FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1950 m THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS AND FOLKS — 1 ■ TESTING POISONS There are a number of dif- irent insect poisons on the rket. And there are various binations of these so as get different insects they are for in one shot. Some of p e ingredients are rather expen sive. With so many effective poisons and combinations of these that science has uncovered in recent years, it is a bit confusing at times to know just which to use for what. But Clemson endeavors to keep us all straight on this. Each season the definite recom mendations are made up and furnished free to all through the county agents and otherwise. I have heard farmers wonder if the poison they used was any good. Maybe they didn’t use it right, or used it under very un favorable conditions, and didn’t get the desired results. You might wonder what protection the farmer and the manufactur er alike have in such a case. Clemson collects samples of all sorts of poisons and tests them. They are not only tested to see if they have the ingredients claimed in them. But they are also tested to see if they will kill the insects they are suppos ed to kill. The big thing in this line is the boll weevil and the posion put out to kill it. Clemson grows cotton at all stages at all times in the greenhouse, and in the field, in season, to test the poisons on. They put live weevils on it, poison it as directed, put a cage over it and see if it kills the weevils in the right time. Be it said to the credit of the manufacturers, up to this writ ing all samples have measured up. This is a protection to both the farmer and manufacturer. The farmer can have confidence in the poison he buys. And the reputable manufacturer is pro tected against anyone that might be tempted to put out inferior materials and undersell him. KILLING BILL BUGS Up to now the bill bug has been a hard test to handle. Crop rotations were about all we had. Now County Agents Gray of Darlington, Bailey of Richland, and Goodyear of Dillon tell me they got good results against bill bugs on corn by using the chlordane in the fertilizer under it, as County Agent Hubbard of Bamberg started three years ago against wireworms. The latter practice is now gen erally followed by most farmers in the wireworm areas. It will be good news to many a bill bug in fested area to hear of the results they report against that pest with pound of chlordane per acre in the fertilizer. And Gray told me of a iase where the farmer didn’t get this material under his corn and the bill bugs were flowing in from an adjoining area, killing the corn along that edge of the field. He hopped in there and dusted it with BHC. The next day you 'Sbuld find dead bill bugs all oven the ground there, according to Gray. We live and learn. Yes, learn new ways. them too, and the new things w'on’t hurt us. And around every farm there are common dangers that should be removed. During this week last year many of the 4-H Club groups over the state made com munity surveys and had accident hazards removed. And in Colle ton county all agencies conducted an intensive campaign through the schools. To start with they w^ere shown a safety film by County Agents Alford and White. It pointed out many common dangers usually overlooked. Then cross-bones placard makers were prepared and furnished the chil dren to mark the dangerous things they could find on their home farms. These varied all the way from old open wells there in the tall weeds to jagged broken glass that might find a bare foot, and from a broken round on a ladder to loose baling wire that might trip someone. Farm Safety Week! Yes let’s check up and avoid being sorry later on FARM SAFETY WEEK The week of July 23 has been declared National Farm Safety Week. How appropriate! With the coming of the machine and electricity to the farm, hazards have been added. But not necessarilly so, if we understand these new gadgets. We all knew which end of the mule kicked and avoided expos ing ourselves to it. Both elec tricity and the machine are dan gerous at spots too. We have those to learn. Then respect Fond recollection takes me back to June, when blackberries were ripe. And even a bit be fore that, in late May, the wild dewberries started coming in. We kids used to pick them from the ditch banks, hedge rows, and old fields. We would eat the large lush ripe ones un til they no longer tasted good and our mouths were stained scarlet. Then they accumulated faster in our bucket, and soon we had enoungh for our mother to make a “family pie” with. Now folks, there are all sorts of pies, but a “family pie,” as we knew it, was different. De lightfully different! They rolled out two rather thick crusts, spread one over the pan, piled the fresh-washed berries in, and then put the other crust on like a canopy and pinch ed it down to the other one at the edges. This was baked like any other pie, although without any sugar or butter seasoning in it. Jt watf taken out of the stove when done and allowed to cool. It was inverted on a large platter. The botton crust was on top then. It was cut out around the edges, and all of the cooked berried taken out. They were sweetened and stirred into a