Master Homemaker Active In Council For twenty-one years the Master Farm Homemaker’s idea and ideals have survived for they were rooted so deeply in a conviction that sound and gracious living deserves re- congnition. The idea was originated by Dr. Van Wallace, editor of the Farmer’s Wife Magazine who had the inspiration of recognizing and honoring outstanding farm women. In 1928 five women from each of twelve states were recognized as being outstanding, homemakers. Recognition con tinued actively until 1931 when the movement was discontinued. In 1938 the Council of Farm Women, with the home de monstration department co operating, sponsored the move ment and five new master Homemakers were recognized at Winthrop College. Thirty six women in South Carolina have been recognized. These Master Farm Homemakers of South Carolina are organized in an association known as the State Guild of Master Homemakers and is affiliated with the National Guild of Master Farm Homemakers. Newberry County was honor ed to have Mrs. T. L. Crooks of Pomaria recognized as a Master Farm Homemaker of 1949. Mrs. Crooks is a very active worker in her home and Community. Quiet, and modist in her manner, she does well whatever she undertakes. She uses her vessatile talents in many ways. Not only is she an efficient homemaker, and ideal helpmate and companion to her husbon and a devoted mother to her two children, but she finds time to serve efficiently and well in her neighborhood. She is a very active worker in her church, an officer in the HD club, a substitude teacher in the Pomaria School and has served as president of the PTA of Pomaria School. The Crooks have a lovely farm home, which has recently been remodeled and painted in side and out. The kitchen is equiped with the latest kitchen equipment. The view from her kitchen window'- is a perfectly beautiful rural scene. The home is also equipped with a modern bath room, and an electric sewing machine. Their main source of income comes from cows and hens. They raise their own pullets and sell the eggs. They also have a nice herd of cattle and farm mainly with the idea of feeding their cows and hens. Before her marriage Mrs. Crooks was Annie Laurie Har mon of Pomaria. She attended the rural school in her Com munity and graduated at New berry College. Before her marriage she taught at New Hope Zion school. SEEN ALONG THE ROADSIDE By J. M. Eleazer Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist Little local industries! I was riding with County Agent (Evans of Lexington. I wondered if he were not lost back there in the sandhills. I was. About seven miles out we suddenly came to a pretty good-size building. Nearby was the modest farm home, with good garden, patches, orchard, chickens, cows, hogs, and all of the little things that make for good living among the Dutch men of my home county of Lexington. But what could that rather large warehouse of a building mean away out there. It was the basket factory of Harold D. Roof. Of all things, a basket factory out there. He has an up-to-date little plant. I saw three local men working there besides Mr. Roof himself, who is foreman. He was running a poplar log through the machine cutting it into basket handles. The whole process perhaps took 10 min utes, and my the basket han dles! All of the other labor consists of local girls, whose deft fingers make baskets fas ter than any man has been able to do. His pretty daugh ter, in her late teens, has grown up in the business with him. She is bookkeeper and regular worker at basket making. The capacity of this little plant, that has been running for a good many years, is a half-million baskets a year. And a sturdy basket it is that they make for temporary use. The poplar log he was cutting when I was there came from his own woods, but he buys a lot of his logs too. Likely the half-bushel or peck (handle- basket you buy peaches in this summer came from this little plant out there in the sand hills of Lexington. He was getting out a truckload of bas kets for a peach grower in Spartanburg when I was there. And many of his baskets go to Georgia. Here is what a little ingen uity and the tenacity of a hard hitting Dutchman can do in a specialized field away out on a small farm. Lexington has much of this. Mr. John Bedenbaugh raises canaries as a major industry on his small farm. He gave his boy a pair of rare ornamental birds of another sort that he raises too. And the boy has banked over $200 from them in a year. And there is old Mr. Smith, who still makes excelsior on his picturesque water-powered outfit. And another small far mer who has raised thousands of goldfish for many years. I forget his name. And Walter Rawl, who has made the once poor sandhills bloom with a major farming industry enter prise that embodies a large cannery, extensive orchards, and a cattle industry, is one of out Dutchmen of Lexington too. I just couldn’t help bragging a little about the folks down home. One of the finest gardens I have seen was there by the home of Marvin Rahn in Col leton. He worked it with the tractor entirely. Surely, abun dance was there! I didn’t get to meet Mrs. Rahn. But I’ll bet she makes him plow it. For most men just get mad when they have to go in those short garden rows to work. The old mule used to step all over things when I had