ABRAMS Auditor Newberry County Has 3000 Members Sumter, January 16. — The South Carolina Wildlife Feder ation which is sponsoring a bill now on the senate calendar to create a game commission has 25 affiliated chapters through out the state. More than three thousand individuals, including the state’s best known natural ists and sportsmen are members of the federation, which has ex perienced steady and healthy growth since it was reorganized about three years ago. Herbert Ravenel Sass and Alexander Sprunt of Charles ton, Henry E. Davis of Florence Havilah Babcock of Columbia, and Verne Davison of Spartan burg are among the authors of books dealing with nature and wildlife who are supporters of the state federation. The sportswriters and newspapers of the state have wholeheartedly backed the federation in its ef forts to reform the game and fish situation and to educate the public to th e necessity of efficiently managing our wild life resources, and the functions and achievements of competent game departments. An enthusiastic and well-at tended annual meeting held in Sumter on November 15 at which Governor Browning of Tennessee told of the accom plishments made by his state as a result of commission con trol gave the movement a boost and a number of new affiliates have been formed or are under way. Officers of the state federa tion are Senator S. K. Nash, Sumter, president; H. R. E. Hampton, Columbia, vice-pres ident; James D. Blanding, Sum ter, secretary. Directors are Frank Wannamaker, St. Mat thews; Charles M. Brice, West Columbia; R. A. Stevenson, Richburg; Alex Quattlebaum, Florence; Jerry Settle, Spar tanburg; Pete Player, St. Charles; Stewart O. Brown, Clinton; Dr. Hubert J. Webb, Clemson; I. M. Bryan, Charles ton; Walker Floyd, Dillon; Jack Carroll, Lexington, and Sam Williams, Clemson. Everyone chides the fair sex on being great talkers. One of the most descriptive remarks I have yet heard was “She talks so much that the coat on her tongue is in tatters.” Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions CARTER’S Day Phone 719 — Night 6212 SHOES FOR PEANUTS When the radio .advertised shoe selling “for pea nuts, only three ninety-eight/' a California woman marched into the store and got a pair with 398 peanuts.

Eleazer Cottonseed Price Support County Agent King tells me that the government bought a good many cotton seed in Mar ion, even though that arrange ment came late. Seed were selling at $30 a ton when it started. The sup port price was $46.50. Thus the price for the remainder of the season was upped $16.50 a ton. A l<Jt of folks talk against government supports for farm prices. And I think we all re gret the necessity for them. But the laborer has protec tion in his minimum wage and job insurance or unemployment aid. The price of his product is ' the farmer’s wage. When that price goes on the rocks, it looks like good business for the government to step in and help stave off disaster. For all of the folks must eat next year too and a broke farmer can’t feed many people. NEWBERRY DISTRICT. BOY SCOUTS. HOLDS MEETING The Newberry District, Boy Scouts, held their regular monthly meeting on Monday, January 9, at which time L. L. Stanley, Scout executive of the Blue Ridge Council, Carroll Pitman, the Field Scout Execu tive for the Newberry district, were present. Plans were made to celebrate Boy Scout Week February 5- 12th. Chairman William R. Wise announced the appointed Com mittee for 1950 as follows: Leadership Training; C. E. Saint-Amand, Chairman; A. E. Moorehead, and J. V. Kneece. Camping and Activities: Lee Smallwood, chairman; W. F. Mullinax and R. M. Duckett, Jr. Advancement: J. E. Wiseman, chairman- Joe Simpson, Jr., and Roy Summer, Jr. Organization and Extension: P. K. Harmon, chairman; B. B. Bruner and Wm. Fennell. Finance: J. H. Clary, Jr., chairman, C. C. Hutto and Kir by Lominack. Health and Safety: Dr. El bert Dickert; chairman; Sam Beam, Colie Dowd and Joe Jen kins. Blair Rankin of Whitmire is Vice Chairman and Hal Kohn, Jr., is Commissioner for 1950. The next District meeting will b e held on February 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Wiseman Hotel. The District Goal for 1950 is to provide every boy in New berry County an opportunity to join a Scout Troop. Many Sec tions of the county are without Scouting today. Adult leaders are sorely needed to aid and assists m carrying out a larger Scout Pro gram. Remember, the Boy of today will be the leaders in our community years to come. The training