delightful red dish-pink mass with thick sour cream. Then half of this was poured back into the crust, the circle of crust that was cut then put back in, and the other half of the berries and cream poured on that. We then served that delightful dish in soup plates, it was so gooey. And, man, you talk about good eatin), that was it. My sister still fixes it, and I feast on it yet there are times. It is one of the things that still taste like it did when I was a kid. VOTE FOR COMMENTS ON (Continued from Page 4) years in developing the dye stuffs industry in the United States before profits offset ac cumulated losses, while nylon required an expenditure of $27 million from 1928 to 1940 before the sale of the first pound which was made in a commercial unit. That these technological pro jects involve great risks is in dicated by the fact that one of the largest firms reports that only one out of twenty research undertakings is successful. It is estimated that about 50 per cent of total employment in this country is based on products which came from research lab oratories. It is true that in some fields three or four firms account for a large proportion of output of a particular product. But this does not mean, as is held in some quarters, that thiq results in limited opportunities for small business. Take the automobile industry as an ex ample. Three firms account for 85 percent of the automobiles output of the entire country. But the automobilie industry in the making, selling, servicing, and driving of motor vehicles employed nearly nine million per sons in 1948, or about 15 per cent of those gainfully at work. There are more than 600,000 small business places as automo- Ben F. Dawkins FOR MAGISTRATE District 2 He is a man of sound judgment and experience, having served as Magistrate from 1937 through 1944 and as sheriff of Newberry County from 1945 -through 1948. I am unable to see all of you person- all, <but want you to know that your support will be appreciated.. I promise to fulfill the duties as magis trate fairly at all times. The office of magistrate re quires a man of experience and judgment and is an important office to fill. Vote for Ben F. Dawkins who has all the qualifications to make you a good Magistrate. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS ... as an American? READ "GOOD CITIZEN” a series of 10 articles STARTING TODAY live enterprises, enterprises, and these are found in all parts of the country. It would appear that the Gov ernment agencies either do not understand the workings of the American system or are raising false issues for the purpose oi' extending bureaucratic power. If large business enterprise is brok en up, the government will gobble up the pieces and incorporate them in Government corpora tions. The consequence would be a large and dangerous concentra tion of both economic and politi cal power with its blighting and crippling influence. This would speed the way for state social ism, from which there would be no recourse. In this zeal for reform let us not strike blindly and pull tht temple down on our heads. Let us preserve what is good in the present order, eliminate abuse wherever it appears, regardless of size, and establish intelligent and reasonable regulations.” Size has its strong points: if a power company were a one- town enterprise it could not maintain a staff of experts and skilled field men ready to go anywhere as need requires. I am glad that we have a neigh borly attitude and a cordiality which is growing. The recent rate given to the Coops by the South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. does not include all Co-ops since many Coops are served by other Companies. But rapidly all the questions resolve them selves in pleasant understanding, as we see that all of us are working in good will. INVITATION TO BIDDERS The City of Newberry, S.

READ THIS And you will see why the Democrats of South. Carolina are going to S&nd Sthum Jhwwwnd to the Senjcdta! «excerpts from Governor Thurmond's Campaign Speech, Greenville, S. C. t June 29, 1950) v -a At the outset of this campaign, I made my position clear on matters relating to the national defense and our foreign pol icy. I pointed out that no function ot the United States Senate is more important than the pert which it plays in shaping and handlina our foreign affairs. In vlaw of developments in Korea I want to discuss with you briefly the international situation as I see it. WARNED AGAINST SOVIET AGGRESSION As far back as the National Governor? Conference at Salt Lake City in 1947. I have warned against Soviet aggression and called for a strong hand in dealing with Communism. The then Secretary of State George Marshall addressed the Governors in Salt Lake City and told us in confidence some of the difficulties he was experiencino in his negotiations with the Soviets. The <trono position I took in my address at th** National Governors Conference attracted nation-wide attention because at that time f< »w public officials had advocated a tough f or»ion policv in dealing with the Soviets. ft mv service in the last war and study ;n+o>-nA+?r»n‘»l affairs tauoht me one thino it was that Stal*n and his Politburo respects onlv power. There was no other course