PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, APBfiL 22,' . SEEN ALONG THE ROADSIDE By J. M. Eleazer Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist It is fair today. And spring is in the air. The out of doors is ailing. Sc : the kids. I will answer in a uttle while. , * We will roam to the scluded dells of the deep woods, where the fragrant arbutus grows. We will walk the dim roads where the wild rabbits play in pairs and have become tame. We will follow the scream of the eagle in quest, of its nest ing place. We will hunt for cocoons from which beautiful butterflies emerge We will slip the beaten bark from the hickory sprout and make whis tles from it, and walking sticks from the branch. The kids will play in the creek and catch salamanders and tadpoles that they will grow out into frogs. I will likely get tired and lie on a mossy northern slope, look into the blue sky and watch the buzzards soar on high, as the kids ride down trees for horses. Wle expect to find wild flo wers too. And perchance the sluggish snake that has come from his winter sleep. And wasp nests, the boys will want to fight any of them we find. A hornet’s nest, that would be a treat! If my knife is sharp, we will go by the cane braktfT Whis tles and water squirters will )e made for all. Skyrocket too will be fashioned from an easy cutting stick and guided on their course with broom straw tails. Buzzers will be And the boys will lie down made from a twig and a leaf, like an Indian and drink from a spring. We will locate the wild plum thickets, black haw bushes, black locust, and sand berries while they are in bloom. For we will need to know that when their fruit ripens in sea son. These and many other tan talizing whispers come to us from the out of doors at this season. Ears attuned to them can hear them plainly, and they are hard to resist. And I’m not going to resist any longer. For is is a half hour afternoon on Saturday. The rest of the day is ours. So a quick din ner, comfortable old clothes, a good walking stick, and we -'ill be off on a grand adven- vure. Get ready kids! EXPERT TREE WORK Trees removed, or trimmed.

MOON 703 POPE STREET PHONE 790J From Sept. 1, 1912 until Feb. 1, 1949 Tom Bowen served Pic kens county as county agent. On the latter date he retired, after 36 years and five montlfs of faithful and efficient ser vice, while still in apparent good health. A paragraph from his last monthly report is typ ical of the man: “Have spent considerable time this month getting ready to retire. As I have said be fore. it is with sad pleasure that I retire. Iwould like to say to my superiors and co- workers that is has been a great pleasure to have been associated with you these long years. This association has meant a great deal to me and my two sons, who have also been connected with the agri cultural work. “My hat is off to my present and former directors, and to my past and present district agents, whom I 'have always considered my superiors. I want to make this public state ment that I’m still interested in the agricultural work and program and my service can be attained yet if desired, specially in regard to the 4-H club work. I will still be available to give any assistance if so desired, to my successors, Mr Wood and Mr. Bedenbaugh. I also want to say I am grate ful to my co-\w>rkers in the office, specially 'to past and present secretaries, would like to hand each one a bouquet, for I owe most of my success to them, if I have made any success.” W’ith an attitude like that, we are not surprised that Tom wore so well with his people and was able to serve Pickens so long;. He loved his work. And, since he retired, I am told, he has been at home but few days. His public interest- is too large for Tom Bowen to draw into fhis shell and be come an old man.

But they do to the women, who must keep them. We men would soon re vert to barbarians anyway, I imagine, if it were not for the cultural and civilizing effect of the women. Miss Ruby Craven, extension home management specialist, with the assistance of a repre sentative of the sanding ma chine company and the local home agents, is putting on one day floor finishing demonstra tions in farm homes in many counties of the state. Farm folks come and learn to use the equipment that can be rented. Then they can do their own floors. Miss Craven points out that they are finding many beauti ful old pine floors that are bright and pretty after the dark paint of years ago is sanded off and they are finished in light varnish and waxed. At regular rates for hired la bor for doing a job of this sort, it is out of reach of many farm families But by learning how, renting the sanding ma chine for a while, and doing the work themselves, farm fam ilies can have the «cheer that J. B. Guess of Denmark seed ed a field of alfalfa last fall. It was looking mighty good When I saw it some weeks ago. It is by his pond and he plans to irrigate it.
