THE CLINTON CHRONICLE
Thursday, July 20, 1961
Aid Of Gtizen* Should
Be Requested And Used
In another column in today’s paper ap
pears a letter addressed to the Laurens-
County legislative delegation in the General
Assembly from Hugh L. Eichelberger, Clin
ton citizen, a copy of which was furnished
The Chronicle by the writer.
In the letter, Mr. Eichelberger offers a
suggestion that our legislative representa
tives avail themselves of the counsel and
ability of business men of the county in
operation of the county’s affairs and plan
ning for the future.
The suggestion is made that an “Advis-
ory Committee” consisting of business men
who have the welfare of the county at heart
be appointed to work with members of the
delegation, giving advice and aid in carry
ing on the entire operation of the county.
Mr. Eichelberger states, "In my opinion
it is unfair to the elected members of the
Laurens County delegation, the county, the
citizens, and their institutions to try to op
erate a business as large as Laurens County
without the help of more of the good bus
iness men of the county."
Further, he says these men "would be
willing to give of their time and counsel for
developing a well planned program of ex
pansion over a period of years, supported hr
a sound tax structure.”
These suggestions and comments are
made, Mr. Eichelberger infers, as a result of
a like move when he served as mayor of
Clinton. He states that the city council and
mayor worked closely with the advice and
help of the advisory committee and "adopt
ed a sound budget with a monthly operating
statement as a control over the budget. To
day, the financial position of Clinton is in
excellent condition, with our bonds having a
‘A’ rating.”
Mr. Eichelberger's position is well taken,
The Chronicle thinks. If the plan worked
well with one political subdivision it will
work equally well with another.
We are sure there are a number of out
standing business men in the county who
will be more than willing to give their time
and constructive thought and ability in help
ing to solve the problems that face our coun
ty government and administration.
And, like Mr. Eichelberger. we feel that
members of the delegation solicit aid of citi
zens generally. Such aio will be doubly more
effective, we think, if presented by a duly
constituted and organized group such as is
suggested.
We are glad to give the letter prominence
and endorse the suggestions made by Mr.
Eichelberger.
Clinton-Laurens Road
To Get Attention
According to a news story appearing jn
The Chronicle today, "wheels have l*een put
in motion for the relocation and construc
tion of a new Laurens-Clinton highway.”
W’hile the road does not carry the volume
of traffic formerly traveling the route prior
to the opening of the four-lane Greenville-
Qinton artery, nevertheless it still serves
as an important local road. Its continued
wide use is apparent to anyone who travels
the route with any degree of frequency.
Senator King Dixon, in making the an
nouncement, said a team of engineers from
the State Highway Department will be in
the county next week to start preliminary
surveys.
While we don’t know how much relocation
of the highway will be necessary, at least
the elimination of some of the numerous
curves will contribute to safer driving. The
stretch is one of the oldest paved roads in
the state and, from an engineering stand
point, leaves much to be desired.
Looking into the future, it is well that a
modem highway to serve the two cities be
provided now to accommodate the develop
ment that is sure to come along both sides
of the route. The eight miles between Clin
ton and Laurens will become an important
sector in years to come.
And—maybe the State Highway Depart
ment has in mind an entirely new road.
Khrushchev’s Pony Express
Soviet boss Nikita Khrushcb»?v has ad
vised the 209,000,000 Russians occupying
the largest area in the world to eat horse-
meat and ease the food shortages troubling
the USSR.
In the same breath, Khrushy pulled out
the same old propaganda line that by 1970 :
Russia will surpass the U. S. economically— i
that the Soviet Union wdll give its people a |
higher standard of living than any nation
in history has yet achieved.
The Communist l>o»s had a few choice
words for horsemeat: "This meat is very-
fat. The meat is very nourishing and has
many calories and is very cheap. That is
why w - e have to develop production of this
meat
Now there’s « nifty smoke-screen for you!
What Khrushy failed to say was that his
economic experts have yet to sylve.lhe prob
lem of coming up with an adequate, normal
food supply.
Are the people of the West going to be j
fooled by the double-talk of a leader who;
can’t even feed his people properly? In the
USSR, approximately half of the lal>or force
are agrarian workers—and now they’re go
ing to concentrate on developing horsemeat.
By contrast, the USA produces more than
enough substantial foodstuffs with al>out 7
jht cent of its working population.
Horsemeat may l»e hors d’oeuvres to Mr.
K, but we aren’t buying any of same. And
the Khnishevites are never going to catch
HORSEFEATHERS
us!
Clemson extension agronomist
Hugh A. Woodle says yer—Most
corn growers have been con
vinced as to just how high to go
in applying high rates.
C. A. Pinckney and his son,
John Pinckney, of Bluffton, in
Beaufort County, have a demon
stration currently underway to
see whether 1,000 pounds, 1,500
pounds, or 2,000 pounds is the
most profitable level.
If I can learn of the final re
sults, I'll pass them along to you

