FARMS AND FOLKS APPLYING THE MEASURE A month ago the 1951 15-polnt agricultural program for South Tarolina was published by Clem* son. It contained the boiled-down ideas of farm folks and agency workers in the counties, as brought out by their 1951 plan ning meetings. These were or ganized and added to bjj th« specialists at Clemson. Then' the State Agricultural Committee heard them, made their sugges tions, and added their contribu tion to them. Then they came to us as a sort of guide for 1961. A lot of good thought and ex perience went into that 15-point 1951 Agricultural Program for South Carolina. You’ve seen a lot about It in the papers and heard a lot of it on the radio. Apply the 15-points to your faru> ing operation and see how you stack up. It embodies a lot of the real thing out of which suc cess is made. THRIFT IS A HABIT Thrift is a habit.

Spinach is one thing I never could eat. Even though I have the digestion of a horse, the stuff always disagreed with me. I forced it down for a while, but eventually just quit trying. And now I’m glad. For word comes from the nutritionist that my old friend Turnip Greens carries more nutritional wallop than long-tooted spinach does! More folks like turnip greens anyway, I believe. Pm fond of ‘em . We always ate a lot of ’em at home, and we still do. I lik* ed ‘em for their taste, not for their rich content. I knew noth ing of that. But listen to what Professor Van Blaricom, the foods man of Clemson, has to say about turnip greens: They have three times as much calcium in them as spinish does, almost three times as much vita min A as butter, twice as much calcium as milk and almost as much protein. Fresh turnip greens have nearly three times as much vitamin C as fresh orange juice, some of which Is lost though in cooking. They are good sources' of phosphorous and also contain considerable of the B-complex vitamins. And they contain more thiamine, ribo flavin, and half as niuch niacin as regular corn falkes. Now, folks I don’t know what all of those things are. But I know they are all so important in what we eat that mothers for years choked bad-tasting spinach down the throats of their crying and gagging babies because It was supposed to contain these protective food elements. And to be fashionable end properly nourished too, custom decreed that adults too had to eat the stuff that made only\ Popeye great. But now science has found out that spinach does not have all of the power it was once thought to contain. In fact it actually takes from the body something that it was supposed to add. I forget what that was. Those versed in foods can tell you. So now I can look my old friend Turnip Greens in the eyq with confidence, knowing he is loaded with the fine points of nutrition that we all need. And the beauty about the whole thing is, I like ‘em. All green things too are out of sight in price. Nothing is easier to grow nor comes (flick er than good old turnip and allied greens. Plant ‘em now and be eating 'em before the month is over. Your county and home agents have all sorts of other gardening hints too. We’ll need em before this year has passed. Bf T*d KtUirng Sometimes even the most ex perienced sportsmen run out of supplies before getting back to their base. So Paul Johnson has planned an emergency kit that weights only 1 3-4 pounds and can he carried in your hunting coat pocket. This will supply suffici ent nourishment and shelter for a three-day trip. First, get a tin with a good lid that measures 5 x 3i£ x 2Vi inches. This is a standard size tin and is easy to find. Then get the following: three packets of dehydrated soup, thfee plain, sweet chocolate bars, nine bouil lon cubes, one-half pound of rice, a short length of fishline, three or four hooks, water-proofed matches in a waterproof box, a four-inch piece of candle and 40 feet of 90-pound test cod line. To pack these, first place the candle upright in one corner o* thci tin, then pack the nine bouil lon cubes on the bottom after removing any bulky wrappings. Next, place the three packages of dehydrated soup on the side of the can opposite the candle. Now pack the -three chocolate bars upright in the can and pour in some of the rice to fill any spaces. Place the hooks in a small envelope on top of the rice, put the lid on the can and seal it with one-inch wide adhesive tape. Tfien wrap your fishline lengthwise around the can and wrap the cod line neatly around the side of it. You should use the supplies In this manner: For breakfast each day have one of the pack ages of soup, strengthened with one bouillon cube. For lunch, eat one chocolate bar, and for supper boil up one third of the rice with two bouillon cubes. You do all your cooking in the tin containe&r after carefully un packing it. The candle is very useful for lighting a quick fire. The cod line is used for lashing poles when making a lean-to-shelter; and the fishline and hooks are used, if necessary, to augment your diet. This kit is so light and handy that, even if you are going into the woods for only a few hours, It is well to take it along. When properly packed, it will remain in good condition for many months. BOYS ARE THAT WAY Years before I started to school the well at our schoolhouse away back In the woods had caved in. So water was brought in a bucket from the nearest house a quarter of a mile away. We coveted that privilege of going for water. During the long school day from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., we used up a lot of water. Not drinking so much of it as throw ing it away so we could go get another bucketful. In that way the lucky pair who went could use up about a half hour In the great out-of-doors that we liked a lot better than school. Only the medium to larger boys were permitted to go for water.

