SOMETHING NEW Back in the spring County Agent Goodyear took me out to Tom Squires’ place to see some thing that was radically new. We found his setting on the level in contour rows with a one-row tractor-drawn machine that they were able to average setting four acres a day w’ith. Both Mr. Squires and his tenants liked it very much. With it they were able to plant each tenant’s crop in a day. Thus the man had just one age of tobacco. t The first of their planting was rowing good and good stands had been secured. Little grass was all over the ground, but they were going to get that the next day with the one and only cul tivation the crop would get. With it they put as much bed to it as it would stand. The machine opens a good deep sot for the plant, two men feed the plants in it, water squirts out down there around the roots, the soil is firmed in from both sides by the openers that Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions CARTER’S Day Phone 719 — Night 6212 WHISTLING MERRY An 8 months old baby whose name naturally is “Merry” started whistling on Mother’s Day—a tune resembling “Put Another Nickel In—” No matter what your name is, you can whistle merrily on your way when your insurance is with PURCELLS “YOUR PRIVATE BANKER” Phone 197 John S.

THE NEWBERRY SUN make a place for the fertilizer an inch or two on each side of the plant, and the plant is left standing upright and firmly set with nothing left but to grow. I am sure all Who are familiar with modern tobacco growing will see the many novel features of this method. It is being watched with interest by many, and only time will tell just how it will work out under all con ditions. DON’T WORK 'EM WET There are some things you just can’t safely work when they are damp. If you do you will almost certainly cause leaf troubles. Some of the more com mon things are cucumbers, watermelons, cantaloupes, and all sorts of garden beans. Yes, our plant disease and in sect man. Nettles, cautions to cultivate and hoe these things only when the foliage is perfect ly dry. FRIENDS AT WORK Cutworms had been bothering our flowers. Last Sunday I was sitting on te porch and a robin lit there on the fence. It then hopped on the ground, not over 25 feet from where I sat. I picked up Tommy’s field glasses and trained them on it. It look ed as big as'a chicken then. It turned its head to one side near the ground. Then it picked violently into the ground a few 4 times and came up with a big cutworm. He picked at it until it became limp. He hopped around with it, laid it down, held his head as he had before, and picker there too, but only got his bill dirty, no worm. He went to a third place, repeated the performance, and came up with another cutworm. After he had killed it, he took both of them in his bill and flew away, to his nest I Imagined. I told a neighbor of it and he complained that robins had eaten most of his strawberries. Strawberries are bound to be better than worms. But as long as he goes after worms as that robin did, I can excuse him for eating an occasional berry. Did you even notice a bird feeding its young, how constantly through the day they bring worms and more worms. With out their help, bugs and worms might be over-running this earth of ours." 1 trtteSS I"* 0 0, C M® ^ ljuMSSt* ost <* .

Wheels are charming to a boy, and in our time there were few. Spools were the near est thing to a wheel that we had in considerable quantity. A friend down in the Dutch Fork, Herbert Eargle, reminded me the other day of the maze of spools he saw running with strings all over our well shed when I was a kid. Yes, I rigged ‘em up with strings for belts, and had them powered to the windlass t?hat drew the water from our well. When we drew water the strings were flying and the spools buz zing all over the well shed. If a spool hung up and wouldn’t turn, I’d pull the nail that form ed the axle and grease it with a sort of slick soapstone clay that showed up in a vein in the side of the ditch down in the pasture. That’s one time I would draw water without the folks making me. I could imagine a great factory there, as some of the spools, clear out of sight on the upper gables, would add their squeak to the music, BIRTH IS ANNOUNCED Mr. and ’ Mrs. Kirby Lominack are receiving congratulations up on the arrival of a daughter, Karen, born in the Newberry County Memorial Hospital on Thursday, July 6th.
