FARMS
AND
FOLKS
The Vanishing Catawabas
I had -long planned to visit
the Catawba Indian reservation
at a secluded nook in York coun
ty. The other day I did.
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

of them get where they work
in Rock Hill.
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.

ominous swishing and a clack,
clack, clack.

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.
He can now actually Identify a
few species at some distance,
just by listening to the particu
lar sound of their wings!
So here is a whole new world
for the sportsman and amateur

the water into the object he saw
ijimly there under 1 thte towel
rack. 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
