FARMS AND FOLKS Before marriage he talks and ’the listens; during the hon eymoon, she talks and he liste-iis; later they both talk and the neighbors listen. VOL. 12—NO. 18 + NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1949 + $1.50 PER YEAR By J. M. Eleazer During the recent Farmer’s Week at Clemson I walked to the Qalhoun mansion with some friends. And the oft’ ask ed question came up, “Why was this school named Clemson and not Calhoun. Years ago I wondered about that myself. Later I read his tory and found out. John C. Calhoun had no more to do with founding this school than I did, and it was already here when I was born. Thomas G. Clemson was born in Pennsylvania, educated in this country and abroad as a chemical and mining engineer, married Calhoun’s daughter in 1838, became very much inter ested in agriculture and indus trial education, and willed his plantation and some money to South Carolina for the estab lishment of such a school in the very early Nineties. The only connection Calhoun has with the establispient of Clemson was the fact that Clemson married his daughter a half century before Clemson, who had long been in possess ion of the Calhoun home, do nated it for the establishment of the school that beares his name. Clemson is indeed fortunate in that its campus embraces the plantation of its greatest states man,and his old mansion is still perfectly preserved there. But the great John C. Calhoun knows nothing about the exis tence of Clemson College, un less he could have looked for ward a half century from the time of his death and saw his son-in-law leave land and mon ey for that purpose. So Clemson it is, and all that it could in truth be. Homely Wisdom I like to read the sound and practical wisdom written down by old Benjamin Franklin. Lis ten to this from his ancient pen: “When you get in a tight, say your prayers at night, eat three good meals a day, and be courteous to your creditors.” And Audley Ward says: “One thing the matter with the world today is that we have forgotten how to use baling wire.” And Sidney Wtolff of Man ning says: “What we need to day is a nickel with five cents in it.” LITTLE ITEMS OF INTEREST ABOUT FOLKS YOU KNOW Weevil Controlled “The boll weevil can be suc cessfully and economically con trolled,” says County Agent Jackson after viewing their community in which all 140 acres of cotton had been pois oned right six times. A good crop is being picked there, while cotton around it is turn ing out only a fourth to a third of a bale per acre. “This is a year that will dem onstrate in no uncertain terms the value of poisoning,” says County Agent King of Dorches ter. Cotton properly poisoned is making a fair crop, while much of that unpoisoned is a practical failure there, accord ing to King. Quick Sweet Potatoes L. C. Breland of Colleton county set sweet potato sprouts out on April 1 and harvested them on July 1, according to County Agent Alford. Many farmers in the Low Country are making a run for that early potato market. Prices are generally good then, making up for the smaller yields. But if those early sprout potatoes were left later they might not turn out any more marketable potatoes. For early sprouts ar e usually used to get early vine cuttings from. And they make very rough po tatoes if left until fall. So sweet potato growers do as Mr. Breland did, dig them early. And his is th e earliest digging I have heard of. Alford didn’t day, but I’ll bet he got good money for them. South Carolina Leads We are a small state. Yet last year the cotton mills of South Carolina produced 41 per cent of the cotton woven good.-? in the nation. Our mills print ed and finished more than the next three states put together. They were Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. Clemson’s textile department works closely with this great development. Its graduates fill many technical and managerial positions in our mills. And the mills are endowing the college so that it can perform a greater service to the young men who get their training here. And they in turn can then better help advance the textile busi ness that grows in our midst. Boys Are That Way In the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork, where I was rais ed, we went barefooted in the summer until we were grown.

Out in midsummer, when the dewberry vines had finished their long new runners on the ground, we would have foot races through them. And by that time the bottoms of our feet had hard soles on them that ordinary briers could not phase. Once Zeke (my colored play mate) and I were racing through a big dewberry patch there below the house. I was leading him just a little until one of those long thorny vines caught on the top of my foot and pulled across my instep like a saw. It bled a lot and he and I picked small briers out of it for some time. But the bottoms of our feet could stand everything except the stoutest thorns that grew on “horn bushes” and the giants that spurted from the trunks of our honey locust trees. We respected these and tread light ly where they were. Next week let’s talk about the worst thing that came to bare feet stone bruises. We had ’em.

Swine Poor Williston, Sept. 14.—A live stock specialist said here to day that the Kinghan Packing Company of Orangeburg has found it cheaper to import hogs from Indiana than to buy in South Carolina. J. T. Graves, district live stock specialist told 400 farm ers that’s because the company has found South Carolina hogs suffer from parasites and bruises in many cases. He spoke at a swine field day at the farm of T. P. Pen der. Pender demonstrated the scientific methods he uses to raise hogs. He showed 200 barrows and gilts that had been farrowed only six months ago and were ready for market. Pender said he has been able to do that through sanitary methods, labor saving devices and a concen trated diet. An electric fan which keeps his barn cool allows the hogs to put on weight faster. He said he feeds his hogs only once a day on a diet mostly semi-solid dairy by-products. Eighty of his hogs sold to day to the Southland Provision Company of Orangeburg for an average of $225.25 a hundred weight. That was a premium of a penny a pound above the current market.
