Seen Along
THE
Roadside
By J. M. 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.

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.