for this country to pursue but to call a halt to Soviet aogression. We must be pre pared to take whatever risk there is i r J «*ewinn a line and telling Russia if yo” —— tb^t fin® w* will fight. OUTLINES SUPPORT OF MARSHALL PLAN In my opening speech ot the campaign at Lex- ngton I made it plain that regardless of our dif ferences on domestic issues, we as a people must be united in our dealings with the outside world. In my speech over the radio on May 30 in ex- olaining my support of the Marshall Plan and dis cussing the grave international situation, I said: "Regardless of differences on domestic issues, partisanship must stop at the water's edge in shap ing our foreign policy. I believe that our foreign policy should be truly bi-partrsan so that every man and woman in America will feel a personal re sponsibility for it." The President ot fhe United States must realize that in these critical times we must have unity in this country. We cannot have unity if the Presi dent is going to play cheap petty Pendergast pol itics with his high office and refuse to invite the Governors of two Southern States to a White House function just because he does not like Strom Thur mond and Fielding Wright because they led the fight tor Southern Democracy in 1948. * We cannot have unity in this country if the President is going to continue to appeal to the minority bloc votes in doubtful states oy trying to stuff down the throats of our people a program which we know will destroy our way of life in the jouth. ARMED FORCE MIXING THREAT TO UNITY We cannot have unity in this country, and the Presiden 4 will weaken our national defense, unless he forgets about the minority blocs in the next election and withdraws his program to break down segregation in the armed forces and compel South ern white boys to serve, eat, and sleep together with negro troops and also use the same recreation al facilities. We cannot have unity in this country it the President is going to pay more attention to the minority blocs demanding civil rights legislation than he is to the real Democrats in this country who are fighting to preserve Constitutional gov ernment and home rule. It was shocking to me yes terday to read thaf in New York the Civil Rights Congress a propaganda organization designed to break down segregation in the South, switched a rally in Madison Sguare Garden from civil rights to "a mighty peace demonstration against Wall Street Intervention in Korea and the far East. Among those leading the demonstration for a "'Hands Off Korea" policy was Paul Robeson, the neoro sinoer, who has been going all over this country demanding that we abolish segregation, and to show his contempt for our way of life in the South he married his son off to a white girl. CAUSING DISCORD WHEN UNITY NEEDED Can the President ot the United States be so blind that he cannot see that by all ot his agitation for civil rights, and sending his minority blocs into Southern States in an effort to dominate our pri maries. that he is brinaino about discord at the very time we need unity in this country? In all sinceritv, ladies and oentlemen, I believe as a member of the United States Senate I car make such an appeal as I am making to you tonight and build public opinion so strong that the Presi dent will be forced to withdraw his civil rights pro gram. W ^ iM-t m * c mm m m m mm: Governor Strom Thurmond I am sure that what happened in Florida anc North Carolina has already caused some of the Pendergast politicians around the President to won der if they have not gone too far in demanding Civil Rights legislation. I call on the Democrats of South Carolina to finish the job on July 11 and we will not only preserve Southern democracy but we will help bring about a united front in dealing with this grave international situation. In this campaign my opponent for the Senate has played his typical role or a demagogue in trying to make political capital out of my support of the Marshall Plan. He has gone alt over South Caro Una talking about our government pouring monev. -lown a rat hole in its efforts to win the cold war -•ainst Russia. MARSHALL PLAN SAVED US THUS FAR As a result ot the Marshall Plan we avoided in Europe what is today happening in Korea. By sending our commodities, including South Carolina Cotton and Tobacco, under the plan designed by our great chief of staff during the war, George C. Marshall, we avoided a shooting war in Europe. But my opponent thinks he knows more than Gen eral Marshall, General Eisenhower, General Brad ley, Cordell Hull, James Byrnes, and others who advocated the MarshalhPlan. There were only four Democratic senators who joined with 13 senators in voting against the orig inal Marshall Plan. My opponent was one ot that four. There was only one Democratic senator who joined with six Republicans in voting against con tinuing the Marshall Plan in 1949. My opponent was that one. There was only One Democratic sen ator who joined with seven Republicans in oppos ing continuance of the Marshal! plan .in 1950. My opponent was that one. OPPONENT VOTED AGAINST BRITISH LOAN My opponent also voted against the British loan, although it was recommended by the then Secre tary of State James F. Byrnes. And