By T»d Kesting
If you do any hunting at all,
you’ve probably been in on one
of those conversations about
which is the tougher sport,
skeet or trapshooting. Jimmv
Robinson, one of this country’s
best known skeet and trap au
thorities, claims there is only
one way to compare skeet and
trapshooting and that is by
high averages on 16-yard trap
shooting targets, shot at scratch
against sill-bore targets at skeet.
At both sports, 12-gauge shot
guns are used to best advan
tage.
During the last 10 years just
one trapshooter, (Bill Harder of
Lincoln, Nebraska, has turned
in an average of 99 per cent
to win the national high aver
age. He averaged .9908 to take
the crown in 1940. During the
last 40 years just seven trap-
shooters have averaged 99 per
cent or better to win the high
average at trapshooting. The
high-average trapshooter last
season was J. Calvin Michael
of Aberdeen, Maryland, who
turned in .9880 on 2,000 regis
tered targets.
It takes 99 per cent or bet
ter to win the national all
gauge high - average skeet
crown. Freddy Missildine, Sea
Island, Georgia, copped the av
erage last year with .9910.
Mrs. Lela Hall, Los Angeles,
top woman trapshooter of all
times, paved the way for wo
men gunners last season with
.9551 on 4,500 targets, but Mrs.
Ann Martin, San Antonia, Tex
as, had a much higher average
at skeet. She won the skeet
honors with .9730 on 1,675
clays.
There are two other forms
of trapshooting—^handicaps shot
from 16 to 25 yards, based on
your known ability and 16-
yard average, and doubles tar
gets. J. W. Butler, Springfield,
Ohio, topped handicap shooters
last year with .9336 on 950 tar
gets, while Mercer Tennille,
Shreveport, Louisiana, turned
in .9646 to pace the trapshoot
ing doubles shooters.
The top professional all-gauge
skeet shooter in 1948 was D.
Lee Braun; Dallas, Texas, with
an average of .9940.
So there you have a com
parison on the high averages
of the two sports. Form your
own opinion.

SEEN ALONG
THE ROADSIDE
By J. M. Eleazer
Clemson Ext. Info. Specialist
I like to see:
A farm at sunset, with tired
folks and animals headed to
wards the house.
A farmer resting his bones
at the noon hour, lying on the
cool end of the front porch,
with an inverted chair as a
pillow.
The water of a great river,
moving majestically to the sea.
Fellows who still use pegs to
hold their pants to their sus
penders. #
Our mountains in the mad
mood of a thunderstorm, and
smoke rising from the cool vai
leys after the fury has passed.
A peaceful stream through
the pasture, punctuated with
splashes by naked kids who
dive in when they see dust ris
ing up the road.
A sweating and eager young
ster, plowing his 4-H Club
acre, and asking, “How much
do you think it will make?”
The benediction of the need
ed shower falling on wilted
crops, and I like to smell the
aroma of watermelons that
comes from a growing corn
field then.
A 4-H youngster go with his
county agent to the bank, pay
his note, make his first deposit
of money he has earned, and
go in to shake hands with the
president of the bank.
A thrifty and hard working
farmer apply himself diligently
to his soil and see plenty come
forth.
Mules in the pasture and
folks with their Sunday clothes
on headed for Church.
I saw the great boats of the
sea loading cotton of the South
and soy beans of the Mid-West
at New Orleans. And I saw
them pull out for the far
places of earth with their car
goes from our fields.
Looks like we will make 15
million bales of cotton this
year. We can use 8 or 9 and
may expect to ship about 4
million away in such boats.
That leaves 2 or 3 million.
Soy beans have grown into
a great Mid-Wlestem crop. They
are up against a similar thing
—making more than the world
distributing system can handle.
And with wheat, we use 750
million bushels, but make half
again that much.
In the case of our flue cured
tobacco, we use about 700 mil
lion pounds. But we make
over a billion pounds. That
leaves about 400 million pounds
that need to go out.
So we can see that farmers
are all tied up with the rest
of the world. If those far
places of earth can’t take our
stuff in the usual amounts, we
will feel it at Pamlico, Pom-
aria, and Pumpkin Town.
Yes, what the great boats of
the sea tote from our shores
has all sorts of meaning for us.
The past week was “Farm
Safety Week."
