Plans Laid To
Conduct Eighth
Timber Contest
Olin Lominick, Jr., a member
of the Pomaria 4-H club, has
been declared winner of the 1952
Newberry #-H Timber Thinning
Contest, according to P. B. Ezell
County Agent.
For his project, Olin selected
one acre of 18 year old loblolly
pine from which he cut 5 cords
of undesirable and overcrowded
trees. He left a good stand of
the better trees with more room
for faster growth. First prize for
the county was an Elgin Wrist
Watch.
Second place honors were
divided between Paul Richardson
and Alfred Boland both of the
Pomaria 4-H club. Each of these
young men will receive a Parker
Pen and Pencil set.
Drayton Wicker of the Pomaria
4-H club and Frank Cromer of
the Newberry Junior High 4-H
club each were awarded a Sand*
vik pocket knife and a small
cash prize as third place winners.
Other 4-H members who par
ticipated in the contest included:
Walter Pitts, Silverstreet club,
and Albert Long and Hayne Stuck
of the Pomaria club.
This contest was sponsored by
the Fairfield Forest Products
Company of Newberry. Prelimi
nary inspection of all plots was
made by S. A. Marbut, extension
forester with Clemson College
and final placings were made by
W. J. Barker.
According to W. A. Ridgeway,
assistant county agent, this com
pletes the seventh year of this
contest and plans have already
been laid to carry it another year.

By LYTLE HULL
F THE RUSSIAN RULERS were
absolutely confident of the fidel
ity of their enslaved people, they
would quite possibly attack the
western world without more ado.
(They have the atom bomb also.)
But defections are so numerous as
to indicate a dangerous discontent
which might easily engulf the rulers
themselves—if the free world
“plays its cards” cleverly.
In Korea reportedly tens of thou
sands of our North Korean and Chi
nese prisoners are soldiers who
crossed into our lines carrying leaf
lets which promised them our pro
tection if they would desert the
Red forces. The Communists, at the
present time, are holding out for
an exchange of our 150,000 prison^
ers for the 11,000 Americans, Brit
ish and others whom they hold—and
we appear to be debating the mat
ter. We have been willing to trade
all our prisoners Who wish to re
turn to the Communist side, but
have refused to send back to cer
tain death those who crossed our
lines under our guarantee of sanc
tuary. Could there be any alterna
tive?
In the first place the honor of
our country and of every living and
dead American is involved. In the
second place, if we forcibly return
these men we will destroy the
greatest deterent to Russian ag
gression—the yearning of millions
of frightened people for escape and
freedom, and the fear and hesi
tancy which this condition instills
in their masters. For if we break
our word -now, all hope of sanc
tuary with us will cease and the
Kremlin need head its enemies at
Home no Longer. A strong hand
now, backed by an obvious deter
mination to uphold our country’s
honor, will probably get our men
back sooner than would the type
of weakness and appeasment which
has cost this nation, and the free
world, such terrible losses from
Yalta on.
The certainty of freedom and pro
tection might well create a wave
of defection which could shake the
very foundations of the present un
holy rule of the tyrants.

Clemson Extension Information Speelallat
GREENVILLE MARKET
Over three million dollars
worth of fruits, vegetables, and
poultry products moved through
the Greenville County Farmers
Market the past year, according
to Ben Leonard, its manager.
The ready year-around sale for
poultry through the slaughter
plant there has stimulated pro
duction in the area, County Agent
Gray tells me.
With an industrial empire grow
ing all around it, the marketing
facility should grow in service to
agriculture in the area. And
with irrigation here and there,
farmers are supplying it with lush
green vegetables during dry sea
sons when the Piedmont is other
wise ^11 parched up.
BUSY BEES
It takes bees to make most
apples bear heavily. Jt also
takes bees to make the clovers
seed welLl And the cucumber
and cantaloupe growers in the
Low Country often put hives of
them near their fields to get bet
ter pollinization and thus a better
crop. These facts are emphasiz
ed by Clemson’s extension bee
man, W. C. Johnson, who re
minds us that bees also help in
better ' cross fertilizing many
other things.
The wild bumblebees and some
other insects help with this too.
But they do hot usually appear
in sufficient numbers to do the
whole job. It takes good strong
colonies of bees at the right time
to help set a fall crop of many
sorts. Wild bees used to help a
lot, but clearing up country has
destroyed most of them along
with their hollow trees near
fields.
WEEVIL CAUTION
Examination of woods trash at
Clemson's Florence Station in
dicates that we will have a very
light boll weevil carryover from
last year. That’s good news. But
it should not cause us to relax
our efforts at killing what weevils
we might have. For experience
has taught that the damage to
cotton is not so much dependent
upon the number of weevils that
live over as it is upon weather
conditions on out in the sum
mer. A few weevils can eat a
cotton crop up if wet weather
comes in time for them to build
up' early in the season. So the
only safe course is to do all we
can to kill off such weevils as
do pass through the winter.

