w^wm^em FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1952 DauCarmegie AUTHOR UF "HOW TO STOP WORRYING AND STARTtIVING" Appeasing an Irate Citizen IX Q* ESTES, Richmond, Calif., v r as employed aj a deputy clerk **• and had more or less specialized in election work. One day after the primary election, he was called by another clerk to help with a vary irate elderly citizen with the coldest blue eyes he ever saw. “What is the matter?” he asked . . . and he smiled . .. “Can I be of some service to you?” The angry man said that his registration had been canceled, and went on to say many things about people who wouldn’t let good American citizens and taxpayers vote. What were our boys fighting for? Hostility and bellig erency but mildly describe his manner. When he had given both barrels and a re load or two, Mr. Estes suggested that they check the record, saying that frequently mistakes were made. The record showed that the irate man was right It was his son’s name, not his, that should have been canceled. Mr. Estes quickly decided to take the full blame for the incident Although still adamant, the man showed signs of softening, sufficient for Mr. Estes to offer an explanation that due to the fact that 30,000 affidavits had been processed in m * Carnegie less than 10 days, it was necessary to hire green help. This green help had doubtless made the mistake. Victory seemed in sight, but at this moment the old boy decided on another fling and he said “Well, sonny! I want to know what you are going to do about letting me vote.” What to say next... yet keep down trouble! Finally, he de cided to make an appeal to the man’s intelligence and honesty. He had thought that under the law the man understood it was now impossible for him to vote. “Well, sir,” he said, “you can vote, but we both will be committing felonies and breaking the very law that gives you the right to vote. Is that what you wish? I have tried every way to help that I can. If this matter had been called to our attention election day, we would have been glad to rectify it, but it is too late now.” After thinking that over for a moment he said, “Well, son, maybe I’ve been a little harsh with you, but Fve been mad ever since election day. Just you be sure that my name is on that list at the next election.” With those words he left PHONE (T) BIRD . . . Mike, the problem parrot, is the talk of Chicago’s anti-cruelty society shelter.

Purcell Keitt Purcell THE NEWBERRY SUN FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist IRRIGATION PAID Last summer I told you about my visit to the small farm of Olin Helms, up in Lancaster county, with County Agent Can non. You recall, he has 12 acres of land below his pond that he ir rigated by gravity. There he had a profusion of very fine vegeta bles when we visited him in mid summer. Other gardens in the county were burned into nothing. But one of the things that in terested me most there was his corn. It was the finest pprospect I had ever seen. He had made some 130 odd bushels to the acre there the year before, and Cannon said this looked considerably bet ter. So I naturally looked forward to the final yield he got there. Recently Cannon told me he made 185.4 bushels per acre! That’s more on an acre than we used to make on our whole farm. But then we did not have the new concept in corn growiiig that’s called the Clemson 5-Point Plan. Nor did we have the life giving water we could give it when it got thirsty. Irrigation! Each season brings new evidence of its value here. And each season more farmers are trying it. So far as I’v© heard, they all like it from the very first. We know so little about it yet. That is, the timing, the amount, the critical times for it with varied crops, and so on. Clemson is digging into those things, and the best we know is being demonstrated here and there on varied crops with the portable outfit furnished the Ex tension Service by the Camp Ir rigation Fund. WELCOME JIMMY J. E. Youngblood was along with us in marketing work out of Tom Colo’s office in Columbia. A few years ago, when our State Agri cultural Marketing Commission was formed, they got him as di rector. There he has done a good job and worked very closely with Clemson and the other agri cultural agencies in the state. Tom Cole retired recently. Now Jimmy Youngblood has been ap pointed to direct both the Clem son Extension Division of Mark ets and the State Marketing Com mission. This looks like a sensible move to me. There is no duplication in the work of these two groups. In fact, the work of each compli ments the other, they go hand in hand. Where the work of Clem son stops that of the Commis sion begins. And with the af fable and competent Jimmy Youngblood in charge, the farm ers of the state are assured of continued good work from their marketing agencies. MAKE LIGHT SOILS DARK The cheapest, easiest, and most practical way I’ve ever seen for making poor, light sandy soils dark and fertile is to turn Giant Striate Crotalaria loose there. In doing this, you do not have to sacrifice money crops on the land. In fact the crotalaria it self makes a money crop if you let it go to seed and harvest it. A part of this seed was first gotten out in the state by Dave White of McBee. He saw its pos sibilities and multiplied it. Then he and his county agent, Jake Willis of Chesterfield, proceeded to put it all over that county, and it has spread to others over there and across the line in North Carolina. Just last summer I was riding with C. S. McLeod of McBee and he showed me some very fine fields of watermelons he had on high sandhills. I said, “You must have really poured the fertilizer to' them,” they looked so good. He said, “No, not so much. That’s mostly the result from crotalaria you see there.” And he went on to say, “You know crotalaria is a great thing for us on these light sandy lands.” As I’ve often said, this crop has sure changed many a poor white sandy field into a dark fertile one. Willis tells me it is seeded any time from May to the middle of July, 16 to 20 pounds per acre harrowed in lightly. For strictly soil building, it is usually turned under green. Once planted, it continues to come volunteer, even though you might not let it re seed every year. It comes up in crops and is destroyed during cultivation. After that it comes and makes a fair growth in the middle of summer crops. It’s growth * starts slow. But in late summer and fall, it really makes remarkable growth even on the poorest land, where it is most needed. Those interested in further particulars can get them from County . Agent Jake Willis, Chesterfield, S. C. WASHING EGGS OFTEN GIVES THEM an unhealthy gloss. Soiled s gg®» scoured in coarse, damp sand, bring better prices from pro- luce merchants. When scoured in sand, eggs retain their natural ippearance. Keep a pan of sand at hand.

Ore.: I remember my first ice cream cone. The ice cream mail made the cones on a small square waffle iron. They were of s thin, sweetish batter cooked very quick ly and rolled on a cone-shaped form of metal. He was very deft and quick, always giving just the right twirl to the form to wrap the thin strip around it while warm and put it aside to cool before fill ing with ice cream. From Mrs. James L.

We polished our shoes Sat urday evening. We weren’t allowed to do any work on Sunday, so every thing was always ready for Sun day school and church in the a.m My father had Bible reading each morning before we ate. From George H. Briggs, Los An geles: I remember the centennial Fourth of July celegration In our village in central Iowa. The day opened with a salute by a brass cannon that had served in fits War between the States. It was on the grounds across the street from my home. There also at night were dis played the fireworks and the ta bleau. The main gathering was In a meadow at the edge of town. A war colonel was speaker of the day. A cavalry captain^ was the officer of the day. There were games, races, and other amusements. Country folks came In farm wagons decorated with flags. The only casualties were small boys’ fin gers burned with firecrackers.
