PINCKNEY N. 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.”

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.
