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

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

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.

From Mrs. N. K. Rothroek, New-
berg. 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. Mason
Duluth, Minn.: I remember when
I was a little girl we four girls
had to take our hum cleaning the
silverware with white wood ashes
and cleaning about 10 old kerosene
lamps. 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

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.
