Yo ur business will be appreciated. The Southern Cotton Oil Company Of all things! A new racket. Steal ing honey bees. Who’d a thought it? Yes, it was brought out at the recent meeting of South Carolina’s beekeepers in Columbia that hijack ers are operating at places - in the Southeast, stealing bees. They come into a good honey area where there is a lot of bees. They bring a few hives to screen their work. As the honey flow starts they lure bees with sweets into traps that bees can get into but not out of. In this way they catch as many as a thousand pounds of bees in a week. These added to the colonies they have gives then an enormous work ing force just when it is needed to bring in the large honey flow. This thing has given some bee keepers a fit, and South Carolina growers were warned to be on the look-out for it. Judge G. R. Webb of Ka-thwood (Aiken County) was elected pres ident of the South Carolina Beekeep ers’ Association, Rev. Paul Kok of Springfield, vice-president, and W. K. Moore of Sandy Springs (Anderson County) secretary and treasurer. And it is worked with very closely by the veteran bee specialist, E. S. Prevost, of the Clemson Extension service. results, I was told, when there is adeejuate moisture in the ground. Labor saving! Here you have it. Ask any potato grower. Hog growing is getting back in stride in the low-country and mark eting is drifting back through its regular channels again. County Agent Jordan said they were back to 3 to 5 cars a week in Dorchester, and the auction markets are again feel ing a good run of hogs. Feed is short here and elsewhere for all livestock. We have a short grain crop now growing in the fields of the state Early grazing and early corn for mid-summer use are imperatives on the livestock farm, according to A. L. DuRant, Extension Livestock Agent of Florence. And talking about bees, G. .W. Trask and Sons, extensive truck growers of Beaufort, have introduc ed colonies of them into the areas where they are planting cucumbers and squash. Bees cross-pollenate the flowers and a greater production is secured. This applies to many things. Apples for instance. Without bees, we would go hungry for a lot of the things we need. Al though he carries a sting, that is so things won’t bother him in his ap pointed task. For, without him, many plants would likely go from the earth. Mighty important things, those little honey bees. Surely, music his many charms and uses. Saw it being put to a very practi cal use in a large vegetable packing shed on the Coast. Less talking and more work was the result. It comes from a record player mounted over head, out of the -way. That farmer who told me he now lived on Main Street, since his pav ed road came and REA brought him electricity, is sure enough elated since he sees telephone lines being strung down the road towards his place. Evidences of telephone expansion at many places. Specially around Greenwood. W. D. Wilkerson, the progressive telephone manager there, told me they were running rural lines along their highways just as fast as ma terials can be secured. A vast ex pansion in this field is under way there. Farm life growing richer. And how it has grown in recent years! Paved roads, electricity, telephones, mechanization—all in about a de cade. With all of those aids, the farm job is being done, despite less and less labor. Efficient use of a high er class labor—that is the future picture. There are 217 Shealys on R. F. D. No. 2, Leesville. It is a wonder that mail carrier doesn’t go nuts, trying to keep all of that straight. I wanted to see Henry E. Shealy, and was told that there were 3 by that exact name. But when I said, “The one with the fine chickens”, that located him. He and his wife were both at work with the flock. They have 1,400 high quality Barred Rock laying hens. Many of these are divided into special small mating pens, all are .trapnested, and tested for about ev erything that there is, with the help of the Clemson specialists. They live in a great poultry sec tion, there on the Lexington-Saluda line. Thrift was blooming in beautiful patterns in the farm yards of Spar tanburg when I was with County Agent Jones there a few weeks' ago. Never saw it in so many bright colors and growing to such perfec tion before. Some of these yards ranked with the azalea and the iris gardens of the low-country as spectacles of col or and beauty. Why not build a tradition of thrift with two meanings in Spartanburg? Assistant County Agent J. M. Ay- cock of York told me of the boy who got home early last year from the army and cultivated 50 acres of bot tom corn with a two-row power out fit with more ease than he used to 15 acres. With a one-man -pick-up hay bal er, 1,538 bales of hay were put up from the windrew in a day. Then it took him 3 days to haul it to the barn. As bottlenecks are broken and man-labor is multiplied, new bottle necks appear. Some sort of rapid prick-up is needed to load these bales of hay. And it will come, you can bet on that. Thus the labor shortage is being changed into an age of efficiency, and a man multiplies his efforts ten times and more. D. W. Swinnie, the Triple-A man up in Chesterfield, was busy working on cotton crop insurance. One farm er told him that he sure wanted his insured again because “It keeps me from tearing up my bed sheets at night”. A farmer in Sumter County told me about the same thing a year or so ago Said he could sleep through the thunderstorm and gave, hail no concern after this insurance came.

