Eleazer Clemson College Extension Information Specialist In late years com ear worms have often gotten in the buds and ruined or seriously dam aged fields of corn. County Agent King of Dorchester told me of two such fields on a farm there last summer. One of them was dusted with 10 pounds of Toxaphene. It made 79.6 bushels per acre. The other one was dusted, and it only made 36.3 bushels per acre. Otherwise, they would have expected about the same yield from each. Last summer I was in far western cities that hardly knew when Sunday came, and at places farm .work was go ing right on. I landed in Lubbock, Texas, Saturday night. Started out for a walk next morning and to go to church. Followed a crowd to the first one I saw. It was the Broadway Church of Christ, a sect I had never heard of- It was a beautiful church, but had no organ nor any sort. Only voices. And everybody sang. Never heard such singing. The building was full. And there were many children and babies there. Re minded me of my childhood days in the Dutch Fork. Crying babies didn’t seem to bother that preacher. And he was good. I learned that they do not beleive in denominations. They are “The Church of Christ”, and that settles it. May be they have an idea there. I have often wondered how the heathen is ever reached, with scores of denominations and sects yelling at him, “We are it. Get on our wagon. It alone has the magic word.” Yet who of us is yet willing to agree that any one is right except our own? And there’s the rub. Gracious! How did I get in to that subject? It’s too deep for me. Let me scat away from here. I read in a farm paper that an easy way to figure when a sow will farrow is to count ahead four months from the date she is bred. Then count back 9 days from that and you will have it. That’s easier, I' believe, than trying to figure it 112 days ahead.

Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions CARTER’S Day Phone 719 — Night 6212 The citizens of the Town of Newberry have the opportunity of voting on certain important issues. The Newberry Junior Chamber of Commerce urges every citizen to qualify himself to vote in this We read that certain mEuiu- facturers are cutting production to keep from flooding markets. And that is considered “good business”. Yet when the farmer tries to do the same thing for the same reason, we hear a lot of talk about “an economy of scEircity” being 'planned by the frirmers, a dreadful thing. I like a lot of things about Lubbock, Texas. Shavings from the whittlers literally covered -the ground around the benches in the pretty park there. And I just liked to sit and talk with those fellows. They had so little to do it was restful and refresh ing. And their talk with kind ly and humorus. I weis reading the paper there. It said, “The story of the South Plains here ceui be read in history of the type of resesirch work the experiment station has done.” I asked those sages about that. They agreed. And that man Karpis, who has done wonders there with grain sor ghum (that’s their corn crop) weis worth its weight in gold, they said. And, by the way. the grain sorghums that are coming to our fields were bred by their man Karpis. I spent a while with him. He showed me a new sort that he thinks will be the best yet for our SoutheEist. Our experiment station and perhaps several county agents will try it out here this year. Sometime ago I told you here that I saw more signs of soil saving in the flight from Green ville to Atlanta that I did on all the rest of the trip to the Pacific coast and back. The associate editor of Coun try Gentleman, Buckly Maits, who flies a lot, has written me to second what I said. He writes: “I think the Southeast, long plagued by its erosion trebles, must know its soil better now than any other place I have seen. From the air, where you can see so much at once, there is a new rich ness in your land that augurs well for a better and more prosperous agriculture.” There is a great increEiSe in winter grazing in Edgefield, according to County Agent Lloyd. And the bank there is sponsoring a pasture contest. New pastures are all that count in this. They must be prepared, limed, fertilized, and seeded right. I’ll see ’em next summer and tell you about ‘em. “Prepared Pastures!” We be gin to have some of that sort in every county. And that is where cattle eat, not just to take exercise. election by securing a city registration certificate.