County Agent Alford of Col
leton told me of two fine boys
in one family being crippled
by the same farm machine at
different times.
It is very appropriate to talk
farm safety, for we need it
bad. The machine has come
to us swiftly. So we didn’t have
time to learn gradually.
The machine is a great thing,
and it looks so harmless. But
it has ten times the kicks of
the mule that many have just
discarded.
We knew from childhood
where the mules danger lay,
and we kept away from its
heels. We don’t know the ma
chine’s danger points so well,
and the innocent looking thing
is liable to take hold of us and
break a bone or grind us to
bits. But there is no use let
ting such things happen. Ig
norance usually causes them.
Like we did with the mule,
we must learn the danger
points of the machine so well
that we will just unconsciously
avoid them. Then they can go
on singing their songs of pow
er across our fields and bring
ing plenty to the land. Coun
ty agents have many farm ma
chinery schools. Care, main
tenance, safety, and operation
have been taught at these.
M!any more will be held. And
eventually we will know how
the machine kicks us and we
will avoid it, just as we did
the heels of the mule.
Quoted from a Washington
dispatch, “Indicative of the
growing world-wide interest in
better nutrition is the interest
being taken by the Republic
of the Philippines in the food
enrichment program at Clem
son Agricultural College, South
Carolina.”
Then it goes on to state that
an engineer of the Philippine
Public Health Service recently
spent some time at Clemson
studying our set-up for hand
ling corn enrichment. And it
further states:
“While South Carolina has
hundreds of small corn mills,
the Philippines have hundreds
of small rice mills. In one ex
periment the Philippine Public
Health Service enriched all of
the rice used in one area. The
result was a 30 percent reduc
tion in mortality from beri
beri (a nutritional disease).
“About a year ago the Phil
ippine Public Health Service
bought 24 of the Clemson de
signed and constructed enrich
ment feeders. They find these
machines well suited for their
small rice mills, according to Dr.
Lease of Clerson. It is prob
able that additional feeders
will be manufactured in Man-
illa.”
Thus the work of Clemson
reached out.
Sidney Wolff, the grower of
Landrace crossed hogs in Clar
endon, writes, “I have come to
the conclusion that what this
country needs most is a good
five cent nickel.”
No wonder. He had just re
turned from a ten-days stay in
the hospital.
When I was with County
Agent Evans of Lexington in
mid-June they were just start
ing their artificial breeding
work with dairy cattle. Their
Clemson-trained technician had
arrived, refrigeration and
equipment were installed, and
the calls for the service had
started coming in.
Just about the whole back
yard of John J. Roof of Lex
ington county is shaded by a
giant umbrella chinaberry tree.
It measures 13 feet around the
trunk.
Assistant County Agent Stone
of Cherokee saw this:
On the B. T. White farm a
bantam hen was setting under
a trough in the stable. The old
cat had kittens under there too.
The hen took up with the kit
tens and hovered them. The
old cat would go there and
nurse them, and the tiny kit
tens would go right back un
der the hen and wait until
next feeding time.
The Good Book says put
first things first.
The record shows that we
spend 40 million dollars a year
in South Carolina for liquor,
29 million for cigarettes, and
34)4 million on our schools.
Yet we often hear that we
are a poor state and can’t af
ford better educational facili
ties. But we seem to afford
plenty of liquor and cigarettes.
I once had to go into a li
quor store. Never felt so guil
ty in all my life. Felt like
everybody was looking at me.
But I didn’t come out with a
package. My business in there
was different.
Last year American farmers
broke all production records, up
41 percent from the 1935-1939
average.
The Progressive Farmer
points out that in 1820 each
farmer fed three persons in
this country. A hundred years
later, in 1920 each farmer was
feeding 13 people in the United
States.
In 1920 about two thirds of
the people in South Carolina
lived on farms. Now only
about one third of them do.
Our cotton acreage has shrunk
more than that. But not our
production. It has held its
own, a monumental fact!
All of this shows the grow
ing importance of the indivi
dual farmer. More and more
responsibility is carried by him
when more and more* folks de
pend upon him for what they
eat and wear. And his gener
al welfare becomes of growing
interest to all. When he had
to feed but three people, his
responsibility was not so great.
But now that 13 are looking
to him for food and clothing his
importance grows.
