FARMS and FOLKS
By L. C. HAMILTON
Cfemaon College Extension Information Specialist
You put a farm together with
dreams and sweat. If' you’re
successful, you achieve a busi
ness entity which has economic
possibilities beyond the lifetime
of the man who first dreamed
it and labored for it.
The late Ashton Head of Aiken
county acquired an 800-acre
farm by purchasing, during his
lifetime, 8 or 10 tracts adjoining
his father’s place. Often these
purchases were made at great
sacrifice, but he lived to consoli
date his acreage, plant and man
age it well, gnd to become one
of the outstanding farmers and
farm leaders of his county.
Although we have the right to
transfer our property, at death,
to whomever we wish (within the
law), we cannot say with any
degree of certainty that the farm
will not be broken up «nd de
stroyed as a business entity aft
er the owner’s death.
To this particular point, Ash
ton H&ad gave a great deal of
thought. He reasoned that he
could not, during his lifetime,
hope to gain returns sufficient to
pay for his efforts. He, there
fore, began to make plans
which would mire nearly assure
that the farm would remain op
erational after his death.
Head began to tell his plan to
his wife and daughters Louise
and Virginia. After his death his
wife would be provided with a
house and income for comfort
able living. Mrs. Head would
have the income from the farm
during her lifetime. At her
death, the farm would be divided
between the two daughters.
Louise married Joe Babb, a
Virginia businessman, and mov.
ed to Orangeburg. Mr. Head
died in 1968. Mrs. Head died
three years later.
At this point it may seem that
Mr. Head’s dreams for trans
ferring an operational farm to
his two daughters may have
been shattered. But Ashton
Head had planned well.
Joe Babb and Robert Holley,
the two sons-in-law, had been
carrier over the farm many
times by Mr. Head — before his
death. They were as thoroughly
briefed on Mr. Head’s plans as
were his daughters.
“If you will be good to the
land,’’ Head told them, “the land
will be good to you.’’
Apparently they believed it.
Joe Babb and his wife, formerly
Louise Head, have moved from
Virginia to Aiken. Although
Babb has acquired other busi
ness interests in Aiken, he told
me this week the main reason
for coming to South Carolina
was the farm.
Robert Holley and his wife Vir
ginia are still living in Orange
burg, but they are preparing
their half of the farm fof opera
tional farming again. Most of
their week-ends are spent on the
Aiken place.
Until the Holleys and Babbs
get their 400-acre farms ready
for farming again, the land is
“resting” in soil conserving
corps and pine trees.
W. A. Beasley, associate coun
ty agent, says the land, is a
soil bank contract, will be re
leased in about 4 years. Equip
ment already on the place is
being cared for and new equip
ment is being acquired.
Pretty soon the old Head place
will be bussing again under the
management of Ashton Head’s
decendants and their families. It
is an example of orderly trans
fer of farm property from the
owner to his heirs.
In addition to making a .will.
Head communicated his desires
to his children and their hus
bands. Both the will and the
communication were important
to the success of the transfer.
If you wish to transfer an oper
ational farm to your heirs after
your death, you will be helped
by getting the little pamphlet,
“What Wi(l Happen To Your Pro
perty,” Information Leaflet No.
1, available at county agents’
offices.

withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and
down and prayed, “Fatter, if ttoa are willing,
remove this cnp from me; nevertheless not my will bat
thine, be done.” And there appeared to him an angel
from heaven, strengthening him. (Lake 22:41-43.
AST)
A young couple lost their only son who was afflicted with an
Inoperable tumor of the brain. They, and countless friends near
and far, had prayed for his healing. The parents believed that God
would restore the boy to health. But, relentlessly, death came at
last.
So great was their faith that the sorrowing parents did not lose
heart. They were able to accept their son’s going as in keeping
with God’s permissive will. They were thankful that, though phy
sical healing was impossible,, spiritual healing had come to their
son and them. They believed that God in granting them peace,
was carrying much of their load of grief.
PRAYER
Oar Fatter, grant Thy peace this day to Thy children
otto hie sick of sorrowing. Let them feel Thee near,
remembering that In Jesus, Thy Son, Thoa hast experi
enced haman suffering. Help them to relax by patting
their trust in Thee and so find Thy strength and Joy.
In J<
day and saw this illustrated.
Evidently there was an under
standing mother in the house.
The children had improvised a
sort of tent house made from
chairs, lumber, and a couple of
bed sheets. They were having
a wonderful time together with
this simple equipment. On the
yard, neglected, were one or two
new bicycles and other manu
factured toys.
I have a grandson who would
much prefer to play with a pair
of pliers, screwdriver, and a
hammer than with a whole room
of mechanical toys. His father
is a creative exponent of “do-it-
yourself” skills. He maintains
the equipment in his 7 own home,
much of which he constructs
himself. His little son follows
his father about, asking and imi
tating. - His father encourages
him.
There appears to be marked
growth in the “doit-yourself”
plan among our young married
couples. I was amazed when
going into a large store the other
day to find how many “do-it-
yourself” kits were available. I
have seen them all the way from
kits for use in wall-papering a
room to kits for making a hi-fi
set or even an electronic organ.
Fathers who allow their sons
to be with them in these do-it-
yourself projects are not likely
to have their children involved in
acts of vandalism when they
come into the teen-age.
Many a'“mother could profit
ably take her small daughter in
the kitchen and let her help with
some cooking of her own. It
might mess up the kitchen, bat a
messed up kitchen is better than
a messed up life later.
Parents, teach your children
to be creative in their actions
and positive in their thinking.
By precept and ^example, teach
your children to speak kindly of

By Bishop Herbert Bpoagh
Vandalism, evil gossip, and de
structive criticism are the pro
duct of an empty and idle mind.
There is an old saying whihe
sums this up, “An idle mind la
the devil’s workshop.”
These habits start in childhood.
It is a wise parent who when
correcting a child instead of say
ing “don’t do this,” suggests a
different and productive course
of Action.
The small child is naturally in
quisitive. He wants to explore
himself and his surroundings. He
asks questions. Telling him, “Do
not do that” is poor practice. He
should be encouraged and guid
ed in his explorations. Unfor
tunately, too many parents are
not willing to take th time re
quired to guit children. Children
early express creative instincts.
If they are taught and encourag
ed in creative tasks, they ac
quire habits of building up and
are not likely to resort to tear
ing down. ^
Watch children play. They
quickly tire of ready-made toys,
but will play for hours with
simple things with which they
can construct something of their
own. I passed a home the other
