(BILL) HATTON FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Speelallat CHANGE The census shows that years ago South Carolina had a good many cattle. They were mostly common stuff that eked out of existence in the woods. We have no accurate record of the amount of beef those old ranges would produce. But surely it was small per acre. Down at the Ona Experiment Station in Florida they find ' that native Florida range can be counted up on to produce about 13 pounds of gain per acre on cattle per year. And I imagine that would apply pretty well here too on our un improved acres. But let science take a hand, and that figure changes mightily. When they improve their areas with lime, fertilizer, seeding, ai}d management that gain in beef per acre jumps from 13 pounds to over 200 pounds per acre. And then add a little bit more of ad vanced science, to it in the form of the man-made showers with ir rigation and that figure at Ona jumped up above 1,000 pounds of beef per acre! You know, years ago an old philosopher predicted that this earth was destined for starvation, as it wouldn’t be able to feed its growing numbers much longer. However, since then earth’s popu lation has perhaps doubled or more. And we are better fed now than then. His error was that he knew nothing of modern science. He had in mind that 13 pounds of beef per acre. He couldn’t even dream of 1,000 and more. This thing of science is just be ginning to take hold on the soil. The other day I rode for 600 miles to Ona. For hours on end I rode through native grazing lands, the 13-pounds-of-beef-per- acre sort. Just here and there was an oasis where science had been applied. And there I saw sleek fat cattle and abundant grass. While on the vast inter vening expanses thin cattle hunt ed the stray blades with which to build their 13 pounds of an nual gain per acre. In South Carolina our grassland farming is well under way. Con fidence has brought grass, good grass, to many a fertile field. And now when the county agents arrange tours to see these dem- KEEPS YOUR MOTOR NEW PREMIUM SINCLAIR , OPALINE i 7>/ > on Grade) REG. U. S. PAT. OFF. MOTOR OIL 4 City Filling Station Strother C.

JOE WILSON onstrations, the crowds are so great as to be hard to handle ef fectively. Grass, livestock, dairy, poultry, trees—these are being rapidly added to crops to complete a more pleasing picture and a more satisfying life on the farms of our state. PLANTING BERMUDA GRASS Bermuda grass is proving to be about the best grass we have. We have a number of good ones for varying conditions. But old Bermuda stands high in the list for sheer ruggedness and cow carrying ability. At Clemson, with proper management, it car ries a beef cattle herd for eight months of the year. But many farmers who plant considerable row crops still fear it so as a pest that they don’t want this grass to come even near their places. And anyone who has tried to contend with it in cultivated fields can under stand that. However, a lot of it is being planted. The Allendale, Barnwell, and Edisto soil conservation districts have each secured a Bermuda grass planter, and the Aiken and Orangeburg districts have each secured two. These are for set ting out the sprigs of grass, not scattering seed. They are let out to farmers on a rental basis. Down in Florida recently I saw one that the owner was doing custom planting with at $6 per acre, he doing everything. INDIAN BAY Deep in the back country of Mexico we passed a primitive mud hut of an Indian every now and then along the rocky path through the thorn bushes of the dry and hot cactus country. Sit ting on the ground there in the door of one hut I saw a small tot sucking its finger, just as our babies often do. At a shaded spot, where the paths crossed, a tiny little fellow was plying his trade with a shoe shine box. While resting, I let him shine mine. In payment 1 gave him a peso, about 12 cents in our money. He started to make change and I waved to him to keep it alL He thanked me and smiled. I told our guide to aifc him what he jras going to do with it. He replidd and it was inter preted to me. “Give it to mamma.’’ And as we were leav ing he ran off through the sparse brush very happy and waving his peso note. Anyone who thinks he’s indis pensable should stick his finger in a bowl of water and then notice the hole it leaves when he takes it out PHONE NO. 1—When you need Letterheads, Envelopes, Bill heads, Statements, Receipt Books, or any other printing job.

From Mrs. Harry Cornick, Santa Monica, Calif.: I remember at tending the old medicine shows at the opera house, being seated with the other children in the front rows Our lanterns were placed on chair, beside us until the ushers insistec we place lanterns on the floor, also remember the big poste raised over the stage, “Remem ber the Maine,” shortly after th disaster. Another memory is seeing peanut butter being sold in big scoops and dug out of wooder buckets for 5c and 10c a pound. From Mrs. Ibbie Adams Dyehouse, Stanford, Ky.: My mother would save the wood ashes in winter and put straw in the bottom of a barre we bought flour in and would le the ashes stay in the barrel al winter. In the spring she would pu it up on planks she called an as) hopper, and we children woulc carry water from the creek ant pour in the ashes to make lye. Sh« cook the lie and boiled it wit. 1 grease, and sometimes would pu potash balls in to make the ly< stronger. She would make a big barrel of soft soap to wash our clothes in. From Basel Nett, Greenup, HI.: I remember when you didn’t have ground nutmeg but bought whole ones and grated them on a nutmeg grater. Also when an old coffee grinder hung on the wall and mother ground coffee for ever} meal. NAVAL BOSS . . . Adm.
