E. Turner
JEWELER
FROM A READER
A few weeks ago I wrote some
thing in the other column about
hating to see the shade trees go
from the streets of our small
towns in the name of progress.
A reader from Sumter wrote,
commending what was said. And
she contributed this gem: “I
can’t concede that the destruc
tion of things of proved value Is
‘progress.’ To me it is more
truly characterized as vandalism,
for I think true progress includes
wise conservation.”
Rant as we tree-lovers will,
great and beautiful shade trees
continue to go from the once
cool shaded lanes of our small
towns. Just the other day I stop
ped in a familiar mid-state town
of perhaps 2,000. I asked for the
tree that had often lent me itd
shade to park under on hot sum
mer days. I couldn’t even tell
where it had been. So my car
parched there on the inhumanly
hot pavement while I ran my er
rands. And when I came back it
was an inferno, fit only for one
who had been condemned to the
lower regions.
They often go to make way fox’
power and telephone lines. Why
couldn’t these run from the cen
ter of the blocks rather than
from the fronts. In some towns
they are that way. Then they
only have to cross the streets,
not run right along the side
walks where shade trees belong.
LOOKOUT BOYS
Three girls were on county 4-R
dairy judging teams in the state
this year. All three of them
were among the high scorers that
won the trip to Clemson to com
pete in the state contest.
HOLSTEINS TOO
Our Holstein cattle breeders
now have an association In South
Carolina. J. A. Shirley of Ander
son is president, V. W. Hayes
of Greenwood is vice president,
and Clemson’s C. G. Cushman is
secretary. They recently had a
series of “twilight meetings”
over the state that were attend
ed by far more farmers than now
have Holsteins, indicating the
growing interest we have in
dairying. The meeting in Green
wood at the L. C. Patton farm
was attended by a half hundred
interested folks, according to
County Agent arvin.
BEAUTY BY THE ROAD
Just below Walterboro is a
new outdoor theater. The back
of the screen faces the highway.
It is not the unsightly scaffold
ing we usually see. No. It has
been made into a thing of beauty.
The back of that screen was
boarded up. And on those
boards is painted one of Carew
Rice’s wonderfully realistic Low
Country silhouettes. In fact, it
is of such beauty as to cause the
motorist to slow up and admire.
Thus an unsightly backstage
has been made a thing of beatuy,
and the whole countryside there
Is made the richer. And quite
a good job was done in project
ing the matchless art of Carew
Rice there in seven-league pro
portion.
Folks, Mr. Rice, you know, is
one of our very own living at
his ancestral home at Wiggins,
down in Colleton. He is the
son of the late noted naturalist,
James Henry Rice. His art is
worthy of wide adaptation to
which that theater at Walter
boro has put It.
BLACK RYE
A new rye on me Is the Flor
ida Black Rye that County Agent
Shelley was telling me about
their growing in Barnwell. Ho
said it did well there, has a very
small seed, and was all grown on
contract for a Florida seedsman.
They produced 4,000 bushels of
It in Barnwell, and found it to
be a profitable crop.
75 TO 1
And here’s another one from
Shelley at Barnwell. C. D. Still
there- planted one bushel of
Marett’s Anderson oat on one
acre and harvested 75 bushels
the past June.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
One of the greatest of early
treats was ice cream. I was up
some size before we started mak
ing it. At first it was made in
a one-gallon friction top tin buck
et, the first time we ever got
such a bucket. Karo molasses
came in it after our homemade
sorghum had given out in mid
summer. We used the water
bucket for the ice, and jusi

it with the handle to freeze the
cream. The stuff was cut from
the inside of that bucket as it
froze toi the side.
We kids would sit around eat
ing ice while the cream was
being frozen. If all of the ice
had been put In the freezer, we
continued eating it, despite the
salt.
It seemed to us that the freez
ing process wou)d ever finish.
But at long last it always did.
Then we sat on the back steps
there, each with spoon in hand.
We kids were prone to eat it too
fast, and shooting pains would
hit us above the eyes. The first
time that happened I was rather
small. It scared me, and I
cried. But there was always the
impulse to eat it too fast for
two reasons. It was just so good
we couldn’t hardly help it. And
