% FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1»50 - W_ x THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS AND FOLKS FARM AND FOLKS 4-H PROMOTING QUAIL At their 4-H rally day in Lan caster, Jimmie Richardson and Leonard Wilson gave a demon stration in the care and feeding of quail. According to County Agent Cannon, they used one of the 200 pairs of quail that were released in the county early this year. I see a good many counties raising and releasing quail. And a few are trying pheasants too. In this day of clean culture and wide terraces that you work eight on over bird feed has been greatly reduced. The experts feel that this reduction in food and cover largely account for de pleted game birds. So, hand in hand with these introductions! of birds is coming the planting of bird food plants too. Many patches of lespedeza bicolor havd been planted at many places with seedlings produced by the state game commission and distributed through the soil conservation district supervisors. And both the annual lespedezas and se- ricea are being grown in areas where quail are to be liberated. County Agent Hopkins of And erson got a group of farmers to gether back in the spring and a number of them agreed to try it as a field crop this year. The Pendleton Oil Mill has agreed to buy it. This seed has the highest oil content of any of the oil-bearing seeds, according to Mr. Martin, and his work shows that paying yields may be expected here. BUSINESSMEN’S PASTURE TOUR (Live businessmen too are in terested with what’s happening on the farms. County Agent Lee of Cherokee arranged a pas ture tour for them sometime a 40 and 20 businessmen from Gaffney and Blacksburg made the round and were well impressed. Down in Colleton a similar tour was conducted back in the early spring. Great change is taking place in our basic agriculture, and it is good for our businessmen to keep attuned to it. For it has great meaning for our future. LIVESTOCK MARKET IN NEW YORK At first our livestock develop ment took root in the, lower part of the state. And, naturally, the first marketing facilities grew* there. But now every month or so I learn of this development creep ing further up-state. County Agent Miller of York saw the need of a market up there, and he worked with interested folks to that end. One hundred and thirty-three farmers each put up $100 and they opened their new market on May 11. Cattle and logs sold on the opening day brought $23,428.91. Eighty farmers in York county are growing out 220,000 turkeys, and additional late ones are being put in, according to Miller. SESAME IN ANDERSON For some years J. A. Martin of Clemson has been working on !§! Seasame or Benne, as it is often called, as a .possible oil-seed crop. It shattered so readily as to unsuit it to commercial pro duction under mechanization. But Martin has built up strains that will stand in the fields un til ripe and not shatter. This can be combined. POULTRY GROWS IN SPARTANBURG I told you of the fine poultry dressing plant that opened in Greenville sometime ago. Back in May Spartanburg county open ed its fourth poultry-dressing plant. County Agent Martin tells me they have a poultry associa tion, that he works closely with, that is doing a good job in ad vancing this industry. This populous Greenville-Spar- tanburg area eats a lot more chickens than it produces, our marketing man. Bob Martin, tells me. So there is a local market for an increased broiler produc tion right there at home. And these local dressing plants offer the farmer the marketing service that’s needed. Fast grown, well-feathered broilers are needed. DON’T GET THE POINT AH the little fellow remember ed of what he had heard at church was “a man singing about the cross-eyed bear,’” he told his mother. Upon inquiry she learned that a man had sung a solo entitled “The Cross I Bear.” Sometime we too fail to get the point of what we hear. BOYS ARE THAT WAY It was during a hot dry July, before we had learned to go to the creek. Up to then the old washing hole for us had been down there in our pasture in a small branch. At one place our branch meandered out through an open bottom. It had stopped running, but a large • puddle had been left out there in the sun where the hogs wallowed. We ran the hogs out and rolled in that thin mud until our bodies were well coated. Then we lay out in the sun to let it dry on us. With those masks of dried mud over our bodies, it sure felt funny when we first moved around. It woulti pucker a bit, crack and fall off as we cavorted around. After we had played out at that, we went on down in the woods where there were still a few small holes of water left and rolled over in it a few times* That got the worst of the mud off, but a film was left that didn’t bother us for the time being. But when our mother saw those bed sheets we had slept on that night we were call ed in to explain. She had never see any sheets like those. They read the law down to us, and we never did that again. But after a big rain, and our creek was swollen with water that soon brought goose bumps to us, we went out in Cousin Mell’s bottom and laid in the warm water that stood there in the sun in his corn middles. We got plenty of mud there too, but had sense enough this time to sort of wash each other off there in the creek before we left. What boys will do! Wallow ing there in the mud with the hogs! It’s a wonder any of us survived. But an all-seeing Eye seems to watch over them. EPPS RECEIVES PROMOTION BY CLAUSSEN’S BAKERY Sanford V.

NEW TEACHING SYSTEM From San Antonio Texas- paper. Basic trainees receiving mathe matical instruction in the 3700th Basic Military , Training Group are getting a chance to 'team more by a new system of mathe matical aptitude classification, according to Lieutenants James A. Pierce and Eugene R. Schmitz, officers in charge of the 3700th BMTG Mathematical Department. The new system of classifica tion takes into consideration that many people are not on the same level of mathematical un derstanding. To prevent men with widespread mathematical training from losing valuable time in studying basic funda mentals, each flight is pre-tested in its first week of training to determine the level of training of each individual. “Sgt. John W. ' laloney,” ac cording to Lt. Pierce, “is the top instructor on teacnlng mathema tics to higher level trainees. In instruction of lower half classes, Cpl. Tommie P. Setzler is rated best.” As an example of the instruct ing ability these two instructors possess, Lt. Schemitz showed the records of flight 4885. Flight 4885, he said, “received the initial pre-test in their first week of ” training. The score of each trainee was recorded and the top scoring 30 men were as- signed to instruction by Sgt. Maloney. The remaining 30 men were assigned to instruction by Cpl. Setzler.” The lieutenant went on to say “Sgt. Maloney’s upper class had a pre-test score of 47.64. Latev the post-test given at the end of the course showed over 22 points higher scores with an average score of 71.86. Cpl. Setzlers lower half of the flight showed a 21 point increase as the pre-test average score was 22.09 and the post-test aver age was 44.44. VISIT GREECE Two Newberry men, Dallas H. Willingham, hospital cor p 8 man, first class, USN, husband of Mrs. Dallis H.