Brown, retired physi cian, farmer oldest living alumni of Erskine college, local historian, sportsman and the last member of the famous Red Shirts in this section, celebrated his 90th birth day Saturday, Feb. 3, at his Colonial home in the Mt. Bethe' community. Enjoying the three-course din ner and large birthday cake with him were his two sisters, Mrs. B. H. Caldwell and Mrs. B. B. Leitz- sey of the county; his daughter and son-in-law. Dr. and Mrs. E. H. Moore, his son and daughter- in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Chalmers Brown, his two grandchildren, Wilson Moore of Newberry and Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Moore Wat ters of Atlanta, Ga., and their families, including four great granddaughters, Barbara Moore of Newberry, Laurie, Mary Jo and Sally Moore Watters of At lanta, also a number of other close relatives and friends. A brother, Joe Brown of Greenville, was unable to attend. A host of other friends and relatives dropped in during the day to wish him many more years of useful life in his community and to his friends. Dr. Brown re ceived his guests in his courteous warm! friendly manner. The oc casion was a happy one for this beloved gentleman of four score years and ten. Born February 8, 1861, Just 55 days before the firing of the first ?un in the Confederate War, Doctor Brown has led an interest ing life and is a most interest ing conversationalist An ardent sportsman, he likes all types of hunting, but is especially fond of fox hunting. He never misses a chance if he can help it to join in a chase. He spent half of the past Christmas day fox hunting. The doctor has hunted all over Newberry county, running {oxes from early at night until day light and often in daylight. Doctor Brown, one of Newber ry’s most progressive farmers, ip proud of the fact that he has belonged to every farm organiza tion in the county. He organized the first and only land loan as sociation in Newberry county and was president, secretary and treasurer for a long time. Doctor Brown wrote the history of King’s Creek Associate Re formed Presbyterian church of which he is a member, complet ing it in his 90th year. He read this history at the 180th anni versary celebration of this church the pastr October. He has also written the history of Mt. Bethel academy. The site of this school is located three and a half miles from his home. It is important in the history of this state in that it furnished the first junior and senior classes at the University of South Carolina. In 'act the first student to matricu late at the South Carolina college was William Harper of Mt. Beth el academy. He later became a chancellor. Anderson Crenshaw was the first graduate of the col lege in 1806, hut defered taking Ms diploma until 1807 when other Mt. Bethel students were graduat ed According to Doctor Brown, fox hounds are not as good now as they wefe when he first be gan hunting as a boy. The red 'ox was the only kind at that time and was plentiful. The English and Bird-song dogs, which were especially fast, were used ‘o hunt the swift footed little animals. Both of these breeds of dogs were imported. The English dog, vhich was either spotted or speckled, was imported from Eng- ’and by Col. Tom Taylor of Co- umbla, a widely known South Carolina sportsman. The Birdsong dog with its ed silky hair was imported from Holland by Col.- Tom Holloway, an uncle of Henry Holloway, a Newberry attorney. These dogs were excellent hunters and Doc tor Brown always kept & pack of nine ready for a hunt The im ported dogs went out following the disappearance of the red ‘ox and since then the Walker type dogs have been used. Doctor Brown recalled that at the age of four he stood with his mother in their yard in the Mt Bethel community and watched he reflection against the sky of the burning of the city of Colum bia 40 miles away. He played a colorful part in the history of Newberry county when as a member of the Red Shirts he helped to maintain law and order at a critical time. Doctor Brown has a keen retentive mind and to hear him relate the history of this section as he has lived it for 90 years is a wonderful ex- oerience. v Doctor Brown practised medi- :ine for many years until his wealth failed. Since then he has devoted his time to farming and his customary fox hunts. He is the first person to re ceive a diploma for the initial three-year course at the South Carolina Medical college. ^Prior to that time only a two-year course was offered. Doctor Brown also attended Mt. Bethel academy and was graduated from Ersklne college in 1882. He was mar ried to Miss Lizzie Chalmers who died a number of years ago. He has two children, Mrs. Norvice Brown Moore and Chalmers Brown. SGT. SANDERS STATIONED AT HUNTER AIR FORCE BASE Sgt. Frazier Sanders is now stationed at Hunter Air Force Base with Hdq. & Hdq.
