Purcell Keitt Purcell INSURING CORN In late May of last year I crossed Collqton county and saw one of the finest corn prospects I had ever seen. It looked like the Corn Belt sure enough. Then along in late June I passed back through there. A scorching drought had struck and parched that fine prospect in to a sorry spectacle. This year at least two farmers there are planning to guard against that. They are equipped to irrigate their corn, County Agent Alford tells me. With an abundance of water near many a field, I’m sure we are going to see this supplemen tary irrigation thing grow. Not only in Colleton, but in every section of the state. Costs are too high, and our ability to make good crops is too well established, for us to idle along and let drought snatch the prospective harvest from our fields so often, as It surely does. And specially is this so when we can economi cally pluck the needed shower from the running stream right there by many a field. BRAHMAN CATTLE Through East Texas I saw much Brahman cattle blood in the vast herds. And on down in Mexico they have mostly native unimproved range cattle. Such distinguishable blood as I saw there was mostly Brahman too. And through most of Florida you see a strong and growing mixture of this blood in the cattle. Surely this breed of cattle must have something for beef, or it wouldn’t take on as it has. We have some of 'em in South Carolina and folks here like 'em too. They are hard for our cattle men to accept at first. For they violate just about everything we’ve been looking for in £ good beef-type animal. These things are said of them: They are good rustlers, stand heat and flies well, are smaller at birth and heavier at weaning time, have Jess trouble calving, and dress put a good carcass. A new breed of beef cattle has Mi \ MtmM • r /: SHAPE YOUR FUTURE WITH TODAY’S SAVINGS The action you take now — setting aside part of every paycheck — will help decide your future.

A new moon lay clear and sharp in the road ahead. All of the crispness of spring was in the air. Soon the moon was down and It was very dark with star-studded sky. My lights cut a tunnel through the darkness. And where they hit a dogwood tree, the blossoms built a mound of snowy white. Rounding a curve, a red fox was caught in the beam. Confused, it almost got run over. A gawky ‘possum too was seen lumbering across a little farther x on. And rabbits played at places. It was fine to be outside, and my foot lay lightly on the throt tle. The car too seemed to feel the intoxication of the spring night. It purred along like a kit ten. And was very responsive to pressure from the foot. By sleeping farmsteads I rode. “Few lights were on, as the work season is at hand. At one place cattle had gotten out and were standing in the road. They were slow to move as I approached. A whistling swain had apparently left his girl’s house on the hill, where the light still burned. And he was taking long strides down the road home, for perhaps he had lingered a bit late. That whistling could have been for either or both of two purposes: To break the scary stillness of the night, or an expression of ecstasy that he could not resist. For he seemed to be walking on thin air. And so is a spring night. I like to be deep in the out-of-doors then. For the darkness makes you so alone. And the mind can conjure up such pleasant thoughts and imagination can paint such pleasing pictures then. BOYS ARE THAT WAY We made most of the things we had in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork when I was coming up. And this went all the way from clothes to wagons and grain cradles. No farm then could get along without a blacksmith shop. Home- burned charcoal was used In the forge. Well can 1 remember the yearly coal-kiln we burned down in the pasture. Mostly green pine wood was used. Piled properly in a stack covered over with dirt and just a vent left, it would smolder for a day or so until wood had turned into char coal. Then the dirt was shovel ed off, and there was the year’s charcoal supply. It not only fed the flaming forge, • but it filled the old charcoal smoothing irons that were a luxury then. As soon as it cooled off good, we would sack it up and haul it to the shop. We did that for two reasons. It Is very porous and would soak up water so as to make it useless. And the stock would soon eat it all up if we left it down there in the past ure. I remember how funny I thought that was, for stock to eat coal. But now I know it was the minerals they were craving. . En lightened husbandry of today takes care of that. It was harder to get steel hot enough to weld with char coal fire and you had v to keep feeding it. But It left no clinkers that bothered with welding like when natural coal is used, we later found out. But until I was perhaps a dozen years old, I had never seen any of that natural coal that comes out of the ground. I’ll tell you about that next week. ST. LUKE’S TO HONOR DR. AND MRS. THOS. F.

These sincere people overlook a number of good reasons why there are occasions when stand ing in a boat is almost a neces sity. Willard Crandall our boat ing editor says: “Standing in a boat is something to be univer sally comdemned, as is rocking'a boat. Even with canoes there are occasions when it is not only safe but perfectly sensible of one nontntoxlvcated fisherman often stand up In their narrow dories to pull in nets, often* ip rough water. The dugout canoe of the Seminole Indian in Flor ida rolls more easily than a birch-bark canoe. And the birch- bark canoe is less steady than today’s factory-designed canoes. Still the Semfnoles stand and pole their dugouts.” Here’s angling editor Jason Lucas’ opinion on the subject: “I’ve been in and around boats all my life and I’ve never heard of one nonintoxivated fisherman being drowned because of stand ing in a boat. ‘ Fact is, most ex perienced fishermen do habitu ally or ocassionally, stand in a boat. One may do It to stretch his legs or save turning the boat to cast behind him. There's no particular reason why shouldn’t stand—since he knows when it is safe to do so. If the boat is narrow and unstable, he i probably won’t stand. But if the boat is wide in the beam and stable, a person of very moder ate experience should be safe in standing in it.” Naturally, circumstances vary. Only a foolish person would stand In an overloaded boat, for ex ample. But, as the Outboard Boating Club of America advises, 'here are even more important things to worry about—such as heeding weather signs and al ways stepping into a boat rather than jumping into it. “A good boatman piolting s Tood boat under good conditions could seldom come to trouble RUFUS J.
