GRASS!!
Years ago I read and re-read
what Senator John J. Ingalls said
about grass. Then it had little
meaning to me, except the sheer
beauty of the language. Soon I
found I had memorized it.
In recent years it has come to
have more meaning than the
beauty of the words. For grass
has grown from a pest in the
field to a treasure in the pasture.
Here is what Ingalils said:
“Grass is the forgiveness of na
ture, her constant benediction.
“Fields trampled with battle,
saturated with blood, torn with
the ruts of cannon, grow green
again with grass, and carnage is
forgotten.
“Streets abandoned by traffic
become grass grown like rural
lanes and are obliterated; forests
decay, harvests perish, flowers
vanish, but grass Is immortal.
“Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into
the impregnable fortress of Its
subterranean vitality and emerg
es upon the solicitation of spring.
“Sown by the winds, by the
wandering birds, propagated by
the subtle horticulture of the ele
ments, which are Its ministers
and servants, it softens the rude
outline of the world. Its tenac
ious fibers hold the earth in Its
place, and prevent its soluble
components from washing into
the sea.
“It invades the solitude of
deserts, climbs the inaccessible
slopes and forbidden pinnacles
of mountains, modifies climates,
and determines the history,
character, and destiny of nations.
“Unibtrusive and patient, it
has immortal vigor and aggress
ion.
“Banished from the thorough
fare or the field, it bides its time
to return, and when vigilance is
relaxed, or the dynasty has
perished, it silently resumes its
throne, from which it has been
expelled but which it never ab
dicates.
“It bears no blazonry of bloom
to charm the senses with fra
grance and splendor, but its
homely hue is more enchanting
than the lily or the rose.
“It yields no fruit on earth or
air, and yet should its harvest
fail for a single year famine
would depopulate the world.”
This thing we call Grass must
really be important. It was the
first living thing an all-wise
Providence saw fit to bring forth
on this earth. In the 11th verse
of Genesis, after the waters Were
called into the seas and the dry
land appeared, the Almighty said,
“Let the Earth bring forth
Grass.” And then other life fol
lowed.
So when modern science sees
grass in a beneficial new light,
and not only as a pest in the
cultivated fields^ it is gttting in
tune with the plan of ages. Ex
periment and experience are find
ing out for us the ways of grass.
County agents and others demon
strate the latest know-how with
grass as a crop. Farm tours see
these. And grass begins to come
into its ancient own In our land

usuadly hard to find.
IT PAYS
Master Farmer Earl Taylor of
Greenville county uys:
“In 1948 we irrigated for the
first time and sold 844,000 worth
of peaches from 25 acres. The
equipment easily paid for itself
the first year.”
And County Agent Bill Gray
tells me that he has gotten good
results from his irrigation on
pastures and fall truck too.
An irrigation outfit costs right
smart. In fact it is rather big
money when compared with most
farm expenditures. But we
shouldn’t just look at that and
balk. Look on the other side
and see what it promises to
yield.
Sometimes we have to spend
some money in order to make
more money. And irrigation is
surely a case of this sort.
We are rather new with irriga
tion here. And we need to know
a lot mort about it. Our informa
tion is developing fast. Clem-
son’s P. M. Garvin, Jr., is special
izing on that subject. He is
available through your county
agent to help you survey and
plan it. And your SCS men can
help you with some phases of it
too.
All too long have we let that
great potential that water could
have brought to our acres go to
waste down its ancient channels
to the sea, while crops parched

OVERHEARD
In a Low Country cafe I
heard a group of graying women
talking. You will know what
the conversation was about when
one of them said, “No second
wife will ever wear my diamond.
'I’d swallow it first.”
PUMPKINS APLENTY
Saw - a pile of pumpkins in
County Agent Johnston’s yard in
Conway. He said the Lions Club
would auction them off for
Thanksgiving. E. M. Meares had
grown them on his old tobacco
pl&nt bed and donated them to
tht good cause, and Johnston
had hauled ’em in.
A new idea there for civic
groups, 4-H clubs and • the like
to make a little money. Many
folks would like to have a pump

Thanksgiving. But they are
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
I went to my first fair at about
5 or 6. It is one of the earliest
thing I can remember. And its
impressions are still fresh.
We boarded the 4 o’clock train
at White Rock, stopped to take
on wood at the Metts wood rack,
and got to Columbia, 18 miles
away, at 6 p.m. We took a hack
to my aupt’s house, ate early, and
then walked the one block up to
Main Street where the fair was
held then.
The lights and the crowd quite
overwhelmed me. And the con
fetti they were throwing was
beautiful stuff, I thought. It was
thick on the sidewalk, and I
scraped it up and packed my
pockets with it when my folks
weren’t looking. Later they
noticed it and made me empty
the unsanitary stuff from the
street out. I cried and then they
bought me a nickel package bf
that shredded bits of bright
