HAMILTON Clemson College Extension Information Specialist Turn under plant residue or let which speed the ’burning out’ of it waste away? Ask the question about the value of organic matter in gard ening and farming and you get a difference of opinion from lay men;- one person may think or ganic matter should be built up or you’re a bad boy; the other says it’s too costly, so why bother (use chemical fertilisers instead). Somewhere between these schools of thought there must be an answer. So with a flag of truce, we’re going out to find out. Vegetable gardeners the world over are perhaps the staunchiest advocates of organic matter. And farmers who don’t use OM for their entire acreage do get around to plowing it into their garden. However, only a limited num ber of farmers we know practice brganic farming with anything like the zeal. some advocates would have. There must be a reason. We’ve asked L. P. Anderson, Clemson extension agronomist, and C. E. Bardsley, professor of agronomy and soils at Cfanson, why South Carolina farmers don’t fall over themselves to Join the OM movement. “We live in a high rainfall-high temperature-region,” Anderson says. * “These are conditions organic matter. And they are not the conditions you find in the North, for instance, where low er (emperatures and frozen soil (for many months) cause OM to be retained for a longer period in the soil.” Then Anderson and Bardsley chimed in together: “We can only accumulate about 1 to 2 percent organic matter in South Carolina soils.” ^ Because we can’t store up larg er amounts of OM in our soils we can’t store up a nitrogen re serve, said to be one of the main advantages of OM. Having^ Struck this damaging blow against organic matter, An derson and Bardsley changed un iforms and joined the zealous ad vocates of OM. ' “It’s the best soil conditioner we have. And poor physical con-' dition is a characteristic of many South Carolina soils,” Bardsley commented. - “Don’t let plant residue go to waste,‘(-Anderson added. “Turn it under the soil where it can im prove the grain structure and make better tUth.” Organic matter permits an in creased infiltration of water. It also cuts down on surface-evapo ration due. to the sun and wind. Bardsley says: “During some growing seasons in the Southeast, the success or failure of d crop may depend upon the availability of only about 1 inch of water— when water becomes a limiting factor. “In South Carolina, there is a widespread practice of leaving corn, cotton, and sorghum stalks standing through the winter. A much better practice would be to cut the stalks following harvest and allow these to lay on top of the soil. “This will give protection from the beating action of the rain, slow down runoff, and help re charge the soil moisture supply.” From my observation, there isn’t much difference of opinion among scientists about the role of organic matter. We’ll do well to maintain all we’ye got, by all possible means. But South eastern soils do have a low cap ability for storing it^ » • * WOODWORKING LOBBYIST If you’re wondering how to re finish an old piece of furniture, but don’t know the details, you might arrange to see an upcom ing Educational Television show for the answers. _ Miss Lucille Chandler, Clem son extension home furnishings specialist, will cover the subject on a telecast over the ETV net work January 17, beginning at 7:30 p. m. - y- * * * I’ll never do that again! Things like winding up after Christmas with a flat wallet; witlka bank account that’s prac- and little business- t tic ally like envelopes coming in faster than can be returned is for the birds. It’s a good thing this season comes but once a year. How could we stand it more often? But cheer up. We’ve got 12 full months to catch up! But say, isn’t that Christmas time again? My first New Year’s resolution is to start one of those little Christmas savings accounts of fered at the local blank. It*s hard er to get money out of this ac count than savings ket in the tea pot. And I’m going to follow the ad vice of Elizabeth Potter, Clemson extension home management specialist, and shop for credit. I’m also going to watch my in stallment buying like old Scrooge himself. I’m going to tighten up on my pet economies. We'll use razor blades one more time. We’ll curb that impuse to get in the car and go. We’ll plan our trips, recrea tion and purchases. Well make a list. We might not be in this pre dicament if we made more mon ey. So we’ll try to earn more in come next year. We’ll try to do our part to raise average South Carolina family income to the national level of $5,600. South Carolina average. annual income last year was only $3,- 820, third from the bottom among the 50 states. This is undoubtedly related to educational level. Next year we will give moral support to parents and schools in trying to prevent school drop outs. The South Carolina edu cational level for persons over 25 years is the lowest in the United States—8.7 years of schooling completed compared with a na tional average of 10$ years. (This shouldn't be mentioned to people outside the state. But we thought you home folks ought to know.) ..You can see that some of our problems are personal. Some are personal and social! Next year we’re going to len<| our support to organized community chibs which are taking the community approach to raising living stand ards, income, and educational levels. We want to see more com munities like Oakdale in Claren don, Monetta in Aiken, Cooley Springs in Spartantarg, and John T. Burgess in Oftenville. Next Monday night Sre can wash our hamjs of our shortcom ings in 1962. The slate will be clean. And there’s a new 12 months ahead. Whaf better thought is there for starting the New Year?

