And that’s the familiar story I hear as I go about. Whether it is a big pasture growing beef cattle, or a small one feeding the family cow, the story is the same. Good producticxn and economical feeding. And, folks, it looks to me like that’s going to build a livestock industry here. , By J. M. Eleazer Too Much Milk! Many of the improved pas tures over the state are on small farms. These have been making the family cow and the old mule happy. I was with County Agent Johnston of Horry and their SCS man, O. S. Kirkpatrick, on their winter pasture tour in March. On the farm of E. K. Lewis we .saw three good acres of fescue and Ladino clover that were seeded! the past fall. It was carrying his two milk cows and his bull, and you could hardly -tell it was being grazed. Mr. Lewis said, “We’re get tin’ so much milk ye don’t know what to do with it since we put ’em in here.” And only one of the cows was milk- Strawberry Time Spring brings many delights. And one of the chief of these is strawberries. I quite agree with the fellow who said he knew the Lord’s power was unlimited, and that He possibly could have made something better than a straw berry. But He never did. How do you like ’em -best? For me. I’ll take ’em this way. Pick ’em fresh and ripe from the patch. Wash and cap ’em. Cut the big ones in two and sprinkle heavy with sugar. Add thick sweet cream. Stir them and see that pink color come to the creamy aggregate. And then just stank back, and don’t bother me for a while! For I will be otherwise em ployed for the time being.

These clear streams run deep and silent through lowlands of rare tropical beauty. At many places they are inaccessible, are not fished out, and the lazy ga tor slides from a log with a splash, as danger approaches. Cypress trees grow from the water near their banks, and long streamers of moss wave from the branches in the breeze. On a spring day I can think of no more enchanted place than to sit and fish by one of those beautiful rivers, as eternity s waters move majestically by. Reward Comes At the recent State Stock Show at Florence I was glad bo see Charles Marshall, a 4-H Club boy of Sumter that I have long known, standing there at the head of a fine line of cattle with the Grand Champion on the end of his halter. I can well remember eight years ago, when he was a little keen fellow. He joined the 4-H Club then. And each season iince then he has been an in terested member. He always did a good job of feeding them out. Several times his animal was in the bop 10 of the show, and one time it was Reserve Champion But' he never became discour aged, and kept plugging away, in thq, /best 4-H tradition. And this year it was a thrill to see him at last hit the jackpot. His 1,260 pound Grand Champion Steer was bought by Harvin Packing Company of Sumter for 70 cents a pound. Figure it, $882! And he is not through in 4-H. County Agent Bowen tells me he has two more years in high school. “Making the Best Bet ter,” that’s the motto of 4-H. POLITICAL Announcements For Governor I hereby anounce my candi dacy for Governor of South Carolina and pledge myself to abide by the rules of the Dem ocratic party of South Carolina. THOMAS H. POPE FOR CONGRESS After giving a great deal of thought and consideration to the domestic and foreign affairs of our country, especially the fall of China and the ever increas ing threats of communism and socialism, I feel that I can be of service to the people of the Third Congressional district. The threat to every American citizen today is as real as at the time of Pearl Harbor. The only forces that can save our coun try are a revival of Christianity and a return to the principles of Jeffersonian democracy. As always, I will make a clean campaign and will fight to the finish. William Jennings Bryan Dorn FOR CONGRESS I hereby announce myself a candidate for re-election to the United States Congress, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic party. JAMIES B. HAfEE For Magistrate No. 2 I hereby anounce myself a candidate for re-election to the office of Magistrate No. 2 and pledge myself to abide by the results of the election. ROY D. STUTTS Boys Are Thai Way I came along about the time the old-time corn shucking were going out. But I got in on sev eral I can well remember. There was much meighborli- ciess among the small \ farmers of our Dutch Fork. They lived on the little ancestral farms whose worn thresholds told of generations that has passed that way. And sentiment abounded so thick you could feel it there. As soon as the com harvest was in, the com shuckin’s started. The night was set and neighbors invited. And usually a few of the closest neighboring women would go that morning and help with the cooking for the feast that followed it. If the farmer giving it was a- bit devilish, he would have a demi john of “One X Com” hidden out back of the bam, to the ut ter disgust of the ladies. Most of the men did not drink. But those that did soon got merry, and occasionally one wanted to start a fight. Men, women, and children sat around the com pile that was dimly lit by a lantern hanging from a rafter. Shucks were thrown back of them, the ears of com put in baskets and emptied in a clean comer. There wias much good natured bantering and joking. And the fellow who did not keep his nubbins cleaned up was ridden hard. An occasional red ear always appeared in the com we plant ed. These carried -great signi ficance. The fellow who found one could kiss the lady of his choice. Most of the young men and boys shucked frantically in quest of these. But I was not in that group. The urge was there, but not the nerve. I peeped in the ears I shucked before I bared them. And when I saw' a red one, I quietly slipped it back ' under th£ shucks behind me. When enough com for winter use was shucked, the work was over, for we didn’t want to carry shucked com into the summer, as insects bother that more. Then by torchlight there in -the backyard an improvised table was loaded with cakes, pies, stickles, etc. And when the eating began to slow down, the young folks would engage in a few running games, “tag” mostly. About 10:30 the happy event would break up and little groups disappeared in the dark ness down foot-paths and dim roads in all directions. And you could usually hear one of the men, who had had a little Ji- quor, yodeling across the hills home.
