THE NEWBERRY SUN ~~
By Ted Kesting
Louis Bromfield, noted A-
merican author, in his new book
"Malabar Farm” points out that
abundant fish and game are
linked directly to good agri
cultural practices, and that there
is no greater beneficiary of good
agriculture and proper land use
than the sportsmian.
A fact frequently overlooked
by sportsmen and farmers is
that game animals and birds
will not stay on eroded and de
pleted lands, nor will fish live
in silt-filled streams.
Writing about farm-game res
toration problems, Bromfield dis
cusses the program of the Ohio
Conservation Commission which
has developed a policy based
primarily, not upon artificial
propagation, but upon natural
habitat and food.
This Ohio program depends
for its success upon proper land
use by farmers, upon proper dis
posal of industrial and city sew
age wastes, upon maintaining
suitable parks, sanctuaries and
game propagation areas, and up
on the establishment of head
water lakes as fishbreeding
areas.
The Muskingum Valley Flood
Control project is an excellent
example of how this program
works. Set up after the disas
trous flood of 1913, it resulted
in the establishment of 12 lakes
for impounding flood waters
and the setting aside of lands
surrounding the lakes for rec
reational areas and for devel
opment into state forests.
The project was revolutionary
for it sought to control floods
at their source rather than by
expensive and futile dams, le
vees and other means at the
bottom of rivers. The dams and
lakes constructed along the
Muskingum River served to im
pound flood waters absolutely
and in a year or two virtually
paid for themselves in prevent
ed losses.
The efficiency of a joint fed
eral, state and local watershed
development, managed autono
mously by a local control board,
was proved in a score of ways.
Within the area principles of
good land use are followed and
enforced. The imposition of
these rules has greatly increas
ed the fish and wildlife popula
tions of the area. So besides
proving a great economical as
set, the District has proved a
paradise for sportsmen.
It is unfortunate that the
effectiveness of the District has
had little publicity, for it is a
pattern which could well be
followed with great benefit by
most of the secondary water
sheds of every state in the
nation.
Vets Corner
The number of Veterans Ad
ministration beneficiaries. In
surance regulations and educa
tional provisions are the sub
ject of inquiries and authori
tative answers by VA. This is
published by The Sun as a ser
vice to our veterans.
Q: How many persons in the
United States are eligible for
Veterans Administration bene
fits?
A: It is estimated that more
than 46,000,000 persons (living
veterans and their dependents)
may become eligible for VA
benefits under present laws. By
1962, the figure i^ expected to
rise to 62,300,000. *
Q: “What is vocational ad
visement and why is it required
under the Vocational Rehabili
tation Act?
A: The main purpose of vo
cational advisement is to deter
mine whether a disabled vet
eran should train for a pro
fession or for. a particular trade
or occupation based on his pe-
vious education, experience, per
sonal desires and ability. .He
is required to take a series of
aptitude tests at a VA guid
ance center where he is inter
viewed and counseld by a group
of highly trained specialists. This
advisement is requited under
the program to insure the dis-
aibled veteran’s proper rehabil
itation.
Q: I am the beneficiary of
a $10,000 National Service Life
Insurance policy. Are the pay
ments I am receiving subject
to taxation?
A: No. The payments of Na
tional Service Life Insurance
as such are wholly exempt from
Federal Taxation.
Q: I am going to school un
der the educational provisions
of the G-I Bill and would like
to know whether I have to get
prior approval from the VA if
I wish to change my course?
A: If you are studying in a
public school or college, you no
longer will need prior approval
from VA before changing your
course. The change now may be
approved by your school.
(Veterans wishing further in
formation about veterans’ bene
fits may have their questions
answered by writing the near
est VA Regional Office.)

All YEAR ROUND
Dr. Paul Chapman of Geor
gia says that a farm dollar
turns over at least 5 times be
fore it leaves the community.
And he further says that 4
out of every 5 jobs in indus
try are made possible by raw
products from the farms.
Yes. all of this, in addition
to feeding and clothing the
world.
And in this country less than
one person in 5 is to be found
on the farms where all of this
is being done.
Now, you as a farmer, don’t
you feel a little more impor
tant in the eternal scheme of
things on this earth?
