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.

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

financial report, reports from the

Clemson University, the State
Department of Agriculture. Offi
cers will be elected.
A Dutch chicken barbecue din
ner will lie served at noon.
The afternoon session will
cover the outlook for broilers
and eggs, marketing and pro
motion, and legislative matters.
All poultrymen in the state are
invited to attend.