The light carryover is a dis

up, even under most favorable
weevil conditions. Your county
agent has the latest pamphlet
carrying the suggestions of the
experts for fighting the weevil
this year. It is Circular 367.
CHOPPING COTTON
Thousands of farmers have
taken part in the cotton improve
ment contest since it was started
back in 1926. Back then very
few of them had rows as close
as 40 inches. Now over three-
fourths of them are that or less.
And during the years these
mdliy farm records show that we
are leaving it thicker and thick
er in the- drill too. High yields
are to be found in the close row
and thick In the drill group every
time.
Clemson suggests this about
spacing In the row: “Leave three
stalks per hill about 8 to 12
inches apart. Do not destroy a
good stand by careless chopping.”
FLOWERS GROWING WILD
I rode much in Florida in
March and early April. Away
down, where there is no winter,
I saw many old fields covered
with brilliantly blooming phlox.
Growing wild, yes. And lantanas
grew like weeds on many a ditch
bank or hedge row, holding their
own with the rankest weeds.
At places, too, I saw the moon-
flower stretching a veritable wild
ness of v vines across jungle
growths. It was riding the top
of the verdure, and at evening
I saw its large white flowers pop
open.
Here we have to plant and
nature those things.
MULCH THE GARDEN
Have you ever tried mulching
your garden and flower beds with
any sort of old leaves, pine straw,
rough manure, or litter? It is
surprising how it will help. Keeps
down weeds and grass, conserves
moisture, keeps the land from
washing, and gives you far more
vegetables and flowers. Now is
the time to do it.
1 REMEMBER"!
BY TKX OLD TIMERS ,
From George A. Leonard, Strat
ford, Texas: When I was a boy
my father and mother raised all
our living except sugar and coffee.
Wo had potatoes, apples, turnips,
carrots, radishes, celery, cabbage
all buried outside in big mounds
And besides we had lots of beans,
kraut, pumpkins, eggs, milk, but
ter, lard, chickens, flour and meal.
From J. L. Hart, Bettendorf, Iowa:
There have been many changes
made since this happened—long
before they embalmed dead peo
ple. I remember an elderly man
who passed away and the people
laid him out on a couple of boards
with sheets over him and glass
jars filled with ice to preserve the
body. That was about 55 years ago.
From Mary Karch, Lakeview,
Ohio: I remember the peddling
wagon where mother used to take
her butter and eggs to the main
highway to trade. The peddler used
to blow a conch shell that sounded
over the hills to let us know he was
coming. I remember the chestnut
bags we had hung behind the stove
along with dried apples and peach
es, popcorn and herbs, like catnip
for new babies.
From E. F. Meredith, Fairmont,
W. Va.: Every country home used
to have a corn husk mat at the
front door. It was made by plait
ing stripped corn husks and letting
the ends stick up about an inch
and sewing the plaits like old rag
rugs. They were wonderful for
cleaning the feet
From Sidney Johnson, Lexington,
Ky.: I remember when whittling
was a national pastime. When a
man gave out of sticks he would
start in on a chair or table. I once
saw a judge whittle away a big
chunk of his bench while hearing a
case. We used to whittle while we
were trading or swapping te give
us time to ponder.

ISAQUEENA FALLS, OCONEE COUNTY
Beautiful Isaqueena Falls, Oconee
Creek, are named for one of the most
romantic figures in South Carolina
history. The names of several towns
and creeks are credited to legends of
this Indian girl, Cateechee, who
traveled the Up Country with her
white ^husband. Her name means
“deer head,” and translated into the
Creek language, becomes Isaqueena.
Cateechee and her white husband
were living near Stump House
Mountain, when her people, in
censed at her marriage to a white
man, pursued her one day. Fleeing
with her babv on her back, Cateechee
ran toward tne falls on Oconee Creek
and disappeared over the brink. Her
pursuers searched around the falls,
and giving her up for dead, turned
back to their village. However,
Cateechee had hidden with her child
on a ledge behind a curtain of water.
That’s the legend. It’s a beautiful
one, and we like to believe it.
