Page six Lominick 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.

(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. By J. M. ELEAZER 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. MOTHERS DAY VISITORS IN HOME OF M. W.

The light carryover is a dis tinct advantage though in that it will take them longer to bnild 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. Andrew L.
