' Naming Contest To Feature Week i Clcmson College, June 22.?One of the features of Farmers' Week to be held at Clemson College August 6-10 I will be a plant identification contest conducted by the Agronomy Division. One hundred plants representing crops adapted to South Carolina, as (well as the more commou grasses and weeds found on many fartfts throughout the state, will be used in the contest, which will be open to all farmers in attendance at Farmers' Week, 'states Prof. T. S. Buie, chief of the division. j Prizes consisting of varying amounts of Austrian winter field pea 1 seed will be given those who are able to identify the largest number of the plants. The scientific name will, of 'course, not be required, $o all will have an opportunity of winning one of the many prizes. _ It is hoped that this contest will stimulate interest in the crops adapted to ^outh Carolina and also serve to show something of the many grasses and weeds which are pests on 'many farms. Crows Destroy Young Chicks Crows are brainy birds. They are supppsed to live on carrion as the ma*'jor part of their diet} but don't trust Hhem with, your, young and tender Schick*, admonishes The Dixie Poultry Journal. If you throw dead birds, lit* tie chicks, or adults, out into the open fields the blaok mothers will discover them. They can see a long distance. When they run short on dead bodies they will capture young living c$pfcs and carry them away to their nests. ] Hawks are shyer. They are after the living things. .No carrion for them. .When they dive for a chicken, the fate of that little thing is quickly sealed. .This feathered beast of prey travels through the air like -a bullet. Hang up I bright pieces of tin, lly red streamers 'from poles and lines to frighten the enemies of your chicks. Scarecrows in the form of a human will do much. The more it looks like a well-dressed man, the more effective it will be in frightening the birds away. - Still, maybe your wife would be as wonderful as that one in the movie if she had a- husband as wonderful as that one in the movie.?'Newark Ledger. I - - 1 * ' SHOW DAY IN OLDEN TIMES | Ton Picture That Will Recall Fond MemorieN From the Older Folks | | Somebody on the staff of The Spartanburg Herald, stopped in thu midst of the whirl of the daily grind of ' ttews to soliloquize on older and happier things and wrote this pen1 picture which will be a pleasant reminiscence for many persons noC too young to appreciate it: "Aint got no Jime to lose. I got dem show ground blues." So sang the old plantation negro on the night before "show day" in the years that have passed. . j Progress, wrought by time, has made many changes in the Southern, negroe's way of doing things. Ne-l groes from the farms attending the circus Monday either came to the city in trucks or in automobiles. And, in some qascs, they owned their own cars. Although his mode of traveling is changed from the two horse wagon to that of truck or automobile and the negro no longer has to dress the night before going to a circus, the old African love for the show ground, the red lemonade and "feesh" is still strong. And the colored population I of Spartanburg county turned out en J masse to pay their respects to "Ciip'n Spark's" amusement program. , Old timers will recall the days when negroes living a long way from the show grounds would dress for the occasion the preceding night and start long before dawn. I But it was the return in the two-1 horse wagon the older negroes remembered with so much pleasure. Most of the negro men would sit on an old hay frame on the side of the wagon body, the negro women in i chairs, and the little pickinitiies would sprawl on the floor. Both men and wemett would have had "des a lettle taste" out of a jug "oap'n,"* the man. whose farm they tiHed,had furnished. Everybody wk? happy. The kids wefe sibleep. The white boy, who had cpme along to take care of the team, would sit at the front and occasionally crack his whip. Old Mose with his ever present gui , tar furnished entertainment for the first part of the homeward journey. His favorite songs had to do with the fickleness of some "lady love," the | daring acts of famous criminals, and I any subject to which that he could put a mournful twist. Invariably Mose would sing the old familiar negro song: "I wonder who's serving the wine ( To those beautiful lip* I used to fall mine." For the next mile the guitar and Mose would tell the crowd about "Ivonjf John's last Getaway." And as the wagon swung into the first dark hollow, the whole crowd of negroes would join in the singing. Themes shifted to religion. The negroes believed the singing of sucred songs would ward off "hants." For a half a mile around one could hear & multitude of voices all flinging in unison "Down by de Riverside" uDe New Hurrying Ground" 'ISwing Low Sweet Chariot" and many others. A few hours before morning the wagon would pull up at the' barn and a crowd of negroes, too tired to work for several days, but happy would climb to the ground and begin making plans for "show day" a year later.
