ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist BROWN SWISS IN OCONEE “Our farmers like their Brown Swiss cattle,” County Agent Grif fin of Oconee told me the other day. Vou remember a man from Clemson went west and bought the first batch for them som^ years ago, and they were also introd iced in the College herd then. One idea behind their itroduc- tion to the rugged near-mountain area was the possibility of a blue mold cheese business eventually in connection with the Stump- house Mountain tunnel that Clem son has acquired for the/ curing process. Other introductions have been brought into that area since then, a number of farmers now have sizable herds, and many have a few animals of this breeding. With this foundation, they start ed a milk route in Oconee last year. And, despite tjie very dry summer, the number of farmers patronizing it has increased con stantly. And Griffin says some thing over *100 farmers are now selling milk and are well pleas ed. He sees a few good cows as filling a great need among the small farmers of Oconee. A total of 88 4-H club members there have 115 calves, mostly Brown Swiss and Guernsey. MOST BEAUTIFUL HOUSE I’ve been around a good bit. I’ve seen some of the famed homes of the movie stars in Hollywood. And I’ve been car ried through some of the fine residential sections of our country and Mexico. Some of them were great castlelike structures, looking more like an institution than a home to live in. And some of them looked mighty nice, if you had the money to run them. But to my way of thinking, the most beautiful, most livable-looking, the easiest on the eyes, the home that just seems to say “come hither,” and the one that looks like it just grew into the beauti ful setting and bloomed out is the one on the left a half mile beyond Bob Jones University on the road from Greenville towards Spartanburg. I don’t even know who lives there. But to me it is the most pleasing picture of a home I’ve ever seen. We can all do some beautifica tion around our homes. And nov? is the time to do it. PROGRESSIVE COLORED PEOPLE • Did you see the farm and home exhibits the colored people put on at the Piedmont Interstate Fair at Spartanburg and at the Anderson County Fair? * They were excellent and would have done any fair credit. Their folks turned out with fine ex hibits and were there to assist all week long. And the 4-H club members were in the forefront there too. in person and with good exhibits of livestock, poultry, and field crops. The colored women and 4-H club members in Florence comity couldn’t lose the time from the fields during the recent harvest season for their usual home dem onstration and 4-H club meetings. So they met at night and during noon-ihours, according to Mrs. Marion B. Paul, state supervisou of Negro home demonstration work. WE DIFFER SO Folks differ. Editors too. It often happens, as this did the other day. I put a pithy but rather mean ingless squib in the column, pure ly as a garnish, a change of pace, and perhaps as the car rier of a smile. One editor liked it so well he blocked it in and put it in heavy type. Another editor cut it out entirely. And there you are. It is our differences that make life so varied and interesting, I guess. If we were all alike, things would soon fall into a tiresome rut, I guess. FAIR PROGRESS I’ve followed fairs a long time in South Carolina. In quite re cent years many of them have improved greatly. I didn’t get to all of them. But two I visited impressed me a lot. The Spar tanburg Interstate Fair seemed organized around a purpose, and was not just a rather meaningless jumble of tinsel. And you could follow its progressive purpose right through the vast exhibits. The other fair that seems head ed somewhere is the Eastern Carolians Fair at Florence. They are in tune with the times and foresee a growing livestock em pire in the Pee Dee, as evidenced by the small fortune offered in livestock prizes, over $17,000! “PEACEFUL ACRES” Out in the rugged red hills of Spartanburg we passed a beauti ful farmstead. An attractive shingle at the mail box named it “Peaceful Acres,” and told that the owners were the West Bros. Beautiful flowers were bloom ing there in the V of the road that led in, and well groomed shrubbery lined the avenue up the hill to the house. We stopped, backed up, and turned in. The yard / and the house too told that lovers of the beautiful lived there. We didn’t have time to stop, turned to the left that at the house, and went out another road to the highway. Good crops .grew in the rolling fields that were well terraced. And we saw woodlands that look ed like they had been recently selectively cut. I hope to get by there sometime with County Agent Martin and get the full story. ^ Soils, climate, adapted trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowers make beautification easily possible here. It just takes the desire to have it. Then the necessary plantings will be made, and the little bits of attention will be given regularly to see that the harvest is beauty and not weeds. Much beauty has grown in town and country in recent years. The home demonstration clubs have worked hard and long at it. Gar den clubs and other groups have too. Youth has been taught its rudiments in 4-H and FFA work. And, as Dr. Tom Buie of the SCS says, the lawn mower has taken the place of the yard brooms we used to cut from the dogwood. Winter is the time to prepare for and make basic beautification plantings. Bulbs, shrub, and flower exchanges then come along through the seasons in regular order. Anyone with a growing garden has things that need thin ning out. Likely you don’t need the extra plants. But a neighbor down the road or street might be wanting just that. In this way gardeners can help spread the beauty they like. AS IT WORKS The other day I was riding with a county agent through a good farming community. Crops were fine, fields terraced, and cattle grazed on much land that has of late been tied down with sod. Every house was painted, except one. He told me that was the painter’s house.

