HOME-MADE GOODIES
Just how to make a lot of good
things at home is carried in Bulletin
134 entitled “South Carolina Home
made Pickles, Preserves, Jams,
and Jellies.” This valuable bulletin
was originally written by that pion-
neer in this field, the late Mrs. Dora
Dee Walker, long with the Extension
Service in this state, and it was
later revised by her present suc
cessor, Miss Margaret Martin.
Another valuable bulletin along
this line for the homemaker is num
ber 112, “Home Canning of Fruits,
Vegetables, and Meats in South
Carolina.” It, too is by Miss Mar
tin .
These publications are available
free from your local home demon
stration agent or from the Publica
tions Department at Clemson.

MARKETING
Marketing is surely one of the
fanner’s greatest problems. We
have a State Agricultural Market
ing Commission that helps with this.
Our Clemson Extension Marketing
chief, J. E. Youngblood, ii Ha ex
ecutive director. They have aided
in surveying and establishing need,
ed marketing facilities at a number
of places over the state. One of
these was in Pageland. County
Agent Willis tells me i toutgrew its
space there and is being moved to
the western edge of town. That mar
ket handles most of the big melon
crop of that area.

SOIL,TESTING IN NEWBERRY
Late last year they had a drive
on ,to get the soils sampled in New-
bory county and tested by Clem
son. County Agent Busby says 7,424
samples were gotten from about a
thousand farms, tooted, and ferti
lizer and liming recommendations
made.
Ihus a lot of farmers there are in
position to do more intelligent lim
ing and to get better results from
fertilization than before. This ser
vice is available inwall counties, but
special drives have been put on in
some. County agents have the neces
sary containers, send the samples
to Clemson, and then interpret the
results when they come bade.
COASTAL-SCORES AGAIN
Coastal Bermuda grass continues
to prove its value and make friends
Where handled right.
County Agent McCord of George
town has often told me how they
liked it down there. And last fall he
said, “It was outstanding, not only
producing a lot of grazing, but giv
ing us the only hay we made. We
cured it between rains.”
Coastal nay does cure quick. You
can usually have it housed while
other hays are still exposed to
weather, curing.
Our Coastal man, Hugh Woodle,
tells me you can sprig this grass in
at all seasons. But spring i$ usually
the best time. And that’s not far
off now. There are various ways
of planting the sprigs. Your county
ageih can give you some good ideas
on this.
« *. *
WEATHER!
Weather is a powerful factor in
farming. It can undo your best ef
forts. County Agent Linder of Lee
says they had a lot of cotton not
worth taking out of the field last
fall. Livingston of Florence said Jt
ruined most of their Ijaryest, ex
cept tobacco, that was already in.
Johnston of Beaufort said it took
their fall truck crop just is it was
getting ready for the harvest. And
so the story went.
Some sort of crop insurance! We
sure need that.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
No one else is quite Idee a pal of
boyhood.
And we had ’em for sure in the
Stone Hills where I came up.
Yes, folks meant a lot then. For
that's about all we had. The rest
was the untamed and rugged hills
•and vales forming the V madefy
the cofluence of the two rivers,
Broad and Saluda.
“We always had two or three spec
ial buddies, some white and some
black. And they didn’t change much',
except when one moved away
across the creek or somewhere. But
that was very seldom, as the Dutch
Forker stayed pretty well to his
brier patch.
I recall with fondest memory my
[Colored playmates. Most kids were
J rather good then, but they were
J genuinely so. TTiey would do any
thing for us and we for them. They
! have largely drifted from my kriow-
ledge now and gone from the Fork
I’d sure like to see Ze^e, (my fa
vorite )and Chike, and Fawly, and
Green. And then there was Henry
He^was from a large family. One
day^ I asked him where they all
( slept. He said, “Us got five
a cradle, and a crotch (me)
cot.)”
And then among my white bud
dies was, first and foremost, Mar
vin. He liter lived in Columbia, did
all right, and died a few years ago.
My, the happy hours, weeks, and
years we had together during the
carefree days of boyhood. I could
write a book about me and Zeke and
Marvin. And then there were Mike
and Wilbur and Jack and Case, and
Harold and Louie, too, who came to
our school from across the creek.
If we could get together, I’H bet we
would never quit talking.
In the after years we male new
friends as we go along, adylt
friends. And they, too, are good.
Biit they are never quite'like those
we had back in our shirt-tail days,
when we swam naked in the creek,
feasted on the wild bounty of- the
woods, beaj out of everything we
could that resembled wofk, and
suffered together with starched
blouses and shoes on at church on
hot Sundays.
EVERYDAY
COUNSELOR
By Bishop Herbert Spaugh
Many people stay in trouble be
cause they refuse to move out of
it. Some are unhappy in their^work,
when a change, which they can
make, will correct it. Others are
unhappy in their home life, when
there is always something they can
do about it. Still others are unhappy
in their personal lives because they
have never made peace with God
They can also correct that if they
desire to do it .
Some years ago while visiting
the tovely Cypress Gardens in Flori
da near Lake Worth, the following
, inscription fastened to an old Cy
press tree attracted m^ attention:
'And what do you expect, old
Bearded One, But gnarled and swol
len-joints? And why comptain, In
soft whispers of your rheumatism,
When every day in sunshine and in
. rain, You persist in standing in the
water, And twisting your great toes
I in beds of fern? No wonder you are
grey and gnarled, Old One! But
then I suppose you’ll never Jearn.”
While the authorship of these,, lines
was not given, yet I must pay trib
ute to the writer and the thoughts
which these lines suggest. That
which used to be galled rheumatism
is now called arthritis, or some oth
er modern name. One of the in
structions invariably 4(fiven .to such
sufferers is to avoid fear and worry,
to learn to relax, to avoid things
which irritate and upset the emo
tional balance. - • ,
How many we meet who are fum
ing and. complaining about wrongs
done to them by other people! Yet
they do nothing about them but
complain. They make no real effort
to improve their situation
Ther^ is an interesting story in
the life of Jesus concerning an expe
rience He and His disciples had
with some very disagreeable peo
ple. They were journeying down
from Galilee into Judea and passed
through Samaria. There was deep
enmity between the Jews and the
Samaritans, so when they reached
Samaritan village and attempted
to spend the night there, permission
was refused. The disciples became
furious, and asked Jesus to call
down a fire from heaven to destroy
these churlish people. Jesus calmly
brushed their childish request aside,
and simply led them to another
friendly village. -
