Had a most unsual experience there. I went by to contact the govern ment man in Rock Hill, who is a sort of county agent for the Indians, and found him making out his annual report (how like a county agent!). I noticed his name was Suiter. Sounded like that of the small farmer back in the mountains of Kentucky who was first found growing the now famous Kentucky 31 or Suiter’s Fescue. So, Just to start the con versation, I - said that sounds like the name of the man who first started with the new famous fes cue. And imagine my astonish ment when he said, “Yes, that was my father. 1 ’ He said his father some 30 or 40 years ago noticed a few bunches of that dark green grass growing there in the mountain cove in the winter when every thing else was dead and dornamt. He selected a few ' seed by hand and planted & few square yards. As the area extended, he would cut the seed with an old grain cradle and thrash them out by hand until he finished planting his patch and gave some to neighbors. Folks were attracted by it when they entered the cove in th% dead of winter. It was so unusual to look up the val ley and see that little spot of dark green, when all other vegeta tion was parched brown apd crisp by the frosts of winter. This „ great grass remained there in the cove tor years, un noticed by the outside wourld that needed such a winter grass so much-. Grasses from the far places were- gathered by plant explorers and tried out at dif ferent places in this country. Some of these have found a place in -our-grassland farming. But none have quite caused the sen sation that this one did soon after Extension Agronomist Wm. C. Johnstone of Kentucky found this grass on the Suiter farm in 1931 identified It as a fescue, and nam ed it Kentucky 31 Fescue. But I started out to tell you about my visit with Mr. Suiter at the Catawba Indian reserva tion. Once the owners of a vast area in that section, by treaty and trick they were years ago re legated io a few hundred acres of some of the poorest, most .rug ged, and unresponsive land in that area. Roads were Just a^out non-existent in there until a few years ago. In recent years the state has bought additional lands for them, a better school has been . -provided, and / the high school students are hauled into Rock Hill.- Now they have 4,200 acres of land. Mr. Suiter has been placed there to work with them and; try to develop a farm ing income, for the tribe in ad dition to the mill wages that most WANT ADS 1 am prepared to assist you with the filing of your Federal and State .

Along the Catawba River they are developing some fine fescue and Ladino clover pastures, with serlcea and common lespedesa on the hills. They have something like 50 nice beef cattle that they got largely on a barter basis from another Indian tribe out west. They* can either pay for these cattle outYigbt or return cattle pound for pound as their herd increases. - These pastures and the cattle belong to the tribe. Then some of the families also farm a bit and make pottery on their own. But work in the tdills of the-area largely- sustains- them. I learned that they, were a proud and intelligent tribe that was always friendly to the whites. TT Although they have dwindled from a great Indian to a small tribe of 106 families, 360 individu als, they have maintained their racial purity pretty well, only occasionally intermarrying with whites. The land is owned by the tribe. But lots are given to any who want to build better houses of. their own, and many have. Most if the others still live in rather crude shacks. I left feeling that maybe the efforts now being exerted to help the Catawbas might succeed in rescuing them from the fate of extinction, that had begun to look so eminent. But the Red Man was born to the great out of doors, to the hunt, and to fish for his needs from clear tumbling waters of a day that is gope. Whether his dwindling remnants can ad just themselves to a high pres- sureage and endure remains to be seen. Surely they deserve every help we can give them. laughing, and ate a cold dinner, at full speed. There was an ominous swishing and a clack, clack, clack. DIO YOU KNOW THIS? Bf TW KMStimg BOYS ARE THAT WAY It was a cold winter day. The bucket of water would freeze so quick at Its usual place on the back porch shelf that we had moved it in to the washstand in the company room. There it sat In a dim corner, and the waste water bucket sat on the floor under the towel rack. On a bitter cold Saturday a favorite cousin dropped by to warm in late morning. The folks prevailed on him to stay for din ner. Sauerkraut was cooking on the stove, and the baked sweet potatoes were already giving off their aroma, as they were being kept warm there on the apron of the stove. Cured and smoked country sausage were a simmer ing there in the pan. Cracklin’ corn bread was being put in the oven, and fresh buttermilk had already been poured from the churn. All of these things ap pealed to a Dutchman; so he was rather easy to stay. My brother and I had been busy filling the closet with wood, for It looked like it might snow. The folks had already gone to the table when we rushed in up on hearing the bell. He got to the washstand first, rinsed his hands off in a jiffy, and poured Hunters are often exasperated because deer can hear them, but they can’t hear the deer. I know a man who did something about it — Red Leekley. He was in trigued by the realization that all around us there is a world of sound which we humans know nothing about. He eavesdropped on that world and had one of the most amazing and exciting out door experiences one could hope to have. A partially deaf acquaintance Red met on the street one day unwittingly put him on the right track. He wore a hearing aid. What would a sound booster of this kind do if he hooked it up to his normal ears? The idea was so exciting he could hardly wait to get one and take it out into the woods He built a blind in a section of the northern Wisconsin woods which he^ knew was well stocked with deer and other wildlife. Then he hid himself with a feeling akin to buck fever and began his first attempt to listen in on nature at home, at work and at play. The first blasts were a star* tllng experience. Red didn’t know whether to duck, to run or just sit tight and pray There were creakings and groaning, rustling, a sound of distant feet running The clack he* eventually iden tified as his watch. The swish took awhile, but finally he no ticed a crow was calmly flapniner his way overhead, well above tree top altitude. Do you see, now. how the approach of a crow or hawk does not often go un noticed by other creatures, with their sensitive and trained hear ing? Once Red spotted a weasel, whose camouflage was nearly perfect He the.n learned Ms sound, which from then on had a positively identifiable charac ter. Presently he was shown un deniable proof that the sound was readily audible to other ears. A woods mouse suddenly darted from beneath a bunch of grass while the weasel was stiP several feet from it. The squeak ing of the mouse in its terror was plainly brought in through the hearing aid, aa was - the sound of ita running on' the crusted snow. Newberry, P B. Ezell —* The marketing of milk products in Newberry county is taken care of by a complete coverage of the county with grade A milk routes, the Borden milk trucks, and creamery routes. There are 60 grade A dairies in the county. Cattle and hog marketing Is tak en care of by the Newberry Pack* ing Company and auction markets in nearby counties Two poultry dressing plants are located in Newberry and poultry and egg routes cover about one-half the county. Grain is marketed at the local milling company and the marketing of pecans, farm seed, and hay brings our farmers a sise* able income. / The above was taken from the Ulemson Agricultural College news letter, edited by S. C. S. Stribling. Red has been listening to the sound of various ducks in flight.

For some reason the wate bucket hadn’t been put there in its accustomed place. They had put it on the other side of the washstand so our cousin could see it. Well, sir, through force of habit, my brother dashed that water in to what he thought was the waste water bucket and it was our cousin’s wide brimmed wool hat! We didn’t go in to dinner. We suddenly had business else where and disappeared down in the pasture behind ^ithe dense cedars. We listened, and when we heard his buggy rattling down the rocky road, we emerged, still .
