The other day I rode through
woodlands in the Dutch Fork that
had never burned.
On the same day I saw hur
ricanes of fire devastating
promising young woodlands in
the Low Country. For a mile
the smoke obscured the highway.
And I had to creep along with
lights on, even though the sun
was shining bright. The fire
jumped the wide highway at one
place. But the farmer on the
other side had awakened in re
cent years and did not »want it
over there. Luckily, he and a few
helpers were soon able to put
it out over there.
Around home I never saw but
one woods fire until I was
grown, went away, and then saw
much of this destruction. On
that one occasion, everyone laid
down their plows or hoes and lit
out to help that man put it out.
And there was the reason we
didn't have woods fires. We
simply did not want them.
During our great fire season,
man starts Just about all of ‘em.^
For there is no lightning to do
it in the winter time. And if man
doesn't want woods fires, he
simply does not set them. And
if one does get started, he turns
out promptly to fight it.
Much educational work has
been done in late years against
woods burning. And one who
woods fires. So we continue to
have far too many.
The pulpwood people too are
helping preach and teach the
farming of the woods. Selective 1
cuttings and improvement thin
nings, together with fire protec
tion, are building for a continuous
harvest from the woodlands. And
what a good day it will be for
South Carolina when this en
lightenment will reach all lands
and an empire of timber can
come back to our largely denuded
acres!
.tpli/ &pd' . get What’s left. And
what fs left* is often inferior stuff
too/ ' For most crops require ade
quate water to turn out best in
quality as well as in yield.
• With all costs so high, growers
must make every effort to in
sure the harvest, or the sheriff
is liable to have to come around.
A good bit of our land is in easy
reach of running streams. Water
can be economically taken from
them to supply the needed shower
at the critical time on much of
that land. And then a good yield
of quality stuff is practically in
the bag when you plant the crop.
For, as I have said, we have the
know-how for making good yields
of quality stuff, IF WE GET THE
WATER.
Clemson is digging in on this
matter of irrigation, and the re
sults are good. A few farmers in
practically every county are
pioneering with it in the field,
and they too are coming up with
good results. Some are sensa
tional. Through the Camp Irriga-
tioif Fund, the Extension Service
was equipped with a truck and
protable irrigation outfit last year
for field demonstrations. And the
county' agents have arranged
others for this year. Thus irri
gation finds its way to South
Carolina farms.
DROUGHTS TAKE
MIGHTY TOLL
In the past 42 years we have
had 265 droughts!
Weather bureau records show
that. That’s a little over 6
droughts a year that we have
averaged. Periods of two weeks
or longer are counted as droughts
in this calculation.
Of these droughts, 117 were
from 14 days to 21 days. A
total of 79 of them ran from 21
to 27 days. And 69 of them last
ed for over 27 days!
And there we have It. With a
bit over 6 droughts a year on
an average, it is seldom w’e pro
duce a crop of any sort that is
not hampered by drought at some
time during its growth.
Knowing they are coming, for
they always have, we pitch our
crops with that knowledge. And
it enters into our every calcula
tion. We plant, space, fertilize,
and cultivate in conformity with
that knowledge.
The average farmer now has
the know-how from science for
making good yields of any crop
he plants. And he can usually
make . creditable yields, IF HE
GETS THE WATER! .
Yes, drought is the great de
stroyer. And practically every

BOYS ARE THAT WAY
•.Where I was raised it was
just natural for younguns (that’s
what we called children) to go
down with chills and fever per^
iodically in the spring and early
sumnaer. We thought nothing of
if, for it was the natural thing
we . had always known,
Now we know this was malaria,
It got some of the kids. But
those of us who lived through
developed a sort of immnnity to
it. it seems. In later years, after
my family came along, we lived
In a malarial area for a while.
The children went through the
same experiences we did, and
their mother, who was not raised
in a malarial area, did too. But
it never bothered me. So I just
figured I had gotten a sort of
immunity as a kid.
That malaria thing can sure
take the pep out of a person. 1
still feel that it was the cause
of most of my laziness as a kid.
It was close to painful to have to
do any work. But If It was build
ing a dam down on the creek,
that was different. The fascina
tion of that overcame the ache in
my bones I guess.
To show just how lazy I was,
we had a neighbor a few. hun
dred yards down the hill that al
ways kept rather fresh cool water
in the old cedar ' bucket on ‘ the
back porch. Rather than a bucket
of water from our well when ours
got empty, many a time I have
walked down to that neighbor’s
for a drink. It was easy going
down there, but pulling the hill
back sometimes made me wonder
if it would not have been easier
to have drawn a bucket of water
in the first place.
My brother was as lazy at
times as I was. I’ll have to
tell you about him next week.

HADACOL is that wonderful

burn, sour “risings” after meals),
as well as that general run-down
condition and annoying ^ches and
pains when they are due to a lack
of Vitamins B., B», Iron and Nia

HADACOL is so amazingly suc

lacks Vitamins Bi, B«, Iron and

product you want—the kind you I
