‘Soma primal termite knockad The break-through In mechani-
on wood
And tasted it, and found it
good,
And that is why our Cousin
May
Fell through the parlor floor
today.”
Like Ogden Nash, who wrote
the above poem, Ctemson’s W. C.
Nettles finds nothing drab and
hum-drum about members of the
lowly insect breed.
To him, man’s fight against
the insect world is real, serious,
and dramatic. He knows, for in
stance, that the boll weevil, if
permitted to carry out his own
designs, might wipe out a 75-mil-
lion-dollar cotton crop in a mat
ter of days—with disastrous re
sults to thousands of persons.
Army worms could likewise eat
up a promising soybean crop in
a matter of hours.
The war against pests that at
tack plants, animals, and man
is hard and never-ending. As
head extension' entomoligst at
Clemson, Nettles is at one season
advising on the kind and frequen
cy of sprays—and at another urg
ing farmers to turn under pient
residue or follow certain crop ro
tations.
Nettles trouble-shooting has not
been confined entirely to the in
sect world. He’s had requests to
advise on ridding lawns of stink
ing toadstools and barns of rats.
As a reward for his unending
fight against bugs, Progressive
Farmer magazine thi« month
picked him as the ‘‘Man of the
Year in South Carolina Agricul
ture.’’
Congratulations, W. C. Netties!

Homeowners and ornamental
nurserymen speak different lang
uages.
As a result, buying shrubs to
plant around the home can be
frustrating—even exasperating.
Nurserymen use the botanical
names in inventories and price
lists. There are so many pi»n»«
that they have to use botanical
names—which are, incidentally,
universally understood — except
by custonMra
Nurserymen also-usr common
names of .plants when talking
with customers. This helps to
communicate, but it has limita
tions. Customers themselves are
not at all in agreement on the
common names.— H
Your best bet may be to go
personally to the nursery or sales
place and pick out what plants
you wart. If you’re not sure what
Should we mechanist cotton
pickingT
Clemson Extension Service Di
rector George B. Nutt gives three
reasons in favoji of doing so.
We can better compete with
other areas; better adjust to our
dwindling labor supply; and save
cotton crops from possible loss
by hurricanes.
cal picking came Ust year, he
says, when more than 400 spin
dle pickers were used to harvest
30 per cent of the state’s crop.
Director Nutt is chairman of
the Clemson extension cotton
committee.