remember this, my opponent was one of seven Democratic senators who joined with six Republicans in voting against the Korean assistance act ot 1949. In other words, the record shows that my oppon ent has Joined hands with a small hard core of Re publican isolationists in seeking to wreck this na tion's effort to win the cold war against the spread of Communism. My opponent did not hesitate to desert the Dem ocratic party ot South Carolina and support Harry Truman in 1948 when Southern democracy was un der attack. But when it came to standing by our government in its cold war against Communism he joined in with the Reoublicans and deserted all other Democrats in the Senate to block the pro gram, which Congress almost unanimously adopted. S. c. DOES NOT BELIEVE IN ISOLATIONISM Just who advised my opponent to become a Republican isolationist I do not know. I can tell him tonight that South Carolina does not believe in isolationism. He has been using the cheap political devices of an isolationist by going around over this state and saying if the federal government can pour billions into Europe we can ap propriate a few millions for our public schools. Any man who will play pclitics on such a vital matter as our foreign policy is not it to be in the United States Senate, and hat is another reason South Carolina Dem- >crats are going to turn my opponent out <f the Senate on July 11. ' ’ , _ in these times we need men in the Sen- l e—men who have the courage ot their -mviction and who have the morel and ysical fibre to lead their people. PUT AN END TO TWO RACKETS During this campaign I have told how e pardon racket operated out ot the Gov ernor’s office while my opponent was Gov ernor, and how I brought en end to that racket. Over at Pickens this morning I told of another racket which my opponent permitted to grow up in South Carolina and that was the Industrial Commission granting excessiva fees out ot compensa tion due to our workers for injuries or to their families for death. We cleaned up the pardon racket end with the confirma tion of Miss Faith Clayton, after e herd fight, we cleaned up the mess in the indus trial commission. Now I want to tell you about another condition which my opponent cultivated while he was Governor and which shocked he good church people of South Carolina end those who believe in Temperance. You people here in Greenville remember that when he ran for Govertior he held his right hand to the sky and said that hand would never^sign e bill o legalize liguor in this state. t OPPONENT SIGNED WIDE OPEN LIQUOR LAW Well I have here in my hand a photostatic copy of his signature on an almost wide open liquor law. This liguor bill which my opponent made lew with the hand'which he said would never legalize liquor in this state, created a situation in South Carolina which threatened to corrupt government in South Carolina, both state and locaL, This liquor ring was a cancer in our body politic and when I became Governor I cut it out. The General Assembly* upon my recommendation jassed the graduated liquor tax under which mil- Jions ot dollars which had been going into the poc kets ot liguor dealers have been channeled into our state treasury. Other recommendations which I made, including local option, were not carried out but the good church people ot South Carolina can be thankful to the General Assembly tor carrying out my recommendation which broke the financial back of the liguor ring in this state. I charge now and my opponent cannot deny it that he has accepted support from those who were enriched by the liguor bill he signed. They sup ported his campaign when he ran for the Senate six years ago and they are working for him in this campaign. My opponent's autographed picture has hung on the walls of liquor dealers in this state. When my opponent was defeated for the Senate in 1941 by Burnet R. Maybank, this liguor bill was an issue in their campaign. NOTES SIMILARITY IN FULL PAGE ADS My opponent had published a full-page ad in the newspapers of the state reflecting on Senator May- bank and tried to prejudice the people of this state against him because he was from Charleston. Here is the ad, and I hope you will note the sim ilarity to the full-page ad my opponent ran in the papers last Sunday against me. It has the ear marks ot beinc prepared by the same hand ot yel low journalism in Anderson, South Carolina^ which prepared the ad now being circulated in this cam paign in behalf of my opponent. Senator Maybank in the 1941 campaign charged my opponent with posing as the great white hope ot temoerance and then sioning a liauor bill which caused liguor stores to spring up in South Carolina like mush-rooms. CANNOT RUN WITH BOTH SIDES Needless to say, Senator Maybank called my opponent on his hypocrisy, iust as I am calling him in this campaign. My opponent is not going to get by with running with the wets and the drys any more than he is ooina to get by with runnino with the Tru- manites and now trying to run with States Rights Democrats of South Carolina. . - /: V-i - R h A Vote for STROM THURMOND is a Vote for South Carolina Democracy PUBLISHED BY THE NEWBERRY COUNTY FRIENDS OF STROM THURMOND ■m ■ Jm JBSfcU-/ ’ Wm tWM ■ mm iS-JaSs,?*'si' -oaKi «
