BOWERS INSURANCE AGENCY f A. J. Bowers, Jr. . E. H. Bowman Miss Pearle Hamm FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. Eleazer Belter Chickens Egg production has been the aim of most poultry improve ment in the past. And science has done a lot in that dierc- tion. The egg production that has been built up in the mod ern laying hen is a far call from that of the wild jungle fowl of India, from which our chickens came. But as a meat bird, many of our best layers are little, if any, better than the wild ones from whence they came. In recent years science has tackled the job of giving us a better meat bird. This has been centered in “The Chicken of Tomorrow Contest.” Various poultry breeders are at work on the production of superior meat birds. Crosses and hybrids are being produced. And the results already make the average broiler look like an old crow in comparison. Entry blanks for this contest may be secured from Mr. Good ing here at Clemson. All en tries must be in to him before Feb. 15. And the chicks that are to be entered must be hatched between February 27 and March 4. Anyone may en ter. Winners will be determ ined when the state contest is held at Spartanburg the latter part of May. Each contestant takes a batch of his broilers there and they are judged be fore and after slaughter. Last yecir, when the contest was held at Clemson, I bought a batch of those superior broil ers and put them in our freez er. That sooiled us. And now ordinary broilers look mighty sorry to us when we get. to eating ’em. So it’s better meat chickens for the future, now that science has taken hold of that. Poison Pay The control of the boll weev il is such a problem, and there are so many ways of doing it wrong, that the Clemson Ex tension Service, in cooperation with County Agent Cannon of Laurens and the farmers of Hopewell community, put a man there the past summer to assist farmers in doing the job right from the beginning on a community basis. (Gracious, that’s a long sentence. I don’t like ’em.) There they tried hard to do everything right and on time. And all farms fought the weev il. So there was little weevil overlapping, and poison had a chance to show its stuff in sav ing a crop. It so happened that we had a bad weevil year. And this work had a chance to show what a community could do in controlling the weevil, if all worked together. Those 34 farmers had 2198 acres of cotton. The year be fore, Laurens county averaged 320 pounds of lint cotton per acre. The past year it averaged 230, which indicates the severi ty of the weeving in 1949. But let’s look at Hopewell community. In 1948 these same farmers averaged 393.5 pounds of lint. While last year, which was such a bad one all over the §tate and in the rest of Lau rens county, they came up with 420.8 pounds of lint per acre. They used very little more poison than other farmers. But they started about 10 days earlier, and did it as nearly right as the Clemson man could show them and weather would permit. And it was on a com munity basis. So most of them did not have weevils eternally coming in from adjoining fields where no ooison was used. Yes, these new poisons used right will hold boll weevils down. And that’s what we have been looking for for so long. Last year rot got a lot of tne cotton that was saved from the weevil. But that does not often happen. Of All Things I read where a farmer broke broody hens from setting by placing ice cubes in their nests. He said they would usually sit for a few minutes, soon go to squirming a bit, and then leave, in distrust and not come back. Boys Are That Way We always asked a blessing at mealtime. And all of the! 1 kids had to be able to, for they were often called upon. Once we had company, and they just happened to call upon my brother that time. By mis take, he started off on' the Lord’s Prayer instead. He tried to go back and get it right. But he and I got so tickled we had to leave the table. Sometime ago I was up in the woods of northern Maine. While sitting around a log fire there in Harry Umphrey’s lodge at the end of the road, he toldi us of a memorable visit he had a good many years ago with the late Cleveland Sanders at Ritter, down in Colleton coun ty. There he had received the last word in southern hospitali ty. A beautiful blessing he heard there impressed him and he re membered it. It went this way: “Some would eat but have no meat. And some have meat but can not eat. But we have meat, and we can eat. For which we thank the Lord,” And one in the party remem bered this one, in a very dif ferent vein: “Lord mak* us able to eat all that’s on the table. And if there’s any more in the pot. Bring it on while it’s hot. Amen.” OLIN CHANDLER NAMED PRES.
