2-CENT POST CARD
ASKED BY TRUMAN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27—Pres
ident Truman asked Congress to
day to double the cost of penny
postcards and Increase other pos
tal rates to raise an additional
361 million dollars annually.
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.

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.

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.

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.