Or are you not very proud
of the way you’ve been farm
ing? I see the red meat of
some farms still festering there
in the sun, and its lifeblood
trickling away in the red water
that goes down its gullies. The
man who tries to live by that
land, and does nothing to save
and improve it, gets poorer
rather fast. But across the
road at mlany places you see
a different sight. There soil
saving has soaked in. Scars
are being healed, and the new
day of sod and cattle, along
with some row crops, is getting
under way.
BETTER SWEET POTATOES
In Darlington, County Agent
Dukes secured 282 bushels of
improved sweet potato seed
stock from Clemson’s Edisto
Station at Blackville for his
farmers.
Over in Horry County, Don
Benton has thirty-odd. boys in
the state 4-H Sweet Potato con
test. And other counties are
reporting a record number of
boys in this forward step with
sweets.
DAIRY BOOST IN SUMTTER
A lot of the dairy develop
ment in this state got its boost
from 4-H club work. In Ches
ter, County Agent Stallworth
tells me that old 4-H’ers are to
be all along the line in their
dairy development, which is
perhaps the most advanced to
'be found in the state.
Sumter county has done well
with hogs and cattle, but dairy
ing has been slow. The 4-H
clubs were in the forefront of
that hog and cattle develop
ment there. Now Assistant
County Agent Alston tells me
they have placed 10 good Jersey
heifers with their 4-H club boys.
And that’s just a start. Watch
County Agent Brown and Al
ston here. They don’t play
along when they go after a job.
You’ll see some future dairy
men there where their tracks
go along.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
It was spring, and quail were
whistling down in the pasture.
I went down there to see if
I could find one.
The grass was close cropped
and I couldn’t see where the
one out there in the clearing
could be hiding. I walked and
looked all around. The direc
tion from which their call comes
is sometimes hard to locate.
I turned my head sideways and
all around trying 'to spot the
source of the sound. Every
thing indicated he was right
out there about 75 feet in front
of me. The only place he could
be was in a little bushy pine
sapling about 3 feet high.
Otherwise, I could see him
there in the short grass. But
I had never seen a partridge
in any sort of tree.
I picked up a good throwing
rock, as dusk was falling. I
took careful aim and slammed
it into the bush, trusting to
luck. Out flew that partridge,
whistling and fluttering away,
as a cloud of feathers settled
there on the grass.
What a thrill that was! I
had almost gotten a quail with
a rock. To prove my point,
I picked up a batch of the
feathers and took them up thru
the orchard with me as I went
to supper. The folks bragged
on me. for I was small.
That was my beginning as
a partridge hunter. A few
years later, I killed one with
a rock, as a covey flushed be
fore me over in the blackberry
patch. And that’s the only one
I’ve ever killed.
likely a dead one someone
threw in the river. The garfish
were the fisherman’s main
enemy.
Nature had things pretty well
in balance in the streams of
the Low Country. The gators
lived on the garfish. That gave
game fish a chance. And there
was good fishing everywhere
down there. Folks killed the
gators out, garfish multiplied,
and ate the game fish up. Re
sult—poorer and poorer fishing.
Georgia found this out and
has been importing alligators
into its strearms. And there is
a heavy fine for killing one.
When I read that, I said to
myself “Why kill a gator any
way?” And that one showed
what he was put there for.
Cleaning dead things out of the
stream—the dog, and eating up
gars, so good fish would have
a chance there. For the gar is
fast and his sharp teeth are
deadly to fish.
So I hope all who read this
will try to protect the few re
maining gators we have. For
when you take them out of the
Low Country streams you give
the fine fishing over to the
garfish.
LEAVE COTTON THICK
Despite the boll weevil, we
are making almost twice as
much cotton per acre as we
did before that great pest came.
There are many reasons for
thos—better methods, better cot
tons. and so on. And one r of
the better methods that we have
learned from experiment and
exprdence is that it pays to
have cotton rather thick on the
land. And the cotton contest
proves that too. The high
yields are usually where there
are the most stalks per acre.
One to 3 stalks about every
8 to 12 inches is about the
right range to leave it in the
drill.
WHY KILL A FRIEND
The other day you probably
read where some men down in
the Low Country killed a giant
Alligator, I n him was a dog
and many garfish. The dog was
