THE SMITHS OF EDGEFIELD
» The Smiths of Edgefield have
established quite a record as cot
ton growers.
Since the state cotton improve
ment contest was started by
Clemson in 1926, Edgefield county
has had 9 state winners. Six
of these were Smiths.
Aand during that time Edge-
field county has had 10 district
winners, of which 4 were Smiths.
Begining in 1945 county prizes
too were offered. Since then
Smiths have won
county prizes too.
And this is all the more remark
able when you consider that the
same man or same land can’t
win the same prize twice and
each is disqualified for anything
lower than he has already won.
A # ter winning, he can only shoot
at anything that’s higher. So
now, a good many of these Smiths
have only the grand sweepstakes
prize to shoot at. It is now $1,-
500 to the one who beats the ex
isting record made by J. Harvey
Neeley of Chester county in 1946
when he produced 8,275 pounds of
lint cotton on 5 acres.
Now scores of other farmers
have been in that competition
there too. The Herlongs and the
Holmeses for instance each have
three dinners. But they can’t
hold a light with those Smiths
who have 15! • All of them are
good farmers. There are just
more Smiths.

Increasingly popu
lar . . . the ranch-
type home. Spac
ious rooms designed
for convenience,
ventilation, s u n -
light, and stunning
beauty are main
reasons for its wide
acceptance. A well planned, “U” shaped
kitchen, ample closet and wardrobe space, a
natural fireplace, an attached garage, and a
large picture window in the living room . . .
are more reasons why this ranch home is a
“winner.”

> When it’s strawberry time, there’s nothing like a shortcake to
make your family happy. ... * , i
i Buy fluffy unfrosted cake from your baker’s to make this national
favorite, or make quick biscuit or scone shortcakes. A scone dough is
handled just like biscuit dough. In tha scone, sugar and eggs have
been added'for extra richness. Today’s handsome scone nng is made
from a “dron” scone batter. After stirring liquid into flour Mixture
only until flour is moistened, spread batter in 9-inch ring mold. The
ring mold provides s pretty shell for the plump, red berries. -
If you do not have a ring mold, bake batter in round cake pan,
then split and serve shortcake style. Use the scone batter as a short
cake base for other fruits or berries in season.
You’ll be pleased with the high nutritional value of shortcake
desserts. Enriched flour in biscuit or scone supplies essential B-vita-
mins and food iron, the eggs, milk and fruit topping other important
food values. Use enriched flour in home baking and look for the label
“enriched” on all breads you buy at your baker’s.

SIGNS OF OUR TIMES
OVER S. C.
County Agent Kinard of Jasper
says marketing centers have been
established in 3 comunities in the
county for cucumbers for the
Denmark plant. Each commun
ity is producing 150 acres of
pickling cukes.
Peach plantings in the sand
hills of Lexington were extend
ed by many thousand trees that
were planted the past winter,
according to County Agent Evans.
Lexington orchards * have been
rather free of frost damage dur
ing the past bad years that got
most of ’em In other areas.
Due to prices and need, the
cotton acreage will be up and that
of sweet potatoes down some in
Orangeburg this year is the way
County Agent McComb sees it
there.
Many farmers of Richland se
cured their boll weevil poison be
fore they planted the cotton this
time, according to County Agent
Bob Bailey. They were running
no chances on getting it. It looks
like all of their cotton will be
poisoned this time, says Bob.
J. D. Powers of Georgetown
was unable to sell his sweet
potatoes profitably at digging
time; so he cured ’em in his
tobacco barn. Then on out
through the season he was able
to sell them profitably, ’accord
ing to County Agent McCord.
Cattle farmers in Clarendon
are planting some velvet beans
for winter use, County Agent
Grainger tells me. We used to
plant a lot of ’em. Now that
cattle are on the increase, they
can serve a very useful purpose
for winter feed from the field.
Assistant County Agent Flem
ing of Florence told me that
over 200 farmers attended the
two fence construction and fence
post treatment demonstrations
that Clemson specialists pnt on

We need to use posts that last
and to build ’em right, says
our engineer McKenzie, for labor

afford to be doing it over so
often.
Down in Kershaw 18 farmers
are planting Turkish tobacco,
says County Agent McCarley.
Last year there were nine. A
good crop. for small farmers.
In the 4-H 'wildlife conserva
tion work in Lancaster county.
County Agent Cannon tells me
that 72,000 lespedeza bicolor
plants were set along ditch banks
and hedgerows the past winter.
For the past three years As
sistant County Agent Sams of
Barnwell has had the high boy
in the state 4-H sweet potato
production contest. Yet potato
es are not much of a commercial
crop there yet. But they are
on the mend he says.
SILAGE VS. HAY
Dairyman “Sheet’’ Allison of
Richland uses silage more than
hay. Because, he says, he can
usually make better silage than
lay. Weather messes you up
;oo often with hay, while you
can make good silage in the rain,
if you have to.
He was one of the first farmers
I saw irrigating pastures. And he
had fine grass daring a dry
midsummer when other pastures
around him were dried to a
crisp. Clippings from a good
pasture make good silage. Some
molasses is added, specially If
you have legumes is the mixture,
according to Onshman and Lomas.

One dreamy August afternoon
that cousin from Columbia and I
were returning across hill and
vale from our country store,
where we had gone to get Vien
na sausage, large sweet crack
era, and soft drinks. The path
lead through Cousin Paul’s past
ure. And our pnlses glways quick
ened there, for a bad bull was
reputed to roam In that pasture
We worked our wag alertly a
quarter of a mile through It, al
ways keeping fairly near an easy
climbing tree. As we climbed
over the rail fence on the other
side, our usual peace of mind re
turned.
We played on along the path
way home. It led down a shad
ed dell by Cousin Paul’s spring.
The damp mossy path felt good
to our bare feet, and we tarried at
the beauty spot there by the
spring. The wash pot, with its
bed of dead embers, was near
by. Thq wash bench, with in
verted tnbs, was there on the
fern-covered bank of the spring
drain. And the clothes paddle
lay on the block that was set
firmly in the ground. Overalls
from the field, with much ingrain
ed dirt, were lathered and pound
ed clean there. *
Fringing the spring, great ferns
shot from the verdure, and wild
iris bloomed ' in profusion there.
As we stirred around, several
email frogs jumped into the clear
cool .water of the spring. They
intrigued us, and we got the long
handled water gourd and tried
to catch them. Soon we had the
spring all muddy, and a few small
minnows in it came to the top,
gasping for air. We caught sever
al of them and were making
greater plans as we heard some
one coming down the steep path.
We lit out For the unwritten
law was for “youuguns” never to
play in the spring. The path
soon curved and we were never
seen. But I’m sure whoever
that was wondered what had mud
died the spring up so.
