FRIDAY. JANUARY 28. 1848 ♦ ' THE NEWBERRY SUN ELEAZERS’ CORNER J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Specialist Registrations show that we have one automobile for each 4 persons in South Carolina. That means everybody could ride at once and still have plenty of room, for many of them are buses. We have just our share, one car for the four of us. But, as the kids grow up, that one will not likely be shared equally. But what of it? I will soon be ready for my slippers and the rocker, at least after sundown anyway. The Rotary Club at Union is sponsoring two forestry con tests with boys. One consist of thinning an acre of young pines there on the farm according to best forestry practices. And the other is to set an acre of pine seedlings. These will be judged by a competent forester or committee at the right time. County Agent Martin there also told me that the Rotary Club was sponsoring a 4-!H corn contest, with one division for white boys and one for Colored boys under the Negro agent.. When we finished Clemson in 1916, Bill Camp of Cherokee county went west to try cotton out for the government in Southern California. He soon found that it would grow and produce well there on the lands of the sagebrush and the tumbleweed. He estabilhed the experiment station there to work on cotton, and wrote the law that decreed from the start that nothing but the cotton that the station recommended could be planted in the state. And that has continued up to the present. During the intervening years, California has grown into one of the leading cottongrowing states. Bill resigned his job some years ago, and now he is growing a lot of that Cali fornia cotton, among other things. I saw it last August and it looked like two bales per acre all over. Bill saw a farming empire with cotton their on that dry land when water was added. And they have to add it v/ith irrigation. For there is no rain from May until November, and very little from November to May. Bill and his boys have a great loyalty to South Carolina, and they are developing a large farming aera here. They don’t hardly see how we can afford to farm here without supple mentary irrigation. For rain fall is too uncertain. We can do. everything in our power to make a good crop. But unless the needed shower comes at the right time, our hopes are blasted. And that happens often. On the dry lands of the West they have to put down expen sive wells and pump that water out to crops. Many of our fields lie on the banks of eternity’s streams, as water still courses its way to waste down their ancient channels. If we don’t need it, it costs us nothing. If we do need it, we can catch the shower from the ruVming stream, and thus insure the harvest. That’s the dream this prac tical fellow, Bill, has for his home state. And he and his boys beleive in it enough that they are putting considerable of their money in a pot at By TeJ Kesting Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions CARTER’S Day Phone 719 Night 6212 It’s Here!

Freezing is an ideal method and although most freezer units come with complete instruc tions, Sara Hervey, well known foods editor, has some useful suggestions for preparing the meat before it goes into the locker. Hunters too often store game that is in poor condition, and then are disappointed if the cuts of meat aren’t choice and tasty. If care is taken waste can be cut down to a mini mum and quality preserved. Rabbits, squirrel and other small game animals should be dressed soon after they are shot. Removing the entrails eliminates the chief cause of spoilage. Skin the game and wash it well in cold water. Be sure and chill the game by hanging it in very cold air or leaving it in cold water for at least 48 hours. You’ll saye locker space if you freeze only the thick back and hindquart ers. Game birds too should be cleaned soon after they are shot. At least take time to re move the craw and intestines. Chilling so that the body heat is lost quickly is very impor tant. Don’t skin birds. Some of the flavor is lost and the meat will be drier. If you are ship ping the birds home from the field in ordinary ice. do not remove the feathers. If ship ping in dry ice, clean, pluck and freeze the birds before shipping. All game birds should be al lowed to hang for at least 48 hours at a temperature just above freezing so that the meat has a chance to “season.” Large pheasants that are to be roasted, as well as many small game birds which do not lend themselves to disjoining, should be packaged whole for freezing. For preserving fish careful and prompt handling is neces sary. Fish should never be al lowed to get warm between catching and freezing. If freez ing is delayed at least chill them quickly. Fish must be properly packaged in moisture- vapor proof paper, for they dry rapidly in freezer storage and may give off flavors to other foods. Prosperity News CAN YOU USE MORE MONEY IN 1949?
