FLAG POLE POPPA
Charlie Lupica of Cleveland, who’s been sitting
on top of a flag pole more than two months, didn t
even come down when his son was born.
But, if he’s a wise father, he made sure all his
insurance was in order before he climbed that pole.

FARMS
l
AND
FOLKS
By J. M. Eleazer
Now on ’ ihe Farm
There is not much field work
on the farm for January.
Of course there is wood to
get to keep warm. Stovewood
to cut for next summer. Ditch
banks and hedge rows to clean
off. Yes, a lot of piddling jobs
to keep warm at. And there
is a lot of figurin’ and planning
to do too. For all must decide
just what is to be grown this
year.
The outlook, how is it for
what you grow? We usually
take that into account in plan
ning for the year. Maybe it
calls for a bit more stress on
this and little less on that.
Yes, the average farmer is
turning these things over in
his mind at this season. And
pretty soon he will have de
cided just what will go in this
field and what in that. And
whether there will be any
changes in the livestock and
poultry on his place. Financ
ing his plans for 1950 too will
give him concern now. And
if he gets that elsewhere, he
will be seeing about that. So,
when the time comes to hit the
fields he will be ready.
In planning for the new year,
everyone might do well to con
sider this. It looks like what
you have to buy will be high
and that what you sell will
likely be a little off. Realizing
this will make us cut corners
wherever we can. And then
whether that trend turns out or
not, we will be better off by
having done those things.
Belter Ginning, Belter Corn
Records show a vast improve
ment in the quality of ginning
South Carolina farmers are get
ting. Bob Bailey, county agent
of Richland, says one of his gin-
ners, C. M. Haithcock of East-
over, sponsored a cotton meet
ing last fall that was attended
by 400 farmers. The produc
tion of quality cotton and pro
per handling and ginning were
discussed. Clemson’s district
extension agent, A. H. Ward,
lead in these discussions.
Clemson’s Sam Williams is
available to help ginners get
the most out of their ginning
equipment.
A Great Crop
Lespedeza has done several
good things. It has put abun
dant hay on many a farm that
seldom had enough before. It
has furnished fine summer
grazing in many a pasture
where the picking used to be
short. It is holding our land in
place as much of it has never
been held before. And it has
added another substantial mon
ey crop to many a farm through
its seed.
The past year was a good one
for lespedeza ( while many oth
er crops were off. County Agent
Kearse of Saluda tells me that
B. C. Nichols and Sons harvest
ed 10 tons of clean Kobe les
pedeza seed from 35 acres last
fall.
February is the time to seed
this crop. It is scattered on
grain. Harrowed lightly, if the
condition of the land will per
mit. That helps the grain and
ties the seed down a bit so
they won’t float off when it
rains. Many folks put their
top-dressing down at the same
time.
I Like a Train
I don’t drive fast. But I
like a train, and will to catch
up.
It is a thrill to drive along
side and watch a great locomo
tive snorting along with a big
load. What power it has! With
smoke and fire tearing from its
stack, and steam bursting from
every seam, it drags a great
tonnage along the glistening
rails.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve
wanted to ride on an engine
and still do.
Streamlined Diesels are rap
idly replacing the snorting mon
sters of the rails. And I like
them too. How smoothly and
majestically they glide along
with great burdens! And if I’m
riding, specially at night, the
Diesel is far better.
But I do hate to see the great
moguls of the rails go. They
add something that we will
miss. And I’m still hoping to
ride one at full speed, with a
big load over a piece ©f road
bed that will make it snort its

loudest, as it drags its cargo.
Then I would like to tell you
about it.
4-H'ers Grown Up
Sumter had the best kept,
the cleanest and neatest live
stock and poultry show at their
fair last fall I had seen. And
I commented on it. County
Agent Bowen said: “Well, you
know what accounts for that,
don’t you? An old 4-H club
boy of ours is in charge of each
department.” •
I walked on around to see
who he was talking about. I
Knew the man well. Joe Brog-
don, who had won many 4-H
club honors, county , and state,
with hogs, and now a coming
young dairy farmer, was in
charge' of the hogs. F. M.
Johnson, Jr., who had done
well feeding out 4-H calves (1
state champion) and who also
now farms, was in charge of
the beef cattle barn. Although
they overflowed facilities with
fine cattle, he kept the neatest
show barn I have ever seen..
No one felt like they needed
evershoes on to walk in that
place. And over in the poul
try barn I found D. T. Kelly,
Jr., in charge. He was on the
state 4-H sweet potato cham
pion team of a few years ago,
and also learned much of poul
try in his 4-H experience.
And there you have an ad
vanced step of 4-H. What the>
learned in their club work as
youngsters, they are carrying
on and helping themselves and
their county. The agriculture
of a county and a fair can grow
with that sort of backing at its
disposal.
Four-H work is growing there
too. Assistant County Agent
Alston and the home agent had
over 700 of their 4-H’ers in
there to the Kiwanis 4-H barbe
cue that is a reward to those
who have completed their year’s
work.
