acquisition of material things uppermost. That is utterly wrong. Experience proves it. Jesus gave us the key when He said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these (material) things shall he add ed unto you.” It is strange that love and appre ciation which are most desired com modities on the world market today are in such short supply. How important it is for parents to teach their children to say, “Thank you.” From ray childhood days I remember this little rhyme. “There are two MtUe golden keys. They are Thank You' and 'If you please’.” Make this Appreciation Month Practice it on your loved ones, your friends, and don't forget—above Who practice it on Almighty God has blessed you so richly.
