I ATTEST; Mrs. Aliene Sweeney, City Clerk. Corporate Seal, Aged Should See If Beneficiaries The latest available figures show that as of June 30, 1949, there were 488 persons in New berry County receiving ovei $/0OU monthly in Old-Age and survivors Insurance payments. These payments are made to aged retired workers in com merce and industry and to their unmarried children under the age of 18 years. Wives of these insured workers also re ceive monthly payments when they reach their 65th birthday. 157 retired workers are receiv ing $3256 per month in New berry County. Of this num ber 41 have wives who are at least 65 and they are receiv ing $437 monthly. A large proportion of the to tal benefit payment goes to the survivors of deceased workers who were insured at the time of death. 65 widows and par ents of deceased workers are currently being paid $1050 montniv while 224 children re ceive $2275 per month. There are others who may be entitled to similar benefits re siding in Newberry County, but since payments cannot be made until an application is filed some benefits are being lost by otherwise entitled persons. All families who have lost a member by death are urged to contact the Social Security rep resentative on any Tuesday morning in the Court House if that deceased person held a so cial security card and had done any work on jobs covered by the Social Security Act prior to his death. Likewise, all persons 65 or over who have done any work on jobs cover ed by the law should contact this representative immediately when they stop work. The on ly way to prevent loss of ben efits is to file an application promptly.

Now we are beginning to make a crop out of it. And this is not just a flash It is a full-fledged change Oj far-reaching proportions. Listen to County Agent Wil lis of Chesterfield: “Chesterfield county farmers are swinging from row crops to grass farming, as indicated by the requests for assistance in seeding winter pastures. An other indication of this was the 400 farmers that packed the courthouse for the forage school in September.” Such full-day schools were held in 36 counties, according to Clemson’s H. A. Woodle, in charge of extension agronomy work. And grass, good grass, year around grass has much mean ing. But I won’t go into that now. Fairfield Has It And talkin about grass farm ing, Fairfield is already well along with it. I have told you about it before. For miles you can ride over there through beautiful rolling pastures with good cattle in them. For years the veteral county agent, R. H. Lemmon, was talking grass and cattle there, long before the present general awakening was started over the state. Back in September they held their annual fall sale of spring calves. The 452 head sold that day brought $42,248. And, of course, the cattle farmers of Fairfield sell regularly on the Columbia and other markets all along through the season. The calves averaged 477 pounds each, netting $93.47 per head, according to Assistant County Agent E, V. Ragsdale. Trees Too County Agent Ezell of New berry reports an attendance of 186 farmers at their communi ty forestry meetings. “These meetings were for the purpose of launching a tree-planting campaign,” he says. Grass and trees! An awak ening to them is one of the most significant things to hap pen on the farms of South Car olina in a very long time. And the full meaning of this is pleasing to contemplate. Lespedeza To Coast Gradually lespedeza has ex tended its domain from the red hills of the up-state to the level lands of the low-country. County Agent Jackson said it turned out an average of about three tons of hay per acre in Williamsburg. And I have seen it growing profusely on down in sight of the ocean. For hay, soil building, soil holding and grazing lespedeza is a great crop. The past year, Allendale had 12,000 acres of blue lupines for soil building and seed produc tion. This fall, County Agent C. B. Searson says, the acreage to lupines has been about dou bled. And that’ll make over 20,000 acres! Now, folks, that’s getting somewhere with a winter cov er crop. This crop is going strong there for two reasons. First, it is a fine soil builder. And second, they can easily harvest their own seed. Searson says that a good crop of lupines turned under at the right time is equal to just about all of the nitrogen a crop can use. In fact his tests show that you have to put a lot of nitrogen there before you can detect any difference from it. (Most of our fertilizer money goes for nitrogen. When it can be grown like that with a win ter legume, and-permits cotton or corn to follow it, no wonder Allendale, Hampton, and Barn well counties are really putting in the lupines. Unfortunately this crop is suited only to the extreme southern part of the state. FOR SALE—Baled Corn Shucks $10.00 per ton at the Mill. Spartan Grain & Mill Co. 3tc My, What a Morning! It was a winter day, but my what a morning it was in Charleston. It had rained the night be fore. The sun came up in a bright and cloudless sky. It was shirt-sleeve weather, and a mockingbird was as thrilled as I, as it filled Marion square with music, from its perch on the flagpole of the Old Citadel. Calhoun, on his high pedes tal there in marble, seemed to scent the fullness of this morn ing too. As his open cloak flared from his shoulders, he looked, with dynamic power, down on the beauty of the his toric city below him. And across the street the sabre-like spire of St. Matthews Church pointed away into the clear blue of that marvelous morning. RECORD SET FOR DEATHS IN AIR ACCIDENTS The crash of an American airlines plane at Dallas, Texas last week raised the death toll from major civilian and mili tary air accidents since late October ’to more than 200. 28 were killed at Dallas. It has been one of the worst periods for aviation in peace time history. On October 31, an Eastern Air Lines plane and a P-38 fighter collided near Washing ton, killing all 51 passengers and crew of four. Three days - earlier, a P,:ris- New York transatlantic liner crashed in the Azores, killing 48. On November 20, a Dutch mercy plane ferrying Jewish refugee children from North Africa to Scandinavia crashed near Oslo, Sweden. A 12-year- old boy survived but 34 others died. The U. S. Air Force, plagued by a series of trashes, took some of its B29 Superforts out of the air for overhaul. Two B29s collided in a mock bomb rush over Stockton, California on November 16, killing 18. Also on November 16, a B-29 was forced down on the Atlan tic near Bermuda. The crew men were found three days la ter after one of the most ex tensive peacetime searches, but during the search another Sup erfort crashed into Tampa bay, killing five. Other disasters involving the million dollar B29s included: November 3—Weather obser vation plane crashed into sea off Bermuda, 11 dead.
