THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., August 1, 196H—15 FARMS and FOLKS By L. C. HAMILTON Clemson University Extension Information Specialist CROSSWORD By A. (.. Cordon It rained this year on Thurs day night, the night for the 4-H candle-lighting service in Clem- son’s Memorial Stadium. If it hadn’t nearly 800 young sters would have again staged their service with their flick ering flames piercing the dark ness. It’s a sight that can send shivers chasing up the back, be cause of what it represents. It’s a show the builders of Frank Howard’s “Death Valley’’ pro bably never envisioned when they laid out a football field. It’s a wholesome demonstration that helps balance the books on all the more notorious ones flashing across the country’s news pages in recent years. The candle-lighting is symbo lic of the 4-H program. Anytime the cynics and the SERVICE RECORD — Tensie Young will be hon ored this August 9th for 25 years of service with Southern Bell Tel ephone Company. She has a perfect attendance record, having missed only 3 days in entire 26 years. Tensie has 4 sons and 3 daughters and at tends the Hebron Bap tist Church. Metal Studded Tires Allowed South Carolina has joined the majority of other states in per mitting use i' metal studded “ice tires’, according to the State Highway Department. Legislation was passed by the 1968 General Assembly legali zing use of studded tires. By allowing use of these special tires, South Carolina will give a boost to residents of the north ern counties especially, who often have to travel on snow and ice during winter months. The legislation specifies that appoved studded tires must be fitted with metal studs which pro trude no more than one- sixteenth-of-an-inch beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire when compressed. Patterson Aboard Storekeeper First Class William M. Patterson, USN, 31, son of Mrs. Irene Patterson of 519 Musgrove St., Clinton, and husband of Mrs. Ruby M. Patter son of 930 American Gold Star Homes, Long Beach, Calif., is serving aboard the nuclear- powered guided missile cruiser USS Long Beach in the Gulf of Tonkin. As a crewmember he plays an important role in helping to main tain Long Beach’s effectiveness as a PIRAZ station ship. PIRAZ is Positive Identifica tion Radar Advisory Zone and maintains surveillance of all air craft, enemy and allied, flying over the Gulf or North Vietnam. At Shaw Master Sergeant Ray D. Ridge way, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Ridgeway, Rt. 1, Ware Shoals, S.C., has arrived for duty at Shaw AFB, S. C. Sergeant Ridgeway, an aircraft electrician, is assigned to a unit of the Tactical Air Command. He previously served at Pleiku AB, Vietnam. The sergeant, a 1950 graduate of Hickory Tavern High School in Gray Court, served during the Korean War. His wife, the former Bobbie P. Caldwell, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Caldwell, Rt. 3, Clinton. skeptics want a fresh new look at the youth of the country, they might visit the Clemson Univer sity campus during the annual State Conference. This is the week the bright eyed boys and girls, the achievers, the do’ers, the youth with direction and drive, come to Clemson. During the rest of the year they’re scattered over the 46 counties of the state working on their projects --everythingfrom raising poultry to learning how to handle a tractor for the boys. The girls may be learning to make their own clothing, out in the kitchen stirringandsamplingtheir favorite food, or in one of 25 other projects. Then, when they come together at Clemson for the big week, the years of preparation and the guidance they get from County Fxtension offices are reflected in activities here. Take Billy Brice, 17-year-old Sumter County youth. He was win ner of the tractor operator’scon- test this year. Billy didn’t learn to wheel that big machine so ex pertly overnight. “ He’s completed five years of 4-H tractor pro jects and spends some 300 hours a year in operating farm equip ment,” says a 4-H leader. A Greenville County quartet of Thomas Larry Sloan, Joe Mc- Keowen, Henry Leeke and John D. Hopkins won the soil judging contest. This takes a little more than walking over a piece 'if ground and giving it a casual look. The youthful contestants have to determine the land class and sub class of a field by con sidering: surface texture, sub soil permeability, depth, surface and subsoil, slope, erosion, and drainage. “Then,” says Extension con servationist Dr. L. R. Allen, “with a set of conditions which we outline, we ask them to take the class, sub class, and the con ditions, and select from a list 38 possible uses the appropriate practices which should lie utiliz ed on this land. ” Another of the 4-H project areas is preparation of peach dishes. During the Conference, Annette Rankin of Abbeville won a blue ribbon with peach pudding. Miriam Hasty of Kershaw did the same with peach pie; and Phylis Oxyner of Saluda put together a tasty frozen peach jam. Young Rosa Cook of York county, sweating over a charcoal grill, served a tempting barbe cue chicken to win state honors in this field. Other 4-H girls modeled cloth ing they had designed and made. And there were 20 or more additional categories and activi ties, including competition in poultry judging, rifle team, dairy field, public speaking, coopera tive demonstration, and dairy foods. In each of them, the team or the individual taking part repre sented a county winner, a boy or girl who had won out at the coun ty level and advanced to the state conference only after showing achievement at home. This is why the sight of those hundreds of candles flickering in the night can send the shivers. You know it represents the per formance of the past and pro mise of the future. 1 t, 1 1 I 2 I ♦ \ l H O A S M« <1 i urn To c * i til y .... o1 Man loliy 1 < • I’i i v > i .in J.ort \ l t k< I ( i IM*m . ) 11 u y v I « 1 1• t m.i n i um ( < h< m . ) i to nation tai l . ) I' i intei ' >»>.) 3 2 ^7 I ha t i ( I a t 1 II Mai.

Roman 51 Apply Lime Now For Higher Yields BY M. L. OUTZ County Agent Lime should lie applied now for higher crop yields of 1969. Lime is very important to grasses and legumes that may be sown this fall also. Many farmers tell me they were not able to get their needs supplied last spring. The dealer may have a slack period right now and glad to get the job. The proper way to do however is to have your soil tested. This is a very simple process. A sam ple should be taken 3 or 4 inches under the soil surface. About a pint will do. Repeat this at sev eral different locations mixing it all together. Bringone pint of this mixture to the Agricultural Building and we will box it up and send it to Clemson. Now is an especially good time to check those fields that will go to soy beans next year. If you haven’t checked your farm or garden, now is the time. The A.S.C.S. office has an nounced a second sign up period for farmers who would like assistance in liming or seeding fall pasture grasses and legumes. If you haven’t been by to get your sh^re, you had better not delay. Be sure to get your lime needs filled. Two of Laurens Countys most important dairy herds will be dispersed during August. The L. F. Davis Estate is selling everything except the land and homeplace. This includes all equipment along with the cattle. The Davis herd is one of the highest bred herds in the coun ty. Mr. Davis had his herd arti ficially bred to the best sires available for many years. The sale will be August 3rd. White Plains is also selling the dairy herd. This herd is nationally known. It lias some of the top animals of the breed. Ap proximately 150 animals will be sold. The sale is August 13. There herds will be missed greatly. We wish the owners and managers the very best for the future. The State Poultry Association is having its annual meeting at the Sandhill Experiment Station near Columbia, Wednesday, Aug ust 14. The program will begin at 10 a.m. and lie concluded by 4 p.m. Ttie morning session will te devoted to business, including financial report, reports from the State Diagnostic Laboratory and Clemson University, the State Department of Agriculture.
