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

A SPRING NIGHT
I was returning home the other
night. 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.

Every time we publish a pic
ture of a man standing in a boat,
a lot of people write and Indi
gnantly denounce such a practice,
saying that you should never
stand up in a boat.
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

RECOMMEND
Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc, the Man
Responsible forToday’s Great HADACOL
Senator LeBlanc has been in public
life since he was quite a young
man and be has always advocated
the cause of the oppressed and the
downtrodden. It was he who intro
duced the law in that
gives every deserving man and
woman in Louisiana a pension of
350.00; it was he who
the law creating the office of Serv
ice Commissioner, the duties of
which office is to see that every
deserving ex-soldier and veteran
receives his just reward from the
Federal and State Government; it
was he who has consistently fought
the battle of the school teachers in
the halls of the legislature; he
worked untiringly for the farmers
and the laboring man. *
In view of the fact that this man
has worked so untiringly for your
cause and in your behalf, don’t you
believe that it was reasonable to
assume that in his untiring efforts
he would someday find something
to assist you besides rendering gov
ernmental assistance.
The word “HADACOL" has be
come a by-word throughout this
Nation. Read the testimonials on
