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.

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.
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
Our first ice cream had been
mostly good old vanilla. And,

ment.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smith ' and
their little son Billy of Brevard,
my, how good that stuff was
when it first came to our stone
hills there In the Dutch Fork
when I was a kid! 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.

HADACOL Will Help These Conditions When Due to Such Deficiencies
Mrs. R, H. 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.”

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.”

412 N. 27 St., East St.

nurse for over 14
years. My food never
seemed to agree with
me. 1 0 heard one day
how so* many folks were

HADACOL. I tried it
and after 3 bottles I
could tell a big im

does not bring just symptomatic relief.
HADACOL now makes it possible to. ac
