we now have
Esoterica
IA mildly medicated
| cream in delightful
vanishing form for
skin that is ...

or SPOTTED from
weather or neglect.
ESOTERICA was developed in a laboratory
that has studied the effects of cosmetics on
"problem" skin for 25 years and has produced
more than 75 million packages of pure, fine
toiletries. Prized for its lightening, bright
ening effect ESOTERICA is also being used
as a mild antiseptic dressing for acne (pim
ples) associated with blackheads. Many use
it as a powder base during treatment periods.
Softens and lubricates dry skin.

100-DAY FLOWER
If I spoke in pompous phrase.
I'd say, before you dream of a
lily or rose, plant ye a crepe
myrtle.
Yes, the old Hundred-Day
Flower! What brightness and
beauty it brings to the summer
hedge and hillock! And what
abuses it can stand! You set
it out once and it’s forever there.
It will respond to good treat
ment, but neglect does not cause
it to go. It is often the lone
sentinel that marks where a
house has been, after even the
brick and other rubble are over
grown with wild verdure.
We settled a new place. Didn’t
get one planted last winter. But
hope to the coming one. How
about a little resolution. Let’s
resolve to do that on every place
where a beautiful crape myrtle
is not now growing. I like that
gorgeous watermelon pink best.
LIKES NEW MELON
In the past few years several
new disease-resistant watermel-*
ons have been developed at the
U. S. Vegetable Breeding Labora
tory near Charleston. In co
operation with that laboratory,
several of the county agents
have been trying them out in
five-acre plantings, enough to in*
sure carlot shipments. The con-
go specially showed up well. And
i>° past season was the first
time enough seed were available
for rather widespread planting.
The growers liked it very much.
I visited a large grower’s field
in Allendale with County Agent
Searson. Part of the field was
planted to Congo and the rest
to one of the leading established
varieties. The old sort had sun
burned badly, most of the vines
were dead, and about half of the
melons were left in the field.
That day they were picking the
Congos for the fourth time, vines
were beautiful, and ft looked
as though they would continue
making for some time.
We asked the man how he lik
ed the Congo. He said he liked
it very much, that it was making
at least as many melons, and he
was able to market all of them.
He brought out too that it was
a good shipper. County agents
down there feel that It will be
very widely planted next year.
PLANTING BIRDS
Through the game department,
many of our counties have been
planting lespedeza bicolor for
bird feed. With cleaner farming
and wide terrances that we work
over, it is felt by game lovers
that the lack of food is one of
the chief causes of less game.
So many thousands of these hi*
color . shrubs are being planted
along hedge rows and the edges
of fields and in open woodland
spots.
Folks who have bicolor several
years old tell me that if you have
any Quail on your place, you will
surely find them there in the
vicinity of this planted food dur
ing the winter. It holds its seed
pretty well and birds can get it
even if snow Is on the ground.
After this and other bird feeds
are planted around, then many
counties are raising and plant
ing quail there. In Marlboro,
60,000 bicolor plants were set
last winter, 10,000 of these by
4-H club boys. And many of
these quail from the Blenheim
hatchery, raised them, and then
turned them loose on thier farms.
that means something else. Live
stock.
From all reports It looks as
though that ‘Blanket of Green”
will clothe many a new acre in
this state ere the frosts of winter
come. And what meaning that
carries! Leaching largely stop
ped, washing too, and pasturage
for stock around the clock of
seasons! Few spots of earth
are capable of all that.
WILL OAKS GO?
Something they call oak wilt
is killing all varieties of oak
trees at places in the upper Mid
west. The industries depending
upon oak lumber have become
alarmed, and have contributed
fellowships and funds to aid re
search towards a remedy I am
told that It has been found as far
down as northern Kentucky. Just
how severe it will become, no
one knows. But It looks serious.
A similar scourge hit the chest
nuts up East years ago. It came
down the country until not a
chestnut was left along the east
ern range of that tree.
GRASS IN PICKENS
County Agent Wood tells me
that you see both permanent and
temporary grazing mixtures being
seeded everywhere you turn in
the red hils of Pickens. Far
more than ever before! And

BOYS ARE THAT WAY
I don’t remember ever getting
cold or hot when I was a kid.
We slept in an upstairs half-
story that I know have been tor
rid on many a summer night
And the feather bed must have
added to the temperature as we
lay there. Yet I never even paus
ed when I hit those sheets. Sleep
was almost instant, and I was
dead until day. At dawn my
signal to get up was the scap
ing of gravy from the frying
pan. For I knew that in a mat
ter of moments then the food
would be on the table. And it
took me just no time at all to
bounce out, hop Into my over
alls on the move, and take the
steps two at a time as I head
ed down to the dining room. And
I don’t think I ever thought to
wash my face. They always
had to make me go on the back
porch and do that after I reach
ed the table and tried to get
by without doing it.
And the heat of day never
bothered us either, unless they
were trying to make us work.
An deven then, we would soon be
off to the creek, unless they had
laid the law down to us mighty
hard that day.
Cold didn’t bother us either.
Those brogan shoes with only a
loose buckle at the top must
have let in the cold something
awful, just about like a wooden
shoe. But I don’t recall my
feet ever getting cold. And win
ters appear to have been colder
then. We often walked the
branch a part of the way to
school, the ice was so thick.
Now that condition seldom exists.
And heating was very poor. In
our long one-room school there
were cracks in the floor and an
open fireplace in one end; at
home ceilings were high and
rooms were airy, and we had no
form of heat in our upstairs
sleeping abode. Yet childhood
memories carry recollection of
discomforts from neither this nor
from the summer heat.
I guess kids are just that way.
AND WONDERED
I STOOD AMAZED
The most wondrous sight 1
have ever beheld was the great
trees of Northern California and
Southern Oregon.
Those great giants are the
oldest of living things. Many of
those now standing were great
trees when Christ was born.
Geologists say the unmolested
redwood forests are well over a
hundred million years old. When
the ice age covered most of this
continent, Europe, and Asia, it
did not cover that area. So the
great trees survived out there,
after having grown over much
of the earth.
Fortunately the state of Cali
fornia, the Save-the-Redwoods
League, and other organizations
have busied themselves in sav
ing a lot of the original stands
of these great links with the pre
historic past. And today we are
privileged to visit 48,000 acres
of virgin stands that will for
ever remain in public trust, just
as they came to us, down
through the ages.
So I would say, after having
been privileged to travel some,
see the great redwoods, if you
would like to behold the greatest
of the wonders that have come
before my eyes. To me, earth
does not hold an equal.
