THE NEWBERRY SUN
SEEN ALONG ROADSIDE
(Continued from Page 1)
Samples can be taken by far
mers but that’s rather compli
cated and he doesn’t usually
have the right sort of contain
er to ship it in. So the best
thing is to call in your local
inspector that Clemson main
tains over the state if you
should want to have a sample
drown. If you don’t know your
inspector your county agent
can put you in touch with
him.
Things are changing in the
woods.
During the winter I used to
ride a lot at night in the Low
Country. And unless it had
just rained, I would seldom be
out of sight of burning wood
lands.
During the winter I rode
largely in darkness there.
Folks are getting to where
they don’t want woods fires.
Ani when that happens they
do.i\ have many of ’em.
With proper forest manage
ment, folks are learning that
they can have a good and con
tinuous source of revenue from
their woods.
The State Commission of
Forestry and the Clemson Ex
tension Service work hand in
hand on better forestry for
South Carolina. They have
just gotten out two new cir
culars of interest to the wood
land owner. They are Circu
lar 333 entitled, “Marketing
Your Timber Crop,” and Cir-
<ular 332, “Thinning for Pulp-
wood.” They are available free
from your county agent or lo
cal state forestry office.
The South Carolina 100-Bu-
shel Corn Club!
That was organized the other
day with the 21 farmers in the
county cgrn-growing contests
over the state who made as
much as 100 bushels or over
last year.
Their average yield was 110.7
bushels per acre, F. J. Ayers of
Greenville being the high man
with 162 bushels per acre.
Three planted regular varieties
t f corn and th e other 18 plant-
i d hybrids. The average was
12,334 stalks per acre. That
means slightly less than a foot
epart in a four-foot row. Or
a little wider in the drill if
rows are closer.
This corn was rather heavily
fertilized as compared with the
usual practice. But it payed off
with a cost of 55 cents a bu
shel.
Many farmers are shooting
t that target this year. Let
• our county agent know if you
rre interested so he can help
you and check your yield in
the fall.
Late in the afternoon of a
recent March day I saw a great
<"'hina Clipper sail out to sea
‘hrough the Golden Gate at
£an Francisco.
Wlhat a sight it was!
Great man-made creature,
heading across thousands of
miles of ocean to the other
; ide of the world, with tons of
< i rgo! It stirred the imagina
tion.
It was sailing into the sun-
r et. Not many hours distant
would land in Hawaii. Then
1 iter it would find little specks
' f islands in the vast Pacific
ir another landing or two.
’"’hen the far places of the dis
tant East.
Yes, the great plane I saw
('isappear into the west would
I e tieing all of those points of
i arth together in the matter of
hours. Several dozen folks
were on board and much ex-
r ress and mail.
BILL ODOM, famejl pilot who visited
Columbia recently, is only one ot the
interesting guests who have appeared re
cently on the WIS "Sports Final" broad
cast with sports announcer Mike Gan
non (right). Gannon’s late evening pro
gram is heard at 11:05-11:15 PM over
Columbia's NBC atliliate.
I came home and saw a four-
row planter at work in the Low
Country. Two men doing the
work of 25 or 30! Wonderful
things happening here too!
Surely we are in the age of
speed, in the age of the mach
ine. It takes knowledge and
skill to leave the sail boat and
go to the skies. It also takes
knowledge and skill to go from
a man and a mule to the com
plicated machine that does the
work of many men and mules.
Machinery schools are helping
this. Clemson specialists have
held many out in the counties
with the county agents. Does
your county need another one?
If so, let your agent know.
The first 4-H Holstein Calf
Club that I have heard of in
the state has been organized by
th e county agent’s office of An
derson. Mr. Hopkins tells me
that they have 10 members
now with 10 good Holstein
heifers. They plan to have
some more. The Holstein breed
ers suggested this to him and
are cooperating in getting good
calves reasonable. They also
have 4-H Calf club members
who hae other breeds of dairy
calves.
“Blue mold of the most vio
lent type I have ever seen hit
our tobacco plant beds the past
spring,” says County Agent
Grainger of Clarendon. Some
farmers reported very severe
damage to the affected plants
from the fermate they dusted
them with, while others got ex
cellent control of the blue mold
and no damage at all from the
fermate they used. This lead
Grainger to the conclusion that
certain materials used to di
lute the fermate with simply
killed or damaged th$ plants,
while those used in other
brands of the mixed dust did
not hurt the plants at all and
gave good control of the di
sease.
What materials were used
in the fermate that caused this
trouble does not seem to be
quite clear yet. Some think
that possible it was old dust
that was carried over in the
mixed form from the year be
fore. But anyway, some of it
sure burned the plants up.

