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.

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,

anchored there after extensive
maneuvers with the Sixth Fleet,
of which it is a unit.
