ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist W? - A LET DOWN I make brief notes of things of interest as I go along. And then when writing time comes, it is easy. % On a wonderful, cool, dewy morning recently I was riding early. And I was prompted to make this notation in my book: “Skies clear. Open road ahead. Feeling fine. Summer is at hand. No troubles in sight. Who could ask for more?” That very day, as I backed out from the parking place at Fair fax, I noticed a slight clicking in the motor. It cost $306.30 to fix it! And life had suddenly lost its rosy hew. I’ll be down-at-the-heel financially for months from that. But I’ve weathered storms before. THE BOMB AREA * Not only Aiken and Barnwell counties, but other portions of the state down that way, are feeling the effect of the atomic plant development. Cars and busses carry workers in there from as far away as Savannah and Wal- terboro. This has had its effect on agri culture. County Agent Mellette of Aiken tells me that ten farmers there secured beef bulls the past spring, in preparation for a sort of farming that does not call for much labor. And the other agents speak of the same drift. And the superintendent of the Aiken State Park told me that the 10 picnic tables they had up to this year had not proved to be enough. Now they have 42, and that’s nowhere near enuogh to take care of the crowds. The in crease has been from the new comers to the area seeking a pleasant week-end outing. And so it is with every facility in a vast area down there. I know school authorities must be in about the worst predicament. Hundreds of additional children with no equal increase in school income! COMING EVENT Next week’s the time—Farmers’ Week at Clemson, August 13-17. Just about every angle of this changing agriculture will be dealt with. Lectures, demonstrations, and field events will deal with what’s new in farm and home methods. Your county and home agents have tl^B details. LIFE’S COMPLICATIONS As machines come to farm and home, folks need to develop a turn for such things. Farm machinery schools of all sorts have been held in many counties. Increased attendance of late indicates the growing inter est. And the home demonstration agents too have been holding clinics for household gadgets that have come in recent years. Just recently in Richland county 45 farm women brought their pres sure cookers to the clinic held there for adjusting them. And fifty did likewise in Lexington. WHO WtLL GET IT? This year our mills are expect ed to use close to 11 millions bales of cotton. And experts are expected to be something over 4 million bales. Our authorities state that it was for the good of the country that a price ceiling was put on our cotton, while the world price for it is much higher. Our leaders should know, and we accept what is done. But there is one thing I’ve been wondering about. Surely that 4 million bales that we export will bring the world price, which is much higher than *ours. Why can’t some way be worked out whereby the farmer could get that large premium for that por tion of his crop? For surely a fabulous fortune lies there in the difference between what the farmer will get under controlled price and what that cotton will net that goes into the world mar kets. We have a government loan on cotton. That cotton is finally sold and settlement made with the farmers. Why couldn’t this same agency handle the farmers’ cotton and take care of this luc rative export business right at this critical juncture ? Maybe I am far afield here. It might be best for me to get back to my familiar byways. CAROLINA CEMENT The cement company at Harley- ville has bought 50 acres of Cal- Candlelight and Rosepoint in Crystal by CAMBRIDGE houn county red clay. It is just the sort needed in the manufac ture of cement, County Agent Cain told me. A railroad spur goes into it, and they were mov ing it in quantity when we were there. BOYS ARE THAT WAY We had little in the way of bought toys apd things back in our stone hills of the Dutch Fork when I was a kid. But we made the most out of what we had, and that was enough. The Chinaberry tree had a lot of meaning for us. Some good, some bad. The bad part was that it would sprout up so' on the ditch banks and hedge rows, and we had to be everlastingly cutting ’em down. And when it bloomed we held our noses in passing it. For the Colored folks had taught us that the smelling of those blooms would give up dysentery. Where there was just a tree or two, we would hold our noses and run by them. But if the path was by a whole row of ’em, we would take a detour out through the field. Other than for these two reasons, we liked those trees. The main thing we liked about them was the berries they fur nished in such abundance for our popguns. We made our guns from cane joints that grew dowp on the creek. The ramrod was whittled from an easy-cutting piece of pine. It was a bit shorter than the barrel, so as not quite push the berry through. That one then furnished the bullet when the next one was forced in from the other end. And it would leave the barrel with quite a pop. We had all sizes of popguns This enabled us to start when the berries were quite small. As they grew, we used a little big ger gun. And that continued un til, alas, the seed got hard in the berries and would split our guns when forced into them. That was a sad day. But for about a month we had a merry time. And our pockets were never empty of ammuni tion. We fought our wars with those guns. And a Chinaberry shot hard, just before the seed matured, could really sting you. Parents protested, on account of the danger to eyes. But that got little result, for we had too much room to be cramped.
