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

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,

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.

WIVES TO BENEFIT BY NEW
PROVISIONS OF S. S. LAW
Many wives in Newberry coun
ty will no longer have to wait
until their 65th birthday to be
come eligible for monthly insur
ance payments under Social Se
curity.
The manager of the Greenwood
office calls attention to the pro
vision in the new law for benefits
to wives of retired workers who
are now receiving old-age insur
ance payments. The wife of a
present beneficiary who has un
der her care a child under 18
qualified for benefits may now
have monthly payments herself.
In these cases the wife’s pay
ments continue until the child
under her care reaches 18 or is
otherwise disqualified as a ben
eficiary, says the Greenwood
office.
It is suggested that wives who
believe they are entitled to ben-
efis under this provision of the
new Social Security law get in
touch with the local office at
Greenwood or contact representa
tive at the Court House in New
berry from 9:30 to 2:00 P. M. on
Tuesday, November 21 or any
Tuesday at these hours.

BUYS CADILLAC FOR
WEDDING—DIES.
From The Pee Dee Advocate,
Bennettsville.
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.

listen to
How many times have you taken
your gun from your shoulder and
wondered how on earth you could
have missed an easy shot? 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.
