WBAT 4-H*ERS DO AT CAMP
Reflecting back on their very auc-
cessful summer 4-H camp that had
an attendance of 285 from all parts
of Lexington county, Assistant
County Agent Hipp recalls: “While
recreation was one of the most im
portant phases of camp life, mem
bers also received instruction in
citizenship, good manners, water
safety, tractor operation and care,
beautification of home grounds, use
of power tools, and tree and nature
study.”
GRAPES AS A CROP
County Agents tell me of growing
interest in grapes as a crop, spec
ially in the upper part of th^etate.
• Long experience at Ciyjisdn has
shown we can grow good ones. Now
the growers have formed their as
sociation for promoting the crop.
A juice plant is to be built, and
leased to the New York firm that
has been processing our grapes that
we trucked up to them the past two
summers.
County Agent Morgan of Oconee
says: “We are well pleased with
the livability and growth, of the 8,-
500 vines planted last season. More
will be set out this winter.”
Wood of Pickens says: “The
grape program is well underway
here.”
Martin of Spartanburg reports:
“All farmers who set out new grape
vines the past season and signed up
twith the Palmetto Grape Marketing
Association were visited during the
growing season. Most of them have
good stands and the vines are doing
well. Considerable additional plant
ings will be made this winter.”
Cochran of Union: “Our new
vineyards are in excellent condi
tion.”
Some agents report trouble with
black rot on many of their grapes
the past summer.. Our grape man,
Roy Ferree, points to this as em
phasizing the need for good spray
equipment and for following a rigid
disease control (>rogram.
A lot of know-how has to be de
veloped in establishing any new
crop. We can get that best by fol
lowing the written instructions un
til we have developed that inherent
know-how from experience. Good
spray equipment, like the peach
growers use, is needed for grapes,
too, Roy tells me.
DEHYDRATING AND
PELLETING FORAGE
Clemson has had a pilot dehydra
tion and pelleting plant for the past
two seasons. The pelleted forages
have been used in feeding tests with
poultry, hogs and cattle. The past
summer a commercial size plant
was put in at Clemson’s Edisto
Station near Blackville. Expanded
experimental feeding of dehydrated
and pelleted roughages will result
from this installation. And inter
ested farm groups can go there and
see a commercial plant in opera
tion.
A large plant of this sort has been
built at Estill, County Agent
Thompson tells me. And Willis of
Chesterfield says interest is strong
among farmers for the erection of
one, too
With our usual high humidity and
rainfall during the haying season,
this new way of saving forage in
its very prime best is being thor
oughly investigated. For forage cut
at just the right time, regardless
of weather, and quickly cured re
tains values that are normally lost
in tht sun and shawm inherent
in natural curing.

BOYS ARK THAT WAY
Last week we started through the
paths of childhood. I didn’t have
room to finish, I saw so much along
those hallowed paths when I went
there of late. So let’s tarry there a
bit more today.
From the wooded spot, where the
old school house stood, I walked on
to the back of the place. The early
leaves of autumn were gently fall
ing yellow and crimson in the dim
path. I thought of the two score and
ten seasons that had passed since.
1 walked there as a dreaming bare
foot boy. The honey locust was rip
ening on the self same tree, but the
old persimmon was marked only by
its rotting stump.
Away back there, where the field
we called the New round, young
timber had come across the old cot
ton beds that you could still see
there, padded with a soft cushion
of straw. And the same pile of
rocks we had put in a terrace
break, when that was a field, made
a mound there and was overgrown
with vines.
From clean culture, and what
not, the spring has long ago dried
up. There I had lingered often as
a kid, getting out of work in the
fields. And on back across the Sites
place I went. The old log house
was gone and a wilderness of briers
and bushes was all that marked
■he fruitful old homestead of lonj,
ago. I walked on down where a
wonderful scaly bark tree used to
grow on a terrace. The field had
come to pines, and had been cut.
And I couldn’t even find where the
fine scaly bark tree had been. Along
through childhood's delightful
years, we never let any of those
nuts go to waste.
I swung back through the bottom
lands that border our creek. Sap
lings had become great trees there
and been cut. And a new growth
was dense. The creek had about
dried up, as it did once when I was
a kid, and I thought I could see a
rough line of rocks across the chan
nel where we once built a crude
dam.
Back up to where we had lived
didn’t aeem as far nor steep. And
what used to b* “the big field’ 7
didn’t lock big at all then.
Memories, memories! I like to
travel back through them at timas.
EVERYDAY
COUNSELOR
By Dr.
It is amazing what the physically
handicapped achieve and accom
plish. Some of our great leaders
have been such, as the late Pres
ident Franklin D. Roosevelt, and
now our Secretary of State Herter.
So often I have noticed that when
a man or woman is handicapped in
one area, he is heightened in an
other.
This is National Employ-the-Phy-
sically - Handicapped Week It
prompts us to look about at exam
ples of men and women who are
making great contribution to their
fellowmen. We find them in every
walk of life,
Mrs. Nan Killough is an outstand
ing example of this in my home
town of Charlotte, N. C. She is a
special teacher of physically handi
capped children in the Charlotte
Public Schools. But she has not al
ways worked in this specialized
field. She came into it by the way
of suffering.
For a number of years she was a
successful teacher in Oakhurst
School. Then in 1949 she was a vic
tim of a serious automobile acci
dent She suffered a broken neck as
well as other injuries which kept
her confined to the hospital for six
months. There followed a protracted
period of convalescence. In 1950 she
went to the Institute of Physical
Medicine and Rehabilitation at
Belleview Hospital in New York,
headed by the internationally fa
mous Dr. Howard Rusk, who did
so much for physically handicapped
veterans of World Wad II. She was
greatly helped there, but said that
much of what she learned there
which helped her to help others she
could have found at home if she had
searched for it.
After she returned to Charlotte,
she took an Extension Course at the
University of North Carolina at
Chartatte C«ltaf«, To giv* her •
lift.” During (Mr time Kw met a
teacher who was working in the
Hospital and Home-bound teaching
program for victims of polio of the
Charlotte Schools. She commenced
to help in this work. Near the end
of the school year, this teacher
came to her and asked if she would
like to take her place, as she was
resigning to be married This teach
er took her to see H. J. Hikes, su
pervisor of special training. He em
ployed her forthwith, and now
speaks in glowing terms of her
work
Mrs Killough now is teacher of
the Orthopedic Class at Elizabeth
School and is doing a magnificent
piece of work. Thirteen of her chil
dren are in wheel chairs
%
"This is the most satisfying work
I have ever done I look forward to
each day with joy. The children are
so cooperative and appreciative,”
said Mrs Killough. My conversation
with her revealed why the children
were cooperative. Her spirit of joy'
and love were infectious
In spite of her crippled condition,
which makes walking dificult, she
does about her work with enthu
siasm She even drives her own au
tomobile. She is following the rule
given by Jesus Christ. “Whosoever
would save his life shall lose it:
and whosoever will lose his life for
My sake shall find it”
There are many tasks which the
pBjuif >llj baadicappud can 4a
batter than those who arc endowed
with all thjir facuMar So few of oi
really put our talents to fullest use.
Some of you who read this are suf
fering physical handicap of some
kind. You may avea bo overcome
with discouragemoat or oalf pity.
Read Mrs. Killough's story again
You may write her at Elizabeth
School in Charlotte, N C.
Others of you who read this could
employ some of these physically
handicapped If you do, you will
probably find them to ha among
your best and most faithful work
ers, and they will he a teaic to
