THE GOOD UF£
For the first time since the
American revolution, with the ex
ception of the War Between the
Statee, the people of our coun
try are faced with a stark test
of faith. The conflict with world
communism now is not to save
the world for democracy, but to
repel an enemy who is determin
ed to destroy in our own land
the Christian ideal of human dig
nity and individual liberty and
the political system which up
holds that ideal. Our faith and
our strength is this ideal.
As a nation, we came through
World War II with little discom
fort. Living standards have risen
to record levels. So has the pub
lic debt which is exacting its
toll in depreciating money. How
ever it is evident that devalued
dollars have not yet cramped our
style. Last year, according to
the Commerce Department, U. S.
citizens spent a staggering $178.-
832,000,000. The fabulous “Ameri
can way” is well illustrated in
a current joke which defines
a pedestrian as a motorist who
has found a place to park his car.
The list of American “haves’ 1
could go on indefinitely. Already
there are 8,000,000 television sets
in our homes—homes which are
equipped with tens of millions of
deep freezes, refrigerators, elec
tric stoves, radios, . washing
machines, and infinitum.
In retrospect, after nearly two
centuries of freedom and the
boundless progress that only
freedom could have achieved, it
would be a wonder if we were
not confused when suddenly con
fronted with the prospect of a
fight for actual survival. But
the time when we can afford con
fusion has nearly run out. These
words of Lenin, uttered thirty
years ago. ring with new signi
ficance: “As long as capitalism
and socialism remain-we -cannot
live in peace. In the end, 'one
or the other ' will triumph—a
funeral requiem will be sung
either over the Soviet Republic
or over world capitalism... We
have to use any ruse, dodges,
tricks, cunning, unlawful methods,
concealment and veiling of the
truth.”
•This is the ruthless concept,
backed by vast military force,
which is confronting America and
the world. To meet it we will
need more than arms and men.
We will have to lay our sights on
primary objectives and keep them
there. We must forget the ado
lescent notion that material se
curity is an unqualified “right.”
The “rights” embodied in the
American ideal are few and el
emental. They include equality
of oopor .unity, freedom of speech
and religion, and the protection
of private property. They are
the tools with which the in
dividual may achieve “life, lib
erty, and pursuit of happiness.”
In a word, it is time we again
understood what this country
really stands for. John Dos
Passes, the distinguished Ameri
can author, has said, “this coun
try was not founded to furnish
glamorous offices for politicians,
or to produce goods and services,
or handouts of easy money. This
country was founded to make
men free.” In the wealth of
material comfort we have en
joyed so long, we have tended
to forget that great truth. Now
we must return to the simple
fundamental—“This country was
founded to make men free.’ 1
We face a two-faceted task. We
must fight with all we have
against our enemies outside. And,
while we are undergoing all the
sacrifices and trials that may in
volve, we must keep our people
free. One of the greatest dangers
is that we may grant so much

WHY NOT?
The cotton growers are being
asked to increase production.
The producers of many other
products are being asked to in
crease production.
War has made this imperative.
Industry will do its part. It
gets contracts at good war prices
for what it produces. The manu
facturer knows before he makes
it what he is going to get. And
that’s all right.
Why not the same thing for
cotton?
Producing it carries far more
hazards than manufacturing most
items. It has all of the head
aches of financing, labor, etc., and
the adversities of seasons, in
sects, and diseases in addition.
Look at Virginia. For 10 years
it had averaged 378 pounds of
lint cotton per acre. The boll
weevil hit, and the past season
they harvested 96 pounds per
acre. The same or a higher ex
pense of production. Yet a fourth
of the harvest! We waged an
extensive and expensive poison
ing campaign and did better. But
added cost was there.
If the cotton grower is to pro
duce for war, he should at least
have a fair bottom placed on the
price of his product. Even then
he will have the gauntlet of
pests and seasons to run. (Note:
Since the above was written in
late November a 90 percent of
parity price support for 1951 cot
ton has been announced, about
30 cents a pound now).

ELECTRICITY TO THE FARMS
Down many a rural lane I see
electric wires being strung to
ibe far places. And nothing has
ever meant more to rural life.
As one farmer told me sometime
ago, “I’m living on Main Street
now.’’ His red clay road bad
been paved and electricity had at
last reached him.
Back in the fall 1 addressed
the Mid-Carolines Electric Cooper
ative’s annual 'meeting at Lex
ington. The courthouse was pack
ed with 600 patrons! My old
home folks down there seen * to
appreciate their organization that
brought this benediction to their
homes. And that boy Wise
i laugh man f their manager, who
finished Clemson in *31, seems to
be doing a specially fine job of
keeping and building member in
terest. ^
I can well remember when
Clemson s G. H. Stewart £pid the
county agents over the state were
wrestling with the problems of
getting electric cc^operatives start
ed. And from there on their
elected farmer-directors have car
ried on in fine shape. But at
some places the member interest
is not shown as it was at Lex
ington. Folks, you had better
turn out once a year for that
annual meeting.
You like your electricity mighty
well. And don’t just take it for
granted. There is certain im
portant business that only a
quorum of members can attend
to.
A LITTLE WATER DID IT
County Agen McCord of George
town said: “A final check of
the 33 three-acre com contest
fields revealed that in spite of
a generally unfavorable season
there were four producers who
were fortunate enough to receive
a little more rain who pro
duced more than 106 bushels per
acre.”
Yes, a little water at the right
time cah work wonders on any
crop, and especially corn.
We do everything in our power
for good yields, yes, except irri
gate. And along comes one of our
off-recurring droughts and skims
off the season’s profit.
Here and there a farmer is
trying portable irrigation. Results
are satisfactory everywhere I’ve
seen. With it you can supply
that “little more rain’* that Mc
Cord spoke of that gave them
what they were shooting at, over
100 bushels of com per acre.
The dflly difference is, you
can’t count upon that “little more
rain’’ coming at the right time,
while you control the shower
that comes from irrigation. Clem-
son’s Garvin is avavilable through
your county agent to help you
plan irrigation.

BOYS ARE THAT WAY
We kids didn’t know about cow
boys. But we reveled in the
stories of Daniel Boone and David
Crockett. An old book we had
told us about them. And we lived
their lives in onr dream world-
battling Indians, hunting big
game, and fighting the wild
erness..
In carrying out our dreams, we
lived a lot in the woods, on the
creeks, and across the rugged
hills. Thus a love of hunting was
built. Most of the boys de
veloped into good shots. Bnt I
never did. I think one incident
changed my course before I had
learned.
At about 10 my brother let
me have his single-barrel shot
gun. I simply lived with it. Even
during the summer, when I could
not hunt, I would take it out and
just hold and handle it for hours.
It was my most treasured po
ssession.
On a winter day I returned
from shooting robins back in the
