Friday, April is, issi THE NEWBERRY SUN ■i-fc-rraru. FARMS AND FOLKS OVER AND OVER In 1918, as a young man, I drove from Columbia to Charles ton in a T-Model Ford. It was a hard day's drive over rough roads all the way. We were at war, and I saw folks cutting poles for pilings for the navy yard along the way. They haul ed them with ox-drawn log carts to the station and shipped them by rail. In 1941 I rode from Columbia over surface-treated roads in a Plymouth in four hours. We were at war again, and they were cutting pine trees along the way for piling again and hauling them to the Charleston navy yard in trucks with long saplings for coupling poles. In 1951 1 rode from Columbia to Charleston over smooth slabs of concrete in a Pontiac in two hours. We were at war again. Folks were cutting poles for pil ing in the Low Country and haul ing them to the Navy Yard in great trailer-trucks that carried about a carload. Wonder what the next chapter to this story will be? It seems that everything was changing ex cept the need for trees. IRRIGATION PAYS Pew folks got much from their winter grazing planted last fall. But Hanna Bros, of Abbeville did. When I went by there with County Agent Bull, I learned they had had plenty of good grazing for their dairy herd all winter. The fall was dry. They planted on time and irrigated it. One of the brothers told me it was ready for grazing in 30 days. It was five months before many folks got any grazing from their fall-seeded stuff, out in February, after some moisture came and it warmed up a little. And on the winter grazing tour in Richland with County Agent Bailey we saw what irrigation could do again. Mr. 'Derrick, of the Epworth Orphanage farm, showed us 30 acres of fescue and Ladino clover that had furnished green feed for 75 dairy cattle every day for the past 12 months! He had irrigated it 4 times, but said he believed it would have paid to give it this supplementary water about four additional times. And he put the fertility to it. But look how it paid off! He fed $2,700 less feed than the year before and got 11,000 addi tional gallons of milk! That fig ures over $270 per acre from that w'ell fed and well watered pasture in 12 months. No wonder some folks think w r e look through rose-tinted glasses when we talk of our pasture po tential here. We have known grass in the past but to fight it in the cotton patch. Now that we are beginning to foster it as a crop, we are finding out sur prising things about it. And it carries a golden promise for our future here on cotton’s lost acres. For, remember, we have about two acres that have gone from cotton for every one still in it. We are making that one in cot ton better and better with cotton as time goes on. Now the big job is to find profitable use for the greater acreage that has gone from cotton. And, surely, grass cannot be overlooked in this.

C. FFRTIL2E SUMMER PASTURES TOO When a fellow gets of the mind to lime, fertilize, and seed one of these new pastures we are put ting in all over the state, he usually continues to give it the attention that’s needed for success. But when it comes to the old standbys, Bermuda, Dallis, and lespedeza, they are usually left to shift for themselves, as of yore. Folks, let’s try giving these pasture plants, that carried us back there before we had the good pastures we now have, a chance too. While riding with County Agent Gray of Green ville, we went by the W. J. and Paul Verdin farm. They had fine fescue and Ladino clover there in midwinter that they had handled right. And a big part of that handling right was last summer when their cattle were making full use of their limed and fertilized summer pasture of lespedeza. Bermuda grass, and Dallis grass. That let the other build up a good reserve of growth for winter. Yes, Mr. Verdin said it was surprising the amout of grazing he got from that old Bermuda plot that was made very fertile. GARDEN IN THE FIELD Some folks farm with tractors now. Don’t even • have a mule. And that just about does away with the old garden. Now we need to put it out there in the 1 field, and wo"k It right on through with the tractor. With modern freezing and canning, we can grow enough of many things to last the year through with one planting there. And vegetables grow good on that clean laud out in the field.

The old wood burner brought the ice to our station in a sack of sawdust on Saturday afternoons. And ice cream resulting was made in a homemade contraption consisting of a friction-top molasses bucket that we turned back and forth by the handle, and this was immers ed in ice and salt in the water bucket. The week before it had all been ruined by salt getting in the cream. So by this time, having skipped a week, we were ever- morely ready to eat, when it came to ice cream. It was about June then. Straw berries that had been fortifying our ice cream along in the spring j were out. The first blackberries had Just came in. the running sort that gets ripe first. My bro ther had an idea that looked bright. The strawberries had add ed so much. Why wouldn’t those dewberries too, if added to the makln’s for ice cream? So we picked a batch, mashed them up, and added them to the ag gregate. We were keen with anticipa tion, as we whlrlpd the friction- top bucket in that pail of ice and salt. When we took the lid off to cut It from the sides. It look ed a sickly bluish pink. But that didn’t dampen our ardor. For strawberries had made it simply divine. And surely good dew berries should do the same. At last it was frozen. Saucers were helped as usual, with a great pyramid of the frozen de light. As each tasted it, a look of keen disappointment came. The stuff was so insipid and flat that even hungry country youngsters couldn't eat It. We left it. It melted. And the hogs got it next In their slop. After that we took no chances. We had planned to use mulber ries with It for the summer, for they lasted. But we never tried them, after the fiasco with dew berries. r * N. C. spent the weekend with relatives at Adams Camp.

Holder, Z21 Columbus, Montgomery, Ala., is the mother of two children and has two grandchildren. This young grandmother works as an inspector at a glass company in Montgomery. She says: “I was nervous and run down and I had lost weight and had no ap petite—food just didn’t interest me. I had aches and pains. I felt miserable. My mother started taking HADACOL and it did her so much good that I decided to give it a try. After the fi^st bottle I noticed an improvement. I have now taken six bot tles and feel grand. I am no longer nerv ous or run-down. I have loads of energy. I have a big appetite and have regained the weight I had lost. No more aches or pains either. Today I feel wonderful, just wonderful, and I owe it to HADACOL for it has done so much for me. I just can’t praise it enough.” Mrs. Flatia C. Kauf man, 2436 70th Are., Baton Rouge, Louisiana t ‘‘I have been takings HADACOL for over a year. Before I started taking HADACOL I was terribly nervous and upset all the time. I was underweight and S st couldn’t eat at all. y appetite was so lax that I ate ir^gularly at all hours of the day. Then I started taking HADACOL. After the third bottle I felt 100% better. I have gained weight, my appetite is tremen dous and, best of all, I sleep well nights and my nerves are steady as can be. HAD ACOL is a very wonderful product. I just can’t praise HADACOL enough.” - Jamas D. Singletary, 236 Oak St., Louisville, Ky.t “Before I start taking HADACOL the: wasn’t a person in world who could get | along with me—seem like the least little thing would upset me. I was tired all the time and i really affected my work. I had a hard time sleep ing—just roll and toss and cat-nap all night long. I didn’t eat properly either. Then one day I heard how other folks with the same troubles I had were being helped by HADACOL. I tried it and noticed an im- S rovement after the first couple of bottles. ow I feel good—get along with every body—I’m not a bit nervous—sleep l ? ke a log and appetite—why, I can hardly support myself, I eat so much. Yes, sir— HADACOL is really fine and I recom mend it.” Mrs. Jennie Lee Adele, 412 N. 27 St., East St. Louis, III.: “I have been nurse for over 14 years. My food never seemed to agree with me. 1 0 heard one day how so* many folks were ing helped because of HADACOL. I tried it and after 3 bottles I could tell a big im provement.