a boy receives in Scouting will help him to be come a better citizen of tomor row. Irrigating Pasture Irrigating pasture has paid where I have seen it tried. When we prepare, lime, fer tilize, and seed it, we get graz ing then in proportion to the water that’s there. Additional water through irrigation just multiplies what you get from such a pasture. The county agent of Darling ton tells me that E. S. Howie has secured a portable irriga tion outfit to take care of his 13-acre pasture. As They See Us I write so much about the progress I see in our agricul ture that you might wonder if I see things through rose-tint ed lasses. To me it’s good to hear out siders on this same subject. In a feature article in a re cent issue of “Life” magazine it said this, “To Northerners— this new South is full of over whelming sights.” And it pic tured our farm and industrial change and growth. And the great aricultural writer, Louis Bromfield, writ ing in Country Gentleman, said “Today no part of the nation is growing and developing so rap idly. ‘ The South is becoming rapidly one of the nation’s greatest assests.” And, folks, that’s a cry far from “Economic problem num ber one” that we were called some 15 years ago. Some parts of our country that I have seen seem to have arrived, and slow decay has set in. Not so in the Southeast. We are just waking from an exploitative one-crop \ slavery, and natural advantages and op portunity beckon at every hand. Waste lands, all of a sudden, have become opportunities with trees and grass. And King Cot ton has gotten down in the ranks and is pulling with strong aids.. Th e good things like roads, electricity, and phones are headed for our by ways, and life in the New South is beating that of the Old. Quail in Cherokee Assistant County Agent Stone of Cherokee knew something about raising game birds. So the county delegation took some of their hunting license money and set him and county forest ranger, B. T; White, up pro ducing birds for , landowners who would equip themselves for raising and releasing them. They started it late in 1948 and hatched off 1,199 quail that season. The past year they hatched off 5,300 and put them out 25 little birds to the ihan. Stone says they raised some thing like 75 percent of them and they were released. The past year they added pheasants. They hatched out 525 and gave out 550 eggs that farmers set under hens. They found that they would stay with a hen, whereas partridges won’t. They also planted many thou sand lespedeza bicolor plants last winter. These made unus ually good seed crops for the birds the past summer, County Agent Lee tells me. And this winter they plan to put out a lot more. I asked Mr. Stone and Rang er White just how they put these birds out when they were ready to release. They said they released them near water and fed them a little there un til they got used to being out and hunting food. Boys Are Thai Way We weren’t good traders like on e family I heard of. The mother said her boys just came about it naturally. Their an cestors on both sides were good | • traders before them. Why, she said, her boys could go out in the woodshed on a rainy day, swap pocket knives ‘ among themselves, and come out with several dollars apiece. But we could go doWn to th^ barn on a rainy day, save wear and tear on the house' and on parents too, and have a mighty good time. We would play hide, build forts out of bales of fodder, catch chickens, and put them' to sleep by waving them around j with their heads under their wings, and so on. And it was always fun to cut notches in a grain of corn and tie a string to it. Then we would throw it out to the chickens. As fast as one would swallow it, we would jerk it back. We won dered if each one thought he had eaten that grain of corn. A good way to make a little corn go far, we thought. I was the smaller, and hid away up tmder the barn once, where the others couldn’t get. It was near Christmas, eggs were very scarce, and I found a nest up under there with four in it. I was thrilled, and did n’t plan to tell the other kids. Wanted to surprise the folks at the house. So I put them in my pockets and started crawling out backwards. It was the only way I could do, as I hati to go between the sleepers. On the way out I momen tarily forgot about the eggs and broke three of them. My, how those things did mess up my pockets. is® Hi For people to be good sports Is hard I must admit They laughed when I came out in my shorts But when I sat down, they split.
