THE NEWBERRY SUN
Farms & Folks
They live away back off the
beaten paths. The soil is light
and sandy. And the timber was
taken before they came there
some years ago. Yet Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Rumph of Dorches
ter county are doing well on
their isolated farm.
Their main crop is broilers.
They have 14 good houses. Each
week they get 900 chicks. And
each week they dress and sell
the equivalent of one batch.
They grow ‘em out to good size
in 11 to 12 weeks. And that
always leaves a house or two
empty for cleaning out and dis
infecting for the new batch of
chicks.
And I want to tell you they
really clean them out too. In
fact they do just about every
thing right.
Mrs. Rumph knows those
chicks, every whim and mood.
It was a warm day, but I noti
ced that one house with chicks
about 6 weeks old was rather
tightly closed up. She said they
got slightly chilled when it
turned unusually cool while
they were away at church the

previous Sunday night. That
gave them a slight cold, that
the ordinary person wouldn’t
notice, and it would likely run
into something serious. But she
caught it at a glance. And said
that they should be kept rather
warm, until that slight cold
passes off. We could see no
thing wrong with them, but
she could. Said they would be
perfectly all right in few more
days, and then she would give
them full .ventilation again.
They have an up-to-date
dressing room there. They pack
’em in ice. And Mr. Rumph de
livers them weekly to regular
customers in their vicinity.
^ It’s work, and plenty of It.
But with their convenient ar
rangements, they are able to
accomplish the usual work of
twice their numbers. And their
laying flock too is handled just
as carefully as their broilers.
The laying house too is of ce
ment and brick. The nests are
made in the walls, easy to
clea n and hard for insects to
hide in.
A lot of their cut-over land
now grows a beautiful stand
of pines they planted. Some of
these areas are now about rea
dy for pulpwood thinning
Later there will be poles, and
then sawtimber.
And. add to all of this they
have hewn out of what was
rather uninviting wastelands,
the fishing is good in the deep
clear river that courses through
the place.
WIEEVIL CONTROL
The smell of the new boll
weevil poisons are now familiar
to all who travel the highways
and byways of the state. The
odors carry goodly distances,
and they linger for days.
Bamberg county is typical of
the many that waged hard wee
vil fights. County Agent Hubb
ard told me they had over a
hundred dusters at work there.
Some of these were large trac
tor outfits that take 8 rows at
a time. Two firms i n that coun
ty rented machines out to far
mers who did not care to buy.
The charge was 35 cents per
acre dusted.
When this cotton crop is har
vested we will know a lot
more about what to expect
from a rather general use of
the new poisons. For they sure
ly went on vast acreages this
time. Last year’s results were
outstanding. A n equal break on
a much larger acreage this year
should tell in our ginning fig
ures.
ORANGEBURG SWIEET
POTATOES
Corbett Brothers had 1%
acres of sweet potato plant
beds just out of Orangeburg.
Irrigation . made the plants
shout there. This supplemented
many farm plant beds. Thus
Orangeburg had plenty of plan
ts for the first time this year.
W. K. Cherry has added a
watering attachment to his two-
row sweet potato plant setter.
They had a good planting sea
son and didn’t need the waterers
much this time. We saw large
fields of beautiful potatoes
that were set by these ma
chines over Orangeburg coun
ty. County Agent McComb
said they were giving uniform
satisfaction. Two plowings and
one easy hoeing make most of
their commercial sweet potato
crops there.
Sweet potatoes are a mill
ion dollar crop in Orangeburg,
and it is gradually on the in
crease. according to McComb.
Ready year-around markets
for them in any quantity ri
ght there at several places in
the county add money crop
statute to them.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
In the past few weeks here I
have told the tales of the ear
ly automobile in our Stone
Hills of the Dutch Fork.
In that connection, a wind
fall came nay way.
Dr. Eargle, a neighbor, was
the first one in all of that sect
ion to get a car. And he let
me learn with him how to
drive it. I drove him a lot.
At first we used a lantern
tied to the radiator for light
