S ALDERMAN EROM WARD 5
Cecil E. Kinard is seeking re-
election as alderman of Ward 5
of the City of Newberry in the
coming City Primary elections.
The following is his formal state
ment:
“In announcing my candidacy
for re-election as your alderman
from Ward 5, to serve over the
next two-year period, I am fully
aware of the great responsibilities
that goes with that important of
fice.
“I would indeed be ungrate
ful if I did not first express my
profound appreciation for the op-
■k^fnity I have had to serve
S«lBcity of Newberry over the
^^Ksix years. In campaigning
|HKrears ago, 1 made just one
Bnse to weigh every
IKue coming before me and to
judge each problem to the best
of my ability, with the sole
thought in mind of contributing
toward and promoting a con
structive, progressive, and eco
nomical program for our City.
“I have carried out this
promise to the best of my ability,
and the way I have cast my
votes on all city matters is a mat
ter of public record. During the
past six years I have gained
much valuable experience in our
municipal government, and I feel
sure that I can render a higher
type service U* the people of
Newberry as a direct result of
this experience.
“When. I took office six years
ago, as one of your Councilmen,
I was not under obligation to
anyone, and since then I have
cast my vote on every issue
coming before me conscientious
ly, honestly, sincerely, and for
what I thought was the best in
terests of the City of Newberry,
and by the City of Newberry, I
refer to each and every person
residing here. “I am not, nor
have I ever been a member of a
“ring” or a clique, and if re
elected I can ‘ assure the people
of this City that I will be free
to cast my vote without fear
of pressure from “interested
parties,” and will always have
the best interests of our people
and the advancement of our City
dictating my manner of voting.
I am not being sponsored by
any political group, threrefore,
if elected, I shall go into all
Council meetings with a mind
open on all matters pertaining to
our City government. At all timee
I shall cast my vote as I feel
those who put me into office, the

people of Newberry in general,
would have me vote. -t
“I firmly believe that two of
the main issues to be brought up
in the coming elections will be
the continuation of the City
Manager form of municipal gov
ernment, and the permanent im
provement bonds which were sup
posed to have been floated some
time ago. I will have more to
say about these two issues later
on. '
If I have made any errors or
mistakes during my six years
on the local Council, no one
appreciates them more than I do,
but I assure you that they were
made in good faith, and for the
best interests of our City of
“Friendly Folks.”
“My p£st record as an aider-
man, I believe, speaks for itself.
It is open to all, and is a record
of which I am justly proud, and
anyone who does not-know me is
welcome to investigate my record,
and see the facts for himself.
“Thanking each and every one
of you for your past support, I
am again requesting your backing
in the approaching primary elec
tions. The following original
verse expresses the way I would
like all civic-minded Newberrians
to vote:
‘You know me
I know you.
What I promise
That’s what I’ll do.
This is your City
This is your town
Vote for a man
Who won’t let you down.’
Those turning 21 years of age
since last election, and have not
as yet gotten their registration
certificates, have only one day.
Labor Day, to get them, accord
ing to the state law which makes
it mandatory that all registration
books remain closed thirty days
prior to any election.
If you are eligible to vote, be
sure to do so.”
This Political add was written
and paid for by Cecil E. Kinard.

FARMS AND FOLKS

Clemson Extension information Specialist
GOOD SHEEP BROUGHT IN
Just recently 330 western ewes
and 15 purebred Hampshire rams
were brought into South Caro
lina for the purpose of starting
small herds of good sheep. They
were selected out there by a
representative of Swift and
Company, brought in by the
Florence Union Stockyards and
Florence Chamber of Commerce,
and placed over the state by the
Clemson Extension Service.
These sheep went to five farms
in Florence county, four in Marl
boro, three in Dillon, one in
Laurens, and one in. Chesterfield.
ClemsoR’s Gus Du Rant says:
“Additional cars of sheep cam
be secured If ordens* are placed)
right away. Purebredh Hampshire
rams have been priced at 875 and
the yearling western ewes at
$35 a head. Interested farmers
should contact their .county
agents about this.” «
Sheep all but went out of the
picture' In South Carolina in re
cent years. There are several
reasons for this. Dogs and low
prices have largely accounted for
it.
Well, dogs are still a menace to
sheep. But the price situation
has changed drastically. Both
wool and sheep on the hoof are
bringing good prices. And as low
as sheep numbers have gone in
the nation, it looks like they
should be a good bet for a long
time. With better pastures, a
sheep industry is possible here,
the experts think.
SORRY FENCE
For most things, you want a
good strong fence. But not for
turkeys, J according to our turkey
man, James E. Thaxton.
He called to mind one grower
who lost 100 turkeys last year
when they piled against a strong
permanent fence. He suggests
fragile fences for turkeys. They
will hold ’em, except during the
occasional stampede. And at such
times it is better for the fence
to give way so they won’t trample
one another. Then you can get
them back up.
CROR ACREAGES
Feed, fiber, and food reserves
are a bit low. Therefore, I
understand, increased productions
are being planned for 1952. This
calls for something like 90 mil
lion >acres of corn, 80 million of
wheat, 13 million acres of soy
beans, and enough cotton for
about 16 million bales. And that
would figure out close to 30 mil
lion acres of cotton.
The farmer has many problems.
Lack of f labor and machines is
among them. But there is one
good side to the picture. It
seems the world needs just about
everything he can grow. And
it has not often been that way.
On many a year it has been hard
to pick out anything that look
ed good. Not so now. Apparent
ly the world neel&s the stuff, no
matter hardly what you grow.
And that is the way 1952
looks to those who are skilled in
looking ahead. So crank up the
mule or tractor. It looks like
opportunity ahead.
HOPE RETURNS '
In late June I was down in
the Pee Dee section, riding with
the county agents, to see the
tobacco irrigation demonstrations
that our Mr. Lynn had put on
with Clemson’s portable outfit.
It was dry, awfully dry. But the
demonstrations were looking good.
The morning was hot. Midday
saw thunderheads appear. And
in the afternoon drenching
showers brought their benediction
to the parching crops. Moisture
for the land and hope to the
hearts of the Pee Dee!
I went back in a week. And
my, how crops had recovered!
Moisture is the stuff for
abundant harvests. We are supp-
plying all else. And here and
there I see a farmer or two who
is beginning to supply that mois
ture too. They not only got
stands, but they kept them grow
ing through the five to six
weeks’ drought of the Jfest
spring. Showers eventually came
and crops recovered a lot. But
the losses from bad stands and

INCREASE FROM IRRIGATION
Irrigation is so new with us
that folks have little conception
of what they can expect from it
on an average. On corn at
Clemson it *has paid on three
crops out of four. And on one
year the difference was over
four times as great where
watered. .
I told you about visiting the H.
R. Talmage farm in New York
on Long Island. There Cornell
has done much of its irrigation
experimental work. Mr. Talmage
told us that a 15-bushel increase
of potatoes justified irrigation, or
paid for it. Any increase above
that was profit for him. For eight
years his average increase was
57 bushels. And the biggest in
crease he had gotten on Irish po
tatoes was 211 bushels on the dry
year I visited his place.
Supplementary Irrigation is
