JOE'S ESSO SERVICE
A fefkut, says Webster's
Dictionary, is a radical or
"one that believes in or advo
cates principals associated
with the Left." A rightiM,
meanwhile, belongs to a par
ty whoae phUoaophy
and bettete are Jnst the oppo
site.
Both these terms evolved
from a cnatom in use since
the earliest times of always
seattag the honored gnests at
the right hand of the host at
banquets or other formal
gatherings. This, no doubt,
came into practice because It
was in the right hand that
man trusted for strength
when the occasion demanded
physical strength.
Although this was an an
cient custom. It wasn’t until
comparatively recent times
that the terms gained wide
use in descrEMag political
parties.
When the Fngtfsh Parlia
ment finally became the real
governing power of that
country In the eighteenth cen
tury, the two parties —
Whigs and Tories — sat on
opposite sides in the cham
ber. The Tories, who usually
subscribed to the king's polit
ical views and believed in a
strong central government.
sat on the right, in the seats
of honor. The Whigs, who op
posed these fundamental po
litical beliefs of the Tories,
sat on the left. The Tories lat
er became known as the Con
servatives, the Whigs as Lib
erals.
Following the revolt
against Louis XVI in the year
1789, popular elections were
held for the purpose of
reorganizing the government.
In these chaotic times, men
of all sorts of political hues
were elected and sent to
Paris to represent their con
stituency. Again, aU those
who backed the king were
given the seats of honor In
the semicircle on the right of
the presiding officer, with the
seats fartherest to the right
going to the most ardent sup
porters. By the same token.
In opposttlow were as
to the left side of the
and the radicals
most opposed to the
monarchy tried to show It by
taking seats as far to the left
as possible.
In between these two ex
tremes, there is almost al
ways a group known as
"moderates." These have be
come known as the center.

producers will be well re
presented in the Bull Feeding
Test Program at Clemsoo this
Fall. Larry Largert of White
Plains Farm, reports that he
will send ten bulls, George
Wasson will have several, Paul
Owings will send several and
Dell Owens of Carolina Milling
will be represented with Angus.
This is a new program for South
Carolina, and it should give us
some good bulls to go out into
the State as they complete the
testing program. Bulls will be
delivered to Clemson on Sept
ember 1, Feeding Test will be
gin September 15, and the sale
will be on February 24, 197L
I might add that bulls have a
minimum standard which they
must meet in order to go in
on the test They must have a
minimum weight per day of age
of 2.1 lbs at the time of
delivery. They must grade at
least twelve, which is low
choice. Of course, there are
other requirements that the
bulls must meet during the
feeding program. This means
that all herds that are going to
participate must be in the per
formance testing program. Our
scales have been busy the last
week or so in weighing these
cattle and getting them ready
for entry into this Feed Test
ing Program. Anyone who is in
terested can get in touch with
our office, and we will give
further details. It goes without
saying that these are registered
cattle.
Cotton farmers are cautioned
to make every possible effort
to check their cotton fields for
bollworms and weevils. Reports
coming from the eastern part
of the State are that the worm
population is increasing. This
is probably true with our cotton
fields as well. Migration of wee
vils will begin around the 10th
or 15th of August, and we know
what this means.
With the rains, our cotton
has improved, and if we can
continue to get showers we

It up however. Anyone interest
ed in getting a plane to spray

of Lubbock, Texas has moved

He will be operating from Clin

Fairs are coming up in the

different slant to their displays.
I was visiting this week with

boys do a fine Job and take a

Good luck to the Hunter

TIPS FROM CLEMSON
HOME &
OUTDOORS
(EDITOR’S NOTE: Information
in this column is supplied by
Extension specialists and facu
lty members of Clemson Uni
versity. Readers are invited to
submit questions. Address to,
Editor, Home & Outdoors, care
of this newspaper.)
Q. How can I get rid of kudzu-
vine? I bought an expensive
sprayer but it’s so strong I
can’t pump it up. I s there an
easier way? Mrs. C.M.C.,
Liberty
A. Spraying is the only prac
tical approach to control. Eith
er get a smaller sprayer or hire
someone to use what you have.
Try the amine form of 2,4-D,
using two tablespoons per gal
lon of water along with one ta
blespoon of a surfactant or
•'spreader/ Warning: This
herbicide may injure or kill
any shrubs or other desirable
plants that it contacts, except
grass. It should be used only
on a calm day, with extreme
care. Repeat at six-week in
tervals as long as necessary--
probably more than a single
growing season.
Another material, not quite
as potent, is Amino Tr la zone,
marketed under such trade
names as Amitrol, Weedazol,
Amltol or others. Use six ta
blespoons per gallon of water,
mixing In one tablespoon of sur
factant This will not eradicate
Kudzu, but will knock it down,
and the repeate treatments at
six-week intervals should help
keep it under control. For best
results, cover foliage thorough
ly with spray solution. Amino
Triazole should not be used on
cropland or on desirable plants.
It is much safer than 2,4-D, but
normal precautions should be
followed to avoid spray drift.
--Dr. C. N. Nolan, principal
extension specialist, agronomy.
Q. White insects have in
vaded the lillies and the mint.
When touched, they spring, as
if catapulted. What do you sup
pose they are? They weave a
kind of white wed. Mrs. B.C.J.
Greenville
A. We tentatively identify this
as the plant hopper. Please re
fer to page 7, figure 8, and the
description on page 6 of the en
closed Circular 502, Insects and
Diseases of Ornamentals-- How
To Control Them. The Im
mature nymphs can Jump and
adults can fly and jump. We do
not recommend a control, but
Malathion is generall ef
fective.—W.C. Nettles, princi
pal extension specialist, en
tomology and plant pathology.
Q. My boxwoods appear to be
dying. Could it be from putting
pine needles or grass cuttings
around them? A specimen is
enclosed, along with a sample
of dirt-- Mr. B. M. B., Gre
enville
A. The specimen shows a bad
infestation of boxwood leaf min
ers. Cygon usually gives good
control of these insects when
applied according to the label.
The soil sample (bark) you en
close is excellent for a much but
far too coarse to grow plants in.
It will dry out extremely fast.
Pine needles or grass cuttings
should not be harmful unless
used in extreme amounts.-- E.
V. Jones, assistant extension
specialist, horticulture.
Q. Is it possible to can egg
plant? I like it stewed with to
matoes, celery and onions, but
find nothing in the cookbooks a-
bout canning. Mrs. L.A.N., Gre
enville.
A. Eggplant may be used in
canning soup mixture, following
directions for canning a vege
table soup mixture. Processing
time is 60 minutes for pints and
70 minutes for quarts at 10-
pound pressure. The amount of
tomatoes should equal the to
tal amount of other vegetables.
I found the following dlrectioos
for canning eggplant:
Wash, peel, and cut into sli
ces or cubes. Soak for 20 min
utes In a brine. Use one table
spoon of salt to one quart of
water. Drain and steam or cook
in a small quantity of water for
six minutes. Pack hot and cover
with hot water to within one-half
inch of top. Add one teaspoon
of salt to each quart Adjust jar
lids. Process in a pressure can-
ner at 10 pounds pressure, 240
degrees F.; pint Jars 45 min
utes; quart jars 55 minutes.
