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

WITH LAST YEAR’S WAGES
and could you use more money in 1949? Can you
sell or be taught to sell? Forty-two men in S. C.,
many without previous sales experience, are making
more than in any previous job or trade. Character

overwhelming desire for advancement needed. Ad

for preserving game and fish.
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.
