Betty and Cora will Continued on Back Page A LTTIE DOES IT We struggled with trying to grow alfalfa for a long time before the experiment stations discovered that a little boron was the secret. Now 20 pounds of borax per acre, along with everything else,, makes alfalfa growing possible and profitable in this state. And county agents point to successful plantings of it from Beaufort to Greenville. The Sandhills have often failed to grow fruits and field crops best, regardless of how we fertilized and managed. On David White’s farm at McBee there is proof that a bit of mi nor elements in the regular fertilizer supplies the differ ence between ordinary crops and bumper ones on his light sandy land. Likewise in the human diet, there are elements small i n vol ume that loom large in effect. Among the principal of these are the vitamins and minerals. We only need small amounts of them. But as borax was to al falfa. and as minor elements are to the sandy soils, so are those small amounts of vita mins and minerals to the hu man being. We eat a lot of corn in grits and meal. Corn is short of human needs in minerals and vitamins. Dr. Lease of Clemson discovered how these things could be added to corn products cheaply and without change of taste or texture in any way. The state passed a law requiring the heavily mill ed products of corn to be En riched with these things before they could be shipped in. And L. W. Johnson, extension and food improvement specialist, tells me that most of the local mills over the state are enrich ing their corn products, too. The law does not apply to them. But it makes a better product when even the whole corn is enriched. So they ren der that service to their custo mers and the public that they serve. The enrichment feed ers for the mills are made at Clemson and furnished at cost. "Now if this thing works on humans, as it has on plants, and we have no reason to think it won’t, the general health and vigor of our people should be benefitted as time goes on. Enriched foods! That to folks is like supply ing those needed minor ele ments to plants. tests in Kansas that showed a beef gain valued at $18 from each $5 worth of cottonseed cake fed to their cattle on fall pastures. As the season advances, the protein in grass decreases. Thus the need for a little extra pro tein to cattle on grass in the late summer and fall. In Kan sas they fed 1% pounds of cracked cottonseed cake a day there on the pasture and found it highly profitable. A few hours ago I toured the great Black Belt cattle area of Alabama. We found most of the growers there feeding a little “cake,” is just cottonseed cake broken up into pellets, not ground into meal, and is common here. It is fed right on the sod. And the cattle clean up every bit of it. Some of our mills in this state were produc ing some of it in this form a few years ago. I understand that any of them can, if there is sufficient demand for it. Now, since meal is used almost entirely as a feed, it looks like it is time to be putting more of it as “cake”. It feeds so much better that way, cattle can get it better, and it does not waste and get over you so bad when you handle it. We are growing fast in live stock. And feeding is a big part of this business, according to DuRant and Graves, Clem- son’s extension livestock men. A GOOD INVESTMENT It looks like odds of about three and a half to one, and on a sure thing too. That is indicated by the BOYS ARE THAT WAY As kids in the Dutch Fork, our chewing gum came from the sweetgum tree. There were not many of those trees in the Stone Hills. But we had a cluster of them at the damp spot surrounding our spring. Late each winter we would go there and chop a few new scars on them so the gum would ooze out as the sap began to flow. There it dried in long smears on out in the summer, much as pine rosin does. Then it was ready for chewing. I say “ready for chewing”. But not quite. For you had to get it to come first, much as butter does from cream. And that was an art. I never mas tered it. The stuff would stick to my teeth so I never got anywhere with it. But my bro ther could get it to chewing right in a little while. Then he would give me a hunk. We would chew it a long time, and then rest it on our palmetto hats for a while. Then we would chew _ it some more. But eventually it would all of a sudden lose its right form and crumble. And that was the End of that batch. We could never get it to “chew” again. Then To The Voters Of The Third Congressional District I am deeply grateful for the confi dence reposed and the honor bestowed by a large majority of the voters of this , District in the recent primary. My aim and efforts shall be to merit the confi dence and to reflect credit upon your judgement. I shall endeavor to repre sent all the people at all times to the best of my ability. James B. Hare we went back to the gum trees and got some more. This was life among country kids a generation ago. TURKEYS INCREASE Turkey production is away down in the nation. But not in South Carolina. Clemson’s extension turkey man, W. B. Nesbit, has just completed a census of the ma jor growers. It shows that they now have 363,000 growing tur keys on hand. Last year they had 310,000. This year York county has 33 large growers who have a total of 140,000 turkeys. Coyn- ty agent Miller there says the tendency is for larger flocks. Their flocks now average a little over 4,000 birds. SWEET POTATO FESTIVAL Over Orangeburg county great fields of sweet potatoes now mature. County Agent Ma- Comb tells me that the sweet potato has for several years now exceeded a million dollars in market value there. Year- around local markets are main tained, and the orop is grad ually growing in stature and quality. It is quite appropriate that the first South Carolina Sweet Potato Festival is being staged at Orangeburg, Oct. 8. A large organization of extension work ers and others under County Agent McComb is working on it. A big event is expected. By TeJ Kesting The beginner cannot be ex pected to know all the funda mentals of small-boat operation, but even a novice must recog nize that some preparation is requird before starting a trip, states Willard Crandall, boat ing authority. Not only must proper tools and equipment be aboard, but weather must be considered. By weather we mean, principal ly, wind. Swamping or upsett ing from big wavs is the great est hazard of small boating. There are no hard and fast rules as to what size waves a novice can tackle, but if water sloshes in, or even threatens to, the safety margin has long been passed. The newcomer to boating should stick to sheltered waters until thoroughly familiar with [ his craft. One of his toughest ■ jobs is to learn to avoid col- I lisions with objects underwater. ! Here are a few elementary rules. j Don’t start the outboard un less headed straight out toward clear water, a n d with at least six inches of water under the lowest part of the motor. Never start an outboard where it is too congested and unnecessarily shallow. When underway, avoid weed- beds; don’t go too close to shore, and slow down or stop at once if logs or rocks are present, or if shallow bottom is seen passing under the boat. Stay well clear of jutting points of land. Reduce speed if any man-made obstructions are seen above water. Keep speed down off rocky shores. Treat all float ing objects with respect and stick to marked channels in un familiar waters. The beginner must learn never to underestimate the power cf waves, or to take chances with them. Particular ly must he guard against swells of other boats and he must not carelessly swamp a smaller boat with his own wake. Always head INTO dangerous waves. Making the landing, the final step in boat operation, is some thing that can be leafned only by experience. It is better for a beginner to err on the side of a too-slow landing until he has learned the best speed, and just how to handle the boat at 1 that speed.