to plow the garden. But this tractor garden had ample space left at the rends of the rows to turn. And that was kept perfectly clean too. There has been no letup on livestock in the Low Country. Although this is sort of off season for heavy livestock mar ketings, the auction market at Ehrhardt has sold over $40,000 worth of hogs and cattle in their weekly sale the day before I was there. And that was just about an average sale for them at this season. Back in the fall and winter its weekly sale often ran to $100,000 and above. And what a corn crop they have down there! It looks nearer like what you see in the Corn Belt than anything I ever saw in South Carolina before. That “new look” has spread from the demonstrations the county agents have been putting on until now most of the corn is that way. Better preparation, closer rows, thick er in the drill, better seed, high er fertilization, and less s and shallower cultivation is the new recipe for increasing corn yields economically. And all of this better com means bigger sales at our live stock markets. Back in the sandhills of Lex ington I discover new and in teresting things even’ time -I go down in there with County Aigent Evans. I was raised on the other side of the river and never ranged over in there. But I always feel at home there, for they are just like our folks over in the Dutch Fork. On light rolling sandhills, where less thrifty folks would starve, they work hard and live well. The other day ther we stop ped by the farm of C. T. Rawl. He and his sons, Kenneth and Joe, have one of the finest small herds of Duroc hogs I have seen. Their fine boar was won t)y Joe at the State Fair fall be fore last for the best show record with Durocs. He also won as the best showman and for having the best fitted ani mal in the 4-H department. Last fall Joe repeated his tri umph and again took home the fine Duroc pig offered by J. L. Beckwith of Blythe- wood. On the Confederal monument i in Lexington are the names of 558 yqung men from the county who fell in that conflict. Wte read of Germany’s lost manpower and the surplus of females there now. Few now realize that such an unnatural thing existed here 85 years ago. For, in the population of Lexington county that ex isted then when you take over a half thousand of its strong est men out of it at once, a staggering loss has surely been suffered. The pure insanity and utter futility of war! Yet the Good Book says there will be wars and rumors of wars. It is a pity that it couldn’t just stop wish the “rumors.” We were looking at a test County Agent Alford of Colle ton put on with chlordane un der cotton against root lice on the John C. Crosby farm at Sniders. One pound of chlor dane had been put in the 400 pounds of fertilizer per acre that was applied under half the cotton. The rest of the field had a like amount of fertilizer without the poison in it. A farmer in the group said, “This is a costly experi ment.” We asked him what he meant. H ereplied, “Leav ing all of the balance of the field without the poison." As far as the poisoned fer tilizer went, the cotton was Several farms in Cherokee were irrigating peaches when I was there in mid-June. In the beautiful Caggiano orchards they were using one of those big nozzles that covered over three acres at a time.. They were bringing the water about a half mile and raising it 185 feet with a booster engine about half way. H. C. Moore has a small sprinkler outfit that he used on peaches and com, getting his water from a creek and a farm pond. W. J. Sprinkle has the per forated pipe sort of irrigation outfit that he uses in his or- ^ PAGE FIVE SEAMEN ADVISED TO FILE CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS Jas. Julian Bush, executive director of the South Carolina Employment Security Commis sion advises all unemployed seamen who served aboard ves sels operated for either the War Shipping Administration or the Federal Maritime Com mission to continue to file claims for benefits although the Federal program under which seamen’s benefits were paid expired on June 30. “Congress is now considering legislation that will extend the seamen’s program to June 30, 1950,” Mr. Bush stated. The Commission will hold all seamen’s claims filed after June 30, and, if and when the Fed eral program is extended, pay ment will be made on those claims meeting the eligibility requirements of the Federal law as soon as the necessary funds are made available to the Commission. chard and gets his water from his pond. E. L. McKown has the small sprinkler sort and uses it on his grazing, getting water from a creek. G. E. iMcKown has the big nozzle sort like the Caggianos, uses his on grazing and silage corn, and gets wa ter from creek and pond. L. B. Clary there in Chero- sort, irrigates peaches, and kee too has the large nozzle gets the water from a creek. W. B. Camp and Sons have a big nozzle outfit for use on extensive pastures. Their wa ter comes from streams.. And so this new thing of ir rigation gets well started in Bill Camp’s home county. He is the South Carolinian who has done well in California, and now he and his boys, all of whom were educated at Clemson, have endowed Clem son for the safe and sane pro motion of irrigation over South Carolina. Similar progress is noted at other places too, as I go about.
