o
The young: tobacco crop is worse than a new-born babe when
it comes to requiring attention.
o
What one man will throw away as entirely useless another will
pick up and make much out of. It is a difference in the men.
o
The good tobacco land of Horry County is all in a class by it
, self. It is making a good weapon against the boll weevils.
Success means rolling stones up hill instead of down.
o
A little made here and a little made there is what adds up the
sum total of the success of any farmer. He cannot depend on
any one thing to bring him through.
o
The planters of this county do the best when they take advantage
of all there is to be had in the way of producing bigger
and better crops and as great a variety as they can..
o
Most farmers do not regard it as good practice to strip fodder
$s their fathers did before them. It is better to raise provender
some other way.
o
Amusement is all right when taken in the right way. Carried
too far it becomes a menace to good morals. There are extremes
in this as in other things for everybody to avoid.
o
It is true that the rain falls on the just and on the unjust alike.
The difference comes in the use of the rain by the two classes

and take in the profits before the work is done on the job. It
usually brings disappointment.
o
Ambition should go far enough to make every man want to
improve the work which he undertakes. Nothing short of the
best that is in him should be the aim of every worker, no
matter what kind of work he is engaged in just so it is useful
and good.
o
The man who can do us the most good in Legislative Halls is
the man who knows the most about what we need. A Legislator
should be a man who is keeping up with things as they are and
ought to be, and who has studied the situation and kept, up with
it from the standpoint of the masses.
o ~
The revival meetings held in this section ought to come oftene1
than they do, and they would if the people had the time to de
vote to them. These meetings have a powerful influence in
turning the people away from the things that are bad and starting
them along the highway of good works.

| TURNING GRASS INTO MONEY ?
.According to an editorial contained in oni cr the papers published
in this State, last v. eek, grass means wealth anr. ?h3 people
have not yet fully realized the fact.
At first it is hard for a farmer to see how grass can mean
wealth for grass is the bane of the cotton, grain and tobacco
fields, from the time that the young plants come through the soil
to the time when the crops are laid by in June. On account of
th# grass and weeds that have been springing up all over the
"face of the PArth ainntx * '
? _ - xiviaiu o nme, iarmers nave had to
keep on the. move from morning until night in order to keep the
grass and weeds cleared out and let the good plants grow.
It was in another sense that the editor was speaking when he
said that grass means wealth. He had in mind the turning of
this grass into money by means of hogs, chickens, horses and
cattle?live stock with which grass can be made a l)ig producer
of wealth on the farm.
In this sense it is true that there is "wealth in grass. With it
farmers may raise their beef and bacon cheaply and by the aid
of some of the cereals to finish up the job they can make
good money out of the grass. This is especially important in
view of the coming of the weevils into this section of the
State. Some planters make plenty of money to keep up a good
bank account by planting and selling tobacco and on many farms
there is not much thought taken of the weevils. Why should
they worry when they do not wish and do not need to plant cot
THE HORRY HERALD, CONWAY, S, C. MAY 10, 1923
i ton as a money crop ? But no matter how touch money a farmer
can make out of his tobacco crop, no matter if he never has to
plant another hill of cotton, he wants to make money out of the
stock that he can raise on his farm. His hogs and cattle will increase
apd grow while he is asleep. In this there is truly a way
to turn grass into money.
Free grass ha snothing to do with this matter. It has
been tried and found wanting. Although it seemed to .be a
great thing that every man might let his cattle and his hogs
wander out at large and eat any man's grass they came to, yei
this plan, after being tried for long years in this county, was
found wanting in that it let the farmers raise stock without
looking after them, and hence it was stock that nobody wanted
even after it was raised. They could not make any headway at
the free grass plan, and so the Legislature, after a hard fight,
made the general stock law apply all over the State of South
Carolina. The stock law, as a State-wide proposition has now
been tried out for two or three years and It is found to be better.

it takes to produce fine stock. He can keep them away from
other stock that is not the right quality, and in, this way the
breed is constantly being improved.
For grass to mean wealth it must be grass that is planted in
the field. It must be planted like any other crop and used for
the fattening of the hogs and the chickens and the cattle. The
kind that grows naturally in the woods is alright for pasture
uses when the stock is having an off day, but it does not do the
work when the finishing time comes to make the stock ready for
the market.

