'MILLION-YEAR-OLD
JAWBONES, SKULLS GIVE
PREHISTORIC FACTS
When J. T. Robinson, a South
African anthropologist, arrived in
London recently, he brought with
him a number of jaw-bones and
skulls that are at least a million
years old. They were found at
Krugersdrop near Johannesburg,
and he brought them to the Na
tural History Museum in London
for inspection by British anthropo
logists. Mr. Robinson helped to
find the prehistoric bones and in
ithe BBC’s “Radio Newsreel” told
[listeners that he was studying
them in relation to the evolution
teeth. The teeth with which
iese men ate their primitive
teals more than a million years
;o are just like modern teeth
[xoept that they are a little larg-
There were a few small cav-
ties low down on them and their
ipering roots were the same as
lose of modern man. They were
sharp, like an ape’s, and
lany were well worn; the biting
faces had probably been worn
r smooth by the grit in the roots
on which those ape-like men lived.
Mr. Robinson said that when
a monkey was eating it worked
its jaws with an up and down
movement. Humans chewed by
grinding the teeth in the lower
jaw against those in the upper
one and these ancient teeth sug
gested that the ape-men had used
their teeth in the manner cf men.
From their bones it could be de
duced that they were not too
much like apes of today, that
they were between five and six
feet tall with broad flat faces
that had foreheads sloping steep
ly backwards.
Their brain capacity was about
that of a child just beginning to
talk and they walked more like
men than apes. Mr. Robinson
considered that these remains
were those of a creature of the
brink of a true human type, in
other words a missing link, and
the teeth provided one of the
clues that led to this conclusion.
In the real ape the canine teeth
were very large but the Krugers
drop man’s canines were small
and like those of a human. An
thropologists possessed nearly
four thousand of these teeth;
they were studying them very
carefully and hoping to trace the
various stages that teeth had
passed through during the course
of time. Since finding the Krug-
ersdorp speciments it had been
realised that human-like teeth
came into existence much earlier