Passengers climbed wearily down from the vehicle and stretched their legs. They Imme diately vistied the popular foun tain in the Yard and received quid refreshment. Some poured he cooling waters over their hot faces. The Inn of the Fountain was soon widely known. It was lo cated at the edge of what was Indian territory in the mid 1700’s. Soon, quite a settlement was to be seen around The Inn of the Fountain. Later, after Indians were driven northward into the mountain ranges, the settlement became known as Fountain Inn. Today, this is a lovely little community where industry in the Piedmont has grown and provid ed more and more residents and money. Fountain Inn, located al most on the Greenville, Laurens County line, is the only town list ed by that name in the postal directory of the United States. Following our Palmetto Path way along Highway 276—direct route connecting Greenville and western South Carolina' with the capital—we find Fountain Inn a mile or so to the east of the route. still provides a stopping place 'for travelers making the long rek across the state. This town was almost directly on the historic Indian Boundary Line established in a treaty be tween Governor Glenn of the > rovince of South Carolina and )ld Hop Head, chief of the Chero- tees. The territory covered what s now the area incorporated by Greenville, Anderson and north western counties. During the Revolutionary War, the Cherokees were driven north and westward and the lands of the Piedmont area were thrown open to settlers. Hardy Scotch- [rish descendants traveled down the Great Wagon Road and Ca tawba Path from Virginia to set tle this section of South Carolina. There are many tales linked with Fountain Inn’s early his tory. Some of these recently ap peared in an article by Caroline 5. Coleman for the South Caro lina Magazine. It is noted that the first Post Office of the western territory of the state was established in Fountain Inn in 1832. The Massey family figures strongly in the section’s history It was this family that for gene- rations operated the original “Inn at the Fountain.” A mark er, erected by the United Daugh ters of the Confederacy, appears near the original Fountain Inn. The town has the distinction of having been the home of noted humorist Robert Quillen. Mrs. Quillen continues to reside in the home where the writer pon dered and put together his syn dicated stories. Erected in the yard of the home is a marble marker designated to the mem ory of Mother Eve. Quillen explained the Odd me morial by gravely replying, “She was a relative of mine—on my mother’s side.” People from around the world have viewed this marker and paid homage to the revered humorist May we suggest you, too, visit Fountain Inn and enjoy pictur esqueness of a bygone era ming led with the moderness of tomor- >w.

Ilf do you , DIRECTIONS Public libraries today are filled wiDi “how to do ft" books. From { them we may learn to do almost anything from baking a cake to building a house, from managing a home to conducting a business. But by far the most important are the books which show us how to build our lives. The greatest among these is the Bible, a book which has with* stood the test of centuries. Within it are God’s directions for abun dant living. But it is not easy to put these directions into .practice. We need help. ' We turn to the Church. In the Church we find inspiration through the companionship of others who with us strive for a better life. There, in prayer and worship, we know the blessings of God, the Father. We learn to follow the example of the Christ, and feel tne power of His Spirit who alone enables us to live the abundant life. y" • . * ' - THK CHURCH FOR AUL* ALL.