NAVY CUTS WAGES
On the heels of statements by Secretary Hoover of the Department
of Commerce and Secretary Davis of the Department of
l abor that "prosperity" had at last returned, thousands of mechanics
employed under the Secretary of the Navy, another of
President Itarding's official family, have suffered a considerable
reduction in their wages. The officials of the several laboi
unions to which these employes belong are complaining against
the decrease in yvages at a time when prices of all commodities
are kiting skyward.
About 2,800 men working in the Navy Yard in Washington, D.
C., are affected by the order, which was issued following the
submission of a report to Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt
by the Wage Board of the Nav> Department and its approval
by him. Decreases have been made in the wages of six
glasses of mechanics. The pay of those in three classes has
been raised and the wages of the other classes remain stationary.
The cost of living in Washington is higher than that of almostany
other city in which navv vards are oneratpH. Tha now cr?aio
^ v ? X ? - ? V/ ??VTV WVMIV |
means a decrease in pay for practically all of the employes of the |
Washington Navy Yard, since it either diminishes their wages
outright or compels them to work for their old hourly rates
while food, clothing, fuel, rents, and everything they use is
growing dearer.
o
HONEST MEN
An Alaskan Indian was arrested for murder. His captor started
with him upon a wearisome journey over snow, which stretched
several hundred miles of waste between him and jail. During
the journey the captor fell ill; so ill that he was helpless. Whereupon
the Indian dragged him the remaining hundred miles to his
safety and his imprisonment, or perhaps, death.
A short time ago an American Indian, under sentence ot'
leath, got a stay of execution that he might arrange his affairs
and harvest his crops- for his family. At the end of the reprieve
le voluntarily showed up for execution.
Nor are these instances unique; there are many such.?Selected.

STOPS FARM BUILDING
Farmers in the middle West have abandoned all their plans
for building and improvements this spring owing to the exorbitant
prices of materials of all kinds, according to a dispatch published
in the Business Section of the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There have been increases in the price of hardware of all kinds
and further advances are in prospect. Hardware Age, a trade
publication, reports a rise of 10 per cent in braces, tool handles
and rules. "Rumors are heard concerning similar advances in
>ther mechanics' tools," says the Hardware Age.
o
MAKING COSTLY WORK
One of the most expensive things this county is now having to
do is the suppression of illicit traffic in whiskey. The people who
un stills contrary to law are making the burden of taxation
leavier and heavier as it takes more and more to pay the ex>ense
of hunting them; and while they are making taxes higher

HE WHO STARTS LATE
The man who comes out behind in the race for a living is often
the man who started late. While others were at the task he
>vas taking a little more time for sleep. He wanted to take in a
little more pleasure before beginning his hard work. It is the
*ame in the raising of crops on the farm. Some of the planters
)ut off until too late the doing of things that ought to be done
promptly for their own interest.
o
MAKING LICKS EFFECTIVE
When a man starts to cut down a big tree he wants to go at
the job with a good sharp axe.' Just so a man must use his brain
in any undertaking so as to make his licks at the job count the
most while he is at it: The use of both hand and brain is needed
to make progress.

MAKE THE HOGS
SOME COMFORT
Clemson College.?"When the hot
summer months come, hops must have
an opportunity to make themselves
comfortable, otherwise they may reduce
rather than gain. The clay on
which this is written is a very hot day
and I have just returned from the forage
lots. Some of these lots did not
have sufficient shade and water. Two
| of the alrge sows were at the point of
heat prostration. They would have
diec! in 20 minutes had the herdsman
not gotten them into a cool place and
turned the water on them." So says
Prof. L. V. Starkey, Chief of the Animal
Husbandry Division, in discussin;
hog comfort.
When hogs are suffering from heat
prostration, water and shade are the
best antidotes. Water may be dashed
on the entire body but it is most effective
when poured on the head.

Some people seem to think that if
hogs live through the summer, that is
all that is necessary. But it i^ not sufficient
for a hog to live; it must make
economical gains. Hogs suffering; fiom
heat will not nvike cheap gains, und
this loss is invariably paid lor with
feed.
The natural shades and ?he fresh
clear water streams are probably the
most satisfactory, especially if the expense
of installing a water system is
taken into consideration. A
During the hot monhs it is fine if V.
some pprmanent pasture is available
because the permanent pastures are
usually well watered and have abundance
of shade.

that the man who makes a busi |<

ALFALFA SUCCEEDS UNDER
WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS
Alfalfa is one of the leading forage
crops in this country; says the United
States Department of Agriculture. It
is also widely distributed throughout
the world, growing in various soils
and meeting the rigors of both heat
and cold. It requires considerable
moisture, but it does best in a rela,
tively dry atmosphere where water
i is available for irrigation. In the United
States it succeeds at altitudes ranging
from below sea level in the Imperial
Valley, Calif., to 8,000 feet
above sea level in'the mountains of
Colorado.
Alfalfa withstands hot weather well

the damage is done by very cold
weather in winter and spring* It is not
known to what extent cold alone does
damage to the crop, but it is known
that low temperatures combined with
other winter conditions cause a high
mortality among: the plants. Alternate
freezing and thawing on poorly drained
soils often does much damage by *
leaving the plants out of the ground ^4.
and breaking the roots.
Deep loams with open teubsoils are
best, but where other conditions are
favorable the crop has a very wide
range of adaption. It does not thrive
on a soil that has an impervious subsoil,
hardpan, or bedrock near the surface.
However, it has been known to
do well on soils with limestone ledges j
18 inches below the surface. Good sur- J
face and underdrainage are necessary. *
During the growing season complete
submergence for 24 to 48 hours may
do much injury, but when the plants
are dormant they may remain under
water several days without danger.
The crop seldom succeeds where the
water table comes close to the surface, ^
especially if it fluctuates considerably.
