FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1950 THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS AND FOLKS SELLING CORN Three dollars and seven cents a bushel for corn! And he didn’t have to harvest it. Not bad, eh? That’s what D. R. Cooper, of Georgetown county did. He let •the hogs go get it. Every step in that demonstra tion was carefully supervised by County Agent McCord and Mr. Cooper. McCord estimated the corn on the 7 1-2 acres by the same method used in estimating prize corn. It figured a little over 52 bushels per acre, or 392 bush els on the area. They weighed 64 feeders when they put them on this corn. And then they were weighed when sold out of there. After deducting the cost of the 1300 pounds of fish meal and 100 pounds of min eral fed, the gain of 6,308 pounds from the 392 bushels of corn net ted $1,206.68. And this is $3.07 per bushel of corn, or $160.80 per acre for that com. And he didn’t have to gather it and then carry it back out to the hogs. As we grow into the livestock business more and more, we will be doing more and more of that sort of thing. Let the animals gather their own feed. This saves labor and actually makes the feed go further, for the stock picks up a lot of other things needed when allowed to run out and be on clean land like that. The other day they held their fall beef cattle sale. The 366 yearlings brought $48,449 for an average of 26.6 cents a pound. And in addition to that they are selling cattle from grass all along. GREEN GRASS IN PICKENS. The winter grazing school in Pickens was attended by 175 farmers, according to County Agent Wood. And it was followed by the heaviest seeding of winter grazing the county has as yet ex perienced. All agencies participat ing, he tells me. FAIRFIELD GRASS SALE. I've told you often of the grass lands of Fairfield. The veteran County Agent, R. H. Lemmon was promoting grass there when most areas still knew it only to fight in the cotton fields. And his suc cessor, M. H. Lynn, is carrying on as he did. YORK TOBACCO Looking for another money crop for 1951? You might like Turkish tobacco if you live in the up-country. County Agent Miller of York tells me that one of his demon strators sold his from an acre and got $1,010.70. It was their first year with the crop over there. This winter Clemson’s Bob Mattison will be meeting with many groups of interested farmers in the Piedmont to talk this Turkish tobacco thing over long before planting time. If you are interested, see your County Agent. And at places the Ag. teachers are helping with it too. 447, 910, and in 1050 it was 1800 acres. AUTUMN DRAPED ROAD Charleston has many beautiful country roads. But when autumn tints the country of the live oak and atreaming moss with varied color, those roads become fairy lanes indeed. I stopped and drank the tranquil beauty of Great spreading trees in which Tarzan might live. NEWBERRY PLANS TOUR County Agent Paul Ezell, of Newberry has already announced a county winter grazing tour for early February. Seeing is beleiv- ing. Nothing is more revealing than these tours. Most counties will have them. DOUBLED EACH YEAR Pastures are coming along over in Marion too. County Agent King’s records show that their prepared and seeded pastures have doubled each year for the past five. In 1946 they put out their first prepared, limed, ferti lized, and seeded pasture demon strations, embracing 6 acres. The next year it was 150 acres, then 'M'-i CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank the many who voted for me in the recent General Election, giving me a place on the Board of County Commissioners for the next two years. I shall strive to serve you well. Certainly I will do the very best I know how and will endeavor to be more useful as time goes on. * . ' Again thanking each and every individual, I am, Respectfully, FRANK (Jack) LOMINICK, JR. BOYS ARE THAT WAY I craved apples as a kid. As soon as a worm caused the first June apple to turn pale and drop in May, I was there to get it. My, how good that thing tast ed! For I hadn’t tasted one since those few that were put in my stocking at Christmas. Often we couldn’t wait for the worms to ripen them prematurely We would get salt, dip green ap ples in it, and eat them. This caused several severe stomach aches per season. Man, green apples can make you think you are going to split open! Along through the summer we usually had plenty of apples Most of them rotted, but there were enough of them left. After they put our teeth on edge from eating too many, it didn’t take so many to satisfy us. But our apples were usually gone by August. And we got bad hungry for them again by fall. Cousin Paul had a few trees of “winter apples”, we called them. I think they were of the Yates variety that I’m still fond of. Not large, but crisp and tasty. They harvested them for winter, and they kept until about Qiristmas. His children often brought them to school in their dinner buckets. And their fragrant odor would come clear through that bucket and make our mouths water dun ing school. At dinner the boys, Jack, Case and Ray would usually eat across the road there in the woods on some large rocks with us. We usually traded them out of some of their apples. And nothing else tasted so good! When I got through with one there was no core left. Now that we have ap ples the year around, I think the kids are missing something. For we gain appreciation for some thing by not having it.

Bread cast ' upon the waters years ago came home this week to E. W. Breedin, city clerk and treasurer. An aged negro, Alex Lamb, who made his home about 8 miles N. of Bennettsville, died last Friday night and in his will left Mr. Breedin 127 acres of excellent farm land. Mr. Breedin while em ployed at the bank many years ago, had been helppful to the old man in making out his checks, and in other banking matters, and Mr. Breedin’s father had also during his lifetime befriended the negro. A widower with no children. Lamb left other property to a nephew and a niece. The real estate was left to Mr. Breedin with the condition that he take care of Lamb’s sister, Mary Sweeney, as long as she lives. , Lamb was a hard working and successful farmer, and left an es tate valued at $40,000 or more. He was to have been married again, at the age of 85, on Thanksgiving day, it is understood, and had ordered a new Cadillac to be de livered to him previous to that date. In his safe was found $5000 in cash, which he was presumably holding to pay for the new car.

It happens to all of us. So if we can elimni&te the mystery and find out why and where we miss, the information should help us correct the fault the next time. Now it’s been said that shotgun shooting is not a sport but an art; that to hit a fast-flying bird requires such perfect timing and teamwork between mind, musc les and eyes that it must be classed as an art. Really, then, to miss is no mystery. When you miss an ordinary chance, one of many possible things just upset your nerves and they didn’t func tion on schedule. Pethaps the greatest handicap a man has- in field shooting is the desire to possess. You want that bird and a bubble comes up your neck and your co-ordination goes haywire. So relax, and take stock of the situation. When I go into a slump duck shooting I always find I am snap shooting out ahead of my birds. No man can snop-shoot at *long range effectively. I have to force myself to slow down. Snapping an empty gun at game a few times will often pull a man out of a slump. Ray Hol land furnished this trick and I have helped friends a number of times fith the stunt. I put an em pty shell in the friend’s gun and hand it to him. He walks up to the pointing dog, flushes a single and snaps his &un at the flying bird. I take the gun and reload it again with the empty. I may tell him that one of these times it will have a loaded shell in it. When it does he kills his bird. Everyone has his bad days, and when you start missing, it will probably help you to snap a few empties. You don’t need some one standing behind you to give you a load when you don’t expect it. And just remember: even the best shooters miss occasionally. That’s fine, for without the miss es there would be no thrill in the hits. NEWBERRIANS ATTEND FURNAL FOR RELATIVE Mrs. John G.