Farm and Home Week at Clem
son this year has been scheduled
for August 14-18. T. W. "Morgan,
the general chairman, says that
an outstanding program has been
arranged You’ll hear more of the
details as the date approaches.
But you may need to start mak-
' ing plans now It’s not easy to get
away from the farm for more
| than a day without making some
arrangements
Public Records
B«t*r W.
From Farm Journal: ‘The U. S. govern
ment has lived within its income just six
times in the last 30 years! It faces another
deficit in 1962—of perhaps $6 billion. It
owes $290 billion, which is more than $1,600
for every man, woman and child in the coun
try.
Babson Says Investors
Should Study History
Babson Park, Mass , July 13—In addition to
my beloved father and mother there are four out
standing iieople who have guided my life. These
are Joan of Arc of France, Sir Isaac Newton of
England, Isabel Babson of Gloucester, Mass , and
Cecil John Rhodes of South Africa
JOAN OF ARC THF. UNEXPECTED
In the center of the public square, facing the
home where I spent fifteen youthful years, is a
life size statue of Joan of Arc riding a horse and
holding a sword The statue was chiseled by the
famous sculptress, Mrs Anna Hyatt Huntington
Joan of Arc not only has inspired me with cou
rage; but has taught me to expect the unexpected
Her life shows how an unknown
| eighteen-year-old girl can change
the lortunes of two entire nations
One year France was in suprem
acy and all English fortunes wrrci
at a very low ebb, then in a few
weeks the picture completely
changed -Engl,and became' pow-1
erful and wealthy—despite the
wicked trickery of the English
who caught Joan of Arc with a
flag of truce and burnt her at the
stake
SIR ISAAC NEWTON AND ECONOMICS
In the late 17th century, Newton announced
to the world his Law of Action and Reaction,
later called the "Business Cycle.’’ Isaac Newton
- unlike President Kennedy and his advisers—
stated that periods of unemployment and suffer
ing were caused by previous excesses of econom
ic activity, waste, and luxury. In fact, Sir Isaac
Newton s teachings were the foundation of my
business.
We now have the third largest Newtonia col
lection in the world His actual library was
brought by Mrs Grace K Babson from Ixmdon
and built into the Newton Library at the Babson
Institute My forecasts today are based upon
the teachings of Sir Isaac Newton who—in a way
—founded Babson‘s Reports.
ISABEL BABSON OF CAPE ANN
Early in the 17th century a wonderful woman
and her young son, James, left London in a sail
ing vessel for a six weeks trip across the Atlan
tic Ocean to Salem. Mass From Salem they
came to Cape Ann, where Isabel became physi
cian, midwife, and pre-natal nurse to the sixty
families then living on Cape Ann From her son,
James, all Bubsons in America are believed to
have descended April of this year marked the
300th anniversary of Isabel's death A small Pre-
Natal College is being started In her memory. It
will be located at 68 Main
Mass., where she had her
hospital and became known
Babson."
The fourth character who greatly influenced
my life was Cecil Rhodes of Ixindon who. broken
down with tuberculosis, boarded a sailing vessel
to South Africa Since I have also been so afflict
ed. Cecil Rhodes is one of my “saints " He be
came the bold developer of Rhodesia and Africa's
greatest statesman and financier—working to
ward the Congo about which we hear so much
today. He died in 180S at the age of 49. 1 visited
his grave in Africa. His dying words were; "So
much to do, so little time in which to do it.” He
said this after devedoplng the diamond and gold
mines of Africa and leaving all his great wealth
to international education.
ANCESTRY STUDIES ABE GOOD HOBBIES
The study of ancestry has been a hobby of mine
and 1 recomend it to other businessmen as a
change from collecting stamps and similar means
of keeping one’s miud employed Studying an
cestry is a most fascinating and surprising avo
cation Furthermore, it means we are collecting
new and permanent data which can be bequeath
ed to our heirs. All such work which we do is
cumulative and can be carried on further by oth
ers after our death

