PHONE 610 FARMS AND FOLKS By 4. M. ELEAZER Clemaon Extension Information Specialist CHRISTMAS SEASON Along the ceaseless cycle of time, Christmas brings its leaven at this season to a busy world. During about eleven and three- quarters months of the year we eagerly chase our phantoms. Then, of a sudden, Kerbang! It is Christmas. And all is different for a week. Accustomed duties are then largely laid aside. On the farms we feed the critters, and that’s about all we do resembling work. The mules play in the pasture, and there is no definite getting- up time. But so many pleasures are calling that few sleep late. The boys and men hunt just about all the time. Much visiting is done. And the women folks* spend their time preparing food for the feasts. For, be it ever so humble, the average home has its abun dance now. And those who come from afar bring their goodies along to add to the table. A roaring fire is kept with back-logs that were cut specially for Christmas. And around it the talk extends away into the night. The older folks perhaps play set-back. Larger boys and girls go for walks, shoot fire crackers, or go ’possum hunting. And the little ones play around there on the floor with toys, get sleepy, and eventually go to bed whining. The big night is the Christmas exercises at the church. There the children speak their pieces, sing songs, get presents and bags of candy, raisins, and fruit. THE WILD GEESE ARE BACK The wild geese have come back to Gaddy’s pond at Ansonville. Several thousand of them! I’ve told you about this for the past few seasons. So far as I’ve been able to learn, nowhere else can you see countless hun dreds of wild geese so intimately as there. You throw com out to them and the tamest ones will come up to within 20 feet of you. And they cover acres of ground and water then from there on out. ' This place is right near Anson ville, N. C. That is about 8 miles above Wades boro, which is about 20 miles above our Chesterfield and Lancaster. I can think of no better holiday trip for a nature lover than to go up there and sit and marvel at those squawking wild creatures for an hour or so. There and back is an easy day’s trip from most parts of the state. Years ago Mr. Gaddy started feeding the wild geese that came to his pond, rather than run for a gun, as most folks would have. Since then the same ones come back. He knows that, for he has banded a lot of ’em. Their increase, and others that came along, has built the number up so that now they are estimated by the thousands, and he has to charge a small entrance fee for corn to feed them. For without supplementary feeding, that many geese couldn’t live in the area. Hundreds of farm ponds have been built over this state. I wonder if a few folks with se cluded ponds that are suitably might not be interested in giving wild geese a safe haven too? It doesn’t hurt the fishing. Rather r it improves it. I’m told. LIVESTOCK HERE Back in the summer when Secretary Brannan was in the state I heard a reporter ask him at Spartanburg what he thought of livestock for this area. He said it looked like the Southeast was growing into the livestock area of this country. On his farm in eastern Colorado he said it took 5 acses of pasture to carry a cow for 6 months, while here he had seen pastures that carried a cow per acre for the whole year! “And that’s the story/ he added. We have a natural in this grass thing. Experiment has indicated it, and experience is proving it. County agents get farm records from their demonstrations that show grass to be a dependable money crop, when planted proper ly and managed right. And its small labor requirement fits right in with the trend of the times too. ABUNDANT GREENS W. L. Traynham of Daucusville, Pickens county, started cutting turnip greens from his three acres on August 20. He had sold 2,200 bushels of ’em on the Green ville market when I was there on' Sept. 19, according to Ben Leonard, market manager. And he had also sold a lot in other nearby towns. And they were productive for a long time after that too, according to County Agent Wood. The secret there was irrigation. While the lands of others parched and burned and were too hard to plow, he put the water to his and produced greens when no one else had them. We can do a lot of things like tnat with irrigation.
