CLAUD WILSON INTERIM COTTON LOAN RATE SET WASHINGTON, May 24—The Department of Agriculture an nounced today an interim cotton loan rate of 27.50 cents per pound for 1948-crop middling 7-8-inch cotton, gross weight at average location. The interim rate for 1947-cfop cotton was 24.75 cents per pound. This year’s increase is occasioned by an increase in parity prices. The department also announced the premiums and discounts for all qualities of 1948 American upland cotton, applicable to both interim and regular crop loans. These pre miums and discounts have been determined in the same way as in 1947, based upon actual mar ket differences for the various grades and staples. The basic rate for the regular 1948-crop cotton loans will be announced in August, following a determination of parity prices at the beginning of the 1948 marketing season. An interim loan is announced at this time to provide price support for early harvested 1948-crop cotton. This applies almost entirely to south Texas. grass AFIELD By Ted Kesting Why have Americans been neglecting thousands of miles of beautiful streams as a way of vacation, travel asks Joe Austell Small, well-known outdoor wri ter. The wilderness beauty, the tranquility, the feel of river life is all vastly different from the cut and dried automobile vacation. Oncq you’ve traveled a lazy river road you’ll want to use it in the future in preference to«the crowded highways of con crete and steel. There will be hardly any traf fic. and no speed laws; you can drive on either side of the road. Hotel accommodations are free. The scenery is superb. You wont have to spend much money. You can go by canoe. Or you can rent or buy an outboard and small boat. Travel light; for a three to seven day trip include in your equipment a light bed roll, folding army cot, one change of clothing, a compact box of food and cooking uten sils, fishing gear, rifle and cam era and a five-gallon can of gasoline. Take along a tarpaulin in case of rain, and be sure to include a comfortable chair one that will permit changes in the position of the back. Nearly always there are coun try stores, small towns or farms along the river where you can restock supplies. You’ll be sur prised how co-operative farmers and tradespeople are. You are a river traveler—a complete novelty. When figuring mileage don’t forget the extra “winding” miles And don’t let the bends get you: Resist the lure of the next curve in the river just before sundown It’s rough going camping in a Strange place in the dark. A cruise down a river is like no other vacation you’ve had. Try it this summer. There is al ways a stream not too far away. Even a small one will do—just so it will float your boat and there are not too many por tages. It’s a different kind of trip that you’ll want to repeat.

The poppies which the Aux iliary will distribute have been made by disabled veterans at the Veterans Hospital in Co lumbia. JAMES W. RICHARDSON James William Richardson, 91, died suddenly Saturday night at his home at Jolly Street, where he was bom and reared. He was the son of the late Peter and Nancy Kelly Richardson. Mr. Richardson was a promi nent citizen of that section of the county and was the oldest resident of the community. He was a member of St. Paul’s Lu theran church, having served on the church council for a number of years. He was made a life member of the council. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon from St. Paul’s Lutheran church with Dr. J. B. Harman and Rev. V. L. Ful mer officiating. Interment was in the church cemetery. One son, Henry Bowman Richardson, of Jolly Street, and four grandchildren survive. Farms and Folks By A. M. ELEAZER GRAIN ACREAGE DOWN County Agent McComb of Or angeburg says they are now har vesting their smallest grain crop in many years. He figures that they did not get in over 40 to 50 percent of their usual acreage. Yields are OK, but they just don’t have the acreage. And that’s about the story everywhere I go over the state. In some sections they got in a bit more than that, but a lot of it was planted so late that it is making very little. With livestock and poultry on the up-grade, this grain short age is bad news. County agents are now pro moting heavier plantings of summer feed crops. Grain sor ghum will be planted on many acres. Grazing crops too, the ex perts point out, will help make up for the small ' grain crop. For grazing saves grain, whether is it with cattle, hogs, turkeys or chickens. Dr. and Mrs. E. D. Kerr of Decatur, Ga., have arrived in Newiberry to spend the summer months with Mrs. Kerr’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wilson on Main Street. Mr. and Mrs. P. K. Harmon left yesterday for Fredericks burg, Va., where they will at tend the graduation of their daughter. Miss Muriel Harmon, at Mary Washington college of the University of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Harmon also expect to visit Washington during the weekend. ABILITY GONE DOWN THE GULLIES The other day I was in a section of the mid-state where leadership and greatness used to dwell. Tumfoled-down mansions now mark the spot. For the abilit of that land to sustain great folks has long since gone down the gullies. Others of our lands are in that process. But, with the go ing of labor, much clean cul ture had to cease. And many of those acres are coming to pine and pasture. Change, change ceaseless change! And one of the greatest changes has come in us, in our attitudes towards what has been happening to our lands. For several generations it was to clear up the land, farm it ru inously for a decade or so, then turn it out as an old field, and clean up another new-ground. But this generation saw the good land give out. And we had to start taking care of what we had. County agents brought us lespedeza, that serves many of our needs and holds the soil in place. The SCS came and caused a quick ening of interest in general conservation and water con trol. The state forest service taught a new attitude towards trees. And now we are be ginning to find a new concep tion of our duty to this land of ours. It was new. Others before us had lived by it. We have lived by it. And we are beginning to act as though we were con scious of the fact that other generations are to live by it, too, if they are to live at all. FILLING OUR NEEDS In introducing a speaker from Lexington county, ex-senator Jim Hammond of Richland county said, “From one section of Lexington county we in Co lumbia get all we want to eat and, from another section, all we want to drink.” I happen to come from the former section, where the thrifty Dutchmen hew a good living from the inhospitable stone hills, as well as from the poor sandhills. The latter stuff wasn’t made in our section, and I only knew four men who ever got drunk. As kids, we were as afraid of them as we would have been of the devil himlself. BOYS ARE THAT WAY They were getting me ready to enter Clemson back in the late summer of 1912. College opened early in September. That was the earliest I had ever put on shoes. They burn ed my feet for a while. And I went barefooted as much as I -could in the barracks. My, what a relief that was to let those things have fresh air! But a touch of autumn was not long in coming to this near- mlouhtain region. And, after the first little fall chill hit the air, I was all right as far as my feet went. My folks were busy for weeks before I left home, getting my things ready. Practically ev erything was home-made then. My sister volunteered to make my shirts. And they tell me that a shirt is one of the hard est things to make. Well, she sat to it for a week or so. and had me about 10 made. Those who knew said, “they are beautifully made,” and they wore like iron. No, sir, there was nothing short about those shirts, except their tails. And here is the way that happened. Our folks are a most frugal people. They had to be, for a living did not come easy in the stone hills. They worked hard, saved, and always man aged to make ends meet, except this time. They hardly met. As she laid the patterns out on the cloth it looked to her like an utter waste to put so much cloth in the tails of the shirts. She had never made a shirt before and was thinking about shirtwaists in this regard. So she just whacked the tails off where she thought they should be. Thus she saved about half a yard of cloth on each shirt. And that was not to be sneezed at in those times. But that economy car ried unintended grief for me in the months to come. I will have to tell you about that next week.
