J Clinton, S. G, Thursday, April 11, 1963 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE y FARMS AND FOLKS By L. C. HAMILTON t' Clemaon College Extension Information Specialist SPRING ROUND-UP The spring round-up of South Carolina cattle is at hand. John Wise, Clemson extension live stock specialist, called my attention to the increased tempo across the wire where farmers are eying their herds with pecul iar interest. Thousands of beef “feedrs” are being selected for sales within the'next few days. Some farmers will negotiate private sales. Oth ers will sell through auction mar kets which are located in almost every county. Four graded feeder sales have been arranged which will diap-K pose of about 3,000 cattle. These sales are scheduled for Florence, March 29; Ehrhardt, April 3; Greenwood, April 4; and Spar tanburg, April 5. r Clemson livestock specialists are cooperating with the cattle associations and sales organiza tions in the graded sales. These cattle are grouped according to breed, sex, weight, and grade be. fore going into the ring. The system is particularly ben eficial to small cattle producers who cannot assemble lots of uni form cattle. Cattle do lose their of el 6, Mothers- There’s No Use Taking Up All This Spoce.

It’s a known fact around cattle markets that the large uniform lots bring the best prices. Last spring’s graded feeder sales brought South Carolina wers $280,000. Similar sales 3 in the fall of 1962 returned cattlemen more than half a mil lion dollars. Although they han dle only a fraction of the total cattle sold, the graded sales were educational value. And education is important in state whose cattle industry is as young as South Carolina’s. * • • YAM GROWERS— AN EXCLUSIVE CLUB Chesterfield County’s 300-Bush. Sweet Potato Club now had six members. Included are James Norwood, Kenneth Sowell, Gene Ousley, and Mack Ousley, Mc- Bee; and Eugene Jordan, Page- land. Kenneth Sox, McBee, joined the club this year with the club’s most outstanding yield to date— 504.6 bushels per acre! * * • » CALVES GAIN THREE STEAKS A DAY If your preferred size of steak is one pound, a group of cattle pt Estill Livestock Yards are put ting on three a day. C. W. Thompson, county agent, Hampton, says the calves weigh ing an average of 482 pounds were put on feed January f. After ys their average weight was 579 pounds—a gain of 3.02 pounds per day! “This gain is for the first 30 days. We will keep weights on them for 90 days,” Thompson said. Object of the test is to find the best feeding ration. • * * COASTAL BERMUDA ROOM STILli UNDERWAY W. A R i d g e w a y, associate county agent, Gaffney, says Coastal Bermuda acreage is like ly to increase agsin this year, judged from the farmers he’s talked with. Similar comments have been matfe in other counties. Coastal’s popularity is still high with farmers. ' • * • MORE COTTON RELEASED Extension and ASCS workers in Aiken County worked so hard getting cotton acreage released to the county committee that the estimate had to be raised from 500 to 1,500 acres. W. A. Beasley, associate coun ty agent, said he hoped'' the final tabulation would show $,000 acres. The released acreage would not have been planted if it had not been released. Now it will be re-allotted to fanners who wil plant it. SPECIAL! HOTPOINT CHEST TYPE FREEZERS 686 Lb. Capacity Only $249.95 Easy Terms » Sales Co.

This is not to say that individual politicians and Presidents did not, from time to time, attempt to cover up some action or make a bad deed appear in a better light. But there was no administration-wide pol icy of delibarte falsehood. The Kennedy * administration represents a new departure in AmericanHpffe, bow*y®.‘It is the first administmtkm that has had one of its h|gn«ft officials pro claim the right to lie. Mind you, this ‘Tight,“ as unders^pd by the Kennedy administration, does not simply cover diMomndc ly ing to enemies, bui lying fo the American people it is sworn to serve. The right to He the record, and nedy has not self from it. It lament is on it Ken- him- was Implicitly placed on record by many offi cials of the New Frontier, but it was directly placed ti*re last fall by Arthur Sylffftfr, Assistant Secretary of Defence, when he first said that ”new9 is a wea pon” in < situations like we found ourselves in with Cupa, and later said that it is the right of a gov ernment to lie to save itself. Such remkrks eroded even more the credibility of Defense Depart ment spokesmen, which was low enough as it was. With this settlement of operat ing action edmitted to, how can the U. 8. public and Congress be lieve what they are tnld by ad ministration spokesmen? The an swer Is that they cannot Hence forth all administration state ments, whether they cover for eign policy or domestic issues, must be held suspect. This 4s a sickening and tragic thing, but an intelligent citizen has no choice but to question what his own government spokesmen tell him. i Now, along comes Arthur Krock, respected veteran colum nist of the New York Times, with an article in the March issue of Fortune Magazine taking the ad ministration severely to task for its “management of the news.” He states that this is being done with a cynicism, boldness and subtlety unparalleled in peace time history, and fttrthr charges that it is a direct affront to Jef fersonian principles of a free press. Since Mr. Krock is a long time personal friend of the Ken nedy family, it can only be be lieved that he places his duty to his profession above his personal feelings This, the dispute between the New Frontier and American con servatives ceases to be merely a political dispute, a controversy over the best ways and means of governing this country The issue between the Kennedy government and those who oppose it is a mo rale issue The truth is at stake —nothing less. Now Mr. Kennedy has had Sec retary of Defense McNamara re. late certain statements concern ing the situation -in Cuba. The secretary’s magic lantern show was quite a production. But can Mr. McNamara’s remarks bp«J>e- lievedf Many citizens areois- counting what has been told about Cuba by Mr. Kennedy £nd his aides. They see in Cuba a new Yalta, with a secret pact be tween the administration and the Soviet leadership—a pact that is implied if not set down in an ex change of diplomatic cable grams. The Cuban deal—and that is the only auitahle word—seems to have been: You take the ballis tic missiles out of Cuba and you can keep the Cubans under your thumb. That’s the net effet of last fall’s crisis over Cuba. In short, Mr. Kennedy has caused the United States to back down from its historic stand against foreign intervention in this hemisphere. He has surren dered the principles of the Mon* roe Doctrine. But he is not tell ing the American people what he admitted to Nikita Khrushchev. bUtrihitiJ (i+mt BOSTON LOS ANGELES LONDON CHICAGO Interesting Accurate Complete Ttw Owftftan Sctencs ManUar On# Norwoy St., iaatan IS, Ma monay ardar.