at night. It was poor light, and
occasionally we hung up on a
stump or rock.
One day a heavy rain came,
as one of the rare cars to pass
through there was a mile or
two below our place. It fought
mud and bog as far as our
house. Trace chains had been
put around the wheels, and it
had tom them up. So the man
parked it in our yard. He
learned that I could drive.
He left the keys with me and
askedthat I bring it to him
at Newberry, 25 miles away,
as soon as the roads became
passable. And we took him in
the buggy to catch the train
at White Rock.
Well, sir, a car at my dis
posal, and to drive it to far
away Newberry was like a
dream! Folks came to see it
up close, put their hands on
it. shake it, and sit in it.
Eventually the roads dried off
and two other boys had prim
ed themselves for this adventure
with me. We drove through
those unfamiliar hills, inquir
ing the way, for there were
no road signs. We made the
25 miles in about two hours,
caught the afternoon train
back to White Rock, and walk
ed the two miles home.
We were marked boys for
weeks to come. And how we
talked about that trip! The
older folks thought we were
awful reckless to go off in one
of those things, and several
wouldn’t let their boys go. But
to us it was a trip divine.
Industrial experts figure that
approximately 7 1-2 million
workdays are lost annually as
a result of sunburn. No one
knows how many vacation-days
have been ruined because of
Old Sol.
Wte’ve been told the whys
and wherefores of sunburn
countless times, but never
seem to learn. Outdoor writer
Harold Rogers feels that re
peating a few basic facts might
help us avoid that too-hot-to
handle feeling this year.
The intensity of rays which
cause burning are strongest in
the summer months, at midday,
and at high altitudes. Water,
sand and snow strongly reflect
sunlight, and this reflection in
creases the intensity of radia
tion, making it easier to burn.
Cloudy, hazy days do not pre
vent sunburn. Drops of water
left on the skin after a swim or
from perspiration increase the
intensity of the burn. Tan alone
does not protect one from fur
ther burning.
Prevention of burning os
largely a matter of common
sense. Take the sun in very
mild doses at first. If it is mid
day in the summer, five minutes
is ample. Then add a couple of
minutes each day Vuntil your
skin is toughened.
If you haven’ttime or pa
tience to acquire a tan by grad
ual exposure, there are now
available many so-called tan
ning preparations. On the
whole, these will not hasten
tanning, but they may prevent
burning.
Those with oils are probably
better for dry skins. Alcoholic
solutions are recommended for
oily skins. Nongreasy creams
and lotions are usualy a good
all-around choice.
Scientific tests indicate the
best preventatives are those
which contain a diluted solution
of paraaminobenzoic acid, or
esters of the same acid. They
have been found to have high
absorption properties, are fair
ly stable under ultraviolet rays
and do not seem to irritate sen
sitive skins.
If. in spite of this advice, you
do bum, cover- the burned parts
with thick gauze kept constant
ly wet with Burow’s solution,
diluted 20 parts with water. In
case of a bad burn it is better
to call or see a physician.

Make these 4 comparisons
before you buy
COMPARE THE VALUE
Yes, compare the features—com
pare the prices—compare what

you, too, will come to the con
clusion that Chevrolet is first in
value. It alone gives Big-Car fea
ture after Big-Car feature for
Big-Car motoring results—and

lower than those of any other car
in the field I
COMPARE THE POPULARITY
You can identify the biggest value
in any list of products by picking
out the one product which enjoys
greatest popularity, year after
year; and, of course, in the field
of motor cars, that one product is

Chevrolets, and more p>eople are
driving Chevrolets than any other
make of car. this year as for the
total 17-year period, 1931 to date!
COMPARE THE FEATURES

COMPARE THE PRICES
You’ll agree with millions of other
car buyers that prices—like
quality—are a major consideration
in these times; and just as Chev
rolet’s Big-Car quality is unique
in its price rarlge, so Chevrolet’s
prices are the lowest in its field.
Moreover, Chevrolet also saves
you substantial sums on gas. oil
and upkeep—just to help your
budget all the morel
Only Chevrolet gives BIG-CAR
QUALITY AT LOWEST PRICES . . . that’s why
CHEVROLET-WOnly /UmIjjSmJ/-IS FIRST!