WATERMELONS!
The chief charm of summer is
a watermelon!
I watch their vines crawl over
the fields of the state. In late
May their first blooms come and
the little melon “hangs on.?
It is incredible that in 30 days
it will be ripe. They gain in
weight as fast as a hog on full
feed. And what delights they
then carry when rich red inside!
Most of us have to eat sparing
ly good things like candy, cake,
and cream. But not so whei} it
comes to watermelon! No, sir.
We can eat it until we are float
ing, and as many times a day as
we like, for it carries little nu
tritional wallop. Yet it has all
of the taste delights of the fat
tening things that are not so
good for us in the quantity that
we would like to eat.
So, watermelon, I salute you!
You bfing df lights to young
and old alike. And you al'e
circumscribed with no dietary in
hibitions that cramp us at all.
The sky is the limit when it
comes to eating you. And for
me, that’s just right. For noth
ing tastes better to the mouth
on a summer day.
I could write a small volume
about this magic slant. It stands
apart in many ways. And even
morality changes when applied to
it. For stealing, if not actually
condoned, is surely not seriously
condemned when applied to it.
That is a boyhood prank that is
natural, and any adult’s from up
on it carries a veiled smile.
Now we are entering that de
lightful era of watermelons. From
now until frost they can be found
somewhere in South Carolina.
Half the year thus made more
delightful by the magic of this
melon! The USDA is breeding
better ones at its Charleston lab
oratory. And the county agents
place demonstration plantings of
these in different sections of the
state so that shipping quality too
can be determined in carlot style.-
And thus better melons, carrying
eating quality, disease resistance
and shipping quality, are on thier
way to us all tha time.
hills I used to pass a lot. Through
that wide expanse of poor land,
this man’s acres always stood
jput. ‘-Litter makes any land
good,’’ he once told me, “anything
from pine straw to old fence rails
just so it will rot, helps the
land.”
I passed there agaih the other
day. The land told me, if I had
n’t already known it, that this
good man has passed on. The
acres that he had kept dark and
fertile had again turned light like
the rest. And there, where he
brought forth abundance, a
measly existence had returned.
Roughage in the land, humus!
That’s what Clemson has always
taught, and that’s what the coun
ty agents have demonstrated
ever since horse-and-buggy days.
And it’s still about the soundest
soil sense we have.
who’d a Thought it?
H. H. Herlong of Edgefield
told me his wife once got tomato
seed from a can of tomatoes,
planted ’em, and they came up.
And they went on to make a good
crop.
Of all things!
BALANCED FARMING
County Agent Lynn and those
in Fairfield were out lining up
their Balanced Farming Families
when I was there sometime ago.
That is an additional approach
to good farm living and diversi
fied farming that’s being started
in South Carolina. With the best
advice they can get, farm families
set their goals for farm and home
improvement. When attained,
they get an award for Balanced
Farming. County and home
agents can give all particulars.
NEW FRONTIERS
Frontiers do not always lie
away out yonder We often have
’em in our midst.
We have them here now in the
sodded field and the vast po
tential of irrigation. Grass handl
ed right is passing from a pest
in the field to a valuable crop
in the meadow. And irrigation
has demonstrated here and there
that it carries new riches to the
soil.
Clemson has bulletins and
specialists on both grass and ir
rigation. They are available to
you through your local county
agent.
THE MAN’S THE THING
There is a place in the Sand-
BOYS ARE THAT WAY
Spring brought its rebirth of
field and woodland with flower
and song. We kids of the Dutch
Fork liked it mightly. And I
have sung of it often.
But compared with the delights
of spring in the deep country,
summer is no slouch either. For
it was then that many rich har
vests came.
Dewberries that run on the
ground were first. We found
their patches at the, far places
in old abandoned fields, to which
the cycle of broom straw hadn’t
come yet. We ate them until our
mouths were stained a deep pur
ple. Picked and carried home,
they made delicious pies.
Wild plums came about the
same time, and we knew the
choice thickets. Mulberries add
ed to the wild plenty of early
summer. And then came the
fruits of the orchard on until
frost.
About midsummer the chills
and fever of spring had about
played ' out, and we had more en
ergy to roam. We hit our creek
often. On hot days it was hard
to keep us in the field. For the
cooling shade and tumbling water
was calling loud.
Along during the long, lazy
days of midsummer, when the
cicada whs puzzing in the trees,
our delightful routine was mar
red a bit by “dog days.” That
was the time we had to stay out
of dew in the morning and out
of our delightful creek. For that
was thought to make sores come
on you, and we occasionally had
’em sure enough at that season.
Stone bruises bothered us on
our feet too about that time.
Feet had become as tough as
leather. Ordinary briers did not
bothe^ us then. We would run
a lot for the sheer joy of it. At
times we would hit a rock too
hard. In a few days a blue spot
would come on the sole of the
foot. It would fester under that
thick hard layer we had grown.
And until it was able to break
through, we suffered agonies. We
hopped around on heel or toe
then until it got well.
I can’t get through with sum
mer here. There is not enough
room. Will take up here next
week.

Ever stop to think what life would he like if we still
used the barter system? For one thing, this means
of trading would make installmnt plan buying im
practical. Money acts as a standard of deferred pay
ments, makes it possible to know how much is owing.
Use credit wisely—and when you borrow, borrow the

JUVENILE^ DELINQUENCY?
Juvenile delinquency is too big
a word for me. Devilment among
the youngsters means the same
thing and suits me better.
But to use the big term, the
other day I heard a speaker say,
“Juvenile delinquency is just
children acting like their par
ents.”
A lot of truth in that.
When we oldsters did most
of our devilment, we were out
in the open spaces and didn’t
get caught. Now many of the
kids are crowded into unnatural
surroundings, devilment is thus
stimulated, and they usually get
caught.
I believe the youngsters of to
day are not only no worse than
we were, but they are far bet
ter fitted for the future than we
were. Their advantages are
greater. And most of them ab
sorb a lot of that. I’ve watched
’em a lot at their summer 4-H
camps and elsewhere. And, Old-
timer, they have it on us when
we were along there.
