PINE POSTS THAT LAST
Ten years ago Clemson’a W.
C. Nettles visited various county
agents and. put on fence post
treating demonstrations with a
material that was new. It was
chromated zinc chloride.
County Agent Jackson of Wil
liamsburg has kept an annual
check on the green unpeeled pine
posts thus treated there on two
farms.
On the Marvin P. Mitchum
farm 13 such posts were treated
in 1940 and put in a line of
fence. At present aU of these
are still in service and only one
shows a bit of decay where the
staples were driven in it.
And on A. M. Gordan’s farm
seven posts were treated and
used. All seven Are still in use
and five ar showing some decay
where the staples entered.
Enduring fence posts from
small pine saplingfe that are
neither split nor peeled is some
thing new. Clemson’s circular
262 on ‘ILonger Life for Fence
Posts” has Just recently been re
vised and is free for the asking
from your county agent’s office.
It covers this zinc and other
methods of treating posts. This
form of zinc is a DuPont prdouct
and can be gotten through the
usual channels. Mr. Nettles says
it comes considerably cheeper In
the larger containers.
CORN IN MARION - ™*
•
The 36 corn contestants in Mar
ion county averaged 72.3 bushels
per acre last year, according to
County Agent King’s records.
The 10 highest of these averaged
103.2 bushels per acre! “Hybrid
strains led in yield per acre, with
Dixie 18 leading and N. C.' 27 a
close second,” he says.
I was down in Clarendon when
they delivered their corn con
test prises. Ed Player was one
of the winners with 104 bushels
on his acre. That was his “Yord’s
Acre,” so planned from the start.
As County Agent Grainger hand
ed him his prize check, he asked
him if that didn’t belong to the
Lord too.
There is something genuine,
fine, and gentle about the people
of Clarendon. I like to go down
there. Eleven of their farmer®
made over 100 bushels of cor *.
per acre on their prise fields the'
past season. Except for a June
drought, they would have had
many more.
TREE SETTER FOR MARLBORO
Assistant County Agent Epps of
Marlboro has quite a hand for
machinery. He has constructed
a pine tree setting machine, about
which he says the following:
“The local Ford tractor dealer
furnished all material and will
keep up the machine. It will be
available free of charge to any
farmer who plans to set pine
seedlings on his farm.”
THE LORD’S ACRE
The grand old custom of plant
ing an acre of something tor the
Lord still holds at places.
LUPINES KILLED
The hard freezes of early win
ter cleaned up the thousands of
acres of blue lupines in the Allen-
dale-Barnwell-Hampton area.
County Agdht Searson * says
there has been a lot of planting
over. But it was mighty late
for that. It has proven to be
such a good crop that they Just
hated to miss out with it this
year and risked late replantings.
County Agent Thompson says
that 1 to 20 thousand acres were
killed by the cold in Hampton
county, y /
It is t two-way crop. A great
soil builder, and the seed make a
good money crop in addition.
Searson says somd yields of soy
beans following lupines were as
high as 30-odd bushels' per acre,
while those following grain ran
from 10 to 16 bushels.
CATTLE IN ORANGEBURG
County Agent McComb tells me
that the 53 head of cattle recent
ly sold by the Duncan Hereford
Farm there averaged J870 each!
Mr. Duncan has good cattle and
they brought good money too.
Shows what can be done with
cattle on cotton’s lost acres. .
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
The first show I ever saw
came to our Stone Hills in a
covered wagon when I was about
7 years old. I think it was the
first of any sort that had ever
been there. That was shout 1902.
The only ads it had were the
gaudy pictures sketched on the
canvas cover. They scared ns.
And we carried the word home
from school that Friday ( after
noon.
Everybody went, and the little
schoolhouse was filled to over
flowing that night. Money was
very scarce, but they would ac
cept some chickens and eggs for
admission, or corn and fodder
for their two homes.
We arrived early, before good
dark. The monkey, one of the
main features of the ehow, was
tied on the back side of the wag
on to a spoke. We kids im
mediately drifted back there. We
were eating some cookies we
HIS SAUSAGE
TURNED TRICK
TALMO, Ga., Jan. 21—A $600,-
000 business was done in 1950 in
a North Georgia community of
147 families by a man who 25
years ago peddled sausage from
a buggy. His gross income from
a pork and beef packing plant in
1949 reached ^almost a half mil
lion, and the increase last year
was due to a new $30,000 addi
tional processing plant which was
completed about six months ago.
He is R. H. McEver, propietor
of the McEver Packing Company
at Talmo, Georgia.
It was In 1925, Mr. McEver
says when he got started in the
meat business. ‘‘I killed a large
hog that was more than the tami-
iy could use. I made it into
sausage and sold it to a cafe and
the chief of police. They liked
it, and I’ve been making sausage
ever since.”
The McEver plant has ex
panded since then. An average
of 125 hogs and 75 cows is
slaughtered every Week in a mod
ern building that covers over an
acre of ground near where that
first hog was butchered 25 years
ago. The plant includes six cold
storage' lockers, and three trucks
make deliveries every week to
an area, qf about 100 miles around
Talmo.
The new 90 by 20 foot addition,
a fireproof construction of brick
and steel, includes a 20 by 20
foot freezer locker.
had carried in our pockets. They
were hard and ‘crunchy. We
threw one to the monkey. He
picked it up. bit on it, but it was
too crisp for his liking. So he
dropped it in a salmon can that
they had given him some water
in. He left it in the water to
soften. When he reached in for
it, it had gotton perfectly soft and
went between his fingers. We
thought that awful funny and ail
laughed with glee. The monkey
looked at us curiously a moment.
Then be poked his hand down
there and stirred the soft cooky
and , water togteher, turned the*
can iip and drank it 'down.
Well, sir, we thought that was
one of the funniest things we had
ever seen.
Space it out. Next week I’ll tell
you about that show.

