FOLKS A TIME FOR ALL THINGS Jesse Wood, county agent of Pickens, went to see one of their enthusiastic grass farmers back in late June. He couldn’t get in the front door because the living room floor was spread four Inches deep with drying fescue seed. Jesse said the man laugher and said his wife was away. He combined his grass seed, they were a little damp, and he had nowhere else to dry them. Jesse didn’t say how the man fared when his wife got back. But the seed were dry by then, and maybe he got ’em out before that. Those seed are worth money and that man was not for los ing them. For they are valuable not only to sell, but for ex tending his own acreage with ladino clover there. That was his interest. Now, folks, I maintain that when one of our number, who has known grass but to fight it, covers the floor of the liv ing room with drying grass seed, a great change has come over him. And the same change has come to many of us in South Carolina in the past two years. • x The discovery of grass in its 1 new role is one of sensational importance. The song that Woodle and Craven have been leading over the air, in the papers, at meet ings, and on the farms this fall, “A blanket of Green for South Carolina this Winter,’’ has really struck a popular cord. And the county agents tell me they are getting more pasture / dem onstrations seeded and winter grazing put in this fall than ever before. The thing begins to roll now of its own momentum. For seeing is believing. And many have seen that ‘‘June Grazing in January” in recent years. Now is the time to be getting your grazing seeded. If you haven’t already. DAIRY PROGRESS AT SUMTER Every one of the about 20 dairy farmers in Sumter county are members of their recently formed dairy cooperative. Clem- son’s Professor Goodale spent several weeks with them the past summer getting everything set up, and one of his graduates, Dick Baskin of Bishopvllle, is manager of their milk processing and retail establishment. I un derstand this is the first dairy cooperative of Its sort in the state. It does business with the Bank of Cooperatives in Colum bia, and operates on the latest cooperative basis. New markets, quality products, and new outlets for dairy pro ducts are its aim. In this way they hope to enlarge the field for dairying In the county, accord ing to County Agent Bowen. CHANGE I lived In Sumter 6 years ago. Then I knew practically every body there. The other day I went by there to see a friend. Ten peo ple waited in his anteroom. I didn’t know but one of ‘em! I go to Saluda, where I work ed 5 years up to 1923. Then I knew everyone there. And if I saw a stranger, I would inquire who he was. Now I go to Saluda and walk among strangers. And It is rare I recognize a face or they mine. And the change all over South Carolina is about as great. In dustry has come, and lonely rural lanes have grown Into paved TAXI 24 DR. R. C.

MARTIN Radio Service SALES and SERVICE BOYCE STREET Opposite County Library 24 HOURS SERVICE Telephone 311W roads along which many people live. Electric lines now carry light and better living to the remote corners. Rural telephones are coming fast, radio brings its magic to the most humble and out of way places. And diversifi cation has grown on the land to where an old turner would see as few familar scenes there as I saw on the faces of folks in that Sumter office. Change! The certainty of it! The fascination of it! Therein lies progress and better things. And the county agents sure live with that change. Yoii should hear their telephone calls and ride with them, as I do. They need to know everything and then some. WEED KILLERS County Agent Mellette of Aik en was on the phone talking to a farmer who had suffered 2,4-D injury to cotton when I was there some time ago. He took me out to see some ponds where he had killed out weeds with weed killer. The one we saw on F. E. Cullunrs farm had been treated by Mellet te as a, demonstration the week before. Weeds were so bad they could hardly row the boat through them. Then I couldn’t tell any weeds had ever been there. He used 8 oz. Brush Killer to 3 gal. fuel oil sprayed on at a cost of $5 per acre covered. BOYS ARE THAT WAY I > v There was magic in a wheel for us as kids. Any -sort of wheel fascinated us, and we did n’t have many. A prized possession was an old buggy tire that the blacksmith at the foot of the hill occasional ly gave one of us. We never let It hardly stop rolling. With a small stick in our hand against it, we could make it go any where. The bottoms and tops of cheeseboxes were eagerly sought by us too. Then they were made out of one wide piece of lumber, not very durable as a wheel, but we had a light use for them. Nailed to the end of a staff they would roll fine and arms attached to it and the handle went up and down like grasshopper legs. We pushed those hours on end. We wanted to ride on some- were very rare. So we satis fied that craving by sliding. Our best sliding hill was down near the Jacobs place about a half mile hack of home. Each had a 12 inch board beveled off at the front end, and a cleat nail ed there to prop the feet against. With these we would slide down that long steep hill at- terrific rate. We had made a track in the woods turf there, obstructions had been removed, and we really rode. At the foot of the hill was a branch. To avoid spilling in to that ,we cut poles, peeled them, and made us a chute right on across it. The hill on the other side stopped us. I almost had a fatal accident there one day. At the steepest part of the grade, my board caught firmly on a root as I was making great time. My feet slipi ped off the cleat at the end of the hoard and my rear system struck it with devastating force. I tumbled headlong on down to wards the branch. After 10 daya in bed I was out again hunting adventure that we never failed to find in our stone hills of the Dutch Fork. REV. FULMER TO BE AT BETH EDEN The Rev. V. L.