Main Street Newberry, S. C. Mrs. W. E. Monts Phone 208-W A new agriculture is being built | in South Carolina, largely by diversi fied ideas that young folks learn and grow up to put into practice. At an agricultural meeting of the Rotary Club in Greenwood the other day, I sat across 1 the table from two 4-H champion youngsters from that county. They were Iris Miller, for excellence in her 4-H Dairy Club wtfTk, and Ramsey Hawkins, for out- stanefing general farm 4-H w’ork in 1945, w'.hen farm labor was so short. Tom Tray Wick of Cope has brought in the Grand Champion gilt from the Ohio Berkshire Show and Sale. Better hogs for Orangeburg, where good ones already grew. When I went by County Agent Lemmon’s home over in Fierfield, he and Mrs. Lemmon had just finish ed packing their cured meat in large lard cans and covering it with vege table oil. Said they had been doing that for years and liked it very much. It keeps perfectly that way, does not dry out nor become rancid, and bugs can’t reach it there. As you need it you take a piece out, let the oil drain off and it is ready to use. Jn this warm climate, where bugs are pften very troublesome, this method is worthy of wide use. You can strain the oil and use it over, according to our livestock agent, Hawkins, who first told me of this method, as I was eating some of the excellent breakfast bacon at his place one summer a few years ago. I saw the two-row sweet potato plant setter that W. K. Cherry is making over in Orangeburg. It does not water the plants, but it gets good See R. M. Lominack Hdwe.

HOME Demonstration By ETHEL L. COUNTS Layers Away Elimination of layers in many familiar dishes is one simple way to help save flour and bread in the present world famine emergency the U. S. Department of Agriculture suggests to home cooks. Use only half a biscuit to a serving of short cake, chicken or strawberry, instead of the usual two-layer serving. Feature open face sandwiches—one slice only with filling on top—in- sted of the usual two-slice sand wiches or triple deck club sand wiches. A deep dish pie with small portions of pastry on top of the fruit, or a one crust pie will satis fy most families as well as the usual two-crust pie, and save both flour and fat. Cup cakes or plain cake can take the place of luxurious layer cakes. Easter Necktie Many a necktie, now hanging limp and soiled en route to the rag-bag, could instead take its place in the Easter parade with some skillful home cleaning and pressing, accord ing to clothing speicalists of tha U. S Department of Agriculture. New neckties, like many other items of men’s wear, are low in supply— and sometimes also in quality—and up in price. Salvage of old neck ties, therefore, is well worth while. Many men still own prewar ties of true silk which deserve recondition ing. Many of these silks are fast in color, so wash successfully, but the specialists advise first testing a bit of fabric cut trom the underside of the tie. If the fabric is not wash able, the tie may be dipped in non- inflammable cleaning fluid. The lining of the tie frequenty gives trouble in cleaning and press ing. Unless it is anchored in place. It is likely to slip out of position and become lumpy during washing and cleaning. In pressing, the lining may mark the outer fabric. To avoid these difficulties, run basting threads up and down the tie to hold the lin ing in place before washing or dip- :pfing. Remove bastings when the tie is ready for pressing, and slip a piece of cardboard, cut in the shape of the tie, between the lining and outer fabric. Press over the cardboard. If the tie is silk, a press ing cloth or tissue paper should be used between fabric and iron. Many ties do not need complete cleaning—may be freshened with a little sponging. The part most like ly to be soiled is where the fold of the fabric comes under the chin in contact with grease or perspiration. Prompt sponging with cleaning fluid and perhaps also with a cloth damp ened in water may remove the soil here. At this place also the tie is likely to become worn. If the tie is of sufficient length to allow shorten ing, the remedy for wear is to take up the seam in the center a half inch or so which will bring thg worn place under the collar and out of sight. If the tie cannot be cleaned or re paired for further wear as a tie, the fabric may be used in other ways— as a bright scarf for a child, a pocket handkerchief, a belt (by stitching on to stiff belting), buttons (by covering button molds), or edg ing a neck and sleeves of a dark dress.