BOWERS, JR., Owner Bowers Insurance Agency >:v-. . m - Reduce Damage Of Windstorms November 25 will mark the first anniversary of the great windstorm that ripped through 11 Northeastern states last year and caused the largest number of insurance claims in history. Windstorms during all seasons seem to have increased in recent years. However, windstorm damage can to a large degree be pre- vepted, just as property can be safeguarded from fire, the Na tional Board of Fire Underwrit ers says. Urge Sound Construction The more cheaply a building has been built, and the less engineering and architectural sup ervision it has had in its erection, the more likely the building is to be damaged by windstorm, accord ing .to the National Board. Another factor is the prepared ness of the property owner him self. Here are some of the pre cautions to be taken: 1. Place all loose objects and movable objects, such as boards, garbage cans, porch furniture, etc., where there is no danger of their being lifted and blown against a building or through a window. 2. Movable awnings should jt»e raised and securely tied, or re moved entirely. 3. Shutters should be firmly and securely attached. \ 4. Temporary lighting, prefer ably flashlights, should be arrang ed in case electric current is cut off. 5. Large doors such as garage doors should be securely braced against movement in or out. 6. Keep hammer, saw, nails and boards handy in house fob emergency use. CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Charles H. Taylor , wish to thank their relatives and friends for the many kind expressions of sym pathy in their recent bereavement. When there's a load on the drawbar ... „ Your tractor always runs "uphill"! That’s heavy-duty service—and it requires the extra protection of this great neW heavy-duty motor oflt Here’s ’ a good summary of squirrel hunting tactics by Lee Yeager, hunter and wildlife spe cialist: Squirrels are foupd in suitable combinations of forfd and cover—where they may be taken by good shots who are patient enough to work quietly and with a plan. Shooting skill and the ability to maneuver quietly are products of practice and self discipline. The best squirrel country yields little to' t£e hunter who is dress ed in a bright coat ahd hat and bursts loudly through woods open ings. Wear an old brown canvas hunting cap and coat; or before killing frosts, an olive-green or dark gray jacket. Take ’advan tage of cover—logs, brush, rocks, tree trunks, thickets. In cross ing sizable open spaces, walk quietly. If nothing better pre sents itself, sit at the foot of a big low-branching tree. That combination of food and cover is the key -to a squirrel hunt. Both fox and gray squir rels are dependent on trees. Grays prefer heavy timber; Tox squirrels can get along with only scattered oaks maples or cottonwoods — provided food, mostly crop residues, is nearby. But trees alone do not make a squirrel habiat, certainly not an all-year one. For example extensive stands of maple, elm and/or cottonwood such as found in the Mississippi Valley, may be squirrel-less or nearly so' during the fall season. The reason: no food. Mixed hardwoods make the best squirrel range we have. And mixed hardwoods bordering corn or other grain-fields are tops in squirrel range. | A buck squirrel pitching woo makes one of the easiest shots that you wil find in the woods. The main breeding season of fox and gray squirrels begins in ^he fall, so keep your eyes open. These mathig chases will often mean game for you. Listen carefully for the- dropping of nuts and shells—it also means squirrels nearby. • You’ll find that sunshine and shadow are two of Nature’s best agents for concealment, and that you need a well-trained eye to detect hiding game. A squirrel crouched close to a tree trunk is often practically invisible. ARTHUR McSWAIN DOMINICK, JR.