"POLITICAL MEDICINE”
lnnV*mrf

EuL
MOST OF THE tyrannies of the
world began first as acts of kind
ness and benevolence. It is inter
esting that self-styled “liberals”
of this modern age propose to
take us into bondage again, by
first offering the people security
of one kind or another. That’s
the gimmick by which the bureau
crats propose to perform colossal
feats of magic—and get elected
(and appointed) again and again.
These "securocrats” are ready
to trade anybody all the security
he’ll want, in exchange for his
freedom. An example is the latest
scheme for socialized medicine
being proposed in Congress,
under the false name of “com
pulsory national health insur
ance.” We have been told for
years that the nation’s health is
in an awful shape, that the
American people are a bunch of'
weaklings.
No Need MOST OF this
To Pamper ballyhoo has come
from the federal
agency that wants to supervise
and direct the medical care of
every person in the nation. This
is the Federal Security Agency,
the same bureau that once spread
the untruth that half the nation’s
young men were unfit to bear
arms in the recent war. Actually,
only about 6 per cent of all men
examined for the draft were re
jected for health defects that
could havp been remedied.
« Our nation is the healthiest na
tion on earth. It is far and away
ahead of any country that has
ever tried socialized medicine.
There are communities that could
use more doctors, to be sure. More
hospitals are needed. But the
FSA contention that half the pop
ulation cannot afford medical care
is pure bosh.
Who Pays IT IS SAID that
For It? right now at least
50 million persons
are insured against hospitaliza
tions and accidents. This means
that more than one-third of our
people have voluntarily provided
themselves with medical care
plans, without benefit of bureau
cracy.
It is a major tragedy of this
century that so many people have
been taught to believe that they
can get something for nothing!
Where will the money for all this
"security” come from’ You and
I. if we’re such boneheads, will
pay the costs!
It is estimated that you would
be asked to chip in to the extent
of $192 in taxes for national
health insurance. A payroll tax
on workers and employers would
have to bring $4 billion in to
Washington a year — at first-
Later, the overall cost of “secur
ity” is estimated to run about
$i2 billion yearly—only six years
from now. By 1990 payroll taxes
would run about 18 per cent!
That is only the beginning.
Some wise economists estimate
the eventual cost at 25 per cent
of the nationa4 payroll! The bill
will make necessary in the future
very heavy charges against the
general revenues of the Treasury.
Vast sums of money will be taken
from you and you. to support the
league of officeholders that a com
pulsory health insurance plan will
require. As for me, I don’t want
my medicine* from the bottle
marked “political.”
I KNOW SOMETHING
GOOD ABOUT YOU
Wouldn’t this old world be
better
If the folks we meet would say,
“I know something good about
you”
And than treat you just that
way?
I
Wouldn’t it be fine and dandy
If each hand clasp warm and
true.
Carried with it this assurance,
‘T know something good about
you.”
I
Wbuldn’t life be lots more hap
py
If the good that’s in us all
Were th® only thing about us
That folks bothered to reeall?
f
Wouldn’t life be lots more hap
py
If we praised the good we see?
For there’s such « lot of good
ness
In the worst of you and me.
j
Wouldn’t it be nice to practice
That fine way of thinking too?
You know something good
about me
I know something good - about
you.

FARM NOTES
Allan Murray says he’s not
going to tear up any more of
his machinery trying to work
steep land. Instead he is plant
ing this land to White Dutch
clover and rye grass to stop
soil washing and give good
grazing for his herd of 100
Hereford cows. Putting this
type of land to close growing
crops is in line with Mr. Mur
ray’s complete plan of soil con
servation.
Several Newberry farmers
continue their interest in farm
ponds. Fish for stocking these
ponds are furnished by the
Hatchery through the New
berry Soil Conservation Dis
trict. Bass for ponds of George
Epting, C. V. Boland and Thad
McCrackin, Jr., wer e delivered
last week. Bream were put
in these ponds last fall.
Buck Wicker got some of
the Bicolor plants which the
county got through the State
Game Department. He has a
conservation farm plan with
the local Soil Conservation Dis
trict which calls for field bor
ders. He has planted these bi
color seedlings and says they
are doing well and should pro
duce a lot of good bird food
by fall.
Pupils taking General Science
in the Newberry High School
write the term ppaper each
spring on “Soil Conservation.”
Miss Clare Henry, their Science
teacher, called on the local
Soil Conservation Service per
sonnel for assistance in giving
the pupils some information on
this important subject. Plan
were worked out for both of
Miss Henry’s classes to go to
the field to study soil conser-
sult the two classes made a
vation on the land. As a re-
first hand study on William
Ballentine’s farm where they
saw a number of conservation
practices actually conserving
the soil. Mr. Wise driver of
the Jalapa schools bus, furnish
ed the trnsportatibn for these
trips.
VETERAN OF 2 WARS
IS NOW 104 YEARS OLD
West Los Angeles, Cal., May
25.—Joseph C. Manning, vet
eran of the Civil and Indian
wars, celebrated his 104th
birthday with an observation
that long life is determined by
the will of God.
Manning affectionately known
as “Sarge Joe” to fellow pa
tients at Wadsworth General
Hospital in West Los Angeles,
said:
“There ain’t any set rule to
follow—it’s just God’s will”
He added:
‘The reason more people
don’t live past 100 is because
they spend too much time and
energy trying to follow rules
for longevity that are set up
by fellows who haven’t lived
long enough to have common
sense.”
Manning is an old cavalry
trooper whose only ailment is
“these pesky varicose veins,”
which didn’t prevent him from
demonstrating a few dance
capers to prove his spryness.
He says he’s “getting out of
here in June and going back
to my folks in Salt Lake City.’
There, he says, T can drink
what I want and smoke as
many cigarettes as I like.”
The centenarian still is able
to read without glasses and
vividly recalls dates and in
stances as far back as the start
of the Civil War.