You take the high road, and
I’ll take ...
South Carolina’s fabulous new
highways are engineering mar
vels.
From Greenville, the motorist
can turn south on 276, ride it
down to the vicinity of Clinton,
eaae onto* 146, and
rapted on to
burg motorists will have it Just
as easy when the I-M leg from
Clinton to Spartanburg is com-
tetedi
There are practically no stops,
and no grade crossings.
or
It’s really two highways. Traffic
going south goes in one highway,
cars Shaded north are on another
along la parallel fashion. The out
er roads are for local travelers
between the traffic interchanges.
The new highway is off the
beaten path. You see plenty of
but few pastures or
cultivated fields. You can
perhaps half a dozen farm hous
es between Clinton and Colum
bia. Most of them are not orient
ed to front toward the new road.
Agriculture is dependent on
roads and transportation sya-
terns more than ever before.
Farm products must now go
from the farm to
plants. From there they are dis
tributed by highway or railroad
back to the consuming centers.
You’d see empty shelves in the
grocery store if they could not be
re-supplied during the span of a
single week.
Government Without Coiuent
By TflUBMOND SENSING, Executive Vfce-Pwsident
Southern States Industrial Council
While Americans spend $40 bil
lion a year to protect the nation
from foreign aggressors, the
rights of U. S. citizens are with
ering away at home.
This is the meaning of the
tragic second battle of New Or
leans between the Louisiana leg
islature and the federal Judiciary.
It is an unequal battle, for on
one side—the side of the state
authority—is simply the solemn
assurance of our country’s politi
cal tradition that the Republic
will be based on the consent of
the governed. On the other side—
the side of th courts—is the ar
rogance of Judges who believe
that nothing may be permitted to
stand in the way of their edicts
and who act confidently in the
knowledge that the total power of
the nation, including bayonets,
will be used to implement their
will.
And thus it has been that the
legitimate voice of the people of
Louslana—the legislature of that
state—has been blanketed by the
most high-handed abuse directed
against a sovereign state in mod
ern times. Though the Constitu
tion of the United States contains
no provision whatsoever for fed
eral operation of a state’s school
system, the federal courts In Lou
isiana have gone to extreme
board. The courts have
state officials in contempt be^
cause the latter sought to operate
the schools as the taxpayers
wished them to be operated.
Banking institutions in New Or
leans have been forced to sub
mit to court demands Hint state
funds be spent in a manner not
approved by state agencies.
There is only one word thfct fits
idnd <rf p[arS8"y«>u mod, 'younf] ^ ^ the word
find most established
mne reliable advisors.
Homeowners are giving more
attention to landscaping their
grounds. Ornamental horticul
ture has been one of the fastest
growing segments of agriculture
in Soyth Carolina.
County and home demonstra
tion agents get numerous re
quests for help with landscape
problems. In fact, the demand
upon them has been so great that
Celm^On recently employed a full'
time ornamental horticulturist to
help them. He is William R. Gar
ren, formerly employed by the
Biltmore Estate in Asheville, N.
C. Ifls services should be re
quested through the office of the
county aqent in your county
tyranny.” Louisiana, in the eyes
of the courts, is without funda
mental rights as though it were
some Persian satrapy undo- Ro
man rule long ago.
Americans who live in regions
outside the South can’t seem to
understand how shocked and of
fended Southerners are at the in
vasion of states rights in Louisi
ana. It is no wonder, for the re
porting of the school dispute in
Neu Orleans has been even more
distorted than usual.
Throughout the early weeks of
the dispute, wire services and in
dividual Northern newspa p e r s
and magazines distributed dozens
of stories that presented the in-
tergationists as heroic folk and
the believers in separate schools
—the majority of Louisiana citi
zens—as primitives with no sense
of justice or decency. The State
of Louisiana was cruelly UbeUed,
but there is no way to have the li
bel corrected in the court of pub
lic opinion .
Yet one can be sure that those
Americans who approved of the
drastic measures used against
the State of Louisiana will, in
time, pay -for their harsh and un
reasoning attitude. They will pay
because it is impossible' to de
prive the people of Louisiana of
their rights without also depriv
ing other Americans of their
rights. The dictatorial orders is
sued by the federal courts in New
Orleans will haunt other regions
in the, years ahead. They will
serve as legal precedents for
high handed judges elsewhere in
the nation.
Have tee fallen so low that we
shall destroy completely the prin
ciples of states rights, the corner
stone of government on which our
founding fathers so wisely build-
ed? If so, we can forget our Ideals
and tell our traditional form of
government goodbye. One can be
quite sure the Communists would
like to see this happen; they know
it would be much easier to sub
vert a centralized government
than the governments of fifty
states. They also know, whether
we do or not, that a centralized
government is always a totalita
rian government—and It mak
no difference whether it is the
planned economy of socialism,
the regimentation of commun
ism, or the autocratic rule of dic
tatorship. In each case, the peo
ple lose their freedom.
Perhaps it is too late to teach
as a super school the present generation of Ameri
cans outside the South that ex
cessive governmental power is a
terible evil. But. they will learn!
For, as Lord Acton said in the
last century, “power corrupts;
and absolute power corrupts ab
solutely.” The sins of today’s
courts, which seek to promote a
social revolution in the South at
the expense of white citizens and
their rights, will result in a na
tional denial of rights that an
other generation will have many
occasions to regret.

Today may seem like any other
Thursday to you. but to each stu
dent at C inton High it means
the completion of another semt
ter's work. Now we seniors have
only one more semester of high
school. The senior who maintains
an A average next semester will
not have to take the second se
mester exams.
Even though the exams are
over, regular classes will be held
tomorrow. To celebrate the com
pletion of exams, members of the
Transportation Chib and their
dates plan to go ice skating in
Greenville Saturday night. With
a little bit of luck those careful
bus drivers may not break too
many bones at the Ice Palace.
The Clinton basketball teams
were victorious last Friday night
even though it was Friday, the
13th. The girls’ varsity team
both of the boys’ teams beat the
unlucky Newberry teams at New
berry.
During chapel last Friday, Mr.
Ted Prevatte showed a film en
titled “The Bridge Between
This film, which was show in
connection with the New March
of Dimes drive, made the CHS
students realize bow fortunate
they are in not being crippled
with polio or arthritis. Tomorrow
‘during chapel the two cakes will
,be given away to the two home
rooms that have the longest
strings of dimes for the March of
Dimes.
Also lari week we seniors re
ceived our personal cards that
we put in our graduation invita
tions. For the next few days ev
erybody whs. busy exchanging
cards.
This Friday night'the Clinton
TLgh basketball teams will play
Laurens at Clinton. Please sup
port the teams by coming to the
games.