Does your sweet corn have
wormy ends?
The corn earworm is the chief
culprit He usually starts out by
eating on the central corn shoot
From there he moves to the tas
sels or to the young silks on the
developing ear Next, he will eat
his way right down into the fresh
young kernels
If you don't like to cut off and
discard half of the beautifully
formed ear, you might try this
method of controlling the worm,
suggested by W. (’. Nettles, Clem
son extension entomologist:
Mix one third pint of 25 per cent
DDT amulsifiable concentrate
and one-third pint of light min
eral oil with enough water to
give one gallon Spray this ma
terial on the silks the first day
they appear Then make two
more applications at three-day in
tervals You should then have
worm-free corn
To make 25 gallons of the
spray, use 1 gallon of DDT and
1 gallon of mineral oil to enough
water to give 25 gallons. Just as
a precaution, remember that DDT
is poisonous. Handle it with care
and follow the directions on the
label

"Trained people are the great
est resource '’
Clemson’s O. W Floyd, exten
sion rural development special
ist, says organized rural com
munity organizations should
make a contribution to the econo
my of the communities and coun
ties But the development of any
resource-may be limited if enough
trained people aren’t available.
For this reason, he has urged
the clubs not only .to take part in
the actual training, but also to
support existing institutions
which teach useful skills
This realistic approach to fuller
economic development may be
successful only if the clubs set
up definite and specific goals—in
cluding the training of local lead
ers who must initiate the pro
grams. he says.
Barnwell county already has an
ambitious program underway un
der the leadership of Joe Wilder,
chairman, and County Agent
John R Griffith, secretary.
Sub-committees with Chairmen
H A Dicks, Norman Bates, Mrs
H I Mazursky, Mrs Coker Wil
liams, Solomon Blatt, and Tom
Jackson, are working up pro
grams on education, adult educa
tion, industrial training, health,
and home improvement, which
are to be offered on a community
and county basis.
Other counties have similar
programs underway
The state's 300 organized com
munities operate under rules that
are entirely democratic (n nature.
They elect their own office , 's and
outline their own programs.
Many of them are keenly aware
of the opportunities for devel
oping local resources. But ac
tually developing a workable pro
gram is another thing Perhaps
Mr. Lloyd’s statement will sug
gest one place to start.

With cotton lay-by time ap
proaching, this reminder from M.
C. McKenzie, Clemson extension
agricultural engineer, makes its
point.
Much of our cotton is classed
"grassy" at ginning time. This
means that farmers who have
grassy cotton will likely have
their returns cut by as much as
ten dollars a bale.
Besides, grassy cotton has been
a deterrent to mechanical pick
ing—and more of our cotton ii
now being picked mechanically
Here is a way three farmers lick
ed the late-grass problem last
year:
Henry Everette and Charles
Plowden, of Summerville, and
Leroy Epps, Jr; fo Greeleyville,
used chemical control methods
at lay-by time They used modi
fied weed control equipment with
flood type nozzles adjusted to
give coverage to the entire "mid
dle” without wetting the cotton
foliage.
The method worked well.
The mixture used consisted of
1 pound an acre Carmex, D W
(a wethable powder) in 25 gallons
of water.

Allendale Grain and Storage
Company of Allendale, is building
storage facilities for an addition
al 250.000 bushels of soybeans.
The increase will bring their
storage facilities to 600,000 bush
els, according to W H Funchess,
Clemson county agent.
The addition is a response to the
astounding increase in soybean
acreage in South Carolina I do
not know of a single county that
is not increasing soybean pro
duction this year. Well, perhaps
there is one County Agent O. W
Cain of Calhoun County told me
last week they were unable to in
crease—they Just didn't have any
more unused acres to plant
