Ray Dawkins Treasurer THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist GRANDEUR FROM GRASS A new grandeur is coming from our ground with grass! I ride with the county agents now. They show me sleek fat cattle grazing on their winter pasture demonstrations. This in the dead of winter, while bliz zards rage in the range country, and cattle have to be moved for a season or fed! But every farmer here who planted winter pasturage does not have it now. In many cases it was grazed to death last sum mer and fall. And that brings up the matter of pasture management. Our pasture men, Woodle and Craven, say that here is where we all have a lot to learn. We know from experience that we can have year-around grazing. But just how to manage it so that there will be no hungry cattle at any season is the problem. To accomplish this, the ex perts assure us that we need to make more use . of summer pastures. That is, of the old standbys like Bermuda grass, Dallis grass, and lespedeza. .Those plants were with us before the present pasture awakening and we see them as commonplace. And we have brought in valuable new grasses, winter grasses and clovers, to which we put plenty of lime and fertilizer. Now, folks, try the same thing on an old Ber muda and Dallis pasture and see what you get. At Clemson Professor Starkey has raised a fine batch of Herford heifers on nothing but grazing the year around. They have never been fed anything else. And they are as pretty as you want to look at. And he tells me that Bermuda grass is the most important plant in their year-around grazing. By rotating the pastures and letting some of it get a big fall growth, he is able to keep the cattle on it un til Christmas. Then he turns them on the winter mixtures of fescue, Ladino, ryegrass, crim son clover, the grains, and the like. That carries them for about four months, after which he can often get a crop of seed, and let that stuff go through its needed summer rest, and come out in the late summer and fall and make that reserve of growth that's needed for the four months of winter. Farmers with cattle, here is a great lesson for us all. OBSERVED EN ROUTE A few hours west from New Orleans I noticed the drinkers in the £lub car started hitting straight liquor pretty hard. I wondered why. I soon found out. As we hit the Texas border they locked the bar up. And for them that meant a long drought, while we pounded the rails for 24 hours across that vast state. Two ladies from up East and one from Texas happened to be seated together in the diner. I overheard them talking. One of these from up •East remarked about the vultures she saw sail ing, constantly sailing, across the dry lands of the brush country. The local lady said, “In Texas we call them sparrows.” WILD LIFE With millions of guns out to shoot any wild thing that can run, jump, or fly, it’s no won der many of our creatures are becoming scarce. There was a time when owls visited many a barn and kept the mice and' rats down pretty well. But where is there a country boy that has not shot these harmless and beneficial creatures! until now they are very scarce. And now we buy poisons to try to do what they used to do for us. Some months ago a neighbor set a steel trap on top of a post to try to catch a hawk that was getting his chickens. That night it caught a great owl that at tempted to light on that post. Luckily, it didn’t break its leg. And he gave it to our Tommy. He wa£ thrilled and kept it in a large cage. Meat was hard to get for it; so we induced him to turn it loose. He did. And now many a night is made very real with the distant hooting of that great owl. Nothing adds more to the naturalness of the night and takes us back to the primitive woods of childhood like the call of the owl echoing across hill and vale. The next time we see one of these vanishing birds of the night, I hope we will overcome that impulse to run for the gun. They are one of Nature's ways of keeping rodents in check. Checks and balances, Nature has a lot of ’em. State Turkey Men Gather The South Carolina Turkey Federation will hold its third meeting at Newberry, March 3, according to announcement by James E.

C. State Commission of Forestry is still surpassing all previous records, according to Harry Avedisian, As sistant Forester. During the month of January, 25 woodland examinations were made on 3,292 acres, and 11 tracts were marked consisting of 446,522 board feet of sawtimber and 186 cords of pulpwood. Despite the increasing good record, there are still many small woodland owners who are not familiar with the service avail able to them through the State Commission of Forestry. Anyone desiring advice on a proper hand ling and care of their woodlot can contact the District Forester at Newberry or he can see the County Ranger, County Agent, Soil Conservationist, who will re lay the message to Newberry. When the. request is received, a forester is sent out to examine the timber and make his recom- n&ndations to the landowner. This service is free to aJ land- owners. A G. I. wounded in Korean mountain f ighting gets a blood transfusion at a forward aid station. His buddies, who have just carried him down from the hills, look on anxiously. The only source of vital blood for battlefield use is volunteer donations in the United* States.

The wedding will take place in April. Once a little girl was very proud of her presents at Christ mas time. One was a watch, the other was a bottle of perfume. After the excitement of opening the presents was over, and the family was seated at breakfast; it seemed as if the idea came into the mind of the little girl that she was not receiving the at tention the occasion demanded so she said: “If you hear any thing, you know it is me.” After a moment’s silence, she said again, “If you smell anything, you know it is me too.” On returning from school one day, a little boy said: “Daddy, I got into a lot of trouble in school today.” Daddy: “Why, son, what could have caused the trouble.” Son: “I asked you yesterday what a million is, and you said it is a dickens of ^a let.” “I answered that in school today and everybody laughed.” —Contributed WANT ADS WANTED TO BUY—Iron, Metal Batteries, Radiators and Rags.
