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.

Hare Brothers
Recalled To
Active Duty
Commander Robert H. Hare of
Saluda sailed last Friday from
San Francisco for Honolulu,
where he will be stationed until
he receives further orders. His
brother, James B. Hare, former
congressman for the Third Con
gressional district, a lieutenant
commander, left his home in' Sa
luda last week for San Francisco
where he will debark for Pearl
^Harbor. The brothers will be as
signed to two years of sea duty
with the U. S. Navy. They are
sons of former Congressman But
ler B. Hare of Saluda.
Robert and James Hare are
both graduates of Newberry col
lege and hold L.L.B. degrees from
the University of South Carolina.
Both volunteered for service as
seamen in the navy at the be
ginning of World War II.
served for four years, while
James tour of duty covered a
five-year period. They were
charged as lieutenant command

Hares served in the Pacific
theater of operations, where
James participated in the bat
tle of Midway Island.
Both of these young men were
members of ^he air arm of the

service is evidence of their high
efficiency ratings while in the
service.
