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.

Woodland Aid Is
Setting New Mark
I ’
Woodland management assis
tance given by the Newberry dis
trict office of the S. 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.
Thousands of servicemen wounded in Korea are
alive today because whole blood and plasma, collected
through the Red Cross from voluntary donors, was
flown to them.
Call the Red Cross today and sign up to donate a
pint of your blood on Tuesday, February 26th,

Boozer-McSwain
Engagement Told
Mr. and Mrs. James V. Boozer
of Newberry announce the en
gagement of their daughter, Julia
Faye-, to John J. (Billy) McSwain,
son of Mrs. N. H. Wallace of
Newberry.
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.”
