THE NEWBERRY SUN By Ted Kesting Common sense is really the best guide in freeing a stuck boat, according to Willard Cran dall. noted boating authority. And common sense very often says, or should say, that the thing to do is climb out and push. It’s often less trouble in the end, and it is much har der to damage the boat if all shoving and rocking is done with passengers and their weight outside the boat. Once outside a small boat you can shove more efficiently than from the inside and some lift ing can be done. Of course, some bottoms are not suitable for wading. Then you have to stay in the boat. Remember that the outboard motor should be tilted up before poling and shoving. Taking off the motor and moving it up to the bow. should the boat happen to be stuck at the stern, is seldom practical or advisable. Better results can usually be obtained by trying to shove the boat forward or backward than by attempting to move it side- wayfc. Some rocking of the boat in various directions may help, and of course, moving the weight away from the part of the boat stuck on the bottom nearly always is of some aid. It is well to remember that vicious rocking, poling, etc., will damage almost any boat of light construction. A heavily loaded canoe can be badly dam aged by too vigorous shoving with paddles, roughly rocking the boat, or even walking about. It’s not too hard to see that forcing one part of the boat to move while another part is held quite immovable by the bottom of the creek or river is sub jecting the whole boat to strain. So exercise more common sense and less muscle and you’ll have the boat free much sooner. Farms and Folk NEED MONEY?

ON REAL ESTATE AUTOMOBILES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY PURCELLS NKD PURCELL, Manager TELEPHONE 197 Exchange Bank Building HAVE YOU SEEN IT? Year-around grazing is com ing to this land of cotton! Have you seen it? All counties have some. Many farmers saw it on their county farm tours in the late winter and early spring. And, from the remarks heard on those tours, many others will have it. Oconee had 238 farmers on its tour. They visited 5 farms. Barley rye grass, crimson clo ver, ladino clover, Alta fescue, and subterranean clover were used in various combinations there. County agent Griffin said, “The demonstrations were very outstanding, and I don’t believe I have ever noted keen er interest in any type of crop than was shown by the 238 far mers on this totir.” They have 64 farmers with 78 pastures entered in their permanent pasture contest. Yes, seeing is believing. And this grazing thing is surely on its way in South Carolina. I know beef cattle growers who do no hand feeding at all. And they only put up a little oat straw to feed on rare days when snow is on the ground and covers up their grazing. And dairy farmers too. They are thinking less of putting up large amounts of hay and sil age and more of grazing crops that the cattle can go and get. Their aim is grazing to the li mit and hand feeding to a very minimum. And the livestock men point out that pearl millet or sweet sudan planted in early June will usually come in good when you want to rest your pastures a bit during dry spells in the summer and fall. THE HEART H The 11 4-H Clubs of New berry county conducted chapel programs during the recent “4-H Club Week." For, as you recall, the four H’s stand for the equal training of the hands, head, heart, and health. At camps and in their regular 4-H meetings, the youngsters mix devotionals with play and serious work. DRIVERS BECOME OPERATORS Since their farm machinery schools in Colleton, they have a lot more tractor “operators,” says Alford, and less “drivers.” And there is a world of dif ference. Put some feed to the mule and he will largely do the rest. But when you have put the fuel to the tractor it is still a dead thing. You have to sup ply all of the know how and in genuity to make it click. Combine schools have been in order here of late. Clemson’s engineers have helped 22 county agents with 26 schools just a- head of the present grain har vest. Hundreds of combine owners received practical in structions at these schools. “LORD’S ACRES” While working with County Agent King of Dorchester on cotton improvement in the county, Extension Cotton Spec ialist Boylston met with a com mittee from the Ridgeville Bap tist church in regard to en tering their “Lord’s Acres” in the cotton contest. BOYS ARE THAT WAY About the time the first frost of fall had changed the land scape to burnished hues and the harvest had been laid in store for winter, we boys up in the Stone Hills usually felt the urge to do something devil ish and appropriate to the season. With us, all sorts of strong drinks, from beer and wine on up to hard liquor, were eter nally barred and forbidden But in the fall, when we wanted to do something on the border line to the woods we went for locust and persimmon to make beer with. It was made by cutting out the meaty portions of the honey locust (I still like to eat them) and putting them in a keg with a lot of good ripe persimmons. This was well covered with water and allowed to set. In a few days, the warmer the quicker, it went through a sort of ferment and settled out. An amber-colored liquid that looked like regular beer was the result. This stuff cold was good drinking. And some of my folks in the Fork still make it. But it carries none of the wicked implications we made out. The old folks did not en courage it. But they tolerated it, knowing it carried no power. What they did not like about it, I think, was that name ‘beer’ we attached to it—“persimmon beer,” we called it. For that word described forbidden stuff, and they wanted us to know it. Strict raising in^ this respect made its lasting impression on me. And I still view every thing from beer on up as dan gerous stuff. And I can’t un derstand seeing poor people put their money in stuff that gov ernment tries to kill with taxes, when their children need shoes, and good reading matter, and many other things, and above all a better example. But let me hush. Guess it’s not up to me to try to reform the world according to my stan dard learned during my “per simmon beer” days. YOUR 3 ACRES It takes about three acres of crops to supply the food and clothing for the average Amer ican. we are told. I wonder if city people gen erally realize that? If they did it looks like farm belt and city representatives would get together more often than they do on legislation. They recently got together in a very unusual way and voted to remove the absurd taxes from wholesale margarine. Both had an interest. The farmer FRANKLIN FEELS REPUBLICAN KNIFE From Drew Pearson’s Wash ington column: G. O. P. NEPOTISM When Congressman Bishop of Illinois heard that a cripple, Lonnie Franklin, was being fired as Democratic House door keeper in order to create a job for the son of Congressmen Leo Allen, also of Illinois, Bishop remarked: “I would have fired Lonnie long ago. I understand he’s a Democratic committeeman in South Carolina." What Congressman Bishop didn’t know was that the crip pled doorkeeper had been doing odd jobs for Bishop without pay. On that very day he had taken home 7,000 envelopes to address for the Illinois cong ressman after hours.” grows the vegetable oil, and the city folks need it in mar garine. They saw together on this issue. That made sense. Mr. Farmer, remember every city person is a market for 3 acres of your stuff. Mr. City Man, remember that unless a farmer tills 3 acres somewhere for you, your food and clothing plot will grow up in weeds. And they can neither feed nor clothe you. Now, let’s go on as friends. For we are mighty important to each other. THE BEST PLACE FOR Buick & Chevrolet Service IS Davis Motor Company 1515-1517 Main Street :. . Fust in quality and LOWEST-PRICED LI i|t its field!
