BASEBALL GAME IN THE AFTERNOON
MEAT AND HASH FOR SALE
GOLDEN GUERNSEY
At many places we see high
qquality Guernsey milk being
sold under the patent name of
“Golden Guernsey.
If we follow the sales of these
cattle we are impressed with the
fact that “Gold” applies to them
in another way too.
All records were recently
broken when a famous herd of
Guernseys up East was auctioned
off. The 62 head brought $406,-
800, for an average of $6,561 per
head!
Our Chester area has for years
been growing into the Guernsey
center of the Southeast. Sales
there have not approached that
figure, but a number of Chester
farmers have sold animals at
prices that ran into four figures.
Guernseys not only grow with
th« adult farmers In the Chester
area, but their future growth is
assured by the interest the young
people are taking in them. Coun
ty Agent Wylie has 71 4-H club
members with registered Guern
sey heifers as their very own.
A good many of these will grow
into young herds, as others have
already. And, getting the rudi
ments of dairying and of grow
ing and handling good cattle
early, these youngsters have
quite an advantage when they
start out.
And what Chester is doing
with Guernseys, some other coun
ties are going with other dairy
breeds, notably Jersey.
The Guernsey Festival at
Chester this year is August 29-
30. The show is on the first day
and the sale on the second.
NO GATES
We saw his fine pastures and
beef cattle and didn’t have to
open a gate. That was when
County Agent Miller of York
took me over the Dave Camer
on farm. We drove right on
across a number of cattle guards
that took the place of gates.
As we get into pastures and
the
cattle
business
more
and
more,
such
practical
aids
and
labor-savers
become
more
and
more important. Clemson has the
plans for building these cattle
guards that are free to folks
within the state. Your county
agent can get the set of plans
for you that suit. Number 5468
is for all wood construction,
5469 is for construction with
wood and concrete, and plans
number 5470 are for concrete and
iron pipe construction.

CHANGE
During the recent potato
shipping season in Charleston
they told me that 90 percent of
the potatoes * there were moving
by truck
I asked why. “Speed” was
the answer.
The shipper I was talking with
told of an experience of a few
days before. A car and a truck
were loaded at the same time.
A wire reported the arrival of
the truck in Baltimore as the
car was being pulled from his
siding out there in Charleston
county.
Speed, speed! It is sure chang
ing things. There the depot,
platforms, and facilities of the
railroad were being used, while
their cars stood idle and rusted
there on the weed-grown siding.
For trucks were able to give a
better service to the great mark
ets than they were.
It’s cruel world.

ANOTHER CUCUMBER
Clemson’s truck station near
Charleston is constantly at work
on producing better vegetables
for this area.
A few years ago Dr. Barnes
down there released a valuable
new mildew-resistant fall cucum
ber, the Palmetto. It far out-
yields other sorts for fall plant
ing
Now he tells me he is releas
ing a new cucumber suited for
spring planting. It too carries
more disease resistance than
any commercial cucumber the
farmers have had to plant be
fore. He has named it Santee.
Santee and Palmetto! Two
South Carolina names that will
go down in another book, the
vegetable book. They will serve
the trucker for some years. But
not too many, I am convinced.
For Doctor Barnes has Im
proved sorts coming along in his
complicated breeding program
that promise to outstrip these
in meeting the farmer’s needs.
And I like to follow Dr. Epps
down there in similar work he
is doing with tomatoes and with
my old friend, the' cowpea. The
future holds better things in
these there too.
ANGEL OAK
“Angel Oak,’’ what a tree it is,
back of the Episcopal church
down on Johns Island! It covers
an acre of land, they told me,
and I didn’t doubt it.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
Last week I told you of the
summer drought, of our creek
drying up, and of the final
thunderstorm that sent it like a
torrent through its ancient chan
nel in the hills.
We arrived by the time the
rain had quit, and she was on a
rampage. It left Its channel
and was away out over the
corn to the hills. Logs and all
sorts of debris were coming
down. We waded in down in
Cousin Ed’s bottoms We could
just now and then see a corn
tassel bob up. The channel made
a turn there, but logs left it
and drifted out across the corn
field. We fought our way to
them and rode then to the edge
of the field, where they rafted
up against the trees on the ditch
bank. The water was deep there,
and we couldn’t swim very well.
But from tree to tree we worked
our way back to the hill.
What a time we had! Ben’s log
took a different course and car
ried him through the tops of a
big brier patch that scratched
him up quite a bit. One of the
logs I rode must have had
poison oak on it, for in a few
days it made its mark on me
from head to toe. Marvin was
lying * flat on a large rough
log, riding majestically across
the corn field at about 10 miles
an hour when it struck a large
tree near the creek bank firmly
head on. That caused it to stop
suddenly and him to skid a bit,
and what that rough bark did fop
his naked underside was a-plenty.
So all of us came out with
minor cuts, bruises, and scratchs.
But we had had such a wonder
ful time that these didn’t bother
us at all. Looking back on it,
there are a thousand wonders
some of us didn’t get drowned.
For I can’t imagine anything
much more dangerous than what
we were doing. But such was
$15 MILLIONS SPENT
ON NEW CARS, TRUCKS
COLUMBIA, Aug. 19—Appar
ently as a result of the war
scare. South Carolinians spent
between $12,000,000 and $15,000,-
000 on new automobiles and
trucks during the month of
August.
H. E. Quarles director of the
State Highway Department motor
vehicle division, reported that
8,000 new cars and trucks were
registered by the department
last month.
This was the largest number
of new registrations ever issued
in any one month by the depart
ment. Many automobile concerns
reported within a few days after
the Korean war got underway
that they had sold out of new
vehicles
Presuming that the price of
these new cars ranged between
$1,500 and $2,000, a total of $12,-
000,000. to $15,000,00o was spent
on the new vehicles.
Quarles agreed that perhaps
the war-scare buying sent tha
sale of new vehicles to an all-
time high in the state He said
he knew of no other reason.
NEEL-SWETT
Miss Doris Colleen Neel,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Neel Sr. of Newberry became

Swett of Dunbarton, in a cer
emony at the home of and by

veil. Her corsage was of white
carnations.
After »the ceremony the couple

ey Mountains. Mrs. Swett. is a
graduate of Newberry High
School and a graduate of Wal-
dreps Beauty Acadamey in Green
ville.
Mr. Swett is the son of the

MEETING OF
REORGANIZATION COMMITTEE
The School Reorganization
Committee has been called to
meet Friday afternoon August 25
at 3 o’clock. It is hoped that
this will be their final meeting
and that the report can be given
to the public soon thereafter.
This meeting has become neces-
sery because of certain changes
suggested by the Delegation and
the County Board of Education.
As soon as a final draft is
made the Committee plans to
schedule at least one public
meeting In every community for
the purpose of explaining just
what the problems are and what
proposals are being made. It is
suggested too that each person
take a note of the Committee’s
itinerary as soon as it is made
available and plan to be present
at one or more of the meetings.
