Sorghum in Saluda
Grain sorghum has become
a rather general crop over Sa
luda.
County Agent Kearse tells me
it frequently makes more than
the grain it follows. And it
makes considerably more than
corn would, and they have the
same feed value.
It looks like this crop has
a place in our growing live
stock, dairy, and poultry busi
nesses. It fits in well, follow
ing grain, where you can’t
make corn. And it usually
makes more than you could
with corn there, even if the
land was ready for corn at the
right planting time. And that
would mean you couldn’t get a
grain crop from that land.
Sorghum is relished by all
sorts of livestock and poultry,
and a combine is used in har
vesting it.
Give and Take
What do you want from your
soil?
Usual!} it’s some sort of crop.
You could give the soil ferti
lizer, lime, seed and work. Then
it gives you the crop.
If you want grass from your
land, good grass that has “suc
tion” to it, the process is just
the same.
You g’ve you soil lime, ferti
lizer, work and send. Then it
gives you grass. And on grass
of that sort we are beginning
to build a real livestock indus
try. And on these prepared
pastures, we have winter grass
too!
Farm tours will be held this
winter to see them in many
counties. Your county agent
will let you know about it, if
one is to be held there.
Progressive Spirit
I made a talk to the Civitan
Club of Chesterfield the other
day.
One of the first, to arrive was
that grand old man of Chester
field, George K. Laney, as pro
gressive and youthful in out
look as ever.
1 hope I can be that way
when I get older. Too many
folks get sour and die mentally
long before they finally lie
down.
Mr. Laney was enthusiastic
in recounting the great prog
ress of farming in the Chester
field area. And he recalled the
work of the late W. J. Tiller,
who pioneered there as county
agent for many years.
I had last seen Mr. Laney
five years ago. Chesterfield
closed for 15 minutes at noon
during the dark days of the
war. And the folks assembled
at the theater for a* brief ser
vice of meditation and prayer
for the boys on the far-fronts
of the world. The county agent
and I joined them. And Mr.
and I joined them. And Mr.
Laney offered a beautiful and
fervent prayer at that time. It
was good to see him again.
In 1948-1949 4-H clubs of
Newberry County enjoyed a
most succesful and profitable
year with the wider and deep
er meaning and 4-H club mem
bers becoming more useful and
intelligent citizens of their com
munity.
During the past year the
Hartford 4-H club,, for boys was
organized. A total of five new
members was added to the or
ganization. Local leaders were
elected for each club in the
County and these leaders are
now available to promote con
tinuity and local interest in
club work.
The sale of flavoring extracts
increased the club treasury by
$74.10 making a total of $250.62.
$45.00 was awarded to the 4-H
Council by the Newberry Coun-
i ty Fair Association for a booth
at the County Fair on “Safety
on the Farm and in the Home.”
4-H clubs displayed initiative
and energy in the promotion of
health, engaging actively in the
County wide Rat Eradication
Campaign, aiding in the prep
aration of a Cancer Booth at
the Newberry Coivvty Fair, par
ticipating in the Cancer Drive,
onstration, A Dairy Foods Team
assisting with 20 fly spray dem-
Demonstration was presented at
the Spring 4-H Council Meet

County Fair.
An attractive booth consist

rangements, tomato booklets,
garden booklets, and school
dresses was set up at the New
berry County Fair. Twenty-
five 4-H club members entered
livestock at the County Fair
while 4 club members entered
livestock at the State Fair. Two
4-H club girls exhibited canned
products at the State Fair while
the County Dress Revue win
ner exhibited a dress. The
Newberry County 4-H Dairy
Calf Club sent representatives
to both the South Carolina Jer
sey and Guernsey Cattle Breed
ers association meetings. This
year for the first "time a local
livestock show and sale was
held. This show and sale was
sponsored by the Newberry
Chamber of Commerce and
built around the 4-H club pro
gram.
The fall county 4-H Achieve
ment meeting was held at the
Newberry County Court House
on December 4th with 102 par
ents and 4-H club members
present. At this meeting di
plomas and certificates were
presented and special awards
were made. On May 21st, the
County 4-H Rally Day Program
was held at the Junior High
Ceramic*
I like that word. Ceramics!
It’s the art of making things
from clay and baking them.
This state has some of the
world’s finest clays. We have
sold a lot of the clay. But we
haven’t done much in the way
of manufacturing things from
it.
The other day I stopped by
again to see the genteel old
potter by the roadside there
near Bethune, Guy Daughtery.
He was firing the kiln in which
a variety of his skilled handi
work cooked. And he showed
me something new. It was 25
pound balls of mud wrapped in

“What one earth do you do
with those,” I asked.
“Supply them to schools,” he
said.
“And what do they do with
them,’’ I asked.
“They use them in class work
teaching ceramics,” he said.
Well, I was glad to hear that.
He knows just how to mix
mud for such use.
And in the past they had
trouble witii it drying out be
fore they could use it. In the
cellophane it keeps just right.
Clemson is building a real
ceramics department under the
leadership of Professor G. C.
Robinson. In the short time
he has been here, he has built
up an interesting story.
Riches from the earth! That’s
where it about all comes from.
And with us those riches have
never been fully explored. And
this is one of that sort, ceram

Boy* Are Thai Way
My brother was a hunter,
liked bird dogs, and we always
kept a few. I never was much
for hunting. Guess I was too
lazy, for that’s hard work.
One Christmas he induced me
to go with him and Cousin Ed.
I carried a gun. But never
killed a bird. I soon got tired,
walking up hill and down hill,
and slipping back on the pine
straw, that I was seldom up
there when they flushed the
covies.
We left early that morning,
and soon I was about lost away
out towards Hilton. About 11
o’clock we came out to a road
that I knew. So I hit it for
home, and rested the balance
of the day there before the
fire eating Christmas goodies.
Just before sundown they
came in, loaded down with
birds. That morning we had
only covered a fourth of a two
mile circle around home, and
I could hardly put one foot be
fore the other one, I was so
tired. But they went on and
covered the other three sec
tions of that circle that day
and didn’t seem to be specifi
cally tired at all. It was a
puzzle to me, how they did it.
But I guess if I had liked it
as they did I wouldn’t have
tired so either.
I’ve learned to know this, if
you like to do something, it
loses the flavor of work. And
you’re awful fortunate when
your regular occupation falls in
that class. Mine does.
