Mr. Truman • said . all rates ex cept those for first class mail should be boosted to wipe out most of the present postal depart ment deficit of 521 million dol lars a year. The President proposed that second class mall rates on the carrying of newspapers and* mag azines be at least doubled. How ever, he said that the postal de ficit would not be completely cli mated because there are costs incurred In handling official gov- ernment mail, as well as airline subsidies that run about 160 mil lion dollars annually.

Flowers and Gifts for All Occasions CART E R’S Day Phone 719 — Night 6212 Two friends of mine, Barney Peters and L*irton Blassingame, drove 40 miles out of New York a few months back to experi ment with a new idea for shoot ing crows. They wore homemade head nets of green mosquito netting. With their faces hooded by the netting and their hands dabbed with mud they found that the crows came closer and stayed longer. But still there were times when the birds flared away unaccountably. They decided it was clothes In all but the densest cover a distinct, manlike shape could be made out. So a couple of days later they bought surplus Marine Corps camouflage suits and head nets. What happened when they first tried these getups on the crows was startling. They took a stand in fairly sparse cover. Blassingame with gun and call, Peters with camera focused at 100 feet. The crows were over them In a minute. Seconds later the woods were a Hot. Crows were flying among the tree trunks like ruffed grouse. When it was all over, four shots later, Blassingae had seriously wounded three aples and Peters had exposed some pictures that were a complete flop because the crows were all out of focus—they had been too close! And that was the whole trouble: they were geared for 30-and 40-yard shooting. Had they been well hidden In brush below the maples, I would n’t have been so surprised at the was those crows came in. But they’d been standing with no at tempt at concealment. Later they found that this sort of thing is by no means unusual, particularly when they stood so that there was plenty of sunlight and shadow on the camouflage suits. From this experience they nat urally went on to further ex periments. They learned that for camouflage to be most effective Its wearer should stand before a backdrop of greenery at least as tall as he is and of the same approximate coloration as his suit.% Further, you’ve got to re main still until the crows are close enough for a good shot. By now they have shot form just about every sort of cover imaginable with amazing suc cess. And the thing that appeals to me is that you don't have to fuss with a blind, or rig up an awl on a pole.

MARTIN Radio and Television Service SALES and SERVICE BOYCE STREET Opposite County Library 24 HOUR SERVICE Telophona 811 FARMS AND FOLKS The farthest I’ve ever been was down in Mexico City last September. Naturally I thought I would never find any link with South Carolina down there. Bui I did. two of ‘em. One of the trips we took while down there was a two-day awing with the joint Mexican-Amertcan commission that Is wiorklng on the control of ,the black flv on citrus. Dr. A. C. Baker is the top scientist from this coun try that has been working on that and similar problems down there for years. And his right-hand assistant is J. F. Cooper. I learned that Dr. Cooper, when a teen-age boy, came to South Carolina from Canada prospectine for gold. And he spent quite some time in the vicinity of Paco- let, camping out and panning for gold in the streams of that'vicin ity. I asked him if he got any. He said yes. Not enough to get ridh at, but enough to pay his limited expenses with and live. So there was a link with South Carolina I hadn't expected. Now, can’t you imagine my amazement when I found that this J. F. Cooper was the same little likeable Jimmy Cooper that was raised at Florence and who worked at Clemson’s experiment station there for several years before he went south! So for two delightful dayp we went Into many a nook and cor ner of that land of strange con trasts below the border with friends who knew South Carolina well. SOYS IN CALHOUN Was with County Agent Cain in Calhoun the other day. He told me their soybean acreage grew each year. And it fits in mighty well with their farming systam too, he said. They grow a lot of grain, and make good grain too. Soybeans are planted there then following grain, thousands of acres of ’em. The beans make a good money crop. And their rich residue is left to turn under. Cain says you can really tell on the following crop where the soybeans were. The principal bean they plant now is a rather new one develop ed by their plant breeder, J. E. Wannamaker. It goes by the name of J. E. W. 46. It was bred up from the Arksoy, I under stand. It is larger than the Clemson Non-Shatter bean that Mr. Wannamaker put out some years ago. And the new one is shatter-resistant too. Two staple money crops and two crops residues to turn under on land the same year is really farming fast. These soybeans are In good demand by the oil mills. Cain said a half dozen mill* bought crushing beans there. GftAIN STORAGE With this state’s grain acre age doubled In recent years and the yield up over fifty percent, we have tons of grain where we used to have a few bushels. With this Clemson method being applied to more and more of our corn, the corn yield has almost doubled in the past 10 years. Choir Singing CONTEST* ^Program EVERY SUNDAY WKDK Sunday 3:30 P. M. 1240 kc Along with this increase in grain and corn pomes the need for storage. The little shirttails full of these things we used to make could soon be eaten up by live stock that then had to largely root for a living. But livestock, to be profitable, has to eat pret ty well the year around. W# use grazing more and more all year through. But grain and corn are needed a lot at places along to supplement and finish things off. And we can’t do all of that at gathering time. And In the crude storage that most farms have, losses from rats and Insects are great on stored grains and corn. Therefore, to accommodate our growing grain and corn produc tions, and to supply a growing livestock and poultry business the year through, we need safe storage for these products. We need to store them for regulated use on the farms. And we need a place to clean, dry, and safely keep them for collateral and feed them into the market as they are needed. Just recently Florence- had its official opening of their farmers’ cooperative grain storage facility. Corn was a drug on the market at harvest time. Then they start ed taking it in safe storage there ahd the price immediately went up where it belonged. All of this started over there, I under stand, when District Agent J. T. Lazar and County Agent McLen don called a group together in April. A strong working com mittee was appointed then. It carried on and at harvest time, they had their facility. BOYS ARE THAT WAY In a young boy’s eyes, a man is about the greatest thing there is» And men know this, for each of them was once a boy. Looks like that would make ‘em a little careful about the examples they set. Specially so in the case of daddies. Tobacco chewing was common among men when I was growing up. I thought it looked big to chew it and spit red. I tried all sorts of bark to get that effect. Even tasted tobacco once. But it burned like a coal of fire and I didn’t try again. And fortunate ly the delusion faded before I mastered it. I remember watching the men, as they came from the field, wash their hands there on the back porch. My, how they could dirty up that water! I wanted to do that too. But mine wouldn’t ink it up like heirs would. I remem ber wetting mine and going out in the iack yard and fixing ‘em up in asnes and soot at the wash pot. Then I could do like a man and really dirty that water up. And smoking too, I tried that. First it was cross-vine, and then rabbit tobacco from down in the pasture wrapped in newspaper in to large cigaretts. Later I tried a pipe for two days, puffing it hard. That blistered my tongue and I quit. And my final flight was with cigarettes on a cold day that we were hauling a wagonload of turkeys to Colum bia for Christmas. It was 20 miles down there, and It took lust about all day each way. roads were so bad. We stopped at Irmo on the way down and ~ot some cigarettes. We kept f he smoke a-flying’ for that last 10 miles. My tonerue was al most blistered that time too. But the worst part of It was I could n’t taste a thing I ate. And my cousins in to^n had some mighty fine town rations for us while we were, there. But, alas, they meant nothing to me. Everything tasted alike, or rather failed to taste much at all. For my pow ers of taste had been smothered out for the time being with acrid smoke. And that just about ended my trying to act like a man. ' And soon I was one.