Mr. McEver says that his suc
cess didn’t come easily. “In
fact,” he said, “the first sausage
I started out with in 1925 never
did seil. Instead, it graveled 'H
road.”
Packing the sausage in a lard
can, Mr. McEver tied ^t with a
small piece of wire to the back
of the bur-' r y and began his trek
to the heart of the little farming
community. (
“I had just reached the top of
a long hill when I heard a thud
back of the buggy. I turned just
in time to see that can of sausage
rolling down the hill.” Mr. Mc
Ever went back home for more
sausage, and that day the Mc
Ever Packing Company was born.
From 1925 to 1934', all work at
the plant, most of it by Mr. Mc
Ever and his wife, was done by
hand. Old fashioned ice boxes
were used for storage of the
meat. In 1930 Mr. McEver hired
his first two employees.
Four years later the Georgia
Power Company built an electric)
line to Talmo. Mr. McEver Im-.
mediately built his first cold
storage locker, a 10 by 8 foot
room which he constructed him
self. The cooler was enlarged in
1939, and butcher and sausage
rooms added. Another cooler was
completed in 1946.
MAYBANK, ORDERED TO R£?T
, WASHINGTON. Jan. 21— Al
though Senator Burnet R. May-
bank has bpen ordered by his
doctors to take a “complete rest”
at Key West where he.Is recup
erating from a recent Illness, the
energetic lawmaker is keeping in
close touch with happenings on
Capitol Hill.
Seldom a day passes that his
associates in the Senate do not
receive a long, hand-written let
ter from the Senator.) The clerk
of the Banking and Currency
Committee of which Maybank, is
chairman has already received
several of these letters pertain
ing to housing legislation and
general committee business,
Several members of his office
staff have also received letters
in the distinctive handwriting of
the senator, who has been ^xlled
irom his Washington haunts, but
continues not only to keep up
with correspondence, but to rorig-
nate it.
Besides the long letters, the
senator keeps in touch with his
office by telephone and'in addi
tion, sends out a steady stream of
postcards to his Acquaintances in
Washington.
Onef of these acquaintances re
marked yesterday, “1 hope the
senator is writing these while he
is on the beach—that is about as
near a vacation as tie will ’ ever
get.”

Long-term
that pays da
T hese days thoughtful people turn their minds
to the durability of things they purchase.
But it’s rare when doing your duty turns out to be
the best way to satisfy your heart’s desire.
That’s what’s so mai^velous about this ’51 Buick.
If you picked a car just for the lift it gives you—
your pride in its power—or its generous comfort—
you couldn’t make a better choice.
4 ■ ' . .
But make note of this:
That gleaming new push-bar forefront, which
greets your eye with flashing beauty, contains 25
grille bars made of stamped steel, individually
mounted to "give” and come back unharmed.
Combined with a massive, wrap-around bumper,
fortressed by two stalwart "bumper bombs” and
two added uprights, it gives unsurpassed
protection. v
Springs of stout spiraled steel on all four wheels
let your wheels curtsey over bumps, while you ride
, level as a lance. But they also need no servicing,
and breakage is virtually unknown.
Buick’s great-powered engine is a Fireball, won-
drously lively and eager at the mere touch of your
toe —but it also wrings extra power from every
drop of fuel, and has the mechanical perfection
'• x. * " vst t- t -.r vix>

that cbmes only from years of experience with this
basic design. '
Dynaflow Drive gives you effortless smoothness of
control—but it also eliminates clutch repair bills,
saves tires, eases strain on the whole driving
mechanism, from engine to differential.
The road-steady gait of a Buick assures relaxed
security — and is also evidence that you have a
durable, deep-silled, X-braced frame beneath you.
However you check it, you’ll discover this: The
things that make you yearn for a Buick on first
acquaintance, are the very same things that make
Buick such a smart long-time buy.
Better see your Buick dealer—soon.
