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.

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.
